The film has a regular dramatic pattern. Pursuit + ambition + feat, all the way up and down. The heroine Rachel was fired to take up a new job. She experienced the encouragement and sympathy of her colleagues, the sudden blow of her boss, her mother's realistic interpretation of her dream, and her own difficulties and unremitting efforts in finding a job. Note that at this time, her "showy personal movements" (which always make people feel like singing and dancing) have all been shown in the resume submission and interview. Since then, several renditions of "personal actions" can be seen as a sign of the transition before the film's plot point.
At the same time, the smooth display of the night acts as a turning point in the curtain structure. The night tossing around in the time of seeking; in the ambition paragraph, first the cute expression of watching the night news after the sweetness with her boyfriend, then the embarrassment of the male anchor who was caught and run away from the night watch bar after the show was cut off, and then decided to break up and take a taxi. Look at the firm eyes of Hua Cai Ye New York; and finally paved the way for a small ups and downs, and it was also the boyfriend who reminded Rachel in the dark night not to trust the stubborn male anchor too much. Rachel's appearance in the dark night became more and more watery, which made me laugh and shy while watching. In "Morning Anchor", several night scenes made me feel the aura of black used in youth inspirational movies.
However, always believe that someone is working harder than you. Some people are giggling, chatting, drinking, secretly having fun in a daze, attacking games, taking drugs and hallucinating in the dark, but others are learning to write, design, think, work, review, arrange and build a small family. It is also black, some people deduce the depraved and some people bloom with aura.
Have the spirit to tell a story. Without a story, no matter how much spiritual energy it is, it is easy to slip to the level of fussing. Morning anchors, let’s try to tell stories, who will broadcast first, and then what will be broadcast. The new official took office three fires, and Rachel's illustrative action was to fire the male anchor and invited Harrison Ford. But this host is not an obedient and inspirational type. This kind of setting partially completes the confrontation with Rachel in the content of the anchor, so that Rachel not only has the virtual pressure of the show to be cut, but also shows the uncooperativeness. substantive event. It's just that the flaw in this part is that Harrison Ford didn't make enough troubles and did more than he did. As a result, in most of the first half of the movie, Harrison Ford is more like an old male model with a bitter face, nothing but an eyesore. And the outbreak of Rachel's several turning points and plot points seemed abrupt (for example, the female anchor and the location host went into battle in person, the male and female anchors talked back and quarreled with each other, and competed for the insider network of core news), which made me feel that Rachel was just a When reading the lines written by the screenwriter, there is no height for the protagonist to integrate into the story to think, discover, and draw direction. However, I want to applaud the director here. He externalized the incidental lines and filmed them as a whole, resulting in the effect of each news being rolled out. He used a lot of informative pictures to shock the audience's visual nerves. A turning point in thinking. The roller coaster hosted by the location host, the female anchor kissing the little animals, the selection and arrangement of these pictures have a sense of ups and downs, not only deducting the concept of "morning news is a hodgepodge", but also downplaying Rachel's low appearance during this segment sense of absence.
The female anchor Diane Keaton is my favorite in this movie. From the story point of view: she is an extension of Rachel's movements, Rachel is the editor-in-chief, and she is the person who does things. Under this function, she further strengthens Rachel's ideas, playing sumo and dancing in person; she is also Harrison •Ford's opposite, KitKat is more caring than him, and he is more comfortable than him, and at the end, Harrison Ford pinched his ass, completing the high degree of unity of the anchor line. The setting of this character line is clear, lively and efficient, and in terms of actor performance, Diane Keaton's rolling eyes and waving arms are more integrated into the plot than Rachel's "signature moves" at the turning point. Although exaggerated, it is also cute. Play an old urchin female anchor relaxed and moisturizing. If it weren't for her hard work, the director's lines would definitely not have the impact that they have now. Don't you see the other location male host, with a cucumber face, he can only stare and close his eyes, and his movements are stiff. And she doesn't steal the show. Towards the end, she said to Harrison Ford that you had driven her away. And finally, she said, also wanted a tropical fruit platter. The tone is natural, the stance is on the back, and there are not many small movements. It is clean and restrained and considers the overall situation, which won my heart. It can be seen from this that the choice of a functional actor is crucial. For example, Qi Pelin in "Before Dawn" has a large number of lines, and has been promoting the judgmental actions of the story. If there is no good actor's interpretation, the overall structure will be useless. The actor who played Chipperin is really good. It can also be seen from this that the narrative structure of some films is not the mode where the protagonist's action line comes first and leads the development of the story. There are supporting roles to build the structure, and the protagonists solve problems one by one and appear in small paragraphs to enrich the overall story.
I checked that the screenwriter of this play had written "The Devil of Fashion", it was a hodgepodge of first-line famous brands, so that after I watched it, I only remembered that Meryl Streep turned to Anne Heather again and again The bag and coat that Wei threw away, the storyline was forgotten. I don’t know if the screenwriter also realized that fancy costumes take over, so in this film, the heroine Rachel’s costumes can be described as simple, and there are not many love paragraphs. Her boyfriend actually acted as the burden of externalizing her fragile heart. However, I don't know if it's because the screenwriter is a woman, this boyfriend is not very attractive, his face is not sunny, and his body is average. In my opinion, he still feels a little bald, his movements have been slow, and his eyes are not focused enough. Older than Harrison Ford. Even the director didn't give him a lot of features. It was a casting failure. If Paul Walker came to play, I started to look forward to it.
Let's come back and continue talking about the character setting of the boyfriend. You can have friends in the workplace, but since the word colleague exists in the dictionary, it means that it is still different from friends and confidants. Boyfriend can tell everyone's secrets, secret habits, etc. on this TV station, and secondly, he can let Rachel erupt her love for news and panic about low ratings only in front of him. Both of these functions are great to help Rachel take the next step, with a personal life and a job, a beautiful silk shirt and cute animal-print panties, Rachel is very good at her boyfriend and work. And, note that the boyfriend appears in the ambition paragraph, and the little desire and acquisition of love diverts the audience's attention, because here, Rachel's work line, there is a problem of motivation. Rachel's motivation for such an upward job is not that she simply loves the morning news, but that her show is going to be cut off, and she is facing unemployment again. This feat, she is for her own survival, to put it a bit bigger, is fighting for the survival of the people around her, isn't it the main theme?
In other words, the motivation point of this inspirational film is too realistic and too stingy. Rachel's purpose is not to be unemployed but to survive, not a news ideal. To be honest, this disappoints me, because this kind of motivation is not based on people's hearts, but on social issues. The level is not high, and it is just technical work. Reminds me of "Marley and I", this film is also about returning to the family is more important than the realization of personal ideals. Are the themes in the United States and the world now advising people to guard their own land and not pursue spiritual excellence? From this point of view alone, "Fight Club" and "Black Swan" have a high motivation point. The exploration of the various possibilities of the mind and the pursuit of the perfect psychological identity make these two films more temperament than "Morning Anchor". . Of course, the screenwriter was a little clever. At the end of the film, Harrison Ford fought back, first with a serious news, saving the ratings, and then with a scrambled egg, calling back the female editor-in-chief Rachel . The former makes up for serious news, and we are still fighting for news! The latter deducted the heroine, after all, she is the hero. Look, let's work together. You trade entertainment for ratings. At my age, the world can't run news on battlefields, and every serious news can be considered a mission accomplished! It's actually quite life!
The advantage is that it is richer than ordinary inspirational films, and the ending is very life-like, and it does not rely on news ideals. After all, this motivation point is not reliable. Teamwork is more important than personal ideals, and this choice is very American. On the downside, Harrison Ford's scrambled eggs are really lacking in novelty, and I'm quite disappointed that there are no flowers here. The screenwriter just made a clue connection, the T-shirt, that Rachel's mother, the connection makes people feel that the screenwriter's screenwriting is sophisticated. But scrambled eggs, in the second act, (when Rachel stayed at Harrison's house), how long did it take you to lay the groundwork, and in the end you just used it directly, without refurbishment, it's unreasonable!
So tired, I wrote a lot, as a study note. Finally, a word about Rachel McAdams. This girl is Lindsay Lohan's supporting role. Back then, the supporting roles of "Mean Girls" are now on the big screen with Reiki, but Lindsay Lohan went to the jewelry store to steal chains. In a word, in and out of the show, day and night, you must always believe that someone is working harder than you.
