The fate between Jude Law and the old drama player Michael Caine is really not one-and-a-half, except for the obvious origin of the British, the two of them There is always a kind of "transitivity" in the remake. In 2007, Luo Ren produced and starred in "Footprint", which was a remake of an old film from 1972. In the old version, Kane played the handsome "love man", and in the 07 version, the old Kay Eun has turned into a sinister "husband", and the part of his lover that year fell to Jude Law, who was born in 1972.
In fact, this kind of remake has happened more than once. As early as 2004, Jude Law took the lead in the remake of "Alfie" (the old version was translated as "The Merry Man") starring Kane in 1966. In comparison between the two editions, Kane’s handsome man Alfie is more elegant and calm, while Luo’s is more sexy and fashionable. Of course, due to the different backgrounds of the times, Luo's Alfie is full of modernity, and also quite popular, and even the life habits of monologues reflect the characteristics of the ongoing time. In addition, the two people's hunting targets are also different. In modern New York, most of them are sexy and unrestrained women with unique personalities. Whether single or not, as Alfie said, each of them is different, just like snowflakes.
In all fairness, the idea of this film is not complicated or new. The structure is simple and clear, and the overall color looks average. It is nothing more than telling about the unsustainable love of a lingering British ruffian in New York. Let's interpret the inner world of this flashy and tumultuous soul. If it weren't interspersed with some self-feelings, hidden illness treatments, and powerful supporting roles, the film would easily become a running account of a man's romantic history.
A man like Alfie who chases love and gives up at any time like a biological instinct is common in literature and film and television works. It is not uncommon to say that he is like Maupassant's "Pretty Friend", but not at all. It is also far from Lermontov's spiritual level. "Contemporary Hero", calling him Don Juan and Casavano is a bit too much. In the material-rich modern world, people are surrounded by such industrious little bees. Once they get the nectar, they will immediately divert their attention to the next flower. They are so greedy for new things, as if they can never reach the other side of desire. Tired to panic.
Like many "bees" with emotional intelligence problems, Alfie will get tired after a certain period of time in each relationship, and sensitively realize that the restraint of the cage has dropped, so he immediately retreats, and then finds new ones. Once he decides to end the relationship, he will not take into account the feelings of the other person-he can not call the other person after lingering, as if he does not know the person at all; he can also appear casually in the single mother Julie (Marisa Tomei) (Playing) In front of her, it seems that she is just a warm habitat; you can also drive away the outstanding personality Nigie (played by the new girlfriend Sienna Miller at the time, now separated) on rainy nights, and watch her stop in the rain In the car, he put his luggage in with difficulty; he could even
say "you are welcome to my friend's wife" after drunk at midnight... Alfie, who uses sweet words as a mantra and often says "I love you", actually only loves herself and is only loyal to her own feelings. , So he consciously or unconsciously hurt a lot of people who "passed by", when he realized that his girlfriends had paid a lot for him, and he did nothing for them, most of the things were wrong, so when When he finally gathered the courage to look into the eyes of his friend Ma Long, he realized the depth of the scar caused by him.
The most notable performance in the film is not the protagonist Jude Law, but Susan Sarandon, who played the supporting role and cosmetics company owner Liz. When filming this film, Sarandon was over sixty years old but did not hesitate to be sexy. , Her every move, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of flavor, shedding the mature, charming, smart, confident and confident of this successful old woman in a limited space. It was this charming woman who finally gave Alfie a sobriety-when Alfie asked Liz angrily why he was with another man, and how is this man better than him, Liz hesitated for a moment and finally said : "He is younger than you." It
is not his appearance or sexy, nor is it demeanor and considerate, but young. This is a question that human beings can never escape and resist. Therefore, this simple answer is undoubtedly a heavyweight for Alfie. Bomb, and this reply also prompted Alfie to seriously consider his life. A short life does not allow human beings to indulge for too long. Time is a scythe that sweeps. Although how to live is a whole life, it's just that the tastes vary greatly.
Xu was to render the unstoppable mood and mood of the wind and snow in the film. The film has worked harder on the soundtrack. The broad-sounding Joss Stone sang the theme song of the film, giving the audience a sense of urban life blurring and feeling. A sense of passing. And the film episode "Lonely This Christmas", performed by Joss and the lead singer of the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, expresses the mentality that lover Alfie does not want to spend alone in the festival, and also sees him at first sight. Ji Shi's awe-inspiring is a psychological pavement.
