Behind the candlestick

I really like the name of this movie. It was Librazzi's idea to put candles on the piano, and the story that Librazzi tried to hide and didn't want to be known to the world is behind these candlesticks.
In fact, what the film tells is very similar to the movie biographies of stars shot in Hollywood in the past. Maybe Hollywood is tired of this kind of film, maybe they think the audience will not buy it, but it is indeed a big loss for Hollywood not to make this film. The one who longs for care and listening but always wants to own everything, the other who longs to be loved but cannot be treated equally, the story of these two men is destined to be sad, but Librach’s brilliance shines on the world, his "comrade" Identity and his domineering and contradictory psychology cast a mysterious color on this character and arouse everyone's curiosity.
This film has achieved the ultimate in restoring the style of the 7th and 80ths of the last century and the luxurious style of Li Braqi, and the description of Li Braqi's private life is also nuanced. I didn't expect that the middle-aged Matt Damon could still be so tender, but Michael Douglas made me a little sick. I originally wanted to give three stars, but the film’s art props and the hard work of the two actors deserved one star.

    No Ben Affleck in the label is unhappy

    Very regular biopic, but exceptionally beautiful, affectionate, and the scale is not as big as imagined. The two MDs still feel too straight...
