First of all, I was surprised actually many small scenes Qiu, accounting for a significant part, if I'm with actor Sean Penn is not the case, his The name may not be in the first place. This is before I imagine his big difference in a lot of bit-part player, even if the trailer or read the stills I can not imagine actually be able to have so much play points ......
some people curse might be a good film, but if everyone If it’s not good, then it must have failed. So after reading the disastrous comments about this film, I looked at it with a more pessimistic attitude and found that it was not so bad (of course, I worked so hard. I haven't seen it as good yet, it's really a failure.) For
a film with such a theme, I don't even bother to glance at it for another person. The script is too bad, I wonder if the director wanted to reflect his Oscar-level screenwriting skills when he changed the original version and desperately aggravated the drama conflict, from Sean Penn’s opening montage speech fragment to the final ADAM’s death, even including ANNA In front of JACK, he undressed but JACK was unmoved. They seemed to desperately want to prove that he could take another way to shoot something out of stylized... But
it still failed.
If Sean Penn's acting level has already scored 100 points, then his performance in this film is 100+1. It's not better than 100, but it can be almost equal to zero. This is too much truth. From the beginning to the end, I didn't see him as a politician at all, just howling hysterically, desperately inciting the emotions of the masses, and then overusing the resources around him... This is the content of the first hour of the film.
After entering the second hour, I suddenly began to confess that JACK, who was clearly defined as a bystander in the opening chapter, came. Speaking of his family, his friendship, his love. It's a pity that it didn't show up, just didn't stop using the flashback lens to explain it. I've heard a saying that directors who don't know how to tell a story usually use two tricks: flashback and narration. This piece is all taken up. His foster father did not see the emotional interaction with him, he did not see the emotional interaction with Anna, so when he saw his foster father commit suicide, his emotional account was horribly weak, or ANNA later became inexplicable. When I slapped him, I felt a little cloud and mist...
If you just confess Willy, then the film is shorter, and his colorful description is fuller, this film will not be like this; if it is really about the life of the former reporter JACK, then it can be from another angle (maybe It is more in line with ATKM's movie name) to resolve. And not so unbalanced end to end.
Go on back to the actor's performance. Sean Penn trusts his acting skills too much. Maybe he thinks he can walk freely on the edge of the cliff without worrying about the lack of time or the degree of overpass. But from beginning to end, except for his maddening speeches, he is constantly Distorted expressions and disgusting high-octave accents. Obviously his attempt failed this time. This is not all the fault of the director and the script.
Kate Winslet still didn't think she was beautiful, and there was nowhere to play. When I wanted her to shine...that was when she took the key to open the door, and then looked back at the silhouette of JACK across the street, that look was not in place. If she is really an acting school, then I think she is not in the state in this drama.
Anthony Hopkins is the luxurious supporting role of this play, and the performance is completely out of state. In the scene where he talks with JACK between father and son, his speech speed is twice as fast as usual. It feels like he is rushing home ||| However, with Sean Penn's opponent, his closing was in contrast with SP's release-the conclusion is that I really don't appreciate the uninhibited faction.
I like the role of Mark Ruffalo very much. The friendship in my youth, when I walked home together, I was a little surprised when I saw my sister holding hands with my best friend, and then smiled and nodded. The shots of pressing the keys with one hand on the piano have appeared many times, a bit lonely and a bit at a loss. It's a pity that my favorite character ended up being the funeral of SP, so I'm not reconciled...
Finally, say jude. Because of the many scenes, objectively speaking, his state is not stable. It feels a bit like a player who missed three or four great opportunities in a game but still scored and won the game. He doesn't know how to score. First of all, the director does not know how to arrange the appearance of the role, so every time it is the turn of JUDE, he always leaned against the car, leaned against the wall, leaned against the railing, and placed a man, without exception, from far away. Get close, and then really start performing. I think this limits his performance (I think the director is aware of the existence of HC like me and deliberately arranged this because the freeze frame when his shot appears is really beautiful ||||). In addition, since his role began to be positioned as a bystander, he had to intersperse several shots of him every time Sean Penn’s speech (this is also the reason why I endured SP’s speech, and I really don’t want to miss his shots), I think Ouyi is pretty good, but if it's like this throughout, it would be too lacking in new ideas. He may have been influenced by SP in his rivalry with SP, and his tone of voice and expression range unconsciously are somewhat staged, which I don't like very much. But he is very good in other scenes, especially the interactive part with ANNA and ADAM, I like it very much. It's a pity that the script is too rubbish, so that the conflicting points of the drama that are very brilliant are not reflected at all, and it is depressed.
Finally, this film has SGs like JUDE, and beauties like KW... There is no kiss scene! ! ! !
This is almost a film that no one has watched before, and it is even less popular... Of course, I am an exception for such a loyal JUDE fan...
