"The movie starts with a series of solid and stable drum beats and ends with a huge sensational'bang'. The look and feel and spiritual baptism brought by the whole work are exactly the same, showing the process of artistic exploration and breakthrough in an orderly and gradual manner. , And finally reached perfection in the unparalleled shock!"

Stephen Holden, a senior film critic of "Variety" magazine, mentioned the beginning and end of the film, cutting into the film review of "Burst Drummer" from a unique perspective.

Strictly speaking, the film critic is not cold about Renly. In the whole Hollywood craze, Stephen has always maintained a relatively objective perspective. Although he received a lot of praise and performances, he refused to promote Lan Li to the altar-this is also the overall concept of "Variety Show" magazine; but last year's "Drunk Country Folk Songs" made "Variety Show" a rare sight. I gave Lanli a lofty compliment, letting people see their persistence in film and art.

This time the "burst drummer", Stephen is full of praise.

"Rhythm control and advancement are undoubtedly the core meaning of the whole film throughout the whole film, from the most straightforward drums and drums, to the composition of the picture and light, to the connection and transition of editing, and finally to the psychological changes of the characters. Mein Chazele's use of jazz has reached the point of perfection, layer by layer penetrates into the whole work, which makes the lens reveal a sense of music flow and rhythm, and brings wonderful views in all aspects. Shadow experience.

It’s not an exaggeration to use any cliché way to praise the excellence of the "Blasting Drummer". The control of rhythm and power has reached the master level, and the gorgeous editing with the golden age of retro style, plot and music, rhythm and rhythm The interaction between them is undoubtedly the most brilliant and unique part of the whole work.

The intertext between the beginning and the end, and the rhythm throughout, this also makes the uniqueness of "Blasting Drummer" flourish.

Cha Zelei uses a story of exploring art and achieving breakthroughs to explore the choice of an artistic path: Is it to become a master of art who died young and betrayed by others, or to become an ordinary person who lives in his old age but no one knows? The film gives the answer through Andrew's story, and at the same time reflects on the three core creators, breaking the shackles of the dimension wall, and interpreting another layer of deep meaning in real life.

This has also become another layer of reflection on the surging aftertaste of the movie, and it also points out the soul of the whole movie: the actor.

The jazz art in the movie and the real life performance art, the two different forms of art have many similarities in the process of self-exploration and self-breakthrough. It can even be said that they have the same goal by different routes. This also makes the movie characters and real actors. , Produced a process of mutual echo and mutual influence, quietly breaking the virtual barriers established by the big screen, allowing the audience to experience the shock and baptism of artistic sublimation, the real and the false, the interweaving and dislocation of the false and the real. , Brings an unprecedented viewing experience.

In 2010, a "Black Swan" made the audience feel the pain and suffering caused by the transformation of art. The struggle that is almost split personality created a powerful psychological thriller, and Darren Aronofsky's atmosphere control Gives the movie a unique texture; but on the whole, Aronofsky chose to settle on the psychological level, interpreting the confrontation and entanglement of self, id, and superego with a unique and wonderful texture, but it also weakened it. The struggle of artistic breakthrough and artistic creation.

This time, in the "Blasting Drummer", Chazelei set his main focus on the collision and breakthrough in the shackles of art, extending from the drum kit to the performance, through the tension of the two actors' opponents, layer by layer to create A unique space of thinking that is unparalleled and difficult to replicate, allows the audience to deeply, directly, accurately and truly feel the tearing and pain of the artistic breakthrough process, and then can truly feel the tension and weight of the soul in the process of artistic creation.

The difference in the starting point of the whole creation also brings about different perceptions of the movie. Although the directors and actors of the two works are very good, the excitement and vividness of'Black Swan' fall more on the director; and the'Burst Drummer' Thickness and weight shine more in the actor's position. This also gave the audience the honor to see the rival scenes of the two actors, Renly Hall and JK Simmons, on the big screen. "

Objectively speaking, the story and core of "Burst Drummer" are not complicated, and the extended part worth exploring and studying is far inferior to the aftermath of "Gravity" and "Drunk Country Folk Songs"; not because of the thinness of the script, but Because of the purity of connotation——

Regarding the barriers and struggles of artistic creation, the perseverance and perseverance of art, the pain and perplexity of artistic dreams... For most audiences, understanding means understanding and making a point; if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. In vain.

It is conceivable that after the release of "Burst Drummer", there are bound to be many audiences unable to understand Fletcher's choice, and even more unable to understand Andrew's obsession, which is enough to cause a strong sense of moral discomfort. They can find a thousand and ten thousand reasons. Criticizing Fletcher and Andrew, those so-called crazy moments are more just nauseating moments, just like the "parents" in the movie.

People will say that education should be "spring wind and rain", Fletcher is a lunatic; people will say that life is always "countless choices", Andrew is asking for hardship; people will say that such an experience is inhumane and unnecessary, Fletcher Letcher and Andrew are simply dehumanizing neuroses.

However, "people" don't understand the tragic and poignant beauty of moths fighting the fire.

In a way, this is similar to "Drunk Country Folk Songs". On the red carpet of the premiere, Lan Li once answered questions from reporters. He said so, "Drunk Country Folk Song" is a story about persistence, and "Burst Drummer" is a story about breakthrough, but In the final analysis, both works are stories about art.

The difference is that the "Drunk Country Folk Songs" are gentle, immersing themselves in their own world and muttering to themselves, which is destined to be more acceptable to the masses; while the "Burst Drummer" is fierce, and straightens the blood. Presented in a white manner, it is now possible to show the bipolar reaction of the broad audience.

So I went back to the sentence, "If you don't understand, you don't understand, and to understand is to understand."

It is precisely because of this that Steven did not analyze the ideological connotation of the film too much, but from the technical level, and gave affirmation of Damien Chazele’s talent from all aspects, although this is Damien’s second. This is a work, but his abilities and ideas have formed his own style, which is a very rare talent for the director.

In addition, Stephen also put the focus of the comment on the performance.

"JK-Simons, the audience's impression of this actor seems to remain above that of the editor-in-chief of the "Spider-Man" magazine who paid for Peter Parker, but obviously his ability and energy are far from being a little gag. Only a supporting role, playing the role of Fletcher in the "Blasting Drummer", the freely retractable performance is light and soft, the calm and calm revealed in the camera schedule, some moments can be reminiscent of Professor Hannibal , But more plain and low-key, he looks like an ordinary person who can be knocked down.

This amiable image makes Fletcher more real, more human, and closer to the audience at the same time.

Simmons’s performance keenly captured the reality of this human nature, not much but enough, enough to use these soft and fragile parts to bring out the beast-like violent and brutality. The **** brutality revealed by those eyes created a kind of brutality. The powerful impact of the Tyrannosaurus opening its blood basin and mouth, with a crushing posture, controls all the ants floating under the soles of the feet, which in turn brings deep fear to the audience without losing the sense of reality.

This is one of the most impactful and powerful characters on the big screen in the past two years, and Simmons deservedly dedicated a performance that has reached the peak level of completion and excitement, giving Frye The incredible screen charm of this character has sparked infinite sparks with the story, the core, and the opponent. Now it can be asserted that this is bound to be one of the best performances of 2014.

"The Silent Lamb" derives the classic image of Professor Hannibal's vertical and horizontal screen for more than two decades. Simmons' performance is comparable to that of Anthony Hopkins, but there is an essential difference between the two roles. different.

Professor Hannibal seems to be an unbeatable screen image, while Fletcher's screen image seems to be surpassed or defeated. This sense of realism creates a different kind of dramatic tension in the rival dramas of the two characters in the movie, laying a sufficient foundation for the whole movie's succession and transformation, and it breaks out in the final scene.

There is no doubt that the rivalry between Simmons and Hall is the biggest highlight of the whole movie. I can't help but think of the rivalry between Rial Pacino and Robert De Niro~lightnovelpub.net ~Of course, this is not a correct horizontal comparison, but the aura and momentum between the two actors is indeed wonderful!

Simmons' extraordinary performance is assisted by a specific role, and it blooms with brilliant charm, and almost every audience's sight cannot leave Fletcher.

Back then, among the'Silent Lambs', Anthony Hopkins only played for 16 minutes, but his performance was comparable to Judy Foster; now, among the'Burst Drummers', JK- Simmons's role runs throughout, almost as the leading actor, which makes his performance take away all sight.

This is the innate advantage of the role and the perfect play of the actor.

However, the whole movie did not become Simmons's solo show. It was thanks to the excellent performance of another actor that gave the weaker characters new vitality, which completely burst out the dramatic tension of this duo, and let everyone The audience has truly realized the charm of the opponent's drama, and then the core and soul of the whole movie have been sublimated, and all the focus is still on the actor.

Lan Li-Hall. "
