I wanted to cry but didn't cry

Before watching this movie, I was ready to cry, and there were two or three tears that were about to come out, but in the end I couldn't cry.

I like this script very much. Although it is a very sad story, it doesn't have too many emotional plots, and the personalities of each main character are very real. But the rhythm of the movie is really not smooth. The director just strung together each scene in chronological order. It was too straightforward and had no storytelling skills at all. There are many touching moments in the movie, but because the rhythm of the story is too flat, the audience cannot be moved by the story to the greatest extent. Every time I am moved by Moore's performance, the film has already switched to the next chapter.

Moore's performance is the highlight of the film, you can clearly see the five stages of emotional changes in the face of the disease: Denial-Anger-Bargaining-Depression-Accepetance There is not much to say, she is worthy of an Oscar nomination.

Kristen Stewart plays the youngest daughter of the heroine in the movie. She has the most rivalry with her mother among the three children. From her role, you can see that she is the most individual of the three children. Holding her life hostage, she wants to chase her dreams, but when her mother is seriously ill, she takes the initiative to move in to take care of her. There are many dramas and conflicts in this role and many layers. I always thought KS had acting skills. She performed well in the cake eaters in the early years. Many people say that she performed well this time, but I think the image of her daughter is not three-dimensional enough, and the contradictory personality of her daughter who is both rebellious and warm is not clear enough. I didn't mean to black her, but she could be better.

Plus, Kate Bosworth is so beautiful in the movie! ! Although the role is small, the image is very clear.

In short, the lackluster narrative can't overshadow the brilliance of the excellent performance, the movie is still worth watching, Samsung recommends.

    At the end of the film, the daughter reads the monologue of her character in the script to her mother, and those sentences are just musical notes for the amnesiac mother, and lose their meaning. The daughter asked her mother, "What does this show mean?" The mother said with difficulty, "Love." ——Aunt Moore said that the perception and love of life penetrated into the depths of the soul little by little. learning the art of losing.

    Moore's performance adds appeal to an otherwise bland film~

Still Alice quotes

  • Dr. Alice Howland: I used to be someone who knew a lot. No one asks for my opinion or advice anymore. I miss that. I used to be curious and independent and confident. I miss being sure of things. There's no peace in being unsure of everything all the time. I miss doing everything easily. I miss being a part of what's happening. I miss feeling wanted. I miss my life and my family.

  • Dr. Alice Howland: You may say that this falls into the great academic tradition of knowing more and more about less and less until we know everything about nothing.
