I once read "My Uncle Maugham" written by Mao Jian on "Vientiane". Those who don't know it will think that it is an article that is too ridiculing, that it shows too much of the author's own talent, and that he seizes the identity of Maugham GAY and relishes Dao is Mao Jian's personal performance, and has nothing to do with Maugham. Fortunately, by chance, I knew Maugham's alma mater, Heidelberg University, and finally could say "The Shackles of Human Nature", so Maugham would not be regarded as a pseudo-celebrity. But no matter Maugham or Mao Jian, they are full of turbans. Even if they are laughing and scolding, they are not out of the true colors of intellectuals. Just like this "Being Julia", which is adjusted from the original work, it is the same as the coexistence of cold humor and deep philosophy. , the clues all seem to contain subtext - Westerners have an almost obsessive preference for details, the description of the scene, the rendering of the atmosphere, the confrontation of words, people can't bear to give up a little trivial - although it is laborious, it is fun.
Somerset Maugham lived his entire life as a gentleman and celebrity, and was familiar with every inch of elegance and corruption, restraint and debauchery in modern society, so he had this "Theatre". Everyone's face has been portrayed so accurately - people do not kill themselves for their own sake, and this Chinese saying can't be said has become the best starting point. The hypocrisy of capitalism? I find that I still have a little residual thinking, and I always like to cite ideas. In fact, Maugham raised the question of "too lazy to be hypocritical," which may be another globalization issue.
Alright, now it's time to pull your gaze away from the author and back to the characters. When Julia radiated her arms and whispered "Bravo" under the bright lights, I was heartened by this woman's victory. Julia's smooth sailing, she no longer knows how to be a man with her tail tucked in, just as her son said, whispering cursing the electrician for being lazy while reciting Shakespeare's lines aloud - the seriousness of life or the seriousness of drama has long been in the light of day. In his stage career, he was gradually numb and unable to talk about it. Until this somersault was planted, all her passion and fighting spirit were aroused, and all those who loved her and used her came back.
This is actually a bit like the proposition of "mid-life crisis", but it also shows that there is a strong political meaning between people. When the trend is rising, it is trending, and when the trend is declining, it is avoided. When Julia was depressed, her husband was irrelevant, her friends waited and watched, the old lover was meaningful, the little lover was happy to see it succeed, and the only one who really spared no effort was her son. But in the end, the only one who can save himself from the decline is still himself - the current situation is like this, forcing everyone to live tenaciously, adhering to "people do not kill themselves for themselves", including Tom's conspiracy and Elves' ambition - because when everyone They are all going in one direction and they are doing the opposite. It is meaningless in the overall situation, and it will not be worth the loss for oneself.
In any case, the scene in which Julia suddenly cast a cold arrow on the Aisha stage was hearty - it turns out that revenge is such a joy.
