By The Sea starting at 12 noon. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. My lover wonders that I hate Julie but I still go to the movies she directed. My hatred for Julie is endless and detailed. I don't know her, and I haven't even watched any of her works, including Smith. Couple [almost written as Shrek couple]. I just decided I hated her because I liked Jennifer Aniston's smile and couldn't see her sad [of course I didn't see her sad]. So I watched this movie with a little bit of hostility, to see how bad she was; to see how ordinary Pete became with her; to see how contrived the movie was. Although I consider myself to be a good person, I can still speculate maliciously.
The front of the movie is boring, like a pot of water waiting to be boiled. A couple came to a French island for vacation. The male protagonist was a rough man, and he was devoted to finding inspiration for writing. The female protagonist showed all kinds of gorgeous robes every day, and by the way, he stayed home. A couple with little communication, let alone intimacy, is clearly problematic. That all changed when another newlyweds moved into their hotel room next door. Because of what, because there is such a hole in a wall between the two suites, and this hole was discovered by the hostess who was bored in the house and looked around every day.
Films like this can be made differently by different people, it might be sly for Finch, it might be highway for the Coen brothers, and it might be funny for Quentin, but this one called Julie will make it Then, the pot of water that was waiting to be boiled became unboilable and cold; whenever you thought it was about to boil, you turned your face and calmed down, and you thought it was going to be a pool of stagnant water. you call out.
In my eyes, the human heart is like this, life is like this, and most of the struggles we are fighting with our own sufferings are just this kind of superficial provocation. The exaggeration we see is exaggeration, the pretentious posture we see is pretentious posture; what we see is crazy, in a daze, crazy, sunny today, rainy tomorrow, dead or not, good or not...all true. Underneath this, the Pitts in the film do their best and concentrate, holding on to what the hero and heroine have always wanted, struggled, and looked for. This is the soul, which cannot be scattered, like the fire under this pot of water. I really feel this.
So, although I still feel bad for Jennifer Aniston, I think Jolie's movie is good-looking and interesting. So I can put up with her awkward beauty, subjective director, and a subjective audience like me. Although I still firmly believe that comedians are Brad Pitt's only survival.
