Unusual Way of Women

It should be a film made for women. It cannot be said to be inspiring, but some ideas that are originally hidden in the individual are magnified into the story and projected onto themselves, reminding you to think.

My favorite is the Unusual Way by Nocole Kidman. She turned around and put on her hat, and Yingying walked on that path. It was not her mind that was winding. How could the man behind her who was only admiring her through the camera understand what she had passed by?
The moment she squatted in front of him and ripped off her wig was a complete goodbye.
I could have continued the life of loving each other through the camera like that, loving each other. But also because of love, once he returns to a sober life, he will be lost and sad because he can't see his true self. From the standpoint of an actor, she knew him so well, and she was the first to understand that he couldn't write anymore, so she couldn't act anymore.
And that day was the end of their relationship.
Turning around, she walked so simply.
There is no need to stay in reverie, because you know your true self. I would rather break the dream that the other party loves, and break the situation that they are together.
The back view next to the fountain is the most beautiful.

And then the Take it All by Marion Cotillard~
marion is really impressive. Every gesture is a landscape, especially in this film, there is always the illusion of seeing Hepburn.
The dance of Take it All was so explosive, it felt hollowed out.
She understands his pain, she tolerates years of loneliness, and
condones the need for him to move between different women because of his "job", both mentally and physically.
She understood his needs and understood the meaning behind his every move. She was present in many places he needed, reassuring him.
Just because of the first love, it started when he opened up her beauty, released her, made her believe that she was unique.
So when the same picture appeared, but it was facing another person, her tears were so desperate!
So, "thank u for reminding me that i'm not special" made me cry.

Penelope's opening dance and lyrics always felt too straightforward, too sultry, but a little bit sexy. But after reading it and thinking about it in the whole movie, it makes sense.

Another favorite is Judi Dench's "Folies Bergeres". The interspersed and interactive childhood images are much better than Fergie's 'sand' dance.

Confusion, post my favorite "Unusual Way" lyrics

In a very unusual way, one time I needed you.
In a very unusual way, you were my friend.
Maybe it lasted a day, Maybe it lasted an hour,
But somehow it will never end.

In a very unusual way, i think I'm in love with you.
In a very unusual way, i want to cry.
Something inside me goes weak, something inside me surrenders,
And you're the reason why ,
You're the reason why.

You don't know what you do to me.
You don't have a clue.
You can't tell what it's like to be me looking at you.
It scares me so that i can hardly speak.

In a very unusual way, i owe what i am to you.
Though at times it appears i won't stay,
I never go.
Special to me in my life,
Since the first day that i met you.
How could i ever forget you,
Once you had touched my soul?

In a very unusual way, you've made me whole.
