Another soul under Scissors... and some gossip

If someone tells me one day in the future that "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms" is another movie destroyed in the hands of the production company's scissors, I would never be surprised-there are definitely many precedents for this. The tragedies of Kings of Heaven and The Watcher are still vivid. If this is not the case, it will be blamed on the script, and not so much as the script, it is better to call it a shattered but barely recognizable corpse after the script was dismembered. This movie is full of potential secondary characters. If it is an hour longer, they will definitely not be like the film. The value of existence is nothing more than serving as a background board or occasionally being naive to gag. A joke to reinforce the audience's deep-rooted impression of the film "suitable for preschoolers." In the same way, every bridge segment is extremely hasty, and the editing is chaotic. Except for the ballet, the audience can't even see any complete visual spectacle. The design of the whole kingdom is reduced to heartbreaking in a fancy glimpse. In vain, "We did it, but we just won't show it to you." This attitude polluted the whole movie. In many episodes, the emotional tension was just revealed, it was abruptly suppressed. This is definitely a kind of blasphemy, like drawing an oil painting, but the theme is set as an ulcer on the red lips of a beauty.

What makes me play four and a half stars is purely the female lead's acting and beauty. Yan does not say much, and I understand it after reading it-it is commendable that she can not let go when playing against KK and Meiyun, and at the same time perfectly embodies Carat. La’s multiple qualities (the protagonist’s mood changes are indeed a little abrupt, but how can the script’s fault be attributed to the actor?) Before the movie was released, I could imagine that the social network of Mai’s performance would be full of negative comments: nothing compares It's safer to blindly attack young, beautiful and unfamiliar actors, and can better reflect their cunning taste. However, I was kind enough to remind me that even in the most demanding foreign media critics who rated the movie below 30%, many of them still gave a considerable degree of affirmation when they mentioned the protagonist’s performance, and even simply praised her. Propped up the whole movie. Of course, these social network film critics may think that Top Critic's understanding of performing arts on Rotten Tomatoes is still half that of their own. After all, the most indispensable in the world are people who are overconfident in their aesthetic ability, right? ? It's a pity that the little girl you criticized today is likely to become the representative of both beauty and business ability among Hollywood actresses born in the 00s, and you can only vent year after year in the dark and awkwardness that cannot be placed in the real world. By the way, he also exposed his own true color.
