The Deep Blue Sea (2011)

First, let me make one point: THE Deep Blue Sea and Deep Blue Sea are two movies. Deep Blue Sea is about deep-sea genetically modified smart sharks, and THE Deep Blue Sea...is a woman's story.

The story is adapted from the 1955 version (off-topic: Vivien Leigh played the heroine at that time), the background of the era is roughly the 1940s and 1950s, the war is over, and Britain is slowly rising from the ruins. The name is also taken from a sentence at that time: "Trapped Between Infidelity and The Deep Blue Sea", in short, it is a dilemma, which is just used to describe the situation of the heroine.

Hester, in his thirties, was married to an old judge, William (the whole situation is quite Anna Karenina). He was fine in everything, and like-minded with his wife, but he was a little weaker and often made Hester feel lonely. To put it simply, this man, she respects, but does not love.

Just when she was depressed and couldn't vent, she met Freddie, a wartime air force with a strong personality, who always gave people a strong vitality, which was what she needed most in her life. She would fall in love with this man incomprehensible, but apart from love, this man can't really give her anything.

After living together, this man has different interests, is superficial, and doesn't know how to control his emotions. Hester has to comfort him like a mother from time to time. But like this kind of love, once you have tasted it, there is no way to go back.

In the end, he will only abandon himself on the cross street, at a loss.

The picture of this film also expresses this feeling everywhere, the feeling of loss, sadness and beauty. Especially Freddie & Hester in the small bar, listening to the scene of "You belong to me" is really beautiful. But so close, in the end can only be separated.

Although the picture is beautiful, the actors who made the picture take great credit. Rachel is always a weak willow Fufeng, coupled with a confused Yanshen, to liven up the look of a woman spinning around in pain. She was most energetic when she first met Freddie and was forced to go to "grandmother" for vacation. She could almost be described as high-spirited in love. She gained vitality from this relationship, but it was also the only joyous one. It's time.

TOM plays Freddie. Friends who have seen Thor or Avengers know him. He is the evil god LOKI. The first time I met him was Midnight in Paris. He played F Scott Fitzgerald, the author of "The Tycoon Biography" in the 1920s. When he appeared, there was no sense of incongruity. He was suitable for Period Drama. So in The Deep Blue Sea, his shape is still perfect, but his acting seems to be a bit eclipsed. Freddie is a man with a lot of ups and downs, a little neurotic, but TOM doesn't seem to be able to grasp the feeling of being too jumpy, and he yells blindly, which seems to be much worse than playing Loki in Avengers.

Simon plays the judge's husband William, a gentleman, generous and decent. After learning that his wife had cheated on him, his stunned expression immediately returned to normal. Although he was not the type to be angry and arrogant, he was... a little old man (actually funny compared to TOM), but whoever saw his stern eyes No heartache, who wouldn't be moved to see him deliver a SONNET in person at midnight? (I'm the heroine, it's better to go with him now than to take care of a big child).

But there are more than two men in the world, and Hester will always find a better one.
Just like the last scene, she saw out the window that ordinary people's families still had to live in the decline, yes.
Still have to live.
