The film Notting Hill was released in 1999 and starred Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.
In the 90s, Julia Roberts gained great popularity with romance films such as "Pretty Lady in the Wind and Moon", "The Running Bride", and "My Best Friend's Wedding", and people loved this long-legged beauty with big eyes and big mouth. In the movie "Notting Hill", Julia Roberts played the actress Anna, which is simply the same color.
Hugh Grant is a British aristocratic actor with a whole body, is a personable gentleman, in 1987 with "Morris's Lover" won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor, in 1994 performance "Four Weddings and a Funeral" became a hit, but in 1995 because of the prostitute scandal career plummeted, and "Notting Hill" fell into the same way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > every man has a Notting Hill in his heart </h1>
"Notting Hill" is a douban score of 8 points, and I only want to give 5 points, it is not a qualified love film in my mind, because such love did not move me.
The film's story takes place in Notting Hill, England, where There are English-style streets, romantic private gardens and a handsome male protagonist, William. William runs a dismal tourist bookstore, and after his divorce, his emotional world is blank, and he has to endure sharing an apartment with a strange and untrimmed friend Sprite. The heroine Anna is a famous Hollywood movie star in the United States, her jade photos often appear on the covers of various magazines, and her every move has attracted the attention of the whole world.
William worked in the bookstore as always this day, and the gears of fate quietly turned. When the red movie star Anna walked into the bookstore, William accidentally poured the whole cup of orange juice on Anna, in order to apologize he invited Anna to his house to change clothes, maybe the male protagonist was too handsome, or the male protagonist was too gentle, anyway, Anna suddenly gave him a hot kiss, and since then Anna has become a cinnabar mole in William's heart that cannot be erased...
Many people have commented on this film: every man has a Notting Hill in his heart. Is it that this film subverts the love pattern of the past strong men and weak women, a bit of a male version of "Cinderella", so every man wants to go to Notting Hill for such a sexual encounter?
But I think this kind of love is divorced from reality, how many powerful women in reality can really fall in love with di si men? And how many chances does Di Si Man have to meet with a star? Therefore, it is difficult for an unreal romance film to resonate with people's hearts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > a love story between a scumbag and a "soft egg"</h1>
The heroine anna in the film is simply a typical scumbag.
She has a boyfriend and also hooked up with the male protagonist, and inexplicably kissed the male protagonist at the first meeting (at least the director did not explain clearly what the female protagonist's state of mind was when she kissed the male protagonist, and I could not understand it, guessing that it was because the male protagonist was too handsome and couldn't help but want to kiss it. ）
Then, he also took the initiative to invite the male protagonist to sit downstairs, but unfortunately he met Anna's boyfriend at the time, and the male protagonist left in a daze.
The male protagonist was sad for a while, originally he had licked the wounds and prepared to welcome a new love affair under the introduction of his friends, but the female protagonist appeared again.
It turned out that this time was the female protagonist's previous nude photos were exposed, so the male protagonist came to hide from the limelight, and by the way, he also took the initiative to find the male protagonist to complete the last unfinished thing.
In this plot, what I can't stand most is that when the heroine explains her cheating incident, the focus is not on hooking up with the male protagonist when she has a boyfriend, but "I don't know how he suddenly appeared there." This is the same as Chen Xiang's explanation of the "late-night squeeze acne" incident, is it true that the stronger party in love is "reasonable"?
I thought their love should be smooth, but the news reporter found the whereabouts of the female protagonist and crouched at the door of the male protagonist. At this time, the female protagonist was furious and left the male protagonist's home after a big fight with the male protagonist.
The male protagonist lost his soul for a while, until one day he heard that the female protagonist was shooting a film near his home, he had to pluck up the courage to find the female protagonist, but heard the female protagonist say to the friend: "He is not my person, we are just very ordinary friends, his arrival makes me very embarrassed." ”
The male protagonist left sadly after listening to it, but the next day the female protagonist came to the bookstore to confess to him... （What?）
The previous scene also said that the male protagonist is nothing, and the latter scene came to confess, my feeling is that the female protagonist is calling for the male protagonist to come and go, firmly grasping the initiative of love, and I have to sigh: Pua master!
And the male protagonist? His nickname from childhood is "Soft Egg", but it is very close to his personality.
When invited by Anna to sit downstairs, he plucked up the courage to go upstairs and kissed Anna for the first time, but met Anna's famous American movie star boyfriend, still a muscular man, William was overwhelmed at the moment, pretending to be a waiter to take the opportunity to slip away, showing his cowardice and inferiority.
He is still a very passive person, the newlywed wife ran away with someone, and the other woman he loved married his good friend, he was just secretly hurt and never took the initiative to fight. After Anna left for the first time, he was depressed for six months, afraid to read all the news about Anna, not to listen to all the news of Anna, and not to contact Anna. If Anna hadn't taken the initiative to find him, they might never see each other again in this life. In their love, almost every time It was Anna who took the initiative, and even making love was Anna who took the initiative to find him.
So, this is a love story of a "scumbag" and a "soft egg man". The appearance is passed, and the plot is general.
