"Love in Another World" is a love movie directed by James Mangold. He has directed commercial blockbusters such as "Invincible", "Wolverine 2" and "Wolverine 3". "Love in Another World" is his first time to direct a love movie.
The film tells a love story that spans time and space. More than 100 years ago, the noble duke Leo (played by Hugh Jackman) came to the 21st century through a time-space tunnel and met a professional woman Kate (played by Meg Ryan), Earl Leo. Encounter a series of interesting and romantic stories in modern times. Kate (Meg Ryan) is a senior executive at an advertising agency and the face of the modern new woman, smart, talented, and adept at navigating the male-dominated business world. However, she broke up with her ex-boyfriend Stewart after many problems.
Kate's ex-boyfriend Stuart (played by Liev Schreiber), an expert on super-space, accidentally discovered a crack in the time tunnel and broke into New York in 1876. He used a camera to film the ceremony of the completion of New York at that time, and was captured by Leo. Discovered, the two fell into the time tunnel to New York in the 21st century.
Then met Kate, the two were mutually exclusive from the beginning and eventually fell in love, but Kate still couldn't believe that Leo was a transmigrator. In reality, because Leo is the inventor of the elevator, if Leo does not return to his own era within the specified time, history will change, and human beings do not have a safety elevator, so in the end Leo returns to his era. Finally, because of the photos taken by Stewart, Kate finally believed that Leo was a traveler, and finally decided to travel through time to Leo's era, and the two finally got married.
2 Interesting plot
There are many interesting plots in the film, Leo Duke of Albany is a very attractive golden bachelor who insists on finding true love before getting married. But because of the decline of the family, he had to accept the arrangement of his uncle and associate with girls from wealthy families. Leo arrives in modern-day New York and meets Kate. Conquered by Kate's independent personality, her pursuit of career and the ability to enjoy life at the same time, she is completely different from the charm of women in his era.
Kate is a typical modern urban white-collar worker, she easily owns her own world in the male world by virtue of her ingenuity. And Leo looks handsome, has a gentleman's demeanor, and gradually attracts Kate with sincerity. In order to help Kate, Leo became a model for a diet food advertisement of Kate's company. When Kate was robbed by a thief on the street, Leo incarnated as Prince Charming and took her to catch the thief.
Hugh Jackman's gentlemanly charm in this play is very attractive. I remember the first time I watched this play, I was still studying at school. At that time, it was in the school cinema. The screen went to the time when the protagonist Kate was preparing to cross on London Bridge There was no follow-up. Back then, the girls in the entire dormitory almost overturned the school cinema, because in the end the story of him dancing with Kate was not broadcast, which made the girls very dissatisfied.
3 The American Sweetheart and the British Gentleman
is an early time-traveling movie. Before the rise of time-travel dramas in mainland China, I thought it was quite novel when I first watched it. And the actress, Meg Ryan, is really popular. She and Tom Hanks performed in "Sleepless in Seattle", which was touching, and co-starred with Nicolas Cage in "Angel's Passion", as a beautiful surgeon. The episode "Angel" sung by Sarah McLachlan is popular in China and is one of the most familiar European and American pop songs.
In "Love in Another World", Kate played by Meg Ryan has a fresh and pleasant appearance, a playful personality, full of sensibility and intellectual beauty, and her fresh, natural and unpretentious acting skills are impressive.
Meg Ryan is very good at performing romantic comedies, and this movie also has the characteristics that she is good at. Just like the protagonists of many romantic literary films, she has a sunny personality, charming smile and her natural sense of comedy. Very flattering, no wonder she was nicknamed "American Sweetheart" by the American media.
Hugh Jackman plays the male protagonist, Leo, Duke of Albany. Leo is a gentleman. From him, we can see the rare aristocratic gentleman's demeanor in modern society. Leo's role is completely different from the male muscle of Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman. Different temperament, he is elegant, very educated, sincere, full of gentlemanly manners to women, and these characteristics make us as the audience think that he is the aristocratic duke in the movie in 1876.
4 Sincerity is the best weapon,
especially the plot where he corrects how Kate’s younger brother Charlie treats girls sincerely, which makes people truly feel that the gentleman’s temperament is not only in appearance, but in the respect and love for the people around him from the heart.
During the shooting of the advertisement, Duke Leo learned that the food in the weight loss advertisement was deceptive, and the second was angry. These deeds let us see that the precious gentleman's temperament in Duke Leo has long been ignored by people. of excellent quality. Leo's daily behavior in the film makes us reflect on it. In our daily life, because of neglect, we have less sincerity and restraint in dealing with people and more selfish behavior centered on the individual.
In the film, Leo has a sincerity that is rarely seen in modern men. When Kate was dating her boss JJ, she met Leo and Charlie. Leo said to Kate's boss because of jealousy: the boss pursues his subordinates and turns ladies into prostitutes. In fact, it makes sense to think about it carefully. Such a relationship can easily become a matter of using the power in his hands to pursue desires, without respecting the other party, which is also a kind of contempt for love, and JJ is gradually looking at it because of this. Know that Kate is indeed a subordinate who deserves her respect.
It is precisely because of his sincerity that Kate was deeply attracted and made the two fall in love through the time and space tunnel separated by more than 100 years. This in itself is an illusion. "Love in a Different World" is a fairy tale for adults. Leo and Kate don't have too many difficulties and obstacles, only the funny and interesting little contradictions between modern and ancient times. The emotional experience of the hero and heroine reflects a kind of spiritual understanding. Faced with whether to go to the past or stay in the present, there is no hesitation. For the sake of love, they both choose the best result for both parties. The whole movie is like a beautiful essay, interesting and sweet and warm, which makes people feel good after watching it. A knowing smile, very good, love should be like this, sweet and beautiful.
