The film premiered in 2002, and it didn't win any big-name awards throughout the year or after. Al Pacino was 62 years old in 2002, and he's the kind of man who gets more and more charming as he gets older. Few people have such charisma, but Al Pacino couldn't single-handedly make the film a classic in the face of a terrible screenplay.
Throughout the film, Al Pacino's out-of-date director is full of rush and anxiety, and very well presents the ambivalence that Victor Transky endures under the ambivalence of whether to continue the deceitful behavior. The pressure, all the characters' feelings, are conveyed to the audience through Al Pacino's most expressive eyes on earth. From the beginning of the film, Al Pacino's trembling hands distinguish the colorful candies, I have been Understand that this movie will be dominated by Al Pacino's long monologues, body movements, and free-spirited emotions, just like "The Devil's Advocate", and Al Pacino's role in such roles is also dominated by Al Pacino. Once you are in control, you can let the director of the film compliment the film director by unleashing his already perfect acting skills.
So usually the poorest person is the one who plays opposite Al Pacino. Needless to say, "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", Al Pacino won the Oscar for this play, and Chris O'Donnell, who is not inferior to Al Pacino's in the film, is Completely overshadowed by the sharpness of Al Pacino, this highly accomplished film brought Chris O'Donnell no credit or capital, and his subsequent career in film has been bleak. When it came to "Pirates of Fire", people finally saw someone who could play with Al Pacino. This person has always been compared to Al Pacino's film achievements in China and all over the world. Even more great, his name is Robert De Niro, and "The Wire", a police and gangster film with little depth, has also become an unsurpassed totem in film history because of the rivalry between these two big horns. Later, in "Devil's Advocate", the well-known Keanu Reeves (the "Matrix" that laid the weight of Keanu Reeves in the future) became the leading actor, but Al Pasi Nuo defeated Keanu Reeves' efforts in the whole play with just a monologue in the second half of the film. In the end, people only remember that in the empty and gorgeous top hall, the hospitable and evil Satan danced and talked. Tan, the lawyer who was the protagonist of the film and intended to reflect the struggle of human nature has long been forgotten.
The same is true of "Virtual Idol". Rachel Roberts, who plays the heroine Simone, has become a complete vase, not only because Al Pacino is too bright, but also because the plot restricts her too much. . I am very disappointed by the level of screenwriting of this movie. The idea of this movie is very clever. If you can dig deeper - for example, to reveal the real emotions of the virtual characters, to have some interaction with Victor Transky, you can even go deep into the The rationality and legitimacy of the existence of artificial intelligence can make this film have a thicker texture, but the screenwriter seems to just want to make a drama film with a bit of sci-fi and comedy, which is also the biggest in the whole film. The failure also indirectly promoted the heroine to become the most vase of vase: a face with a stiff expression, a pitiful space to play, and not even a basic emotion of a film character, because she has always been Existing as a "virtual idol", both in the content of the film and in front of us as the audience, on that fragmented face when Victor Transky finally destroyed Simone with a computer virus Still can't see any sadness or other expressions, I can only sigh helplessly, hell, are you paying homage to EVA? Rachel Roberts' career in the film reached a peak in this film. After "Virtual Idol", she disappeared quickly, just like before the film started, of course, it may be helpless, Rachel Roberts She is not a professional actress. She had a good time in the graphic modeling circle before she acted in this film. It is estimated that the director used this beauty without acting skills to play a vase that does not need acting skills, and then returned it to her most suitable one. Fashion advertising circle.
On the contrary, Ewen Rachel Wood, who plays Al Pacino's daughter in this film, showed her talent in few appearances, which is also one of the few bright spots in this film. Ewen Rachel Wood was only fifteen years old when she starred in this film, but she showed amazing naturalness and calmness, without the slightest pretense and stage fright. After watching the film, I checked it out, and sure enough, She was born in an acting family, and her parents are mostly film and television practitioners. It is no wonder that she has such an amazing actor skills. She later became popular because of her youthful rebellion in "Fangling Thirteen", and she also appeared in American dramas such as "CSI" and "The White House", and even released a song album, but this is another story.
In general, if you love Al Pacino, then "Virtual Idol" is still worth watching. Al Pacino is a genius, but his habit of not picking a script when he takes on a movie is also a headache.
