The whole movie is like the heroine Amanda, with a sense of indifference. The director probably pursues this effect, but it's too plain, and it's easy to scare away impatient audiences.
The main line of the movie is the friendship between the two girls. Amanda, one of the protagonists, looks cold and ruthless, but has some anti-social tendencies. In fact, she is pure and peaceful, and she is a full-fledged Buddhist girl.
The other protagonist, Lily, is well-behaved on the surface, but she has a deep intention. She dares to think and do. She is so used to being doted in the upper-class family that her personality has been distorted.
The biggest drama conflict in the whole film is that the two girls conspired to kill Lily's stepfather. At the beginning, when I read the synopsis, I thought Anya played the same role as in "Split", and encountered the ghost father again. After watching the whole movie, it was discovered that her stepfather was not a heinous person, at best she had a bad temper and lacked patience.
During the whole viewing process, I did not recognize that the stepfather's actor turned out to be the writer Tom the wolfdog from Claire in "House of Cards". The beard's strengthening effect on face blindness is too obvious. There is a section in the middle of this film where he is exercising in the room. Two girls heard loud noises downstairs. Amanda asked Lily what the hell was upstairs. The answer was a sports equipment with a complicated name. "Something similar to a rowing machine." I knew the rowing machine the first time I was watching the first season of "House of Cards". I don't know if this stepfather was under the influence of the president and his wife to fall in love with this healthy lifestyle.
When Anton Eugene's face appeared on the screen, I instantly felt a sense of chaos in time and space. It's almost two years. If you give him a little more time, according to the acting in this movie, he will almost be among the ranks of the old drama bones, although the appearance is still the same fresh and tender.
There are many places in the film that can be set up for laughter. For example, after Lily moved her hands and feet on the bicycle, her stepfather suffered a bruise and swollen nose. It feels like the director has also grasped these points, but it is difficult to reconcile this feeling of joy and the indifferent temperament that runs through the film. The relationship between, did not grasp the rhythm of the funny. There are two situations in which the rhythm is out of control. One is that the audience is embarrassed and sour due to excessive showy, and almost no comedy can avoid this completely; there is also a completely opposite situation, that is, like this film, excessive restraint may bring cold humor. The high-level sense, but if there is no way to make the audience laugh accurately, it will only be cold.
Anton Eugene’s performance melted this cold to a certain extent, and the entire entertainment of the film was basically concentrated in his scenes. Anton’s kind of cute little brother temperament that makes people want to bully is perfectly integrated with the ambitious and talented stupid thief in the film. For the same role, if you find a comedy familiar face who is used to playing a harlequin according to the traditional thinking, the audience may only laugh at his unlucky situation; and if Anton plays the role, the audience will touch after the laugh. The urge to touch his head to comfort him.
Purchasing the homicide segment leads to a common stupid comedy routine. For a while, I expected that the final direction of the movie was a series of misunderstandings caused by Lily and stepfather because of the stupid, which eliminated the gap between father and daughter. Of course, this doesn't match the cold temperament of the movie, so I killed it in the end. The end result is that the two girls each get what they want. Amanda backed Lily without complaining and came to an environment that made herself more relaxed. Her confession in the letter, translated into popular language, is that everyone in the detention center is talented, speaks nicely, and loves to enter here so much, it feels much better than at home.
Throughout the story, Lily's growth is mainly reflected in the victory over the psychological counseling. Don't hesitate, selfishness, evil, whatever character is better than hesitation. Lily listened to Amanda's suggestion, and finally completed the murder plan like cutting vegetables. Thinking about it conversely, those human shortcomings mentioned by Amanda, other than hesitation, may have existed in Lily a long time ago, but the biggest seal of "hesitation" is placed on it, and they have no chance to develop into a great evil.
Lily's good behavior in the first half is also related to her hesitant character. Because of hesitation, I can't accomplish anything, and I can't even go on with my studies. The only thing I can do is to please the adults with the attitude of a good boy, hoping that my obedience can be exchanged for the support of material resources. Spoiling can cause children to be selfish, but selfishness does not always appear to be willful and arrogant. Unlimited dependence and squeezing of others is also a kind of selfishness, and this kind of selfishness is often hidden under the mask of a good baby, so it is more difficult to detect.
Once the trick of pretending to be obedient loses its effect in front of adults, these children find that the only thing they are good at does not bring any benefits, and they will experience the collapse of their values. Some people may grow up and learn to live independently, while others may go to extremes and make behaviors that hurt themselves or others. What caused Lily's murder was that her stepfather wanted to transfer her to another school and threatened not to allow her to go to university. The social news that Lily killed her father and a few years ago middle school students stabbed her grandmother to death without the money to go online in an Internet cafe is essentially the same thing, but the upper-class elders seem to be generous even when they commit murder, while the lower-class teenagers do it. The same crime is extremely low. At the end of the story, Lily, who has gone to college, is sunny and cheerful, and the contrast between the little thief played by Anton Eugene is even greater. However, the former can get the opportunity to continue studying, in fact, it still uses the resources of the family. It is conceivable that in the future, she will use more people to climb to a higher position, and then there will be offspring who inherit her excellent genes and continue to climb up along similar paths on this basis.
The two protagonists of the movie are very "girly", and it is precisely for their appearance that I watched this film which is not highly rated (and therefore gave an extra star). Olivia Cook surprised me a little bit in "Ready Player One", but I haven't seen too many of her movies yet, so I still prefer Anya, which can be seen through the title of this article. Come out.
Although I often start when I write about movies, titles like this that fully expose my fat and greasy nature are rarely used. The reason why I let myself go like this this time is really because I finally figured out the reason why Miss Anja Taylor-Joy's appearance is so attractive to me, and it is hard to hide the excitement.
I am often criticized for lack of aesthetics. I can only feel "cute" but not "beautiful". Of course, I am not comparing myself to the milk tea brother-in-law Liu Qiangdong. In fact, seeing a beautiful young lady, I will feel joy in my heart like an ordinary straight man. As for the beauty, I can’t tell why.
So it’s hard to find someone who can give a reason. It feels like the scumbag who has been at the bottom of ten thousand years suddenly understands the teacher’s question in class. He can’t help but raise his hand actively and earnestly grasp this time to prove himself. chance.
In my opinion, the reason why Anya’s appearance makes me unforgettable is that she is the most cat-like of the actors I know, and she is not in a weird and crass way at all, nor is she in a weird way. This kind of funny way (such as "Squirrel" Wang Xun and "Shiba Inu" Huang Bo), but perfectly reproduces the mysterious, elegant and affectionate temperament of cats. Ancient Chinese literati loved the YY fox fairy the most; as a contemporary cat slave, I naturally yearn for the "miaoxian", and Anya naturally possesses the looks that a cat should have.
Of course, for an idiot like me, if you say that you like a young lady because of her cute appearance, then it is too obvious to pretend to be pure and cute. There is no doubt that Miss Anya's figure is also an important reason why people can't take their eyes off her. Obviously, the whole person feels as light and slender as a cat, but with considerable milk volume. Cats, like foxes, are animals known for their "fascinating", but Miss Anya's aura, facial features and exquisite body make this sexy and charming more intuitive and concrete. If the "Batman" live-action movie is to restart again, and plans to use a younger lineup, then Anya will be the best candidate to play Catwoman. She doesn't need the assistance of serving Huadao, she is already a cat standing there.
But when I say this, I guess the fans of another young lady, Cameron Bikandova, will protest. After all, this "Gotham" kitten has been widely recognized, and it is still quite similar to the classic version. Catwoman Michelle Pfeiffer hit her face.
For a while, I couldn't wait for Anya to appear on the big screen as a catwoman. Instead, she starred in another comic adaptation film "X-Men: The New Mutants" has been finalized. Judging from the style of the trailer, this movie follows the horror film route. It seems that the positioning of the Anya horror film Little Princess cannot be changed for a while. It is precisely because of the different styles of painting that "New Mutants" does not show any signs of linkage with the previous "X-Men", and Professor X and others may not appear. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to see Anya and Yimei collaborate again in the "X-Men" series after "Split".
In order to highlight the "new" character in "New Mutants", almost all the leading actors are born in the 90s. In addition to Anya, there is also Maisie Williams, who is well-known for his "Game of Thrones". By the way, Erya Stark is a young lady who is very close to cats. Not only is his mother nicknamed "Aunt Cat", I also used the stage name "Cat by the Canal" when I was studying in Braavos. Of course, she has a better relationship with wolves. The character name "Lymphomaniac" in "New Mutants" also carries the word "wolf".
