Fortunately, there are handsome

Spent two lunches rewatching Jude Law. The opening shot has the delicate feeling of Wong Kar-wai, and the way of talking to himself about this shot is very suitable for portraying the characters.

Alfie is a typical handsome guy with a bright appearance, an empty heart and thinking with his lower body. A single smile can captivate a prejudiced woman, not to mention his high-level jokes. Relying on his own cleverness, he navigated between silly women with ease, thinking that he would never be hurt, and that he could always find a spare tire. This opportunist thinks he has found a way to climb, but is hurt by a smart woman with a career saying "he's younger than you". He always said that he had no intention of hurting anyone, but he had hurt everyone. In the end only to be alone.

I'm sure I didn't understand it when I watched this movie before, at least I can't believe that Alfie really exists in this world. Now, I am convinced, and this kind of unremarkable film can no longer make me feel like it. Fortunately, there are handsome guys.
