Camelot, the first lady herself

Because it is starring Natalie Portman, America's favorite actress, and it tells the story of the well-mannered first lady, full of expectations. However, the first lady in the movie's obsession with rights and status cannot make people feel good. I don't know whether she is obsessed with being the husband of the president or the president of her husband. The First Lady, who has also been a reporter, knows what reporters and readers expect, and asks reporters to record only perfection. That Camelot doesn't seem to be a metaphor for the president, but the first lady herself.

    Love the feel of a play within a play, Natalie did a great job. The film has a feeling of whitewashing. If you don't check the gossip, you would think that the two of them were in love before. Inexplicably thinking of a gunshot in Berkeley late at night one day, my roommate sighed with emotion, what is the use of reading so many books, it is not worth a bullet.

    It was a great performance, although the bitterness scenes were a bit too much. The relationship between Jackie and JFK's younger brother is also very subtle. The marriage between the Kennedys is actually very complicated. Neither of them slept in the same room the night before they were assassinated. The biographical film will inevitably be too respectful and suspected of whitewashing, but it can be seen that this is a story about a mother. The mother of a family is also the mother of a country. In the face of history, everyone is small and powerless.

Jackie quotes

  • Jackie Kennedy: There are two kinds of women, those who want power in the world and those who want power in bed.

  • The Priest: There comes a time in man's search for meaning when one realises that there are no answers. And when you come to that horrible, unavoidable realization, you accept it or you kill yourself. Or you simply stop searching... I have lived a blessed life. And yet every night, when I climb into bed, turn off the lights, and stare in to the dark, I wonder... Is this all there is?

    Jackie Kennedy: You wonder?

    The Priest: Every soul on this planet does. But then, when morning comes, we all wake up and make a pot of coffee.

    Jackie Kennedy: Why do we bother?

    The Priest: Because we do. You did this morning, you will again tomorrow. But God, in his infinite wisdom, has made sure it is just enough for us.
