Recently, I often see the news of the marriage change of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, a model couple in the eyes of the world. There are media reports that they are divorced, even taking the reasons for the divorce and property division into account, for fear of missing this good show; there are also reports that Julie dismissed a close female assistant because the other party was too close to her husband. , I feel that in the battle of defending marriage, Julie has never taken it lightly. From the victor at the beginning to the guardian later, she has always been high above, and has a sense of hegemony that the territory is inviolable.
This "By the sea" is a literary film written and directed by Jolie and invited her husband to perform. Because of the name of the husband and wife shop, it is enough to attract attention and box office. Especially after they have gone through so many years of ups and downs, our audience naturally has high expectations for this movie.
The film tells the story of a couple of writers and artists who have been married for 14 years, one is a writer and the other is a former dancer, who ran from New York to France to peep at the newlyweds in order to solve a certain problem. But the two of them kept holding back what the problem was and didn't want to tell the audience. The most intuitive feeling in the whole film is Jolie's bitter expression face and Pitt's wrinkled eye bags.
We can all understand that people say the 7-year itch, it's been 14 years, and it has to be a little more itchy. I sincerely want to look at Jolie's film ambitions and try to dig out this The story and the connection between their husband and wife, and raised it to the connotation that extends from the plot to the reality from the inside out, but in the end it was found that it was played.
There are a lot of cold wars, couples go on vacation to a picturesque place to try to repair the cracks in their marriage, of course, we don't know what the cracks are, but everyday life is like two parallel lines, the husband wakes up and goes The tavern is looking for inspiration. He often smokes and chats with the uncle while drinking. When he is drunk, he vomits or goes crazy with alcohol. His wife is on the balcony outside the room, basking in the sun, reading a book, and then sleeping in the same bed at night.
However, the contradiction between the characters has not been explained, and it is completely unclear what caused the marriage problem between the two. It's just that the heroine's repeated inexplicable behavior and nervousness can be felt all the time, and she has "made" a certain level, which is simply a model of black belly.
In a few close-ups, the heroine always puts the lens down, while the hero turns the sunglasses over several times. Maybe it's to express the incompatibility of the two's life style, or to express that the husband has been cleaning up the mess for his wife. The two of them are very willful, and every time she puts it like this, he will help her turn it over. But because he knew each other's temperament, even if he didn't like her behavior, he no longer used words to persuade him, but habitually did it according to his ideas, and although she acquiesced to it happen, but as long as there is next time, she will still follow her original habits.
This is like many couples in reality. I once heard a story of a couple. The wife had a conflict with her husband because of the arrangement of the towels. She told the husband how to put the towels after each use, but the husband first The first time I remembered it, I forgot it the second time. After a long time, we got used to each other. Every time the husband placed the wrong towel, the wife would not complain anymore, but took the initiative to put the towel in the way she wanted to avoid quarrels. . This is a kind of tacit understanding between husband and wife, and I think this is also the message that Julie wants to send.
There is a detail that runs through the whole play is that the heroine has been cold and angry. At first, because she thought she had a physical disability, she felt inferior and didn't let her husband touch her, but at the end, at the end, at the end, Dangdang, the answer was finally revealed, that is, the female protagonist is infertile.
Oh my god, this big thing needs such a long and tedious foreshadowing. The only thing the couple has in common is to spy on the lives of the newlyweds next door from the hole. The heroine first discovered a small hole in the room, and then intentionally or unintentionally peeked back to her YY. The hero also discovered it after the heroine went out one day, so he also looked at it. The last two people watched it together, and they found it funny. They dragged on and had no plot for 110 minutes. I peeped at the heroine next door countless times and ran to do something with the handsome guy next door. After being stopped by the hero, I finally let go of my guard. Began to reveal the truth, after Balabala, the two reconciled.
The film is depressing, but the scenery is very beautiful. You carefully follow the dreary pace of the film, trying to get a glimpse of its deep meaning, but in the end you realize that you are thinking too much.
