1. It has not received a good response from film critics. IMDB scored six points, which is obviously higher. There are currently only 35% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Even film critics from the "Guardian" who are famous for their antagonists only gave two stars.
2. It complies with a famous "Disaster Film Code". Many big names in the film refused to mention the film afterwards and were unwilling to accept interviews.
3. Take a step back and say that in fact, in film reviews, the actors' thoughts are not important. What matters is what the audience thinks. As an enthusiastic fan who wants to watch all kinds of garbage, I summarize this film in one sentence: After 111 minutes of fatigue, the movie failed to return to the audience in the end. For movies without Mingtang, a lot of effort was spent on finding all kinds of clues, but they couldn't put together a look.
The audience worked hard to guard the slow progress of the story, imaginatively pretending to be dialogue, running scenes, and astounding the world for 111 minutes. Then what is the final reward: Cameron Diaz's dress Capuchin Fir is so sexy to drink champagne? I go! Ridley Scott is after all an old man in his 80s, and everything he took out was full of impotence.
In fact, Diaz's performance is not too bad, the climax came early when she was lingering with Uncle Baden's Ferrari. The bad thing is that the story is nondescript. It disdains to explain the cause and effect, the relationship between the characters, and the context of the story. Instead, it puts out lines and props for everyone to enjoy.
First of all, Fassbender is a small lawyer with a big sesame mung bean size. The Counselor is generally the lowest-class lawyer, and he also fights divorce property lawsuits. How can he participate in tens of millions of drug transactions with such a big deal. Secondly, what exactly did this lawyer do, he just released a trivial little express? What else did he do except this little thing? Need such a fuss? His last few tears seemed unnecessary. Is Uncle Fa going by the way again?
Finally, what is Diaz's motivation: a-cheetah comprehensiveness? b-sex fanatic? c-cut head addict d-gather money? e-Mother Satan? Judging from the ending of the movie, it was d, but she rushed to kill her, but instead of killing Fassbender's character, she sent him the DVD that killed his wife? Is it punishment? In this way, it seems that e
speculates from the whole story that the movie wants to portray her into an almighty Sun Erniang. But using such a crappy script to shape it, it seems so thin. To build an all-powerful villain, especially a woman, is not just a few leopard-print tights, some monster-colored nail polish, a few phone calls and some cruel words, and a few strokes of the thigh can be done. The fullness of the characters needs details to capture, dialogues to set off, and actors' performances at different levels to complete. Look at Annie Wilkes in "Ten Days of Danger", look at Alex Forrest in "Fatal Attraction", and look at Catherine Tramell in "Instinct". These impressive lethal female characters did not try to A man’s drug lord model is set on a woman in a sexy tights. Although "Kill Bill" has similar suspicions, Quentin seems to be much purer, using real swords and guns.
Look at Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" last year that seems to have the same problem. The movie didn't finish talking about one person, but quickly went to the next person. Kristin Scott Thomas in another pretending blockbuster film "Only God Can Forgive" was also a similar evil girl role. Leopard print + a few lines that are not surprising and endless. Lack of imagination.
Besides the script lines, the Pulitzer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy, who is also in his 80s, is a well-respected screenwriter. His "No Country for Old Men" and "The Road" are both classics. Old people always like to play with philosophy and the Great Wilderness of the West. The things they write are metaphysical golden pearls. Unfortunately, the places used in the movies always feel wrong. For example, a godfather-shaped old man talked to Fassbinder about a lot of the duality of subject and object and the opposite view of life and death on the phone. In fact, people only want to know the whereabouts of his wife. Another example is Pete’s set of fixed-pattern oily tunes, Sister Card’s "be careful what you wish for", and Baden’s self-deprecation and adjustments similar to those in 007, with a handful of lines, layer by layer, to show the true meaning of a monk. Put on the drug lord.
The only bright spot may be that Baden compares Diaz's private parts to Catfish (catfish, red-tailed duckbill). Baden said: Really it was...Hallucinatory. You see a thing like that, it changes you. Fassbinder said: Jesus. The audience laughed.
Generally speaking, the lines have depth, but they are not supported by the plot, which seems a little empty. I wrote a lot, and I summarized three things:
1. In recent years, it’s better not to watch Pete in movies
2. Two movies constructed by older people in their 80s may consume too much oxygen in the brain, so it’s best not to work for 8 hours. Look later.
3. Movies with couples starring at the same time are basically not very good-looking
