However, in 2008, the suspension of an American TV show hit the front page of China Entertainment News, which is really rare. I couldn't help but pay attention to "Boston Legal". Really determined to postpone the first season, it is still a year later, because since the TV series encouraged domestic production, there are too few and monotonous things to watch. Even playing a game, because the gods are fighting, can't play refreshingly.
After watching the first season, I felt that I was pretty sparkly about the American TV series. I started dragging down the remaining four seasons, dug up the graves, and dug up the eighth season of "The Practice" and all the James Spader movies that I could find, including The famous "Sex, Lies and Videotape". To be honest, I was amazed at the last film. Fortunately, I watched "Boston Legal" first. Otherwise, what kind of mood should I face the cruelty of time?
I won’t say much about the two legal dramas, only digressions. In 2004, the once-popular "The Practice" has reached its eighth season. The ratings have dropped. Investors have cut two-thirds of their budgets, and it is clear that this is the final season. The producer and screenwriter Kelly was unwilling to write his own book again, fired off all the big-name actors, and then invited James Spader. To be honest, this was a gamble. At that time, James Spader just finished "Secretary" (this film Later). However, it is estimated that Kelly herself did not expect that this season's ratings have risen by 20%, and Spader also won an Emmy for this drama that surprised everyone. Kelly got the investment as she wished to start filming the sister drama "Boston Legal", and James Spader won another Emmy in the first season. In the second season, I guess the judges really endured and endured them and didn't vote for Spader. After a year, they finally couldn't hold back and gave him the third Emmy Award.
Speaking of which, I still prefer "the Practice", although it is more dignified, but it gives JS more space to fully perform its acting skills. Sharon Stone also made three guest appearances in it. The acting is as good as in "Instinct", sexy, intellectual and dangerous. Looks like he won a guest award. To be honest, when she left the episode and said goodbye, she felt that she had gone beyond the role and was directly teasing JS. Could she be electrocuted by JS too? (Khan) After
watching the TV series, I look back at JS movies. Hey, I'm still a niche again. This guy's appearance is so classically beautiful, like a shepherd boy who was grabbed by Zeus to serve wine, and his acting skills can only be described as genius in a vulgar way. This person should be a member of Hollywood's 20 million club. However, he said that he is a standard otaku, the kind of otaku who goes to the streets to buy vegetables and go home to cook with his children and go shopping with his wife. As for acting, most of the time it is just a hobby of earning a family. In order to be worthy of my own talents, I occasionally accept two extreme low-cost independent movies to enjoy the joy of acting, regardless of other people's feelings.
So, "Endless Love", I swear this film was released on the TV station of our heaven. What impressed me most was the mother sitting on the stairs and watching her child ML for the first time by the fireplace. God, they actually let go of such a movie? It is said that there is JS in the movie, but I don't remember it, so it doesn't matter if you don't watch it.
"True Colors", forget about the political, legal and justice axioms, it is simply "Happy Together" wrapped in this coat, the blessing of nymphomaniacs.
"White Palace" To be honest, the director used JS as a vase, but this vase is so beautiful, so good that no matter how hard the director, screenwriter and heroine work hard, they can’t make the two of them look good. It’s about Unpleasant imagination of flowers and cow dung, and JS is that flower. Please director, if you don’t know how to make sex scenes, just walk around, or cross over to ask Mr. Li Ang for advice, otherwise it’s really ruining the sexy of JS.
"Dream Lover" Well, JS continues to be beautiful, it makes people wonder whether the heroine is full of food and holding on to such a blessing. She must frame JS into a lunatic asylum. This kind of plot should choose Hopkins. It's more convincing to play the male lead like that.
"Shadow Fear" I think JS must have run out of money to pick up this bad movie.
"Watcher" is hard to imagine that this is Keanu Reeves's film after the filming of The Matrix. What does this guy think? Fortunately there is JS, this film is somewhat moving. But, well, I understand why JS is not a member of the 20 million club. As long as the club members, after winning awards with Mensao movies, they must make a few action movies and hang themselves on cliffs, aircraft landing gears, or building balconies. . . . . . Wait for a place to show the strength of the lower and upper limbs, and the vertical leap to show the flexibility of the lower body. But the cat-like sluggish and graceful figure that JS has practiced in yoga is really not suitable for these things. Besides, he is very short-sighted. Asking him to fly in the scene without glasses is simply irresponsible for the personal safety of others.
"Crash", I still have to declare that this is not the one that won the Oscar. It's another much niche one. I think I understand very well what this movie is about. The extreme physical pleasure of being on the verge of death in extreme situations is so pure that it can completely ignore all the rules of the world. The special prize in Cannes is awarded to the extreme shock of this kind of atomic bomb. Seeing 1/3 of the place, I understand that the next 2/3 will probably be repeating this scene by scene, but I'm sorry, 1/3 is enough for me.
"Wolf" JS himself likes this movie, he probably enjoys the feeling of challenging people and transforming wolves, but I can't stand his hairy face and I didn't finish watching it.
After watching "Secretary" for the first time, I think this film is too weird. However, some places are very attractive, and I can't help but look back and see it a second time. After watching it two or three times, OK, although we can't accept weird, but, as JS himself said, this is actually a very traditional and beautiful romance film, but love is told in another language. If you can look at it happily and tolerantly, it's really a wonderful film.
Finally, "Sex, Lies and Videotape". I have heard of this film a long time ago, because of this topic, and a little plot introduction that I know sporadically, it is directly classified into the kind of secret room BT film I don't like. As a result, it takes so many years to miss it. Fortunately, I saw it in the end. I didn't expect that this theme would be performed in such a peaceful, peaceful and bright town. The other actors performed well, but they were basically lost in the brilliance of JS. Ann ran to find Graham to shoot the video and watched it many times. Andie only speaks his lines fluently and slowly, but JS's expressions, movements, and his words in broken and fragmented sentences, hey, I'm too stupid to describe it well, go see this for yourself Film it. Some people don't like to say that this film, which is cold in nature, has a warm ending, but I like it. It is said that this ending is performed by the actor himself, and it is indeed better than the ending of the mother-in-law in the original script.
Ann: it's going to rain.
Graham: it is raining.
Ann: Yeah
no matter what it is, what is coming, what is coming, isn't our life expecting and enjoying the moment we wish to achieve?
So, the same for James Spader.
