Don't take it seriously, nothing is so pure

Aunt Mei plays a real character again. Of course, Aunt Mei has it. Whoever you play is who you play.

Beibei's movie world: http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/1167336560

As early as 2015, France had filmed the movie "Out of tune", but Aunt Mei's version is more comedic, with the original Tragic and satirical characters are portrayed more positively and optimistically. In fact, I prefer the interpretation of Aunt Mei's version, because I think that life is like this, it is not so dignified, it depends on how we treat it.

Margaret, played by Aunt May, sings out of tune, but is popular in Paris. It seems absurd, but it is also a product of that era. After watching the entire movie, everyone will probably have a question: Does she know that she sings out of tune?

I actually believe she knows. But the more times a lie is told and the longer the age, the more you will take the lie seriously, which may be regarded as a form of self-hypnosis. Margaret seems to be living a headless life, pure happiness, she seems to be a very stupid person, but she is actually a wise person, because she understands how her life is, and she often chooses The only thing is to open one eye and close the other, too much competition will make life unhappy. So she's a really smart person, and that's what I admire most about her.

Her first husband let her contract syphilis at a young age, lost her hair, and struggled with the disease all her life. I believe that people with weaker minds give up on themselves and die early. She did not, she chose to fill the pain of the disease with the music she loved. Of course, she has to have money, and can burn a lot of money to achieve her musical dreams, and she is good at using her money to serve her. So God is fair, even though life may be unsatisfactory in all likelihood, there is always something that can be used. For Margaret, there was no shortage of money. She has a briefcase that she carries with her. At first, the film kept creating suspense to keep everyone from knowing what was in the bag. Later, when the film reached its climax, she realized that the briefcase contained her will. Every time someone around her offered her sincere blessings and help to her musical dreams, she added that person's name to her will. Are you saying she's stupid? Even if people laugh at her music, she can discern who is really helping her in the process of realizing her musical dream. She is not stupid, she knows who is helping her, who is fake, and who is laughing.


So you say current husband Hugh Grant really loves him or is it for his money? Of course, at first I thought he was with a fat, hairless woman with syphilis for his money. But after seeing it, I found that he still loves her, but we really don't need to study the purity of this love. Maybe he was willing to marry her for money and social status at first, Hugh Grant turned a blind eye, didn't Margaret also turn a blind eye to marry this man? Just get what you need. Every time Hugh Grant goes to play golf, doesn't Margaret know that Hugh Grant is going to pick up girls? She also turned one eye and closed one eye. She clearly knew that if she couldn't give it, she couldn't be hard on others, and then she could maintain the status quo well, because she needed everything he could give more than the unbearable part. In contemporary times, how much love can stand the test of bread? How many loves are so pure that they do not consider the material conditions of the RV? So we don't have to look at the purity of this love. Hugh Grant has been creating a perfect musical dream for Margaret all his life. That's enough. He works hard, and he also loves Margaret spiritually. Their love is not pure but real, and it's quite touching.


So, since Margaret knew that she was actually not good at singing, why did she stab herself and become the laughing stock of the newspaper? I think it's because I believe a lie for a long time. Is this the blind self-confidence in the legend? I really admire her attitude towards life. It is really difficult for people like us who live a down-to-earth life to surround themselves in the illusion of ignoring others. Although the final dismantling made her lose her vitality completely, the words she said before her death were really good:

"They may say I can't sing, but they can't say I didn't sing."

Look In this film, you laughed and cried, and even if you sat in front of the screen and listened to her singing, you might be embarrassed for her. But you have to admire the strength of a person's courage and persistent belief. Maybe you say she can be "notorious" like this to present and future generations because she has money, but do you see her hard work and her optimism? Therefore, I especially admire her persistence and courage. Just like a sentence I often say on my lips: as long as the desire is strong enough, it will be realized.


This is how Margaret is. Her desire for music is strong enough to stand on the most shining stage. But I'm not talking about trying hard. Sometimes the direction is wrong, and the harder you try, the more embarrassing you become. Because although Margaret's talent is not as good as her ambition, she has money to burn. This is because of objective material conditions that she can come this way, but if it is true that her talent is not as good as her ambition, and there are no other objective factors to help, then it is still practical. A little, like Simon in the original "The Big Bang Theory" who played her piano. There is a very interesting text at the end of the film that Simon, the pianist, was at the peak of music in his life when he accompanies Margaret. Later, he never became popular again, so he ran to the fitness business. And Margaret's husband, didn't he turn to Margaret because of his unsatisfactory acting career.



Therefore, this film is really very realistic when it is carefully analyzed. Some people work hard all their lives and fail to achieve their goals, and some people are known for their mediocre talents. Everyone, if you want to live well in this world, you must give up what you should give up, and insist on what you should insist on. Don't live so rigidly and realistically, as if you must be like Joan of Arc. In the real world is not going to work. Don't be so serious, no one and nothing is so pure.

  • St Clair Bayfield: Are you fond of sandwiches?

    Cosmé McMoon: Yes.

    St Clair Bayfield: Good, good. Madam Florence is inordinately fond of sandwiches. And potato salad as well. When we throw parties we make mountains of the stuff. It would serve you well to consume both with enthusiasm.

    Cosmé McMoon: I shall.

  • St Clair Bayfield: If you can forgive Madam Florence her little eccentricities, you'll find her to be a most generous and delightful person. Ours is a very happy world.
