The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 797: A clear stand
In the field of artistic creation, there is always such a kind of work: how annoying it is, how much it is liked. Extreme hatred and extreme pursuit have pushed such works into a whirlpool of controversy. They float up and down in the dual-day treatment of ice and fire. After time has settled, they will either be annihilated in the sea or spread in the world.
Can "detachment" be regarded as such a work of art? It is not known for the time being, only time can tell. But at least it is certain that film critics are indeed criticized and praised together, repulsive and embraced coexist. Just as Lisa of "Entertainment Weekly" gave a super low score of "0.5/4", Anthony of "Silver Screen" gave an unbelievably high score of "3.8/4".
Such a clear-cut rating looks like a child quarreling, "I like it", "I don't like it", "I don't like you", "I don't like you either"...Naive and impulsive, quite unreasonable, Both ratings have deviated from the normal track, but placed in the background of the author's film, they are logical and natural.
Two film critics, with a clear stand and firm viewpoint, expressed their attitude towards "detachment". In history, countless cult movies and art movies have been like this. Leaving aside the historical status of the future of "detachment", what is certain is that the attitude of film critics is indeed moving in this direction.
In addition to the "screen", there are eight other media that can't wait to send positive affirmations.
"The New Yorker", "3.5/4", "No one mentioned it, but I have to admit that this work reminds me of'life is beautiful because of you', more or less. Tony Kaye showed education Among the most important traits: trust, patience, and empathy, and sounded the alarm with a compassionate perspective; at the same time, Lanly-Hall’s dedication comparable to Richard-Dreyfuss (Richard-Dreyfuss) )’S great performance. If this still doesn’t prove that he is one of the best actors in Generation Y, I don’t know what else can be."
"Empire", "3.2/4", "With the three-point performance of the "transcendence", Lanly-Hall deserves a standing applause. If possible, a actor's trophy would be a more appropriate choice. This is undoubtedly It is the most special movie-watching experience this year. Following Hall’s eyes, the audience’s mood is like a roller coaster, strolling through the collapsed House of Usher, reflecting turbulent reflections."
"Los Angeles Times", "3/4", "This is a work that keeps the audience trembling all the time, like a blood-stained fist slamming into the air rough and primitive, and every punch can set off a wave of breath. I can’t see it, but it’s very real. At the same time, there are some weird parts in the movie. The use of chalk and clip art is incompatible with the overall style of the movie. However, Lan Li-Hall did it again, bringing a heart-shattering performance ."
"U.S. Weekly", "3/4", "Tony Kayer dared and frantically conducted an experiment: how did students gradually become out of touch with education, and how did teachers gradually become crazy. Hidden in the school What is the root of education? This undoubtedly left a big question mark for all the audience. In addition, thanks to Tony Kaye for dedicating the best Lanli Hall again."
Almost as opposed to critical voices, the voices of praise are also wave after wave, and each is an absolute authoritative media. The scenes of non-concession and confrontation between film critics, sparks brilliant colors, this It is not uncommon at the Berlin Film Festival, but for the first time this year. A "transcendence", thoroughly let the film festival glow with vitality.
Amidst this uproar, the last to appear is the "Hollywood Reporter".
As the industry’s top authority, the "Hollywood Reporter"’s business capabilities and public opinion guidance are unparalleled. Michael Phillips attended this year’s Berlin Film Festival as a representative of film critics. His views, opinions, and opinions are undoubtedly It is important, and it is also a heavyweight in the direction of film reviews.
This time, Michael once again continued his admiration and love for Lanly.
"Len Li-Hall, it is Lan Li-Hall again. Whenever we marvel at the background and strength of this young actor, he can always bring amazing performances again.
There are too many praiseworthy parts of Hall in the work of "Transcendence", solid performance skills, accurate emotional transmission, deep core interpretation, and moving thought resonance, but his most outstanding part is It lies in the complete performance: not only presents all the characters, but also presents the character of Henry Bart three-dimensionally and vividly, the whole character is vivid and complete; it also successfully connects the whole story and presents the context of the flow In front of the audience, it brings shock after watching the movie. "
The plain language did not conceal Michael's excitement at all. On the contrary, these plain texts revealed his unparalleled excitement. You can even imagine his excitement when writing the above text.
"However, before we go further into Hall, we should discuss another central figure in this work: Tony Kaye.
People either like this work madly or hate it madly. But no matter which point of view, no one can deny that the emotions contained in this work are so heavy and sharp. The powerful energy breaks the audience's defense line unreasonably, and smashes into the heart, whether it is like or dislike, in an instant The time became extremely strong and full-bodied.
This is precisely the purpose of Kaye's creation. In his previous works, it has always been the case, showing the cruelty and madness of reality to the audience with blood, even enough to cause strong psychological discomfort. Not a visual shock, but a blow from the soul. This time, Kaye did it again.
In the education system, family education and school education are areas of common concern, but "detachment" has put forward a third point of view: social education. The society’s positioning and guidance of education is, to a certain extent, a more powerful force, squeezing families, schools, and then teachers and students. In the huge social machine, the power of individuals is undoubtedly insignificant——
Every character in the movie is trying to resist. However, their resistance was too weak. In the ending of the movie, Kaye gave a hopeful and bitter ending:
Henry and Erica met again. Henry and Erica, who had lost their family and had nothing, depend on each other. Henry gave Erica a future and planted a seed of education in Erica; but, the school But it was annihilated, like the collapsed House of Usher. Doesn't anyone think of the "Dangerous Way of the End" in 2009 because of this work? "
Michael analyzed the "transcendence" in depth and once again praised Tony's experiment. Then, after a turn of the conversation, he returned to Lan Li again.
"In the work of detachment, Kaye has put too much ambition, and all these ambitions fall on the actor Henry alone. If the wrong actor is chosen, then this may be just a'Lolita' 'Style story; but fortunately, Kaye chose the right actor.
Hall chose an interesting and simple way of acting, which is really intriguing. He stripped away the sadness and pain contained in the story itself, and instead brought into the character with a kind of numbness and stiffness almost like a walking dead, which was created at the beginning of the movie. There was a cold feeling of alienation, shutting out all the audience from a distance.
However, this seemingly facial image just shows Hall's profound performance skills. The information revealed by his eyes and movements is like a curl of smoke, always lingering at the fingertips, as if dragging the string of a kite. Generally, gently pulling the audience's attention, always keeping a distance, but still can't get rid of it. That deep loneliness is hidden in the confusion, interpreting a single emotion to different levels.
With the progress of the story, Hall's performances in a hierarchical and hierarchical manner unearthed the profound meaning of the movie bit by bit. More importantly, the personal story experience reflects the helplessness and helplessness under the background of the entire era, and then extends to the school and even the society, leaving a thread of reflection in the mind of every audience, as to whether or not Willing to pull out the thread and how to pull it out depends on the individual audience.
Hall’s performance reminds me of Daniel Day Lewis ~lightnovelpub.net~ The difference is that Lewis has gone to the abyss of madness, while Hall carries on with the darkness on his back. "
The above is the film review written by Michael for the "Hollywood Reporter". The whole article is filled with Michael's preference for Ranley. Not only that, at the end of the article, Michael also emphasized once again, "I like Hall to perform in the'detachment' The audience can go back and watch his performance in "Love Is Crazy". It is delicate and complicated, rich and full, spiritual but down to earth. The moving performance really makes love aspirational and also makes love. People are scared."
In the turbulent competition during the awards season, Michael, who was far away in Berlin, still did not forget to send an assist. This pursuit is really rare.
Finally, Michael gave a rating of "3.2/4", which is not shocking, at least not as exaggerated as "screen", but it is still the highest score of the "Hollywood Reporter" at the Berlin Film Festival so far. This is undoubtedly the best summary of Michael's point of view.
As Michael said, it doesn’t matter whether you like it or hate it, but it’s certain that the emotions brought about by the movie "detachment" have given every audience a heavy blow, and even caused intense emotional discomfort to the point Two clear-cut viewpoints have pushed the work itself to the pinnacle of controversy.
In the end, after the premiere of "Beyond", fifteen media commented, and the film's rating came to "2.3/4".
The perfect score is four points, only two and three points. Among the works that have been released at the Berlin Film Festival, it lags behind the "War Wizard", "Barbara" and "Just Wind", and only ranks fourth. After this, there are still many masterpieces that have not been released. Obviously, the extremely positive and extremely negative reviews have put "detachment" in an awkward position, but this is only the beginning.
