Strong spoilers. Written on 11.17.2017.
I was going to watch "Murder on the Eastern Train" today, but I just missed the last one before five o’clock. The grandmother who bought the ticket next to me told me that "Film stars don't die in Liverpool" is also very good, so the following is mine Spoiler version of the impression.
This is the story of a young man falling in love with an actress who is 20-30 years older than him. The actor Peter is too familiar, sincere and playful and handsome, walking in the shadows like Lampard, smiling sideways like Lallana, and when he goes home, he found out that he played "Dirt" with James McAvoy. The heroine Gloria's setting should be 50 years old. It's not that she is old, but her gestures are too girly, coquettish, fragile, romantic, sexy, and there is the kind of innocent romantic and unassuming that does not sell stupid cuteness. Amorous feelings. If you have watched "A Week Between Me and Monroe", Gloria is Marilyn Monroe.
Tell me some of the most impressive clips.
They fell in love without much effort. Gloria said that he was going to audition for Juliet. Peter's hesitation made her ask angrily, do you think I'm too old? The only two or three times that Gloria gets angry in the movie are because he is joking or accidentally telling her that she is old. She really cares, but it's not "We are too old to fall in love", but "I am in you." Isn't it a little woman in my eyes?" Cares.
The fact is that Peter has always played the role of pampering, protecting, supporting and believing. Gloria asked "what am I doing now" when he was star-studded and seriously ill. Peter both answered, "You are really beautiful". Gloria took him to the movie celebration banquet, the producer looked at her sternly, Peter said jealously, "he wants to fuck you", and Gloria said triumphantly and cutely: "everyone here wants to fuck me". Another time in New York, Gloria joked that she had gone away because of her age. When she was reconciled, she asked "What amuses you", and Peter said softly and intoxicated, "Your face". ——It’s very sweet. I won’t feel uncomfortable because of age. In fact, I cried the first time they went to bed because it was too soft and pure.
Peter came to Los Angeles to see Gloria and met her family. Her mother flattered England with a long list of words, such as "the other Eden" (there was a burst of laughter from the cinema at this time). But her sister was not so friendly. Everyone said that Gloria would play Shakespeare more. The sister said that she should play Mrs. Macbeth. Then she told Peter, "You and Gloria's eldest son are about the same age." Is the four husband a stepson of her? After pissing off Gloria, her mother shook Peter's hand and said, please don't marry her.
Peter found Gloria and asked if what your sister said was true. She said, as long as you believe what you want to believe, I have been honest enough with you. Then the two went to see the sea together. It was Peter who frankly admitted that he was bisexual, because "I want to be honest with you too." Ah, do you wonder why the boys in Liverpool are so cute?
Gloria and Peter broke up in New York, and returned to Peter’s house in Liverpool to recuperate after a lapse of several months. She said that she was recuperating. In fact, she refused to see a doctor. After Peter secretly called the hospital in New York and asked if the condition was cancer, Gloria said, "I promise you that I will get better, you have to believe me", Peter actually believed it, and because of this he quarreled with his family. The most unconventional part of the film is that Peter’s family never said, "Should you not fall in love with her", maybe they did, but when Gloria came to recuperate, the whole family was only about love and sympathy. The quarrel was because of feeling Peter should tell her family about Gloria and can't let her not go to the doctor.
Finally Gloria's eldest son came to Liverpool to pick her up. Peter organized her luggage while she was asleep, her fur, her wool coat, her cosmetic bag, her stilettos, which he gave her Music box, desperate romance.
Later, I was crying. After the film ended, I found that the old grandfathers were also wiping their eyes with white handkerchiefs. It was the kind of warm tragedy.
British female writer Jeanette Winterson said: "People should love where they can love, don't worry about love beyond the scope." I would think about this topic, but the movie itself does not discuss whether age will become a factor hindering love, because it simply tacitly—no. Seeing that they are in the same relationship as normal couples, they are almost on the right track, if it wasn't for her illness. In the end, it was not because of worldly vision that she stopped loving each other, but because she was dead.
Anyway, just take good care of your body and talk about love with the young guy for a while in the future.
