Jacqueline's Solo

Skyla 2022-03-20 09:01:53

"The First Lady": A biopic, typically actor-centric, with a chaotic plot. The editing is also very confusing, and the three timelines are interspersed with each other, and it is very likely that they cannot be understood. The background of the story is the Kennedy assassination in the United States in the 1960s. The plot revolves around the scene of Jacqueline before Kennedy was assassinated. After the assassination - Jacqueline calmly dealt with her husband's death, how to make her husband who did not have a long term but not outstanding achievements become a great president remembered in American history, and dealt with the pressure from politics and society, as well as the two children in the family Still young status. Years later - a reporter interviewed her and started a memoir. Personally, Natalie Portman's performance as the heroine who does her part is extremely brilliant (her follow-up is quite good-looking), throughout the whole film, the serious imbalance leads to the malnutrition of the whole film. (Jacqueline's own public relations awareness and crisis handling methods are quite clever)

    This kind of movie is born for the little golden man, and it is there every year, every year. Movies like "Assassination of Kennedy" can really stay as a classic. So, if you can't make any new ideas, just forget it. In this era when presidents are all on Twitter, there are no political giants, there are only clowns.

Jackie quotes

  • The Priest: Take comfort in those memories.

    Jackie Kennedy: I can't. They're mixed up with all the others.

  • [first lines]

    The Journalist: Mrs. Kennedy? They told me to come up. And I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Jackie Kennedy: Have you read what they've been writing? Krock and Merriman and all the rest?

    The Journalist: Yes, I have.

    Jackie Kennedy: Merriman's such a bitter man. It's been just one week. Already they're treating him like some dusty old artifact to be shelved away. That's no way to be remembered.

    The Journalist: And how would you like him remembered, Mrs. Kennedy?

    Jackie Kennedy: [stammering] I...

    Jackie Kennedy: You understand that I will be editing this conversation just in case I don't say exactly what I mean?

    The Journalist: With all due respect, that seems very unlikely, Mrs. Kennedy.

    [pause]

    The Journalist: Right. Okay. Uh, so this will be your own version of what happened?

    Jackie Kennedy: Exactly. Come in.
