Commenting on "Henry & June"

I have to say that the production level of this poster is far beyond the production level of this film. The first half can be regarded as a beautiful kiss, imagine this is a romantic movie, when you look down and see the sexy legs with garters exposed, you can really know what this movie is trying to express What is the image, this is a film that shows lust.

And the image of this poster also reminded me of the cover of an album by a singer I love for the first time.



Amos Lee's "Supply And Demand"

is similar in image, the same half-gentleman or pretending to be a gentleman's hat, romantic without losing the wild sentiment, one is the author, writing provocative or provocative language in words, the other is a singer, using singing to express Your own shallow understanding of love or romance.

As soon as I

go back to the movie, I can find that this movie has too much involvement and logic. The title is Henry & june, but June played by Uma Thurman is purely a catwalk vase, except that it makes people feel that this is a game. There isn't much in-depth interpretation outside of the roles of men and women looking for physical pleasure.

The absolute protagonist of the film is Anais Ning. The film is also based on a novel she wrote in the 1960s. The title of the film is still based on the original name Henry & June. In fact, the name is quite irrelevant. The narrative of this film is completely developed from the perspective of Anais. When writing, Anais may have chosen the name Henry & June out of external conservatism, but She probably didn't think so at all, so it was more appropriate to change the title to Henry & Anaïs Nin.

If you don't know who Anaïs Nin is yet, you're out (forgive me for this disgusting ad). Anaïs, a French feminist writer of Cuban and Spanish descent, had a more than "close" relationship with the great American writer Henry Miller and his wife living in Paris in the 1930s and 1940s. Wikipedia calls it "famous for her erotica".

If you don't know Henry Miller, you should stop reading this (I'm kidding). It was in Paris that Miller wrote the Tropic of Cancer and it was published in Paris. The book has so many anachronistic descriptions of sex itself and sexual attitudes that it was blocked by US authorities for a long time, and it was published in the US in 1961 after a historic lawsuit.

Henry Miller was called "the prophet of liberty and sexual liberation" by a new generation of American anti-mainstream writers in the 1960s, and directly influenced Jack Kerouac of "On the Road" and Celine of "The Catcher in the Rye" grid. The film Henry & June can be regarded as a film reflecting Henry's life to a large extent.

My dissatisfaction with the film can be seen in the comparison of the two photos. I think the heroine Anaïs Nin chose is too pure. Although it looks a bit similar to the real Nin, it doesn't have the smell of dust at all.



The windbreaker is gorgeous, the face is solemn, and Anais, who has trimmed her nails, has a trace of dust in her eyes.



This gorgeous French actress naturally does not have Ning's eyes and unique temperament, although she is also a French woman.

Uma Thurman

's film has too many places worth taking, so I can't bear to take such a one-off.

Uma is too bright in the film, she naturally looks so bright around a male writer and a female writer, she can even guess the sinister intentions of these close to her - taking her unique life experience, or real or debauchery.

I really knew Uma because of her ex-husband. At that time, I was fascinated by Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. I had a soft spot for intellectual men like Ethan Hawke. Write a book," and it sold well. There's also a teasing line in Will And Grace to the lovers who had not yet broken up at the time.

Many of her films are well-known and well-loved by Quentin Tarantino. She has performed well in "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill". Other well-known films include "Closer", "Dangerous" Relationship" etc. She also collaborated with my favorite director, Gus Van Sant, in Tom Robbins' Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Uma's first serious starring role, but it was bad at both the box office and reviews.

In Henry & June, this bisexual woman is the wife of the writer Henry, to be precise, her second wife, maybe she doesn't know, after her, the writer who has been wild all his life will still be Has three official wives and countless lovers.



Anais and June

are two women, both rivals and lovers.

Anaïs Nin is best known for her extensive diaries written during her time in Paris. These diaries, which nakedly describe various forms and degrees of relationships with other men/women, have always been regarded as mysterious treasures.

"Henry & June" is also the result of her sorting out the contents of her diary, and the content and visibility of the original diary have always been considered extremely high. This faithful follower of Lawrence follows the creative line of pure experientialism and is a thorough body writer. She is a person who writes with the whole body, not just the lower body.

Her diary was published in the sixties as "The Diary of Anais Nin".

The Chinese translation we can see is just a pure castrated version. According to common sense, what is castrated is the essence, whether it is the body or the text.
