The cast is very luxurious, and the two leading actors occupy most of the film's time, reminding me of Tony Leung and Andy Lau in Infernal Affairs. High Commander's performance in this film is definitely worthy of any compliments in words, but I don't think it's scary. Always meet or even exceed your expectations. What is a good actor? A good actor is when you give him one-third of the playing time, but he can steal the limelight of the whole play. This is a good actor! Bradley Cooper's performance is also good. It's similar to the Silver Linings Playbook, and the scenes are good, but compared with the high commander, it lacks some shock in strength. But Eva Mendes' performance in this film surprised me a lot, and there are a few scenes that left a very deep impression on people, it turns out that she is not a vase at all.
Director Derek Cianfrance's first work, Blue Valentine, is my favorite work. The plot theme of this film is still novel, with a good beginning and an ideal ending in the end. Unfortunately, the middle of the story is slightly out of line and lacks a sense of fluency. After watching the first half, you can roughly guess the development of the story after that. The story of this film does not completely follow the orthodox Hollywood model of good people and bad people, but tries to create ordinary people with flesh and blood, these people have their own difficulties and their own flaws, which is why I like Derek Cianfrance's films , is true enough.
The script of the film is well written, but I don't think it has achieved its full potential. The performances of Commander Gossip and Eva Mendes are undoubtedly the highlight of the film, but it is also the film's flaw, because in the absence of them In time, the audience will experience a great contrast. After watching this film, I was thinking, if the director did not choose to narrate directly, but used the interlude method of "21 Grams", would it produce extraordinary effects? With such a straightforward way of telling, I don't like the film as much as the previous work, Blue Valentine.
Speaking of praise and love for High Commander, I can't write an entire article. I firmly believe that he will become a figure in Hollywood. He will not be the next Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio, he will be the next Robert De Niro Or Al Pacino, waiting for you to get the best actor! ! !
