It should be because of the "Nobel Prize for Literature" that aroused my interest in watching this movie. Every time before the lottery is drawn, there are always a bunch of people waiting to slap Uncle Murakami, or make a joke to open a game. The wind and rain gossip in the art and literary world will never lose to the film and television entertainment industry, often with the elegant and careful eye of the literati, and the turbulent undercurrent of pretending to be forbearing must also be very exciting.
For a ghostwriting story like "The Wife", it is difficult not to be discovered that it was ghostwritten as long as the ability to write and the words used are slightly compared. There is no special focus on this part in the movie, but the heroine directly disappears from the literary world, so that it will not be too easy to sniff out some clues in the husband and wife's words. (Those who write and read are keen, and are not easily deceived.)
Joan, played by Glenn Close, wrote the record of the Nobel Prize in Literature for her husband Joe, from the admiration and admiration he met when he was young, to staying silently by Joe's side when he was old, and pushing him to the top of the writer with his literary talent. The emotional turn of this character is really wonderful, and Glenn Rose's acting skills are really making people gnashing their teeth on the side, how can she swallow everything so gracefully.
But with the trend of the times, the position of women's writing, or any position of women, is behind men, except for the role of "mother"! Joan is not only a good wife, but also a very typical mother. She calms the conflict between father and son, resolves situations that men are unwilling and unwilling to deal with at any time, and even constantly forbears her husband's appearances, turning them into words and becoming a A brilliant story that sold well.
It's just that in the last dispute between Joan and Joe, looking back to see the role of Joe, it seems a little thin, or the emotional processing between them is a little less. Apart from the atmosphere of the times and the position of gender, what is the reason for a woman with such a literary talent that she is willing to make such sacrifices and concessions? Under the infidelity that the husband never stops?
The harmony between them is too natural, and the plot that focuses on Joan's emotions is brilliant, but in a society where masculinity develops, how does Joe accept that he is a great writer who must rely on his wife's words to support him? The books he has written and the works he has translated to all over the world, there are always times when he has to stand in front of the world and talk about his works, right?
Except for the scene where David, who also likes to write, asked his father, "You don't even remember your character!" Haven't there been other such dilemmas? How would Joe behave when faced with that situation? In addition to the parts of his behavior that require Joan to pay more attention to him, there must be "talking about the work" or "discussing the work of others" scenes that highlight the parts of him that are inconsistent with his writing.
If you look at "The Wife" from Joan's story alone, it is indeed written, filmed, and performed brilliantly about her hidden emotions behind men all her life. But if you zoom in on the story, you will be missing a lot of pieces! Even the dialogue at the end, which was closed on the plane, was not well received. Either the picture of Joe's electric shock in the front fades out, or it can be said a little more later, and the sentence: "When I go back, I will tell you everything." Done! Why more than this one!
From words to literature, people with discerning eyes can see clearly. The ups and downs of human emotions in the long years, Glenn Close acted accurately and in place, it is no wonder that Glenn Close, the heroine, was shortlisted, but the actor Jonathan Bryce also played well , it is really less that he deserves to be given the show. Written before the Oscars, whether Glenn Rose can win the Oscar is also quite exciting.
