Good film angle

A very good film. Especially Angela Bessett's performance, her graceful figure and rich body language make Juliette a ridiculous foil, even though the latter is almost naked. The fly in the ointment is that Ralph Fiennes, who is too artistic, became a sleepwalker in the film. I don't think he was in the play. But the cowardice and incompetence of the character was exaggerated by him, which made people hate the protagonist. Maybe it was the director’s feminist thinking that made Ralph embarrassed and dressed like a gay. And his emotional drama is even more terrible. Apart from these, the entertainment of this film is still very high. As for why it has not become popular, I think it is because there is no big name to play the role! CAST people should be punished heavily!

    Roxie New Year's Eve 35mm film version. The elements of sci-fi are not very prominent. The style of the picture and the strict inspection of the five steps and one post on the road are very "apocalyptic", and it is easy to think of "Blade Runner" and the psychedelic stories written by PKD. This kind of background and setting, the expression of black and white racial issues, makes me feel very divided. The ex-girlfriend of the male protagonist and the emotional scene forcibly added at the end are very annoying, otherwise it will make a pretty good movie. suspenseful crime film. Standing at the end of the first year of the second decade of the 21st century, when people of the last century imagined the countdown to the turn of the century, it seemed like a lifetime. Even today, two years after the outbreak of the epidemic, when I watch the New Year's Eve scene with a huge crowd in the movie, I feel that my hair is standing on end and I can't bear it.

    Back then, the ending scene of Wu Zhenyu's "The Alliance of Waste Wood" once irritated me. Now it seems that it should be the ending scene of Strange Days, but Bigelow's scheduling and shooting are better. There's some cult and dark humor in the movie (the little details like ripping off the wig and froze and Fiennes waking up after falling to the ground and saying what's wrong are fun). A large number of first-person POVs are very game perspective and real, and the senses are very advanced, but the book still feels a bit scribbled (dump Cameron). And Fiennes's acting skills were completely beaten in the film. It's too oily. I've never seen such oily Fiennes hahaha. I always think he's quite powerful, but this film really doesn't work...

Strange Days quotes

  • Lenny Nero: See... I can get you what you want, I can. I can get you anything, you just have to talk to me, you have to trust me. You can trust me, 'cause I'm your priest, I'm your shrink... I am your main connection to the switchboard of the soul. I'm the magic man... Santa Claus of the subconscious. You say it, you think it, you can have it.
