In fact, this is a simple story that cannot be simpler. Phyllis Nagy has almost deleted a lot of side characters and plots in the original work, and only kept the core content in her script, while I actually The movie I saw is more concise than the script (the timeline of the script is a bit tricky), to use the words of Sister Rooney, it is pure and simple. But it's such a simple story that made me read it six times over and over again!
I still clearly remember the first time I watched it, when the queen trembled and announced I want it and I will not deny it in front of the lawyers and her husband, I felt like I was shaking. By the end of the movie, I was sitting in my seat, breathing heavily, feeling as if I had been sucked into an extremely captivating black hole, suspended at the intersection of the horizons of reality and story, reluctant for a long time to escape the gravity of the story and return to reality.
So the next day in order to find out what made me so freaked out, I tried to stay calm and watched it a second time, this time I put my perspective on Therese, and then I finally realized, because I saw in Therese that deja vu from many years ago yourself!
People who see a crush will blush and heartbeat; choose gifts carefully to make each other happy; look forward to traveling with the goddess; take a picture of her quietly and hide it at the bottom of the box. . . Crying for her, laughing for her, even holding on to the blind receiver for a long time and reluctant to put it down. . .
Frankly speaking, all these stupid things I have done have been exiled in my memory, and I am unwilling to remember and unable to recall them. So I didn't pay attention to Therese when I watched it for the first time. After all, Carol is the focus of the movie, and there are not many people who can avoid Kate's electric eye when watching it for the first time, so I ignored Therese, the most real one. exist. So the second time I watched it, I cried instead.
When Therese finally said No to Carol, I could at least empathize with her, how heart-wrenching this cautious self-defense was. Everyone has their own natural immune system, but unfortunately we will never be immune to the person we love deeply, so in this world, the only person who can really hurt us is the person we love the most. Writing here reminds me of Damien Rice's lyrics: give my gun away when it's loaded, if you say yes easily, Therese needs to drop all defenses to face Carol, if Carol hurts her again, she will be shot to the ground, So even though Therese said yes in her heart, but in the end she could only spit out a No.
I wanted to talk about movies. . . Accidentally crooked the building. Forgive me I haven't written a serious article for about ten years. hehe. The landlord below wants to talk about some details in the movie (the landlord who is not a Virgo finally wants to talk about the details).
Case 1: Little White Rabbit was given a Christmas hat at work. Almost all the employees wore it, but she was reluctant to put it on until she was urged by the manager to press it on her head reluctantly. It can be seen that Therese is a very assertive girl, but she is out of tune with the real situation, but when Carol expressed her love for this hat, our little white rabbit did not reluctantly take it off until the bell rang. (I'm afraid they are all worn during lunch break). hehe! !
Case 2
Carol booked a standard room during the trip, but our little white rabbit took the initiative to request a presidential suite. The price was very attractive, but looking at her demented expression at that time, it was like saying that Carol is very attractive, I really want to eat her tofu (forgive the landlord's own complaints)
Case 3
The two had dinner during the trip. The queen couldn't remember the room number, but the little white rabbit remembered it instantly, feeling that this is the special skill of a person in love, as long as it is related to a lover, everything can be recited. After that, the queen specially gave a commendation expression, that sweet! In fact, there are some deleted plots after this episode, but the plot of sending gifts to others to show the kindness of the little white rabbit is really unnecessary (Rooney's innocent eyes really don't need this kind of plot to support So I deleted it) In
Case 4
love scenes, the queen originally had a line in the script to say sorry (I’m sorry, I want XXOO you), but the movie deleted this line, and then the little white rabbit took the initiative to ask The queen took herself to the bed, took the initiative to lie down, and also took the initiative to prevent the queen from turning off the lights and expressing her desire to see the queen's naked body. . . . This is the first time that Little White Rabbit can turn passive into active. I don't think I want to see the queen's body all day long, and I definitely don't have the courage to be so brave and generous for the first time. Of course, I personally prefer the more equal relationship between the two in the movie. The class, money and other tacky things in the original book have all been downplayed (probably only the class gap can be seen through the clothes)
Case 5 The part where the
little white rabbit knelt on the grass and vomited, I really want to complain about the pregnancy reaction! ! ! On second thought, the little white rabbit may have been motion sickness, but because Carol usually drives, he won't get dizzy, and when he is replaced by a nasty rival in love, his stomach will be turned upside down, and he is not far from death. (The landlord has had relevant experience, sitting with the person you like will not be dizzy except when you feel dizzy)
Below are some details about the queen (because I turned my attention on the third, fourth, and fifth times Back to the Queen)
Case 6
wanted to talk about the Queen's gloves, and after a closer look, I found that the Queen still wore these gloves during her subsequent trips. Forgot it? I think there is a 99% chance that the Queen definitely did it on purpose! She was very scheming to use this pair of gloves to catch our little white rabbit.
Case 7
The Queen was late for her first date with Little White Rabbit. In the movie, you can see that she trotted to the restaurant. Comrades, in the 1950s, when a Lady dressed like this ran on the street, people who didn't know would think that The family is dead, which shows how much the Queen pays attention to this date!
When the Queen of Case 8
and the little white rabbit were in close contact with the little white rabbit for the first time, her nervous palms were sweaty. She calmly wiped a handful of her clothes first, and then touched the little white rabbit who was playing the piano. And then she ran out of the living room with her shoes to meet her husband, as if she had been caught raped. (I hope I didn't over-interpret the queen's body language)
Case 9
Before the queen kisses the little white rabbit, in the script, she actually started to brush her hair with a comb, but in the movie, it turns into the queen who directly brushes her hair with her hands. Personally I feel that the film has been changed to be more in line with the expression of desire. Of course, there is another important point that the Queen's hand is really home travel, a must for picking up girls! ! ! The little white rabbit played the piano, she put her hand on the other person's shoulder, the little white rabbit combed her hair and the queen wanted to XXOO and put her hand on the other person's shoulder, and finally the little white rabbit refused to live together. . . . I feel that the queen is well versed in the essence of hooking one's shoulders! ! !
Case 10
When the little white rabbit cried and said that he harmed the queen because of his ignorance, the queen's domineering reply really blinded my eyes! She said: I took what you gave willingly!
The subtext of this sentence is that you and I are definitely not rejected because you are young and ignorant, or I seduce you, you and I are XXOO because you know what you want and you clearly understand that you love me!
Is this a comforting word? I think this sentence can be written into an emotional intelligence textbook!
The part of Case 11
's little white rabbit calling the queen is quite touching, but I noticed that the queen's fingers were not painted with nail polish at this time! Just imagine that she loves beauty so much, pays attention to appearance, and is careful in everything (even taking off her earrings when making a phone call), a person like her has no nail polish! This shows how bad her life was back then! I feel bad for the little white rabbit, and I feel bad for the queen even more!
Finally, I'm going to watch it again tomorrow. I'm stuck in this movie and can't get out. It's like the kind of crash like a school girl accused by the little white rabbit boyfriend. Whether it is in reality or in movies, it is very difficult for LGBT to get a GOOD ENDING. In my opinion, it is a good ending to have a decent job like in a single man and then die alone, so facing such a movie How can a movie as beautiful as a fairy tale not let people put it down?
PS The landlord has not written a coherent sentence in Chinese for many years. Please forgive me for the incoherence.
