In fact, I have always seen the media praise the film, and the French media even scored a high score of 4.3. But I didn't think until I saw it in person that this film would be my favorite of the nominated films. The story told by The Phantom Thread is not only a craftsman's story, but also a love story, and a story about masculinity. In a space that is both home and studio, the male protagonist Woodcock adheres to a routine that cannot be strictly separated from life and work. He is the only male in this exquisite wall, the king who is always on the island of human beings.
You can say that the movie is beautiful, but the story is ill-intentioned, digs out the essence of love and shows you, and makes you feel like you have witnessed a pair made in heaven. When love begins, the two sides are often unequal. The old designer Reynolds needed a model and a lover. He found a young waiter Alma in the countryside. The first thing he did was to take her back to try on clothes. The extreme objectification of a man is nothing more than that. Alma was the perfect size for Reynolds, and he didn't need any soulful communication with her, all he needed was her to follow the rules and sit next to her at breakfast without making too much noise. The girl wants more, she wants to express her love, and she expects the designer to recognize her love. '
Don't fall in love with an artist easily. This is my first feeling after watching "Phantom Thread", and it is also the point of view I still want to record after reading various film reviews. Men with a strong artistic flavor can often easily harvest a wave of love and YY from "girlfriends". However, the artist's persistent pursuit of the truth and beauty of things, as well as his efforts to convey his inner hidden aesthetic and emotional will through artworks, make the artist A habit of looking inward and ignoring the worldly feelings and reasonable responses of others. Throughout the current or historically well-known artists, almost without exception, there are polarized social evaluations and uncertain social impressions. It is a risky thing to fall into the mire of love. '
