In all fairness, it's not surprising that Julian Moore won the new Oscar, compared to Marion Cotillard ("Two Days and One Night"), Rosamund Pike ("Gone Girl") ) and other strong opponents, Moore's biggest advantage is that it complements the character's temperament itself. This does not mean that Moore also suffers from Alzheimer's disease. On the contrary, it is his will and the mentality of grasping the role. Ingratiating characters (one of the jokes about this year's Oscar winner is that the patient wins) are more compelling within a given narrative track.
A daily reminder in "Still Alice" is quite similar to the previous two American films "Before I Go To Sleep" and "50 First Loves", the difference is that those two films have a strong In hindsight, the color is bright, and "Still Alice" shows the whole process of the disappearance of the memory of the protagonist Alice. Under the operation of commercialization, the focus is on showing the remedy under the paradox, and in this film, the powerlessness behind the self-replenishment is the focus.
This is also one of the few ways to come out on the same topic. It is almost impossible to test how many jewels are in the movie on the topic of amnesia, and "Still Alice" plays a card about "myself", from beginning to end, Alice is not passive, her strong woman personality supports her to constantly resist the worsening reality, find herself and live for the moment. The original soundtrack of this film is very exciting. The sound of the violin starts out stubbornly through the piano playing with a lake-like texture, and then gradually becomes disorganized. It is the last touch of Alice's fading memory and grasping efforts. Julian Moore's three major film festival actress titles are not worthless. As mentioned above, although in this film, the character design is a bit of a coincidence in terms of awards, but it is undeniable that she hides in silence and publicity. This is also the best interpretation of tragedy in film performances. Any melodrama style can only move people in an instant, and the accumulation of deep and thin hair that sneaks into the characters is even more memorable. This is also a significant difference between American independent production and Hollywood. Julian Moore, who has participated in various films, is obviously familiar with it. Alice has changed from a strong woman to a "aphasic" housewife. Although she played in Moore, she did not A large span to compare, but the gradual process is clearly visible, and this itself is also the asymptote of life, to a certain extent, it is realism, and it is also a kind of dream based on the movie. Two-way recognition.
In the cast, the supporting green leaves also include Alec Bald and others. In "Still Alice", which stands out without any suspense, witnesses the whole process of Alice from sober to deep in the quagmire. These characters are Alice's passers-by. , is also the person she tries hard not to forget, and this is not a turbulent rivalry, just a calm gaze, conveying another meaning of "living in the moment" inside and outside the play: when you don't have the capital of the game life , that tries to get the game to the end. For one of the film's directors, Richard Glazer, who just passed away this year, this seems like a fateful footnote.
