1500 movie charm
After watching "Gravity", the first thing that came to Michael's mind was still Roger..
Different from "The Ballad of Drunken Country", this time it is not because of the theme and core of the movie, but because of the charm that Alfonso gives to the movie, the kind of charm that only belongs to the movie screen..
Michael can be sure that Roger will definitely give this movie a standing ovation. Those lights and shadows, those compositions, those performances, those philosophies, those immersive textures... all of them are interpreting the uniqueness of the movie. charm.
Maybe "Gravity" is not perfect, but the unique charm it presents is dazzling, even more moving and beautiful than "Hugo", because Martin Scorsese tells a story about cinephilia story, and Alfonso Cuaron brings all the reasons for cinephilia to the big screen.
Every true movie fan should enter the cinema and enjoy the ninety-one minutes of the world of light and shadow. Even if he does not like this type of movie or this movie at all, the enjoyment of watching movies is irreplaceable, even Beyond "Avatar", it truly pushes the visual art and sensory art of film to the extreme..
Not to mention, the amazing Renly.
Just thinking about Roger Ebert's expression after watching "Gravity", Michael couldn't help but want to join in the applause, venting his inner excitement and excitement.
In fact, at the Cannes Film Festival, Michael had already given him the highest praise, "The best performance of his career"！”
That is definitely not just a casual comment. Michael is not a film critic who likes to give out "best" praises if he likes to move, but if he truly thinks so, he will not be stingy with his praise. In "The Ballad of Drunken Country" , Renly gave LeVeon Davis a thrilling soul. Even now, Michael can still clearly recall LeVeon’s lonely and lonely eyes..
Objectively speaking, Michael still prefers Renly's performance in "The Ballad of the Drunken Country", which is more restrained and more delicate. From his eyes to his lines, the quality of Renly's performance is fully demonstrated; but Michael must also admit that "In the Center of the Earth" The performance in "Gravity" is more difficult and profound. Those inadvertent small details give the characters more connotations worth exploring, echoing the movie, and then sublimating the theme..
Purely in terms of difficulty and completion, the performance of "Gravity" is even better.！
After watching the movie, Michael thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to write.
“This year at Cannes, I said that the Coen Brothers cast Renly for LeVeon Davis, and that was a perfect choice; now in Venice, I'll say it again, Alfonso Cuaron cast Renly It was also the perfect choice to play Ryan Stone.
There are countless top actors in Hollywood today. Those excellent actors must be able to give different charms to the role of Ryan Stone, but none of them are Renly Hall..
In Renly's performance, his eyes are undoubtedly delicate and complex. The vicissitudes of life and stormy waves are all filled in those light brown pupils. Renly has no doubt about the character's understanding of the plot and life. It's profound and clever. One of the most impressive scenes in the movie - it's impossible to pick, but Renly shows the meaning of disillusionment and birth in two different scenes..
From hope to despair, and then from despair to rebirth, all the weight falls on one look. It seems simple, but it is powerful; it seems ordinary, but it is full of vicissitudes. Hidden behind that skin is Ryan - Stone carries all the meaning of life.
Yes, this is the shell of a popcorn movie. The simple story can even be summarized in one sentence. Even the beginning, transition and ending are completely within the framework of a commercial movie; but it is full of the connotation of a philosophical and artistic movie. All complex and profound thoughts fall into Renly's performance, and all those thoughts about the birth of life and existentialism are carried in it..
Even after reflecting on it, Renly Hall's performance still has a soul-baptizing energy.！
Is this the best performance of Renly's career? I don’t want to make another assertion, but leave it to the audience’s comments and feedback; but this is undoubtedly the most breakthrough challenge in Renly’s career, and he has once again proved his talent and ability. EGOT may be too crazy or too fast. , however, no one can deny his excellence, which makes people jealous to the point of being crazy..
Thank God, He-Is-Alive）.”
After much hesitation, Michael once again gave Renly unparalleled praise, and the last sentence even used a pun, which on the one hand hinted at Ryan Stone's final survival, and on the other hand, hinted at Renly's -Hall is the best actor of our time.
Overall, Michael's reaction seems not as crazy as that in Cannes, but after reading carefully, you can notice in the sharp lines that Michael's love and appreciation for Renly has risen to a whole new level. Perhaps his personal favorite is still "Drunk Country Ballad", but now Renly is indeed the best actor of our time! The classic "Gravity" remains undeniable！
It is no exaggeration to say that from a comprehensive perspective, "Gravity" is Renly's most outstanding work so far, and it can even reach the height of a classic recorded in history..
After writing the review, Michael couldn't help but think of Roger again. He could imagine what Roger would choose and how he would evaluate it..
“I love his performance, but I'm not crazy about it. Why does Hollywood always like that kind of extravagant performance nowadays? 'Gravity' has created more ups and downs in the plot, giving the performance room to release and deepen. Does this mean it is better? Only those who truly understand and love movies can understand how outstanding Renly's performance in "The Ballad of Drunkenness" was..
But...I can't deny that Renly's performance in "Gravity" is still enviable, and age seems to be no obstacle to him at all. I can't believe what I missed, missed "The Ballad of Drunken Country" ', missed 'Gravity' again, God, I'm really starting to miss those years on Earth now.”
At one time, Michael and Roger had already looked forward to Renly's career. They were both worried that the light of EGOT would gradually make Renly lose himself. It was still March, so Roger sincerely hoped that Renly would not complete EGOT. feat, because he sincerely expects the young actor to create more brilliance.
But now, with EGOT in his pocket, Renly is still moving forward steadily step by step. Roger should be pleased, but also regretful. After all, his heart that loves movies cannot continue to beat..
The night in the water city of Venice was filled with the cold and bright moonlight, but Michael's thoughts began to tumble. He couldn't help but start thinking: What would happen if Renly won two Oscars this year?？
He knew that such an idea was too ridiculous. Not to mention that Renly would just turn twenty-four in two months. Just saying that he had just climbed to the top of the mountain for the first time the year before last and achieved the EGOT feat within three years, this was already enough. Renly has reached the pinnacle of Hollywood. It is definitely too hasty and too eager to hit the second seal now..
Even Michael himself doesn't want this. He is more willing to choose other actors - not because Renly is too young, but because he hopes that the performances of other actors can be richer and better. Over and over again, he only sees one face. Not a good thing for the entire film industry.
But Michael couldn't help but couldn't help but picture that picture in his mind, as well as Roger's complaints. Unconsciously, the night became darker and darker, and the sound of gentle waves and the cold moonlight filled the air with the aroma of coffee. It's still a sleepless night. I'm so excited about the movie that I can't sleep..
Maybe he should pour a glass of whiskey.
After writing the entire film review, Michael gave it a perfect score of 100 without hesitation.
Although in the official program of the Venice Film Festival, the four-star perfect score system is the same as that in Berlin and Cannes; but because "Gravity" did not participate in the main competition unit, film critics still completed their scoring and comments according to the usual 100-point system..
Don’t think that perfect score reviews are everywhere. In fact, this is Michael’s third personal perfect score so far this year. The first one was “Adele’s Life”, the second one was “Drunk Country Ballads”, and now It’s just the third one. Scarcity means caution, professionalism, and preciousness..
A clear expression of Michael's personal admiration and love for "Gravity".
“This film review by "The Hollywood Reporter", because it contained no spoilers and was profound enough, was widely publicized and disseminated in North America and received countless praise and feedback..
Later, the editor-in-chief of the magazine applied for the Pulitzer Prize for Michael and packaged and sent fifteen articles including this film review. Although he did not win the award in the end, it still became one of Michael's most senior film critics. An important opportunity for China to reach a higher level.
Film critics’ feelings and dreams are also the source of their passion.
Returning to the premiere of "Gravity" in Venice, "The Hollywood Reporter" is just the beginning. With the debut of the first media review, all other film reviews have begun to be announced one after another, although There was no organization and summary from the official program, but despite the high expectations, the audience still actively looked for relevant information and gradually pieced together the whole story.——
The main competition unit of the 70th Venice Film Festival has not officially debuted yet, but "Gravity" as the opening film has already set off a frenzy of praise from media critics. Full marks! Full marks! Still full marks! It is rare to see that this opening work with commercial attributes has received perfect scores.！
A full fifteen points, allowing people to truly feel the raging heat wave in Venice.
