Tammy Fey's Eyes: It's also a love movie
I remember that I first paid attention to the movie "Tammy Fi's Eyes", only because I accidentally saw a still on the Internet, in the photo, Jessica Chastain's appearance was amazing, and she became a very different character under the credit of special makeup, although she still retained her unique charm, but in terms of temperament and makeup and hair, it aroused my curiosity at the moment, yes, I began to look forward to what kind of work "Tammy Fay's Eyes" would be.
And after waiting for nearly a year, this film has recently skipped the theater line and directly landed on Disney+, because it has not studied the event itself before, so this article does not intend to delve into too many topics, only purely according to my mood after watching the movie to do reviews, but also to readers who are preparing to see this movie as a reference!
"Tammy Fei's Eyes" not only tells the story of the heroine and ex-husband, but also it is also a real love movie.
When Tammy Fei was born into a family where her mother ridiculed her as a "prostitute", she had a deep obsession with "love" and "equality" from an early age, so inspired by religion, she began to believe that "God loves the world, and there is no exception at all".
Even after experiencing a childhood that was not valued by adults, she still maintained the belief of "wanting to love everyone" under a strong will, after that, she met the man Jim who changed her life, from the initial love, support to collapse, the process is like a typical tragic love story, the initial romantic sweetness has become an irreparable dream.
"Tammy Fei's Eyes" also reminds me of "The Birth of a Star" from time to time, which brings out that when love and work cannot be combined, there must be a situation of sacrifice on the one hand, although the essence of these two films cannot be classified together, but the contradiction between "feeling" and "bread" is sometimes really similar.
And "Tammy Fei's Eyes" not only that, but also added religious issues, so that its collision surface is more extensive, when marriage, career, faith are opposed to each other, but struggle not to give up to love everyone, Tammy Fei's life is like a beacon standing in the rainstorm, only she understands her own persistence, only she understands her own value.
The film currently scored 6.5 on Douban, which is an ordinary upper in the same genre, and some raters believe that in popular culture, Tammy Fei's life is like a tragic clown, trying to keep smiling in front of people and putting away tears behind people's backs.
However, the film's portrayal of Tammy Fei's faith is not deep enough, but it takes too much effort to package her exaggerated appearance, and Jim's alleged sexual violence is almost not shown in "Tammy Fei's Eyes", or perhaps because it is Tammy Fei's film, so it is done.
But Jim is undoubtedly the man who has influenced her the most, so if it can be fully described and portrayed, then the audience should be more able to arouse empathy and empathy for this tragic character, and this part is less intense.
I agree with this statement very much, because the film sees the end, it is really difficult to define what kind of story "Tammy Fei's Eyes" wants to tell, so halfway through, I personally almost cut through the perspective of a love movie, and observe Tammy Fei's relationship with Jim from it.
It is precisely because "Tammy Fei's Eyes" depicts other issues relatively thinly, which makes Tammy Fei's inner drama greatly reduced, and the audience can only see the collision of external issues, but can not pay attention to the deeper meaning, or what kind of warning or inspiration this character brings, which is a pity part.
Overall, it is not difficult to understand why "Tammy Fei's Eyes" skips the theatrical arrangement, and even the reason is that the positioning of the film is so vague that it is difficult for the audience to capture the clear "profound" after watching the film, and even to determine whether it is good or not.
However, the actors did a decent job, Jessica Chastain used this as a oscar without any problems, and compared to the last few years of "Ms. Sloan" or "Jasmine Card Game", I personally feel that the situation of this film is exactly the opposite of them.
"Tammy Fei's Eyes" uses Tammy Fei's helplessness to set off the inner strength, while "Miss Sloan" and "Jasmine Hand" prefer to show the inner weakness with a strong appearance. As for Andrew Garfield's performance in recent years, it has been quite eye-catching!
