      "Can You Forgive Me": Confessions of a Lonely Man

      The experience of the heroine in this film is easy to resonate with film critics (all those who make a living), just like "Birdman" resonated with many actors back then, and it is bound to be highly praised. The reason is simple, everyone likes to read the stories of losers who are struggling in life, which makes people who have similar experiences somewhat comforting: Fortunately, I am not alone in the struggle.

      Ordinary people's occasional adventures and evil comments on the 2018 movie "Can you ever forgive me"

      Lee Israel is an outlier among the general population: a sloppy alcoholic with a snarky temper, a writer who's written a book or two, and a New York mom who's not paying her bills. By chance, she discovered that she has the ability and opportunity to forge letters from great literati, and the most important thing is to be able to feed herself and the cats at home. In more than a year, she "authored" 400 letters, and she even used the street ghost Jack to run errands for herself, until the...

      can you forgive me?

      More important than the experience itself is the comprehension of the experience, and the attitude is the reflection of the comprehension. To be able to ask such a sentence, in fact, whether there is an answer or not, and what the answer is, is no longer important, because the protagonist has been liberated from his comprehension and reconciled with himself first.

      Going back to the movie, it's a biography of a real person, and engaging drama requires conflict and contradictions full of...

      The sad life of ordinary people

      There are a few interesting character conflicts in this movie.

      It's interesting to see how an autobiography that looks like a whitewash in crime could be turned into a film.

      Many of the writers mentioned in the book are unknown to most people, and in high society a letter can be sold for a good price.

      I don't know how many people in the new generation will watch it in the country like Acheng...

      Forgive my loneliness, anger and inability to love

      How many people dare to calmly face their loneliness, lack of money and leisure?

      How many people are good at getting along with themselves, with cats, and writing to express their cynicism.

      This is how the unknown New York writer Lee Israel lived a bleak and short life. The 48-year-old comedian Melissa McCarthy plays the little-known 51-year-old middle-aged female writer Lee Israel, and the characters are presented in a relaxed manner; Lee's spiritual world constructed by...

      Creation and forgery are contradictory, autobiographical stories of down-and-out writers committing crimes in order to survive. The soundtrack is literary and artistic, and under the melancholy life atmosphere, I can't hate this character and feel sympathy for...

      The structure is ok, the plot is loose, the photography is featureless, but the lines of the letter are imitated. The heroine is facialized... (it's not that the acting is facialized, it's that the character setting is too facialized)...the male supporting role is too eye-catching (not to steal the show, the performance is superb and in...

      In the life of mourning, money is also mourned. To die is to deny yourself. In addition to money, the protagonist uses such a distorted way to deny himself in a way of gaining affirmation. Of course, there is such a strange woman in this world, and there is also her cuteness. Just like the supporting role, you want to strangle him, but you can't bear him. That last look is one of the best in movie...

    Movie plot

    Lee Iselier was originally an excellent biographer. She has published several books, and her works have been on the authoritative best-selling list, but because she is unwilling to give in to the market, she does not like to promote herself in and out of her works, so that her works The sales situation was poor, and the publisher was therefore reluctant to cooperate with her anymore. In order to earn a living, she changed career many...

    Melissa McCarthy’s performance in the film does not make people feel the traces of exaggeration, but simple, delicate, and quite restrained, just like the style of the whole film, delicate and quiet, a bit like the 1940s and 50s. old movie. The most successful part of the film is to show the audience the inner world of the two people, allowing people to understand how the two went deeper and deeper on this fraudulent road.  .
