I have always felt that American movies are too heavy on the plot, the actors are too direct, the directors lack the artistic cells to leave the film blank, the screenwriters write the story too logically to the point of lifelessness, and the image level is even more superficial and terrifying, as if never Know what is the meaning of white space with endless aftertaste. Until I saw this work, I found that it changed my impression of most American movies. There is no doubt that it has obvious plot flaws and character flaws (this kind of trade-off and design makes the story look better and the logic is weaker, and the audience who loves it is even willing to close their eyes that they can find flaws and discord logic), But it balances the image, the plot, the performance, the rhythm, the romanticism and the endless aftertaste of the film. It is the most special one of the American movies I have watched so far. The image has 80 points of image level, in fact, it has just reached the master standard. Because the film images follow the plot and serve the plot, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is too deep knowledge at the image level, but the director's image style is basically established. Perhaps it was influenced by the traditional narrative structure of American movies, or it paid too much attention to the expression of the plot and the characters. The image became the foil of the plot and the characters. This is the director’s choice. Of course, this is not bad. On the contrary, it still makes the image. Played a charming charm. The script is 90 points, how charming the story is, how charming the script is, but this kind of fascination is at the level of the image, the director and the performance, and it is not very prominent in the level of the script. The script is not perfect, or even full of flaws. There are thousands of unreasonable stories, but even so, it still can't stop the script from serving the work, and the film makes reasonable and logical plot choices. There are gains and losses. The gain lies in retaining the complete romantic atmosphere of the movie, omitting irrelevant, or strengthening the main story line; the loss lies in the logic of traditional story expression, and the partial plot is abrupt and unreasonable. Performance The 90-point boy has not yet fully entered the role state at the beginning, but the actress who played Glory has clearly identified his role positioning, strong personality, precise acting intuition, and American actress from the beginning. Rare performances are left blank, without overexpression, everything is just right. Here, I don’t like to analyze the hierarchical performance of this great actress. On the contrary, this kind of performance is more chaotically at the edge of a level and no level, similar to Hupel’s performance. It is rich and full of interpretation, and it is not a single expression of a certain emotion, but makes the character a complete mixture of emotions. I think this is the key to making a character complex, deep, charming and unique. Not only that, but in the process of dealing with the ever-changing relationship between her character and the little boy, as well as the rivalry, Glory has found a precise position and balanced the relationship between the two. There is still a certain gap between directors’ 90 points and art film directors, but this gap can be eased by the director’s more humane film control. The director's advantage lies in his imagination at the level of detail, which has created too many scenes for Glory and the little boy to collide with the story sparks and white space, and capture them well. 90 points for innovation. There is no doubt that if vulgar novels are a bit too romantic, Chongqing Forest is a bit too literate, the freedom and romance of Godard’s films are still restricted to an artistic expression. Abbas attaches great importance to the deep exploration and exploration of human nature. Caring and use the onlooker power of documentary perspective to put a certain label on the film. So this work, just like the precise interpretation of actors mixed with various emotions, this movie has the above multiple elements and is well balanced. Content factor 0.9, score 80 points
