Life is like that sudden stage play in a movie. At the beginning, it was a frolic and a crowd, people who knew and did not know gathered together. "Little Cutie" is a film about the life of American Broadway composer Cole Porter. The film examines the musical journey of his life with memories of his old age, such as a sudden stage play, with a bustling crowd. There is a little cruelty, the inescapable stain is magnified; a little indulgence, once again immersed in those joys; a little confusion, for those who can't tell right or wrong. Those few finger notes seem to stretch far...
Cole Porter was born on June 5, 1891 in Peru, Indiana, USA. He made his debut at the age of 10 and composed more than 300 pieces of music for various student organizations and groups at Yale University. After graduating from college, Cole switched to Harvard to study law for the wishes of his family. Cole, who soon fell in love with music, left Harvard for New York, which backfired and was not accepted on Broadway. In 1917 he moved to Paris to start a legendary musical journey.
The movie is based on the love between Cole and Linda Lee Thomas. As Cole's music career reached its peak, his marriage to Linda also came to an end because of his bohemian life.
When Cole first met Linda, she fell in love with her beauty like a butterfly fell in love with flowers. He sat down on stage thinking back to when he fell in love with Linda. Is it the first time we meet? Was it at the wedding? Or when she seeps into his life like music?
He couldn't let go of his love for men and his quest for that indulgent life, even if that life deeply hurt his relationship with Linda. He cannot be satisfied with one affection, one sex love. This is the misfortune of two people. Both of them are very demanding of each other. She wanted him to make the most of his dazzling talents, so she put up with his bohemian lifestyle and spoiled him. He hoped that she would give him enough room to indulge, have fun, and catch him when the world was crumbling. But who will support her?
He always said that the song was written for her, and Linda knew only part of it belonged to her, she just wanted to make sure the rest belonged to her and didn't have the strength to want it all.
Then he went to Hollywood. Everyone knows that at the beginning of "Pretty Woman", the man kept shouting, is Hollywood the place to realize dreams. Yes, this is Hollywood. Without the habit of saving the sky in Shanghai, not turning all the clocks forward an hour, people have fun here in time. There is no babbling of the huqin, but the swing of jazz. The gongs are staggered and the figures shake, but they also stage a story that makes people feel sad. Among the drunken fans there, even love has become cheap and can be sold.
Cole has changed. Linda finally chose to leave him.
Paris. That is the place where all the good memories are, but they can never go back, they can only cherish in memory. That time, he rode a long distance on a horse and broke his leg, but he still couldn't get to her side. He almost couldn't play the piano anymore, and after many years and more than 20 surgeries, he was able to compose again.
Linda once told Cole after learning that she was going to die soon, "I'm in God's hands, the show is in your hands. I wish it were the other way around." That's it. It's such an unsatisfactory stage play. You can't control it all, you have to follow the whistles of others. You are still crying in the dark, but people are smiling and singing and dancing.
Music is not all used to see music and think people, but sometimes it is so in line with people's mood. I still remember Yeats' poem "When you are old", which he wrote for the beloved Ryder Gun. When she was getting old and dozing by the fireplace, she could recite the poem. Cole uses his music to miss the people he loves, and in his twilight years, wash away the splendor.
"In the silence of the night, I look through the window, around the moon, and my thoughts drift to you. In the silence of the night, when the world is sound asleep, again and again, beloved, when I say to you, you Love me like I love you? You are my whole life, will my dreams come true? My dreams will gradually dim, like the edge of the moon dims over the top of the mountain, into a cold silence. Still hanging in the night sky."
Finally, he can sing with Linda again. A little memory, a little love, all faded from the night sky. A little joy, a little joy, a little bit of cuteness, and the song ends, men and women interpret marriage.
The film stars Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd. Although Kevin Kline has also appeared in such films as "Sophie's Choice", he is more remembered for his comedy "A Fish Named Wanda". Still, like Chaplin's heartbreaking bum in "City Lights," Kevin's soulful role is no slouch. As for Ashley Judd, her beauty always surpasses her acting skills, especially for an actress like her who is famous for thriller and suspense films. A filmmaker once joked that "the way she blows her nose is so cute." I've always preferred her performance in comedy, she's charismatic, and her heartfelt performance in this film is absolutely heart-wrenching, easily captivating sharp critics and earning a Golden Globe nomination.
This movie is not only a moving story, but also the original soundtrack that attracted me. Although most of the invited pop singers are invited, most of the performances are retro styles and lazy jazz. And the biggest highlight is that most of the singers made a cameo in the movie and performed the song live. Robbie Williams (Robbie Williams), the bad boy of the British original Take That chorus (Take That), is now famous in the British music scene far more than the previous band, often playing the soundtrack of the movie. Heard his voice on the disc. In "Britt Jones's Diary", he has already shown his control over a variety of genres, and this time, in addition to being romantic and suave as always, he did not forget to play tricks. Alanis Morissette, who has always been the pioneer of pop rock, subverted the previous image when she appeared in the film. She sang and danced in a cotton knee-length dress, and her seductive voice was full of femininity. . Another rock singer Sheryl Crow appeared in a breakthrough image, in a dark blue floor-length dress, who could tell that this was a cover of Guns N' Roses back then. The powerful woman of the famous song? However, the interpretation of jazz music is still the most authentic interpretation of jazz singers. Diana Krall has never disappointed her fans, and this time was no exception, still playing and singing songs on the piano, but interestingly the director asked her to seduce a boss. Then there is "Every Time We Say Goodbye", the daughter of "Jazz King" Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole. In addition to songs by R&B, rock, and jazz singers, the album also includes songs by Ashley Judd, which is believed to satisfy the curiosity of their fans.
After Linda's death in 1954, Cole stopped producing any outstanding work. Everything was like his broken leg, never to repeat.
