The name of the movie is good or not, although it is only part of Hemingway's love history; it is indeed clichéd if it is not good, but I still watched it carefully. The following are some personal opinions: I have

watched a few biographical movies this year. I like biographical movies not only to learn about a character I did not actively want to know through the movie, but also to get familiar with the social background at that time and that era. Some atmosphere.
The film's black and white and color are gradually changed, which makes people unconsciously switch between the performance of the history and the real historical photo reproduction, which is still true enough.

The heroine recounted her history with Hemingway in the form of memories, and finally realized that this is an INTERVIEW. I think it is necessary to describe the heroine’s emotional narration in the whole film, which is a bit of a storytelling meaning and is closer to it. I like the relationship line of the heroine.
There is also the Spanish song that runs through the first 90 minutes of the film, which is really exciting!
I really like the movie. Soon after the film started, Bellhorn boarded the train to Spain. The two young men sitting opposite her on the train, one holding a brown lamb, the other playing the guitar, the beautiful melody made me see young people FULL OF PASSION On the other hand, it also embodies the determination to win the war.
At 54 minutes, Hemingway watched GELLHORN, who was resolute in the Spanish Civil War, said "BRAVEST WOMAN I'VE EVER SAW". At that moment, I knew that among the four wives of Hemingway, GELLHORN was definitely the most beautiful, brave, individual and most charming. .
Strangely, when Hemingway divorced her second wife, she said I GAVE YOU ALL, I MADE YOU. This may be true. There are usually great people behind great creators who support him and encourage him; but when GELLHORN wants to divorce HEM At that time, Hemingway cried out I MADE YOU, I GAVE YOU ALL in pain at her door. I DOUBT THAT! Because I believe that such a strong woman, no matter whether she has met Hemingway or not, she has always been so beautiful and capable. There are some mythological heroines, maybe because of the selected actors, NICOLE KIDMAN really interprets the charm of this woman.
Especially later Hemingway snatched his wife’s position as the only reporter in COLIER'S, pure jealousy. I don’t know if he couldn’t bear his wife leaving him to work as a reporter alone, or his wife’s experience made him feel lonely, or he really seemed like him. As others commented, A SELF-SERVING, SELFISH BASTARD, and then even reached out and beat his wife. It’s not difficult to understand why he has been in an unstable marriage all his life, and he couldn’t write good works and all kinds of decadence until suicide.
I also believe that Hemingway has many other great deeds, but they are not reflected in this film.

But the final ending is a bit redundant. Hemingway committed suicide in 61. The female lead said in an interview that he has been dead for 30 years, okay! It is estimated that GELBORN is also 70 or 80 years old, and he actually made a phone call and said "I accept", and then carried a bag on his shoulders as he did when he was young and prepared to go to the front line. In fact, this scene can be omitted and ended with the mirror image of the old heroine in the crow's eyes.

A few excerpts:
YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW THAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR UNTIL YOU LOSE. Hemingway and the hostess sitting in Zhou Enlai's office with emotion.

ENDURANCE WAS THE SECRET CHINESE WEAPON. What the heroine said when telling the history of China. The latter sentence is "Japanese people should understand this, and everyone should remember." It's a bit shocking.
