I remember when I was very young, I knew about the existence of Sherlock Holmes earlier than when Conan was broadcast in 1997, and I had an inexplicable yearning for Britain, London, Fog City, and gentleman private detectives. I always feel that many cultures are connected. In ancient China, there were poems such as "If you want to talk, then you will stop" and "If you want to talk, you will cry first." Japanese culture is also self-explanatory. "Love Letter" is to "How are you? I am very Good." A sentence runs through and tells about a young love. It is probably because of a kind of obscurity in the culture that similar emotions can be understood. So I understand that facing Erin Adler Holmes is enough to like her, but it is the nature of the British gentleman who has forbearance that makes everything in my heart, so that I will always use "the woman" in the future. call her. Ang Lee not only understands this kind of culture, but also understands this kind of emotion, so he was able to express this common emotion of human beings across the boundaries of Chinese and Western cultures and across the distance of two hundred years, and it can still resonate with us even now.
The success of the film, in addition to Ang Lee's director, is also attributed to the screenwriter and the heroine Emma Thompson. She is a woman of peerless elegance, with enough talent and sharp judgment to cut down and adapt the entire novel into a film of less than two hours, and at the age of 36, she played the 19-year-old sister Elinor of 1 Girl Sister Flower. In her first scene, Ang Lee shouted to her, "Can you be younger?" It became a joke. Thinking of an article I read two days ago, it probably means that the years have not left many traces on the beauties. One is that Xiao Qiang and Liu Xiaoqing still appear on the screen with their beautiful faces. Older women are younger than their beauty; on the contrary, with the growth of age like Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia, or choose to marry and teach children, or choose to write, and gradually retire, the most beautiful years will remain in the audience's impression forever. . I have no intention of commenting on the lifestyles of the two beauties, but Thompson combined the two to the extreme, and it was this film that won the Oscar for Best Screenplay in one fell swoop.
Another heroine, Kate Winslet, is a well-known role, and became a well-known movie star with the role of Rose in "Titanic" filmed in 1997. At that time in 1995, she could no longer hide her agility and vigor. She played the piano and sang with her soft temperament. She had a clear love and hatred towards relationships and was frank and persistent. She was lively and active and liked to run wild and like to get wet in rainy days. The inner rebellion is vividly interpreted, a typical example that is completely opposite to the image of the British lady in the 18th century at that time. I think Spielberg must have seen this movie when she was cast.
Hugh Grant is a standard Englishman born in London. He grew up in London and graduated from Oxford University, majoring in English literature. Growing up in a pampered environment, he naturally exudes the unique elegance of a British gentleman in appearance and temperament. Therefore, the role of Edward, a noble young man, can be regarded as a true character. Probably all the nympho like me will be bright at the first sight of him, and exclaimed "big handsome guy~". Those who have seen it should know that the male protagonist played a little trick, and the final confession made such a feeling of wanting to love but not wanting to be loved just right. I'm not against black belly in love, whether it's a man or a woman, it's not a bad thing as a life adjustment, but if it becomes the main theme of life, I still have reservations.
Selfishly put the most loving Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman to the end. Who said I like old man silver! Who said I was the uncle control! Let me tell you, I am not only the uncle control, but also the Zhengtai control, the loli control, the royal sister control, the festival control (which seems to have something to do with this wood) control everything that is controllable. Rickman is also playing an old man who is as affectionate as Severus Snape in "Harry Potter", forbearance of love ~ silent protection ~ sure enough, he has always been suitable for this kind of role ~ ahem, let's get down to business, Rickman uses facial expressions And body language maturely expounds Colonel Brandon's inner entanglement: the first time I saw Marianne, when I was attracted by her piano and singing, I looked at her expression; He stopped, weighed the struggle in his heart and finally decided to leave; when Marianne, who was in the rain in the grassland, was retrieved and handed over to her family, there was concern in her panting eyes; she was pacing outside the door for Marianne. Annoyed by the powerlessness of her illness, the relieved look on Marianne's heart when she finally woke up, and the gentle expression of sitting next to Marianne reciting a poem softly, even if she finally married Marianne, she still smiled faintly, but she still couldn't see the happiness on her face. I'm in a high mood~ Those deep and shallow are all love, love for Marianne, love for the role she played, and love for happiness in the final ending.
As Rickman once said, "You can show your heart in a performance, or you can lie. You can reveal your heart, or you can cover it up. So, the audience recognizes something in themselves, or not - you don't Would want them to leave the theater thinking, 'Not bad...where's the cab?'". A good movie can recognize some things in itself, or not, but some of those are some of our life experiences, and some of them are our own choices.
I remember when I came out of the movie theater with my friend Axin, and I said that the supporting actors are all so handsome, and she finally couldn't help shouting, "You always like the second man!" Yes, in "Flowers and Water Wood" Kitami-senpai, Aslan in "Gundam Seed", Gale in "The Hunger Games"... About gentle people, maybe I will continue to like it in the future.
In that year, Thompson had not yet become McPhee, the magical nanny most feared by children, but a sensible lady in Europe in the 18th world; Winslet had not yet become a rose on the Titanic, but just ran recklessly on the grass. The young girl; Grant has not yet had bad relations with all kinds of scandal media, just a little shy and poor expression of the noble boy; Rickman has not yet become the black magic Snape teacher of the Magic Academy, just an elegant and forbearing gentleman in the English countryside .
That year, the sun was just right, and you were all still young.
