Can you ever forgive me? New York, jazz, bookstores, yellowed letters, pubs, streets... If you see these elements in a movie, you will definitely think it is a romantic literary film full of petty bourgeoisie, but this nomination 2019 Best Actress Oscar - "Can You Forgive Me?" ' is not the case. Based on the memoir of the same name by Lee Isrel, the story revolves around events such as biographer Lee Isrel forging celebrity letters for sale, creating the image of a poor and pathetic female writer: sloppy, alcoholic, indifferent, Autism, obesity, old age, cats... Lee is also a real and pure person who is not confined to Vanity Fair. She was once at the top of literature too: she wrote biographies of famous people, her works were listed on the New York Times bestseller list... And she has a little personality of "never do what she doesn't like": no To create a topic for grandstanding, not to lower her writing requirements in order to cater to the society, not to participate in advertising... She still stubbornly guards this little personality at a low point. Although the original reason for forging celebrity letters was to make money, the words that were written by her with only the celebrity's signature were spread widely, don't forget that her book was put in the discount section of the bookstore during the trough, and Broker's words:
"Nobody's going to pay for a writer named Lee Israel these days" and what an irony that all of this has changed with the addition of a celebrity's byline. In the confession that was sent to court for forging celebrity letters and stealing artifacts, she said "this was the best time of my life", "this is the only time I can be proud of my work", I think This is the most true and heartfelt confession of a loner, full of helplessness and the only remaining pride and love for words. Some people say that they can see their future self in this movie. Indeed, Lee is indeed a microcosm of some people in today's society. This is a film suitable for one person to watch, with jazz and quiet pictures, the slow rhythm is decadent and sad, immersed in the lonely world of the heroine, and also feels her helplessness and pride.
(Quietly say that I feel that the heroine has,, cute _(:з"∠)_)
