The "Arhat" series made me see the gathering of stars. The big names flocked here, as if not to make a movie, but more like a party or a fashion show. When George Clooney, Brad Peter, Damon, Julia Roberts, Al Pacino, Catherine Zeta Jones, appeared on the screen together, I thought that the film’s investors would take this time of adventure. If it is, you may only drink thin portions, unless these people give up the high pay.
"Eleven Arhats" is relatively successful, otherwise there would be no "Twelve" and "Thirteen". Movie investors invite first-line movie stars to join in order to take advantage of each other to make the movie have a good harvest. The "Arhat" series has such a gorgeous lineup, which really makes the film achieve a good publicity effect. At this time, the quality of the script is second.
If you watch more Hollywood theft movies, you will find that these movies are always the same. A team of computer hackers, mechanics and a team leader who is capable of doing things without surprises. The goal is huge sums of money or cultural relics, and then carefully planned the perfect ending.
Stealing movies have similar plots, but different expressions. "Arhat" is the star card, and Clooney's confident smile makes the audience hardly worry about their actions, as long as they watch them perform a good show. In addition to celebrities, "Big Sale" has a delicate emotion. This kind of emotion will grab the audience's heart from beginning to end, making the audience feel terrified for these "thieves".
Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and Edward Norton in "Big Sale" are three generations of acting superstars, and the lineup is absolutely powerful. In terms of plot, it is different from the way the young and promising Petes in "Arhat" succeeded in one fell swoop. The old Brando owed a debt to the gang, and if he couldn't pay it back, he was about to lose his old life, which was quite the tragedy of a heroic twilight. As a friend, De Niro, who has been in the "workplace" for twenty-five years, can completely stop doing it and enjoy the family happiness with his lover, and he chose to do this last order for friendship. This will undoubtedly capture the audience emotionally. Although I feel that "Big" will not escape the successful ending of the theft movie, but when I watched it, I was still sweating for De Niro, afraid of accidents. Norton's betrayal increased the dramatic tension of the film, highlighting De Niro's professionalism and caution in terms of technology.
Judging from the plot of the movie, "Luohan" is slightly monotonous. I don't deny its entertaining nature by saying this. However, as a feature film, the story of "Large" is relatively full. From the performance point of view, De Niro's inner conflicts and choices are more profound than Clooney's self-confidence throughout.
Regardless of the details, the accumulation of stars is always the same.
The star-studded Hollywood thief movies are made to the present point, which will make future generations very embarrassed. If there are no stars to join, will anyone dare to shoot these thief again? Although this year's "Intimateness as a Thief" bundled Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas, the effect was not very good. In the context of commercial films, it seems difficult for such films to make breakthroughs in scripts. Maybe they can learn from "Crazy Stone" and move closer to comedy films.
