Water for Elephants China Evaluation
2022-04-18 17:34
The film's leading actress-Oscar queen Reese Witherspoon 's performance is acceptable, and the eyes that look forward to between her husband and lover are rich in language, giving the beauty, vicissitudes, style and innocence of an aging blond doll. But the male lead Robert Pattinson is very immature. It is not the tenderness that people in the play need, but the tenderness that separates and even breaks away from the character. In the original book, the bare-handed teenager stumbles, looking for warmth and light in love, and looking for deprived dreams in struggle. Whether it's love or struggle in the film, the image seems to lack a bone. It doesn't sink to the bottom or force upwards. The two sides make a mistake, and the determined Jacob seems to be floating in the air. And this "sister and brother love" love is more like a marshmallow that flies into snow silks. It is fluffy and unreal. When you eat it, you will find it is just a mouthful of ordinary sugar.
After the film’s “blank” is concretized, the wild vitality of the circus on the screen is far less vigorous than when you read it. At the same time, the time limit allowed the director to delete many small characters that reflect the tastes of the United States. The emotional communication between Jacob and the elephant was also reduced. More importantly, the novel made a leap against the down-and-out Jacob and began a depression. In the great age, the chasing of the tide, the recognizing of fate, the self-seeking in self-exile, have been severely weakened, and the main and auxiliary lines have all given way to love. This is what Hollywood loves to do: tie all boxes with a cheap pink bow. Many viewers compare it to the "train version" and the "comedy version" of " Titanic "-beginning with a flashback and ending with a flashback, recalling a love triangle that grabbed true love and resisted fake love
