Don't go gentle into that good night

After "Single Man", another directorial work of Tom Ford, chairman of the fashion circle chop party party. The score is good, the composition is good, the casting is good, and the director's personal style is distinct but not deliberate. Jake Gyllenhaal looks extra pleasing to the eye in this film. Edward's few close-ups really have the feeling of a quiet literary middle-aged, sensitive and weak. However, the plot of "Nocturnal Animals" is probably only resonated by the heroine who is full of remorse and has been metaphorized throughout the book. The sentence "killed my wife and daughter" is really deafening... The book is like asking questions Susan: I induced my baby, was it fun? ! What's the difference between leaving me cruelly and becoming someone you don't like yourself, and killing my wife? ! But outside of the movie, it is a crime novel that is too ordinary to be ordinary. And my Aaron Taylor, I really don't recognize him with a beard... His acting is so ticklish, he deserves to win the Best Supporting Actor at the 74th Golden Globe Awards. The handsome guy in "King Bian", the melancholy but clear-eyed John Lennon in "The Boy from Nowhere"... I thought he was a quiet and beautiful man, but he turned out to be ambitious. Laura Linney is also a full-fledged old woman in the makeup of the old man, but she always shows her young appearance in "The Truman World" and "Love Actually". At the end of the film, Susan, played by Amy Adams, waits and waits, stroking her ginger hair—the same hair as Tony’s wife and daughter—and drinking glass after glass of water. I still don't believe that Edward really hates her to the bone, but thinking about the revenge painting on the wall in the movie, it's probably not for nothing.

    Tony Hastings: What you want me to do?

    Bobby Andes: See if you can recognize the one we caught. You can look at the dead one too, although I don't really think it's necessary, we know who he is.

    Bobby Andes: Steve Adams.

  • Bobby Andes: It's gonna be rough on them out there, not knowing how it's gonna come. Maybe Ray get killed, for resisting arrest, or coming at home late at night, might get shot by a burglar.
