If you have seen the "Spider-Man" series of movies starring "Dutch brother" Tom Holland, then you will definitely be impressed by the charming Aunt May in the film.

Compared to Aunt May, played by Rosemary Harris in the old Spider-Man series, and Aunt May, played by Sally Field, played by Marisa Tomei in The Amazing Spider-Man series, in Captain America 3", "Spider-Man: Homecoming", "Spider-Man: Homecoming", "Spider-Man: Heroes Expedition", Aunt Mei, who appeared three times in a short time, moved countless audiences with her unique temperament and charming smile. .

In the latest "Spider-Man: Far From Home", the subtle and delicate emotional scene between Aunt May and Happy has surpassed Spider-Man's home scene in many cases, successfully winning the attention of many audiences.

The 55-year-old Marisa Tomei still has such outstanding screen performance in today's movies, so her charm when she was young must not be explained, she is completely the kind of national goddess-level performer.

Marisa Tomei in the '90s was the Hollywood equivalent of Anne Hathaway in previous years, if not more.

In 1983, at the age of 19, Marisa Tomei officially entered the showbiz by participating in the CBS TV soap opera "Let the World Turn", thus realizing her long-cherished wish since childhood.

Later, she was smooth sailing in Hollywood. Through continuous cooperation with popular Hollywood actors such as Sylvester Stallone, Nicolas Cage, and Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei succeeded in Hollywood in the 1990s. in the ranks of A-list stars.

Today we are not talking about Marisa's famous work "Pick the Wild Rose", or "My Cousin Vinny" that won her an Oscar, and it is not about the movie starring Robert Downey Jr. Biopic "Chaplin", but "My Heart Belongs to You" released in 1994.

I believe you have watched love movies a lot. In recent years, "Time and Space Love Traveler", "Heartbeat", "The Notebook" and "A Star Is Born" have continued to achieve good box office results after their release, which also proves that love movies are enduring. And exuberant vitality.

Love, the eternal emotional theme of human beings, is always unclear in the minds of generations, no matter how the times change.

When it comes to the country of Italy, you can say it is lazy and mediocre, but we can never deny its title of romantic country.

The long history of civilization, the charming natural scenery and the soothing pace of life have given birth to its affectionate and gentle character, and it is also destined that stories about love will continue to be staged on its land.

Hollywood has made romantic films in Italy since the 1940s and 1950s, and the classics can even be listed as a separate film topic, such as "Roman Holiday", "Samadhi Coins in the Fountain", "Love in Naples", "Two In Love" and in recent years "Under the Tuscan Sun", "Food, Prayer and Love" and so on.

What's so special about "My Heart Belongs to You"?

Let's not say anything else, let's just say that the copyright of this 90s love movie was purchased by China the year before, and the domestic version of the so-called "Fate" starring Tang Wei and Liao Fan was launched.

Although there must be unknown stories and reasons for this, the fact that it can still be remade after many years is enough to verify the unconventional nature of this movie.

The heroine's every move flashes the light of life and romance, the elegant and generous clothing style, the soundtrack with a strong Italian style, the ancient and quiet Roman streets, and the gondolas slowly rowing in the canal are full of interstellar wars and strange forces. The plot of chaos and mirage can still impress ordinary people like me who no longer simply believe in love.

Every love movie can't avoid falling into a fantasy that is divorced from reality because of the constant emphasis on the so-called true love.

But in "My Heart Belongs to You", what we see is not the appearance of true love, but the hero and heroine constantly making realistic and difficult choices between the so-called fate and love at first sight.

Tagore once wrote in his poems with great emotion, "The furthest distance in the world is that I stand in front of you, but you don't know my existence..."

In "My Heart Belongs to You", on the hero and heroine is "the farthest distance in the world is that I am infatuated with you, and you are also in love with me, but a name is destined that we cannot be together. ."

What is love? After watching this movie, I couldn't help but ask myself.

The so-called love must be the hand-in-hand companionship of two lovers, and it is definitely not a bottomless pursuit of one party to the other. Therefore, I can't help but admire the male protagonist played by Robert Downey Jr. During the whole process of pursuing the female protagonist, he has held back, bowed his head, and made bold confessions, but in the same way, In the face of the heroine who insists on finding the true love in his heart, he can also let go and leave, and can use his actions to awaken the heroine and understand the true meaning of love.

On the other hand, the movie also affirms the heroine who is persistently pursuing true love. At the beginning of the movie, she is ready to marry a dentist. After receiving a familiar name, she resolutely chooses to go to the airport, or even go to a foreign country abroad.

From the perspective of this plot, the heroine's image of chasing love and chasing freedom is fully revealed. Many people may say that it is unreasonable for a woman who is about to get married in ten days to be so mad that she searches around for a name, but this is precisely the brave and confident side of the heroine, and it just reflects that she will never compromise. The original intention is always there.

In the first half of the movie, even though the appearance of the male protagonist made her heart fluctuate, her firm belief in the so-called fate made her choose to ignore it again and again.

However, in the second half of the movie, seeing everything the hero has done for her, and her sudden awakening after understanding the true meaning of fate, she finally chose to listen to her inner desire and make a bold choice, and once again came to the airport with a nervous and exciting chase.

As a result, when the film reaches its final climax, it also vividly portrays the heroine's image of chasing love and freedom.

The most thought-provoking thing about the film is that at the end of the film, the heroine's brother and his wife are sitting at the beach restaurant, telling the truth about the fact that he and the heroine went to fortune-telling when they were young. The older brother paid two dollars for the fortune-teller's prank.

At this point, the audience will laugh dumbly. It turns out that the destined name that the heroine abandoned everything and thought of, the so-called true love is just a continuation of a childhood prank.

The movie also reveals to the audience through this plot that their own destiny is ultimately in their own hands, not the fortune-telling of others.

There is also a plot setting worth mentioning in the movie, that is, the heroine faced the same situation at the domestic airport in the United States and the airport in Italy, and got different experiences.

At the beginning of the movie, the heroine who rushed to the airport desperately prayed to the staff at the boarding gate to let her rush into the plane, took a look at her so-called true love, but was ruthlessly rejected, and even was called by the staff to a security guard, she could only wait The arrival of the next flight to Italy.

At the end of the movie, facing the plane that has closed the boarding gate and is about to take off, the heroine once again made a prayer, believing that the love of Italy did not disappoint her in the end. The whole plane delayed takeoff for her love, let her get on the plane as she wished, and meet true love again.

The enthusiasm of the Italian airport staff is in stark contrast to the ruthlessness of the American airport rules, just as the heroine's fate at the beginning of the film and the self-awareness at the end of the film.

After a lapse of many years, after the unsatisfactory remake version of "Fate" was launched in China, looking back and watching this original work in the early 1990s, it can be said that both the plot lines and the costume configuration are still unconventional, no better than now. The love movie is poor.

And the charming Marisa Tomei and the handsome and generous Robert Downey Jr. are even more relish when people reminisce about it again. They are not out of touch with the times and reality at all. Perhaps this is the most obvious classic and superfluous difference, right?

One will still be full of surprises and deep feelings even if it is opened again in the past few years;

The film's soothing rhythm and imaginative ending of the story can't help but think of the "Love Is" series starring Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke, the love that also ignited in an instant, and the dialogue with the same artistic flavor. Two people who are also strangers can ignite the deep affection that arises in their hearts through a common topic.

Love is at its best, isn't it? Two passers-by who meet by chance, roaming the streets full of history and culture, roaming hand in hand, using unconventional thinking and communication to gradually narrow the distance between each other, gradually approach, gradually warm each other's hearts, and finally Really go deep into each other's hearts.

Later, after Marisa Tomei starred in this film, she also starred in a series of well-known works. However, time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Although today's Marisa still has the same figure, appearance and temperament as it was back then She is charming and sexy, but the fact that her temples are gray is destined to be no longer the goddess she once was.

Later, Robert Downey Jr. was caught in a drug scandal. It was not until the role of "Iron Man" in the new century that he was reborn, and he had a brilliant second spring in his acting career.

Later, when the two met again, they changed from being a talented girl to a "teacher meets parent" style Iron Man meets Aunt Mei. This ending may be the fate left by the "My Heart Belongs to You". ...
