After watching the beautiful film "Studio Girl" in 2006, I felt a little bit fond of Sienna Miller's performance. After the complete breakup of Jude Law, Sienna Miller is not only happier when she is single, but also seems to be able to act. Compared with the experience of Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman, West Jena Miller looks promising. But after watching the 2007 American film "Secret Meeting" in which she was the heroine, not only did she have a little doubt: Will she act? Therefore, when I saw the comment of "Entertainment Weekly" in the United States, "Is Sienna Miller really a talented actress?", I laughed.
In fact, I have been looking forward to this film for a long time. Because of my expectations, when I watch it, once I come across a part that is unsatisfactory or overdone (mainly Sienna Miller's part), I artificially Deleting it, it seems that the brain will automatically re-edit it, so I feel tired and tired, and this kind of tiredness obviously affects the overall viewing effect of the film, and there is a sense of disconnection from time to time, which is a kind of self-inflicted Sorry!
This new version of "Secret Meeting", starring and directed by Steve Buscemi, is a remake of the 2003 Dutch film of the same name. Tribute to the filmmaker Theo van Gogh (great-nephew of the painter Vincent van Gogh).
Many people's conception of Theo van Gogh comes from his famous surname, and more people started to pay attention to his works after he was killed, such as Steve Buscemi, "When After Theo van Gogh was killed, I felt more sadness and horror than ever before, it was a kind of sympathy, but now I know more than anyone about his films and the film techniques I used to use, and I use them to the best of my ability. Quick to become a big fan of his, Theo van Gogh likes to create strong contrasts with the interplay between man and woman, tight and unpretentious plot lines, great language, all very Fits my heart..." After Steve Buscemi's "Secret Meeting," Stanley Tucci's "Dating with Strangers," and John Turturro's new version of "06" , and all three films were shot by Thomas Kist and his crew, the photographer of Theo van Gogh.
Theo van Gogh has produced 25 films and TV films in his lifetime, most of which focus on the power struggle between human beings, the rivalry between the sexes, and the changes in roles between people brought about by the transformation of power relations. . Film critic Dana Linson put it this way: "He showed us that, when in power, the victim can be an opportunist, the hero can be a gangster, and vice versa." The size of the area and the small number of people may be staged between two people in the same fixed space, such as "Secret Meeting".
Veteran war correspondent Pierre Pardes has been "haunted" on various important occasions. He can be said to be well-informed. However, he was sent by the leader to interview a recently popular soap opera actress Katya. Pierre is very upset. . As an old man who has seen the most terrifying events in the world, Pierre despises Katya's frivolous behavior and shallow world view. The two people met very unhappily at the first meeting and broke up unhappily.
Pierre, who was taking a taxi on the street, made the taxi kiss the car in front of him because the driver was Kateya's Zhongsi, in order to catch up with Kateya who was on the street show on purpose. Pierre's forehead was injured, and Kate felt guilty. Ya took Pierre to her house to clean and bandage the wound, so the two continued interviewing, chatting, drinking, dancing together, even yelling, swearing, fighting, and of course snooping and trickery in Katya's comfortable and spacious attic .
These two people are very different, originally belonged to two completely different living spaces, and their thinking concepts are far different; these two people are very similar, they are strong and full of control, and both try to persuade each other and suppress each other's will, so they have different concepts and ideas. They argued all night about how to deal with people; the two of them were lonely and full of scars. Through the brief contact and quarrel that night, a kind of intimacy gradually developed between them... This night, they or It seems to be playing a game, or ruthlessly exposing and mocking each other's "secrets and scars", or full of self-confidence in their own attraction, or no certainty and no confidence in life. Gradually, after many battles of wits and arrogance and even wrestling, a kind of trust seemed to be established, and they played the so-called candor card with each other.
In the end, however, everything lost to shrewdness and deceit: as soon as he walked out of Kateya's house, Pierre couldn't wait to call the editor-in-chief, saying that he had first-hand information - the diary in Kateya's computer, which broke the news Katya is terminally ill; and Katya has long since dropped the video tape of Pierre's revealing heart, which contains Pierre's most secret things, Katya stood by the window and called Pierre on the street, Tell him that the so-called diary is nothing more than a note of her understanding of the role she played...
The main scenes of the film are all concentrated in one room. If you think about it from a distance, it is easy to think of a film by the surrealist film master Luis Bunuel, in which a pair of people are locked in a room. Men and women, they cannot be separated for some unexplainable reason. Looking closer, I occasionally think of Xu Jinglei's "Dream into Reality", but the latter can't be compared with the former, and it's not a class at all.
The original version of "Secret Meeting" is straightforward and full of tension, compact structure, rhythmic and rhythmic dialogue, and the background of Dutch history and culture, coupled with Theo van Gogh's surreal feeling and visual imagination, making it unique , quite stylish. And Steve Buscemi's new version "not only retains the basic plot of the original, but also adds some Americanized classic bridges" ("Variety" evaluation). The fly in the ointment is that Sienna Miller's performance and part of the dialogue are lengthy, because Sienna's performance makes some dialogues seem protracted and boring, and in many plots, her performance is abrupt and inexplicable, and does not have a good grasp. Characters, wasting a lot of scenes that should be brilliant.
