Starting from the charm of the male protagonist - the continuation of the fairy tale

From the day before yesterday to now, I have revisited this film three or four times off and on, and I especially like those clips where Jack and Melanie couldn't help kissing. It seems that the romance has been stored for a long time, finally breaking through the bondage of each other and embracing their own hearts, releasing the spark that has been hidden for a long time. There are three kisses in the film. One of the deep kisses was selected by the popular American magazine "Teen People" as the "Most Favorite Screen Kiss" of the year. I don't know which one it was. The kiss between Melanie and Jack is the most talked about by the public, and the picture is also the most beautiful, but, I don’t know why I waited too long or something else, my favorite is the uncontrollable kiss next to BEAR’s tombstone, which is also what I think The most sparkling kiss ever. The first time was when Jack couldn't help it, the second time was when Melanie was reluctant to let go... In fact, it can be seen from this that Melanie never forgot the first time she gave her body and mind. ..EX-HUSBAND.

I have to say that I love this film, and the charm of the male protagonist is a big part of the reason. At first, as soon as Gao Shuai Fu appeared, I thought this was the male protagonist, and I was quite disappointed. Later, I didn't like it very much, but there was a lot of goodwill at the wedding, and I was a little embarrassed but not hysterical, very graceful, On the contrary, Melanie punched the man's mother a bit unreasonable. Although the screenwriter seems to be trying to add some laughs to the film, the practice of abandoning his son and punching his mother on the spot is not mature enough in my opinion. Going far, speaking back to the male protagonist, the first time he appeared, he heard his voice, which was not magnetic and low-pitched, but had a very recognizable tone, and then his face was stained with oil or paint from nowhere, holding an unknown voice. Is it a hammer or a hammer... Compared to the tall, handsome and rich man in a straight suit in front of me, I can't help but sigh in my heart: Oh, diaosi... But I changed my mind in less than 5 shots. This fellow has a pair of beautiful blue eyes, squinting slightly when he smiles, the corners of his mouth are particularly beautiful, his nose is tall and handsome, and his profile has no dead ends. If you look closely, you can see that this is a pair of rather delicate facial features, not rough. Partly handsome, well-proportioned. What's even more icing on the cake is that this product is a handsome man with dimples~~~ It's really rare among European and American stars. When such a collocation laughs, the whole person exudes a relaxed, natural, happy and friendly atmosphere. It is not the kind of evil frivolous American SEXY GUY who thinks it is very attractive to women, but... a very positive feeling. . How to describe it? can't tell~~

Overall, this is a relaxed and romantic film with a rustic and romantic atmosphere, and it makes people happy to watch it. In my opinion, the only downside of this film is Melanie's punch at the wedding, and the rest are good. Looking at the film review, it seems that many people are a little strange to the sudden change of Melanie's attitude at the end, and they feel that there are not many places to express the affection of the male protagonist.
The former, if not everyone said that I really did not expect, because in my opinion, there are many foreshadowings in the film that Melanie is unforgettable to Jack. Let's get started! The first time I watched the movie, I felt that the childhood sweetheart at the beginning of the film was a bit cliché, but after watching it again, I found that it was an excellent start to the film. The title of the film, Sweet Home Alabama, implies that this is a theme of searching and finding that the heart is in its place, as one comment said: Sometimes What You're Looking For Is Right Where You Left It. And Melanie's this The strong woman in the design world is in New York City, but she dreams of kissing her childhood hometown for the first time with her childhood sweetheart. What does it mean? It means that the heroine has always placed JAKE in her subconscious, but she just let herself not act, chasing what she thinks she wants. things, including the New York nobleman who was born in a unique personality and appearance. There is also the following clip, after JAKE signed the autograph, she was not happy and shouted and ran back to New York immediately, just as she wanted to do at the beginning - signed the autograph and flew back to get married. Instead, lost, yes, lost, even a little disappointed, but the film's lines are presented to the audience with guilt. But in my opinion, the heroine's mood is not just that. There is also BEAR TOMBSTONE, telling the guilt of BEAR's death and not being around, which has directly highlighted her nostalgia, her pursuit of the past, she still has this childhood pure land of Alabama in her heart, and she belongs to Alabama. Some roots are still there. And unlike what she said herself, she no longer knew her past self at all. The so-called timidity of being close to nostalgia is not hurt because she is not seen; and her active kiss to JAKE is so strong, it is completely a feeling of treating her beloved. Even after being pulled away by JAKE, he was still a little dazed and still unfinished; and when he saw JAKE and the cup prepared for him at the prepared banquet, it was not a thank you, but that kind of complicated nostalgia; and when my mother wore a wedding dress for her , always absent-minded, unable to see the shy joy of a bride who is about to marry a loved one, only to see her constant hesitation, hesitation and loss... as if she was giving up the most precious things and running towards the unknowable The person and the destiny... In summary, the foreshadowing of this pair of connected lovers should be enough, and the discerning person should see who is the soy sauce and who is the real son.
There is also JAKE's deep affection, which is also looming everywhere. They quarreled and scolded each other because they were so familiar with each other that it could be said that they grew up wearing open-crotch pants. It is completely possible to present the most authentic self in front of the other party without concealment. JAKE is not a person who has to say what he does. He is not even a person who insists on getting what he wants. Accept, THAT' S ALL. In particular, the more people who care about her, the less willing they are to force her. He went to New York and came back by himself, and no one told him, because he saw an unfamiliar city, an unfamiliar Melanie (this is a pity, the film was not filmed, only through the mouths of relatives and friends, in fact It'll be more complete.) Knowing this isn't where he's going, and this Melanie, not the girl from Alabama, why drag her back. So he came back silently, he chose to wait, waited for a bet, waited to see if the city girl could finally return to the Alabama childhood sweetheart in his mind, so he never signed. Until Melanie showed up in person, it was also a means of forcing her to show up and face their problems in person! The cold email handover will require him to end their relationship, NO WAY! Melanie's first sentence after she came back was directly shocking to him, which directly led to his indifferent and even confrontational attitude towards Melanie in the later period----he got angry. That sentence made him choose not to say it even if he still loved her in his heart, and even cared about her more than anyone else. Because his wife came coldly to divorce him. He let her make her own choice. Buried the sorrow in my heart. His mother said he was like his father, and when he understood, he said: She made her decision, mam. Mother said, "You care about her so much, but let her go", he paused for a while before saying: I can't control her, like can't control the weather. Gone was the usual utterly happy expression when she said this, in fact, since the signing.
That's it, this pair of people who love each other, one from waiting to hopeless letting go, the other from dazed to finally knowing what they want is by their side.

Perfect story, perfect ending. In fact, for me, who is used to seeing reality, I am afraid that as soon as the film ends, the fairy tale of the two will also end, and then Melanie finds that she still can't bear the prosperity and enjoyment of the city, and finally they leave again. marriage. Fortunately, the director is deeply sympathetic to the audience, which fulfills the continuation of this pair of fairy tales. I have to say that it was the first time for me to tell the audience the follow-up story in such a way at the end of the film. These photos once again deepened the consummation of the story. In the end, it seems that Melanie has not lost her favorite profession. , and also formed the crystallization of love with their beloved, and the family ended their story with a happy family portrait.

In the end, no matter whether the story is cliché or not, the heroine is beautiful enough, the director made such a film with all his heart to gather handsome men, the ending is happy, the audience is moved and happy, and it is rare that there are basically no wrong plots. For those who love European and American romantic movies, it is highly recommended and a must.
