Ups and downs Wicked

When I saw the word Wicked at the beginning of the film, I was looking forward to a horror movie. After seeing the face and mouth of the male protagonist's fiancée resembling Anne Hathaway, I looked forward to the appearance of horror elements for a long time. When I fell in love with sleeping pills and fell on the hotel bed to start my memories, I began to expect this to be a light psychological horror film. When Lisa who looks exactly like Natalie Portman appeared, I finally gave up seeing horror. The desire for the camera is honestly ready to accept the baptism of literary films. I don't understand at all that the actor bumping into the face is to boost the box office? But it's also possible that I'm face-blind.
The plot has twists and turns, but I don't understand Alex's infatuation very well. Since love at first sight has been missed, why should I use lies to make myself embarrassed. If we want to continue with the setting of such an infatuated woman, Alex's apology to Lisa at the end is too abrupt. And after the male protagonist and Alex went to bed, he blamed the apartment for "Wicked", full of Lisa's breath, which was really disgusting. Think about it, there is a fiancee (but she has decided to find her true love, Lisa, so she can ignore it), and her true love, Lisa, slept with another unrelated but "same name" because of a wicked apartment. Brother, is your point wrong? !
Overall, it's quite exciting, and some flashbacks are handled in a way that makes people dance (such as the flashback in Alex's car). In addition, I feel that only the male protagonist did a good flashback when he first appeared on the scene. Later, it seemed that there were too many flashbacks and the director was too tired to do delicate flashbacks. I have to say that it really affects the look and feel.
It is important to point out that the soundtrack at the end is highly praised. The Scientist I played made me shake it off all the grooves~

Wicker Park quotes

  • [Alex films Lisa with her new video camera]

    Lisa: Come on, let me film you.

    Alex: No, you first.

    Lisa: Come on, Alex. Are you shy? You can't be shy if you wanna be an actress.

    Lisa: [Lisa holds up a book] Here.

    Alex: Shakespeare.

    Lisa: [Lisa continues to hold the book up to Alex and the camera] This is your big break.

    Alex: That's Shakespeare. I can't do that. That's too hard.

    Lisa: [Lisa begins to quote Shakespeare at the camera] Haply, when I shall wed. That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry half my love with him, half my care and duty. Surely I shall never marry like my sisters to love my father all.

    [Alex begins to grows jealous of Lisa's natural acting ability]

    Lisa: So true, my lord. In life... Ah! I blew it. I'm sorry. That was bad.

    Alex: No, that was amazing.

    Lisa: [Lisa tells Alex through the camera] You know, the thing with acting is, Alex, you just have to commit. Otherwise, you're just a phony.

  • [Alex remembers the flashback of when she told Lisa that Matthew had been sleeping with another girl, which was a complete lie]

    Alex: [Alex cries to realize how horrible of a person she is, with Luke on the other side of her dressing room door] Luke, I'm so sorry.

    Luke: No. Shh. It's okay.

    Alex: I'm so sorry.

    Luke: No. Please, don't apologize. Please. God. I know you're doing the best you can. I just... I want to you to know that I... that I love you. All right? And I don't want to play games anymore. What's the point? I'm just terrible at them anyways.
