The reason for wanting to write this is the same as my review of this book. The short review has no way to satisfy my desire to continue to talk about the feeling of being cheated. So I decided to keep a diary.
[Translated cover]
This is the cover of the book. First of all, please allow me to spit out this translation that doesn't match the original book name at all - "Being a Girl All Your Life"! I really don't know if the person who translates this title is wrong. Eat, pray, love, these three words are beautiful words in English even if they are separated separately! It is estimated that the translator's brain was smothered by Italian cheesecake. Well, that wouldn't be an insult to Italian cheesecake.
When I saw the three words eat pray love in Xinhua Bookstore, I picked it up and read it without hesitation. The more I watched it, the more addicted it became, and I just sat on the stairs with it until I finished the chapter on Italy and went foraging. I have been obsessed with this book ever since.
So when I got home, I looked for online reading. Well, after reading it I found out that I didn't like this book. Everything in the back about India about Bali has no idea of benefit except that the author is neurotic. According to the 2/8 rule, only 20% of what this book has worked for me is just everything about food and Italy. 【A life without food is an incomplete and unpleasant life! ] And on second thought, I liked that chapter, not because of the grammar and not because of the plot, but because precisely I liked Italy.
My obsessive-compulsive disorder is evident in this book. I think it may be the translator's problem, so I don't like such a story about a middle-aged woman with various kinds of petty bourgeoisie and all kinds of literature and art with mental problems looking for strength everywhere. So I continued the pain in my eggs and downloaded the adapted movie to watch. I deliberately found the Taiwan version of the poster, because that translated name is relatively normal. Being a girl for a lifetime can really be thrown into the Arctic Ocean without even thinking about it, who is it?
[Movie]
Yes, the girl on the cover is our heroine.
I don't want to be too picky about the actors, anyway, it's not a good thing to always be picky. The thing that bothers me the most is the screenwriter. He deleted the keep that should be deleted, and deleted everything that should not be deleted. I really like a plot in the book, the heroine thinks that she doesn't want children, she doesn't want marriage, so she wants to divorce her husband who has been with her for seven years, but her husband is very hit and refuses to sign the divorce agreement, even she Promise to give him everything you have. Later, she discussed this matter with her friend in the car, and she was very down. Her best friend comforted her, and then fantasized that a whole bunch of people agreed. Just driving there, the two of them yelled at the President of the United States to sign it like idiots! John Lennon signed! Kurt signed! A large number of messy people were popped out of her mouth. Then she got home and her lawyer called her to say her husband had finally signed. I love this scene so much, the crazier everything is, the more likely it is to create those things that you crave. But the screenwriter just deleted it, just one sentence: he signed it. All kinds of heartbreak.
While she was in India, I was already leisurely opening my inbox and texting my friends about getting together next week. It's not because I've read the book that I'm not interested in those plots that are as long as the Shroud. The taste is wrong, and the narrative angle is wrong. I was starting to get a little irritable by then. I rarely get irritable watching movies. No matter how bad the movie is, I can watch it patiently. oh, there are exceptions. I just watched half of "Hee You Ji" and I couldn't help it and walked out of the movie theater. You've wasted money, no need to waste any more time. I didn't cut off this movie directly, but calmly fast-forward fast-forward fast-forward. oh babe, I finally saw the ending, isn't it because you fell in love again in Bali.
[Original novel]
I said that this book triggered my obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Because I bought the English version of this book online and came back. I can't believe that the person who made me fall in love at first sight was a jerk, you know that feeling? People don't always believe that the person they like is an asshole. It wasn't until the bastard repeatedly showed his true nature that he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: I already knew you were a bastard!
What a weird thought.
I bought it back, oh dear~ It must be praised, oh dear~
pia!!!!!! What is the praise? I feel that I am still aggrieved in the middle of the review!
It took me one morning to read the original novel. The suffocation of eating dead flies lingers.
It turns out that it is not really a problem of various versions! It's not a matter of my reading taste at all! Many people say that this book is very good and suitable for women to figure out. Not afraid to pour cold water, how many people will have enough money to travel for a year? So, it's a fairy tale. Maybe this book fueled my hatred of the rich to some extent. Rich people, I don't want to be married, can get divorced chicly. I still remember what her husband said in the movie, he always felt that he had to keep his marriage vows until the moment before his death. I can't say that the heroine doesn't have any sense of responsibility, she has a sense of responsibility, she realizes that her life can't end like this. She was very responsible for herself, but she didn't realize that when she got married, her life was actually tied up with another man. To be honest, I'm quite jealous of her mentality. I don't know if I will have the courage to be like her when I get married and find out that the person sleeping next to me is not the one I want, or if I suddenly realize that this life is not what I dreamed of one night, Cut off everything that shouldn't be there, to find the unknown.
I'm not rich, I can't go to travel for a year, live in the city I like, and learn the language I like when I see my life sticking like a sticky paste after a divorce. . Rich people can have various petty bourgeoisie, can travel, and can enjoy delicious food. Ordinary people, on the other hand, can only cry in the middle of the night with their pillows in their arms, clenching their teeth and daring not to cry loudly, for fear of waking up their parents downstairs. The next day I woke up, looking at my swollen eyes in the mirror, thinking about how to cover it up, and thinking about it, I would cry again. This is weakness I know. But how can it be done? To become strong, you must at least have financial resources.
In a word, the economic base determines the superstructure. Rich people mess around with rich people's lives, while ordinary people think about how to be rich
