Justice for Keanu Reeves

Stevie 2022-01-15 08:01:51

Not all actors can laugh at themselves. Brad Pitt can play "Burn After Reading", and Robert Downey Jr. can play "Tropical Thunder". I am not afraid of embarrassment. Although he is rude and messy, he does not hide his national color. Keanu Reeves couldn't be so chic, he had to hold him all the time, so that people could look at him with dignity. Just like in the Chinese, Chow Yun-fat and Leung Ka-fai are both chuang and humorous, but Andy Lau is not because he is handsome and has been operating for decades. It is not easy to get one meal and one meal, so he cherishes feathers. To be fair, Keanu Reevesken’s sacrifice is not easy and his spirit is commendable.

As an absurd play, what is the most failure? It is to let people scold: "It's too unreal!" When we watch movies such as "Shameless Bastard" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", do we complain about the nonsense of the plot? Of course not. Just like when we watch martial arts movies, we will naturally forget the common sense of physics. However, the movie "The Crimes of Henry" is too young, and it is implied, but it is not obvious at all. The language and rhythm are implicit, and the audience needs a process to make judgments, which is like flirting. If you just kiss her, she can’t tell if you have a need, because it’s not a clear sexual suggestion, but if you kiss her while touching her thigh, this girl will understand her eight times. "Return to follow it", then she was quite sure. In any case, the intention must always be known. The same is true of absurdity. Taking "Red Whisk in the Night" as an example, Wang Xiaobo wrote:

"Luoyang City is made of soil." [At first glance, this sentence seems quite popular. ]

"Earth is far shipped purest loess, after put Long Ti steamed soft, mixed with the feces defecate on child (these children do not eat anything except bean flour, in addition to Eshi do not do anything, so Can produce the purest shit), put it into a template and build a city wall." [You’re suspicious at a glance, but you can’t tell. After all, you dare not speculate about our hardworking and intelligent working people. But immediately you will realize that this man is talking nonsense, and starts to focus on his rhetoric. 】

"After a hundred years, the city will turn into a pea-green color, which can survive thousands of years without falling. After a thousand years, the city wall will be bronze, which can last for thousands of years without falling. After 10,000 years, The city will become black and never fall." [At this time you have already begun to enjoy the fun of absurdity. ]

"This is the effect of old shit." [The effect is full. 】

How wonderful! Can be used as a model, follow up layer by layer, like a spring breeze, very considerate to the audience. It is not difficult to see that the body of the absurd is now on the illogical plot and irregular language, and this movie is too straightforward and specific in the plot. All arbitrary and accidental are what the audience is accustomed to watching. His rational thinking hadn't been mobilized yet, and his feelings began to be lyrical there again, and he walked inadvertently, without the sense of abruptness caused by absurdity. In terms of rhetoric, he emphasizes on telling some timeless little jokes. If it is expressed in the form of literature, the effect should be good, but if it is expressed in the form of drama, it seems to be an understatement.

This is a mistake of the screenwriter.

To say "The Crimes of Henry" is actually more stylish than Ben Affleck's "The Thief in the City" and more sincere than Johnny Depp's "Fatal Companion". You can't say that Keanu Reeves is not working right. In the past, the Xiaosheng reversed the Xiaohualian. They all followed the path of Johnny Depp. They were too hot, like him, and I saw it for the first time, of course they were not used to it. It is not difficult to find out by comparison that Keanu Reeves still has a breakthrough. It is unfair to blindly scold him for "no play on his face". When Marcos was released from prison, Keanu Reeves played the role. Very hierarchical. Actors have their own limitations. Ben Affleck is suitable for the salary, Matt Damon is suitable for the genius, Brad Pitt is suitable for the rebel, and Keanu Reeves is the monster. The play is the most neat, as long as it involves religious themes, he can always be added to his role. I only knew that he could act as an exorcist. Who knew that he had even acted Sakyamuni. It is estimated that his original intention for taking this movie was to try if he could portray a shy and absurd comedy character, but it is a pity that the beautiful boy is late and no one supports him.

I sometimes reflect on myself, do I have a double standard when I watch a movie, and I find that it is true, especially when I can’t bear to watch a celebrity, the role is to be praised after all. Nicholas Cage has fallen for ten years, is he still praised as always? There are also outdated stars like Tom Cruise and John Travolta, sometimes glimpsed from a bad movie, and I can't bear to see it. I remembered chatting with my mother when I was eating, they were all in Noshimura dialect. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with my call of Dezong as "toad", but once I looked down on Taizu, the old lady would immediately. Pulling down his face, he scolded me fiercely. Maybe the old lady's generation sees Taizu just like our generation sees Bruce Willis. After all, he grew up watching him since he was a child, and he has feelings.
