The film begins with a press conference by the protagonist Quito. For a director with all his talents, the applause of the previous works is in sharp contrast with the scolding of the recent works. He wanted to make a beautiful turnaround in the ninth movie, but was unable to write the script, and he smiled peacefully in the face of the relentless reporter to cover up his inner panic. The portrayal of him in the whole film lies in the line he sings solo, "I'm almost fifty, but my mental age is still nine." , everything is just because he wants, but he has no sense of responsibility. Yes, he hasn't grown up yet, and whenever he is exhausted, he always imagines that his mother is patiently listening to him by his side, even though he has reached the age of destiny. But what the film wants to express is not to urge the man to mature. As Lily says near the end of the film, "Quido, if you're not a kid anymore, you can't make good movies anymore."
Cara, the lover, comes out in a provocative dance. When she received a call from Quito, she left her husband and came to him, but she had to be left alone in a small hotel to endure loneliness, because Quito did not want her to show her face. The conflict with his wife, Luisa, was not what she wanted, but Quito's anger almost sent her to the grave. She loved Quito very much, she gave him everything she had, but what she fell in love with was only a man who only loved himself. And this poor woman hadn't figured out until she tried to commit suicide, whether it was worth it for her to sacrifice her life for Quido's brief stay.
Wife Louisa, a typical virtuous and virtuous image. She was an actress in a Quito movie before. After she got married, she presided over the housework and never acted again. Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard interprets it very well. She repeatedly forbears and finally breaks out. Those subtle changes in expression finally find that what she has always thought special is just Quido's usual routine of flattering women, using an angry Take It All ends. Compared with the grievances expressed by My Husband Makes Movie, it highlights the tension of the characters. During the interview, she was just an unworldly waitress. When Quito put down her hair, she bowed her head, and the shyness of the girl was written all over her face. When she left, she wiped the tears from both cheeks at once, and the back of Jujue was heartbreaking.
The goddess Claudia is played by Nicole Kidman, and her beautiful face and sexy body are a picture whenever she appears. She was popular with Kuido, and she also had an inexplicable affection for him, but she was able to control herself rationally. She knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to cherish herself; she loves Quito, but she can maintain her noble attitude in love; she is sober and never loses herself for him. Quito said, "Every time I fell in love with you." She replied, "When there were cameras between us?" Quito said, "I wanted to come up and knock on your door." She smiled: " But why not?" By the fountain, she removed her wig and earrings and said to Quido, "This is the real me." She bid him farewell with her true self, not burdened by those ambiguous feelings.
The mother is a figurative symbol that Quito cannot fully map. Men have some Oedipus complex in childhood, especially here in Quito.
The enlightener Sara Gina is very much like Malena in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", collecting money to dance a sand dance in her chest. To be proud in life, you must be full of joy, and there are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded. Sexy and beautiful.
Journalist Stephanie is a huge fan of Quito, and her love of Quito's Italian films is like a groupie. A piece of Cinema Italiano is full of energy, and some are just a longing for idols.
Costume designer Lily always accompanies Quido, both mother and friend. She is his confidant, has been helping him support and encourage him, and has also helped him build a bridge to reconcile with his ex-wife.
To say that the ninth film of Quito at the end is about a husband's story of saving his wife. Originally, the movie could be finished here. Quito sat on the director's stage with a boy who symbolized his psychological age in his arms. The appearance of ex-wife Louisa makes people feel that it is better not to do it at this time.
Nine, the gorgeous age. What is behind the gorgeousness, it is better to say that the director spent two hours trying to create a village of willows and flowers, but in the end it is the naked emptiness of the protagonist. Just like the curtain that Quito tore off, like the dark stage background. All that shines are the seven women around him, walking out one by one in the gorgeous set, making their perfect appearance with smiles.
