Brutal, sexy, rebellious, charitable, Pete, shake off these old and stale labels, and now she's put on a brand new - director, so let's see if she has a brain - probably this is the mood .
Before its release in China, "Unbreakable" had already earned $7,120 in North America on its Christmas release in 2014 and easily over 100 million in 18 days. It also won three Oscar nominations, and was awarded zero difference by AFI (American Film Institute). The "Boyhood" of the review was rated as the two best films of 2014.
Is it a win-win? Maybe. Did Julie win? not necessarily.
Take a look at the three Oscar nominations - Cinematography, Sound Effects and Sound Editing, a gift from cinematographer Roger Deakins, in which Julie and the Oscars are directly linked in all publicity drafts. For Deakins himself, this is the 12th Oscar nomination in his career, and he has already been nominated in Hollywood for masterpieces such as "The Shawshank Redemption", "Frozen", "No Country for Old Men" and "The Reader". .
Deakins is not the only foreign aid. After the first draft of "Unbreakable", the Coen brothers, who have won the Oscar and are also top screenwriters, were responsible for polishing the script.
Then there is the soundtrack. AD (Alexandre Desplat), who won the Golden Globe for "The Veil" and was nominated for six Oscars, has representative works such as "Rejuvenation", "Tree of Life", "Fantastic Daddy Fox", "Escape from Tehran" ", "The King's Speech", "Philomena" and so on.
To sum up, Deakins' photography + Coen Brothers script + AD's soundtrack is a brief history of Oscar winning. The behind-the-scenes team can no longer be strong, and the actors in front of the screen who choose Julie are the Top fashion worldwide - the fresh meat assembly camp.
Sunny, handsome, melancholy, decadent... From the color of the eyeballs to the choice of hair color, you can listen to your choice, there is always a tea that can be yours. Most importantly, in the movie they all wear military uniforms!
Military uniform, also known as the best uniform temptation for men, once you get on your body, your temperament doubles immediately!
The male protagonist Jack O'Connell is from the British drama "Skin". He is so arrogant that people can't stop licking the screen. To get out of shape, the path of the new male god of acting has been slowly unfolded.
Despite this, the male protagonist is not the only beauty responsible.
The choice of the role of the Japanese officer in the film is also enough to see Julie's intentions in choosing a man. He is played by Takaya Ishihara. Takaya Ishihara's job is not an actor, but a visual musician. The prototype Watanabe in "Unbreakable" was the manager of a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War II. He was called "The Bird" by the prisoners of war. Although only the torture of prisoners of war was filmed in the film, Ya clearly understood the gloom and pervertedness in this role, three points of acting skills, seven points of eyes, and the remaining ninety points can be completed by looks.
Looking behind the scenes, it can be said that Julie got a good hand before the opening, and "Unbreakable" definitely fits the name of unbroken in terms of lineup.
Everything is ready, tickets are issued, and the time on the screen is controlled by the director.
Angelina's "Unbreakable", Angelina's 137 minutes, got the most reviews, mediocre.
To put it simply, this is a [high-energy warning for spoilers ahead] "A child who grew up with a quirky personality and a complex environment, discovered his running talent with the encouragement of his brother, and ran into the Berlin Olympics. When preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, World War II broke out. The Air Force, when participating in a rescue mission, encountered a shipwreck and drifted at sea for 47 days. After being found by a Japanese warship, he was rescued and captured, and then he was transferred to a concentration camp and encountered prisoner abuse. Of course, he finally escaped and ascended to heaven.”
In terms of elements, it's hard to believe that a story that combines so many exciting elements of juvenile growth, war, sports, aerial combat, shipwreck, drifting, homosexuality, and prisoner abuse can be photographed not as chaotic and ugly, but mediocre.
On the other hand, looking at the nominees for this year's Oscar best picture, "The Imitation Game" has war, homosexuality, and biography, "Foxcatcher" has sports and homosexuality, "Boyhood" has teenage growth, and "American Sniper" has war, prisoner abuse, and Compared with them, "Unbreakable" is the real version of "Fighting Landlords took two kings, four twos and the first all out".
Angelina has directed two works so far, both of which are themes of war. What kind of work is her debut "Land of Blood and Honey"? To put it simply, it is based on the Bosnian War from 1992 to 1995, and tells the story of a Bosnian woman falling in love with a Serbian soldier. In terms of elements, it is the biggest genocide after World War II, the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Muslims and Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Western forces and NATO... The complexity of its core is simply better than "Unbreakable".
The director's debut film is usually his own knot, and he has to make another film after one shot, which shows how deep Julie's heart is for the war.
But where does the knot come from?
In an interview in Berlin with "The Land of Blood and Honey", Julie once revealed her view of war - that is to face cruelty.
Therefore, despite the ethical tradition of "do not kill children" in Hollywood, Julie, who knew this, directly showed the scenes of the torture of babies in the film.
At that time, Julie was already the mother of many children, and she would not understand the pain, and it would even be deep, so fueling the wound was the war and cruelty she understood.
In "Unbreakable", the final destination is forgiveness and redemption, which may be Julie's new understanding of returning to the battlefield.
But comprehension is one thing, whether it can be photographed is another.
So you can see the shadow of countless films in "Unbreakable": "The Shawshank Redemption", "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", "Forrest Gump"...Dickins + Coen Brothers + AD brought gifts and also Bringing constraints, technology is always the "tool" of the film, and the exquisiteness of the "tool" cannot restore the lack of spirit.
When asked about the "successful war films" of film critics, there are at least two good examples, one is "Saving Private Ryan" and the other is "Apocalypse Now". angle.
In "Unbreakable", the hero is actually drifting with fate.
The origin of Julie's bond with the war and the third world she went to for filming, what she saw became what she felt, so she visited again and again, with donations, visits, visits to refugee camps, and adoption as her own. child.
This is right, it is kindness, it is human kindness, but it is Julie's self-behavior in the end, not a movie.
Julie, who came from an acting family, her father is Oscar winner Jon Voight, and her mother, Bull Church, is also an actor. Her parents divorced when she was half a year old, and she was already a KISSY GIRL in her childhood, and she is known to the world for her depraved experiences in the girlhood that she never concealed.
"After trying all the drugs, I found out that my favorite is heroin"; I was invited to play a Bond girl, but said I only wanted to play Bond; I announced that I was bisexual when rumors of being gay with Japanese model Jenny Shimizu started; The father publicly dropped the paternal surname from his first name after questioning his parenting ability.
She has at least a thousand other such rebellious stories.
It's hard to know nothing about her, even if you never watch a movie and don't care about humans, it's hard to escape being caught by any label of her inadvertently. She is loved and hated because of this, but she is often collectively forgotten to be an actress, and she is the absolute queen of two golden balls and one golden figure in hand.
Jolie was only 22 years old when she won the Golden Globe for her role as George Wallace's wife in the TV movie "George Wallace," and she won another Golden Globe two years later for "Nice Clothes." TV Movie Best Actress Award, 24 years old, two golden balls in hand. At the age of 25, "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and at the age of 34, "The Changeling" was nominated for the Oscar for the leading actress, but lost to Kate Lewinster's "The Reader."
Such a good talent, but only as a director after the announcement last year. Why bother.
Is Angelina Jolie destined to be a good director? Not necessarily, but her work with being a good director is a paradox in itself.
The latest news about her is to beat Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Queen Elizabeth of England to become "the most beloved woman in the world". The report, published by global market research firm YouGov, compiled the opinions of 25,000 respondents from 23 countries.
This is also consistent with the image she has always chosen. She has removed breasts, paid attention to war, and directed works. Her image is a heresy of the old female image, and it is also de-feminized. De-feminization is reflected in the director's work. To draw a line, draw a line from the emotional capture and psychological process that women are good at, and even draw a line from the personal experience in daily life, which is related to her attention to the grand narrative, but the result of paying attention to the Hongda narrative is to give up Self-life experience, to operate difficult topics.
To put it simply, if Julie is willing to make an autobiography, it will definitely be closer to a good director than "Unbreakable", but if she does, she will no longer be the current Julie.
Finally, I recommend Julie to watch "Birdman", cinema and theater, Laura (Tomb Raider) and Girl, Interrupted (Soul Shifting Girl), Mr. Egg or Chicken, which is the philosophy of the actress herself. question.
