The big-name musical "Nine" is adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name, and the musical of the same name is derived from the famous movie, Fellini. The "Eight and a Half". Based on this speculation, this new film should also be worth watching, at least it should have its own personality and thoughts, but in fact, apart from the extravagant and chaotic impression, it is difficult to identify its personality and thoughts, or it can be said that its personality appears Scattered, thoughts appear blurred. However, audiences who like to watch big-name stars and singing and dancing scenes may still find some fun in it.
No wonder "The Hollywood Reporter" commented so mercilessly - "Although there are several scenes in the film that are enough to be recorded in film history, Hollywood bigwigs who are not good at singing and dancing can't stop this film." The fact that it’s on the show’s face. The movie version of Nine lost badly compared to the original on Broadway.” By contrast, “Marshall forgets it’s a movie, not a Broadway stage. Ignore the movie’s Personality, this movie can only be regarded as a pass. However, if you want to have a full addiction to watching stars in the movie, "Nine" can completely satisfy you." Such comments seem relatively mild.
Rob Marshall, who has directed the successful commercial musical "Chicago", seems to want to tell a story about men's desire, confusion, entanglement, career bottleneck, family crisis and character causes through "Nine" this time. The inner world and emotional turbulence of the hero Guido Contini is obviously a good idea, but the effect is not good. Although the film shows this, it seems to be powerless because of the burden and too much carrying. For example, each main character has to sing and dance for a long time. Another example is that in addition to the original songs of the musical, three more songs have been added. It seems that the song and dance are too long and the plot tends to be fragmented.
The content of the film involves the relationship between a man and multiple women, and the song and dance soon after the beginning shows the relationship between Guido Contini (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) and these women, and the song and dance and the scenes after that. , just repeated the performance of these relationships, and did not do more appropriate in-depth analysis, and some of them were only touched at a distance. It must be said that this is a pity.
The song and dance at the beginning of the film presents the illusion of Guido, the famous Italian director in the film, and unfolds his subconscious and spiritual world into a song and dance show. Women of different ages and styles appear one by one to show their characteristics -
Lan In the fog of color, Claudia (played by Nicole Kidman) walks slowly, she represents Guido's muse, the woman in his dreams, and the actor in reality, who is at a distance from him; Then came Louise (played by Marion Cotillard), Guido's wife, a real woman who suffered betrayal but still loved him; the appearance of her mistress Carla (played by Penelope Cruz) Enthusiastic and charming, it expresses Guido's desire and passion; Lily (played by Judi Dench) sings under the beam, she is the costumer of Guido's films, and she is also Guido's best friend, witnessing him The affair and troubles; then, a woman who can hold her back appears, she is Guido's mother (played by Sophia Loren), her appearance hints at Guido's Oedipus complex; A reporter (Kate Hudson) slides down a pole, foreshadowing that the celebrity Guido has countless sudden temptations at his fingertips; then, in the chair sits a wild woman (played by Fergie), who is Guido's childhood The prostitutes who go with the boys can be regarded as Guido's sexual enlightenment, and it also directly affects his views on women...
This song and dance is not short or long, but it just reproduces the relationship between Guido and women. , seems to want to explain that the reason why Guido has become the current Guido has nothing to do with the women in his life. It's a pity that the songs and dances that followed just repeated the same message and didn't go further.
When Guido's world collapsed, the direction of the plot chose a different path from "Eight and a Half". At the end, Guido hugged his young self, and the cameras and monitors in front of him began to move and rise - recalling Not long after the film started, Guido used a song to express his dissatisfaction with the changes of the years, saying that he was a 50-year-old body and a 10-year-old mentality. This kind of psychology makes him love to dream, and only those who love to dream can chase and reproduce the dream. From this point of view, the ending indicates that the depleted soul of Quido is nourished from the source of childhood, and the dream begins again.
