Then there is Shia LaBeouf, representing human beings in the "Transformers" series, and while the King Kong is in progress, they have also shot such good films as "Rear Window" and "Eagle Eye", and they have also relayed. New series such as "Indiana Jones 4" and "Wall Street 2" are expected to follow the new series once again. It seems that Shia LaBeouf did not receive the curse of the curse, but unexpectedly, he was in constant trouble outside the venue, plagiarism scandal, drunken trouble, drunk driving, being hit by people, injured in two people and vehicles, and expelled from the Broadway Theater. , And often rants. In 2013, he also starred in the two movies "Charlie Must Die" and "Female Addict", which was selected into the 2013 "Bad Stars List". Perhaps these constant scandals made him feel disappointed, so on January 11, 2014, Shia LaBeouf announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry through his Twitter. For the 27-year-old star who has a difficult star, temporarily retiring may be a wise self-protection, but it may also become a real "suicide".
Back to "Charlie Must Die", it is actually a very simple story. The film is also the original work of director Frederick Bond, a talented advertising director. In his debut work, he habitually adopted a lot of advertising shooting methods, which gave a slightly horrifying conflict drama a prose poetic feeling, like when two people are sitting opposite each other and running alone. At times, there are also elements of twilight, city, etc., there will always be an overly literary atmosphere, which makes this film have a different feeling. On the one hand, there are things that are very suitable for petty bourgeoisie, on the other hand, it will make non-petty bourgeoisie feel bored and dull. Perhaps, a purely literary film with some overly literary shots is acceptable to everyone, and in a film with life and death conflicts and gangs rampant, those sudden literary shots will indeed make people attend. Therefore, for this film, there are bound to be two extremes, or some petty bourgeoisie will like it very much, (not all petty bourgeoisie, compare its story to non-petty bourgeoisie), on the other hand, it will make people think that this is just a story Junk piece.
In other words, it’s not bad that advertising directors make films and use their own tactics when making commercials. For example, Wu Ershan naturally used his advertising methods in "Sword Laughter", and the result was good, and he Putting this style further into "Painted Skin 2", it ushered in great success.
I'll interpret it from the perspective of appreciation, after all, there are some fun things in the film. Generally speaking, it is about something credible and unbelievable. "Shia LaBeouf" said that he had a strange hunch when he was still very young, and then he tended to believe and follow. Going with a hunch, the final result was pretty good. And this time, his mother passed away, and he felt her mother say to himself, go to Bucharest. Then he followed his mother's voice and went to Bucharest where he knew nothing. Then on the plane, chatting with the Romanian next door, the Romanian died suddenly. "Sia Labov" once again felt that the Romanian wanted him to give a gift to his daughter. So, following the sixth sense all the way, "Shia LaBeouf" went to Bucharest, went looking for the Romanian daughter, and then fell in love with this woman hopelessly. But this woman is the lover of the local gang boss, so "Shia LaBeouf" began the process of seeking death on her own. Moreover, the opponent he met was "Hannibal" Mads Mickelson, an elegant and fierce guy. In a struggle between the weak and the strong, if Charlie "Shia LaBeouf" really died, the result would be better and there would be some aftertaste. But in the end, there was a big reversal, and the result was still beautiful. This kind of bloody plot made the film completely clichéd and not worth watching.
So, this is a vulgar film with some wonderful fragments, and the appraisal has been completed.
