the light is so beautiful

This movie has been on the computer for a long time, and I have never been in the mood to watch it. I dragged and watched it for a while, but thought it was a very dull literary film, so I gave up.

Today, I originally wanted to complete a task and finish it in half an hour, but I didn't expect it, but I was completely immersed in it and finished the one-and-a-half hour movie quietly.

Scarlett's performance was amazing, and I just started to like her from this movie. The quiet and enthusiastic eyes, the strong life wrapped under the white turban and the gray cloth, the docile and rebellious soul, the innocence and firmness of the 17th century Dutch girl. Perhaps what initially attracted me to sit and watch quietly was the unease and calm she showed when she walked into the painter's house as a maid, a feeling of deja vu.

Some things require talent, such as inspiration for music, such as sensitivity to light and color. In one scene, Scarlett moved her hands on the canvas, the light changed accordingly, and the shadows were cast on the skirts of the characters on the canvas, which instantly gave a three-dimensional feeling. At that time, she and I both had the epiphany of the beginning of Hongmeng. .

The picture of the film is quite beautiful, every shot is like an oil painting, soft and quiet. Even if it's just for these beautiful pictures, it's worth a good look.

    It feels like looking at a moving oil painting in the seventeenth century. This light and shadow, this picture, the quiet soundtrack, the hands that grind the paint, and the tone that is full of ambiguity and lingering words, it makes people fly! Master and maid, it's a tune we all know. The 19-year-old goddess is beautiful! Uncle Colin's repressed ascetic face also made his knees go weak.

    The film itself is as beautiful as a painting. Scarlett Johansson, my goddess~
