The film hasn’t been finished yet, and I can’t help writing comments while watching it. I always feel that Al Pacino’s interpretation of the role is uniquely childish. This film shows his innocent temperament to the fullest. The lines, plot, and actors are all very fun. NS.
Reading some in-depth reviews and discussions about reality and virtuality suddenly raised the idea of the film to a whole new level. It is undeniable that the film does have a philosophical meaning. When the lights on the stage are shining, Al Pacino said triumphantly. "I know it is easier to lie to a hundred thousand people than to lie to one person", the godfather is vaguely visible. Simone does not exist, but Mr. Lu Xun once said that “there is no way in the world, and if there are more people walking, it becomes a way”, so Simone also exists. In the hearts of fans all over the world, she is the incarnation of the goddess. Glamorous can't be anything.
The success of virtual idols is not only due to the advancement of digital technology. It can be said that this is a great irony of the blind worship of humans in the world today. The more mysterious the more likely it is to confuse people. Artists have unpredictable temperaments and unpredictable whereabouts; commodities are expensive and the place of origin is unknown; news and rumors can only be believed. No one wants to admit their ignorance, and enshrine the emperor's new clothes on the misty gods as sacred objects. If you tell a lie too many times, it becomes the truth.
Putting aside these lofty theories, Pacino is really cute, with the same action and tone as Simone, with big eyes flashing, and a kind of focus for children to play role-playing; in order to arrange Simone to appear on the scene, the hands and feet of the scene are at a loss. For the skin child who was afraid of being scolded by his mother after knocking over the milk, he concealed his face and showed the triumphant smile of the success of the scam. As for the subsequent scene of forging Simone lip prints and applying lipstick, it is basically the only way for every child to grow up in advance. There was a hint of embarrassment when he was broken, and he smiled more than knowingly, and laughed every time I watched it.
However, in the second half of the film, the style of the whole film changed drastically. There was an abrupt change of the screenwriter. Even when the little girl said "virtual characters are not your fault, as long as you don't lie", I feel an unprecedented contradiction. I don't know. What the creators really want to express is still nearing the end, so exhausted to round out the story, so that the good opening is destroyed by the hard ending. If you only look at the first part, this is a five-star movie. It ends with the entanglement of the male protagonist, leaving a mystery that anyone can guess; plus the latter part, the seemingly complete ending, the level drops drastically.
Therefore, I still pull back Al Pacino's lipstick, the color really suits him, the pink old man, vicissitudes and childishness coexist, and the charm is infinite.
