There are several such movies on my viewing list. Today I will talk about "You've got mail" which I just watched the N+1th time.
Well, I admit that I like this kind of effortless, fresh and romantic romantic comedy, but I never compare "You've got mail" with "He's not that into you" or "Bridget Jones's Diary". (I’m not saying that the next two films are not good-looking, in fact they are quite interesting. Can anyone tell me why I speak so translationally? When I write "actually", the vocabulary that comes to my mind is totally "Actually" ...)
The starring actors of this film are the most on-screen couples in the 1990s in my mind-Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. The film was shot in 1999, it was the golden age of the old American sweethearts and powerful actor: At that time, Meg's unique cute decree pattern had not developed into the embarrassing years of today; over there, Hanks's The beer belly is not as unignorable as it is now (although he is a strong player...). Apart from the "cute couple", I can't think of how to describe these two unpretentious people.
The two of them are the kind of couple that you see, even if you don’t know each other, but hope that they can go on happily all the time-look at "The Terminal" and "Kate & Leopold" respectively playing couples with Hanks and Ryan Catherine Zeta-Jones and Hugh Jackman know: Although their handsome men are beautiful, they don't have the natural and unpretentious refreshing style of Hanks and Ryan-no matter how they look, they don't match. I can’t imagine Meg going to show off her breasts and thighs to act as a hot girl, nor can I accept that Uncle Hanks wears a narrow-waisted suit to punish rape and punish evil: they are simply the ordinary and true honest people in "You've got mail"-even pursuing true love Sometimes they are a little too timid, just like you and me.
Although the story falls into a stalemate, it is nothing more than a vindictive enemy who finally gets married, but Meg and Hanks are indeed the "couples" who have cooperated many times, and they performed the originally expected tacky story quite exquisitely, and they also showed off their acting skills. At the end of the film, the scene where Joe and Katherine meet in the park is really wonderful:
when the heroine who longs to meet the online lover finally shows up, and this person is the business competitor she gradually fell in love with in real life but was afraid to admit ——Nothing can portray the protagonist’s entangled and complicated inner changes more than a long shot, and nothing can test a real actor too much.——Meg’s expression has grown from unbelievable at first, to gradually certain, and then delighted , But turned into a little annoyance who was fooled by her lover, and then to the complex emotions of overjoyed but feeling too unreal, everything was just right for her to grasp it. Our male protagonist, the naive and honest Uncle Hanks, is not inferior. He faded from the aggressive entrepreneurial posture at the beginning of the article. At this time, his innocent face seems to be saying, I am just a silly boy who has fallen in love and is crazy for you. That's it. (Here I can’t help but think of Julia Roberts, the big star in "Notting Hill", revisiting the old place, and there are some humble scenes of confessing to Hugh Grant in the little bookstore of the actor. To love someone, where do I need any self-esteem? You and I have become very low and low, down to the dust, but my heart is rejoicing. And a flower blooms there.)
Then, when we heard Katherine tearfully say "I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly" with Joe, you might even think, of course it’s me, but you’re too scared. Aware.
Anyway, you've got mail, I've got you.
