An American movie with a unique temperament

The very early movie was also watched a long time ago. At that time, I only felt that it was really a romantic story. Cage and Cher went to see the opera, and the beautiful crystal chandelier in the theater is still in my memory. When it rises slowly, the feeling it brings to me is really unspeakable-exquisite, delicate, and unable to explain why, I am actually a little moved.

The style of this movie is not like an American movie.

I revisited it some time ago, and it feels a little different.

The heroine set in the film has an Italian family, I think it has its purpose. The whole film has a light sense of humor and is full of wisdom.





The dialogue is definitely the highlight of this movie.



When Xue'er's mother knew that her daughter was going to get married, she asked her:

"Do you love him?"

"No."

"Very well, if you love him, they will drive you crazy. They know exactly what to do."



Kai odd and Cher sitting at the table, talking slowly turned into an argument:

"headless bride"

, "broken hand wolf"

Cage explosive anger, he overturned the table, and then put in the arms Cher

- Because of the verbal abuse, but also because of the precise definition of each other, it pierced my heart.



I remember the two people after watching the opera. Walking on the road, Cage said:

"You are going to marry my brother... You wait for the man who suits you, why don't you wait again?"

"He didn't come"

"I am here ! " "

you're late. "

......



there are many people smile place:

Cher watching the opera and Cage went to the hall, met with an affair with the father of two of dialogue is very interesting:

Father: "You are engaged!"

Daughter: "You are married!"

...

Father: "Just as if I haven't seen you."

Daughter: "I don't know if I saw you."

——Just a few words Words, from breaking the affair, being surprised, to reaching an agreement, how streamlined.



When Xue

Er confessed to the priest: "Father! Please forgive me, I have not confessed for two months."
"What are you going to confess ?"
"I abused the name of God twice, once with my fiance's brother. , Once my check bounced, but it was an accident."
"This is not counted. But, what is the second thing you said?"
"I had an affair with my fiance's brother?"
"This is a felony."
"I know."
"Punish you to read two rosary."



Cher's mother and a man in the hotel:

female: "Where is it?"
Male: "New York University professor."
Female: "the one just now is Your student?"
Male: "Yes, it used to be."
Female: "Does my mother have an old saying that I want to hear?"
Male: "Good."
Female: "Rabbits don't eat grass on the nest."
Male: "I will remember Stay here. What do you do?"
Female: "I am a housewife."
Male: "Why do you eat alone."
Female: "I am not eating alone."
Female: "Can I ask you a question?"
Male: "Of course."
Female: "Why do men chase women."
Male: "Stressed and anxious?"
Female: "Because they are afraid of death."



Dang Xueer insisted on returning At home, Cage's words hit her heart:

…I love you, different from what other people say about love. I am not sure. Love does not make everything beautiful, but makes everything worse. We are not here to make things perfect, snowflakes are perfect, stars are perfect, we are not. We are here, hurting ourselves, breaking our hearts, falling in love with someone we shouldn’t love, and then dying... Love stories are shit! I want you to go upstairs with me!

——This is really the most true and shocking confession. It is the philosophy after the setbacks in life.





I can't comment on these dialogues, because its nonchalant wisdom prevents me from describing it in precise language, but can only experience it, and this experience may not touch half of its center.

There are many wonderful details, warm, humorous, and sharp, I can't give them one by one. This movie does not seem to have a tight rhythm, or even a little loose. Everyone has their own story. Cage and Cher, Cher and fiance, Cher’s father and mother, just look at any of them individually, It's all a story, but interspersed with each other, there is quite a contrasting effect. The whole movie is like flowing clouds and flowing water, light and shining.





PS: Nicolas Cage is my favorite American actor,

"Changing Faces" in the show is a paradox, great gas field,

"City of Angels" in the interpretation of different from the traditional routine of angels, pure and beautiful,

"It Could Happen "The popularity of "" is not very high. The male protagonist he plays is ordinary but warm.

"Stickman" is his movie I watched recently, and his neurotic performance of the male protagonist is impressive.

In this movie, he is still very young, not a superstar yet, but very charming.
