so-called love

The reason why I am willing to give "The Tourist" (I am still willing to call this film "The Tourist") five stars is because: 1. I am a fan of Jolie and Depp; 2. Venice is a beautiful city. , is simply a dream paradise.

However, as the film itself, it is still somewhat different from the original positioning. As a scenery film, this film is unique; as a solo show for Angie and Depp, this film is also fully capable. But as a romance movie, I feel that these two are just falling in love on the big screen. Maybe as a movie watcher in the movie theater, I would be very envious if I could have such a sexy Such an affectionate boyfriend is just fine, and off-screen, although the two already have a good personal relationship, they don't look like a couple no matter what. Whether Vanessa is jealous or not, the intersection of Julie and Depp seems to be in love for the sake of love, and the two have absolutely no spark when facing their respective families. On the other hand, in 2005's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the spark between Jolie and Pitt completely extended from the big screen to life. In the scene after a fierce kitchen battle, she poured him juice like the most ordinary wife, and he looked at her silently and affectionately like a husband. Those of us in the audience can feel that they are truly in love. Depp and Vanessa, who first fell in love in France, were together for a few years and Vanessa gave birth to two children for Depp, and Depp also gave Vanessa a yacht with her name on it as their love testimony. Love is something that requires meeting the right person at the right time to have a so-called chemical reaction.

As a thriller, the performance of this film really lacks the most basic thriller elements. From the beginning to the end, except for Depp's funny jokes in the film, it is still remarkable, the "laughing fruit" is remarkable, and there is no sense of horror at all. Maybe that's why the Golden Globes nominated Jolie for best actress in a comedy.

I know that when it comes to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", many people will revisit old stories and dig out the old jokes of Julie's husband. But after all, it has been so long since the children are crawling all over the floor, and those who need to make soy sauce can go to make soy sauce. Let this romantic past pass.

    It's not as bad as the legend, but it's not good-looking, but I like the atmosphere of the first half, and the second half is just a random shot. I like the character of Depp.

The Tourist quotes

  • The Englishman: [as he is restrained] I'm just a tourist. Just a tourist. He said I might get arrested at some point

    Acheson: [taking the passport] What?

    The Englishman: But then you'd have to let me go because you have nothing on me.

    Chief Inspector Jones: Who?

    The Englishman: The man that's been sending me these texts

    [holding out his phone]

    Acheson: [taking the phone] Texts?

    The Englishman: And the money, of course.

    Acheson: [looking through the texts in the phone] Let me get this straight, because I'm a little confused. You received money from a man you've never met before, who sends you text messages telling you just to show up somewhere?

    The Englishman: [wistfully looking around Venice] Well, not just anywhere.

  • Elise: [as she reads the letter from Pearce] Elise, you have no reason to trust me anymore, but give me a chance to explain myself. I know the police are watching you. We have to throw them off the trail. Board the eight-twenty-two, the Gare de Lyon, pick someone my height and build and make them believe it is me. Burn this letter. It is important you follow my instructions precisely. I love you, Alexander.
