Martin's depiction of the extreme moments of a certain character state and drama atmosphere is still superb and magnificent, perfect and perfect, several scenes in the film are enough to be recorded in the history of Hollywood movies, but this story tells, ah, from "Flight After "Home", he basically lost his film narrative ability. This time it was even worse. It took three hours to tell a story about the United States in his mind.
But Jordan in the film is not Michael Jordan after all, and Martin's attempt to write the great ideal of "Citizen Kane" on Wall Street has finally become plain. The reason is that in my opinion, the narrative structure and audio-visual language evolution of modern movies has far surpassed the original Hollywood New Wave period led by Martin Scorsese and Coppola. The audience accepts the taste and taste of a story. Endurance is also very different. Imagine that the same script is given to Quentin. He will definitely complete a more dazzling and wonderful story, and a more extreme and crazy character within two hours. If you give it to the Coen brothers, they will definitely be able to take this story. The story is more fragmented but direct to people's hearts, and gives the story more philosophical speculation and extra-picture space.
The American dream, the diaosi, the rising sky, the dollar and the beautiful women, lost and broken dreams, these are the fate and narrative structure of the most common characters in Hollywood movies, and the audience is used to it. If there is no ambition to create a personal legend, this story is completely absent. It must be so linear, lengthy and logical. As a personal legend, this story lacks drama and bizarre. What's more, the director has poured too much subjective emotion and wishful thinking on the characters and the story. Arouse a sense of substitution for the protagonist. The same narrative is inferior to "Social Network" and "Slummer Millionaire", the story is not as exciting as Lu Lihe, and the mentality is not as calm and peaceful as others.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who was born in the same year and on the same day and on the same day, has dedicated rare and superb acting skills, especially the rivalry with Jonah Hill, which is perfect in terms of performing arts. In particular, I can clearly feel that they surpassed the improvisation paragraphs set by the script's lines, which are as wonderful as JAZZ. If there is no "Dallas Buyers Club", he really deserves his name to win the Little Golden Man, up to the guy in Lasley. , The acting is really better than him. On the contrary, it is a few of his speeches and very provocative paragraphs of dialogue. I think so so, good, but not wonderful.
Martin may be able to make a few more movies, and I guess I will watch it, but the Martin Skothys we know and love may indeed be far away.
