If I hadn't happened to hear a group of young adults talking about "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" in a slightly obscene way, I would have forgotten who the director Giuseppe Tonadore was.
Ah, "Beautiful Tales of Sicily", this movie by Giuseppe Tonadore is a great masterpiece, but the first time I watched it, it turned out to be a so-called clean version that was castrated.
Marlene's every move and every move is all about the fascination of southern European mature women. As the enlightenment muse of countless passionate boys, she ignited their initial throbbing with her charming eyes.
But what I want to talk about today is another film by Giuseppe Tonadore, which has nothing to do with the "Time and Space" trilogy that shines through the history of light and film, but is equally good-looking "Best Bid".
01
Without the "high-energy" reversal of the last 20 minutes, this 130-minute film would sadly be classified as a second- or even third-rate movie.
The previous plot can be summed up in one sentence: The old virgin who was looking forward to and feared for love finally met his ideal goddess, and the two saved each other from then on, and they both lived together.
Although the warm water plot before "High Energy" makes people drowsy, I still firmly believe that Giuseppe Tonadore, an Italian national treasure director, is not at the level of "hidden thunder in the crotch, cool again". Well, after reading it, I found that things are not so simple.
Next, we will see a plot trend that is even more curved than the Bayinbrook track where Shen Teng and Huang Jingyu are racing: when the male protagonist Mr. Oldman (Geoffrey Rush) happily holds him to end his career as an auctioneer A souvenir of his career, when he returns home and intends to present a treasure to the goddess Miss Claire (Sylvia Hoeks), he is horrified to find that the house full of famous paintings that he exhausted himself has disappeared.
Forgive me for posting a nasty gif so you can intuitively feel the heartbreak of Oldman Oldman at this moment.
...I love the goddess, but the goddess and my self-confessed friend cheated me out of my property. Who can resist this...

It is said that the beginning of a great love begins with hooliganism, but love scams are often wrapped in a decent and delicate sweet icing.
That's what happened to Mr. Oldman's fraud. One day, Bai Fumei, who has countless inheritances, hopes to auction her property through Mr. Oldman, who is a leader in the industry. Bai Fumei's words are extremely sincere, but she repeatedly refuses to meet with the excuse of "agoraphobia", which has always rejected people for thousands of miles. Outside the old man Gao Leng became curious about this mysterious girl.
In the follow-up "contact", Bai Fumei successfully changed the old man's feelings for her from curiosity to admiration through the following tricks: "Arabiaphobia" Attacks, close at hand, but only through the door panel dialogue, evoking reverie.
However, it is not difficult for anyone with a little experience in love to find something wrong: not to mention that the goddess's inexplicable "agoraphobia" makes her ashamed to meet people, and this radiant appearance does not look like a person at all. A fat and round otaku (a bit like mold!) who has been claustrophobic in the castle for more than ten years, she looks healthy and full of energy.
But the old man who thought he was in love stubbornly chose to turn a blind eye, but he really didn't have any experience in "seeking a bitch".
The rich collection of Mr. Oldman in the film has given many shots, and the subject of each painting is a woman, which shows that the old man still has a love for the opposite sex in his heart.
The film also explained the tragic childhood of the old man. The experience of being abused by the nuns in the orphanage made him fear living women, so he could only turn his enthusiasm into an obsession with female artistic images.
And although the goddess Claire is a goddess, in the eyes of the old man, she is also an orphan with a mental disorder. Her amazing beauty and a similar situation to him gave the old man a Double Kill that he could not hold at all.
Although he is an old driver in the auction world, he is a purebred novice in the field of love. So we see the childishness and innocence that have been treasured for a long time and finally released in this gray-haired man:
The goddess said that she hates people who don't like their hair color to dye their hair. One second, she was sneering at her lips, and the next second, the master went to dye her hair back again~~
Oldman, who was shy and bought flowers for the goddess, lived a life like a young man who fell in love.
After being indiscriminately reprimanded by the goddess, the old man felt aggrieved and angry. Geoffrey Rush played the clumsiness of the frustrated old boy to please the goddess really well.
In Mr. Oldman's cognition, the relationship between the two deepened a little bit in this interaction with a little sm tendency, and then he finally saw the true face of the goddess.
It may be because of the sunk costs in the past, or because the old man's love has not been exhausted by the world, and the goddess who has been beautified by fans' filters is perfect in his eyes like an angel descending to earth (of course, the actors themselves are very beautiful. ).
A series of vulgar episodes appeared in the follow-up. The old man anxiously looked for the goddess who ran away and was deeply moved by the story narrated by the goddess.
After the old man was beaten by the villains on a rainy day, the goddess was finally willing to show up, and the two finally completed a great harmony of life (the scale is quite large, it depends on your own search).
When the relationship between the two reached a boiling point, the scene I described earlier appeared. The goddess smuggled away all his collections, leaving Mr. Oldman who was disappointed.
In this dubious romance scene, Mr. Oldman undoubtedly lost badly, but was he really stupid? No, as the leading auctioneer in the industry, his keen eye for rare art keeps the most cunning counterfeiters from hiding.
So his experience once again verified the truth, "The secret of a lie is not how realistic the lie is, but the willingness of the deceived to believe it."
Mr. Oldman believes in love, so he does.

People who believe in power may gain the pleasure of taking life and death and wantonly manipulating them.
People who believe in money may have the security of enjoying the world and material abundance.
What about people who believe in love? It may have the whole world, or it may have nothing.
There are too many smart people in our world, so whether it is power or money, there is never a shortage of believers who worship them.
However, few people believe in love. There are too many people who are loyal to love every day, but they often forget that true love is the carefulness of wanting to touch but withdrawing hands.
Unfortunately, Mr. Oldman is such a believer in love. In the face of deception, he did not complain, hate, or even call the police to recover the property.
Because once the naked truth is revealed and Claire's identity as a liar is confirmed, then everything he once believed in will collapse, and his once-in-a-lifetime love is not even a shit.
Perhaps only believers in love have this kind of childlike innocence and constancy. Perhaps in the eyes of followers of power and money, this approach is undoubtedly pitiful and difficult to understand.
But I have to admit that Mr. Oldman's love is lovely and respectable.
Most people in the world think that making a price for love is shameful and tarnishing love, but they are buying and selling love unconsciously.
The greasy man with a fat brain thinks that love is just a short-lived hallucination with the meticulous service of a peripheral woman, and 3,000 yuan can't be higher.
The insatiable Fudimo believes that love is a car and a suite that drain the blood and sweat of the man's parents, and it is probably worth more than one million yuan.
And Mr. Oldman believes that the price of love is a house of famous paintings that he has devoted his life to collecting, plus every affectionate memory of his lonely years.
There is an evocative line in the film. After falling in love with Claire, the old man asked his business partner, "What's it like to live with a woman?" The business partner smiled and said, "It's like attending an auction, you never know. Is your bid the highest?"
This sentence seems to materialize something, but it is incomparably true and authentic to the nihility and contradiction of the belief in love itself.
At the end of the film, Mr. Oldman sits in the café called "night and day" that she told him when he was "in love" with Claire, waiting for a man who will never come back people.
I remember that at the beginning of the film, in order to highlight the cold personality of the old man, such a dining scene full of alienation and loneliness was arranged.
Like the scene at the beginning, the old man was alone in a noisy environment at the end, out of tune with his surroundings.
It's just that this time he is no longer bored to kill the waiting time, but spends the rest of his life cherishing the memory of a person who lived up to his precious love.
This is the sad fate that every person who believes in love can foresee but cannot get rid of, but his life has something worth remembering for a lifetime.
It is really unfortunate and lucky for three lives.
