The atmosphere of the late 1950s in the United States was similar to that of China in the late 1970s. Various ideological trends that were originally suppressed and silenced followed the disbandment of the Non-American Activities Committee. The ultra-conservatives represented by McCarthy became disgraced and surfaced one after another. Poet Allen. Ginsburg publishes landmark work Howl, Bob. Dylan began the earliest attempts at rock and roll, the black civil rights movement grew stronger, and in the photography world, it was Diane. The rise of a group of avant-garde artists represented by Ebers has made people discover that photography is not only about taking pictures of landscapes, but also an art that can express the author's thoughts through the language of the lens. These trends of thought influence each other and promote each other, and finally jointly created the splendid 1960s that happened only once in human history.
A very important clue in the film is the camera. We see that when Diane met Reiner for the first time, the first thing Reiner asked her to do was put down the camera. At that time, Diane was hesitant, and When she felt put down the camera and walked into his life to see the world that she never dreamed of before, she finally understood the true meaning of photography, and when she walked into that naturist (that is, like Naked people walking around) camp, she took the initiative to put down the camera, took the initiative to join the group of these people.

And when Diane reached out and begged Aaron to join her in exploring the realm of art she had discovered, Aaron was timid, and it also decided that he could only be called a photographer and never be a photographer for the rest of his life. .
Robert Jr. Downey played Reiner, the hairy man. If Kidman hadn't shaved his hair in the end, no one would have recognized him as playing this role. I feel that Downey is still not suitable for this kind of film. He is the comedy. The style of "Iron Man", "Tropic Thunder" and "Sherlock Holmes" also confirms this. Nicole. Kidman was unwilling to be a Hollywood vase after earning both fame and fortune through "Moulin Rouge". He completed large-scale performances in several consecutive films, and played a poor woman who was abused by the whole town in "Dog Town". ; put on a fake nose to play the writer Virginia in "All the Time". Woolf; and she appeared naked in this film, but these efforts did not bring good results, largely because her image was so perfect that it was enough to ignore her acting skills, When audiences watch these films, it feels like they're seeing Nicole. Kidman, not Virginia. Woolf, not Diane. Ebers. After these unsuccessful attempts, she returned to the Hollywood commercial film in the past two years, which was largely helpless.
