"star map"

Reading "Star Map" is more certain that 2014 is Julianne Moore's new year. First of all, this film personally feels that it is a very deep excavation of Hollywood after Robert Altman's "Behind the Scenes", combining the two Watching the film together is even more sensational. David Cronenberg is now giving up his obsession with violence and metaphor. Like the previous work "Metropolis", it is more of a fatalistic philosophical expression.

Let’s talk about the performance of Moore in this film. Although Cannes gave the queen awards in advance, I still have to say that this is the most powerful female character in the 2014 movie. I can’t think of anyone other than her in the United States. Being able to perform this role controlled by drugs, delusions, obsessiveness, paranoia, and contradictions, is why the director still finds her to play the role eight years after planning this film. This role really takes advantage of the uncertainty that Moore is best at. She is slightly exaggerated but fits the movie itself, showing her neurotic expression in natural situations, unrestricted limbs, even the freckles on her arms are integrated into the role. a part of.

This performance proved that she is not an actor of any kind of performance theory genre. She belongs to this role and seems to be immersed in it, but it seems that she is always thinking outside of the matter. This is a state of proficiency, and only talented performers can burst out when they meet a suitable role. This role can be said to be a collection of all the Oscar nominated roles, which does not include "Pan Ya in 42". "Jiekou" and other such early roles.

Of course, this film and its role are completely impossible to be valued by the Oscars, but this definitely increased Aunt Moore’s competitiveness at the 87th Oscars, plus the previous nominations for films such as "The Kids Are Very Good", "Single Man" and even "Magnolia". The defeated Ji De, this year almost everyone is optimistic about her is not without reason. To be honest, "Still Alice" is just a normal performance of her work. In this respect, it is the same as Meryl Streep. Even if ordinary movie fans have excessively high standards, they can't say anything bad in the end, at most. Repetitive performances, but there are only a handful of others who can achieve this level.

In addition, Olivia Williams and Mia Wasikowska in this film also contributed excellent performances.

    On the probability and possibility of incest gene causing mental defects in the capitalist celebrity star-making system. Infanticide and dog ghost self-immolation, Cronenberg continued to tell a horrible daily story in the silent film language, which was freely retractable.

    One of the directors is neurotic but pretends to be a normal person, and one of the directors is a normal person but wants to hide his paleness by thinking that he is neurotic. Cronenberg was once at the fork of the two roads, and then resolutely chose the second road. From this perspective, he and Parkinson are indeed partners. try toooooo hard. Aunt Moore’s acting skills are set off by this boring book
