The Greatest Showman - Chapter 1963

[1928 Controversy Vortex]

“San Francisco Chronicle,” 50.

Los Angeles Times, 40.

“Village Voice”, 60 points.

The Guardian, 50.

When I saw the unqualified scores, I couldn’t believe that this was actually a cooperation project of “Nolanga Hall”, which was shocking.

In addition, there is the “Variety” magazine, which also gave a 60-point evaluation.

“The film could have unfolded in many ways, but unfortunately, Nolan chose to present this ambitious project in the most boring and minimal way, completely lost in the vastness and infinity of space. Among them, even Hall’s advanced performance failed to save the mediocrity and vulgarity at the core of the theme.

Does Nolan’s understanding of family love only have such a degree? Or is it that Nolan’s film language is not enough to show the complexity of human nature And what about depth? Is the director who filmed ‘The Dark Knight’ still there? The only good thing is that those talking to themselves in space can’t be heard on Earth.”

From “Playlist Since the beginning of the serious bad reviews of “Interstellar”, “Interstellar” is being chased and blocked by film critics, and the severe criticism is endless. You can clearly feel the hatred from people in the industry. Can’t agree.

If you look closely at the film reviews, you can see that the criticism mainly comes from disappointment and gaps.

Science fiction films such as “2001 A Space Odyssey” and “Blade Runner” can withstand the test of time and eventually become classics in film history. The main reason is the discussion of human nature. The exploration of human nature between machines has undoubtedly raised the ideological core of the film to a whole new level.

But “Interstellar Crossing” puts all its focus on…”Power generation with love”. From the perspective of thinking depth and breadth, this is definitely a serious miss.

Although at the end of the film, Renly once again used the performance to regain a city, giving the theme more possibilities to extend; but from the reunion of Cooper and Murphy, the whole story has lost the possibility of deep thinking, not to mention the test of time. , and now you can see the essence of its “soap opera”.

This is definitely not the space epic one would expect.

It seems that this is the most severe criticism attack on Renly’s work since the “detachment”. To be precise, even the “detachment” has not faced such a fierce attack – at least, “detachment” is an author’s film , whether the film critics like it or not, they also know that the director is not trying to please the audience; but “Interstellar” is a commercial film,

and the communication with the audience is undoubtedly the most important, which also makes the film critics full of firepower.

So, does this mean that Renly’s “Waterloo” just appeared?

Sadly, the haters will have to wait a bit longer.

The ferocity of the negative reviews, the embarrassment and disappointment of the middle reviews, were all drowned out in the cheers and applause of the positive reviews. There were 38 positive reviews, which sounded the sailing horn of the “Interstellar Crossing” media comprehensive review!

The New York Times, One Hundred, “Is it another ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’? Apparently not! ‘Interstellar’ just tells a very light and very personal story that puts all the weight on’ On the theme of “Love and Sacrifice”, it brought the heaviest and most profound emotional collision of 2014! Nolan brought a more sincere emotional bond experience than “Inception.”

“The Hollywood Reporter”, a Percentage, “I can predict that many people will compare this film next to ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’, which is actually a compliment; but unfortunately, this is not another ‘Odyssey’, and Nolan is not another Kubrick. Nolan tells a story of returning home in his own way, crossing the barriers of time and space, leaving aside the discussion of human nature and divinity, but sincerely telling the story of human beings The most real and closest bond.”

The original English name of “2001: A Space Odyssey” is “2001: A Space Odyssey”, which draws on the second half of Homer’s epic “Odyssey” story to deduce a space adventure; now, “Interstellar” also tells an Odyssey That’s why The Hollywood Reporter has such a saying.

“Chicago Sun,” One Hundred, “Undoubtedly, this is the best sci-fi movie of the new century, a thrilling space adventure to think about the meaning of life and the meaning of family, and even further explore the relationship between human beings and society. The relationship between them has given a new vitality to space science fiction movies from another perspective! The actors headed by Hall, Hathaway and Chastain gave wonderful performances, which made the story full of countless charms, which are worth chewing. There is no Doubt, this is a masterpiece!”

“Empire”, one hundred percent, “One of the most wonderful movies in the new century! Full of wisdom! Full of special effects! It is also full of reflection and precipitation! It is almost equivalent to Stephen- Hawking’s ‘Star Trek’: a space opera that takes place inside the brain, and then deduces the changes of the soul in the time and space shuttle, perfectly combining science and human nature! The most surprising part is still Renly-Huo Well, his unique touch gives the characters and the film an astonishingly unique charisma, who else can say ‘no’ to him?”

The Daily Telegraph, 100%, “This is Nolan’s most ambitious yet The most outstanding work! A high degree of combination of technology and ideas! All scientific theories and shooting skills are truly served to emotions, characters! Characters! Characters! This is the core of the whole film, and then gives full play to the powerful The unique charm of the cast and cast is definitely enough to rank among the best in the new century, a masterpiece not to be missed!”

One hundred percent.

One hundred.

Still one percent.

There are as many as ten media that have given full marks, including the absolutely authoritative media in the industry such as “The New York Times” and “The Hollywood Reporter”. Basically, the number of perfect scores from ten professional media is exactly the same as the number of media that gave middle reviews. In other words, how many media are dissatisfied, so how many media can give perfect praise without reservation.

It can be clearly seen that the most dissatisfied part of the media is the “emotion” part. The continuous rendering of too soap operas and too sensational completely destroys the depth and heaviness of science fiction movies – in fact, this can also be regarded as “” The difference between “hard sci-fi” and “soft sci-fi” is that hard sci-fi always has more possibilities for discussion at the technical level, so it has the possibility of extending and expanding at the levels of artificial intelligence, human nature and divinity.

“Gravity” can be regarded as a half example. This work cannot be regarded as hard science fiction, but the core discussion on the origin of life has the possibility of sublimation and interpretation, so it has been unanimously praised by film critics; “Interstellar Crossing” “On the contrary, it can be said that the gods have returned to the human world.

The full-score media just recognized the “soft sci-fi” part. They believed that this was Nolan’s discussion of human nature. Although it was a little cliché and a little simple, it also completed the transition from sci-fi to emotion. A sublimation that should be a return, allowing the audience to find resonance.

Is “2001 A Space Odyssey” a classic?

Yes!

But that doesn’t mean all sci-fi movies need to go in the direction of “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

The same factors, in the eyes of some people are disadvantages, in the eyes of others are advantages, this is the difference.

In addition to ten full-scoring media, 28 other media have given positive reviews, and the scoring range has continued from 70 points to 95 points. The span can still be felt from the side. The heated debate that sparked, the ambiguous viewing experience was indeed a mixed bag.

“Vanity Fair”, ninety-five points, “Unexpectedly, ‘Interstellar’ has become a wild beast in the primitive jungle of Hollywood, the grand picture presents an epic sense, and the delicate emotion awakens resonance, seemingly light And the simple narrative of fetters has caused a lot of reflection. Although I know this is a commonplace, but… Renly Hall is still the core of the whole film, and his performance lights up the big screen again!”

“New York Post”, Ninety Points, “Like all the successful science fiction films of the past, Christopher Nolan uses powerful visual language and visual effects to create a space adventure that finally reflects all the mirror images to humans. On himself, examine himself through science fiction. Although Nolan’s discussion topic this time is a bit narrow, the depth and complexity are surprising. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com is more sincere than any previous work.

” A complete movie”, eighty-eight points, “although the length of the film is disgusting, and the third part is completely reduced to a soap opera; but it still can’t hide the fact that ‘Interstellar’ is a space opera, and it deserves all kinds of praise , really touch the softness in the heart and the thinking in the soul through images, about human nature and time, and the most interesting thing is about the fetters and loneliness between individuals and families.

The wonderful and Excellent makes people think again: Should we pull all the directors and producers of all sci-fi movies into one screening room, and then collectively watch the Stanley Kubrick split shot – that’s already a light-year The previous manuscript is gone, but it is still the top existence in the industry. Nolan has only learned half of his skills, and he has already made a candidate for the best science fiction film in the new century.”

“Independent Telegram”, 83 points, “full of Wisdom is also full of surprises. ‘Interstellar’ is precisely the kind of work that the contemporary Hollywood industry desperately needs, no matter how much critics hate soap operas and sensational parts, but it is undeniable that it finds a kind of work in business and art. A balance, Nolan has transformed the mysterious space into a children’s playground, but every picture of the visual effects and sound effects can make the audience think, at least, it encourages you to think about time, about family , about loneliness, and about myself.”
