      Two Lovers: He is a very Affectionate Man

      He is a very affectionate person.

      In life, I like magic, photography, can dance, and amuse others, although I have been trying to commit suicide. Maybe it's because I can't kill the little boy in my heart. Sometimes I feel that growing up is killing the child in my heart, and those who do not want to grow up are those who are soft-hearted and unwilling to start. He is one of them. (This analogy is not very appropriate. It should be said that you must grow up before you can protect the...

      Candy you can't get

      You cry with happiness, and you cover the emotions that flow through your heart with happiness. You thought you got it all: a marriage proposal, a ring, a "i love you" from a man you love,

      but you don't even know that his ring is for a man It was prepared by a woman who didn't need it. His marriage proposal was for his family, career, and a helpless and bitter choice. His tears were shed for the woman who loved others but not him~~~ In

      the rest of his life, no matter what...

      All people in love are sensitive

      After every dream is shattered, we finally seize and convince ourselves to choose a rational way out. Such a choice contains sincerity in helplessness, and there is always unwillingness lurking below the determination. Facing people's hearts rationally can only be an afterthought to pick up the pieces.
              The enchantment and horror of feelings are based on this unpredictable point, there is no explanation and no explanation. We can convince ourselves to choose the most optimal life...

      What a desperate "reason"

      I still read the movie review after watching the movie, I thought it would be full of complaints! But no one has yet praised the end-handling victory!
      If leonard is rational then; rationality is a weak compromise, sober after despair, but who knows where the real despair is? If Michelle chooses leonard, leonard will definitely go, without hesitation, what is this! What a failure at the end, such a childish self-redemption, self-righteous happiness is just a prelude to madness to death. How...

      Online gossip, reality is better than movies

      The owner of a wedding company told me! Absolutely true!
      It was not a busy day, so the boss drove the first car by himself, and the tail car also belonged to his company.
      The groom went upstairs to pick up the bride from more than 7 o'clock, and didn't come down at 11 o'clock!
      The boss is angry! Go up and have a look....
      The bride is picking up the groom! Said that he was optimistic about a large LCD TV before, but the groom did not buy it, so he should buy it now! The groom...

      The Russian-speaking Gray returned to his line of work. The film was White Night, which gave the male protagonist more tenderness and compassion than in White Night, and also gave these lovers a more sad ending: Leonard lost the beautiful ghost in his dreams, and Michelle was willing to fall back into the tangle Soap Opera Trap, and Sandra gets the man who can't pick up someone's broken heart, and the ring that holds his old dreams forever. Joaquin has given the most gentle and delicate...

    Creative background

    Before "Two Lovers", the three films directed by James Gray were crime thrillers. In order to separate himself from crime films, and at the same time, because of his desire to experiment with different themes, James Gray decided to shoot a feature film that specifically explores love, and put all his attention on the emotional. Extend on.
    James Gray was inspired by Dostoevsky's novel "White Night". This novel tells the story of a lonely...

    Evaluation action

    "Two Lovers" has the flavor of a romantic movie in terms of camera use, narrative rhythm and soundtrack. The film abandoned the crazy comedy school style represented by Judd Apato, nor did it hide huge political ambitions, nor did it join the exciting background such as the world war. However, the film was ultimately successful. The script of the film in one go, coupled with the assistance of the environment and set designer Michael...
