, but Sister You thinks it's the opposite, and it's common for a good story to be bad. But it's hard to play bad stories well, without a logical and philosophical story to back them up. So no matter how good an actor's acting skills are, they are like superfluous superfluous.
The temporal pattern of the stories is very small, all taking place 6 days of the week. However, don't underestimate this short 6 days, because just a few days will subvert the life of a couple. The protagonist Kate Morrell happily prepares a banquet for her husband's 45th wedding anniversary.
You might wonder why the 45th anniversary is being celebrated. You must think, because they are too affectionate? Celebrate every five years? No, the heroine at the back just told you that they missed the opportunity to celebrate the 40th anniversary because of her husband's illness. Whether it is a heart disease or a physical disease is unknown!
Just when Kate was about to discuss the details of the celebration with her husband, I don't know which second-hand who specializes in breaking up marriages sent a letter. The letter said that they seemed to have found the first girlfriend of her husband, Joff. However, not a real person, just a corpse. Joff's first love was killed on a mountaineering trip with him. Then Joff met Kate and married her. At first, Kate didn't care about this matter. A living person, why bother with a corpse. However, she soon discovered that things were not so simple. Joff often subconsciously tells her about his ex-girlfriend's memories. Whether it's seeing a book in the library, ordering an order in a restaurant, or lying in bed at night. He kept muttering to himself all the details in the recollection. The subtle affection of the first girlfriend, the length of her voice, and even the crack of her eventual death. He can tell the size clearly, his whole life seems to be spent for those few short hours. The 45 years they spent together, however, became blank like a broken piece after drinking.
This is how a romance movie becomes a horror movie. Unwilling, Kate began to make an effort to save this love, playing the song when they first met, recreating the original appearance when they were in love, and the two even went upstairs to have sex on a whim. As a result, the husband has lost his sexual ability, and all the phenomena allude to the growing emotional rift between them.
On the contrary, Qiao Fu's yearning for his first girlfriend only increased. One day, while her husband was out for a luncheon, Kate climbed into the attic and saw her husband's little secret that had been hidden for many years. His hoarded photos, texts, diaries, slideshows on repeat. It's all about one woman, the nightmare that haunts her. This woman has been dead for many years, but it has always been etched in Joff's heart like a scar. All kinds of facts almost make Kate's spirit on the verge of collapse, and their love becomes more and more like a deliberate performance.
The climax of the show also culminated in their 45th anniversary, with Joff giving "Kate" a well-prepared confession. Everyone thinks that their enduring love is romantic and beautiful, but the heart is sour but only the person involved knows it. When a person who has slept by the pillow for more than 40 years suddenly becomes a stranger who seems familiar. Thinking of other women in my heart, but I still have to confess to my wife, even though I am separated from love by thousands of miles, I still insist on living in the lies created by myself and the eyes of the world.
First love, exes, and affairs seem to be an issue that covers couples around the world, and there are countless movies on similar themes. Most movies are biased against mainstream values, and the ending still brings the protagonist back to the family, cherishing the moment
, but this movie tells you that it is all an illusion. Among the deceitful people who choose to continue their life for many years, the whole film uses a quiet force to fight back against reality powerfully. From the scene, the movement of the mirror, to the performance of the characters, it is undoubtedly not static.
Transitioning to a large vista in the wild, most of the shots follow Kate's footsteps. The director also has ulterior motives to focus three-quarters of the shots on Charlotte Rampling's wrinkled but stubborn and indifferent face.
Kate's final throw also becomes the film's final climax, representing her break with the illusion. Charlotte Rampling's superb acting skills have turned a corner of a mouth that is so small and rhythmic around a person in his later years into an emotional expression. Throughout, she doesn't have any intense emotions. Her performance is as pure and elegant as herself, but it best explains how to get the roles and characters just right, so that the performance can be deeply rooted without losing strength.
Maybe everyone has a double self like the husband in the film. Everyone has some hidden attics and corners in their hearts. Where are the memories and regrets that we don't want to touch, just like a dam that blocks water. Once one day, even if a small gap is opened, the torrent that pours down can instantly destroy all the deliberate actions. calm.
I believe that the feeling that everyone is drunk and I wake up alone must be painful and helpless. After all, living well is one thing, and living well is another.
