character biographical films have always been thankless and had to be made. For example, Grandpa Dongmu's 2011 movie "Hoover", which was originally intended to give Xiao Li Shun Shui the title of actor, was made into a running account composed of slides; for example, in 2011, Felida Lloyd's "Hoover" "Iron Lady", if it were not for Aunt Mei's acting skills to save the field, the whole film is really as difficult to swallow as raw rice; another example is Spielberg's "Lincoln" in 2012, the director is not rigorous and well-crafted, Daniel Dai Lewis' acting skills are not surprising, but the audience always feels uncomfortable looking at the stumbling and stumbling. One way to get around this problem is to start small: like Simon Curtis’s "A Week with Monroe", just shoot a short section, but it naturally loses the original meaning of the Biography movie. It can be seen from this that unless the leading role in a character biography film is against the sky, the shooting is always a thankless thing.

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that the targets of the chronicle movies are usually characters that are familiar to women and children. "There is a thousand Hamlet in the hearts of a thousand readers." Everyone looks at the person who looks like the image in their own minds with their own established points of view. Naturally, they always feel that they are not right. It has nothing to do with the director's level. Unless the acting is as amazing as Aunt May and Daniel Day Lewis, even if the makeup artist works harder, the audience will inevitably play.

"Jobs Biography" is such a very typical example. The legend of the leader is still talked about after his death. Walter Isaacson's 656-page (English version) autobiography is also popular all over the world. So how did the teacher get rid of Wozniak when he was not kind when he first debuted, how to abandon a pregnant girlfriend and not recognize her daughter at the beginning of the business, how to successfully become a CEO after being swept away by the board of directors, many fruit fans and some non-fruit fans are also precious. . So how should the director visualize these things? He also founded Pixar and launched a series of classic cartoons, which was acquired by Disney and became Disney's largest shareholder. How do you tell? And the shocking iPhone turned out to be a big book, right?

Yeah, you have to say yes? The movie is only two hours long, with so much content packed in. Daniel Day Lewis has no intention of acting. Considering that Aunt May has never played a man, Ashton Kutcher is a very face-to-face male protagonist. What should I do? There is no way, then you can only cut down the content: the leader was swept out to create Pixar, the branch content has nothing to do with the backbone, and cut; the leader re-headed the CEO and launched the iPod, which was well-received. In 2009, I dragged the sick body and launched an epoch-making product, the iPhone, which changed the smartphone industry. As a result, the audience saw such a biographical film about the character of Lord Qiao without an iPhone, but a brief mention of the iPod.

The film director was too obsessed with the creation of light and images in the first half and seemed too self-conscious. For example, when the teacher was in Reed College, he was basking on the lawn with his girlfriend and friends and suddenly became high like an epiphany, interspersed with the tour of the teacher. The square scene, this is a good idea and bridge, but the director is obviously too sensational and indulged in the use of light. For another example, the teacher took two shots of about 50 seconds from seeing his girlfriend to the time he fell asleep: the time is precious in the movie, but is this plot suitable for audiences with no background knowledge? On the whole, the narrative rhythm of the movie was slightly problematic at the beginning, and after about 20 minutes, it was very comfortable and smooth. In the performance of the actors, Ashton Kutcher was very surprised when he first showed the iPod, very much like the master deity, but the performance was for a while. Later, I began to present the essence of my "face"; in terms of the soundtrack, it was very suitable, but sometimes it may be a little bit of a scene. The end of the film has colored eggs with subtitles, just like "Escape from Tehran".

After so many blacks, I want to say a few good things about the content of the movie: Mi Di established the country for more than two hundred years. The chief business of america is business. Since business has prospered, there is something that has contributed the most, the so-called "entrepreneurship" (Entrepreneurship): extreme, crazy, stubborn, calm, desperate, resolute. Entrepreneurship has no fixed characteristics, invisible and intangible, but it is passed down from generation to generation, from Lucefeller, Carnegie Mellon, Jack Welch, to Joe, the most popular live-action version of Iron Man. Elon Musk. They are focused on their own affairs and have a nearly religious enthusiasm for everything they work on. They are obsessed with taking risks, frantically pioneering, and fearless. If the leader himself dubbed the Apple advertisment,

Dedicated to crazy people, unsocial people, rebels, troublemakers, those round nails in square holes... those who see things differently, they don’t like rules, they Disgusted to stick to the rules. You can quote them, oppose them, mythology or demonize them, but you just can't ignore them, because they can change things, and they push humanity forward. Even if others treat them as lunatics, we see geniuses. Because only those who are crazy enough to believe that they can change the world are the ones who really change the world. (Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do)

This is their era, they are worthy of the human spirit of this era. Their greatness still makes the audience excited.



PS1: If Guofen is familiar with the anecdote of the leader, this film will inevitably be tasteless; if you only hear the name of the leader and don't know about the leader and use Apple products, then this film will definitely not be disappointed.

PS2: The original poster really doesn't like Ashton Kutcher and wants to black out: this boy is too face-to-face.
