Although "Virtual Idol Simone" has gathered many big-name actors in Hollywood, such as the leading actors Al Pacino, Catherine Keener, and even Winona Ryder, she has a small role in it, but she is not limited to Entertaining, the 117-minute Hollywood narrative finale tells a parable about the DreamWorks. Her director, who also wrote The Truman World, is New Zealand filmmaker Andrew Nickel. I believe that viewers who have watched "The Truman World" will not forget Andrew's metaphorical irony on the negative effects of the TV and film industries.
Similarly, in "Simonie", the director who satirized Hollywood's rise to fame and abandoned the star who brought her (Winona's role) to show the embarrassed and helpless director (Victor, played by Al Pacino) who became an actor's slave, There are also audiences who are led by the nose and lose their ability to discern the truth (the director is determined to destroy Simone's image, and when a film of "I Am Pig" is released, the audience, no matter how disgusting, can be compared with "Sodom's" 120 Days" still pursues her)...
Victor said to his ex-wife, "I create her.", but his wife said, "It is her who create you.". This contradictory proposition is the director's embarrassment. In the end, does his work must come from himself or the actor? Without Simone's success, Victor's works would be insignificant; but without Victor's leadership, how could Simone emerge? - Similar to which came first the chicken or the egg, it is a question.
Later, Victor was determined to eliminate Simone, but was attacked by the pressure of public opinion, thinking that he killed Simone. The fate of the characters goes to the extreme passive state. From this, it seems to understand that while the director carefully exposed the film industry, star system, and producer system, he also used a method that was contrary to "Dogma95" (that is, used a lot of special effects), but merged with the film theme. Advocacy of S. von Trier.
As we all know, as early as 1995, Russ launched the "Dogma 95" manifesto as the leader. His original intention was to oppose the modification of the film by high-tech means, while ignoring the spirit of the film itself. It is precisely "Simonie" that uses a lot of stunts to transform real-life actor Rachel Roberts into a virtual star, but it has reached the point of criticizing that high-tech methods can not only create scenes, but even actors - it's fake and real The purpose of causing the audience to go crazy.
See Dog Town (2002) again. Although "Dogma95" has been questioned continuously for seven years, Russ still strictly abides by the rules. In 178 minutes, except that the camera lens cannot cover the whole town, and the computer is used to synthesize multiple shots in the later stage, no special effects are used, and even extreme white lines are added. Text descriptions to represent spaces and objects.
After all, the use of high-tech in film art is a pros and a con, and there is always debate. And I just feel that, just as the flowers of only one color in the garden are easy to be annoying, only the movies of the Russ and the movies made by high-tech means can make the movie worthwhile.
