The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2423

[Two thousand three hundred and eighty-six prospects are unpredictable]

In addition to Italy’s “Daily Facts”, two media outlets, Germany’s “Times” and Britain’s “Screen”, both gave two stars.

Germany’s “Times”, “The film’s strange opening in a cold tone firmly grasps the audience’s attention. It is very attractive from the setting to the concept, and the performance of the cold machinery is the icing on the cake. Lost began to appear, the director did not seem to be 100% sure of his narrative focus, not only missing the greatest core of black humor: ‘human transformation into animals’; but also on the themes of love and family, relationship and class. The swaying shift caused all the energy accumulated in the first half to vanish.”

The German media’s “hate iron is not steel” can be deeply felt between the lines. Later, the magazine also wrote an in-depth film review to analyze it. , from the entire story frame to the main clues to the branch layout, and then in-depth analysis of the beginnings and transitions of the plot, expressed deep regret for the “chaos” of the final product, they believed that “Oggs-Lanthimos is fully equipped to shoot a film. An opportunity for the title to be included in a classic of history.”

At the same time, the article also emphasizes the excellence of the entire cast, not just Renly. Actors such as Ben Whishaw, Rachel Weisz and John C-Reilly all gave wonderful performances. The seemingly dull but ingenious way of performing gives the characters more connotations worth exploring, which is why the article believes that “movies have countless possibilities”.

“In the entire script—or in the entire film, the only character with a clear context and a three-dimensional image is David, played by Renly Hall.

The rise and fall of emotions and the advancement of ideas are complete and vivid, delicate and vivid. Profoundly, Renly-Hall gives the character infinite possibilities within a limited space; unfortunately, this is the only complete character, and the lack of details of other characters leaves the actors with no more room to play, and also limits the film’s further development. Further,

the final result is that David and other characters, David and the main line of the plot are also slightly separated, because the real core idea intertwined between the characters and the plot has not been clearly established, and the cohesive strength will also show a collapse. state, which in turn affects the resonance of the audience.”

Later, this article entered the sight of the “Lobster” crew, and Renly even took the initiative to share the article’s views with Oggs, and the two sides exchanged opinions with each other.

During the film’s promotion period, Oggs also publicly expressed his gratitude, not only thanking the reporters of the German “Times”, and learning a lot from it, but also mentioning the discussion between him and Renly before the filming of the film, obviously they are aware of it the problem and try to adjust it.

“As they say, Renly’s character is definitely the most complete and clearest, because Renly knows what he’s doing and where he should be heading, and this film can get to where it is now, Renly’s character. It is

far bigger than imagined; unfortunately,

we did not spend enough time to polish all the other characters, and the core ideas of the second half of the plot were not condensed. The final product does have room for improvement.

I think, this is what we need The reason for continuous learning and continuous growth.”

Oggs not only accepted the opinions humbly, and completed the review; he also sincerely explained the episode that was so critical of Renly at the beginning, which made him truly realize that a good actor is very important to Renly. irreplaceable importance for the entire film.

Such a gesture has won a lot of applause in North America and Europe. People not only did not complain about “lobster” because of this, but also generated more interest.

It also gave “The Lobster” a good spot during awards season — of course, that’s all for another day.

Back to the Cannes Film Festival.

The last media outlet to give a two-star rating was British Screen.

“Indeed, ‘The Lobster’ is a unique and deafening piece of work, a mirror-like filming technique that presents the current situation of our lives and makes us start to reflect on our marital relationships and social class, like a scalpel. The icy lines of the film outline the frame of the entire era. The mastery skills of Ogus Lanthimos showed through the film, and he initially showed a master style, but the gap between him and Stanley Kubrick lies in his humanistic care. superior–

The film’s thematic core is cold and alienating, even a little smug, like the New York intellectuals mocking other poets for pretending to care about the world.

It’s arrogant and arrogant and fails to resonate with the audience.

But we still can’t deny that Lanthimos did boldly challenge the sensitive nerves of some people; also, we can’t deny that the performance of Renly Hall and Rachel Weisz has a keen sense And the delicate touch gives the movie something more profound.

It’s just that we’re also not sure what ‘something’ actually is.

”

The above are the ten media reviews of the official Cannes magazine.

It is difficult to see too many clues from the scores of the magazine. No one can predict the prospect of “Lobster” in Cannes this year. From the current mainstream trend, French media They generally expressed a positive attitude. This is precisely the work that conforms to the aesthetic style of the Coen brothers. It is indeed very promising to win the award.

However, the wind is only the wind direction, and the media cannot accurately predict the preferences of the jury. This is long before the three major European film festivals. It’s nothing new. In the

end, the official publication was released, with two five-stars, four three-stars, three two-stars, and one one-star. In the end, “Lobster” got 2.7 out of 4 points.

If you look closely, you can find that firstly, the reviews are relatively average; secondly, positive reviews outnumber negative reviews, the number of five-stars is higher than the number of one-stars, and the number of three-stars is also higher than the number of two-stars. In other words, the

overall

In other words, the comments of “Lobster” are still trending towards a positive trend amid debates and heated discussions.

The average score of 2.7 is the most direct reflection.

For the Cannes Film Festival, only works with a score of three or more can be called It is a “classic masterpiece”, such as the “Drunken Country Ballad” two years ago; but in history, there are only more than 20 works that can win more than three points of evaluation at the Cannes Film Festival, and the number is very rare.

2.7 Score, this is already a very good evaluation, then, where exactly is the “lobster” in the main competition unit – the official journal can be seen at a glance.

Today is the sixth day of the Cannes Film Festival. The annual event is just over halfway through. The screening plans of the main competition, the director’s fortnight, a kind of concern and other units are steadily unfolding, and the most high-profile main competition unit has already been screened. Eight works have been published, and all ratings are publicly presented:

“Haijie Diary”, 2.5.

“Stories of Stories”, 2.0.

“Son of Thor”, 2.8.

“My Mother”, 2.7.

“Aokigahara Sea of Trees”, 0.6.

“My King”, 1.4.

“Market Law”, 2.3.

“Lobster”, 2.7.

No analysis is required at all, the overall pattern of the main competition unit is very clear.

Gus Van Sant’s “Aokihara Tree Sea” landed in Cannes with much anticipation, but encountered an unprecedented full-scale hit. This work starring Matthew McConaughey faced a lot of criticism. Created the lowest magazine score in Cannes since the 21st century, which is particularly tragic.

Hungarian director Laszlo-Nemes’ feature debut “Son of Sol” was rejected by the Berlin Film Festival’s main competition at the beginning of the year. Although it could be screened out of competition, the main creative team decided to give up Berlin. Came to Cannes, and finally ushered in a huge success, currently leading the highest score in the magazine with 2.8 points, and also won a full house at the premiere, the Coen brothers and Sienna Miller were both in tears.

Then… Italian director Nanni-Moretti’s new work “My Mother” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Lobster” also temporarily tied for second place with 2.7 points, ahead of The Japanese director is Hirokazu Kore-eda’s topical work “Haijie Diary”, and the evaluation is even better.

So what exactly does this mean?

The answer is: it doesn’t mean anything.

The journal is the journal, the rating is the rating, and the award is another matter. The aesthetics of media reporters cannot represent the opinions and viewpoints of the jury.

But one thing is certain: “Lobster” is far from hitting the streets, and it’s not even as severe and harsh as the verbal criticism that “Separate” faced at the beginning; Renly, who once again challenged comedy performances after “Anti-Cancer Me”, unexpectedly refreshed The public impression once again brought a novel performance.

It can be said with certainty that Renly, who just won the second Oscar statue not long ago, still maintains his usual high level.

That’s enough.

What’s more, Renly was still able to set off the reporter’s discussion, even if he was on the street; so, it had no effect on the reporter.

“So, how does it feel?” Bradley threw an introduction while waiting for Renly to finish reading the journal.

Renly pursed the corners of his mouth, “I really want to see ‘Son of Sol’ and ‘Aokihara Tree Sea’ two works. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com “One has the highest score and the other has the lowest score.

Bradley couldn’t help laughing.

Gavin asked curiously, “Why? Just because of the good and bad reviews?”

“Part of it. I have to admit, what kind of work did Gus shoot to get such a low score from the media.” Lan Li glanced at the show again: six one star, four media refused to comment, which is really too bad, “If I remember correctly, when ‘The Elephant’ premiered at Cannes, it was too controversial. , there are even reporters who fight at the media conference. I guess, is this the same for this work?” In

the last life, Renly never watched the work “Aokihara Tree Sea” because he felt it was unnecessary, but Now that his perspective and ideas have changed, he does have some curiosity.

“Christopher Nolan personally confirmed that the number one choice for ‘Interstellar’ was Matthew McConaughey, but he chose you in the end. After missing this work, Matthew’s work in the two years seems to be the same. It failed to meet expectations and is generally considered to be the curse of the little golden man, and this time the ‘Aokigahara Sea of Trees’ faced such an encounter, what do you think?”
