The American comedy/drama/romance film Big Hope Spa, released in 2012 and directed by David Franco and written by Vanessa Taylor, tells the story of Kay and Arnold, a good couple who are loyal to each other, yet their long marriages leave their lives without passion. So, when Kay heard that a marriage specialist had arrived at the town of Hope Hot Springs, she persuaded her extremely stubborn, conformist husband to travel to the town for a week to treat their marriage. Hope to take the opportunity to rekindle the passion, although it is not a small challenge for both of them.
A 30-year-old couple, has boiled the sweet love into a family paste, the wife in order to rekindle the passion of the year, try their best but there is no improvement, the wife decided to ask the professional for help, pull the husband together to participate in the marriage counselor's week to save the marriage plan. From the beginning of the husband's indifference, to the resistance to the doctor's sexual problems, and then to the gradual entry into a better situation, the seemingly depleted love spring water was really recalled. However, decades of marital fetish is not a week to solve, and the real love rejuvenation does not seem to be as difficult as imagined, the key is to adjust the mentality to always maintain love.
The film was directed by David Francol, led by Oscar actress Meryl Streep and the old Man in Black Tommy Lee Jones, with comedian Steve Carell as the psychiatrist. I hope that the audience with a pint of Meigu's acting skills can feast their eyes again, although in this film, it does not reach the domineering exposure of "Iron Lady" and "Queen Wearing Prada", nor does it achieve the singing and dancing cheerfulness of "Mamma Mia". She is completely a housewife who complains about Ai Ai, but you can still see Mei Gu's exquisite portrayal of every expression, which is completely out of touch. Tommy Lee Jones's stubborn husband performance also allows everyone to see the warm side of the always brave and fearless man in black.
How to deal with married life after 30 years is a distant dream for most young people. When you put yourself in the position of facing, you will be caught off guard. As for the film being rated by the Miami Herald as too "strange and alienated", we don't have to be more realistic, after all, such a sunset love story, not too many people will care about the authenticity of it. As long as the director pulls out the proposition, the superb and warm interpretation leaves a lot of thinking for the audience, which is enough to be enjoyed by people after tea and dinner.
