      Thinking about Type

      When I first watched it, I felt that the film was a bit untyped in terms of narrative. But after careful consideration, this view seems somewhat untenable. Its non-typing is more derived from the confusion of types. At least in this film, we can see the mashup of three types. The first is neuro-comedy, which is also the main character setting of the heroine; the second is the love type. ; Finally, the workplace drama.

      Generally speaking, the mashup of the two types is enough to support...

      [Film Review] Broadcast News (1987) 7.9/10

      Four years after having homered in the Oscar race with TERMS OF ENDEARMENT (1983), James L. Brooks released BROADCAST NEWS, his much-anticipated sophomore feature film and again it became a big player and reaped 7 Oscar nominations, only to get the goose egg in the end of the game.

      Set in the Washington DC's national TV broadcast station, the film is an unabashed workplace relationship comedy...

      some views

      I've watched this film so many times, and I really appreciate it. I have watched 3 of Brooks' films, in addition to this film, there is a mother-daughter relationship and perfection. I think a major feature of his films is that they are very rich in content. Compared with ordinary films, a lot of things have been added to the theme, plot, and characters, and it is not so easy to absorb. I checked his movies, and they are basically more than 2 hours. The length and rhythm of such scripts are...

      It's a bit mediocre. Journalism morality is put in a secondary position, and the tangled love triangle is put in the first place, which is a bit awkward to look...

    Evaluation action

    In the film, director Brooks connects the triangular relationship of the three protagonists with the broadcast world, and he shifts the mood from romantic to comical, from generalized comedy to subtle relationships. Brooks' observations are as acute as Woody Allen 's, but he's not overly narcissistic. Rather than using himself as a metaphor, he infuses these emotions and observations into the characters he directs   . (The Washington...
