So many actors, only Naomie Harris is the beauty attached to this film

New York in the film is full of Christmas atmosphere. The director's shooting is basically the ice rink under the Rockefeller Building, the bicycle on the Brooklyn Bridge, the lively scene on Fifth Avenue, and the crowd walking in Central Park. New York in this film is too ordinary, too vulgar.
Let’s talk about acting. At first, Will Smith didn’t speak. It looked awkward. He suddenly spoke with a sense of joy. Looking at the bloodshot in Will’s eyes, it is estimated that Will must endure in order to play this role well. Don't sleep, let yourself enter such a state, but this role is really not suitable for him to play, let's put it away, the audience hopes that he will speak quickly to make the audience laugh, let it go, such a role setting is there , must be depressed and silent, and can only roar at fate. So looking at Will Smith's special twist can only give a passing score.
In order to add drama to the stars, the film adds a little bit of material to each character, some have failed marriages, some are planning to have children, some are terminally ill, and then add three actors to come in for various psychotherapy massages, in fact, Will Smith Only one role is needed for his subordinates, and then the three psychological massage technicians only need one role to interpret. There is really no need to order three technicians at the same time, and they will take turns to give you various psychological massages.
Originally, Will Smith and Naomie Harris could interpret the characters well, and finally they were redeemed. The result was like throwing tomatoes, peppers, lemons into a pot of chicken soup. The story lines of so many characters came in and they were blinded. Quite pure chicken soup.
The film's photography has no idea, the screenwriter ruined a good novel, the soundtrack is too overwhelming, the performances of all the stars are uneven, and the director wants to have a bowl of water. It's a pity that there are so many good actors and good stories.
The highlight of the film is the performance of Naomie Harris. This sister's acting skills exploded this year. The role of mother in "Moonlight" completely conquered me. In this film, she continued this performance, and her performance was really wonderful. Especially compared to my big Knightley and big Winslet in soy sauce.
It's also the performance of parents who have lost a child, look at Amy in "Arrival", look at Casey in "Manchester by the Sea", the gap is really big.
Collateral beauty, this word has been repeatedly mentioned in the later stage of the film, I am really afraid that the audience can't get what you want to express. At the end of the film, there was a forced reversal, and I was also poked by this reversal to the point of urinating, and I kept looking forward to the end of the film.
