Before I watched a movie, I was very afraid to watch a movie with this content, probably because of the sequelae of La Pianiste (it means that I am still very CJ), but I am the kind of person who watches actors to watch movies, no matter how bad the movie is, As long as there are actors I like, I will still resist the urge to smash the DVD and watch the movie, and of course Notes on a Scandal is by no means a bad movie. I really like Cate Blanchett, in my mind she is not just an actress, she should already be an artist, she has all the graceful and charming qualities, fair skin, slender body, a not too pretty face , but exuding elegant charm (suddenly Ellen Pompeo and her look a bit like), like Sheba, the art teacher in the movie, there is no more suitable person than Cate Blanchett. As for Judi Dench, unfortunately, I haven't seen any of her movies before, all I know is that she's an old actress. The success of Notes on a Scandal is largely dependent on the performance of these two brilliant artists.
Haven't read the original novel, but as a normal rule of thumb, the novel would be better than the movie. The social issues refracted in it are a bit heavy, and some views on human nature should be different for everyone. What I've always wondered about while watching the movie is Barbara's feelings for Sheba. Logically speaking, Barbara is definitely not just a black-bellied Old Vergin Les. If you say that she is jealous of Sheba, she is actually pitiful. Sheba's life is not that much better. She is just a woman who is tired of middle-class life. Exciting, I can't bear to let people take a few more glances when I find a child, but if it is really replaced by a beautiful boy, the story seems to become naive, and when a child with low self-esteem does something, it can also make people understand and tolerate , so as not to violate everyone's pursuit of river crabs. For Barbara and Sheba, there seems to be no one I can sympathize with, and the things they do are evil, so they are the scandal notes. . . (Please 5 4 this paragraph) I think the most classic and conflicting line in it is Sheba yelling at Barbara You think you're Virginia frigging Woolf?! (Personally, I am not interested in this woman Woolf and her books) Is it? Really? Who knows, maybe Barbara's psyche is like that.
In general, I still like the actors of this movie, the feeling of the movie is also very good, Barbara's peeping feeling is very real (cold sweat), if you are the kind of person who thinks that Lolita has a moral influence on you, then Watching Notes on a Scandal is definitely a reflection and redemption of your humanity. If you are not, it also means that you are normal. The movie can't be called a classic, but it is also excellent and has a strong explosive force. Reading the novel may be more shocking and memorable.
