Carroll

About Lily CP's recent hit film, Queen Kate has won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for this film. How to say, the picture of the movie is beautiful, the background music is addicting, the color of the whole movie is shrouded in an old-fashioned mood, and the elegance, laziness and restraint of women in the 1950s are vividly displayed, but it is still difficult to hide. The plot has a capital "embarrassment" from beginning to end.
Carol, played by the Queen, is full of aggressiveness. From her sharp eyes to her flirtatious words, she has played a strong attacking role. The barrage has always been floating with the evaluation of "sister seduction master", and frankly, I don't think this is a compliment. Intimacy after falling in love at first sight, the queen played the strong style too much, so that the development of the two people's feelings was so fast that they lacked the necessary connection. Of course, this is also due to Rooney's confused little white rabbit temperament from beginning to end, inexplicably catering to, inexplicable decision, inexplicable to the point that she may not even know what this love is.

Returning to the reality level, Carroll is entangled in the divorce lawsuit over the custody of her daughter, on the one hand, she can't wait to bend Rooney, and then she will give up in the expected chaos. Rooney's first home visit played the role of serving tea and pouring water, and it was destined that the two people's contributions would be very different after all, including Rooney's real identity as Cinderella and Carol's role as a lady.
Rooney's admiration for the Queen is more or less out of love, and more or less out of admiration. In this emotional game, she is the weak and the chosen object after all. Including facing the ex-girlfriend of Carol's childhood sweetheart, she is not even qualified to be dissatisfied. Her love is too humble in this relationship, and until the end of the movie, when she looks back to Carol, it's actually a state of being determined. Can a relationship like this really last?

To be honest, I don't really like this story. Although the director wanted to express this female-female love in a very delicate way, including the road trip that deepened the relationship but actually developed an inexplicable road trip, the two slept in separate rooms for three or four nights in a row, ambiguous and embarrassing, deliberately almost hypocritical. It wasn't until I finally rolled the sheets that I felt a little bit of love. Some things are too much.
A lot of people are saying that Rooney looks exactly like Hepburn. Well, forgive me for always being indifferent to Hepburn's beauty. This may not have been my thing, and I have no idea about this too passive and humble Cinderella character. Dancing.

Every person who can be bent has the potential to bend in the bottom of his heart. Some people live a peaceful life like this. Love to marriage is the safe mode of life after all, while some people are destined to experience different possibilities. Perhaps, whether you are bent or not depends only on whether you have met that specific person who can stimulate your potential.
It's hard to say how lucky you are. For me, no matter what gender you are in love with, the luckiest thing may always be that at this moment, the person you love happens to love you too. This is enough.

Carol quotes

  • Carol Aird: Dearest. There are no accidents and he would have found us one way or another. Everything comes full circle. Be grateful it was sooner rather than later. You'll think it harsh of me to say so, but no explanation I offer will satisfy you. Please don't be angry when I tell you that you seek resolutions and explanations because you're young. But you will understand this one day. And when it happens, I want you to imagine me there to greet you, our lives stretched out ahead of us, a perpetual sunrise. But until then, there must be no contact between us. I have much to do, and you, my darling, even more. Please believe that I would do anything to see you happy. So, I do the only thing I can... I release you.

    [Letter from Carol to Therese, heard in Carol's voice]

  • Carol Aird: [addressing Harge] So that's the deal. I won't, I cannot negotiate anymore. You take it or leave it. But if you leave it, we go to court. And if we go to court... it'll get ugly.

    [holding back tears]

    Carol Aird: And we're not ugly people, Harge.
