"Charm" is actually a very typical Anderson work, with procrastinating speed, sluggish shots, too obsessed with atmosphere creation, too elaborate on emotional development, using long dialogues to promote the plot, too subjective in character characterization, always making people feel The feeling of twisting to the extreme. In fact, the twisting of the bar is very important in literary films, but the twisting force is too large, it becomes a twist made of artificial chicken (zhuang) eggs, and the natural taste is abandoned for the sake of beauty.
The first third of the film is very cliché. A big man in the clothing industry meets a young waiter by chance. Two people of unequal status come together. The big man is condescending and giving orders; The two are like masters and servants, but they are still ambiguous. As soon as a routine soap opera begins.
In the middle of the film, the waiter finally couldn't hold it anymore, and this was the birth of the most exciting play of the film, and it also made the audience wake up from paralysis - this is not another "My Fair Lady"! The waiter suddenly disregarded her image and asked the big coffee for an explanation, and the big coffee also stubbornly asked the waiter what she wanted, so the waiter angrily revealed her hatred of the rich and full: Your high society is just a fake model. game! What gentlemen and young ladies are a group of performers; what fashions and trends are clearly a circus!
Thank you to the waiter for relieving the stagnation in the hearts of most people for many years, but the waiter is not an upright revolutionary, but a poisonous woman who secretly harms others. It seems that we still have to use some underhand tricks to solve the problem! Referring to the plant map in the kitchen, she dug up the poisonous mushroom medicine by herself (much smarter than Pan Jinlian). The waiter took the opportunity to take the opportunity to take care of it carefully and entered the room, which made the dying big coffee feel like "cherishing the person in front of him", and when the poison passed, he proposed to the waiter.
Although the waiter finally succeeded in breaking into the upper class through crime, the farce continued. After they got married, the two found that they were not suitable at all, and they couldn't go together at all. The big coffee was furious and wanted to get rid of the waiter, but the waiter was no longer the "Cinderella" who asked for anything in the past. She blatantly appeared in front of the big coffee. The second time I made poisonous mushrooms for him to eat, the big coffee broke out of Stockholm Syndrome under her obscenity.
In fact, the waiter found his way out of the relationship between the big coffee and his sister. The big coffee used to be the puppet of his mother and sister, but this time it was just a young mistress. This kind of morbid relationship has firmly established These mentally ill people were chained together until they died. I remember that a few years ago, a popular fashion celebrity also committed suicide because of the death of his mother, which is very sad.
After watching this movie, I remembered a song - "Conquer": I am conquered by you like this, drink the poison you have hidden, my plot has ended, and my love and hate have been buried. After eating poisonous mushrooms for the second time, the big coffee has become a walking dead, so the narrator in the film is the waiter. In her eyes, there is a thief who is a villain and a thief talking about her history of conquest and writing the big coffee's autobiography. The rights have been taken away, what an irony!
I have read a book written by Somerset Maugham called "Pleasure". The protagonist in it is a great writer. In his later years, he was controlled by his nanny and became a puppet like a great coffee. At that time, someone pointed out keenly , The original form of the author in the book is an allusion to the real great writer Thomas Hardy! It seems that similar stories are not uncommon, the smartest people are still working people!
As for the performance of the actors in the film, I have nothing to say, I can only praise silently. But I don't think it's enough to win an Oscar, it lacks a little passion.
