no one really touches your heart,
and then you meet one person, and
your life will change forever." - Jamie
This is the provocative monologue of the actor Jake Gyllenhaal at the end of the film. To be honest, this kind of popular declaration of love seems really popular now, but in the 90s of last century, when sending messages with a BP machine in hand, the love concept of young couples was still very pure, and Jamie would carry it on a snowy day. The suitcase is devastated, and will drive the 911 to chase Maggie's bus, will stay up all night waiting for Maggie to come back to confess, and will wake up after watching the videotape. . . Although the plot is still a little naive, but if you think the director is to reflect the love of the pure age, don't be so picky. When you look at it as an adult fairy tale, your mood can be relaxed.
Anne Hathaway and Jimmy Gyllenhaal played a couple in "Brokeback Mountain", but neither of them made a big splash in the film industry at the time. Anne Hathaway plays a good wife who loves her husband, Jimmy Gyllenhaal Erze and Heath Ledger fought hotly, so they didn't play much against each other. In "Love and Elixir", the two are not young, straight to the theme, there is no lack of large-scale and heavy taste, but these are not the focus.
When Maggie found Jamie waiting for her silently all night, when Jamie clenched Maggie's fingers that had been trembling slightly because of Parkinson's, when Jamie took Maggie around to seek medical treatment, it was a lie that Maggie was not moved. But when Maggie couldn't hold the bottle and cried, when Jamie heard Parkinson's family telling him how much responsibility he had to take care of the patient, when Maggie calmly said that Jamie should leave, it was a lie that Jamie didn't waver. At this time, the videotape bravely stood up as a love elixir, and this time they finally got married without any barriers.
Think of it as a love inspirational film, the performance of this film is quite in place.
Think of it as a workplace struggle film. Jamie earned money and was promoted from selling antibiotics to Viagra, but his crazy behavior during training always felt more like a great satire on the sales industry.
Think of it as a healing tablet, and maybe Parkinson's patients will be disappointed, as if the disease is incurable or getting worse.
Although the male and female protagonists are not innocent, and they are extremists of one-night stands, they still play a romantic love game under the influence of the age of innocence.
Touching moment: It was at the end of the film when Maggie shook her fingers while recording a DV for Jamie.
Ridiculous lines: 1. Passerby A said to Jamie: "It's not a disease, it's just a Soviet novel." (Ha, satirizing the Soviet Union)
2. Jamie: Her condition is getting worse now. Doctor: Do you think it's a TV show? (Ha, satirizing the American drama)
Touching dialogue: M: I need you more than you need me. It's not fair. I have a place to go. J: You will arrive, I just have to carry you. M: I can't ask you to do this. J: You don't need to ask me.
Special highlight: The soundtrack and ending credits are great!
