Throwing away the perfect face of jude that I only paid attention to the first time, after watching alfie again, I have to say that this movie is not as unbearable as the film critics said, and it is definitely not.

/////////// is serious spoilers under the split line, although spoilers for this old movie may not be important //////


Alfie is a playboy and almost never sleeps on himself at night In my room, wearing a confident pink shirt, sweet talks to the neighbor’s old lady. Lingering with various types of women. Staying with the single mother named jolie for the time being.

Alfie thought he would spend his whole life in this way, but things changed overnight. The woman who lingered in his favorite position in the back seat of the car told him that she had given him a special gift.

He found the gift at Jolie, and he calmly threw it into the trash can without changing his face. But it was discovered after all. She threw the sexually explicit panties in front of him, and then closed the door.

His good friend fell in love with a woman, and he did go to the pool table with the sexy black (or the Americans to show that there is no racial discrimination, called African-Americans) on the billiard table while fainting; and This woman is the sweetheart of his friend.

The next day his friend gratefully asked alfie what he had done, which made the woman figure it out and came to him. Our love saint had no choice but to think about him, and naturally he was complacent.

But that woman is pregnant. They all knew that if this child was born with a trace of whiteness, then his friend's life would be fragmented. So they went to the clinic. She came out a few minutes later and wrapped her coat tightly. Alfie asked, how are you feeling now?
empty. A simple answer.
Alfie then began to discover his conscience.

The alternation of the two things made Alfie's psychophysical upset. He was in the bar and heard the talk of the strange girl: What is so good about that European man? So confidently threw a perfect smile. That smile turned all sentient beings upside down. He was still hunting for pornography, enjoying it, chattering endlessly, but at the most critical moment, he found that he was no longer able to do it.

A playboy ED is like a soldier without a gun. So he had to go to the hospital to be examined by the sissy doctor. The answer is not optimistic, he may have a lump there. My goodness, alfie must be broken.

Later, the results of the inspection proved to be a false alarm. Alfie decided to make some changes, of course, before the change, he will spend this idle Christmas. So the blonde Sienna Miller appeared on the stage, and the two began to enjoy themselves.

Christmas passed quickly, and the inferiority of alfie was on the rise again. He hated the woman wearing his pink shirt, painted the wall dazzling blue, and even a greeting made him tired. He felt that it was time to end. He said that as the distance was close, there would be no sense of beauty, but the woman in front of him was slicing a cucumber naked and brandishing a knife. Alfie's fond memories of her were shattered by herself.

So the two broke up. Alfie saw from the window sill that the woman got wet in the rainy night, dragged two boxes and moved out of his residence without going to stay.

Alfie started one of his change plans: to make money. He met LIZ, a wealthy middle-aged woman. LiZ is rich, chic, and full of taste, but she is actually interested in alfie, which makes him flattered, and he starts to think that maybe he is better than he thought. So another dangerous relationship began. Alfie seemed to enjoy it.

One day, Alfie met Jolie. Suddenly he thought why this woman would still attract her after breaking up, so he tried to ask her to start again. The man named Adam is the role of passerby, but he proved the fact that Jolie will not return to him.

Alfie goes to find his friends and the woman who was now a friend's wife with whom he had a one-night stand. He saw the child, and just one night was enough for Lantian to grow jade. When he was leaving the house, he met his friend, looked at him with sad eyes, and said, alfie, you never wanted to hurt anyone in the past, but in fact, you hurt.

Alfie drove the car away, then stopped on the road and began to cry. But he didn't know how to make up. All he could do was hit the window glass with his fists, and then left blankly.

Alfie was frustrated. So he carefully selected a bunch of flowers such as Huayu is sexy and beautiful, and sent them to LIZ, only to see another man in her room.
Because he is younger than you.
He heard LIZ's real but cruel explanation.

Alfie found the friend named joe he met in the hospital. He just wanted to confide, it might not matter who he was with, he kept confessing, he said that I only now know that women have paid so much for me but I have paid so little.
Joe said that in the future, he still needs to think about it before pulling down the trouser chain.

Finally, under the street lights at night, Alfie walked forward. What stretched out was a bleak shadow.



I used to call this film an idol drama before, because from the beginning to the end, jude's appearance rate made me wait for the fans to drool.

The film uses alfie to speak to the camera. This technique is most commonly used by Woody Allen. Of course, this film is also very well used. Each line is accompanied by a proper expression of jude, and there is a nice tone, which has some joy. , Can also be fascinating.

The story above is very complete, let's talk about the roles. Jude is difficult for me to be objective, but it is recognized that if you must find someone suitable for alfie, it must be him; not to mention his fitted suit and scarf, some coquettish provocative words, shuttle among women His cynicism, his appearance and acting skills are really easy to control.

But if the plot is just showing off his face, I don't think I will have too much saliva when I watch it this time. I like his performances in several places. One was when he was waiting in the car outside the clinic until she came out, his expression was nervous, relieved, reluctant, or somewhat pity and self-blame. I think it’s not difficult to perform these emotions alone, but when they are intertwined, they are the power of acting.

The other is the eye interaction with his friend. To be honest, the person who played his friend was not very good at acting. The chat scene with him at the beginning was like an ordinary TV series, but he looked at him with a super-standard "can kill me" in the eyes of alfie. At that time, Jude finally cheered up and got in touch with him. He sensitively wanted to dodge such sharp eyes, but he knew that he had to bear his challenge, so he looked back at him. From this to the long shot of him crying in the car, his performance was almost perfect.

Then is the end of the film, his back under the light. Wong Kar-wai once said that Tony Leung can also act from behind. I think jude is undoubtedly such an actor. It's just that small figure moving far away, making people feel boundless lonely in vain and drowning people completely.

LIZ played by Susan Sarandon is still tough. She was tempted by the young and handsome brad pitt more than ten years ago, and she was deceived willingly. More than ten years later, she was old, and she was tempted by the same young and handsome jude law, but she knew that some temptations were simple. As a result, our unfavorable alfie twisted and surrendered in front of her.

I can't be objective with Sienna Miller either. This woman, 23 years old, has a 33-year-old body and a 43-year-old face. She has no acting skills, no charm, and she has nothing to do with her performance. It was such a performance that actually made her win the jude. law! Oh my goodness. I have no language.

Mick Jagger's music for the movie is also impeccable, adjusting the plot and mood in a timely manner to where the movie needs. In addition, I think the old punk Mick Jagger is willing to do the OST for this movie. It must be the plot that moved him. After all, when he was young, his experience would only be more abundant than that of alfie.
Old Habits Die Hard is very good.

Speaking of a fellow who likes jude, alfie is an idol drama. She said that if it is really a complete idol drama, it would be fine, but she still needs to have a sense of preaching. The profound play caused us not to have fun in HC; after listening to it, she agreed. Alfie is not a qualified playboy. He started to suffer from gains and losses when he had a child. After breaking up with his girlfriend, he will have a long period of psychological struggle. From this point of view, he is just a young man with a good appearance and a good appearance. Yuan's kind of distressed man who often appears in life (of course the reality is not as story-telling as the movie), but he can't become a legendary beauty hunting expert. Compared with casanova's tirelessness, he has left more than one hundred illegitimate children. He is invincible in bed and has great talents and abilities. He is too pediatric.

But I think the preaching in the last part of the film is hypocritical, but necessary. Those lines may be out of tune, but they can also make people truly feel alfie's regret. Alfie makes women love hysterical, but also hates him hysterically, but the former alfie is just a child spoiled by women.
He will grow up eventually. Just behind that figure.
