The Greatest Showman - Chapter 1962

[One thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven comprehensive review debut]

“Playlist”, twenty-five points, “We are all looking forward to a contemporary sci-fi oracle comparable to ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’, showing the mystery of space and the complexity of human nature; but ‘Interstellar’ is like a Like a liar, it shows an interstellar travel process that seems to have never been appreciated. After thinking about it, it is a familiar movie scene and a vulgar emotional resonance. We have seen too many similar movies.

More importantly, we all know Renly Hall is a good actor, but we don’t need to see ‘Gravity’ and ‘Interstellar’ in a row in just six months In such a sexual production, does Hall perform well? No doubt about it; but does Hall break through himself? Apparently not. I honestly don’t understand the need for this movie to be made, what the hell was in the Nolan brothers’ minds What are you thinking about?”

Full fire!

“Playlist” magazine did not hide its disgust and hatred at all, and there was no soft-mouthed meaning between its words. It criticized the whole movie in a sharp and direct way. Even Renly was criticized. It is the first time Renly has ever been criticized in terms of performance – even the “detached”, which was originally criticized and praised, did not.

The above is just a short review. In the full long review, James Roche, a professional film critic of “Playlist”, expressed his views more completely.

Renly’s excellence and excellence are unquestionable, but after four years of Oscar nominations, EGOT feats, and undefeated releases, James Roche believes that what people want from Renly, and what he expects from him. Li’s requirements for himself should be raised to a higher level, because Renly is now a well-deserved leader in the entire Hollywood. Even if he can’t achieve breakthroughs in every work, he should at least not repeat himself.

“If Ben Affleck or Gerald Butler or Adam Sandler are repeating themselves, does anyone care? Of course not! Because they like to repeat themselves and they are so used to repeating themselves that even the audience Get used to it. But Renly Hall shouldn’t be like that!”

James Roche expressed his strong opinion. He believes that the homogeneity of “Gravity” and “Interstellar” is too close. Renly’s performance has layers and depths, but he still has not been able to get rid of similar and similar routines. This is certainly a step backwards for Renly, who he believes is starting to become “lazy”.

Undoubtedly, this is a very interesting and very special criticism, not only for the first time in Renly’s career, but also the first since the negative wave of awards season to have a real sense of criticism – people can disagree or refute , can even be dismissive with sneer, but James Roche is not “against for the sake of opposition”, really speaking his point, and there is content to support it.

This is extremely rare!

Of course,

he also did not hide his disgust for the work “Interstellar”. He even made a footnote with the fierce adjective “bad soap opera”, Jing Wei clearly expressed his position, emphasizing that this is “Nolan’s current The worst work in the director’s career so far” and thinks this is a big step backward, Nolan needs to review himself, “What kind of work do you want to shoot, not just content with Stanley – Kubrick’s superficial and superficial idolatry”.

A downright bad review, without leaving any sympathy, the “playlist” clearly stated its position, and sent the first dazzling red negative review for “Interstellar”, which was opened mightily. The prelude to the media review.

Objectively speaking, in the comprehensive media reviews of commercial films, this is a normal scene. Even “Inception”, which has received the support of countless die-hard fans, also suffered from bad reviews; Therefore, the significance of becoming a comprehensive review is to draw an overall conclusion after counting multiple professional media, and make a judgment on the quality of the film.

The negative review of the “playlist” is only one of the media’s comprehensive reviews, or more accurately, the only one.

After the premieres in Los Angeles and New York ended one after another, the comprehensive media review was officially released, and a total of 49 professional media commented at the first time, which also easily surpassed “Captain America 2” and became the first summer file this year. Since its unveiling, one of the works with the largest number of film reviews in the media can clearly see the attention of “Interstellar”.

Even after the turmoil of the promotion, the publicity period was greatly shortened; even though the feedback from the internal test screening was ambiguous, casting uncertainty on the quality of the film, it was still one of the most watched works in the whole year of 2014. Everyone is wondering what sparks can collide between Renly and Nolan, and film critics in professional media are no exception.

Forty-nine media, a total of forty-nine!

A bad review.

Ten middle reviews.

Thirty-eight good reviews.

Just from the data comparison, it can be seen that the comprehensive media review continued the ambiguous attitude of the previous internal test screenings, and “Interstellar” failed to win the one-sided support of film critics like “Gravity”.

However, “Gravity” was originally an art film following the film festival route – Warner Bros. had hesitated in the tactical selection stage of the awards season, which is the best proof, and the subsequent explosion of the commercial box office can be regarded as a surprise; and “Interstellar” is a commercial movie aimed at the box office – whether it is Thanksgiving or the summer, the box office is the main goal of Warner Bros., and the uneven media reputation is not surprising, even acceptable.

“Los Angeles Times”, 40 points, “Nolan’s tribute and interpretation of ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ is undoubtedly all my expectations for this film, but unfortunately, Nolan completely lost the science fiction works for the unknown, for the The discussion of human nature has completely lost the grandeur and profundity of the space epic. In the end, it is only filled with piles of emotional fetters and settled in the rut of human self-movement, which is undoubtedly disappointing.

Objectively speaking, the visual effects, sound effects, and film editing are all excellent, and the actors led by Hall, Chastain, and Hathaway also gave excellent performances, but all of them are based on the ‘father and daughter’ Affectionate’, which is absolutely unbearable depravity for a sci-fi movie.

Nolan’s performance should be above this level – it has to be said that Hall lost his acumen for the first time in script selection.

”

San Francisco Chronicle,” Fifty Points, “For much of the film, Nolan once again showed his courage, utterly unafraid to tell the story in a $165 million mega-production.” A majestic theme about human self-sacrifice and the choice between the self and the self; until Nolan made the two protagonists resolutely choose to return to the earth, the thematic core of the whole film began to collapse, and finally became a family soap opera. .

The huge theme has not been able to sublimate, but has fallen back, which is undoubtedly a regression for science fiction movies.

If talking about the great parts of the movie, I’d go for Renly Hall.

While the film doesn’t break through on the sci-fi level, Hall’s performance allows for more discussion of the characters and the story — even if those discussions aren’t what I expected.

”

The Guardian,” Fifty Points, “An epic with majestic visual effects, but a farce with shallow content.”

The script lacks enough foreshadowing to give the characters and stories more space for development, which also makes the subsequent plot twists frivolous. It tries to show the insignificance and humbleness of human beings in the face of time, but in the “love can conquer time” And space’ development curve, throwing away all the profoundness and turning it into a cheap sensational work.

At the performance level, Nolan once again showed his timidity in tuning/teaching actors – Hathaway, Chastain, Damon and Kane all performed too much, and the close-up emotional burst Throw away all the finesse and sculpting of the performance, and what you end up with is just a Colombian soap opera roaring performance.

Fortunately, Hall saved it all, restrained and delicate, simple and profound performance calmed the scene, otherwise the movie would have been a big car accident, can’t imagine how bad it would have been; but even Hall’s performance Wasted by the script.

”

“Village Voice”, Sixty Points, “No matter what Nolan’s strengths and strengths are, the only thing that is certain is that he lacks the touch of humanity. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com All his film works are lacking Really ‘sexy’ – I’m not talking about clapping for love or taking off your clothes, in fact, those images are never really ‘sexy’, just pure sensory stimulation ;In all Nolan’s works, the connection of human nature is just a ‘sacred idea’, just like a concept or a term above the textbook – ‘Bible’ – it cannot capture the flesh and blood under the human skin ”

Interstellar” tries to break the shackles of time and space through the fetters of family affection, but the lack of character details makes the script look more like a good student filling in a series of elements in order to piece together a chemical equation, but there is no real The soul.

Renly-Hall mentioned the absence of ‘Tom’ in the Q&A after the premiere, which just proved that Hall was still right about the script’s human capture of the character – in fact, Huo Hall’s performance largely makes up for Nolan’s shortcomings, but Nolan’s directorial control is so strong that even Hall, as an actor, can do very little to remedy.

After watching the film , think about it carefully, and the answer comes out: all reflections, all shocks and all moving are from Hall’s performance, from the spirituality that Hall gave to the characters, not about the movie. If there is no Huo Well, then this is a soulless popcorn movie, and I don’t think it’s better than ‘Transformers.'”
