It seems that it’s a long way to go. In fact, I want to say that in "Break Up Letter", John and Shavena are together, the bridge between you and me, is the most beautiful scenery in the movie, and in this affectionate interaction , The mature acting skills of the two can fool the audience's eyes.
When watching the film, although he noticed the small gap in the beauty, Channing was still stylish, mature and full of game; Amanda was slightly haggard, and some close-up shots magnified the flaws under exquisiteness, but she was always moved. "The eagle catches the chicken" style of pure love. The charming little girl jumped into the arms of her boyfriend who was as solid as a city wall and talked about love often, but this sweet sugar content had four plus signs.
I haven't read the original novel, but I can understand the regret and unhappiness that the readers feel after seeing the film. This kind of contradiction usually occurs in movies adapted from romantic literary novels. The images cannot accurately express the author’s self-talking spiritual world, and often directly reduce the level of the film. The viewability is naturally inferior to the conjecture contained in the type. The colorful world.
Just like Xu Jinglei’s adaptation of S. Zweig’s "A Letter from a Strange Woman", Stephen Zweig’s novel text emphasizes the stream of consciousness, and spirit and thought are the most powerful narrative power. Poetic novels are also aloof and narcissistic, which in themselves is an obstacle to transforming into images. If you want to overcome it, you can only make up for it from other angles. It turns out that the original "Letter from a Stranger Woman" was a plausible film. In addition to pushing the soundtrack "Pipa Yu" into the popular wave, it ended up telling a tragic love story that burned only at one end anyway. So putting aside these objective differences in form, compare all kinds of idol dramas, use a simple love theme, and slightly tremble your heart. "Break Up Letter" achieves this level, and I am embarrassed to give full attention to love. The story poured cold water.
The original author Nicholas Sparks’ son has mild autism. It is said that the fathers of the young boys Allen and John in the original novel are both autistic patients. The film is indeed faithful to the content of the novel, but in a warm way. Cleverly defined the characteristics of the characters, a great father who has been with silver coins throughout his life, and a hopeful boy who can build a bridge of friendship with the horse. In the film, seeing the figure of Richard Jenkins, a character actor who often interprets roles in silence and coldness, naturally adds points to his vivid acting skills.
At the airport, from the scene of the father sending his son back to the army, the father and son are facing each other in embarrassment, until the father who suffered a stroke is put in the corridor of the hospital, and the son reads his letter to his father for him. At this time, I really cry Turning around in his eyes, for John who has been alone since then, and even the father who is not the "protagonist". In fact, neither the content of the letter read by John nor the long tears moved me, and I don't know why the eyes are so moist.
The sad atmosphere can be said to be the keynote of the film. John and Savina’s happy days are only two weeks, and the remaining two-thirds of the plot is expressed in the "artistic conception" of the Hongyan Biography. It's also difficult. Until the end, John's father died and the poor third party also passed away, and John and Shavina continued their relationship. It's that simple, create a little entanglement, and then everyone is happy.
The only thing that is criticized is a large number of artificial scenes about John's life in the army, which are complicated in content, but have a sense of weightlessness. There is also a “change of heart” that makes people bewildered. When John asked Shavena for a reason for breaking up, he talked about a series of redemption related to Tim and his son, which is a bit like deliberately finding awkwardness. As for the combined whole play, the whole is just like the three distinct paragraphs separated from the textbook. There must be no details connecting each other, so there are symptoms of osteoporosis. In short, as far as I am concerned, I can enjoy the relaxation and pleasure of the first 30 minutes of the movie, and I am also satisfied. The love of beauty is common to everyone. It is very beautiful to see the tall and mighty handsome guy implicitly love the small and exquisite beauties.
