The black male protagonist used his poor acting skills from start to finish-staring and screaming, to interpret a black man who has turned from a free man into a slave. He is powerless to resist. He hopes to be appreciated by his master to gain a free body. He has the spirit of resistance of free people in his bones, and he always maintains a heart of compassion. This is his shining point. He believes in others and has unrealistic illusions about slave owners. This is his weakness. All this is pitiful for the male owner. Underwhelmed by his acting skills. It's not that he didn't perform these points, but that all the characters under his face were facialized. From the beginning to the end, it seemed that his face was conveying a panic, nothing else.
BC, in fact, except for Sherlock, this is the first time I have seen his other works (not counting stupid dragons). It is difficult to remove him from Shenxia, and his performance did not let me take him from Shenxia. Pick it out. His character setting has no shining points, but good people are not easy to shine. His role is not irreplaceable, that is, it can be played by any other person. This can be said to be a failure of the role.
Actress, it can be said that among all the actors, the one who shines the most is this newcomer actor. Many old actors in the play want to show their acting skills, so the plot of the play becomes the accessories of the characters, and the characters become the accessories of the actors. And this female partner, maybe because she is a new actor, her interpretation is the maid itself, without too much personal things, it looks comfortable.
Finally, let me talk about the settings of this script. It can be seen that the director's personal mark is still very deep, and the screen and plot are all okay, but the script itself is a weakness. This script actually doesn’t have much storytelling, so it needs the performance of the actors, and it may be that there are more famous actors, and the director who should control the whole rhythm has no control effect, so the actors play a little harder, so that the plot and everything are a little clouded. Up.
However, the songs in this movie are really good, I like them very much. This movie is not worth watching. As for the Oscar, I really don’t want to say anything.
PS: Forget the important thing about complaining, that is, the presentation of violent scenes in this film makes me want to give it a star directly. I think many violent scenes in this movie are unnecessary, and the real suffering is not physical, but spiritual. So this is the most important reason why I dislike this movie so much.
