      Who's the Player?

      For the graphic version, see http://www.mtime.com/my/mnauce/blog/763032/

      Altman finally tells the story, and he tells it so well. Of course, this is not all Altman's credit, the screenwriter Michael Tolkin also contributed, and it can even be said that this film is the success of Tolkin first, and then Altman's success. However, it doesn't matter who is more important. The important thing is that this film is so exciting. Count how many big and small stars appeared in the film, how...

      DreamWorks formula

      Black satirical comedy.

      Hollywood satirizes herself, and it's pretty good.

      Starring Tim Robbins, once starred in "Shawshank's Redemption", acting online. The supporting roles are not ordinary people, including Oscar winners like Hubi Goldberg.

      There are a total of 65 celebrities, such as Cher, Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts, Andy McDowell, etc. starring themselves, Susan Sarandon and others appearing in the film, and they don’t even have a name, but like Like the star...

      Player in Robert Altman-Kansas City


      Comparing Kansas City ("The Last Night of Kansas") and the player ("Big Player"), the first
      impression of course is that both films have such an excellent ending, which is amazing.

      But of course there will be differences when comparing the two carefully. The cold-blooded person in Kansas City is the last to show up. You think she is the
      weakest, the weakest, but in fact not, she can shoot down the poor and cute kidnapping. 's head, and then
      say to her husband, "you...

      Your "idol" is not "caught" this time, but "retired".

      There is a proverb in the Chinese "Awakening the World and Constant Words": If a gentleman takes revenge, he waits for three years (or he no longer recites the old evil), and the villain takes revenge only in front of his eyes. For the "upstart" Altman who was expelled by "Hollywood" and now invited to "Gosford Manor", the nineties seemed to be the golden age of his "revenge and hatred." Of course, this has a lot to do with the artist's understanding of "just staying for...

      Ultraman always creates some deliberate coincidences, which can be understood as being clever or clever. After all he keeps reminding you that this is just a movie. The ending was a cold...

      So much fun! 1. The eight-minute long shot at the beginning is wonderful. 2. The vagueness and reality at the end refer to the director's previous work "Army Field...

      As mentioned in the film principle, a catchy beginning, a wonderful middle, and a perfect ending. The story clearly does these things, the first eight minutes of long shots are a bit of fun, and the end producer and fringe writers agree to write, absurd and ironic. Hollywood storytelling is within 25 words, which is not consistent with the art film system, it is another craft. Compared with Hollywood, the domestic film and television context is still not harsh enough. I really like Tim Robbins....

      Robert Altman Part II. Although it is only the second Ultraman work I have seen, receiving and mining the amount of information in its dense group portraits has become my pleasure in watching movies. It's amazing, but the fun of group portraits fades after focusing on the main line - but there are still wonderful scripts, dense shadow stalks, and various smart and interesting intertexts... I look forward to and believe Robert Altman Or will be my second Stanley...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The first 8 minutes of long shot rehearsal took a day, and the shooting took a day and a half, and it took 15 shots to complete. Five of them were developed and the third shot was selected for use in the movie. The dialogue in the scene is improvised, and there is no subtitle at the end. 
    The shots of Jeff Daniels wearing a surgeon's robe playing golf in the hospital and Patrick Swayze showing off his karate skills were all shot, but...

    Evaluation action

    "The Player" is a Hollywood moral story. It is superficial, but it is also more appropriate. It is not an apocalyptic "Day of the Locust", but a satirical parody of Hollywood. "The Player" uses a large group of Hollywood celebrities to play mass roles, but the main actors do not have many celebrities. It uses an easy-to-understand murder story as the heart and soul of the film, but the crime itself is not the key point of the film.
    "The...

      June: What took you so long?

      Griffin Mill: Traffic was a bitch.

    • Griffin Mill: So, what's the story?

      Walter Stuckel: Twenty-five words or less? Okay. Movie exec calls writer. Writer's girlfriend says he's at the movies. Exec goes to the movies, meets writer, drinks with writer. Writer gets conked and dies in four inches of dirty water. Movie exec is in deep shit. What do you think?

      Griffin Mill: That's more than 25 words and it's bullshit.
