A Love Letter: Norton to Brooklyn, me to him

The music screen and atmosphere are so beautiful that the daily battles blew up three times. New York in the 1950s was icy and dense, and there was no resistance at all to the shots of the Brooklyn Bridge in the dark one after the other.

The movie deletes some details of the novel, especially the childhood memories of Lionel and others as orphans, which seems to have a little influence on the shaping of the characters (just like some friends who say they don’t know what the identity of Tourettes and orphans contribute to the story), The whole thing seems to be painless, or rather gentle. But after all, one-dimensional to three-dimensional, it is inevitable. But the most important thing is, Nuo Dun's single-handedly arranged mirror movement, shredded reading script, and gentle and somewhat neurotic performance! It should contain a lot of his personal experience (fans are celebrating the new year). Full of swaying Jazz, Thom Yorke's whisper, although it is an underdog story, it is still a petty bourgeoisie.

The box office and ratings don't seem to be very good. I feel sorry for Mr. Nuo. I feel that for so many years, whether he has been an actor or a director, a commercial film or an independent film, he has always retained that picky intellectual temperament, always with a sense of shyness and mystery. . It is still a bit difficult to be welcomed by mainstream aesthetics while satisfying one's own desire for expression. The director's path may be destined to be difficult for him. But Young Master Nuo probably doesn't care, hahaha. And I believe that he is definitely still trying to cater to the public's taste in this film. It could have been made twice as literary and artistic. ) But this way, probably no one but the fans will really watch it.

In short, it is really satisfying to see such a diary-like work. I still hope that Nuo Dun will open more business in the future. No matter the director, I feel very comfortable no matter how I look at it.

    A story of hard-core reasoning, it is quite in line with Norton, who can't get along in Hollywood. Norton's acting skills have nothing to say, I can read such a bland story. Then again, for such a bland story, there is really no need to make it so long, and I am a little sorry for the fans who have waited for more than ten years.

    Too old-fashioned and boring hardcore detective movie, and leaves too much room for Edward Norton to show his acting skills, two and a half hours long, procrastinating, chaotic, and in terms of plot, you can easily guess the conspiracy The tricks and the murderer behind the scenes are extremely lacking in suspense and tension. Only the addition of the soundtrack and the sense of the times makes people reluctant to watch.

Motherless Brooklyn quotes

  • Lionel Essrog: Fuckin' mess is right. The nun said my soul wasn't at peace with God and I should do penance. Frank said anyone teaching God's love while they hit you with a stick should be ignored on every subject.

  • Lionel Essrog: Here lies Frank Minna. Cool as can be. They'll carve that on his fuckin' tombstone.
