There is no doubt that the only reason to watch this film is the appearance of Blake Lively. So when I watched it for the first time, I was looking at her lens and inevitably complained that there were only three clips and I felt unsatisfied.
Krista's appearance was sexy and seductive, with a hint of dust at the end, but she had to betray the man he loves in a panic. What is the meaning of this role?
The first clip is that she and her ex-boyfriend meet again in a messy tavern to chat. It is not difficult to find from the conversation between the two that K is a woman who is accustomed to tit-for-tat and resolutely does not allow her to be assaulted. At the same time, there were bursts of ambiguous aura in her words, even though the ex-boyfriend did not show any signs of remaining affection for her. Then she took the initiative to come to XXOO with her ex-boyfriend. At this point in the story, the director wants us to know that the protagonist is an attractive man and his ex-girlfriend reignited the fire soon after reuniting with his ex-girlfriend, or that love has never stopped. And Krista's bohemianness also contrasts sharply with the heroine's traditional gentleness.
Later, at the FBI's regular meeting, it can be learned that K is Jem's younger sister, so she also plays a non-negligible role in the drug robbery.
So FBI detectives found her. The footage of the two in another dim and noisy tavern can be called to invite Jun into the urn. In just a few words of dialogue, the detective understood that K was not a shrewd and scheming woman. He directly pointed out that K was involved in drug trafficking, and K went from being proud and frivolous at the beginning of the conversation to looking surprised and solemn at the end, indirectly affirming this. It's the fact. The detective didn't know enough. The last few words also implied that the man she loved was not in her heart. In addition, the detective knows the importance of his daughter to K.
K went to find the hero and forcefully left his scene to fully discover Blake's acting skills. K asked to leave with him and even expressed his willingness to change. The male lead said that he would leave with others. Although he knew in advance that the man was in love with other people, the sentence "I'm leaving with someone else" was still too straightforward and cold for K. In the subsequent fierce quarrel, the male protagonist pushed the tearful K out of the door. The phrase "Don't you dare say no to me" when K was locked outside was full of anger and hatred.
Probably the feeling of anger caused K's car accident. In the hospital, police detectives came to her, and it didn't take long for the FBI, who knew her deadly spot, to defeat the tyrannical K's psychological defense. For the sake of the young daughter's perhaps revenge against D, K finally revealed their plan.
At this point, K's plot is over.
From this point of view, K’s leak was an important reason for the failure of the last robbery. If she has elements of revenge, then she succeeded. The man she loved failed to leave with another woman.
In fact, I feel that the role of Krista is not successful enough. She seems to lack something, such as love for the hero. The previous article said that her love for the male lead was based on her determination to retain the male lead. But her determination seemed a bit abrupt and could not stand scrutiny. The previous plot did not give her this firm and sufficient reason. This should be one of the flaws of the entire movie.
Blake once mentioned in an interview that he likes to disappear behind the character. She also said that as soon as she saw this character, she thought it belonged to her. After an excellent audition, she naturally took over the role.
From the aristocratic queen S dumped by thousands of people in the Upper East Side to the glamorous unmarried mother who sells drugs, Blake's screen image has taken a big turn. I really appreciate her spirit of daring to challenge. As for her performance, it can be said to be very good. She convinced me that there is no second person more suitable for this role.
After writing this layman’s film review with strong personal preferences, I feel much more at ease. Ok. Everything is still very promising. At the same time, look forward to Blake's Green Lantern.
