Xiao Ke recommends this movie mainly in the following aspects: The
casting is successful. It is estimated that no one will be confused by the role of Brosnan as the killer, especially when a Baoshijie racing car was blown into the sky at the beginning, which deliberately reminded the audience that this killer was very convincing. Brosnan's moustache, gold necklace, and the belly of a man who started to get blessed in his middle age all provided material proof of the killer's lonely and bitter side. Danny's actor Greg Kinnear looks like a typical American middle-class man, and it is more appropriate for him to play such a "random character". At the same time, with the development of the plot, when Danny grows a mustache, there is a strange similarity between Greg and Brosnan standing together, which makes people laugh.
The performance is outstanding. The Chicago Sunshine Times said that the killer Julian was one of the most successful roles in Brosnan's acting career. This character not only has a cold and merciless side, but is also acrimonious to others, but deep in his heart he is very lonely and fragile, and has a strong desire for friendship and family affection. Especially Julian’s desperate collapse at the Tucson Racecourse due to his patients’ inability to perform the task. Brosnan’s tearful sky-blue pupils, pale and trembling lips, and desperate and helpless expression all gave Julian a full face. Interpretation of orientation. In a comedy, Julian is one of the few characters with a full and deep heart from multiple angles. Brosnan deserves to be nominated for Best Actor in a Golden Globe Comedy/Musical for this role.
The picture is beautiful. Mexico City is colorful, and the matadors' gorgeous costumes are very eye-catching.
The plot is unexpected. Xiaoke personally thinks that the plot of this film is far better than "Match Point". Watching "Match Point", the story is old-fashioned, and you can always infer the plot of the next moment. And "Matador" has a tight rhythm, leaving the audience with a suspense from time to time, a small reminder for people to guess, but until the end of the story, it is impossible to guess what is going on.
A lot of jokes. The joke is the basic element of comedy. The jokes of this movie are mainly manifested in language dialogue. Both Brosnan and Greg's performances were very exciting, just right, but not too hot.
In summary, "Matador" is a high-quality comedy, and it is definitely the first choice for a relaxing moment when serious movies are flooded with screens.
