#電光影# "Out-of-tune diva", I thought it was a funny rhythm that doesn't make sense, but I met the purest and softest dream in a person's heart.

When sitting in a movie theater crying in a mess, I think many people can't understand, because everyone around is laughing and laughing happily, but I am endlessly moved.

This film was selected at the Beijing International Film Festival in 2016. I wanted to see it very much at that time, but I missed it for various reasons. I didn't expect the same film to come again at the 2017 International Film Festival. Some fates have been going around for a long time, as if they have been waiting. I never gave up the expectation of feeling under the big screen, and finally gave myself a quiet and free night. In the interlacing of colors on the screen, it seems to foresee the brilliance, and then glimpse the gloom, knowing that the road ahead will be difficult, but it has finally come to a certain day, I think, this is a revelation. There are always some things that can constantly move us and sigh, stimulate our thinking in a certain nerve, and push our real life progress, and these are the milestones that give us, step by step, to understand our inner self.

The film is adapted from the real experience of the 20th century "soprano" Florence Foster Jenkins. It tells the mental journey of Jenkins, an opera lover with a tone-deafness, singing all the way from a private club to Carnegie Hall. Aunt Mei plays the soprano Jenkins. She is in her 70s. She is full of energy, but her voice is incomplete. Her cognition comes from the inexplicable protection of the outside world. She has never been aware of her own flaws. She has completed her life with her passion for opera. chase.

Claire, the husband played by Uncle Hugh, maintains his love for his wife all year round. For his wife's pursuit, he shields all malicious comments from the outside world, and uses his efforts to protect her to create a new paradise for her, so that she can only see beautiful blessings and praises , live in a world of love.

In the film, when a performance ended, Jenkins fell down. Because of physical weakness, a doctor was invited, and her story slowly began. It turned out that she contracted syphilis in her first marriage. Here is an incurable disease, and Jenkins has spent countless years in silence with his own miracles. Therefore, Jenkins and Claire, the current husband played by Uncle Hugh, have always been in a sexless marriage. Even the husband has lived elsewhere and has a lover who accompanies him every day. All the chaotic relationships are at that moment. But I don't know that everything buried is the seed of love, and love spreads in every corner.

When Jenkins suddenly visited her husband's apartment, Claire was happily with her girlfriend, and when she heard a movement, she hurriedly stuffed her girlfriend into the closet. The naked, sleepy girlfriend's heart didn't know what it was What a grievance to come, but at that moment, the difference between the feelings was slightly clear. When Claire was having fun with his girlfriend in a bar, but he heard someone maliciously slandering his wife, he abandoned his girlfriend again and used his fist to solve the problem unceremoniously. Some love has always been very strong, because love is in the heart and bones, but the heart is one thing, and the reality is another. Live your own life, don't know if it's bitter or sweet.

The most terrifying part of lies is that they will inevitably spread in the loopholes, and some peach blossoms cannot live in others' lives. When the curtain of truth opened, Jenkins' pain was a fall under the blow, breaking his heart, and he had to work hard to get up.

The role of the pianist is like the most dynamic change in the entire film. From the initial astonishment, the smile that was suppressed for the sake of money became the builder and assistant in the later story of lies. Knowing how to meet with kindness and seeing the sparkle of a person's heart is more tearful than the smoothness of all skills. Everyone seems to live in this world with their own weaknesses and humility, but in this fairy tale, everyone can't help but want to throw a piece of kindness, even if they can only cast a little warmth, Give your best. In the end, all that can be seen is the kindness of humanity, because I am willing to put my last remnant on the tolerance of people, and because I have glimpsed a person's love and persistence, I run desperately on the road of chasing dreams, even if I don't know the future. Where is the brilliance, but the brilliant smile all the way is enough to light up the world.

"People may say I couldn't sing, but no one can say I didn't sing."

Jenkins told Claire.

I cried for this sentence for a long time. Even though almost half a year has passed, I still don't know how to write down the emotion of such a film, but I am still very moved when I see this sentence today.

The star of life may be insignificant in the long river of history. The probing hands often show their loss in a groping for nothing. But who hasn't had the dream of being a detective, but the dream has become a dream in the end, and they don't even dare to think about it. In the world you invest in, it is not the beauty of "planting melons and getting melons, and sowing beans and getting beans". Talent and hard work have never been good brothers who are packaged together. Whoever encounters what kind of luck has its own reason, maybe it is due to hard work. , Maybe it is talent, but the most important thing is the moment when the dream crosses like a shooting star, whether you embrace the moment, even if the fleeting becomes forever, you have smiled and owned, and do not regret what you have done.

We live hard, everyone knows that tomorrow and the accident may not come first. One day, if we close our eyes completely, there will be countless regrets wandering in our minds, but half of the reasons for regrets are made by ourselves. . No steps taken, no hard work, no brave investment, no unbridled love and hatred, no full expression, no, too many no, it has become an afterimage of the last time. Pain may not last long, but regret builds eternity. The person who has worked hard to do it, or has been chasing dreams all his life, pursuing his own hopes, is satisfied but uncertain, but on the way of chasing, this flying hope has already completed half of his life. The three words "great" are the conclusion after the climbing of behavior. Without the effort of reaching out for the stars, how can you face your life without regrets. Sometimes I think about it, the simplest beauty is just one step away from us.

Just thinking about this movie makes me feel faintly moved. Therefore, we respect everyone who runs on the road of hard work, or the results will not make us as expected, but when we see the efforts of those who have searched and reached out to explore, I praise this courage.

Life is probably short to minutes and seconds, and what can be grasped in the end is actually too little, too little. I remembered a question from many years ago: "If you don't do something, you will regret it, if you do it, you will regret it, so should you not do it?" I thought, let's do it. After all, regret comes first, and whether you regret it or not depends on the Do it to know.

About love, about dreams, about understanding, about respect, my heart was gently poked, and it hurts again and again.

Florence Foster Jenkins quotes

  • 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.
