If Minghella hadn't died so early, we might have seen Minghella's The Reader. It's conceivable that he's so perfect in his interpretation of the delicate relationship between the sexes that he can ignore the blunt twists of "Breaking and Entering" and the flaws in Jude Law's character interpretation.
When you don't see each other, shouldn't there be an omen? How come no one says to us 'hey, watch out, pay attention' because we think, 'I'm fine, we're all fine, we're in a good relationship' and looking back, you guys are estranged.
In complex social life, estrangement is ubiquitous, especially when estrangement arises between two people who love each other, we would say, this is a low ebb of a relationship, we don't need to know why Jude Law and Robin Penn have estrangement Generation, ten years of feelings, will the element of boredom be bigger?
David Mamet said in "Director's Homework" that it is the best way to start with an event that "does not know the cause", and it is the best way to let the rhythm of the film to reconstruct the causal order of the story. The camera editing of this film can also be regarded as a model of "telling a story with a camera". The first few shots and dialogues of the film make all but Juliette Binoche (Juliette Binoche's identity due to the ethnic, cultural and political complexities given by Minghella). And it seems a bit deliberate, as if Juliette Binoche and Jude Law were sentenced to be two different worlds at the beginning, Juliette Binoche's acting is undoubtedly one of the best parts of this film) The main actors other than all appeared, even including Minghella's metaphor in the film, a fox running through the streets of Kings Cross.
Juliette Binoche's son, Mirsad, was part of a Serbian immigrant criminal gang, and his theft drove the whole incident. By peeking at Jude Law's anti-theft password through the skylight, he and his partner stole Jude Law's computer. His model and a lot of information, the computer contains the specific content of Jude Law's work and life recorded with DV, Jude Law and Robin Penn have a daughter Bea with a strange disease, it should be said that the daughter is Robin Penn's, she is a Swede, the film doesn't need to tell who Bea's child is, and even Jude Law and Robin Penn haven't been married for ten years together. Mirsad saw the photo of Jude Law's family on the computer. Perhaps out of a special emotion that lacked fatherly love, Mirsad was interested in Jude Law's life and left the computer without the data deleted. He also engraved the CD, which was placed on Jude Law's desk during the second theft. And this bad second theft was caught by Jude Law's partner Sandy, they narrowly escaped, so Jude Law and Sandy began to monitor their work place, interestingly Minggla set up Sandy and company cleaner Erika's Ambiguity and conflict, and the prostitute who has a very good performance in the film always shows up while Jude Law waits, her 50 pounds, her CD, she drives Jude Law's car for a few days and returns it When it comes to fox skins (what she calls the fox in Jude Law's yard), her dialogue, animals don't speak because they don't lie. Compared to her, Robin Penn and Juliette Binoche are just boring women burdened by their children and slightly gloomy lives.
Jude Law found Mirsad's address, and Juliette Binoche. In front of the gym, he also gave Juliette Binoche a towel with a yellow thread that Bea didn't like. He didn't call the police for a number of reasons, including telling Sandy in the car at the front. Yes, I have a criminal mindset...you teach someone a lesson, then what? In this way Jude Law entered the life of Juliette Binoche, who was at the bottom of the society. She depended on the tailor for a living. He put his wallet in the jacket pocket that Juliette Binoche sewed to test Juliette Binoche. Juliette Binoche ran a long way and caught up. He also returned the wallet. As he learned more about Juliette Binoche, he gradually fell in love with Juliette Binoche. This process was not clearly explained, perhaps because Jude Law's acting was too mediocre (his expression was always so out of shape, handsome , the charming expression can not cover everything), the conflict of the film is far more than the warm part.
The love in this film is not obvious. Jude Law and Juliette Binoche had a relationship because Juliette Binoche found out the facts of her son's crime and made a kind of compensation and precaution to Jude Law. Of course, we can understand that Juliette Binoche cannot be with Jude. Law lives together, Jude Law's behavior is just a compensation for his existing life (and the conflict with Robin Penn), this compensation can achieve a balance point, through this balance point, he re-aware of the relationship between Robin Penn and Robin Penn. The love of life is the same for each of us. The existing life situation is stagnant and requires external force to break the stalemate. Then all the lost things are recovered and given new meanings, so who is involved? whose life? Jude Law involved with Juliette Binoche? Who gets more? Let's assume a tragic script that Juliette Binoche is no longer a Muslim woman going back to Sarajevo, she's just an abandoned and helpless underclass woman with a son who is very likely to go down the road of crime again , making a living by sewing clothes for people in the upper class like Jude Law, Jude Law re-realizes his love for Robin Penn, if Juliette Binoche is not a mother who only cares about her children, he is likely to be completely unreliable by Jude Law. The emotional hurt, she didn't just mend a few clothes for Jude Law, she mended the almost incurable flaw in Jude Law's entire relationship.
So in order to take into account the emotions of the majority of the audience, the ending of the film is completely vulgar and appetizing, Bea's injury on the construction site finally allows her to calm down and lie down for at least a while, and Jude Law and Robin Penn save Mirsad from prison. Disaster, and finally walked out of the courtroom, we found that we were back at the beginning of the film, the same background music, the same atmosphere, the same two people who were separated from each other in the moving car, went around a 118-minute walk. Big circle, it all seems to have a happy ending.
"Why are you always looking for love, ask yourself why, why don't you come to me?".
What a familiar sentence, people who have experienced similar experience will know it better. As for me, I always think of the sentence Juliette Binoche and Jude Law asked in the bathtub: "Who of us lies more?".
