The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 796: Controversy whirlpool
"Time"'s Amy Nicholson criticized mercilessly. Even Renly's performance did not make her change her mind. In the end, she gave her a score of "5/4", which was a perfect score of four. Among the scoring standards, only 1.5 points are given. Slightly better than "Voice of the Village", but it is still a drop in the bucket, and there is not much difference at all.
First, "Times Weekly" and then "Voice of the Village". Beyond this, there are a lot of critical voices.
"Entertainment Weekly" film critic Lisa Schwarzbaum, she has never liked Lan Li. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, because of the Cornell-McGregor relationship, it seems that the entire "Entertainment Weekly" is full of hostility towards Lan Li; at least it is certain that Lisa has It is difficult to give a good comment, at most it is only a weaker criticism. This time she seized such a rare opportunity, how could she miss it?
"The ending is a typical anti-climax. Just when everyone in the audience thought things could not be worse, Tony Kaye gave a powerful counterattack: this movie is far from reaching the bottom."
The mocking words, full of firepower, without a dirty word, have already cursed "transcendence" bloody.
"The theme of the whole movie is ambiguous. The first half is a story of a'Death Poetry Society', the middle is a story of'far from the casino', and the second half is a story of'Lolita'. In the final analysis , Tony Kaye’s film about suburban colleges tells the story of a cute teacher’s little troubles and the girl who fell in love with him.
Lan Li-Hall is undoubtedly lovable, and the shape and face in this work have reached the peak of charm. Those girls who like "Twilight City" should like this work. "
Laughing and cursing, acrimonious, ridiculing and ridiculing, Lisa attacked "transcendence" in all directions, and finally ended with a rating of "5/4", completely nailing this work to the pillar of shame. , And also became the lowest score of Lan Li's career. It can be seen that Lisa is very satisfied with her film review.
As an art film festival, Berlin has always adhered to the principle of openness to all criticism and praise. The essence of art needs to be explored, shared, and more critical. Only in this way can the process of "creation" continue to inspire inspiration. Eliminate those voices of opposition and leave only those voices of praise, then you can only stand still forever.
Therefore, after the premiere of "Beyond", you can see all kinds of comments in the official journal, which is almost shocking.
"Rolling Stone", "5/4", "'Detached' nailed a coffin into the Bible with an amateur and rude technique, but the discussion in the whole movie is so empty, so empty, so empty. It's so boring that I don't feel any pain."
"USA Today", "2/4", "This movie has unparalleled power. Renly Hall's performance brought a soul baptism-like shock, and once again established the position of the new generation of acting leader, Nata Li Portman should feel threatened; at the same time, the film is immersed in an emptiness that cannot be ignored or resisted, as if standing in the ruins of a dollar store, not even knowing what to save, or maybe it is. ...Is it worth saving?"
"Variety Show", "8/4", "Tony Kaye's bold attempt is undoubtedly admirable. He unearthed more potential of Lanly Hall and once again showed people the strength of top acting skills. At least three scenes are at the actor level, and each of the remaining scenes is absolutely nominated; but, in addition to this, Kaye lost control of the advancement and development of the story, and lacked emotional fetters. , All the mumblings have become so empty and weak, all the monologues seem to lack directivity and become castles in the air."
Although the author’s films are always controversial, after 30 or 40 years of precipitation, many films still have mixed reputations, and the extreme emotions of likes and dislikes are still clear and distinct; however, the "transcendence" bears It is unimaginable to criticize, especially the major authoritative media have given ultra-low scores and ill-talked each other, and overnight, almost pushed the "transcendence" into an abyss that cannot be turned over.
In a trance, the applause of the audience and the frenzy of questions at the premiere seem to have never happened. However, this is precisely one of the charms of the Berlin Film Festival. The greater the controversy, the greater the discussion, and the fiercer the confrontation, on the contrary, it is a sign of the movie's popularity.
No one is willing to discuss those lackluster films; those praised films, all signs indicate that they are going to win awards, but they are left out of the cold and often fail to reach the top; those with a slant sword and a unique style are praised and criticized. Qi Fei, but most able to arouse the enthusiasm of movie lovers.
Everyone is eager to watch such a movie, interpret and understand it from their own perspective, and then exchange opinions with other people, even if they are arguing with red eyes. Debate, confrontation, game, collision of ideas, this is the fun of art.
"Times Weekly", "Voice of the Village", "Entertainment Weekly", "Rolling Stone", USA Today, "Variety Show", a total of six media, after the premiere of "Transcendence", gave negative reviews; but here In addition, nine media outlets responded with praise after watching the movie, unanimously agreeing that this is undoubtedly one of the best works in Berlin this year.
"Silver Screen" is an authoritative professional film magazine from the United Kingdom. Its position in Europe is comparable to the position of "Variety Show" and "Hollywood Reporter" in the US industry, and it is only high and not low.
This magazine cooperates with the three major European film festivals every year to launch official magazines. In the magazines, first of all, they will invite six to nine professional film critics. These film critics are also officially recognized by the festival to rate the films. They will make a score for the publication; secondly, they will invite their own professional film critics and other professional film critics in Europe to write film reviews for the works at the festival.
Of course, in addition to the official publications of the "screen", other magazines will also publish their own corresponding score statistics, but they have not been officially recognized by the film festival, and the authority and circulation are not as good as that.
Always remain objective, authoritative, professional, and artistic, which are the elements for the success of "screen" magazines.
In addition, there is another important reason. The "screen" pays attention to all the dynamics of the film industry. The works of art and commercial works are no exception, but relatively speaking, works of art are their top priority, and Hollywood works have attracted attention. The degree is slightly inferior, even not as good as the artistic creation of small remote countries such as the Middle East or Western Europe.
For the first time, the "screen" released film reviews and received praise, which also laid the overall tone for the controversial whirlpool of "transcendence".
"This may be the best work on education since Franois-Truffaut's'Fahrenheit 451' in 1966."
François Truffaut, one of the greatest French directors, the second work of his career, "Four Hundred Strikes" has been known forever. "Silver Screen" magazine uses "451 degrees Fahrenheit" to measure "detachment", which in itself is a great analogy.
"Truffau has demonstrated the importance of reading in a realistic and poetic way, which will become a torch of historical advancement and social change, illuminating the piety of human society; while Kaye discussed the importance of education from a rebellious perspective. In addition to survival, wealth, fame, and status, education gives mankind the most precious thing: thought.
Choose free thoughts, dream chasing thoughts, easy life thoughts, wealth creation thoughts, self-achievement thoughts. Education gives everyone the right to choose.
But in contemporary society, people ignore the core of'ideology' and turn education into a stepping stone to wealth and fame. This is a regression of society and a sorrow of history. "
Anthony-Lane, a senior film critic of "Silver Screen" magazine, sharply stated Tony Kaye's creative intentions and core ideas, and then further commented on the director and the actors.
"Kaye chose a nearly documentary method of filming, as well as a nearly neurotic lens perspective, distorted and contradictory expression techniques, showing the inner struggle and emptiness of each character; the film-like film pictures and the jerky and simple student actors further Confusing the boundary between reality and film, recording fragments of life in a semi-real way, presenting a state of confusion and confusion.
This is the state of reality, this is the state of education~lightnovelpub.net~ This is also the state of life. After watching this movie, any audience who feels nothingness, chaos and confusion, even disgust and disgust, and even stings the psychology of a certain part of the education-related people, then Kaye's goal has been achieved. "
It can be seen that Anthony not only expressed support for Tony, but also secretly satirized those who opposed the critics, killing two birds with one stone. As the official queen film critic of the "screen", Anthony's attitude is really intriguing, not to mention that this is not the end.
"Besides the director, the young actor Lanly-Hall gave the best performance of his career. Not long ago, his starring "Love Is Crazy" still successfully convinced every audience.
Under Kaye's rough and primitive shots, Hall stripped off all the modification and sculpting, and returned to the most basic position of the performance: emotion. All the performances are so simple, yet so subtle. The dramatic tension between gestures breaks the blockade of the dimension wall, and raises the director’s intentions and the core of the script to a whole new level. In the end, there is nothing to be seen. trace. Such a performance is reminiscent of Helen Mirren in the "Queen".
But here is the problem. Hall is only twenty-two years old.
Choose one reason to watch this movie, Renly-Hall; Choose two reasons, Renly-Hall, Renly-Hall; Three reasons, Renly-Hall, Renly-Hall, Tony- Kaye. "
The praise of the "Silver Screen" magazine is all-round, from the director to the actors, from the script to the core, pushing "transcendence" to the top in one fell swoop. As the official publication of the Berlin Film Festival, Anthony's film reviews are undoubtedly Become the leader of the first batch of comments, and the "8/4" rating has pushed this controversy frenzy to the pinnacle! )!!
