I don't like this expression

The movie I've always wanted to watch when it was released is too emotional, but I don't feel moved, but it's quite depressing. I feel that maybe I'm becoming more and more hard-hearted.

Natalie's hidden expressions have withstood the close-up close-up. I can see that her frailty and helplessness after her husband's death has also expanded countless times. With her pretending to be strong, she can also I can see her desire for control, but the characters are really flat, small, and uncomfortable to imitate, as if to support the actors. The first lady, wife, mother, or just herself, doesn't seem to be established.

Jackie is appropriate, the first lady is awkward.

    It's not easy to make such a subject matter like this. I haven't seen such a comfortable biopic in a long time. Natalie Portman played really well. The first lady’s elegance and strength, wisdom and humor, as well as her fragility and sadness were all performed just right; even a lot of close-up shots made people believe that the woman on the screen was Jackie.

    She finally understood that the grand parade and funeral she expected did not belong to Kennedy, and all the haze would not belong to the United States forever. Her grief belonged only to herself. Mrs. Johnson persuaded her to take off the blood-stained gown. She seemed unheard of. The child asked her if she was wearing the gown for her birthday, and she was speechless. She was just an ordinary woman, but she was chosen by God to experience the pain of losing her husband and child. Her fingers that could not take off the ring were like her haggard and embarrassing life.

Jackie quotes

  • The Priest: Take comfort in those memories.

    Jackie Kennedy: I can't. They're mixed up with all the others.

  • [first lines]

    The Journalist: Mrs. Kennedy? They told me to come up. And I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Jackie Kennedy: Have you read what they've been writing? Krock and Merriman and all the rest?

    The Journalist: Yes, I have.

    Jackie Kennedy: Merriman's such a bitter man. It's been just one week. Already they're treating him like some dusty old artifact to be shelved away. That's no way to be remembered.

    The Journalist: And how would you like him remembered, Mrs. Kennedy?

    Jackie Kennedy: [stammering] I...

    Jackie Kennedy: You understand that I will be editing this conversation just in case I don't say exactly what I mean?

    The Journalist: With all due respect, that seems very unlikely, Mrs. Kennedy.

    [pause]

    The Journalist: Right. Okay. Uh, so this will be your own version of what happened?

    Jackie Kennedy: Exactly. Come in.
