Chapter 94 Uncompromising Differences
The right leg on the right side hangs down naturally, with the entire leg extended diagonally outside the chair. The bare foot is completely relaxed and suspended in the air, with the toes naturally spread out and the instep line smooth.
The left leg is bent to the left, and the foot protrudes through the gap on the side of the chair. The sole of the foot extends out of the gap between the wooden armrest and the back of the chair to the left side of the chair. The toes are naturally bent and relaxed, and the entire foot is suspended in the air and exposed on the outside of the chair, creating a very interesting misaligned effect.
"Full marks,"
David promptly replied, "You deserve full marks. You could be on the cover of a fashion magazine."
"real?"
"Really," David moved his chair closer, "just looking at the shape of her feet, they're much prettier than Nicole's."
"What's wrong with Nicole?" Naomi asked curiously, as she hadn't usually paid attention to this detail.
"Nicole, Nicole's is good too, but it's not your style."
David almost blurted it out, but quickly changed his words, "Yours is more to my liking."
That's true. In the original timeline, Nicole's feet were deformed in the later stages, so she would hide them whenever possible when taking photos.
Naomi also dared to go barefoot when shooting casual photos. Back then, she also carefully studied her feet with a magnifying glass. Her feet are long and slender, with smooth and soft lines on the instep, and the toes are proportionally symmetrical and neat. There are no obvious problems with outward expansion or deformity. The overall outline is clean and neat.
Combined with long, slender legs, the overall proportions are harmonious, and the slender, well-proportioned feet conform to popular aesthetics, making it a foot shape with outstanding beauty.
There's a website called WiKiFeet that specializes in ranking the attractiveness of celebrities' feet. It's said that they've ranked the feet of over 30 celebrities, with Emma Watson seemingly in first place.
David searched his memory for a moment. Hmm, he wasn't born yet. It seemed he wouldn't have much of a chance in this lifetime. He couldn't time travel so early next time.
"appetite?"
"No, no, I like it, I like it," David quickly corrected himself, "I misspoke."
While Quentin Tarantino isn't the only Hollywood actor to literally flaunt this thing in his mouth, the seemingly mild-mannered Keanu Reeves also did it in "The Devil's Advocate," a film he co-starred in with Theo Hernandez.
However, David felt it was best not to bring this up openly.
"I won't ask you why," Naomi said, taking her left leg off and crossing it over her right. "Nicole must have asked you. I'll ask Nicole when I have time. Now, all you need to do is tell me how it feels."
"Yes, the feedback is quite obvious. The skin is very thin, and the texture is similar to when shaking hands," David replied while practicing. "However, this is mainly related to psychological factors. There's not much to say about the purely physiological sensations."
.
"Oh, tell me about it."
Have you read my book, *Sex, Lies, and Videotapes*?
Upon hearing this topic, Naomi recalled for a moment and said, "I've seen it. Nicole recommended it to me and even asked me to comment on her performance."
"Hmm, how did you comment on it?"
'
"Didn't you say you wanted to talk about your feelings? Don't go off-topic."
""
"Okay, actually this is the same principle as filming a videotape in a movie; it's a two-way satisfying behavior."
Those who comply release the pressure of reality through submissive behavior, thereby escaping decision-making anxiety and affirming their self-worth, just like the people in the movie who are interviewed on videotape.
The dominant party controls the initiation, method, and rhythm of the interaction, thereby repairing early traumas of being controlled and establishing a sense of security, much like Glenn in the movie who filmed people and asked them questions.
"How about that? Was that detailed enough?"
'
"Not bad, I feel like you know more about psychology than Nicole."
"No, I'd like to know your opinion on Nicole Kidman's performance in 'Sex, Lies and Videotape'," David said. "Could you please give me your answer?"
'
"Sure," Naomi coughed, pretending to be serious, seeing how serious David was asking the question. "Actually, I can't see anything else, it's mainly just praise."
How did you praise me?
'
"I said her performance in the movie was both restrained and natural, which perfectly matched the overall mood of the film."
Yes, that's true. Ann is a middle-class housewife suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder and frigidity. Her husband is indifferent and has an affair with her sister. Such a character certainly can't be portrayed through exaggerated emotional outbursts; it fits the film's subtly provocative tone perfectly.
"Is this how she usually acts?"
'
"No," Naomi shook her head, "she used to play characters who were cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
""
"Cold on the outside, warm on the inside?"
"Yeah, didn't you notice? Nicole is actually a person who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She was like that back in school—"
As David listened to the other person's story, he recalled Nicole's screen image from the original timeline.
Indeed, Nicole Kidman's most well-known roles seem to be those of elegant, restrained, and emotionally charged female characters, such as the elite housewife suffering domestic violence in "Big Little Lies" and Virginia Woolf on the verge of a mental breakdown in "The Hours," which are representative roles in her career.
"Is it because of her accent?"
After listening for a while, David couldn't help but interrupt, "Her neutral tone?"
"Hmm, is it related to this?" Naomi tossed her hair, looking puzzled.
"Didn't you notice that her Australian accent has been suppressed into an international, slightly combed, neutral tone when she speaks?"
'
"I didn't find anything, but you're talkative and you're right, so go on."
David couldn't help but roll his eyes. What else was there to say?
When someone who is used to speaking a dialect tries to speak Mandarin, it's as if every word is internally reviewed before being allowed to be uttered. As a result, their speaking speed is often slow, and there are seemingly meaningful pauses.
"So, according to you, it's also related to her height?"
"Otherwise, Nicole's very presence creates a natural sense of 'untouchability.' If she were to remain silent for even a moment, wouldn't she become what you call 'cold on the outside, warm on the inside'?"
"Untouchable?" Naomi teased. "She's still untouchable in front of you?" "At least for now, she's out of reach."
David shrugged and said that.
"And what about me? And what about me?"
"Naomi, didn't you see what my hands are doing? You're now within reach, you know that?"
"Clap clap clap!"
""
After the performance on stage ended, David stood up and, like the other audience members, gave the actors a warm round of applause.
"How is it? Is the musical I picked any good?"
'
"Yes, it's really good. I like it very much. Thank you, David."
After leaving the theater, Catherine, who was holding his arm, smiled.
He's already back in Los Angeles. He just saw a musical with Catherine at the Orphen Theatre. He specifically chose it; it's called "Chicago."
Yes, it's the musical of the movie she starred in in 2002, which tells the story of a female murderer who becomes a top star after being imprisoned and then transforms into a celebrity after her release.
I must say, watching the original musical of "Chicago" with the future "Vilma Kelly" is truly a magical experience.
"Hmm, Madonna and Sean Penn got divorced?"
"Yes, it's normal that you didn't know about the divorce agreement that was formally filed not long ago, since you're in South Dakota."
Catherine poured him a glass of hot water and glanced at David, who was sitting on the sofa with a newspaper in his hand.
"What's the reason this time?"
2
"It wasn't mentioned in the newspapers, but some tabloids said it was because of domestic violence."
David glanced at the official statement in the newspaper, noting the irreconcilable differences.
Yes, that's practically the same as saying nothing. "Irreconcilable differences" is the most frequently used reason for divorce among Hollywood stars; it's a standard template.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie filed for divorce back in 2016, reportedly due to domestic violence allegations involving a private jet.
However, the subsequent legal battles, involving custody of the six children and the division of the $500 million winery, dragged on for a long time. The divorce agreement was not officially signed until the end of 2024, reportedly citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce.
