Unconsciously, I have watched it 3 times and watched it for the third time. This time I finally understand why I like this film. Except for Uncle Lang's good looks and good acting skills, there are many scenes in this film that directly touch my heart. The soft part, romantic to the extreme, often reminds people of the most beautiful look of love - let us no longer be defensive and become soft.
The most touching thing was the scene where Kate woke up and ate toast. In addition to being romantic, she was moved to tears. It should not be just women, everyone hopes that they can meet a person who respects themselves, can treat each other tenderly, and can be attentive. The film was specially prepared before. The slice of toast with strawberries was made by a toast driver who Leo couldn't understand at all. He studied it for Kate's sake. Watching Kate put strawberry cream toast in her mouth makes me want to have a bite too! ?
Duke is not a perfect person, and seeing the hypocritical face of Boss Kate couldn't help but piss him off. But as soon as I got home, I regretted it, and solemnly took out a quill pen and wrote a letter. Just imagine that most of the time now we don't even want to say "I was wrong", let alone "generate electricity with love" for a candlelit dinner. what is love? In front of these sincere actions, words are just so empty. I also understand better that the lack of ritual in modern life is also the lack of solemn commitment to life, the serious attitude of living in the moment.
Why is Duke so attractive? Maybe it's because he has an air of kindness, integrity, sincerity, and 100% commitment to everything from start to finish. This kind of gentleman's character is not deliberately displayed for the sake of calculation, but a personality manifestation of the internalization of true belief. The role of Boss Kate seems to exist to set off Leopold, a wretched boss who uses his little power to play with multiple women in the office, a person who pretends to be the first, and a person who thinks that the pursuit of girls should be wholeheartedly, respect each other, and be proficient in playing the piano and opera. Elegant gentleman, standing tall and low. Leo's knight-like behavior, careful confession, and passionate company are simply the perfect half of a girl's heart. And most of the relationships we usually see are full of strategies, routines, and the part that really takes heart. How much is the investment regardless of the cost? Especially for a woman like the heroine who works hard alone in a big city but has a bad relationship, and even the boss wants to take the opportunity to wipe the oil, you can imagine how many breakdowns, heartbreak and loneliness no one talks about. When someone not only understands your fragility, but also sends a wholehearted care by your side, this is probably what the ideal of love looks like. It may be that I am also a person who has to do my best to do things and has a very strong character. I also met a gentle, kind and considerate person, which made me feel very immersed in this film, and took you to experience the most beautiful appearance of love over and over again—— Let the person in it put down the armor they usually need, become soft, feel safe and warm.
Uncle Wolf's performance in this is perfect, and the Duke is simply a role tailored for him. I have also seen Brad Pitt play the god of death before. In the film, I often feel that it is too deliberately serious, and it is easy to play. But Uncle Wolf is here, and his temperament is naturally revealed. He is simply a duke! Meg also portrayed a stubborn workplace woman incisively and vividly, and even the posture of walking with her legs folded is in place, making Kate not a sweet and greasy American sweetheart, nor a helpless and dependent little woman, but an independent, stubborn, The modern woman with what she wants to fight for. Some film critics say that they don't understand why the Duke likes her. Thinking about the plot setting, they are used to seeing the fair lady from a hundred years ago. It is this independent personality of modern women represented by Kate that makes the Duke feel refreshing and very attractive!
