Looking at the cast list, Jeremy Irons and Sean Evans came, but they both played scumbags, but the son who saw everything and Lan Yan who silently supported the most poignant.

At first, I didn't expect this to be a retro movie from the 1930s and 1940s, which almost caused discomfort, but I fell in love with the music costume completely. London in 1938, a theatre full of pomp and circumstance, actresses who are tired of the status quo, ambitious young people... Just these elements know what to expect when they come out.

Sean Evans plays TOM is really arrogant and hateful. Relying on her young beauty, she recklessly expresses her love for Julia. After hooking up, she uses her mouth but still says no, and when she is addicted to it, she quickly withdraws and falls in love with another. a young actor. And Julia, who can say what about her? Tired of life in the bright reality on the stage. The housekeeper should be the closest person to her. Her daily life is very dull. She takes naps every day, takes skin care exercises, and sometimes socializes with some inexplicable people. After Xiao Young appears, she falls in love like a new born. And mood ups and downs, and even affect their performance career. Regarding Tom, I don't believe her husband didn't notice it. It should be the acquiescence of both parties. The marriage has become a habit at that stage. Tired of that person's divorce cost is too high, both parties need to change their tastes from time to time to adjust their mood.

The first half is a bit frustrating, no one likes a middle-aged woman who is in love and lost herself, especially when they go on vacation, she cried and questioned after finding out Tom and another young woman. Look straight. Then she calmed down, recommended the young actor, learned from her son that her husband was cheating, and then to the last scene, it was not too exciting. Her awakening, her revenge, the whole person is shining, whether on stage or off.

Being Julia, who doesn't want to be Julia? Become famous at a young age, have superb acting skills, have a suitable marriage and a young lover, and be able to fight back when your career, love and marriage are in crisis, not to mention a gentle blue face and a black-bellied son. Life should not be too perfect. There are two very interesting sentences in it. The son said to her, "You have a set of acting skills for everyone, and I don't feel that you really exist." At the end, the self represented by Michael Okamoto also said, "The theater is your only one. Real, the real world in the rest of the general population is nothing but an illusion". For a famous actress like Julia, the reality is on stage, and life off stage is nothing but a game. Getting married and cheating can be related to acting. What you think is real is just what you think it is. What you want to live should not be determined by reality, but by yourself.

I just started reading "The Moon and Sixpence" recently, and I love Maugham's sharp language of watching everything, inadvertently telling the truth. This movie is adapted from his "Theatre Style", and there are novels to read.

    This is the difference between people and drama. Somerset Maugham's "Theatre".
