If you watch it with all your heart, you will have hit "American Hoax" (no spoilers)

American Bullshit, the alternative title of this film, can now be used as a one-sentence film review.


The beginning of the article does leave people with a lot of room for expectation, but the problems that followed too loose clues and the shift in the center of gravity to take care of the actors eventually began to collapse Hashimoto, and eventually became Thorough bullshit! Unbelievable little characters are actually unnecessary, but it is not a wise move to put a few shiny soy sauce bottles in every cut for the stars. Bell, Cooper, and Adams are actually enough to hold up the whole story. Unfortunately, with the extra space occupied by the cousin and the archer (the most useless are the old driver and the Mexican brother), the whole film is like a long The giant tree canopy can't stand straight like a foxtail.


There are two main points to slightly restore the level of the film:
One is that David, as the director, is more interesting in terms of lens language processing than before. Although he still lacks the mobilization of profound perspectives like Hollywood, he definitely does not lose the breadth of space. Moreover, it is increasingly possible to discover why David is praised by many people as "actor's Director"! The shots of this film really enhance the actor's sense of existence, from the overall retraction to the capture of details, it shows the director's goodness to the actor everywhere. Hard work. And because of this, another highlight of the film-the actors. First of all, the most worth mentioning is indeed that I have been very optimistic about AA, especially after this year's "Superman: Man of Steel" made this vase so rough and dispensable, I was forced to believe that AA is the latest in Hollywood. The number one seed of a salted fish. However, in this film, AA miraculously easily rolled over for himself. The transition between joy, anger, sorrow, and joy is neither awkward nor rough, nor does it say that the character's personality is sacrificed in order to take away and prevent the queen sister. There is no lack of shrewdness in the atmosphere, which activates the role of commitment from all angles. As for Bell and Cooper, although the two have not made obvious progress on the basis of previous performances, they still fulfilled their duties with quality and quantity. We can't just improve them every time just because they have become a corner. Those who have marked for injustice took the opportunity to make special handles for sarcasm. Besides, I personally have almost nothing to say. However, if I want more people to read the nonsense I wrote, I have to learn to be good and talk about my cousin. So, Jennifer really did not disappoint her supporters. However, what I have made a little criticism of her this time is that her release in the middle and late stages seems to be slightly incompatible with the overall atmosphere. Of course, this question is very interesting, and it can be entirely blamed on the director. In the end, what everyone thinks, it's not my responsibility!


However, in general, what I said at the beginning still needs to be repeated. "American Hoax" is a big-head story that lacks depth and cheesy, which director David uses more mature film language to tell with great effort. After reading it, we don’t even know that we should treat this gorgeous and bloated four-different urn. Yutang is still abandoned in the wilderness. In the embarrassing cracks of impropriety, it is difficult for me to see how it can shine on this year's OSCAR night.
