    Translation|Critical Distance - Jonathan Rosenbaum on "Contempt"

    This article originally appeared in The Chicago Reader on September 5, 1997, and was included in Essential Cinema

    Written by Jonathan Rosenbaum Translated by Lighting Plastics

    Almost exactly 33 years ago, in October 1964, Jean-Luc Godard released the most widely distributed work of his film career in the United States, and his most expensive film to date, to which the critical reaction was overwhelmingly negative. But...

    Those who disagree are the remedy, or at least the antidote

    Interestingly, contrary to the Old Testament, outside the walls are the reflections of the Old Testament gods (Yahwehs). Contrary to babel, they are mirror images of each other.

    Regardless of special effects, stories, logic, teen idols, etc., this film raises the real (philosophical) question in a social or cultural system: Divergents (such as real thinkers, artists or philosophers), although often let the old world (such as In the...

    Forget after watching series

    "Life and Death Speed" personal viewing essays, I think it is too ridiculous for non-serious film reviews. Before watching this movie, I had a fantasy about how to drive on the road at a fast average speed. Once I turned on the car from Beijing. Home, more than 1,000 kilometers, before the departure, the boss told us that it’s good if you can drive at an average speed of 70 or 80 along the way. I thought how could it be possible at the time. Motorcycles can be up to 100 yards casually, and...

    See humanity from a group of zombies with wonderful bones

    I have been screened by the autumn TV dramas, and I haven't told you about the movie for a long time. It just so happens that there is a Japanese movie that is very popular recently. Yes, you should have guessed it, it is "Please call me a hero", also known as "Fuji Mountain Walk".

    This movie is adapted from the comic of the same name by Kengo Hanazawa, and it is still being serialized. It is easy to make people think whether there is a second or third movie in this movie.

    Fascination

    It was just a momentary dazzle, I know,
    it may be over from the beginning,
    maybe it's just a glimpse of the empty soul I experienced.

    It was just a momentary dazzle, I know.
    I looked at your figure in the moonlight,
    and then, I touched your hand, the next moment, I kissed you, and
    dazzle turned into love.

    Although professional film critics did not appraise the film very highly, and had a lot of criticisms about the huge age difference of the actors...

    Rain of bullets

    Malcolm, the "bad guy", laid the foundation for his screen image. Lindsay Anderson's political stance as a liberal director has been unrestrainedly presented in this film. And the subsequent "Lucky Guy" added elements of humor and playful abuse, using strength in revealing and satirizing the times. Malcolm in this film is angry, confused, rebellious, rational and crazy, so he finally took up the gun to destroy everything. Malcolm in "Lucky Guys" is clear, submissive, gentle, superior and...

    Tarzan

    Sometimes people like to be nostalgic. Just like when I was looking through my childhood items a few days ago, I found a notebook from elementary school. There were a few pages in it that were normal synonyms, and then it became the digestive system of a science class. It is a variety of horizontal version clearance rpgs drawn by myself. There are a few pages pasted at the end, and there are naturally Pooh’s pastings inside.

    Another story of Cinderella and Prince

    It’s really been a long time recently that I didn’t have a movie that made me forget to go in and watch her. For us now, the rhythm of a black-and-white movie is really a bit slow, but it’s not a good feeling. ? I always feel that the ending is a bit sudden. What I imagined is that the actor didn’t chase her right away, but he couldn’t help thinking about her and finally decided to put it down. The car met his own girl SABRINA This is the best ending, isn’t it? I haven’t seen the remake later...

    Hanging Shaw's sheepskin to sell American dog meat panty trousers thread

    This is a mix of dishes. The title is Shaw Brothers, Quentin is in the front, American in the middle, and the more Hollywood goes in the back.

    The scene is very Chinese, the age is very chaotic, the grandfather is very clever (who is so handsome!), the beauty is very third-line, and sister Ling died too fast. The language is very diverse, the soundtrack is hip-hop, the food is very transcendent, and the hairstyle kills Matt. This is a black dream of red fruit on a Chinese stage! The...

    After watching

    I haven't read Hardy's novel, but I have seen Polanski's "Tess" and this film in the adaptation of the movie. The general feeling is that Hardy's characters are not very popular, whether they are male or female, and they have no brains to do things, and they have achieved many dumbfounding plots. The background is generally in the countryside, and the heroine is a beautiful country girl who has never seen anything in the world. She has a so-called autonomy, in fact she is a bitch. However,...

    The afternoon sun covered the brick-red wall.

           It was after seeing the movie "Brooklyn" that I realized that this movie is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by the Irish writer Colm Tobin. It is no longer a novelty to remake the novel into a movie, but it is often such a movie. More vulnerable to criticism. "Film is not as fascinating as a novel" and "destroy the original" have become the most direct evaluation of the film. The reason is that some readers who have read the novel will be picky about the...

    It is not love but atonement that sensationalizes

    I think it is necessary to rewrite this film review.

         I wrote and understood it as soon as I finished reading it. It is not in vain. I have been looking forward to this film for so long. This is a very outstanding work. The director of JOE WIGHT is very smart and started. The first 90 minutes seemed a bit aimless. I don’t know what the movie is going to say. It was not until the end that I caught the director’s trap, and then I discovered the superbness of this...

    Unhappiness after revisiting the movies I liked when I was 15 years old

          In the prequel 3, Ana Phnom used a lamp to chop people and burst into tears, as if all the grievances of the world were on his back. It is right to help the Sith to destroy the extinction because of doubts about the concept of the Jedi. It is right to take refuge in the Sith, because wanting to gain the power of the Force to save Padmé from facing the same fate as her mother. It was even right to want to cut Obi-Wan in the end, because Obi-Wan blocked his way to fight for a...

    007 is dead! ! ! !

            To be honest, before watching this 007, I thought it would not be a good movie!
            Since the 007 series lost the support of the original author Ian Lancaster's novels, it has gradually become a vulgar film with only scenes. From "Casino Royale" (which is somewhat supported by the original work) to the latest "Death by Sky" about these movies, regardless of the box office around the world? Regardless of other people's comments? In my eyes, one by one has been bad. A...

    Again, I said, this is another movie with a misleading name. Hey, every time this kind of war is the background of the movie, it always makes people feel heavy and silent after watching it, and the children are more happy than us. Eh.

  • Dovie 2023-09-11 20:16:45

    A very unique perspective to explore the origin and end of life. The narrative method is too self-indulgent, and people have to have the urge to avoid it. But the photography of the whole film is quite good, and it can even be said that the picture supports the whole rhythm.

  • Dovie 2023-09-02 08:19:38

    Read the old version and wait for the new version.

  • Dovie 2023-08-18 19:26:53

    The actor who plays the lead is so beautiful, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flowers are popular for a hundred days, the fate of mankind. I always feel that the heroine looks like a girl with pearl earrings, and the underworld saiqi always reminds me of Qin Wuye hahaha.

    Perhaps because the investment producer has a relationship with South Korea, one of the two major failures of this film is the character setting. A story with a purely Western background, there are actually many Asian faces appearing on the scene, and the English pronunciation mixed with accents, what do you think? It makes people feel awkward; secondly, there are many logical loopholes in the plot, which are played for the sake of the story. The above rant is over.

    It's ok in all aspects, but it's a bit long... Looking forward to this year's movie "Bombshell" with the same theme.

    The movie is not bad, I am watching the actors, there is a little somber and perverted youthful inspirational little freshness.

  • Dovie 2023-07-17 15:04:24

    Such a difficult subject, the quality of the shot requires not only skill but also imagination! "Rhapsody in Blue" is particularly good (I'm still hanging on the novel), Mickey has a sense of time (that's natural...)

    This is a film entirely derived from musicals, and many of its expressions are just a camera in front of the actors, Li Qi. I think to understand such a classic, one must first understand dance.

    The eighth part of the EU Film Festival / Too cute, although it is a satire of the political system at that time, maybe the lack of understanding of the relevant knowledge makes me unable to fully understand what the film wants to express, but aside from the irony, the ridiculousness shown in the film is ridiculous. The black humor really makes me laugh. A dance saw all beings, a lecherous old man in a beauty pageant, a raffle prize was stolen, a fire extinguished the fire to keep the old man close to a burning house to keep warm, a lottery raised money for charity, and finally lay helpless on an open-air cot to sleep in the snow, Ridiculous and somewhat helpless. The plot may look a little dry in terms of its sense of humor and irony, but the group drama is really brilliant!

    In fact, the object of love is not the specific person, but the various fantasies attached to this object. Therefore, there is a distance to have the so-called love. Once it is close, it will be inexplicably disillusioned. Chie’s portrayal of the heroine also proves this point: the closer the two are, the more mysterious the heroine’s beauty diminishes. In the final mirror, with the help of reconstructing the gaze scene where love is born, Chie successfully used hallucinations to soothe the disillusioned audience [9↑]
