make it beautiful in film

As someone who was born in '89, Kevin Costner seems to be far away from me. Although "Bodyguard" is one of the movies that I have read over and over again when I have nothing to do, but when it first came out, I was just a three-year-old child crawling on the ground. But this is the so-called classic charm. Most of my favorite movies now are from the 1980s and 1990s. It's a pity that I didn't mature enough to feel my surroundings during that time. I think people in that era should still be very simple. It can still be called "between people". It is said that modern people are inexplicably nostalgic, and it is estimated that there is a reason.
"Bodyguard" has a strong 90s blockbuster charm. The deep male protagonist is masculine and unrestrained, which is the biggest characteristic. Seemingly unsmiling, but in fact elegant and affectionate; sturdy skills are just a disguise of tenderness. Danced with wolves, melancholy in a letter in a bottle, and left alone in a future water world, Kevin Costner seems to be a symbol of the genre in this era. Personally, I think there is a lack of such a type of actor among the current male actors.
In this film, Whitney Houston, who was first in the film industry, can be described as "brilliant" in this film (also dipped in the light of those gorgeous dresses and jewelry). There is a bit of true character, but it also interprets the worry for the mother and the wild cuteness for the woman very well. The addition of Whitney completes the entertainment element of the film. Fashion and pop music clearly neutralize Kevin Costner's toughness, and in the end, the film is unisex.
The main line of love between iron-blooded bodyguards and pop singers, I take it for granted that the rush and hesitation when faced with love. First of all, mature men and women, both of whom are in their thirties (or later), have both experienced the pain of a broken chrysalis in love, and both have a certain level of understanding of life, mission and even destiny. Obviously, there will be no Rose like that The urge to "get off the boat and I'll go with you". In the face of family, career and even society, they already have a better understanding of the word responsibility, and it will be more realistic. RACHEL exposed her self-righteous and self-willed ills at the beginning, but her behavior in the face of threats to her later showed her dedication to her career. This obsession is obviously a double-edged sword. The reason for her separation from Flegga's father is not explained in the film. But as us in real life, as far as we can imagine, apply the news in the tabloids on the streets and alleys. Perseverance, but for a certain purpose, it may become the executioner who sacrifices the other. Sometimes, she revealed her feelings to Frank, but she was just a "single woman with an eight-year-old child." In a blink of an eye, she said to Frank, who was full of grass and trees in the limousine, "When it should end, it will end." This fickle And the wayward and lovely woman, will it really be Frank's goddess? But don't guess too much, watch movies, and try to regard RACHEL as a woman who is eager to love. That's all.
The beginning of the film is Frank on a mission, so I think the main struggle to show in this love story is Frank. RACHEL's straightforwardness also confirms this. The character of FRANK is a bit of a psychodrama. Not suitable for long-term tasks, otherwise your feet will fall asleep. Obviously, this is destined to be the image of a prodigal son wandering in the rivers and lakes, but it is not the underworld road, but the life-saving messenger. The protection target was stabbed because of participating in his mother's funeral, which led to the outbreak of FRANK's emotional and intellectual struggle, and only after that did he face the psychological struggle between love and clients. Frank said that after years of training, he became a top bodyguard, but he didn't expect the power of emotion to be soft, not to mention love. Of course, we didn't know this until Frank's father told RACHEL. Why Frank was so paranoid about work was a little suspense. At this time, it also opened a door for RACHEL to walk into Frank's heart. . Perhaps it is the inherent weakness of women, and no matter how stubborn a woman is, she will not turn away a flower guardian, otherwise she will regret it. A stern and agile appearance is actually a sensitive and delicate heart. I personally think that apart from beating the kitchen buddy a little violently after being provoked by RACHLE, the role of FRANK basically represents the Hollywood style of that era. Daquan", the final elegance of the male protagonist - the tenderness of a tough guy, has reached the pinnacle of his interpretation.
From the plot point of view, who is the main messenger behind the death threat, I guessed right at the beginning, but I just thought that the little fan who looked a little wretched was the main messenger's pawn, but it was not. Behind the seemingly gentleness and help, the family affection of the same song is no match for jealousy and injustice. People are just people. Maybe as long as RACHEL is more caring and considerate of her sister's feelings, maybe everything can disappear. But people are just people.
I always like to find contrasting opposites in the same film. Here, it is like the love of fat bodyguards and little fans for Rachel, like the care of unscrupulous managers and Frank for RACHEL, like Frank and the murderer Bowman...
As a classic, there must be handed down pictures and bridges. The nightclub scene is like a small concert tailored for Whitney. Outbursts of music and perilous atmosphere mix into a tense duo. When the crisis happened, the middle shot of Frank hugging RACHEL in the chaos, as if the surroundings were gone. DON'T BE AFRAID, I'LL PROTECT YOU...heart is throbbing.
As for what happened to them after everyone is guessing, I don't think about it. Just like what would happen if JACK and ROSE survived. After watching so many movies, I feel that sometimes, love is beautiful because it is fleeting, because people have so many beautiful longings for the things that have just begun, and it is precisely without the following that will not let this happen. A vision shattered. Because no news is good news, do you prefer to always reminisce about the good news than the news that the third child and Jingqiu are living their lives in reality? So I'd rather make it beautiful on film.
