      The director's strong author consciousness surfaced

      This young new director who is highly praised by the Venice Film Festival is really staggering. Only two feature films that have been filmed can attract a large number of stars to help out. In this second work, he can also persuade the heroes and heroines of the play. It’s incredible that Natalie Portman and Jude Law are executive producers! This may have something to do with his previous actor's resume, or it may be that his creative talent has convinced many insiders. Although he is a...

      Only ambition and ideas can be praised

      In this film, the director tries to use the protagonist's personal experience to insinuate the mentality of the entire Western countries in the social environment of the new era. It is divided into four acts, from prologue to closing, to gradually deepen and reveal the theme.

      First of all, in the prologue, the terrorist attack that the protagonist himself encountered in his childhood is quite meaningful in his performance. The director first described the extremely life-like daily...

      That's why I love POP music.I don't want people to have to think too hard. i just want them to feel good.

      As a musical, the whole movie is like the Korean group Wonder Girl who was dancing Nobody non-stop many years ago. Those who dance may be you and me who are forced to perform at the annual meeting, or they may be stars who participate in variety shows to gain attention. It's just that the protagonist of this movie is positioned as a popular female singer.

      Natalie Portman's acting skills are not particularly brilliant in this movie. The expressiveness of the emotional breakdown before...

      Opposite of regular drama

      "The Sound of Light", I thought it was related to music, but it turned out to be a school shooting when the friendly teacher in the classroom was suddenly shot, and the brave female student was shot. Then ten minutes later, the end-of-title subtitles...? ? ? But it’s actually related to music (although the last concert clip is also a bit strange, the female protagonist’s appearance as a queen does not match her singing voice...)-because of the shooting, the female lead sang a song and left....

      Backlit diva (Vox Lux, 2018)

      1. The story opens with a fascinating posture: how the protagonist's experience of shooting trauma was sold for money. From this, we realize that the film presents consumerism that is even more terrifying than terrorism (consumerism is a point that is difficult for people living in its social pattern to detect). Echoing: The voice-over of the movie reminds that, on the verge of death, the protagonist and the devil made a Faust-style deal.

      2. We have seen how a living body has been...

      A movie that is difficult to evaluate, it is like two movies before and after, how a calm, precocious girl becomes an emotionally tired middle-aged woman, what happened in the middle is completely ignored, causing the movie to be a bit inexplicable, but there is one thing you can get What the director wants to express, the development of Western society in recent years under the personal and terrorist attacks, there is still something to...

      Brady Corbett became famous in the first battle and invited a star-studded lineup, but the shortcomings are still the same as the previous one, and he forgot what he wanted when he patted it... A pop star born on the basis of the campus terrorist attack, many There are so many good topics that can be said, but it turns out that every link is extremely weird. It’s a pity that from the beginning of the shooting case, it basically makes people roll their eyes, not to mention the lazy narration....

      How can it be better than asib. The opening shot was really good. There is no problem with the design of the two parts that are split in the front and rear, but I still prefer the first half. I really laughed at the last concert. I don't know if Sia's song was written badly or Bobo sang it more badly. It was too casual... Tingmei is so beautiful. [The subtitles of the CHD subtitle group are...

    Evaluation action

    "Vox Lux" is a spectacle full of wisdom, one foot is involved in traditional European art, while the other foot is deeply involved in popular culture. (Comment on "International Screen") 
    Corbett's high-level feature films are both thought-provoking and sensory. In the midst of screaming roars and fiery stage performances, there is no repeating but the history of the same rhythm is disturbing, and it always has a disco-like rhythm....H
