The protagonist of [Being Julia] is Julia, a famous actress living in London in the 1930s. Everyone in the city of London fell for her stage play, including her husband and her lover. This naturally makes her feel proud and invincible. But with the passage of time and the growth of age, Julia gradually felt powerless, or maybe she hated the feeling of being on top. The arrival of Tom, an American boy, makes her willing to become a slave of love. Although the passion he brought to Julia made Julia feel a lot younger, but when she realized that Tom only used her as a springboard and relying on her to successfully enter the upper class, Julia's calmness and rationality as an actor made her resolute. Decided to give up the idea of falling for love, turning around is a gorgeous show.
Remember this: when you are on the stage acting, theatre is the only reality. Everything else, the world outside, what civilians called the real world, is nothing but fantasy, and I bloody well won't let you forget it. The words are Jimmie Langton, the ghost that lives in Julia's heart, and that is Julia's own inner monologue. This is a cruel requirement for an actor, but it is also a living habit that Julia has formed: no matter who is in front of anyone, it is never possible to distinguish her in real life or in the drama she starred in. The most obvious is that when Charles and Tom say they are leaving her, her lines and even expressions are the same, which is incredible.
When everyone is addicted to Julia's real or unreal acting skills, Roger-Julia's son is [everyone is drunk, only he is awake]. He always pointed out the fragile and sad side of his mother in one sentence. Julia had no [acting] in front of him. He could only listen to the son's understanding of his mother, as if he was tearing out her perfection. camouflage. The fact that Avice was having an affair with her husband and lover was also told to her by Roger, and it was Roger who made her put on her fancy clothes again and put on a cruel and wonderful revenge scene!

When Julia sat on the swing and said the lines that should belong to Avice, the girl who made her lose her love and heartbreak was just a clown, and when she spelled BEN heavily, it was a tribute to the one who brought him The sarcasm of joyous young people, we see a determined Julia, the one with the actor's natural calm but with unparalleled intelligence. She completed the counterattack that belonged to her destiny, and at the same time ushered in another peak of her career! Annette Bening's acting skills are convincing, whether it is the pride of the supreme Julia on the stage, or the helplessness of Julia who is in love watching Tom and Avice intimate.
You are a monster, a wonderful glorious monster. That's what her husband Michael said to her when she finished her last play. In fact, this is Julia, a proud angel, a lonely devil. She can always change her role in her life, but this stage really belongs to her alone, no one can take away her stage whether it is pride or loneliness; she is also incomparable with her Her acting skills tell us one after another true and inaccessible stories on the stage that belongs to her.
