If you like Pfeiffer, go to Cheri

Cheri, who was watching at home last weekend, went to Michelle Pfeiffer. Madame Olenska in "The Age of Innocence" has always been my favorite, but after 16 years, Lea (played by Pfeiffer) in "Cheri" is still old, with a painfully thin face. Specially went to check Michelle's birthday, born in 1958, no wonder. From "The Reader" to this "Cheri", has year-end love begun to emerge? After all, "Cheri" is a romantic film. And romantic films have always been the top of Pfeiffer's mountain. I can safely tell those who like Pfeiffer's past routines, "Cheri" is still the same flavor, Pfeiffer's routines. The director seems to have made a special division of labor for the male and female protagonists. Pfeiffer is responsible for the interpretation of pure love, which is very temperament and deep-seated feelings; Gates is responsible for the story. A playboy + a small child should be like that. From the plot arrangement (personally, I think the script is exquisite, people are not talking about love, the story really begins when Cheri married someone else) to the narrative rhythm, from screen editing to sound effects, it can be said to be comprehensive and thoughtful. The director is Stephen Frears, who turned out to be the director of "Dangerous Liaisons" (also starring Pfeiffer). I re-read the Age of Innocence earlier this year, and the mood at that time was very different from now. Who would have thought that today, it would be such a situation? In any case, I am very satisfied to find this one among a bunch of pseudo-literary films. Bloody recommended here.

    The story is actually very simple, so it may not be expected well, but the music picture is really beautiful

    This kind of salty and wet film, the heroine did not reveal at all, it was too unprofessional.

Chéri quotes

  • Lea de Lonval: You came back here and you found an old woman. Yes, you found an old woman. Don't cry. Why are you crying? I'm so grateful to you. Were you really in love with me? Did you really think I was such a good person? If I had been a truly good person, I'd have made a man of you instead of thinking of nothing but your pleasure and my happiness. I wouldn't have kept you all to myself. Look at me. You're right. The qualities you lack, I expect it is my fault. But 30 years of easy living does make you very vulnerable. So no, I never did talk to you about the future. Forgive me. I loved you as if we were going to die the same day. I carried you in my heart for such a long time. I forgot you were going to have to carry your own burdens. A young wife. Perhaps even a child. And so you're going to suffer. You're going to miss me. And you're going to have to try to find enough wisdom and tolerance not to cause suffering to others. The thing is, now you've had a taste of youth. It's never satisfying, but you'll always want to go back for more. You must go. I love you. But it's too late. So get dressed. And go away now.

  • Madame Peloux: Don't you find now the skin is a little less firm, it holds perfume so much better.
