I am so impressed by Mel Streep's acting! I haven't seen her performance of "Long Dreams of the Covered Bridge", it's not right! When she was young, she was not only good at acting, but also so charming, with fair skin, fluffy blonde hair, soft and charming eyes, and seemed to be able to speak - all her mental activities were undoubtedly revealed in her eyes, plus some small movements The combination is simply perfect! Excellent actors should let the play not only stay in language, but also in the eyes and those seemingly inadvertent actions that cannot be ignored... In fact, this film does not have a lot of dialogue, but this is precisely the director and the actor. The screenwriter's clever place - a story about an extramarital affair, too much verbal dialogue will dilute the "tension", "embarrassment" and alienation effect the film should have. The hero and heroine use some seemingly bland, even nonsense, "nonsense" to create a unique nervous heartbeat in the process of extramarital affairs, the kind of feeling that they want to see but are afraid to see it, blame themselves after seeing it, and indulge in the gentle village just now after returning home. ... All kinds of indescribable feelings and affections are all played by Mel Streep to the extreme, without any intentions, without showing any traces, because the actors experience and shape the characters with their hearts, and they play them after they understand them clearly. No need to sculpt...it's so well done! It made me as an audience feel that Molly and Frank should be "a natural couple" on and off screen - as the film says. Both parties in an extramarital affair are extremely sensitive, and this sensitivity is manifested in men being more impulsive, irritable, and sometimes fearful; women are often unable to extricate themselves, but physically and mentally haggard, struggling and tearing between spirit and flesh. But in this film, the male protagonist is always polite, and the female protagonist does not show too much haggard and spiritual fear. The whole play always quietly discusses the process of extramarital affairs and some inevitability in various narratives. The consequences of a relationship - such as the breakdown of a family, the end of a marriage, the death of a family member, especially an elderly person... Love and falling in love can sometimes be irresistible, and the attraction between men and women is indeed real and heartfelt, even if married Afterwards as well. People are not sages, how can they be ruthless! ? However, the influence of society and family on the relationship is sometimes decisive, and the outstanding performance is the intolerable attitude towards extramarital affairs, so most extramarital affairs are very miserable. There are very few people who can be as beautiful as this film - neither resentment nor excessive sadness, it is always the expression of emotion in restraint, sad but not sad! Love this style deeply.
