A French director organized a group of British, Australian and Canadian actors, and then told an American story. This is a bit like the meaning of a Korean director organizing Singapore and Taiwanese to tell a mainland story. It is conceivable that the Americans will be in a very awkward position. Since the film premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain on September 28, 2013, it has been shown in more than a dozen countries, and it is not surprising that it has not been shown in the United States.

It doesn't matter if the Americans stayed there. The French for self-entertainment still awarded the film two small awards, both of which are related to photography. One is the Caesar Award and the other is the Lumiere Award. Even the director Jean-Pierre Genet, who has become popular all over the world with "Angels Love Beauty", is unable to win more honors for himself. It can be seen that it is a matter of resistance for parents to pay attention to other people's shortcomings. So far, only 7 media in the world have given scores, and most of them are British media. The average score is only a poor 48. All media in the United States have almost collectively lost their voices.

However, when we come to watch the film as outsiders, throwing away the vulgar prejudice and national recognition, the film can definitely be called a classic. Needless to say, the picture quality with heavy make-up has been recognized by French experts. We only pay attention to the plot, which is also deeply moving from the heart. A 10-year-old genius boy, after learning that he won the Science Prize, despite the difficulties and obstacles of reality, carrying his family on his back, preparing to pack, embarked on an adventure not far away from thousands of miles away. After suffering, he finally stood on the podium. , Facing N many gray-haired scholars Kozhi to explain the research and development theory and inner trauma, this bridge alone is enough to be fascinating and incredible.

It stands to reason that this kind of passionate and inspirational fairy tale belongs to the treatment department, and it should be highly concerned by Americans. I don't know whether the director Jean-Pierre is on purpose or the plot requires it, but he wants to add some controversial topics. The first is legal possession of a gun. When the 10-year-old boy and his brother were playing with a birthday gift gun in the warehouse, they wiped the gun and went off, and his brother was killed on the spot. This caused great psychological harm in the future life of the genius young man. The British female Helena Bonham Carter made a complaint as a mother in the film: “It’s really not suitable to take a gun as a birthday gift, especially when When the adults are not around, play privately."

The director is not limited to this. After a line mocking the American education system, he immediately resorted to media interviews and ruthlessly criticized how unscrupulous and shameless the American media can be for the ratings. Helena took the opportunity of the interview to "nonsense" about the US's carelessness and injustice of the beauty pageant standards, and this passage was quickly "interrupted" in the past. It can be seen that the director Jean-Pierre's accusation against the United States was premeditated, and it was by no means accidental. Interested audiences can also savor more similar sections. I believe there will be more "Easter Eggs" to dig.

This point is very clear to the British. The evaluation of CineVue, a well-known British film website with the highest score of 80, is: "TS Spivet is a dreamlike fairytale, which swims in the romanticism of childhood and the decay of the American Dream." In short, the director told a story about the decline of the American Dream in a fairy tale. The only American media, "The Hollywood Reporter", pretended to evaluate the 3D effect and did not make any more evaluations, but the 70 points it scored was a bit of an expression of its position. For those of us onlookers, it is enough to appreciate this film as a beautiful adventure and healing emotional blockbuster. As for the undercurrents in it, that is just the focus of politicians' attention.
