Second brush, the last time I can't remember how many years ago it happened.
Probably because I was asked too many times by my parents about my plans after graduation, so I was a little nervous. I remembered this work-related movie that I really liked, so I turned it over and watched it again.
After so many years of second brushing, the mentality and understanding must be very different. When I watched it for the first time, I can't remember exactly what I thought. There should be some emotions like the heroine is really beautiful, Miranda is really cool, and Nigel is really cute. And this time, the one who touched me the most was Nigel.
Nigel is probably my favorite character in the whole movie. Poisonous and gentle, down-to-earth and forge ahead. Judging from the details, his performance and position should be very proud. However, his evaluation, encouragement, and guidance of newcomers are just right. He didn't sit on the sidelines and fall into trouble when he couldn't fit in for a while, but he was never a good teacher. chatter.
Miranda's crisis coincided with the opportunity for his career to rise. I thought he was faced with a choice - as we've seen in many works - a choice of interests and emotions, whether to seize the opportunity to rise above the sky, or to stay and even make some sacrifices to help Miranda.
After all, "it was me who was recommended by Miranda".
Unexpectedly, he faced a "betrayal". This is a far cry from what I expected when Andy and Nigel were in danger and then joined hands with the Queen to create a brilliant future. Even when I saw that Miranda didn't care about Andy's repeated warnings, I thought it was Miranda who already had a plan. That's right, a surefire way, a nice counter-attack, and everyone's happy.
However, it turned out that the plot did not follow the "shuangwen" line. At that time, the distress for Nigel and the disbelief for Miranda were extremely strong. Although in retrospect, I can clearly see the reality that Nigel and Andy were powerless to change anything.
"When the time is right, she'll pay me back."
"You sure about that?"
"No. But I hope for the best. I have to."
The subtitle translates the passage as "She will pay for it". At first glance, I was so emotional that I understood it logically. So Nigel in his eyes became a pitiful person who was betrayed, betrayed, sacrificed and aggrieved and cursed that Miranda would be punished. With the addition of "I have to do this", it seems that if he loses this last bit of negative obsession, he will not be able to hold on at all. I think, Nigel is ruined.
After re-reading this little climax, I felt that it didn't seem to be the case.
"When the opportunity is right, she will compensate me."
"you sure?"
"Not sure. But I'll hold out my hopes. I have to."
Suppressing all negative emotions, looking forward to Miranda, who was a "brutal betrayal" for a second. is it possible? I think it is possible. Because after all, "it was me who was recommended by Miranda", because the two have worked together tacitly for so many years, because she is willing to believe that this is just her expedient measure - at least not to throw herself away and ignore it, or maybe because there is nothing else. Good choice.
It's probably more like (my favorite) Nigel, sincere, gentle, up-hearted. Such a person is hurt once and still willing to believe it again. However, there cannot be a second time.
So what will Miranda do? I thought the Nigel affair was over and there was no further explanation after the movie. Now that I think about it, a demon queen who is "selfish and arrogant" and "doesn't care about her surroundings except for her work", would just give herself After working for a few months, I was relatively satisfied, but in the end, I left the subordinates who were running away to write recommendations for the newspaper. Presumably Nigel's expectations will not be shattered.
I hope I can meet someone like Nigel in my work in the future.
Or be someone like Nigel.
