Donna Tartt: The Goldfinch

Memorize.

The artistic conception is beautiful, except for Nicole, the acting skills of the main characters need to be improved, and the casting is average. Pippa should be as quirky as Alice, and even Mother Theo should have a bit of that temperament. Hobby's description in the book reminds me of Hagrid, generous, warm, not as thin as the actors here, and even wearing earrings (although Hobby is gay, wearing earrings is too labelled) . Boris's age is not right, is it possible to create a character with a crappy accent? Andy's little actor feels right, and the small details of the height difference highlighted when he and Theo sit on the edge of the bed are cute.

Theo, the little actor's acting skills are really not as good as the little male protagonist in the room. His eyes and expressions have been very tense, and he can't show normal emotions. Ansel Elgort is really eye-popping this time. He did a good job in The Mistake in Star Fate, why is it like this this time... Watching his performance, I keep thinking, he expresses embarrassment, joy, and sadness in real life, too With the look on the face of his current character? It feels like the actor has not read the script carefully at all, and has absolutely no idea what state to show when. Maybe it has something to do with the director as well.

Before watching the movie, the rating was so low, and it was said that the editing was a bit messy. At that time, I thought that I had read the original book. It should not be a problem, but I didn't expect it to be a flashback problem. A good story was changed to this, the whole book I don't know why the most important plot is placed in the last 20 minutes. It is recommended that you read the original book, which is much more exciting than the film.
