Camelot

Different from the "craftsmanship" mentioned in other film reviews, what I saw in this film is a story of a woman who stood up strong and brave after experiencing a huge shock in her life.

Natalie Portman is my favorite actress. After her works such as "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", "Black Swan", "V for Vendetta" and that speech at Harvard University, I feel more and more that she is A thoughtful and independent woman. So as soon as she appeared in this movie, I was like seeing the real Jacqueline, the first lady whose husband was shot in the head next to her and died.

She was thin, dignified, strong and courageous. After her husband was assassinated, all she could think of and do was comfort her two children and do her best to hold a grand funeral for her husband that will be remembered forever. Of course, as a woman, she is also afraid. The former glory and status are gone, and she even needs to consider selling her property to ensure that her two children can finish college.

She also wanted to die, hoping that someone would end her life with a bullet like she did to her husband. But later, when she inevitably arrived at that epiphany moment, she found that even if what the poor pursued in her life was meaningless, as long as there was a brief shining moment, she was already in the Camelot that everyone yearned for .

    The script is very poor. It's like a little fresh chicken soup written by a literary fairy from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou who doesn't eat human fireworks while studying in a famous school There is a forced Portman mentality, too utilitarian, and the performance can be called a disaster. The director has a big misunderstanding of the sense of ceremony. I just entered the stage and thought it was Lou Ye cosplay wasting the night of instinctive work...

    The look and feel is not so good, the music is well done and slightly cheap. The cross-narration of the assassination scene and the funeral is good, and the direct headshot is still very shocking. Natalie Portman has many scenes, most of which are bitter scenes. The scenes are shy to the camera and pretending to smile, which is impressive. The performance is quite skillful and the traces of the acting are slightly heavy.

Jackie quotes

  • Jackie Kennedy: There are two kinds of women, those who want power in the world and those who want power in bed.

  • The Priest: There comes a time in man's search for meaning when one realises that there are no answers. And when you come to that horrible, unavoidable realization, you accept it or you kill yourself. Or you simply stop searching... I have lived a blessed life. And yet every night, when I climb into bed, turn off the lights, and stare in to the dark, I wonder... Is this all there is?

    Jackie Kennedy: You wonder?

    The Priest: Every soul on this planet does. But then, when morning comes, we all wake up and make a pot of coffee.

    Jackie Kennedy: Why do we bother?

    The Priest: Because we do. You did this morning, you will again tomorrow. But God, in his infinite wisdom, has made sure it is just enough for us.
