Cinderella's Growth Record

Based on Steve Martin (Ray Porter)'s novel of the same name, Shopgirl, this film is actually difficult to make well, and it will fall into a mediocre notoriety if it is not careful, so it can highlight the strength of the director and actors.

The first time I met Steve Martin was the stupid French policeman in The Pink Panther. I didn't expect that in Shopgirl, not only could I not hear that funny French English, but also Steve would be a man with a successful career but no family warmth. That kind of graceful but at the same time the interpretation of the wandering of feelings is penetrating.

Claire Danes is another reason for me to watch this film, and it didn't disappoint me. After Romeo+Juliet, I have a good impression of this very classical beauty, compared to Romeo's youth at that time (she was only 18 at the time) Years old), this film saw her maturity. I always feel that she is very similar to Naomi Watts, another Hollywood actress that I like very much. Not only in appearance, but also in temperament, they are very suitable for roles with complex personalities and honing acting skills.

Some people may think that the film is a bit "awkward"? In fact, as the narration of the film said - this is life... The film just restores it. This film can be seen as a growth history of the heroine Mirabelle. It was the relationship with Ray that prompted her to transform from a girl to a woman - a woman who knows how to protect and love herself.

Life is not perfect, everyone has their own position, especially in a big city like LA, there are people in a hurry, cars coming and going, skyscrapers, everyone is busy but empty... ...There is no respite and no respite. The consensual relationship can only be an extravagant hope here. The oath of the mountain alliance is actually not as strong as we expected. Some people say that it is love like fast food, but since we are all ordinary people, since we do not have the determination and ability to turn things around, the uncompromising heart will gradually be smoothed by time, learn to cherish and learn to protect.

In fact, this film is to tell such a story - seemingly ordinary but profound.

    Uncle Martin is uncharacteristically cuter than Jason Schwartzman

Shopgirl quotes

  • Jeremy Kraft: [walking away from his car, he pretends he has automatic locks] Chirp-chirp.

  • Ray Porter: As Ray Porter watches Mirabelle walk away he feels a loss. How is it possible, he thinks, to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance so that when she was gone he would not miss her. Only then does he realize that wanting part of her and not all of her had hurt them both and how he cannot justify his actions except that... well... it was life.
