"Skin": If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached

It's rare to be so angry watching a movie, but after watching this "Skin", I was so angry. Because it was about Diane Arbers, a woman I liked and a photographer, because I had read her biography, I had a general idea of ​​what kind of person she was, so I looked at it with hope, but was disappointed.
Nicole Kidman played her. She played an elegant, vulnerable little woman, and she played it well, but this is Diane. Look at that little middle-class woman, with neatly combed hair, well-dressed, occasionally unable to find the north, and a little middle-class worry, but her love and pursuit of art is not reflected at all.
The movie is too busy talking about love. In order to show our female biography master who is famous for photographing abnormal people, we specially arranged for her to have an affair with a person with hirsutism. It's not that I discriminate against people with hirsutism. To say that Robert Downey Jr. played this weirdo with only eyes and mouth not covered by hair is really charming. , indeed charming. But how Diane fell in love with him, I still don't fully understand, and in a short period of time, I forgot her faithful husband, and fell into the arms of the hairy man. When shaving him, it was like a madman. Drunk, the hair of the person watching is standing up, probably this is to show that the heroine does have something special?
After watching the whole movie, the uneasy soul in my eyes is fascinated by art in order to comfort my uneasy feeling. While giving a stage to the freaks, it also gives others a chance to reflect on myself. It is full of personality, talent and originality. Sex, bravery, real Diane, not feeling it at all.
It is a little middle-class woman who developed an extramarital affair due to a special hobby, and then her lover died and returned to her husband, a very superficial story.
Also, the little woman's expression towards the abnormal person was not frank, but she was busy expressing her appreciation and smiled especially hypocritically - can you look at us with a slightly normal and peaceful look, we are all so strange Now, it's either a dwarf or a disability, or it's a conjoined body, but you still have such an admiring look on your face, with a smile on your face and a smile on your face, deliberately expressing intimacy. You can hold it, but we can't hold it.
All I can say is, Nicole, you may be a good actor but ruin my Diane. As the old saying goes, if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached. Take the hair on Robert Jr.'s face, it's natural to stick to it, but no matter how good it is, if it sticks to the wrong place, for example, it sticks to Diane's face, doesn't notice the body, doesn't fix the person, even if it sticks to the wrong place. No matter how serious you are and how good your technique is, it will never matter.
