The reason I mention this is because if this movie follows my usual generalization: it is another movie in which the event itself is bigger than the movie. I think a lot of its success comes from that.
George Clooney's father was an American TV news anchor, George Clooney's directorial debut "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" is about the famous TV host Chuck Barris's story when he was young He himself had a brief career as a journalist, which is arguably why he's been shooting TV stories. Once again, it proves that most directors' debut films are still childhood impressions, time marks, etc... I think there is a lack of bright spots in the technique, and it is very unrealistic to expect an American actor to have brilliant directorial talent. Just being able to tell the story smoothly and flatly. So watching this film is a dull experience. I watched it three times. Of course, this is also due to the Chinese subtitles that are full of mistakes and omissions. I have to say a polite word for this film. The great era of stormy seas is expressed in a deliberately calm tone.
