The tango in the film is the most beautiful I've seen since "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". If the dance of Al Pacino is somewhat smeared with the light of the dance music Pur Una Cabeza, then the dance of Jim (Colin Firth) is the queen of the alien race who was criticized by the knight's guard, and it is the bright, brave and sincere spirit of the old world. A momentary flash of that side. This is shocking and immoral in the eyes of the big guy. If you are Chinese, you will spit on the ground, and squeeze out the words "Pick the dust!" from the gap between your teeth. It is indeed a mutual sympathy, a dance of love.
Did it end unexpectedly? not at all. Jim was the only real person in this fake family, and Larita came in and became the second. It was only between her and Jim that there was normal, easy, honest communication. And at the critical moment, Jim's standing up to protect him was nothing but the sublimation of those caring eyes from before. John (Ben Barnes) is a fart. When his wife was not accepted by his family, he turned to pursue his own child, Sarah. When Larita was further criticized and rejected by the entire social circle, he ruthlessly refused. Dancing with wife, shameful betrayal, villain! He doesn't deserve Larita's love, and even Philip deserves more than him.
Watching this film requires concentration from the very beginning, because the title cuts right into the plot. When I watched it for the second time, I had the opportunity to listen carefully to Mad About The Boy with the voice of the female lead. Later Jim also asked Larita (Jessica Biel) why he married his son John. Comparing Larita's answer with the lyrics of this song, which is the real Larita?
My mother-in-law's name is Veronica (Kristin Scott Thomas), which is exactly the same as my usual impression. This is really a name that is only 13 years old. Remember "Keep Silence"? Kristin's shoes never disappoint.
Surprisingly, Detroit chick Larita dresses nicely, with no gasoline or automatism at all. It reminds me of Quentin's vulgar white suit on Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds, gorgeous self-deprecation.
Small details of Can't be more English:
[3:19] Younger daughter Hilda cuts the photo of Larita on the front page while Jim is reading the second page... think about it. Then Jim lazily reads page 3 of the newspaper where his daughter had cut a hole. This Hilda was too keen to stuff herself with all sorts of horrific and meaningless so-called news.
[4:46] "It might be an awkward meal. For all we know Sarah's grazing in greener pastures. Marion, the eldest daughter, has something to say about Sarah, which seems to be approved by her mother. How hypocritical, with Larita, they Always trying to get John and Larita to divorce and marry Sarah, but it looks like they don't really like Sarah. Or, they don't really like either.
[6:20] Velonica pulls the bell until the rope snaps. The mania seems to continue [ 7:53
] The housekeeper Furber (Kris Marshall) calmly caught the telescope that Hilda dropped from the upstairs, put it away, and handed it to the host.
[8:12] Velonica - "Smile, Marion!" " Marion - "I don't feel like smiling." Jim - "You're English, dear. Fake it!"
【8: 36] The housekeeper whistles at Larita who gets out of the car. Later, Larita sat the puppy Pobby, and the housekeeper helped her hide the body; after Larita's previous incident was stabbed, the housekeeper said that he had also been arrested for bigamy; Jim sat in Larita's convertible BMW, and the housekeeper sent him off, saying that he was very happy. Happy to help spread the word... butler is cool.
