Just watch it if you like Depp~

This is not a pleasing-looking film. . (Why isn't it pleasing to the eye!?) Although it's from my favorite man - Johnny. Depp starring, maybe the final outcome is that he died of syphilis, I am very unhappy watching it. . ok, anyway, this is a real biopic: in the 17th century, during the British Restoration Dynasty, there was a legendary figure named John. Wilmert, who was the favorite of Charles II at that time, had the title of Earl of Rochester, not only that, but also a genius poet and playwright. Because of the personal experience of the corruption and corruption of reality, and the deep knowledge of the dark and rotten court, he is unruly, wandering between brothels and taverns, living a debauched life and even being exiled by the king many times, but because of his unparalleled talents and many He was recalled several times, but he persisted despite repeated teachings, telling blatant jokes, writing obscene poems, and mocking kings and nobles regardless of the occasion. Later, she fell in love with Barry, an ambitious actress, and developed a flustered and eccentric love, because Rochester was also famously bisexual. A life of rebellion, uncontrolled alcoholism, and lustful and chaotic indulgence finally led to the destruction of this genius.

I once again express my love for Johnny Depp. This film is a breakthrough, but it may also be that I like to watch ancient court dramas abroad. The costume decoration is too beautiful. It is more likely that I like Depp and cannot be objective. judge. . Well, to get back to the point, I can still comment on this film more objectively. . The whole film is still able to truly reflect the real environment of the society at that time, which is dirty and rotten. In the end, Rochester's sickness and devastated face represent the corruption and social festering in England in the 17th century. The language is vulgar, a lot of erotic descriptions and the environment are throughout the film, although Rochester has been wearing clothes, the sensory stimulation that can be revealed is by no means inferior to ordinary erotic movies. However, this film does not use eroticism to express love. The erotic images in the film are all emotionless, indifferent and mechanical. I don't like Barry. Aloofness and final ruthlessness and a love affair with Rochester halfway through. On the contrary, it does feel good to play Rochester's real wife, a noble and helpless niece. Of course, the film also has criticisms, such as procrastination, the death speech is always in place, and it does not decisively cut off the tiredness of the audience. In some places, such as when the scene is a little bigger, such as a theater performance, when the king is in a meeting, it seems that the director is powerless to the scene. The classic final speech made me think directly of Martin. In the speech of Sixes' "Flying Tycoon", compare it with Depp's acting skills, but the camera is obviously not as powerful as Sixes' control at the climax. And that dragging ending didn't make me very happy. . . But on the whole, the filming of the movie is still good. There are award-winning photos~

There are many lines in the film that are very interesting. "If you see a drunk Rochester, bring it back. If you are only a little drunk, be careful." "Then if you are sober, Where?" "Then it's the wrong person." Haha. . I remember this sentence

  • Harris: [calls to him onstage] My lord!

    Rochester: I asked for no interruption.

    Harris: My suit is one of the utmost urgency: the stage direction at the end of this scene requires, in my opinion, some authorial exposition.

    Rochester: It seems straightforward enough.

    Harris: Yes, um,

    [reading from the script]

    Harris: "Then dance six naked men and women, the men doing obedience to the women's cunts, kissing and touching them often, the women in like manner to the men's pricks, kissing and dandling their cods and then fall to fucking, after which the women sigh and the men look simple and so sneak off." The end of the second act.

    Rochester: A strong scene, an eminently playable scene, and though I say it myself, a climactic one.

    Harris: And w-will the kind of equipment that that young lady has in her hand

    [a large wooden dildo]

    Harris: be available for gentlemen for... strapping around the middle for the execution of this scene?

    Rochester: I had not envisioned you to be so encumbered; I feel this scene should be given... in the flesh.

    Harris: And will we give... two performances on the day?

    Rochester: No, Mr. Harris.

    Harris: [relieved] I am glad to hear that from the author.

    Rochester: With the dress rehearsal, the court performance and the public showing, I envisage three.

    Harris: Right; I don't know if you've met my regular understudy, Mr. Lightman, he's a most dependable fellow.

    Harris: [cross] Well, I shall take this opportunity to withdraw from the engagement.

    [he leaves]
