pretty man

The cold weather, the impetuous mood, the melancholy that can't be erased, the trivial matters that can't be sorted out... Shielding the current messy state of mind, I watched "The King's Man" again many years ago, and there are more holes in my mind. Gina's eyes as deep as water... These days, there is no absolute praise or criticism for any word. Just like pretty, if used on men, many straight men are very resistant. I have always admired the kind of men with tough masculinity, and it was not until I watched "The King's Man" that I realized that being beautiful is really not a girl's patent. The first shot of Kong Ji, as an actor, is beautiful and suffocating. Having been a woman for more than 20 years in the world, this is the first time I found out that the words charming and beautiful can be used on a man so convincingly. , It turns out that a man can really be so beautiful and calm, without causing any nausea... Kong Ji, a beautiful man, a charming man, I don't know if it is an illusion. I always feel that Kong Ji in the movie was shivering all the time when he took off the mask of the actor and lived in reality. His sweet smile makes people feel distressed, his skin makes the most beautiful queen Lushui crazy with jealousy, his eyes are bewitched, resentful, affectionate and helpless, and behind his water-like eyes hides unspeakable pain. Many people like to compare him with Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine". Personally, I think Kong Ji's emotions are simpler and more forbearing than Dieyi... There are many actors in the film, and they interpret drama and life of laughter and tears. A group of actors, a group of actors with flesh and blood, compared to the brutal Yanshan Jun, the hypocritical ministers, and the sinister green water, their existence was undoubtedly a ray of sunshine in the dark society at that time. "The actor is ruthless" is a saying that has been circulating for a long time, but the film "The King" shows us a group of actors who value affection and justice. The eternal love is the sea, broad and deep. His feelings for Kong Ji are mixed with friendship, family affection and love. He has been playing the role of Kong Ji's "flower" messenger, protecting the weak Kong Ji, and eventually lost his eyes and even his life. Kong Ji's feelings for Changsheng were not as enthusiastic, but when the weak Kong Ji slashed his wrist with a blade, and told the story of himself and his senior brother with the puppet in his hand, while crying, the blood spurted finally realized that the original Kong Ji has been surrounded by the "sea" of longevity, and the bright red blood spreads into bright flowers on his fair skin, just like his dependence on longevity, which cannot be thrown away. Kong Ji was powerless to get rid of his own destiny, but he still dreamed of changing an absurd and cruel monarch, and finally found that he was just a pawn. Therefore, "playing again in the next life" became his promise to longevity and his most powerful refutation to fate. . When I write this, I think of the "Player" written by Xi Murong: Please don't believe in my beauty and don't believe in my love. Beneath my painted face, I have the heart of an actor, so please don't put my Don't be heartbroken with my performance, my dear friend, in this life, I'm just an actor. I will always shed my tears in other people's stories. At the end of the movie, Kong Ji and Changsheng can't escape the arrangement of fate, so they put The hope is pinned on the afterlife, and the afterlife still hopes to be an actor, play the joys and sorrows of others, and shed tears.
