"Casanova" is not such an unconventional and ambitious movie. In essence, it is a story of a wanderer looking for true love. However, the extravagant scenes, humorous stories, and the actor's skill in every move have doubled the quality of the film. It is not surprising that Heath plays this kind of romantic and suave bastard, but the pedantic and stubborn bishop portrayed by Jeremy is surprising. Unexpectedly, this old guy who is known for serious themes is also familiar with the laughter.
Many people went to this movie with the sadness of Heath's departure. In "Brokeback Mountain", the sadly penetrated images and reality in the dark will make his death less unacceptable. The question is, in the face of such a colorful and humorous film, how can you adjust your emotions to believe that it is already the posthumous work of the protagonist?
The first Heath movie I saw was "The Patriot." It is said that he was in poor condition during the first audition, so he sincerely asked the director to give him another chance. The director agreed, and a brilliant newcomer came out of the film. The aesthetics of people and people are not painful. Foreign reviews say that he is just a common look, and domestic audiences have a higher recognition of his appearance. In any case, it is not difficult to imagine what he looks like when he is sincere, and how contagious he is when he is sincere.
Then came the hot "Legend of Knights". Since then, most people believe that he has made his own world in the film world. The later development was not unexpected. The schedule and pay were constantly increasing. It is not so difficult to see his two films in a year. But failures like "The Kelly Gang" and "The Exorcist" caused him to encounter a bottleneck in his career. Then he announced that he would star in Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain". At that time, I unkindly thought that gay roles were about to become the life-saving straw for male actors. The film was finally released, and I didn't feel much moved when I watched it in the theater. After he died, he watched it again at home. The fact that things are different and the difference between yin and yang made me cry.
What I admired last year was the clown’s stunts. What I love is his anarchism. He is the "most tasteful criminal" in New York City. He is the kind of merciless ridicule and foolishness of social order. It is impossible in ordinary life. Some are hysterical. But that's not you, Heath, I can't even find the real you in that face with heavy makeup.
Today, it’s Casavano. Your costume really made me accept it for a while. It’s kind of funny. The old fairy tale of Playboy falling in love is not my taste, but today, because of you, I can be happy. After watching it, I realized that you can also perform such a cute comedy.
Will I still look for your other movies? Am I still looking forward to your halfway posthumous work? I don't know, I'm really not sure. Maybe sometimes I will suddenly think of you, when and where I don’t know.
I don't actually love you that much, Heath...
