"By the Sea" was released in North America in November, with Angelina Jolie writing and directing herself, co-starring Brad Pitt.
Now, in addition to being an actress, she has become a director, a screenwriter, and she has done a good job. Once, I was so obsessed with her, like all star-chasing fans, collecting pictures of her, her movies, until those overwhelming scandals overwhelmed her and also flooded my eyes, and I began to hate her, all the way to now.
The other day, I saw the promotion of "Deep Feelings for the Coast" and saw that face that I liked for a long time and hated, just for a moment, I forgave her, perhaps, just because we are all old.
I turned over the discs that I had begun to collect for more than a decade, and found the exact disc of "Gia" (aka "Neon Pick"), which was my first dream, the beginning of the sinking.
"Gia", perhaps many people have not seen this film, this is a biographical TV movie made by HBO in 1998, Julie won two very important emmy awards and golden globe awards for best actress in a miniseries (and also won these two awards for best supporting actress in a miniseries "George Wallace"), this year, Julie became famous in one fell swoop.
With the affirmation of these awards, I believe you already have certain expectations for this film.
Contrary to what is usually assumed, Gia herself has no resemblance to Julie,but Julie succeeds in bringing her to life.
Because they share the same label: sexy, unbridled, violent, bisexual, burning like fire.
When Gia became famous, it was in the late 70s and early 80s of the last century, an era dominated by money, psychedelics, and sex. She became a model at the age of eighteen, rebellious, bisexual, pursuing girls everywhere, falling in love with her female makeup artist, and becoming the world's first supermodel. Men all over the world loved her, but she didn't love them.
These deviants have a lot to do with her family, Gia's childhood is not happy at all, sexually assaulted by an elderly person at the age of 5, bad parental relations, domestic violence, divorce, all of which caused her an extreme insecurity, and a desire for love, she longed for her Sandy (makeup artist girlfriend) to always love her, but she eventually left her.
She was empty, she was miserable, she was addicted to drugs, she was infected with AIDS, she died, and she stayed forever at the age of 26.
When you really devote yourself to this film, with Gia, sad and helpless, hurt by the people who care most, you will understand that her choice to fall and go to death may really be a relief for her, but even so, we will still grieve for this, because of Gia's life, because of Julie's interpretation.
Julie's acting skills in this film are one of the best and none of all her films I've seen, and that feeling is that she's playing herself, but she's stronger than Gia, she lives more freely, maybe Gia here is just Julie of another parallel world, the same deviant, but on a dark path.
I am only glad that the world I live in, Julie is very good, she has also experienced darkness, experienced thousands of people (even I have become one of them), but still strong standing there, those I once thought of the show, hypocrisy, but my paranoia and superficiality, ignoring her substantial help to those poor people, she will always be a person worthy of my respect and admiration.
Now she, her face is getting older, but she has not stopped, she is walking towards her mountain, where there is her throne.
