The loneliness and imprisonment of genius. Love and jealousy between sisters. The red shoes of fate.

Emily Watson is a great actor with that kind of Tianshan Tongmao temperament. Paranoid pure brutality. "She's Lonely Than Fireworks" is a novel by Yi Shu, and it is indeed a stroke of genius to borrow it here.

The film touches on the three human entanglements that interest me the most. The loneliness and imprisonment of genius. Love and jealousy between sisters. The red shoes of fate.

Compared with "Rose Life", it is more delicate and cruel. Without such a twist of fate as a plane crash, all Jackie's tragedies are inherently doomed. Those gorgeous, but in fact, red cast iron dancing shoes were sticking to her feet from birth.

It's one of the few biopics that hasn't been stole the show by a supporting cast. Because the main character is crazy. She is like a flaming hedgehog, desperately approaching and possessing everything she loves, hurting others as well as herself. She wants all happiness to belong to herself, even if it has nothing to do with her, she has to snatch it wildly.

Her biggest flaw is that she doesn't know how to give. Giving is a necessary path to happiness.

When I watched it for the first time, I understood her love for her sister, her uncontrollable possessiveness. Jackie's love represents taking.
When I watched it for the second time, what I sighed even more was my sister's love for her, an ordinary sister who tried her best to restrain her jealousy and sadness. Hilary's motherhood and inclusion are more noble. Her love represents giving.

The world loves her. In the end Jackie suffered from multiple sclerosis and was completely paralyzed. Can only be surrounded by the symphony orchestra, trying to beat the snare drum. However, the applause of the audience is still crazy.

Compared with the bleak reality that many superstars are twilight and no one applauds, at this moment, a myth has been achieved, and mortals such as me are envious.

The world loves her so much.
Loneliness is not about not being loved. Parents, sister, brother-in-law, lover, the whole world, Jacky received the most abundant love a person can have. But the emptiness inside kept consuming her. The never-ending hunger pierced through her soul.
Maybe Jackie traded "satisfaction" for talent with the devil when he was young.

    It can be said that I don't like this film very much, and the truth of human nature cannot be explained.

    There may be another me in the world, living a life diametrically opposed to mine. I may not be able to experience what she's going through, but she can't feel what I'm feeling either. We're always chasing what we can't get. everything will be fine~
