To love someone, even a lie is beautiful. What role does Bayfield play here? The minister beside the emperor? Although he is also the maker of lies, he has one more thing than the ministers, and that is love. Bayfield is Florence's second husband, a typical English gentleman. He is also an actor. He was ambitious and ambitious when he was young, but as an adult, he gradually understands what life is, and of course he finds it in it. For a lot of fun, he would tell his lover a bedtime story before going to bed every day, and affectionately called his lover "Bonnie Rabbit", he said: "If there is a defect, it will change, and if it is strong, it will be stripped, then it is not love.…”
Music dream built with money
The protagonist, Florence, has been learning the piano since she was a child. At the age of sixteen, she fell in love with a banker, but her father disagreed and cut off Florence's financial resources. However, she still chose to run away with him without hesitation. That night, she contracted the syphilis virus that haunted her all her life, and her left hand was unable to play the piano normally due to the illness. She loves music very much. Singing is what she has to do all her life. She will ask the best musicians to accompany her to practice songs every day. After her father died, she left Florence a huge legacy. Money and status have become her A stepping stone to realize her stage dream, but she sings and escapes extremely seriously. It can be said that she is hoarse and mocking. Everyone around her is carefully guarding this secret for her.
Florence knows how to appreciate music. She also holds many small music recitals. Most of the audience members are members or actors invited by her husband Bayfield for $2. After each performance, there will be praise and applause. For a long time, various newspapers will also report how beautiful Florence's singing is, and Florence has been immersed in these praises. The honors and praises that may be exchanged for money, Florence has had for half a lifetime, although they are all fake.
Be kind to those who are chasing dreams, maybe you will find different beauty
It was really ironic at the beginning. It was no different from "The Emperor's New Clothes". Both of them were confused by false praise. When the lie was exposed, when the dream turned into a bubble, there will be a hundred times more praise than praise. ridicule. When a child thinks he is a hero and "proudly" points out the fact that the emperor has no clothes at all, you can imagine how embarrassing the emperor was when his lies were exposed in public, as if the whole world was against you, and you stood in the world Center, naked. Florence's biggest dream is to perform at Carnegie Hall in her lifetime. She distributed concert tickets to more than 1,000 soldiers, hoping to contribute to the soldiers with her singing. With the encouragement of her husband Bayfield, Florence plucked up the courage to stand on the stage. Not surprisingly, the heroine "shocked" everyone as soon as she opened her mouth, which of course meant irony here. I thought that Florence would not be able to take the blow and fainted on the stage, but the concert went well unexpectedly. Maybe some of the audience thought that the people on the stage were performing a comedy, but the thunderous applause was still uninterrupted, and this time The concert has also become one of the most popular shows.
What is prejudice? Prejudice is not understanding
The New York Times reporter left the seat angrily after hearing Florence's out-of-tune singing. He commented: "I have never seen such a pathetic, vain and conceited person", "Music is very serious and should not be used. Playing", I can't say that he is wrong, this is the definition of music by some people, in his eyes, Florence is a rich woman, playing music with her money and I, as a messenger of justice, must make the truth public, But aside from the so-called "honesty-based" education that we have been instilled in since childhood, he is wrong, he is wrong in not linking music with personal emotions, he is wrong in jumping to conclusions without understanding the truth of the matter, maybe we Everyone should be kind. It should be like that from the beginning of the movie. For those who bravely pursue their dreams, with less prejudice and more encouragement, the emperor may not be difficult to deal with in front of the common people. Florence may still have Hope for life.
You can say i can't sing, but you couldn't sayi didn't sing.
People can say I can't sing, but they can't say I haven't.
The dream finally woke up. A negative report on her in New York turned out to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. As Florence lay on the bed, she asked Bayfield, "Is everyone laughing at me all the time?" Field smiled and said, "I've never laughed at you, your voice is the most sincere." "People can say I can't sing, but they can't say I haven't." Florence seemed to ring her ears She sang "I can't sing anymore..." over and over again, as if she saw herself wearing a snow-white dress. This song is so beautiful and beautiful, maybe this is what she does every time she sings on the stage. The way it looks. The ending of the movie in this way is too cruel to Florence. If possible, I hope this lie can last longer. I hope she is still the dream chaser who will never give up. But she was relieved in the end, she fulfilled her dream, and received sincere blessings, but she deviates from her initial expectations. So what? After singing, she is already very satisfied.
Although this movie is not rated very high, I don't think 10 points of Aunt May's performance is enough to reflect her goodness. With this film, Aunt May was nominated for many awards such as the 89th Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, etc. Thanks to her performance, she gave me a different musical journey.
