I watched this film many times in a row, and it’s basically a daily routine these days to turn on the computer to watch this film. I was deeply attracted by Kevin’s Frank. This film was written in the 70s, and later After many rewritings, the director also spent a lot of effort in the selection of actors, and the final shot was really excellent. A seemingly old-fashioned and simple romance drama achieved such a good result in the United States in the 1990s (nearly four 100 million in the box office), it can also reflect that the public’s taste is still quite right.

Frank loves that woman very much. He refuses to associate with Rachel more deeply in order to love her better. He puts the man’s self-control, manliness, right The woman’s gentleness, introverted, and sullen expressions are incisively and vividly. He is also a sensible person. He understands that he and Rachel will not have any results in the end: Rachel is a star, and he has shown that kind of watery and charming, and he doesn't care about anything. She also said to Frank'i have a reputation of being a bitch'...

There is also a deeper reason maybe that Frank’s latent male chauvinism has been hurt. He felt in front of Rachel. She was not his woman, and it was mentioned repeatedly in the film
'you pay me to protect you that's what I do','you are my client', Rachel asked him why he didn't do it for the president and he came here to do it. He said the simple word'money' and he might also have self-esteem and don't want to be hurt. So he just wants to do his job well, not wishful thinking. But at the same time, we also clearly see that Frank does love Rachel very much. If he doesn’t love Rachel, he can play with Rachel for free, and he can even make some money from her without having to work. Work hard... Why not do it? However, his approach is completely different. This is because he loves Rachel, so his macho heart will be awakened by her. He doesn't want Rachel to control him and instruct him , When Rachel asked him to hand over the coat, he said'Im here to keep you safe, not help you shop', and he also said'i can't protect you like this','one more time I'm gone', These words can prove that he doesn't want to feel attached to Rachel. He wants Rachel to understand that he is an independent individual to complete a sacred work, not relying on Rachel to eat... But he does it all the time. I watched her momentarily and tried his best to protect him. After that, he had always been rigorous and even said'i swear i'll kill you myself', indicating that his heart was really hurt by Rachel's rudeness and ignorance, otherwise He couldn't say that kind of irrational words, again, that showed his deep love and desire for her to be understood.

And why did he reject Rachel’s love? This was already manifested when they were dating and going to bed. He always drank orange juice and never drank, but because it was a date, he drank alcohol that day, and when he slept together when Rachel said, no one can get by you' He said dazedly,'right now may not be too difficult', which has proved that he has lost the ability to protect Rachel at this time. Later, he saw the sword on the table again. This may It reminded him of the Japanese Chong Chang's self-control and discipline hidden behind the swordsmanship, and the dizzy night was broken by the sudden sound of pulling the curtains the next day, perhaps also implying the sudden awakening of Frank.

Is this movie sad? In fact, it’s not a tragedy, it’s not like the real tragedy of Titanic, because it is factors beyond human control that caused the lovers to be unable to get together in the end, one of them died, and Lucy had already made a sacrificial decision for Jack before. Go with him... Frank and Rachel are not together in the end, it only means that they don’t love each other enough, because if they really love each other to the point, they will be willing to make sacrifices and concessions, and there will always be a way. Together, for example, Frank can continue to be Rachel’s bodyguard and stay by Rachel’s side silently, or Rachel can stop being a star and live a stable life with Frank... But Rachel can continue to be his star, and Frank is injured. After I was done, I never returned to Rachel... The song I will always love you at the end is a song that implies sadness and a trace of helplessness, but it is definitely not the kind of sad song of life and death, it just silently The love between the two people continues, and the song has also explained to the audience the reason'we both know im not what you need'.

In fact, this movie is quite like the Mood for Love. It is a relatively beautiful movie, especially Frank's kind of being able to hold himself, middle-aged men's maturity and introvertedness make many girls favored, including me.
