The driving force behind watching this film came from Natalie Portman. I can't forget her appearance in "This Killer Is Not So Cold", especially her eyes. Just want to see her again.
The film "Stealing the Heart" tells a simple and complicated love story of two men and two women. Their complex and difficult relationship with each other will never be reminiscent of the poor polygamy in the TV series. This was adapted from the play of the same name by Patrick Marber, and it was put on the screen. Under the deliberate action of the director, it was still full of dramatic power and sense of stage. The director let the male and female characters roar and grieve in the few and independent scenes, invisibly set a narrow area for the film with a small space for maneuvering. Of course, this is not enough to be an excuse for anyone to criticize the film, because the sense of dramatic conflict brought about by this kind of work is undoubtedly very powerful, a concise force that directly hits the soul.
At first, it seemed that the film gave people a very confused impression. With almost no description, the relationship between the four characters who played in turn made people feel extremely confused. Why is there no basic bedding? The reason is very simple, because the director spends most of his time with dialogue, and even sacrifices a clear time span, the coherence of the scene and the plot for this. With the sudden changes in the scene, the only thing that can awaken the audience's time span is the only words and phrases that are occasionally leaked in the dialogue. This peculiar technique makes the first half of the film an unusually intangible atmosphere, and the audience has to fumble forward like a blind man, constantly guessing the plot. It wasn't until the second half that everything gradually surfaced, as if under the director's guidance, it was easy to understand everything before the end and knew the director's intentions.
To be honest, I don't like this arrangement, I still like smooth movies in my heart.
Dan, played by Jude Law, is a cowardly man. His slightly melancholy handsome face and lack of talent can arouse a woman's motherhood. This type of man is usually more willful. He only wants to get the joy of love, but does not consider the responsibility of love. When he considers the problem, he only considers the current feelings, does not look forward, and does not care what his ultimate goal is. He and Alice fell in love at first sight and lived a very happy life, but this did not affect his pursuit of Anna. Maybe he didn't understand why he was chasing Anna in the end. Dan's weakness was revealed in several breakup scenes. The first time he broke up was with Alice. He hesitated at the moment of the breakup. If Alice did not sneak away, he might continue to deal with the two women. For him, morality is Transparent, happiness is real. The second time he broke up with Anna. When he learned that Anna used his body to exchange for the divorce agreement with Larry, he was jealous and couldn't stand the request to break up, but after the breakup, he regretted it again and did something that embarrassed the man. Things, go to Larry. In my eyes, this kind of man does not give up his dignity for love, but has no dignity. Is he begging Larry for love? I don't think it is. He just can't stand loneliness. If Alice is here, he won't ask Larry. He only loves himself.
What women care about is whether the man’s heart is derailed, and what men care about is whether the woman’s body is derailed. Larry is very domineering and a very purposeful man. He cares about physical conquest, or it should be said that men care about physical conquest, so when he knows that Anna has an affair, he cares not about whom Anna loves more. , But who has stronger sexual ability. After he met Alice, he didn't want to conquer Alice from the soul, but chose physical possession, using this as a revenge against Dan, especially when Dan came to him, his last face was also very disgusting. But he is the winner in real life. Larry's fight for Anna still starts with the body, he understands the weakness of human nature. Larry should be regarded as a complete victory, although he swallowed the humiliation to greet the victory, but he still achieved his goal. When Larry finally met Dan, he told Dan that you don't know how to compromise. This sentence expresses the true meaning of getting along. Two people get along not on love, but on compromise. Compromise for love does not lose dignity, and it makes people feel embarrassed by swaying back and forth.
Alice is a deeply hidden woman, she looks so innocent, but she hides a lot of things in her heart. She knew Dan had the intention to cheat early, and the tearful photo betrayed her. When she told Larry in the strip club that she was called Jane, her real name, her smile was so contemptuous. The favorite character in the movie is Alice. Although she hides her identity, she does it to protect herself instead of hurting others. From the beginning, she has set up a line of defense for herself so that she can retreat. Receiving everyone's eyes in the New York sun. Alice is a character with a strong personality. She has a very decisive attitude towards love. Love is love, and not love is not love. The distance between love and not love is only a few seconds. She can tolerate Dan for a long time. She was betrayed, but couldn't tolerate Dan's doubts and questions about herself, so she left Dan.
Anna appeared mediocre and lacking personality. She finally lay docilely beside Larry, her eyes blankly through the darkness. Maybe she wanted to see her future, maybe she wanted to see Dan. In my eyes, she had lost her direction, and the hug did not warm her. She and Larry are already close in life, but the spiritual distance may not be closer in this life. Anna is very pitiful. She is too honest and impatient. She thinks that love needs to be sincere. Unfortunately, the truth often only increases the distance.
The question is coming, the care of love requires a lie, whether it is kind or not. The truth is always ugly and can't be faced, why must you force yourself to face it, pretending to be stupid is great wisdom.
In addition, the theme song in the movie is very nice.
