The movie review that should have been written two weeks ago has become a thing of the past, and it's cool to write it today, but there is really something to say, there are a lot of ideas to write down, and I can only recall the plot with my not-so-good memory. Looking forward to it, if you have time, you can revise and add more later.
The three girls with dreams also have a younger brother who is a composer. They have different experiences along the way. Every step forward will have differences. The departure, the death of James and the departure of Tina at the end were differences in art and values.
There are several key points worth mentioning.
Although this film is a musical, the portrayal of the characters is not inferior. There are several details. When Curtis, the economic man, asked the three girls to sing Jmaes, Effie, who is known for her singing skills, refused. I was very different at the time, but Effie's ego character stood out vividly; when James' hand touched Laurel's body for the first time, she asked, are you married, and when the answer is certain , Laurel told him to stay away from her, the personality came out spontaneously, in fact, love and hate should be strong, when they finally came together, like glue, when James died, Laurel was heartbroken, let's see When it comes to a little woman's love and hate; I am surprised at Effie's departure. After she became pregnant, she left resolutely and raised her child alone. I don't know what made her so determined, what supported her to live alone, I think the toughness and stubbornness in her character makes people less hate her; the scene when Tina finally leaves Curtis at the end makes me admire her, women always want to be at least part of themselves, not always To be a beautiful doll, Curtis is a king who gradually builds his kingdom, commercialization is his forte, he always says I'll find the right song style for you, prepare dresses for Tina from the beginning Until James's final breakthrough, he never changed, and Tina's final departure made me happy.
In fact, this constant separation made me have to believe in the saying, "There is no such thing as a banquet in the world", because it is impossible to stay together all the time. Different views can be temporary, but they cannot be permanent. There are always differences in art. One day it will break out, and that will definitely lead to separation. I think people who have dreams will definitely keep walking towards their dreams. In the process, they will inevitably be together, but the final destination is not necessarily the same. Separation, encounter, separation, and encounter are repeated.
I remember Thoreau said that many of the original friends are gradually lost in the journey of life. For some unknown reason, perhaps there are many forks in life, and each fork is a choice. May take away our friends. I especially appreciate his words, life choices will always take away our friends.
In the film, it is a process of continuously following Curtis's commercialization. In this process, it shows everyone's ideals, everyone's values, and everyone's different personalities. The pursuit of art or the pursuit of maximizing commercial value , which may be a problem that many people in related industries need to face.
At work, even the choice of an advertisement screen involves this issue, art or business, which one do you want, maybe what we want to say is both, then this is a test of balancing, and generally art lovers hope Pure and thorough, while commercial people want to cater to the public's tastes. If one insists on catering to the other, the difference will be big. Who can be both commercial and artistic, I can't say, but there are always good ones.
What does it ultimately depend on? I think it should be something in the blood, something in the bones will decide this.
Going far, back to the film, although Effie is fat, stubborn and arrogant, she is not too annoying to me. Just imagine, she went from a shining stage to a dark corner, an unmarried mother doing a humble job to support her family, if she was not strong, she would not have been persistent, so determined, so independent, I believe she is right. One of her last comeback songs, "I am changing," had a line that moved me:
How many dark nights have I known
to face the darkness and pain alone, which should deserve recognition.
In fact, in this film, there are no people who are particularly hated. They have their own personalities. At a certain stage, we hate him, but after that stage, we will find that he still shines, even Curtis, who ended in failure, I can still understand him, in fact, he is also moving forward along his own choice.
On the road of life, it is difficult to define a person's right or wrong all at once. Everything has to be viewed in a process and in a long-term perspective, because after all, life is very long, who can keep going all the way?
