"I love you so much, but we really can't go on like this...
I've always loved you, I really love you, but I really can't like you anymore..."
This is the most serious sentence spoken by the heroine Emma (played by Anne Hathaway) in the movie "One Day", in a dark night after a few years of separation, the male protagonist Dexter (played by Jim Sturges) who was full of affection and broke her heart. In the movie, Emma finished saying this, and the two have been strange since then.
And this sentence is to break the long-standing, ordinary people's habitual cognition of "love" and "like", and the famous saying of Xiao San created by the previous TV series "Sharp Wife": "In love, the person who is not loved is the third party." It also gives people a whole new feeling, whether it is empowerment or obsession.
Before watching "One Day", I watched some film reviews, although it was almost one-sided praise, but before watching it, I still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart, always felt that Anne Hathaway and Jack Gyllenhaal, in the previous movie "Love and Elixir" performance, has been a commercial film based on love, interpreting a golden boy and a jade girl-like model, how can it break through in "One Day"?
And "One Day" actor Dylan's Jim Stegis feels that it is difficult to surpass the spark of the rivalry between Jack Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, but with the deduction of the film story, the doubts in the heart are completely eliminated, and the script twist is written very wonderfully, especially the arrangement of the ending, the profound and complete portrayal of the characters, and many life-like dialogues, whether it is playful, sad, and delicate, are impressive.
I appreciate Anne Hathaway's performance in a 18-year-long half-life film based on David Nichols' best-selling novel One Day, directed by Basil Shaffy, director of "Growing Up Education," about a man and a woman from 1988 to 2006. Also optimistic about this movie, the future may become Anne Hathaway's classic masterpiece in love commercial films.
Not because of how unique such a love story is, but because the director created in the film, a kind of impermanent life atmosphere, in Scotland, London and Paris and other exotic picturesque landscapes, with the background of the selected film soundtrack, made a faint and light classical literary style, and through the superb performances of several male and female protagonists in the film, a very ordinary love story will be interpreted by the depth of introspection of human nature.
There are a lot of classic dialogue in the film, making people feel empathy, no matter what kind of love outlook, years of emotional wandering, unfinished love interlaced regrets, always make people suspense for a lifetime, perhaps this movie "One Day", the real attraction.
Just as love songs are always sad than joyful, they are more touching, and people always have a lot of remembrance and remembrance for those unfinished dreams and unfinished regrets.
Before watching the movie, another big question in my heart was that there really be a love in this world like the movie propaganda said, some people love each other, but they are exhausted and entangled with each other for 18 years?
But with the development of the story in the film, I also fully understood why a pair of lovers has always had no luck for many years because of the intertwined influence of the depth of love, the active and passive personalities of each other, the fate of life, and other factors.
To put it bluntly, it is still the old saying: "In love, whoever confesses the truth first is the unlucky ghost who is more seriously injured." , just because love has no reason to speak of, it seems to be a winding and winding love road, which can be entangled for most of life, watching the movie can not help but emerge in the heart of Zhang Ailing's novel "Half Life", love, red men and green women do not distinguish between East and West, are so indulged in it is difficult to extricate themselves.
The male and female protagonists in the movie, on the first day of the encounter, the spark of true love has been ignited, just the naughty Cupid, the arrow of the god of love shot two people, but "an arrow through the heart", but only half shot, through the heart of Emma, a poor female college student played by Anne Hathaway, but failed to penetrate the rich male college student Dexter played by Jim Sturges, only to begin this 18-year-long love entanglement.
An infatuated woman who is good at listening, a man whose essence may not be bad, but a young man who is drowning in the pursuit of sex, the two are the best friends of the soul who have nothing to talk about, so they have launched an 18-year-long love-hate clutch, which is the main axis of the story described in the movie "One Day".
Although I have never thought that all men are visual animals with small heads and big heads, and all women are unparalleled animals with both sensibility and intellect, in the movie "One Day", it seems difficult not to admit that in the darkness, love, for both sexes, is so really ridiculous.
Audiences who like to think positively may follow the ups and downs of the plot, follow the male and female protagonists on the screen, sometimes laughing and sometimes shedding tears, in the theater, on and off the stage are exquisitely interpreted in their own hearts, and they can also resonate in the air and communicate emotionally.
The whole movie is a "earth-shattering ghost god, human beings challenge the ethical love literary and artistic drama of love loyalty", singing the praises of human love and love, never because of the barrier of time and space, the idea has been slightly reduced.
If you like to laugh and scold the audience who watches life, you may simply think that "One Day" is actually a drama of "an unlucky infatuated woman, in love with a flower-hearted man who does not know what responsibility is", because between the two of them, as long as some of them are sober and think about their true happiness early, or someone is serious and takes the love given by people around them seriously, the development and ending of this movie story may not be what the audience sees at all.
But relatively speaking, between the two, it may not be such a touching love story, the current love movies, in fact, are selling the idea of "young youth for love simple hopes", so just like in the movie, the dialogue between two men who have had love twists and turns with Emma is as real as Emma's ex-boyfriend said to Dexter:
"During the time I was with her, I used to hate you, because she always silently guarded you, and you could always make him happy..." 」
It turns out that in love, a man who can make a woman happy can win the heart of a beautiful person who never regrets, and a woman who uses all her life's love and silently guards the man's side may not necessarily have the happiness of true love; everything is only because the man she fell in love with is a man who will always feel "in fact, I really need you" when she is drunk and lonely.
At both ends of love, love is so unbalanced, who is to blame for such sadness? A relationship of true love for each other, if it is not the barrier of the war and chaos of the big era, but it can be so disconnected and involved for 18 years, who should blame it?
Speaking of such a love story is very beautiful, but it is very unreal, onlookers may feel that the dream is poignant, and it is difficult to be happy with the parties who are in it, whose feelings have been ethereal for many years, but have no way to belong.
After all, love a person, love for 18 years, the golden years of life have long slipped away, the love between the two, no results but also have not really let go, such love, for the party who pays more, how deep a kind of hurt and involvement, no matter how willing she is.
At the same time, it is also unfair to the red men and green women who have been in love with them in addition to the two people. Because, when you have always had a true love in your heart, do not try to achieve true love, but let yourself drown in the sex game of night and night song, or let other suitors who really pay love to make up for the loneliness and emptiness in your heart, taste the same emotional bitterness as you, in fact, it is also a very bad love attitude.
A woman who has both intellectual and sensuality, but would rather blindly live in love, to love a man who always takes advantage of love, but never knows how to pay relatively, it is said that it is caused by the blind spots of love in human nature.
Every time someone talks about love, they always give and give without remorse, until they are physically and mentally tired, they will naturally attract some naïve lovers who are in need of feelings, and naturally enjoy all the efforts of the other party.
In the movie, from Dexter's financial relationship with his parents and emma's love relationship, it can be seen that he is a selfish man who needs love and love endlessly, but is stingy to pay and reflect, but in the relationship, such a bad man is the favorite in the heart of a good woman and a stupid woman.
Many times, love at the beginning, in fact, can already see the difficulties of the two in the future love journey, some people give, some people take, as long as one of them continues to be stupid or greedy for each other's love, it is doomed to entangle each other for half a lifetime in the future, and the intolerance in love hurts itself.
Is such love worthwhile or ignorant? Everyone may have a different view, to put it bluntly, as long as both sides in love are willing, others really have no way to beak, stupid or sober, are just people's choices for love, and fate and time, after all, will be chosen on a certain day, to tell people the truth, this may be the deep meaning of the english title of the movie "One Day".
The male and female protagonists have been in love for so many years in the movie, behind which in addition to the fate of life that is difficult to tell, more is the personality difference between love men and women!
Look at Dexter, who is married and works alone at home as a grandfather, going out to date his college classmate Ian (Rafi Spoo) to his green-hated wife Sylvie (Lomala Garry), the couple in the mobile phone conversation, on the one hand, is a married, received a phone call, the first name that comes out of his heart is not Mrs., but still thinking of the only heroine who knows himself Emma.
On the other end, Sivia, on the one hand, seems to be a good wife and mother out of the house, giving enough care for the family, but after hanging up the phone, she immediately turned around and did not hesitate to hug her husband's college classmate Ian.
It can be seen that in love, not all men and women are good men and women, and they only know how to sacrifice and dedicate themselves to love, but "men with money will be weird, and women change their hearts for money", in the modern era of materialism, it is not a new thing, just the presentation of different aspects of human nature.
If you must pick out something, the problem with the heroine Anne Hathaway's performance in the film is probably that mouthful, and when you hear it, you will know that it is not a British English accent, which makes people jump out of the moving story from time to time.
Although she was very serious and worked hard to do her pre-performance homework, she would unconsciously reveal the accent of typical American English, not to mention the beginning of the story, when the two first met and spoke the characteristic Lowland Scotland, or the local tone of Scottish Gaelic.
In the expression of voice acting, it is indeed more difficult to convince the audience, she plays the British, especially with the old actor who plays Dexter's father and wife in the film, are authentic British actors, the two contrast, high and low.
In addition to the above flawed accent problems, I actually like Anne Hathaway's diverse appearances in this movie, from a pure college student to a strong woman with a successful career, and her emotional flow of innocence, sometimes affection, sometimes sadness, and sometimes capable and relaxed.
Anne Hathaway in the movie because of the time span of 18 years, the shape is fascinating, from the simple and ignorant youth of youth, to the success of the neat and capable, I especially like her short hair style, really too right!
And the male protagonist Jim Sturges is also completely out of his own interpretation style, even with the pearls of Jack Gyllenhaal in front of the moving performance, the chemical changes between him and Anne Hathaway, the brilliance that blooms in the film is not lost, and it has not been covered up.
Perhaps because the story of the two movies is completely different, the two in "One Day", the kind of lovers from young ignorance, to experience the ups and downs of life emotional opponent play interpretation vividly, each paragraph makes people look moving, youth, there is the beauty of youth, maturity, there is maturity to face the high and low tide of life.
The movie "One Day", the time trajectory of the story began in 2006, and then turned, the time went back to Scotland in 1988, the male and female protagonists Dexter and Emma were about to graduate from the campus, and the two and their classmates celebrated graduation on campus.
The male protagonist Dexter has no impression on Emma, thinking that the two are meeting for the first time, but he did not expect that the heroine Emma, who has long been in love with him, told the story of the encounter between the two and the past that mistook her for Tilly, so the two had their first formal introduction to each other.
Dexter, who was full of sperm, also quickly put the first date of the two from the campus, talked about the passion in bed, and could not be successfully reached, but the local festival on July 15 the next day also began the love journey of the two who would see each other every year and be entangled in love for twenty years.
The film seems to be based on love on the surface, but in fact, it also touches on the changes in human nature, including family affection and friendship, from the evolution of the male protagonist's family relationship to his own marriage and daughter later, the emotions between parents and husbands and wives, and the friendship from the simplicity of school to the complexity of entering society, and then adding the paradox and ups and downs of marital fidelity.
The director and screenwriter let the audience see each role, a deeper inner barrier of human nature, in the face of the pain given by the beloved, the director uses many groups of actors of similar age or different eras in the film to interpret different reactions to the same thing.
Including the loss of family affection, love, etc., on the one hand, let people see the reaction contrast of human nature, but also let the audience further think, if things happen to themselves, what kind of reactions and choices will there be?
I especially like the twists and turns in the film that touch on family affection, especially Patricia Clarkson, who plays the male protagonist Dexter's mother Alison, who has a wealth of acting experience, has a good face and elegant temperament, and shows a mother's love and concern for her son in the film.
There are many humorous, wise and warm dialogues between the two, which make people smile but slightly sentimental, especially those few scenes where she already knows that she is sick, not far from the day of the big death, seeing her son who has gone astray, wanting to wake him up and not being harsh, and the dialogue is deeply touching.
Human nature fluctuates and loves entanglements, the world is impermanent, true love is difficult, heaven, often let true love, a moment in the lover's eye rendezvous, but the lovers to exhaust almost half of their lives to complete the appearance of true love; perhaps the lovers in true love, in the face of the light and light, still turn around without regret, only to leave half a life of regret, and a lifetime of suspense.
Between love and non-love, often people are overwhelmed, but also make people feel helpless, until the arrival of "that day", lovers in the trance, see their true love or hesitation, or the courage to go forward without hesitation, but the beloved son of heaven or the goddess of heaven, where is it?
The above is my personal impression of the movie, if you are interested, please give me a little opinion, if you feel unpleasant, you are also welcome to shoot bricks! Thank you
