Devilish plot, angelic singing

A popular Irish fairy tale that has been adapted by the director into a vulgar modern myth.

Colin Farrell is still half-dead, with a decadent face that reminds me of Brad Pitt's outfit in "The Burning Years" a few years ago. However, at that time, Pete was invincible in his youth. After the decadence, he was still full of vigor. Now Farrell is only decadent. He can only wait for a fairy with a prosperous husband to save him. The poisonous girl of the third world. The poisonous female supporting cast is decadent, but Yemen is right. Does it fit the world view of director Neil Jordan: edge to edge, bottom to bottom?

However, this poisonous girl was portrayed by the director in a variety of styles. As a male viewer, I certainly wouldn't object to the proper representation of the female body in the film, which seems to be one of the elements of a commercial film. However, I am adamantly opposed to meaningless presentations, and even more so against poor presentations. The so-called meaningless, it is displayed for the sake of display, not a three-level film! This kind of display is like the product placement in some of Feng Xiaogang's movies, not only not beautiful, but also very idiotic. The so-called clumsy means that the method is wrong, the result is counterproductive, and beauty eventually becomes its opposite.

In this film, the director takes great pains to show the female body, there is no suitable plot to show, even if inappropriate plots are created. For example, the poisonous girl helped the decadent man catch a lot of lobsters. Well, I will reward you and take you to buy clothes. As a result, one after another takes off and wears one after another. Finally, I found an opportunity!

Even more paradoxically, there is a scene where the poisonous girl is swimming in the sea wearing a skirt, when the decadent man's young daughter calls her up on the shore. So, she came up... I can imagine.... Wet skirt.... Fitting.... One can imagine.... Exquisite curves.... Concave and convex... The question is, what are you doing to that little girl? Ah, she's not James Bond!

There is also a paragraph, the decadent man and the poisonous woman are on the bed, wrong, on the boat. The poisonous girl was afraid of seeing strangers, but at this time, there were strangers on another boat. The poisonous girl ran into the cabin to hide from them, and accidentally fell in the cabin. The boat was a little bumpy, and the decadent man asked the poisonous girl to control the rudder. ...the poisonous girl is lying on the board of the boat...she can't get up at all...just stretch out her legs....put her feet on the rudder...master the rudder.... undeniably, the legs are very good...so give A close-up...but, next...the cup.... In fact, isn't it just to show the curve of the legs, the heroine put her feet on the rudder lightly to show the curve, but... The heroine is very dedicated and serious... She really raised her feet and turned the rudder hard, so the cup was finally born... The original curved legs became as thick as up and down when she tried hard... But see... the decadent man in the depths of the camera Just staring at this thick object up and down, at a loss...
just like this, the devil figure finally turned into a devil plot...

Therefore, the biggest highlight of the whole film is the soundtrack, which contains my favorite Icelandic post-rock The voice of the singer Sigur Ros. I searched the Internet for the soundtrack of this movie, but unfortunately I can't download it anywhere. If anyone is fortunate enough to see the soundtrack CD of this movie, it is really a big prize, please win it decisively. Except for Sigur Ros, as an Irish film, most of the original soundtrack is Irish music. Maybe many people are not familiar with Irish music. In short, U2, Enya, Sinead O'Connor, The Cranberries are all from Ireland.
Therefore, Ireland has music, there is really nothing to say.
Like an angel singing.
