Jane's image in the film is very plump. Jane's reaction when facing Tom was very interesting. At the beginning, she teased Tom in the hotel. After Tom declined, she immediately showed a strong woman and image, and tried to step down for herself. She looks down on Tom, she thinks it's your blessing that I see you, but you don't follow me. After that, her attitude towards him became very tough. With the progress of Tom's work, she found that she liked Tom, and her attitude gradually changed in the process of constant struggle, not all at once. She was jealous, and suggested that her rival jennifer be transferred to Alaska, after which jennifer could be seen in a news broadcast complaining about her in the snow. Jane loves to cry in the film. She often cries inexplicably when she is alone. It is difficult to know why.
She is friendly with colleagues. She is dedicated to her job, has strong work ability, and has a deep understanding of the nature of news. She loves her profession and sticks to the principles of her work. In the filming of the battlefield, there was a clip of a soldier wearing shoes. Jane showed that one of her attitudes was against the posing of the news. While funny, this paragraph also paved the way for the separation of Jane and Tom. She risked a black screen to make changes for one shot. Before recognizing Tom's ability, she tried her best to maintain aaron with a higher level of business to her boss and strive for reporting opportunities for him. As a friend, she treats aaron sincerely and considerately. Jane's performance in love, I will talk about it later.
I really liked the t-shirt jane wore in the 18-minute hotel. I checked it carefully and found that it was written to commemorate the US President's visit to China. Later, Jane also wore a T-shirt of the G7 country. Her clothing was very close to her image, and it was close to her profession. Sometimes it was cute and sometimes ol.
Debra winger was originally going to play the role of jane, but she was pregnant before filming started, and the role was replaced by holly hunter. I like debra winger very much, but I think holly hunter's performance in the film impressed me. Another point I think is that hunter's petite temperament is more suitable for two big men.
In the film, I think it alludes to some sexism in the workplace. Jane's disrespect in her speeches, and her unequal status in the conversation of her boss, Paul. Paul didn't take her words as his subordinate's opinion to his boss, but thought she was a woman proving her smartness. Of course, Paul didn't listen to it, which may be related to Jane's imposing manner or her bluntness. There is also blair (joan cosack), she tried her best to send the video tape, and fawned on them in order to gain the approval of her boss, but she still could not avoid the fate of being fired.
The coverage of the Libyan airstrike is the highlight of the film. At the beginning of the audition, Tom flirted with Jane, and I liked Jane's reaction. Jane reminds Tom what to say through the earphone. Jane is very worried about Tom, but it can be found that Tom's business ability in news broadcast is very strong. He does not broadcast according to Jane's prompt, he has his own language. Jane also gradually reassured him. In this scene, you can also see some interesting actions of Wired reporters outside the news screen. In addition, Jane's performance in this live broadcast was also seen by the supervisor Paul who was watching. She scolded the subordinates who couldn't complete the task. Ernie next to Paul signaled Jane to be quiet, but Paul said that I have no idea she was this good , which is likely to be a factor in the promotion of jane to replace ernie later in the film. I don't know if this is how the media reports the news, but this scene gives us a comprehensive look at the media work process of a sudden event, as well as some minor surprises. The editing and shot scheduling of this scene is very well done.
The style of some of the soundtracks is very similar to the background music of news programs. The
two male protagonists, the contest between aaron and tom is very exciting, and the two have their own strengths.
aaron is talented and knowledgeable, but he is not well-liked, he is not very popular with women, as can be seen from his conversations with ernie's daughter and blair. In fact, he is as good-looking as Tom, and needs recognition. There's a scene where aaron sneaks up to Bobby to check Bill's reaction and says don't tell anyone else. On the men's side, colleagues recognized his writing ability, but were ostracized from above for offending jack nicholson's character. I was beaten by my classmates when I was young. There was a scene where aaron, in order to resolve everyone's embarrassment, whispered to Jane that you would laugh after I left, making them think I was okay, and then Jane did as she did, and Jane looked at aaron with meaningful eyes.
Aaron's performance to Jane at home and at the restaurant at the end shows what a man and a friend should be. As a man, since he can't catch up with Jane, and her heart is not on Aaron's side, then there is no need for him to continue entanglement, and he is also Jane's spare tire. He clearly pointed out that their friendship can no longer be the same as before, but There is no perfunctory between them. He resigned. He warns Jane of Tom's insidiousness, and it seems more like a friend than an attempt to save Jane.
tom looks better than aaron, in his words knows how to present himself like a salesman, he is popular and friendly. However, aaron pointed out that he is a devil. Although this view has personal tendencies or ulterior motives, it is somewhat accurate. I won't say much about his "performance" in interviewing female victims. But this is actually excusable. One of Tom's personalities behind the scenes is that his self-esteem is very fragile. He wanted to be strong and competitive since he was a child. Like Aaron, he is eager to gain recognition. He was isolated at the beginning of the TV station. No one helped him. He had to work hard to start from scratch and seize every opportunity to show himself. Tom and his family also get along very well. The parents of the three male protagonists, except for the beginning, only Tom's father appeared in the film. tom is very realistic, he likes jane, but before there is no clear relationship, tom first got jennifer. After breaking up with jane, if i'm not mistaken, tom married lila who was listening to the lecture together before as his fiancee.
It's hard for me to decide which one of the two male protagonists is absolutely righteous and which one should be chosen as the hero. From the director's point of view, he does not deliberately emphasize the three leading roles, but let the audience choose which one they prefer. Regarding our audience's preference for aaron or tom, I think it is reflected through the role of jane. With the development of the plot, we found that the two have their own advantages and disadvantages, but in the end they are not suitable for jane, of course, including jane, she is not Perfect, her tangled paradoxical wanderings and hesitations end up irreversibly destroying the relationship between the three. . I don't think jane is playing around with the two male protagonists, I think her attitude towards aaron's love is worth pondering, she and aaron lack the ability to fall in love at first sight, before she seemed to be trying to fall in love with aaron, or let the relationship between them Ferment for a while. However, Tom's appearance broke the balance between them. It seems that jane realizes that Tom is her sweetheart. Aaron took the initiative to express his love after realizing Tom's threat, twice, the first time it was implicit in front of the house, Jane smiled and passed.
Her relationship with Aaron is gradually turning into a burden at this point, and she tries to maintain balance, selectively ignoring their delicate relationship as a friendship. When jane was at aaron's house preparing to go to a peer party with tom, she secretly put the contraceptive product (sorry I didn't see whether it was a pill or a condom) into the bag, and blocked it with her body so that aaron could not see it. There was a security check at the party to check the bag. Jane was embarrassed and took Tom out. She took care of Aaron and went to see him again. Later, Jane couldn't make it with Tom. Jane did not have sex with any of the two male protagonists in the film. I think this setting is not conventional, and it is also conducive to the harmony of the three people in the future.
The outburst at Aaron's house was inevitable. After jane ignored her relationship with Aaron for so long, she seemed to be involved in the drama. She foolishly told Aaron that she was going to see Tom. Finally, Aaron couldn't take it anymore. His roar at Jane broke the balance of the three-way relationship that Jane was trying so hard to maintain, and she had to face it head on. After that, Aaron's resignation and Tom's travel invitation pushed Jane in Tom's direction. Jane is actually weak and passive at this stage, which is caused by her lack of control in love. Her disguise and indecision for this also make the lack of relationship between the two male protagonists and her. A deep mutual understanding, when the blow of love comes, no one can deal with it. The three leading actors all have a certain hypocritical personality.
I think one of the choices jane made in the film is very good, that is, her rejection of the two male protagonists, and the other two male protagonists as well. This is not forcing you to refuse because someone is too bad or how it is, but under the premise that it is difficult for you to make a choice, in order to not lose in the game and be loyal to yourself, give up the choice, just like aaron and tom Decided to leave without waiting. . In the taxi, jane recovered from the pain of losing tom, and pointed out the clear route to the driver as before, which was the finishing touch.
The actors' performance in the film is top notch.
Needless to say, the three protagonists were nominated for the Oscar that year. It is the most appropriate and best ending for this film. The three are actually the best news partners. Jane wrote and directed, tom broadcasted, aaron prepared materials, a perfect news report was completed in this way. It's just that tom and jane were promoted and had a new opportunity to work together, and aaron went to Portland
ps: the subtitles in this film are so many mistranslations that I can't bear
to say this first, it's a bit messy, sorry
