Apparently, the most impressive thing about this blond Australian mature woman in recent years is her "long-life relationship" with the prehistoric giant "King Kong". In this thrilling "Love of Life and Death", Watts has practiced the real kung fu of screaming on the big screen. In fact, as early as seven years ago in "Mulholland Drive", she faced the life and death of a same-sex lover; in the subsequent American version of "Midnight Ghost", she fought with evil spirits to save the life of her beloved son. ; and then indulged in the drugs of "21 Grams"... Naomi Watts' sincere and passionate performance gradually convinced more and more audiences. Its style is completely different from the "sexy brainless scream" line of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Eliza Cuthbert and others, which seems to resonate more deeply in the audience's heart. Especially under the unique directing style of director Michael Haneke, Naomi Watts can once again give the exquisite passion performance as in "21 Grams".
Compared with the "wife" Naomi Watts's full play throughout the film, "husband" Tim Ross is definitely a green leaf. I remember that the first time I saw a Tim Roth film should be the "Reservoir Dogs" by the genius director Quentin Tarantino many years ago, as well as his "Pulp Fiction". The Londoner's stellar performances in both films are proof that he's made for an actor, because he's able to make you forget who he is while you remember those characters. So after watching "The Pianist at Sea" and then looking back, I suddenly found that: it turned out that the film was shot by an ordinary woman not long after the beginning. The hapless undercover cop who the audience had to suffer for him every time they looked at him was actually him! And the rookie robber who finally made up his mind to rob a coffee shop after chatting with his girlfriend, but unfortunately ran into a gangster killer, and then listened to Samuel L. Jackson's wonderful "Homemade Bible" was finally sent away by luck. It's him too! Here, he is a policeman, a killer, a liar, a hooligan, a street gangster... What he doesn't do as an actor! ? When it was time to be a green leaf, he restrained the light in his eyes and acted as a foil with peace of mind, performed his small role to the fullest, and acted as the connection point of Quentin's circular narrative structure; once he was asked to be a red flower, he immediately glowed With a clear expression, it approached your soul scorchingly, and firmly attracted your attention with those soul-stirring eyes. Although he may never be a superstar, as an elf-like actor, he will always conquer your eyes and heart with his charming handsome, sexy and cool demeanor. Invited by Haneke this time, to reinterpret the hapless husband in "The Game of Death", it can really make the audience feel the style of his gold medal Luye again.
About the director
Michael Haneke seems to be one of the most successful German directors today who has inherited and carried forward the traditional German horror-thriller genre. The fine tradition and the thought of adapting to the international trend have created Michael Hanek's status in the international film circle today. His work is both controversial and unable to meet the outright resistance of the mainstream. His masterpiece "Piano Teacher", with its shocking human nature story and description of sadomasochism, won the jury award in Cannes that year. And the success of "Evasion" in Cannes has completely created its prestige as a "cold violence expert". Right now, in the short two-minute trailer of the "Great Delight" released by the producer, it is enough for the audience to feel Hanak's hearty cold and violent work in the tense and cramped pictures and background music. It is reminiscent of the full-style works of masters such as Stanley Kubrick.
Such a high-quality story has naturally already entered the popular remake catalogue of Hollywood people. But the stubborn Haneke seems to be unable to tolerate the "trampling" of any of his works by others for a while. In this regard, the previous Ron Howard had encountered a closed door because of his intention to remake Haneke's "Dodge". However, after several times of persuasion and unremitting efforts by Warner's independent production company, Michael Harnek finally decided to take another shot and personally remake his own "The Great Pleasure", which caused quite a stir among fans and colleagues.
