A touch of romance, warm love

Commercial films do not always attract attention with luxurious images, intense plots, and grand scenes. Sometimes, love stories without visual stimulation can also be memorable. "THE HOLIDAY" is a warm, light comedy story about the pursuit of love. There was no heart-wrenching struggle, and no compassionate touch. All the emotions that the film exudes are neutral, giving people a warm and refreshing feeling. This spontaneous intimacy may be derived from finally seeing a story close to his own life on the fictional screen.
Cameron Diaz's image of an ordinary woman is far more charming than the strong woman with swords and guns in "Charlie's Angels". The country love she and Jude Law co-interpreted is sincere and simple. The beautiful and quiet English village makes the interpretation of love free of noise and utilitarianism, allowing emotional impulses to break through the limitations of rational reality, and making romance the only dominance of true love. All the stories came so suddenly, but very naturally, in the end, the true love brought tears to Amanda (Cameron), who had never shed tears, and took the initiative to take the initiative to her love for the first time. This sweet touch made me silently bless the characters from the bottom of my heart.
In addition to the shocking "Titanic", the impression of Kate Winslet is really pitiful. This "Love Holiday" made me pay attention to the simple charm of this British woman. A newspaper reporter living in a rural area. In addition to writing fictional romantic love in his life and work, real life has no emotional warmth. Seeing the man who fell in love with her, the only thing she can do is go back to the lonely and dilapidated house and cry alone. The excitement of coming to LA, which has a strong urban atmosphere, is self-evident by chance. I never expected to find my love and convert during this vacation. In the performance, the curiosity and excitement of a country girl who came to the city for the first time are very well expressed. As an audience, I can't help but be happy because of her kindness and stupidity.
The whole story tells the story of four men and women who are emotionally lost in each other's encounter, communication and understanding to obtain the sweet love they truly yearn for. This kind of romance is definitely not as unforgettable as an epic blockbuster, but it just feels so tangible and real to me. This is the pursuit of love in ordinary life. At the end of the film, the four protagonists appear in the same shot for the first and only time, and four lonely men and women with different trajectories find a common focus here. This kind of love seems warm and romantic, light, but endless aftertaste! !

    Who played Dustin Hoffman? Why didn't you notice.

    The director and screenwriter Nancy Meyers is really good. He has filmed "Love Is Complicated", "Love Is Compromise" and "Men Hundred Percent". He is 64 years old this year and still beautiful. In addition to romantic love, the film also pays tribute to the practitioners' tender feelings. The old screenwriter's appearance on the screenwriters union's lifetime awards podium is really moving. I hope that when we are old, Chinese-language movies will be equally worthy of life.
