Some commented that what the film wanted to express was not well expressed, and it ended up in a mess. Some people think it reflects the darkness of the entertainment industry. In fact, it doesn’t really matter what it expresses. Many popcorn films have also won very good box office, but this film has a terrible box office.
I think the biggest feeling for many people watching this film is that it is weird and weird. Because it involves children’s programs, the entire film is often very bright and bright (as a fan of film noir, the dazzling red and green makes me a little uncomfortable), and it combines the characteristics of gangster films and even film noir—— There is a section in the film where a male producer of a children's show is intimidated by a male gang leader. The heavy shadows cast by the blinds in the scene are very typical film noir styles. There are a lot of similar dark and dark scenes in the film. Does this conversion and combination really make the audience feel confused?
Secondly, the film has a strong exaggerated and funny style, which is normal, because it involves children's programs, and also invited Robin Williams to star. There are comments that all the actors' performances are too exaggerated, except for the female lead. In fact, many of the comedy movies starring Robin are still exaggerated, but there is no criticism, because the performances in those movies are compatible with the theme of the whole film. And this film is the problem, involving gangsters; of course, there are also comedies involving gangsters, but they are generally cold and humorous, rather than the strong contrast between the young cartoon style of this film and the style of gangster movies. Besides, most of the gangster content in the film is more violent and bloody, and even the more cartoonish parts are a bit too violent. For example, Rainbow was thrown onto the wall and then the section where his face fell against the brick wall, even though he knew that the wall should be. It's specially made and won't hurt people, but it's still very uncomfortable to watch in such a comedy movie. Norton is actually suitable for acting in this movie. If he is not known for his acting skills, his appearance is probably the most suitable for acting a silly little white face. He is destined to be cannon fodder in the movie, so he is cute in this film, at least I see it. There is no obstacle. The problem is the mixed style of the film itself. For a while, it has to be exaggerated to create funny effects and innocent performance (this should be required by the director), and then it is necessary to express love, forgiveness and other feelings more normally. This will make the actors and the audience a little confused. Bar.
In the end, the costumes of this film appear to be Norton really tall. I like the look of his blanket, haha.
