A man with a mediocre career met a famous woman by chance, the two met and fell in love, and misunderstood each other and resolved the misunderstanding. Such a story has already happened in Rome. Why would a proud Englishman use London as the stage to repeat such a bridge?
It is said that the British are proud, but all the British people who appeared are without exception losers: the home cook who always burns the rice, the wife who breaks her leg and is infertile, and the bloated who dresses up as rebellious and unloved. A little girl with eyeballs, a clerk who didn’t get a promotion and was finally dismissed after working in the financial industry, a good friend who had no customers after opening a restaurant for a year, a roommate whose IQ couldn’t be adjusted in the room, a subordinate who was mediocre and behaved, secretly Customer A who stuffed a book into his pants, Customer B who asked about various novels and children’s books in a travel bookstore... And the hero himself always wears a shirt with a floppy collar and runs a run-down bookstore that doesn’t make any money. Wen Tun doesn't get angry, and he doesn't mind being called a soft egg. . . If "diaosi" is not used to describe these people, where else can it be used?
In sharp contrast, Bai Fumei from the United States, a Hollywood superstar, with a perfect image of 360 degrees without dead ends, is nothing more than a 10-year vegetarian when he tells his failed life, he has two knives on his face, and his lovelorn is regarded as a misunderstanding. For entertainment gossip, and lack of confidence in future careers, that's all. The question is which star is not like that?
The movies made by the British just make such an American woman bow down to a British man. . . Under a fluffy shirt. Whether it's kissing, going to bed, apologizing, or courting, it's all women who take the initiative in the front. A man can go anywhere as long as he blinks his eyes and occasionally says a couple of cute lines. . . Do the British really think Cupid is the queen's child? !
This is British humor.
You think he is boasting, but he is actually laughing at himself; you think he is laughing at himself, but he is actually very proud. A group of losers were sitting around the dining table, scrambling to reveal their failed life for a piece of brownie that wasn't necessarily delicious, and they didn't forget to laugh at each other again. If the Chinese are good at spiritual victory, the British are definitely good at spiritual defeat. They always console themselves with this: Don't get frustrated by today's failure, because tomorrow will be worse.
Not only do they comfort themselves in this way, but they also "comfort" each other in this way. Do not believe? So let's change the question, why is the story set in Notting Hill?
London is the richest place in the UK, Kensington-Chelsea is the richest district in London and Notting Hill is located here. The director's subtext is: Do you think the losers in Notting Hill are already very good? Then you are wrong. In fact, Notting Hill is already the best place in our British Empire. . .
So to those who were moved by this love story, congratulations on being naive to be played by the British.
Friends who read the story as a fairy tale, congratulations on seeing through the surrealism of the movie. The screenwriter also saw it this way, so that the sentence surreal but nice was repeated 4 times.
And those friends who think that the British are in YY, congratulations on seeing the national characteristics of the British, they themselves think so too. But their views have to add two words:
so what?
