"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.

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...

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...

There are a few interesting character conflicts in this movie.

2 buddy jack

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...

Dedicated to cultivating the literary world for half a lifetime, but unable to fight against the wandering net red, and having no choice but to commit crimes for a living, is the tragedy of the...
Lee Israel: [Finishing her drink at the bar] I need another.
Craig: That's debatable.
Marjorie: Nobody wants a book about Fanny Brice. There's nothing new and sexy about Fanny Brice. Nobody will give you a ten dollar advance for a book about Fanny Brice!
Gossipy Office Worker: [first lines: as Lee drinks whiskey at her desk] I swear she's older than my mom.
Cubicle Worker: Fuck, kill me if I'm still doing this at her age.
Lee Israel: Kill you now if you ask me nicely.
