While watching the movie, I glanced at Mrs. Zhao, who was very engaged in the next seat, out of the corner of my eye. In the 90-minute sound and light effect, there was an arbitrary door, as if I was there. My sympathy has always come from "desire", yes, the one in the psychoanalytic term, the desire for the object, for the other. I want to get to know (generally) women. But what about women in general? ! The life of the heroine Pippa has taken a twist. Just like the morning dew and blooming roses, anyone who saw her could not help but be attracted by her fresh breath, and her fortunes also rose and fell.
*Severe spoilers below*
Of course, I have to say what I understand, and by the way bring out the star-studded star of the film: The opening scene of this film reminds me of the high society crowns that Wilde used to mock, and it is also a banquet, elegant and noble The rich wife Pippa. Lee (Robin Letterpan), fed up with her role as the perfect mother giving wife, takes us into a whirlwind of her memories. I think the life of Pippa's maiden cloth (played by Lake Lively) is not so much bizarre or depraved abyss, but rather women's escape after escape in search of their own career and independence, and often escapes Rope, bondage in the name of love. For example, escaping a drug-addicting mother, meeting Aunt Lazi and her lover (Julianne Moore), and then embarking on what she calls a slutty life, where the narrative pivot turns into sexual entanglements with men, in the middle of a wealthy, married publishing After a businessman (Aaron Arkin) gets married, he commits suicide because of his wife (Monica Bellucci), leading to a guilt-filled but seemingly peaceful life.
I think this film is a delicate portrayal of a woman's life, especially like peeling an onion, revealing layer after layer of Pippa's hidden past, those adventures we always thought were only for (male) heroes. But the stereotype is that in Pippa's career as a heterosexual woman, it seems that the way to relief has always been in the man she meets: a wealthy publisher husband, or Keanu Levy on an adventure into the unknown. And her relationships with women are strained and love-hate, including a young poetess (Winona Ryder) who cheated on her husband. But with that said, I feel like I'm cliché, too, can only fried green tomatoes express femininity?
On the way home, I felt that I didn’t write this film review well, maybe because I wanted to pretend to be objective and didn’t really write about my feelings. Tossing and turning in the night, sleepless all night, I remembered one of the main points I made in the movie, probably guilt and cheating. Thirty years of inescapable guilt prompted Pippa to become a "good guy" again. This good person needs to be put in quotation marks, just like Tong Zhenbao in "Red Rose and White Rose", "When I woke up the next day, Zhenbao reformed and became a good person again." Shocked, but she handed over the baton of guilt and was reborn. And what shocked me the most was what the retired publisher Herb said: I cheated because of the fear of death and old age. Sexual life force is just around the corner, competing with death.
The reasons Herb said made me lose sleep. It should be said that all the reasons for cheating made me reflect. Recalling the description of marriage and relationship in the film, Pippa said to the young poetess: Marriage is maintained by will. It's not romantic at all, but it's true. It looks as if Pippa and Chris (Keanu Levy) should be working on a fire, but the old Herb meets his son's girlfriend first. Herb's derailment was so desperate to live at all costs that people felt a little sympathy for him while scolding him. I think this is the most interesting part of this movie. Each character has an unknown past under the surface peace, and after you know it, you may also have some reconciliation with your inner tangle.
If you get your love, you will be sad and not happy.
