Love at first sight is probably not so rare. Eyes roll, some people and things, and subtle movements are also in the heart, when I smell it lightly, I always feel like the orange leaves that have been crushed in summer - fresh, but with a hint of astringency, not as sweet as orange juice, but lingering. With the fragrance it should have. Love is like orange juice. Too thirsty to drink, inevitably fierce, easy to get angry.
It needs to be chilled.
What is a charming love? The drama of life and death always makes people feel that there is a kind of eight o'clock flavor that is constantly cut. You have already experienced it, so do you need someone to tell you again? Generally speaking, a charming love may be a story that is broken, broken, and can be continued again and become better.
The forced separation and the re-encounter, good or bad, can only be seen at this moment, at that moment, the goddess of fate gently fluttering.
Fascinating love stories inevitably have one theme - reunion.
To meet again means that they have already met, and it also includes that they have been separated.
Carol, a love story that took place in the 1950s like driving in the rain and full of water vapor. The film took 118 minutes to portray an elegant love. how to fall in love at first sight gracefully, how to flirt and flirt gracefully, how to invite home gracefully, how to tempt gracefully, how to kiss a girl gracefully and have sex with her, how to break up and leave gracefully, how to divorce gracefully, how to Recompose gracefully. Carroll shoulders the elegance of an era, this film is not just about the love between two women, but more like a love letter from the early 2000s to the 1950s that spans time and space .
A set of sequences at the beginning of the film, fixed on a manhole cover, and then slowly began to shake up, the legs of countless pedestrians coming out of the subway station, the streets in the evening, the camera moved up again, the upper body of the moving crowd. A man in the aisle, walks to the center of the shot, we watch him pass the road, the yellow taxi, the mist rising from the manhole cover. In a minute or two, Todd Hines clearly outlined the age and time of the whole story, that is, New York in the late winter and early spring of the fifties, the beginning of a tribute to Hitchcock's North by Northwest.
Then it cuts to the scene where Carol and Therese are interrupted by a man chatting. Therese's astonished reaction, Carroll's slight dissatisfaction, and gracefully declining the invitation, both left some questions for the audience. But when the story ends, we suddenly find out that the scene at the beginning was their reunion after a long absence, and the director shot the scene from a different angle.
Therese was taken away by a friend's car and looked out the window, at the same time she looked at their original origin. And if you are fortunate enough to watch this movie in the cinema, you can see that because the director used film to shoot, he deliberately kept the graininess and greenish-yellow tone of the film, which makes people feel a kind of emotion from the color of the picture. Or a sense of memory.
The most interesting part of this movie is the roles of the supporting actors. It would be hard to show the uniqueness of these two women without their foil. Therese's boyfriend who appeared first, although he thought he loved Therese, actually just wanted to get married and meet his parents. As for Carroll's husband, he was jealous many times, either asking Carroll to do various things, or looking for Carroll everywhere, or simply asking a private detective to follow him. In several descriptions, you can clearly feel that he I don't know how to provide Carol with the love or life she wants, just love her in her own way. So, explained, Abby would tell Harge that she couldn't help him. Such love is nothing but kidnapping. And these two men tacitly reached the role of "kidnapping" in their respective love relationships, which is probably a common historical problem in American society where machismo is prevalent.
Speaking of the love of the two heroines. Probably a love affair does not need a lot of foreshadowing. If there is some kind of "perception" of each other at first sight, it is already a "horn" sound of the future. It just needs to be confirmed step by step. So, Carroll is not a story about a love game, but rather a verification-type story. Both sides are verifying each other's inner perception little by little. Therefore, only Carol's constant approach, and Therese's non-rejection from beginning to end.
How do you refuse, the trace of awareness that is pulling you in your heart?
And it is this perception that allows Carol, at the end of the story, to give up the custody of her daughter who has been obsessed with it without hesitation, and choose her own nature. It was the same perception that made Therese run away from the party to go to another Carol who was waiting for the same perception.
So, in this way, in the last scene of the movie, we followed the hand-held camera and experienced the two heroines' gently swaying eyes to meet again in anticipation.
An elegant and charming love story.
