2236 double impact
“I don't like it! No matter what you say, I don't like it! This movie already brings about strong physical discomfort. No matter how wonderful Renly's performance is, I don't like it! this is my position.”
“The problem is that this is the effect the director wants to achieve, to create physical discomfort. Your dislike of it just proves that the movie is a success..”
……
“The artistic concept conveyed by the movie is really too bloody and too extreme. Not only can you achieve artistic perfection by cutting off all connections, nor can you reach the pinnacle of art only by being ruthless. From a moral perspective, I cannot approve of this work. It The whole process challenges the audience's bottom line: moral bottom line and psychological bottom line. Such an artistic concept cannot be recognized by people. Moreover, the simple and crude visual impact is really too superficial, and I can't give it a good review..”
“But I think the context presented in the movie is very interesting: from the physical level to the spiritual level, is this also a way of appreciating art? It is like the visual effects created by colors, shapes, compositions, etc., which then impact the brain and form a unique self-understanding. From this level, let’s not say whether the artistic perfection discussed in the movie is really perfect, but the form of artistic expression But it's very interesting. I think Damien Chazelle has a promising future..”
“If analyzed from this perspective, I agree with your point of view. But Damien's expression is too straightforward. If Renly hadn't given an incredible performance, the impact and shock of the movie would have been only a thin layer. , the finished product quality of the entire movie is definitely not what it is now, at least two levels worse than 'Black Swan'.”
……
“Wonderful! Wonderful! It’s really wonderful! I thought 'Gravity' was already jaw-droppingly exciting, but I didn't expect that Renly could continue to break through himself. This is definitely the best of his career.！”
“Agree! I think the overall visual impact even exceeds that of 'Buried Alive', and the level of detail and complexity has surpassed that of 'Drunken Country Ballad'. This is definitely Renly's most difficult and complete performance so far. God, when he performed in Toronto before , I thought the film critics were making nonsense, but now it seems that Renly has once again broken through himself.”
……
The screening of the movie has ended, but the audience has not left. Almost all the Don Quixotes stayed at the entrance of the theater, standing on the open road, bathed in the starlight and moonlight, dancing and exchanging opinions with each other, and the discussion was late. The film has not subsided, and the excitement has not cooled down. Everyone actively participated in expressing their opinions. It was obviously just a screening, but it created a fiery effect like a film festival..
William and Graham are just two droplets in the vast ocean. Their love from the heart bursts out with incredible energy..
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
“God oh oh oh how was the movie? How is it?？”
“Ah ah ah, I heard that the young master is so handsome. What should I do? I'm going to faint now..”
“What? The young master plays the role of a scumbag? Oh, I’m so looking forward to it! Looking forward to it even more! Please master, please torture me, okay?？”
“Does it look good? Is the movie good? Is Young Master's performance really the best in his career?？”
“Is it particularly bloody? Did anyone faint? Did anyone vomit?？”
“My expectations are off the charts. I can't do it anymore. My heart is already overloaded..”
In addition to the heated discussion, there are many more Don Quixotes who have not been able to enter the theater to watch the movie for the first time. Amidst the audience's chattering exploration and discussion, the expectations have reached unprecedented heights. Those who are eager to watch the movie The expectant eyes made the scene even more lively.
Stay up all night, talk all night long, the lights are bright！
This is definitely a rare and magnificent sight - although it is often seen at film festivals, it is unheard of to appear because of the screening of an art film. Some people like it, hate it, admire it, reject it, and are excited and disdainful. ...All the emotions are beginning to boil; most importantly, the discussion triggered by "Breaking Drummer", about the plot, the characters, and artistic creation, has just begun. The stamina generated by this movie exceeds imagination, it seems. It's not that simple and crude, it really triggered a large-scale hot discussion and controversy..
The discussions between Don Quixotes and fanatical movie fans are just the tip of the iceberg. During the screening period, "Breaking Drummer" continued to be warmed up; the discussions among film critics officially announced the debut of the highlight of the awards season..
From Sundance to Venice to Toronto, one wave of reviews for "Breaking Drummer" has raised the audience's expectations step by step; but after all, the reviews at film festivals are just the first wave of frontline feedback, which is relatively limited. The real comments will still have to wait until the movie is officially released.：
Some films were highly praised at film festivals, but fell far short of expectations when they were officially released; some films were criticized at film festivals, but received a counterattack in word-of-mouth after their official release; of course, there are also some The movie's excellent reputation continues from the film festival to the full release.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, you still have to go out for a walk to know in the end. "Exploding Drummer" is certainly no exception..
Now it's time to walk the horse.
“Cold- blooded. Cruel. Violent. Real. Complex. Profound. This is definitely not another 'Black Swan'. 'Exploding Drummer' shows the other side of art in a fierce and primitive manner: bloody and naked. It's like breaking out of a cocoon. The process of a butterfly is normal, with blood dripping from the body to the spirit and a sense of tearing..”
“Power! color! Light! From the pictures to the characters, from the rhythm to the plot, Damien Chazelle has shown a rare directorial talent, truly perfectly integrating the drum beats with the entire movie. This is an annual masterpiece that is definitely not to be missed! The shocking ending is the best in the past five years！”
“Brilliant! Moving clouds and flowing water! It's natural! The best of the year so far！”
Even after experiencing the praise frenzy at Sundance, and even after returning from Venice and Toronto with accolades, "Crackling Drummer" has undoubtedly become the darling of film critics again. Praise and praise from professional film critics have come across the board. The expectations were average, which undoubtedly pushed this work into the first group during the awards season..
Among them, the comments from the independent film magazine "Village Voice" are the most representative.
“Gifted and talented! Damien Chazelle demonstrated his unique understanding of rhythm and melody through this work. Starting with drum beats and exiting with editing, he truly completely tied the breath of the protagonist and the audience together, creating a powerful physical level. After the impact, the reflection and precipitation on the spiritual level created unimaginable waves. The shock after the double impact gave the movie a rare viewing experience. This is a height that very few works can reach..
Bloody, brutal, rough, and cruel. When the audience feels strong discomfort during the movie, even vomiting and fainting, this is exactly the effect that Damien Chazelle hopes to achieve, that kind of punching. The sharp pain of flesh brings the audience into the world of drum beats in an unreasonable way, and then conveys the core of the movie. This is definitely a rare movie-watching experience in recent years - the benchmark work should not be 'Black Swan', It should be Darren Aronofsky's other work 'Requiem for a Dream'’.
The most important thing is that Renly Hall's superb acting skills create an enchanting effect, which has become the absolute core of bringing the whole movie to life, not only perfectly executing Damien Chazelle's The creative intention makes the impossible possible; it also gives the characters more interpretation possibilities - but this deviation has also become the reason why the completeness of the entire work is slightly inaccurate. This is the only imperfection among perfections..”
Clear, straightforward, and in-depth, the "Village Voice" reviews convey their attitudes and opinions to the audience in the most concise way: why this is a great work.
The reason why the "Village Voice" comments are the most representative is because they accurately analyzed the movie itself, and also highlighted the core reason for the success of the entire movie: Damien Chazelle and Renly - Hall, the perfect collaboration between director and actors resulted in a masterpiece.
As the center of attention, Renly is undoubtedly the core of all comments..
“Delicate and vivid, concise and profound, graceful and wonderful. Watching Renly Hall's performance is like watching a grand ballet performance. It is a complete enjoyment. The trembling from the soul is explaining the beauty and pride of art. As an audience, can you ask for more?？”
“From lines to movements to expressions, Renly Hall's performance seems effortless, but it gives Andrew a vivid and real soul. The effortless and invisible performance affects the audience's mood at every moment, and he shapes the character of Andrew. A cold-blooded devil, the intention is to make the audience hate this character; but when the climax of the last scene comes, all the negative emotions turn into shock and amazement. The depth and complexity of that look are absolutely a stroke of genius. He has done it again！”
“Any words of praise become ordinary in front of his performance. For most of the movie, he hides himself among the drumbeats. His shoulders are restrained, his chin is lowered, and his eyes are shining. It seems that his whole person They are all hiding in the darkness, but even so, the mark he left cannot be erased. Even the fingertips can feel the power of performance. When the mask fades and the transformation is truly completed, the tension of art is so overwhelming. The Jedi is cathartic, and he truly interprets the perfection of art. Renly Hall, the soul of the entire movie.”
“Every time he appears in the camera, eyes can't help but focus on him. It's hard to imagine that even after being active on the big screen for so long, he can still show that freshness, vividness, originality, and ferocity The performance is like a rough stone without any polishing and processing. The head was bruised and bloody during the rampage. While the bloody atmosphere surged, it also conveyed the complexity of the soul. What else could Renly Hall do? Not available? I don't think so.”
