Washington Post: This rare light

Josie 2021-12-02 08:01:26

How about a linear narrative, a three-stage structure, and a bright ending, so old-school orthodox and neat? The topical and dramatic sensation of real events is at its peak. In fact, it is more necessary for art works to be "derived from life above life" and to be simple and simple, just like a rare and beautiful dress that does not need extra secular jewelry to set it off. Otherwise, that The light of the world will surely take away this rare beauty!

The epic-level scene scheduling and the hall-level group play are truly casual and do whatever they want. One more point is vulgar, and one point less is dignified. Uncle Si's familiarity with narrative has long since reached the level where flying flowers and fallen leaves are all swords. Characters, dialogue, editing, mirroring, scheduling, and music, turning hands into clouds, covering hands as rain, are all delicious and harmonious. Aunt Mei's acting skills are extremely powerful. This strength does not stem from the character's strong aura, but precisely from the character's fragility and hesitation, as if Sophie, who had the highest acting skills in the past, could no longer be surpassed since then. Let's publish on the phone, let’s publish!, the right hand raised up after hanging up the phone, unsure of right or wrong, closed eyes that don’t want to think again but can’t help but worry deeply,... these subtle and imperceptible subtleties The micro expressions of the actions will be engraved into the hall of acting every moment, becoming an example of the yearning, looking up and worshipping of future generations.

The moment the newspaper went to print, I thought of Schindler's creaking typewriter. After so many years, the film has changed a lot, but it still steadfastly presents the most precious and precious light in human nature; the audience has changed from time to time, and they are still tearing their eyes for this rare light.

    The textbook-level Spielberg actor scheduling class was so cool to watch. A few mirror games, a few indoor scenes, that multiplayer phone scene... it's pretty much. However, there are still some flaws of stepping on the wrong point or using too much force, such as a scene where the court meets an opponent's female assistant or finally walks out of the court through a group of hippie women.

    Streep's interpretation of Mrs. Graham's inner transformation through a series of subtle expressions and eyes on this end of the phone is the most magical performance on the screen this year. Aunt May performed in this powerful drama focused on female characters. It is an unquestionable achievement, and Spielger’s craftsmanship as an effective carrier maximizes the talents of each department in this tight-paced film creation team.

The Post quotes

  • Roger Clark: If you got the study from the same source, that would amount to collusion.

    Ben Bagdikian: Yeah, we could all be executed at dawn.

    Roger Clark: And we could be held in contempt of court - which means Mr. Bradlee and Mrs. Graham could go to jail. Mr. Bagdikian, how likely is it that your source and the Times source are the same person?

  • Kay Graham: When Phil died it was just - I was 45 years old and I had never held - I never had to hold a job in my life. But, I just, I loved the paper, you know. I do. I do so love the paper. I don't want it to be my fault. I don't want to be the one - I don't want to let Phil and my father and all of you kids and everybody down.
