Whether admitted or not, female filmmakers will play a more important role in Hollywood in the next decade. On the good side, in the history of a century of film, we can finally start to examine the various types of traditional worlds on the big screen from another perspective, not just limited to chicken movies; but on the bad side, In the early stages of the development of this "New World", we will certainly see many speculators who take advantage of this opportunity, but who themselves are far from the independent spirit of women.
For example, Sony’s failure to restart in 2016, the "Sexual Transformation" version of Ghostbusters, such as Disney’s launch this year, the ugliest science (??) phantom film in history, "The Wrinkle of Time"-the former At any rate, it is still a Hollywood fast food that can be imported. The latter is simply the ultimate disaster in the history of contemporary blockbusters. It is an annual wonder at any level: art performance editing stories are all bad, and LSD directly on the eyeballs can't make such a thing. thing.
However, even so, the female director Ava Duwayne actually got the director seat of the DC superhero blockbuster "New Protoss". The black female director who gained fame by virtue of "Selma" was afraid that she had forgotten the success of "Selma" that year, mainly from David Oiro’s successful imitation of Martin Luther King, not from What is the advantage of the film in terms of hardware quality.
Disney is invincible in Marvel's superhero movies, but it has struggled with women's movies; on the contrary, Warner, who continues to languish in the DCEU project, has a good control over women's movies. After "Wonder Woman", "Crossing the Sky: Beauty Trick" was nothing short of a piece of cake for Warner-think about the difficult-to-birth female version of "The Expendables", and you know how important this is. The familiarity with crime-themed genres revealed in "Hidden from the Sky: Beauty's Tactics" will even make you look forward to the appearance of a good-looking female-themed cannabis movie.
But being a film with obvious typological characteristics does not mean that it is an excellent film. The main strengths and weaknesses of "Crossing the Sky: Beauty Tactics" have appeared on the actors, and although director Gary Rose is better at female subjects, there is no such command that Steven Soderberg showed when dealing with the series "Crossing the Sky: Beauty". Pleasant yuppie style. Although the movie is relaxed, it is very dull—especially the third act after the completion of the robbery.
Perhaps what Gary Rose and the entire industry need most to reflect on is not how to pick up the teeth and forcibly remake the classic series into a female version of sex, but should be brave to pioneer and create a tailor-made film for these talented female filmmakers. A genre film that truly belongs to women.
It's like Steve McQueen's "Widow Agent" which will be released this year—although it is also a remake, but the judgement is reached.
Gary Rose’s neat plan for "Beauty" makes the movie lack a lot of fun. For many times, you don’t even realize the interaction between these characters, as if 8 people are different clones of a person, never Contradictions and disputes will arise. The film has a heavy imitation of Soderberg's visual and narrative style, but it only exists in the lens and editing, and lacks integration with the performance. Considering that the budget of "Eleven Arhats" 17 years ago was only slightly higher than that of "Beauty", and the difference between the actor and actress positions, this kind of production is not satisfactory, or it can be attributed to the production. Laziness can only be blamed on inflation. The script written by Gary Ross and Olivia Mirch is simpler and more direct than Soderbergh’s time. This is also an important reason for the lack of fun in the film. Without a complicated theft plan, how can it highlight the smooth execution process? Woolen cloth?
But there is one thing in "Beauty Tactics" that is the same as "Eleven Arhats": that is, there are no more than three stars that really work. In Soderberg's time, "Crossing the Sea", I watched George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon; while Gary Rose's "Beauty", I watched 2.5 Oscar queens. Although Sandra Bullock resembles Michael Jackson and has not appeared in a first-line live-action movie for five years since 2013's "Gravity", she and Cate Blanchett (and half of Anne ·Hathaway) dedicated the biggest point of view of the whole movie. The performance of the two is equally matched, and the interaction is natural and reasonable: the former is very charming, and he safely took over the core position assumed by George Clooney, and fully played this role. The role that the role should have; and the latter, with its profound experience in drama, naturally becomes the perfect match for the former, without any attempt to overwhelm the master. This is a very important part of a group play movie.
But other than that, the performances of other characters are uneven, and can even be summed up from the length of the appearance. This is also an obvious misunderstanding: For non-professional actors, it should not be because they have taken on a smaller role, so they should avoid the pursuit of higher performance; and for directors, it should not be because of them. Non-professional actors, let them take on less screen time.
This is a lazy and unprofessional approach, LAZY and UNPROFESSIONAL.
"Crossing the Sky: Beauty Tactics" is a fresh attempt at the traditional, male-dominated thieves movie, providing a rare stage for some potential Hollywood actresses-from the Vegas casino full of male hormones to Gala, a cosmopolitan city that has become a female paradise-but not all actresses are very comfortable with this kind of role transition, especially those who lack big screen experience.
Although Gary Rose's "Beauty" is far from perfect, it is full of fashion sense and is a good supplement to Soderberg's screen legacy more than ten years ago. If a sequel can be launched in the future, ideally, it is best to find an excellent director who can match Soderbergh.
