It's just that for a career like a director, affection often brings passion. He is very charming and fashionable. After he became famous, he fell into a period of creative exhaustion, and troubles in life came one after another. Facing such a handsome middle-aged man, I really love and hate... Watching him hook his back and wear it The habitual action of the sunglasses has a strong trace of being cool, but I just bought this account... But when I saw his wife singing "My man, he made a movie", the eyes full of admiration and helplessness, I thought he was a scourge.
I wanted to write a good review of this movie, and I thought about countless openings, but the result was still very mediocre. Commenting on the quality of a movie, many people can say it righteously, but if those people are allowed to make it, it may not be able to make a world-shattering masterpiece. When a director is making his debut or early work, a large part of it is made with love, impulse, and dreams. At this time, they are full of talent. Although they are a little immature, they are fresh and unbearable to destroy. Encouraged, they became more and more energetic, and soon ushered in a world-famous masterpiece (of course, this is the best situation), so far, when everyone thought that this was a good start, It's over. Zhang Yimou is like that.
Coincidentally, I actually saw someone's evaluation of this movie, which is "very similar to the old man's movie". That's right, "Nine" is very colorful, charming, and sensual. It uses a large amount of stage play, so it is extremely exaggerated and stunning. I don't believe any man who sees this movie will think "it's not good-looking." ". Because it was shot too high-profile, some people pointed out that its connotation could not keep up with its appearance. "Nine" is a remake of Fellini's "Eight and a Half", a so-called landmark black-and-white boring literary film. I don't know how many ordinary people like me can watch it with joy. I just remember that after reading it, I thought Italian was the worst language I've ever heard (sorry). That's all. Maybe it's because of my shallow vision that I can't see the subtlety of the master, but I believe I can't, and neither can most people who, like me, think that movies are ultimately for entertainment.
A good story, or just seeing something beautiful, can be pleasurable. It's certainly a better experience if it's both beautiful and a good story. So when some people say that "Nine" is just a remark about the gathering of beautiful women, I feel very puzzled. Originally a good thing, why accuse him why it can't be better? Isn't that too harsh?
But this is not to say that the film "Nine" has no connotation at all. I think the only reason this movie can't be called a masterpiece is that the plot is not original. Every shot of it reminds me of the forgotten images in "Eight and a Half". It can be said that "Nine" is to "Eight and a Half" as Lin Shaohua is to Haruki Murakami. The unfamiliar Italian and non-mainstream Italian culture may only be understood by those who are very familiar with Italy. "Nine" makes this obscure. The incomprehensible film has entered the public eye.
As for it becoming a box office poison again (really, I don't know if it should be called a coincidence or a satire), I can only say that this is an unchangeable fate of a literary film. Or you can define a literary film as a film with a dismal box office (laughs).
