So-so 6.5 points

Adapted based on historical events, today, when "feminist rights" are getting more and more attention, the adaptation strength is earth-shaking. Come back, the Hawking couple played a second fit). Among them, James Glaisher, played by Eddie Redmayne, is a meteorologist. The purpose of his launch is to measure the temperature and humidity in the sky. The heroine played by Felicity Jones is a fictional character that does not exist in history. The one who really went to the sky with the little freckles was the balloonist Henry Coxwell, who took a balloon together on September 5, 1862, and rose to the highest point at that time, 11,000 meters above sea level (that is the story of this movie). The overall impression cannot be said that it is not good-looking, but that this story is not my thing. The same biographical film adaptation is very similar to "Electricity", because I like the theme of "Electricity", so it is very exciting. The process of "Hot Air Balloon" was drowsy. In addition to the climax scene on the hot air balloon, which is still attractive, the parallel editing storyline of the flashback of the process is really a bit bland and boring, and I only feel that the female man is more powerful than the male protagonist. Therefore, it is only neat, and a story is told in a bland and light way, and the advantages and disadvantages coexist in a balanced way. The disadvantage is that the literary drama is boring, the advantage is that the high-altitude scenery is magnificent, and the unique dangers and challenges of hot air balloons are quite eye-catching. So-so 6.5 points level.

    TIFF2019.09.08 Eddie and Felicity reunite again after The Theory of Everything. You can probably tell what they are talking about by looking at the poster and the title. The story is half-real and half-fictional. It restores the adventure of two hot air balloon travelers more than 100 years ago. The high-altitude part is quite exciting, and the group of butterflies in the clouds is so beautiful. Other than that, the rest of it is just mediocre.

    Another star for Eddie. The overall level is only a passing level, and the craftsmanship is too heavy at the same time as there are many problems. The story line is quite satisfactory, the narrative technique is also mediocre, and the functionality of the supporting characters should not be too obvious. The editing is really uncomfortable in some places (even I wonder if it is not cut cleanly...), and the scene switching is very hard. Photography, some lenses are not very comfortable, can you not shake the tombstone? But I think the most terrible thing is the lines, the stage feeling on the ground is too heavy, ordinary people either say it like this, it is the orz of the mission of the sky and the earth (and in fact, James pulls Amelia up and asks her to take him to the sky is too abrupt enough …) The soundtrack can be special effects and actors can be very good! ! ! In fact, if it weren't for the fact that their rivalry was really too emotional, this film could not pass the grid orz. Thanks to Xiaofan for taking this kind of convincing full score again, but in fact, it is necessary to test the acting skills to save the whole film's book orz
