"Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool" under the appearance of femme fatale, is a little girl who believes in love

"Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool" is adapted from a memoir written by Gloria Grahame, played by American Beauty as the last lover-British actor Peter Turner, played by Jamie Bell.

Gloria Graham is not only the heroine of this relationship between young and old, but also a well-known Hollywood actress in the 1940s. Because of her glamorous appearance, she is often featured in film noir films with the theme of contradiction between good and evil and the interweaving of love and hatred. ), played a beautiful and dangerous role, and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Even though the emotional life in and out of the scene always causes controversy, Gloria and Peter are purely in love with each other, but the love affair with a difference of 29 years is put on the big screen, even if Gloria was once a magnificent beauty. The porn star is still a "mature girl" who is nearly 60 years old. In the continuous plot of this kissing scene, can the scene bring out the beauty of love without being detached from reality?

Annette Banning clearly proves that charm and age are not equal. Without concealing the fat and wrinkles left by the years, the self-confident, exquisite and sultry figure, the cute and flirting tongue movements, undoubtedly show the sexy temperament of a woman, and people can't help but fall in love with it.

To be honest, the number of kissing scenes of the young couple in love is beyond expectation (imagine the scene of a 60-year-old woman next to him suddenly kissing), and what is even more surprising is that this couple who can play mother and child at all does not lose to the average when it comes to love. The romance of love movies!

Gloria Graham Mottled Nail Polish

For people who don’t know Gloria Graham, "Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool" may be just an epic love story, but the memoir of heart-abuse also records the story of a movie superstar being abandoned by the times. desolate. Regardless of her posture and mentality, Gloria is always ready for a role that does not know when she will arrive. She is willing to turn from a movie star to a stage actor and never miss any chances to appear on stage. It's just that the mottled nail polish suggests that the star's aura is long gone. No longer exists, the ruthless years will eventually leave traces, even if it is a joke, it will be unbearable. (Girls usually have standard answers when they ask you questions, understand Peter!)

As the two timelines interlaced, the reasons for the breakup that year have gradually been spelled out. From Peter's perspective, Gloria looks like a woman who is suddenly tired of playing in love. Cold and unreasonable is the reason for the two people's quarrel and breakup-although the horn of the ambulance coming from outside the window has hinted the reason.

Cut into the memory again, we see that Gloria is sad and overwhelmed by the complex emotions, hesitating about whether to tell the truth, but taking into account Peter's future and future, these feelings are completely hidden by the acting skills as an actor ( Whether it is Annette Banning or Gloria Graham), the tears in her eyes are the unforgivable hurt of the other party, and it is also the true love that chooses to endure everything. The feelings that Peter didn't know were all seen in our eyes and grasped in our hearts.

Jamie Bell, who plays Peter Turner, has a remarkable performance, but Annette Bening's light shines throughout the movie. Let alone the feminine soft voice that confuses people, from the heart of a girl in love to the weak and panic, the wayward and strong Pretending to be strong, you can hear it from the sound when you can't see the expression, and you can learn from the natural emotions of the silent scene.

Those scenes that flashed repeatedly in the film have ulterior motives──

Many objects and scenes in the movie are arranged with the meaning they represent or strengthen: the high heels that have been worn out but placed in the suitcase, the figure of Gloria reflected in the lover’s sunglasses, Romeo and Juliet, who talk about each other’s love, Among them, there is one more common and highly repetitive element that will not be noticed for a while: the "door".

Peter opened the door of his house and walked into the scene of his first encounter in 1979. When the camera turned back to 1981, the laughter sounded like an ear, but the reality was cruel and distressing. Whether it’s the door of the first meeting and acceptance of the invitation, the door of the bedroom that separated the two after a dispute, or the door of Peter’s forever farewell car, the opening and closing of each door brings encounter, love, sadness and Goodbye.
