Nicole Kidman is a very challenging woman who is good at showing herself, and her natural coldness makes her very suitable for playing roles that are more femme fatales.
In the movie "At All Costs", we see her interpret the femme fatale who sacrifices hue in order to achieve her own goals, and even more unscrupulous, without feelings, to interpret it properly.
Nicole Kidman plays the heroine Susan is a woman who knows how to use her advantages and treat them as a ladder for what she wants, she was born poor, but when she was a student, she was determined to enter high society and become an aristocrat. And she really did this, excellent appearance and figure, she quickly picked her true son, Ruyi Langjun, a tall and rich rich second generation, a prominent family, she became a wealthy Kuotai.
So, does the life of a wealthy family satisfy her? Many people are like this, when they have money, they want to be famous, they want other things, and so does Susan, especially when she knows that her husband's sister is going to participate in the TV host selection, and she wants to give it a try.
Because she had a dream of becoming a news anchor, she liked the feeling of being the protagonist in the spotlight, so she used all her resources to make a dot and prepare with all her might, despite the opposition of her husband Lali and the rest of the family. She was eventually hired by a local cable TV station as a "weather girl". Although this is only a small TV station, Susan's high enthusiasm for work has not been discouraged by the negative environment.
She was meticulous in her work and constantly had many creative new ideas, and because of her excellence, the TV station agreed to start a youth interview series that went deep into the school, and she met James and three other rebellious young people, who she knew that these young people were the most topical, and this show would definitely make her famous. At the same time, her interviewee, James, was deeply attracted to the mature and attractive woman in front of him, Susan, and became infatuated.
Susan's career seems to be peaking, and her fame is growing, but her husband, as a rich man, hates his wife being out there, and Susan even realizes that his husband is becoming an obstacle to her career.
As the saying goes, the most poisonous woman's heart, this sentence may not be all true, but at least the ancestors can say it, there should be a certain truth in it, used on Susan's body, that is even more appropriate. In order not to let her husband hinder the career she loves, and for herself to have no worries, Susan's choice is terrifying. She did not divorce her husband and rely on herself, let alone solve the problem in a showdown with her husband, but when she knew that James was obsessed with her, she thought of a cruel trick in thirty-six schemes, borrowing a knife to kill.
She uses James to get him to shoot Lali, and when the dust settles, a smug Susan thinks she will be the winner, but it doesn't turn out what she expected.
This movie is a crime film with a plot similar to a soap opera, but the director uses a special shooting method, that is, to tell the story in flashbacks and multi-person perspectives, in fact, it should be said that Susan did what the person did. And Susan was watched by so many people from her own perspective, not because she successfully completed the documentary, but because of the death of her husband, she became a celebrity, and all the media paid attention to her. It is precisely because of this attention that her unbearableness and conceit and cold-bloodedness are revealed little by little.
When she worked hard to make high-quality documentaries, she did not receive much attention, and when she was involved in crime, she was able to attract the "concern" of countless people and watch her life, which is ironic.
Susan also implemented the four words "At All Costs" to the bone, for her dream, it is really people blocking killing, Buddha blocking killing Buddha, and also using her own extraordinary figure, shocking beauty to open the way, what sacrifice hue, unscrupulous, in her opinion, are all ordinary things, she thinks that her IQ is also crushing everyone. Ambition, lust, and pathological ambition are embodied in Susan. Some people say that after watching the movie, I hate Nicole more and more, in fact, doesn't this just mean that she played well?
The movie seems to be a mockery of the American middle class, and the dry humor and vulgarity are intuitive!
