The film’s narrative method is not conventional, it can be roughly divided into two paragraphs. The first paragraph is a circumspect account of the acquaintance between the heroine Linda and her first husband Chuck, and under the leadership of the latter, he took the world-famous "Deep Throat". Red (literally, "one shot" and red). The second paragraph originated from Linda's polygraph test for the publication of the new book, and therefore touched on the memories of the year, and then re-examined the first paragraph through interspersed narratives, but this time it showed the other side behind the brilliance. The first paragraph of the story can be called the "surface" side, and the second paragraph is the "inside" side.
In the "Biao" story, Linda is completely a very silly and innocent sweetheart. The whole process is relaxed and happy. The fame is won, and everyone is happy. The "li" story completely broke the image of the protagonist established in the front. The back of Linda’s name is actually full of bitterness. She has been living in the torture of her scumbed husband Chuck. In fact, she is a poor man full of helplessness and sadness. , Which is completely opposite to the image in the "Biao" story.
This kind of narrative technique can increase the "chewing" of the story by echoing and comparing the two paragraphs before and after. There is nothing wrong with it, but its side effect is that the image of the heroine is blurred. The audience couldn't tell what the heroine was, so they felt that the character couldn't reflect the "power", and finally felt that the whole story was as weak and weak as the inflatable doll shot in the forehead.
In fact, the ambiguity of the heroine's character has a lot to do with her prototype in reality. The real Linda Lovelace is someone who goes with the crowd, is at the mercy of others, and doesn't know what she wants. Although such a character's experience is quite legendary, it makes people unable to feel her power. The heroine in the film mustered up the courage to overcome the biggest obstacle in life-escape from the demon husband-the filming is also very scribble, so that the emotions accumulated by the audience cannot be released well.
Except for the heroine's character setting, the second part of the "li" story itself is cluttered. The repeated "pulling" editing method makes this period of timeline sparse, and when the plot progresses to a certain point, there will always be something unclear at another point in time, and many of them are useful for the audience to understand the plot. Seems to have the opposite effect. For example, James Franco's scene, I don't understand why it is cut so much, and then stuffed into the story a little easterly, do you want this soy sauce man's scene to appear more?
Okay, finally it's time to get to the point. Although the character of the heroine of the film is not attractive, the image of the supporting actors is quite clear (or maybe there are not many scenes so there is no chance to expose the shortcomings). Although James Franco has not many roles, his role as Hugh Hefner adds a touch of color to the film. Hugh Hefner is the founder of "Playboy." This person is now over eighty years old and still enjoys the love of men and women. It is precisely because he has read countless women that he has a higher threshold and attainments in women, unlike ordinary wretched men who are always hungry and thirsty. The image of this person is a bit like Ouyang Ke in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Although he is extremely lustful, he can always maintain his demeanor.
Fu Lanlan well demonstrated Hefner's prince-like noble temperament, which is "lewd but not lewd." When Linda was with him, it was like a snowflake held in her hand and cared for. It felt like the least stressful moment in the whole play was the night when she was sitting next to Hefner.
Originally, I felt good about this movie. I was able to make so many words all at once. It was entirely because I was overjoyed to see Fu Lanlan on stage, which stimulated my strong desire for expression. It doesn't matter if he comes to make soy sauce, after all, he makes soy sauce everywhere. The point is that I haven't seen his prince Faner for a long time.
Similar to the story of this film, Franco's performance is also divided into two levels. Acting with his eyes open and acting with his eyes closed are two realms, just like Shaka in "Saint Seiya". Fu Lanlan, who is acting with closed eyes, is a diaosi fan, and when he opens his eyes, he will transform into a prince. Time is the realm of "li"). Although Franco has been very active on the big screen in recent years, most of them appear in the form of guilty of two tricks or the lower limit of the show and ruining the three views. Although the brain fans like me are also very useful, they will inevitably be used for a long time. Miss Pian Pian in the period of "Spider-Man" and "Tristan and Isolde".
There are two characters that impressed me the most in the whole film. Apart from Hugh Hefner played by Fu Lanlan, it is the father of the heroine played by Robert Patrick. At first, I thought that the heroine's parents were all soy sauce characters who passed by, but I didn't expect them to leave the country repeatedly in the second story. The phone call between the father and daughter was the biggest tear in the film. The old man's inconspicuous changes in expression and tone ups and downs conveyed a father's infinite love for his daughter. At the end of the film, the heroine takes her husband and son back to her parents' home. The three generations live together, and the family is happy. Although the character prototype was still ill-fated after that, the film freeze here gave her a rather bright happy ending.
Finally, one star was deducted because James Franco played the role, and the task of suck someone's dick actually fell on someone else's mouth.
