Going back to "Take This Waltz", it is precisely because of this foreshadowing that I am full of expectations when watching the movie, expecting this to be another very rich work. But unfortunately, in the last half hour of the film, I lost my mind and looked at my watch (an important indicator for me to judge whether a film is catchy). Michelle's performance is actually impeccable, she is still so natural, as if she is acting her own life. The whole film is still full of all kinds of sweet little details (shower, and make chicken dishes), but it's still hard for me to get into the story, or I don't know if there's a story at all. The literary young woman played by Michelle is always unhappy. She said "i'm afraid of being afraid" "i'm afraid of connections" to the unfamiliar handsome guy on the plane. In front of her uncle and husband, she was like a willful As a child, the husband starts to cook chicken every morning (this is really funny, because his profession is to write recipes about chicken, and later, after his wife left him, he even published a book to teach people how to cook chicken. Michelle walks past the bookstore window, looking a little embarrassed.) They make faces at each other, and then the uncle-husband hugs her to his chest. All this looks good, but why does Michelle secretly meet on the road and find out that it is her neighbor's literary man who is moved? Uncle husband really loves her, that little gesture of showering is full of love, on their wedding anniversary dinner, Michelle asked him why he didn't say something to her, uncle husband said, there is nothing to say, we are every day Living together, we all know each other together, what else is there to say? The young lady of literature and art is a little sad, it is difficult to face a man who just keeps eating on such a romantic occasion.
She restrained herself again and again, but she still walked towards the literary man again and again. Every time they met and the feeling of hesitating to say anything, the filming was quite in place. Luke Kirby doesn't seem to be very famous, but his eyes are really hooking (it's hard to imagine that he is 34 years old, and Seth Rogen who plays the uncle's husband is only 30 years old) The director actually really made them together in the end , living in a very large studio, the last few large shots reminded me of a lyric: "Come on, be happy, there's a lot of time anyway" But we also saw the same shots, Michelle was sitting on the toilet to urinate, and the literary man stood beside him brushing his teeth, no different from her previous marriage. When Michelle finally went to see her uncle's husband, she was in tears, as if reluctant and helpless. So my final feeling is very confused, I don't know what the heroine is looking for, what to change, or what exactly she has changed in these two relationships. The film starts with her baking cookies and ends with the same shot of her leaning against the oven. Maybe this is a state the director wants to explore.
It is worth mentioning that the title song of this film is leonard cohen's take this waltz, and his voice is matched with all kinds of swaying at that time, which is really beautiful.
The last line of the whole song is "It's yours now. It's all that there is"
Take This Waltz
(originally released as part of his 1988 studio album I'm Your Man.)
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
There'
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on it's jaws
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallways where love's never been
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take it's broken waist in your hand
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With it's very own breath of brandy and Death
Dragging it's tail in the sea
There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz it's been dying for years
There's an attic where children are playing
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
With it's "I'll never forget you, you know!"
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ...
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, Oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now. It's all that there is
