"elegy"

It is also a novel by Philip Roth and adapted by Nicholas Meyer. The same many excellent actors are also based on old and young love as the main line, and there will also be doubts about whether the roles are suitable. But "Elegy" is purer than "The Human Stain" because it is less involved in other issues (such as race), and Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz are more than Anthony Hope The combination of Kings and Nicole Kidman (one too old, one too cold) clearly has more of a mutual "sexual" attraction and sparks a lot. In particular, Ben Kingsley's portrayal of characters is simply amazing, and he has never been imagined with such a character.

However, as far as the whole film is concerned, although the progress is natural, there is not much special feeling, because there are many such films, and the works of Philip Roth, who is known as the master of contemporary literature, do not seem to be suitable. Shooting into a movie, the audiovisual results may only be a superficial display.

But the rhythm of the whole movie is slow, the lines are beautiful, the characters are beautiful and moving, and the shots are quite expressive. It is a good movie.

Elegy quotes

  • David Kepesh: You know for a Pulitzer prize winning poet, sometimes you display a remarkable lack of imagination.

    George O'Hearn: That's why they gave me the fucking prize.

  • Carolyn: You're fucking other women. I had two husbands who fucked other women. I didn't like it then, I don't like it now, least of all with you. *You have everything with me, David. Pure fucking. No hidden agendas, no icky entanglements.* How could you do this? There aren't many like me.

    [David shakes head]

    Carolyn: I actually understand you. I'm one in a million.
