Raise the average score of a group of Chinese New Year movies Not a spoiler :)

I took a look at the preview first, then the lineup, and finally checked the North American release date, and determined that this was a bowl of Chinese New Year chicken soup. New York at Christmas, the transformation of the protagonist and supporting roles, and a happy ending (not a spoiler, after all, it can be seen from the preview). Collateral beauty is undoubtedly a high-scoring commercial film, but the title is not very pleasing. The plot is simple and clear in structure. The first half is full of comedy effects, and the second half is reversed to ensure that the audience is satisfied with the chicken soup in these 94 minutes.

It has to be said that the standard scene configuration from Rockefeller Center, Central Park to Brooklyn Bridge has supported a New York promotional film by David Frankel. Looking at the strong Christmas atmosphere in the film, David Frankel must be familiar with it, but it seems a little too commercial and not sincere.

There is no need to go into details about the acting skills, and I have always been very confident in the old actors. It is worth mentioning that the performances of Helen Mirren and Keira Knightley, who played Death and Love respectively in this film, have significant dramatic performance characteristics. It seems that this is the feeling that I have only after I have been exposed to drama myself, and I have a deeper understanding of when a dialogue-type performance is needed and when an intense or even exaggerated performance is needed. Although it is a commercial film, it is worth remembering if a good script is in hand and the details are enriched. As someone who analyzes movies and always has trouble remembering and likes to watch them over and over again, after I left the theater, I listened to my friends recall the details. For example, after Keira in the red hat brought Norton to the theater, Mirren said "Good job" to Keira. I thought that I wanted to praise her for bringing in sponsors, but in fact, the ending of the contact had a different meaning. Another example is Jacob Latimore, who plays Time, saying "Ask her if she can see me" to Smith.

The imdb said to lock the Oscar, at least the script of Allan Loeb will definitely be on the list. Overall, Loeb and Frankel have a good story to tell. Let's end by quoting the title line in the play, "Collateral beauty is the profound connection to everything," I wish you a happy viewing.
