Female director Susanne Bier teamed up with Bradly Cooper and J.Law to premiere at the BFI Film Festival.
Summary of the story:
During the Great Depression in the United States, George Pemberton ran a lumber mill in North Carolina. After marrying his bride Serena, the fate of a new family was betrayed by partners, servants, and persecuted by the government. ups and downs.
This film is full of lengthy close-ups of the characters' faces. The light and shadow are very cleverly combined on the faces of the characters, and the psychological activities are easy to capture.
J.Law really came to show his face again, Nima, you have a lot of expressions, no matter how much you have, you can still have more than the two-dimensional friends in our group! ! ! However, the queen is the queen, and every movement of body and facial expressions is as natural as the standard and natural after precise calculation and rehearsal thousands of times. J.Law has amazingly demonstrated her best emotional and psychological state for N consecutive times.
This is the best performance in Bradly Cooper's career. The character is somewhat in line with Bradly's own sunny and tall image, but he brilliantly interprets a rich boy who is kind-hearted, likes to be accommodating, and a prodigal son, and finally awakens his kindness, Wild and wild, the battle between humans and beasts is really sour, and I feel that all the grievances and mistakes have been bought and sold by his death. Looking forward to next year he will compete with Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne. After watching the preview, I think Eddie will win haha.
The film has a heavy tone, autumn seasons, and cool tones. The first 1/3 of the plot progressed too fast, the grievances and conflicts accumulated rapidly, and the last 2/3 progressed slowly, each event escalated the contradictions one after another. The final scene is like a big stone pressing on the heart, and the sadness comes from it. When I watched this film, I kept thinking, what are you talking about, why don't you preach? The film did not take place in the West, but it is really a Western film, the love and hate in a small town, fugitives, sheriffs, Indians replaced by mysterious servants, cowboys replaced by lumberjacks, a typical Western family feud History, but as Hawthorne said, Families are always rising and falling in America, a nice misplaced western.
Those desolate, far away from civilization, close to nature, well-dressed people think they can maintain their own, when love and hatred drive people to lose their bottom line, no one wants to be a decent human being, and they use all their strengths for the most primitive Desire to kill.
