The Last Tango of England

Why "movie stars don't die in Liverpool"? The English play title that was puzzled before entering the theater: The movie "Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool" (Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool) The story unfolded in Liverpool in 1981; it was once a sexy Hollywood actress in the 1950s. Gloria Grahame (Gloria Grahame), behind the scenes, the mistress is half-lover in a foreign land, seriously ill and lying in bed, with only the tender lover Peter Turner (Peter Turner), who will be with each other in the last days of love. An imperfect but warm ending to the sunset years of a generation of movie stars. The film "Most" is adapted from Peter's memoirs, detailing his unforgettable love affair in the last three years of Greya's life.

A confidant but life is like a play. The romance outside of "The Most" is more dramatic than the movie. The four marriages are infatuated and infatuated. The husband is a movie star, TV producer, and director Nicholas Ray (Nicholas Ray). ), and the fourth husband, Anthony Ray, is the stepson of Gloria (the son of Lei and his ex-wife). When Anthony was 13 years old, he had an ambiguous relationship and was caught in bed by Lei; Repeated love flowers do not bear fruit, and four marriages still can't tie the heart of beauty.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Gloria, who plays like a life, also played the femme fatale (femme fatale), who made men deadly in appearance. In 1952, it was based on the movie "The Bad and the Beautiful" (The Bad and the Beautiful) for less than 10 years. Minutes' performance selected the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. However, after his fame, the scandal brought negative reviews in and outside the theater, and Greya's image plummeted, and her popularity in Hollywood was not as good as before. As the film enters the color era, Star Way is also like Grea, whose black-and-white film has dimmed, and gradually fades out of the film world and travels to the hometown of Shakespeare, England, to try to switch to stage play.

Although they are already milfs, the small apartment in London failed to conceal the charm of a generation of stars The download is full of passion and sparks, and mutual affection. Just one is a holistic stunner, from California in Sunny Beach; the other is an unknown part-time stage actor who grew up in the wet, cold and rainy industrial city of Liverpool. The harbor is muddy and unclear. In the 1980s, traditional industries declined sharply and became the city with the highest unemployment rate in the UK. Seeing this, I finally understand why film stars don’t die in Liverpool (Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool), that is, the stars are silent, and the noble Gloria is still stunned from talking to every move. . Even Peter’s father, as a fan of the previous generation, said directly that the Greya he knew was not an ordinary person who appeared in the kitchen at home and asked for tomato sauce to eat noodles. This big star should be living under a mercury lamp and belong to Hollywood, and the economy is in recession. The clammy Liverpool could not tolerate the starlight of Yanzhi.

But it is precisely this contradiction that more rationalizes this kind of long-distance love with a mother-in-law, that there is a reason why a young actor who lives in Liverpool can resist falling in love with a Hollywood stunner. Together with Annette Bening's super-class acting skills, she has convincingly played Greya's noble and sexy temperament even though she is over 50 years old, confident and full of the charm of mature women, her voice is soft and affectionate. Naturally, Peter was so in love that he would take care of him everywhere. It is rare for the director to tell the truthful and moving love of year-end love without any sensation or criticism in the handling, and he did not hide or avoid this passionate porn star’s desire and need for love and sex, so that the mother and son lovers naturally reveal their physical and mental love, such as In general, lovers communicate physically, from kissing to sex scenes, and they frankly confess that the two have crossed age taboos and filmed beautifully and romantically, allowing the audience to forget the boundaries and distance between the two. At the end of the movie, Peter, in order to realize Grea’s desire to play Romeo and Juliet (Romeo and Juliet), reads Shakespeare’s dialogue on a stage with only two people. The emotional but sorrowful scene is nothing. Immobile.

As a biographical film, the film "Most" shows the ups and downs behind the stars of a generation of Hollywood stars, a 28-year-old love relationship. It also brings out that regardless of age, status, past or status, women have desires and needs for love; love between two people should be simply the "essence" of each other.
