What are you looking forward to? Facing a movie with Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Matthias Schoenaerts, Dakota Johnson, and other casts. A film shortlisted for the main competition in Venice, it is inevitable that it will always look like a champion. It is just right for two old dramas, a Mesozoic, plus a new-generation actress, or at least a bit of trying to participate in the competition. Well, no matter how bad it is, it doesn't matter what it is.
However, Luca Guidanino’s A Bigger Splash, a bigger splash, is just a splash. It's quite satisfactory, there are no bright spots, and there are no major shortcomings. Therefore, it is inevitable that people who are very hopeful about it will be disappointed. This is also expected.
If this movie puts aside the huge expectations and says it is bad, it is not much worse. The only problem may be the imbalance of the entire relationship between the characters in the script. As far as the poster setting and trailer are concerned, this film was originally based around four protagonists, but watching the entire film, it’s hard not to notice Harry, Tilda’s ex-boyfriend, played by Ralph Fiennes. He is the leading actor in the movie. Tilda’s husband Paul, played by Matthias Schoner, is just like his famous roles before, including Marion’s embroidery and bone or the male bodyguard of the Maryland Manor. The main bodyguard". The silent bodyguard temperament on him is difficult to explain to the audience why Tilda chose Paul instead of Harry. Even if Ralph Fiennes has a big beard and performs crazy and crazy, even in the plot of a movie, when he is playing his own music and dancing in a small villa, you will feel, "This man is sexy because He thinks he owns the world". As for Paul played by Schnell, like all his previous roles, he knows that he does not own the world, but he guards the world silently, and a quiet bodyguard works his duty.
A story between a defender and an aggressor, but it also happens to be a story about a middle-aged crisis.
Marianne, the rock star played by Tilda, chose to go to his mother's manor in Italy for vacation because of his loss of voice.
(Uh, I don’t know how the director thinks about the character setting.) So, in this movie, you can’t see the lines between Tilda and Fiennes, but it’s not bad, you can still see deeper characters. relation. A woman who tolerates decently, and another old boy who is constantly struggling. The story between a woman and a man, if there is no difference in the psychological age, the love between two mature and stable people, the script can only be as quiet as water.
Drama, the contradiction of love drama, to write it must be written on the "work". It took two hours to enter the theater. Money is not a problem. There must be a play, and the hero and the hero must have a "work".
It's a pity that everyone didn't do it. The three characters were all set to be a play that didn't speak much, and almost all the dialogue fell on Fiennes. Except for the scene before his death, he was almost alone in the whole movie. In the scene after his death, the focus finally returned to the three protagonists. It is inevitable that people feel that the style of the whole scene has changed suddenly. After all, suspense is not the point of this play. Even if Luca Guidanino used a murder scene in a swimming pool, this scene was still deliberate, almost imitating the classic shot of Hitchcock north-northwest, but, unfortunately, he played a suspenseful tone. Not as stable and orderly as Ou Ronglai, leading the audience into the game; the ability to tell stories is far from Almodovar. Even if it is to imitate Hitchcock with heart, only the last scene in the Buddha film is shown: the affectionate confession of the Italian police chief and Marianne in the rain.
He is just a fan, he is just a fan.
Speaking of which, Dakota Johnson plays Pen. Dakota, who is already 26 years old, plays a 22-year-old girl in the movie, who is actually a 17-year-old high school student. The makeup in several dramas in the film is a bit like Lolita, but with Harry's father-daughter affection is like Cecil in "You Are So Sad". She is the only character in the film who doesn't know what she wants. Obviously Dakota is acting. Before the two major dramas, she doesn't know what she is acting in confusion. However, fortunately, the self-righteous temperament of a girl still persists in the film.
biggest highlight of this film is the contribution. It is rare to have a film that allows the audience to see the director's embarrassment so clearly. The small climax of the final story prevents the hero from dying, and the movie becomes a pure middle-aged emotional farce; if the hero dies, the movie quickly becomes a hurriedly ending movie. A Bigger Splash, like countless waves in the summer, splashed with coolness, but nothing left of literary commercial film. However, literary commercial films can be made into such a second-rate level, in fact, it is not too wasteful of this group of beautiful casts.
The name of the film is very correct.
