Money, Fame and Love

The most intuitive feeling: Amy Adams is too beautiful! The costumes in the film also tell the story of a London governess named Pattigrew who lost her job because of being deliberately made things difficult by her employer, and then she met a star by chance and became her personal assistant. . Who would have thought that an unemployed middle-aged maid living on the streets of Britain before World War II could save a girl and her love and life in one day? The confusion of star girls is very simple: love, money and fame, I don't know which one to choose, on the one hand, there is the opportunity to help themselves to be cast in drama, on the other hand, there is a luxurious villa and countless beautiful clothes, and on the other hand, sincere love. She was young, she was sloppy, she made mistakes. Of course, everyone makes mistakes, everyone struggles to find their place in real life, and this pursuit often makes us forget ourselves. While trying to adapt to the world, we inadvertently lose our nature, and that adaptation comes at a high price. Fortunately, in the end, the girl chose to honor the most simple emotions in her heart. The film may want to tell us a lip-smacking truth: you may lose everything, but you gain the whole world.
