171 international stage
Any movie will face criticism, because no work can be perfect, and because it is one of the jobs of a film critic to persistently criticize and criticize; not to mention, thriller and horror movies are inherently more susceptible to criticism. Shock, this is determined by the characteristics of genre movies. "Buried Alive" is naturally no exception..
Amid much praise, Lisa-Schwazbaum of Entertainment Weekly was steadfast in expressing her rejection, even disgust, of the film, saying, "The movie is undeniably stupid, and The interpretation of the narcissistic and political perspective is monotonous and rigid, and it is still stupid, and even has an impact on the visual effects and viewing pleasure of the movie itself. Hall's performance is the only highlight of the entire movie..”
Lisa’s point of view can be said to be brand new. The film’s connection and criticism of reality, as the core idea, has been unanimously praised by most film critics. Everyone believes that this has greatly supplemented the depth and thickness of the work; however, Lisa, on the contrary, felt that this had become a burden.
In the detailed film review in "Entertainment Weekly", Lisa criticized this verbally and rightly believed that Rodrigo, as a Spaniard, not only lacks understanding of American society, but also lacks sensitivity to political developments. The blunt and superficial interpretation seriously affects the quality of the entire movie. Hidden behind this film review, you may be able to get a glimpse of Lisa's political stance.
This is a myth people have about the media. In the impression, the media always seems to maintain a neutral and objective position, respect the facts, protect the facts, and reveal the facts. But in fact, every reporter, editor, and column writer , they all have their own cultural, religious, economic, and social backgrounds. When reporting the same thing, their perspectives and opinions will inevitably deviate. This is inevitable, and the words and sentences they use will be different; not to mention, each Big media have their own political attributes. For example, in the United States, whether they are Democratic or Republican, Catholic, Christian, or other denominations, this will have an impact on the media’s news reporting..
Just like in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, even the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times had biased views during the reporting process, so that the elites firmly believed in Hillary Clinton before the election results came out. (Hiry-ton) was able to win, but the voters in the central region gave the elite a heavy blow. The same is true for Brexit. The London elite were completely dumbfounded when faced with the result..
This is the most direct manifestation of the bias in media reporting.
Obviously, Lisa cannot agree with the political views expressed in "Buried Alive", which also affects her perception of the entire movie..
However, Lisa is obviously not alone. There are two other film critics who hold similar views to her, and they have gone a step further, putting aside their political views and criticizing and criticizing the film itself. From "Rolling Stone" Peter-Travis’s words were even more intense, and it can be said that he was in full swing..
“If you're a fan of the torture - and I'm not sure if 'keen' is the right word - being buried alive in a coffin for a good hundred minutes, and worse still, the claustrophobia of being in a small space, and Cheap props that lack imagination completely destroy the film's innovation ability and the depth of the script. For such a mediocre and boring thriller, you are welcome to enter the cinema. Apart from that, the only thing that can help the audience spend this time is It was not Hall's handsome face that made this disaster, but Hall's outstanding performance..”
“Although "Rolling Stone" started out writing music reviews, it is still the most authoritative and popular professional music magazine in North America. However, it began to transform after entering the new century and gradually became a comprehensive magazine. Thanks to its broad mass base, they 's film reviews also have a large readership market.
Obviously, Pitt's aversion to "Buried Alive" is all-round, except for Renly. James-Benard, a film critic for the professional film magazine "The Village Voice" also expressed his agreement..
“The weak script leaves little room for action, and we're left to watch the actors trapped in place, screaming, frightened, crying, and then doing it all over again in what looks like a mean elementary school kid's Halloween trick. Hall gives it his all Even though he gave an actor-level performance, it still couldn't save the whole movie from being terrible. We've had enough of 'Saw' and pray that 'Buried Alive' won't be made into a series..”
Compared with James's harsh criticism, Lisa's comments look like accusations of love. It can be clearly felt that James is not interested in "Buried Alive" at all, and even Renly's performance cannot save him. exclusion.
Among the nine reviews in the official program, six were positive and three were negative. The debut of "Buried Alive" was a complete first hit, but what was even more commendable was the long period of applause after the premiere. From the tireless entanglement of reporters and audiences, to the high recognition in the official program, this film was suddenly pulled from a remote corner where it had been ignored and under the spotlight. Countless eyes were cast on it, and only then did people notice. There is such a work at this year's Toronto Film Festival.
More importantly, however, Renly's performance was unanimously praised by both praise and criticism, even reviews from Rolling Stone and The Village Voice, "Renly-Hall" This name began to appear frequently in the newspapers.
With almost no effort, people's memories were awakened - the newcomer who had just unexpectedly won the King of Stars at the Emmy Awards, the folk singer who had just made a splash on YouTube, and was undoubtedly the most popular online discussion in the past month. Artists, now, the previous craze has not completely subsided, people are still surprised by the breakthrough of "Cleopatra" on the Billboard, and now the Toronto Film Festival has ushered in good news. This is simply...a wave Next wave.
Who is Renly?？
The question seems endless, with people asking it after the Emmys, people asking it after "Ophelia," and now during the Toronto Film Festival. The focus around Renly is growing. The more there are, the more mysterious the aura becomes, and the discussion becomes more and more intense..
The first to react were undoubtedly the media colleagues..
The Toronto Film Festival is an international stage. Different from the independent works screened in North American art theaters, any work here will feel the attention from all over the world. Thousands of reporters from more than 400 media around the world are here. Stop. Any slightest movement may attract the eyes of the "wolves"..
Who has won the hearts of so many professional media? It has dominated the word-of-mouth feedback in the official program. It is currently only behind the highly praised "Blue Valentine" and has become a dark horse since the opening of the film festival. One of the most discussed works, broken glasses are scattered all over the floor.？
Who is it that has carved out a path in word-of-mouth and received indiscriminate praise as an unknown newcomer? Every time I find a detail, my surprise increases: there are still more than two months until the second birthday. At the age of eleven, the second work of his career as an actor and his first work on the big screen, a Spanish work with a mere investment of 3 million, defeated nearly a thousand competitors and got Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. Sri Lanka's favor？
Who robbed the highlight moment of "The City"? Who robbed Ben Affleck of his moment of glory? Under the majesty of last night's premiere, today's media reports swept away Thousands of Armies is almost predictable, but who would have thought that the headlines of major media outlets would be about "The Thief in the City" and Ben Affleck, but the hot topic would be about Renly Hall.？
Interestingly, the excitement of the European media is no less than that of North America. For the North American media, they are excited that the Toronto Film Festival has another dark horse, and this is an English-language work, which means it will be screened in North America, and even Could be an awards season dark horse — just as The Hollywood Reporter predicts.
For the European media, what they are excited about is that the capital of the film comes from Spain, the director and the filming team are Spanish, and the male protagonist Renly is British. This is a European film with pure blood. So, Rodri Who is G-Cortez? Who is Renly Hall?？
Andy Rogers' cell phone has been completely blasted. Since "Buried Alive" is an independent work and the producer is Rodrigo Cortez, the media can't find a publicist at all and can only contact him; otherwise Besides, Renly received the most attention. Their first reaction was to contact Renly’s agent..
In the next twenty-four hours, Andy's cell phone barely had a moment to rest. It kept ringing with interviews about "Buried Alive" and interviews about Renly..
Generally speaking, at top stages such as the three major European film festivals, a movie may be promoted by more than 150 media outlets, and the entire interview process will last four to five days, with almost no breaks. However, it is more difficult for independent films that have received less attention, and most of them will be less than fifty - such a number is already a dream for independent films..
But now, at least more than 90 media are booking interviews with "Buried Alive" and Renly, and this number is still rising. It can be clearly felt that as the reputation of "Buried Alive" gradually ferments, the media's Attention will also rise sharply.
This is undoubtedly the best thing for Renly. The starting points of other actors are mostly in the United States, but Renly's first step was to make a blockbuster debut on the international stage in Toronto. Such a shining debut instantly attracted people. The attention from all over the world is a dream.
In comparison, "The City" broke out for a while on the night of the premiere, and then seemed to slowly quiet down. The limelight was completely stolen by "Buried Alive", which really made Ben feel heartbroken; it was even more depressing. What's more, due to the craze on the Internet, the "thief in the city" was even "buried alive" and suppressed..
