"CATS": 5 points
The whole network is scolding, with very low expectations, the look and feel is not as bad as imagined. In my opinion, this is the cult movie of the year.
The first half hour is generally the most unacceptable place for everyone. It involves a lot of heavy-handed plots, eating cockroaches and eating garbage, and weird human-shaped cats. Maybe my personal taste is more biased. For me, these are curious and exciting, but they are added. sub option. But these curiosity will no longer appear later, which is a pity.
The biggest problem with the film is that it uses music uncontrollably. There are few pauses in the middle of the whole film. Often one song ends and the next one is followed. The amount of information in each paragraph of Lone Star Tears is extremely high, with a complex story as the basis, and the audience can easily enter the story. And the story of "CATS" is too simple, so each paragraph basically expresses characters and emotions. Once the audience cannot enter the state, the whole process will be very tormented.
If you only look at one section, the performance of singing and dancing is actually good, but when sections of singing and dancing are densely piled together, the whole is more annoying. During the viewing, you will always look forward to when it can stop the music. .
Another problem is that although the movie is an alternate universe, the logic of the movie is actually very strange. The strangeness here does not refer to why the cat sings and dances, but the presentation of the film does not conform to physical logic. To put it simply, if the size of the cat in the movie is presented according to the proportion of the real world, it is difficult to explain why the cat has well-fitting clothes and shoes. The stage play can ignore these, but this happens in the movie. It will be very entertaining.
The advantage is still in the singing and dancing sections. The old man's performance on the stage is very powerful, and the singing and dancing with gold powder is the best in the audience. Each cat's song and dance can profoundly express the cat's character. On the one hand, this stage expressiveness is more credited to the original stage play, and on the other hand, the director has worked hard on the language of the camera.
I don't know if it's because the last "Tears of a Lone Star" was complained by many people that it only had close-ups and no action. This one made the actors sing and dance, but to be honest, the imagination is still not enough. Although the car overturned this time, I still have expectations for the director. It is a kind of courage to dare to adapt such a world-class stage play.
