Vol 2 Chapter 227: Confused

Chapter 227 Chaos
"This is the first time that Miracle Director has involved a thriller, suspense, or crime type movie. Frankly, no one understands what he wants to express in the movie, but there are suspense and connection everywhere, and Adrian not only regained it I have lost what I have lost, and I continue to deepen it. It is disturbing and I want to continue to pursue it. "-Figaro
"This is a film that needs to give up on itself. It consists of countless fragments. Adrian wants to win another golden palm for himself with the multi-line narrative method that once made him magnificent, but it seems that it has not been used for too long. , Finally overplayed, and then presented such a boring work. " The Guardian
"I can't believe it. This movie is full of low-energy and broken junk fragments. Want to find logic in it? Sorry, you've gone wrong. The director ’s light seems to fade away."-New York The times
As the most watched work of this year's Cannes Film Festival, "Mulholland Road" immediately ushered in a lot of comments, and many people were surprised that most of these comments were not good, and film critics from various countries seemed to be engaged. Yes, in unison, the logical lack of this film is a considerable failure. Even if there are many people-mostly French and Italian-they think it's not bad. The composition of the lens, the use of color, the creation of the atmosphere and the divided short stories, as well as the performance of the two actresses are quite good. But when it comes to the logic of the film, this fact cannot be avoided.
"This is a weird thing. As a well-known miracle director, Adrian can't direct such a meaningless movie, so why can't he make the expression he wants to say clear?" A film review People asked questions, which is also the question of many people who watched the premiere. Although the applause after the premiere was still enthusiastic, they did not eliminate their doubts, and Adrian's subsequent plausible answer made this doubt. More.
However, many people are secretly gloating, this is exactly the picture they want to see, they have been waiting too long for this moment. So in the next two days, the comments on "Mulholland Road" became even more violent. Texts such as "The Miracle Director has run out" and "This is a bad Waterloo" continued to appear in the newspaper, which has won the support of many Miracle Directors. I ’m very dissatisfied, but they do n’t know how to refute. Although Adrian has made movies on various subjects, the style of
Muhland Road
is very different from his previous works. The only thing that has similarities is Only that "eyes wide open", but that is Kubrick's work.
Adrian had no response to this situation. The reporters stood outside the hotel for two days, whether it was Nicole or Naomi. They had met several times, but they could n’t catch the director of Miracle. Figure. While they are depressed, they are secretly ecstatic. Almost most of them think that the director of Miracles can't accept this fact, so if they don't come out in the room, they will naturally play freely.
However, this situation did not last long, because Roger Albert's film review soon came out.
"This is an amazing piece of work, for which I had to spend a few days to taste it and take the time to watch it again in the theater. No doubt Adrian is a tricky director, whenever you I thought that if he was familiar with his style of acting, he would release works that you did not expect, and always maintained extraordinary vitality and significance, especially those low-cost movies, yes, "Muhran Road" Such a movie.
Many people think that the biggest failure of Muhran Road is that there is an illogical story, but I think this is the most interesting part of the whole movie. Even the most demanding people will not deny it. The clearly divided upper and lower parts have a clear connection. For the simplest example, the actress from Canada in the first half is called Betty, and in the later it is called Dai. Ann, and the former amnesiac woman is called Rita-this is obviously from Rita Hayworth-and the latter is called Betty, it is obvious that the two have an inseparable close relationship, which is also proved in the movie. So what's the connection with the name Diane? It's simple. In the first half, the waitress in the cafe is called Diane, and in the second half, the waitress's name becomes Betty. (Note)
Very interesting, right? If you look closely, you will find that the characters who appeared in the first half also appeared in the second half, but their image has changed a lot. What is the connection in this, you need to look for it yourself. Think about it, when you are in a mess, because of a thread, you find out the whole clue, how pleasant that feeling will be
This is a type of film, and its significance is not to tell a story, but to let the audience find their own story. As Adrian said after the premiere, this film has no standard answer. A thousand people have a thousand Hamlet. "Muhland Road" gives enough clues for the audience to look for. It's wonderful. I don't lose to any of Adrian's previous works. I think I will watch it again sometimes. As for what I see Story, sorry, that's my thing.
It is also worth mentioning that the acting skills of the two actresses also added a lot of color to this film. Nicole Kidman interpreted the confusion, fear and confusion in the front, and the and charming in the back. It should be her best role in years. And Naomi Watts is even better. In addition to the innocence and self-confidence that started out as a newcomer and the struggle in despair because of losing her lover, there is also a play-in-theatrical audition. She was very well grasped by her, convincing, and can almost be regarded as the different fate of Hollywood actresses at different stages. It is very exciting. I want to give her a thumbs up. "
Roger Albert
The release of this review immediately changed the direction of the critics. Albert was a top critic in Hollywood. Even Europeans who think highly of themselves can't sting too much when talking about his reviews. Of thorns. Now that he has said so, there must be some merit in "Mahran Road", so what is so exciting about this movie?
After the premiere, the number of people who began to reduce the number of people who played the movie "Mahran Road" suddenly ushered in the second wave of peaks. Some came here curiously and admiredly, some wanted to watch again, and some wanted Prove that you are smarter than Roger Albert and wait, then the new movie reviews are released.
In fact, it cannot be said that it is a new film review, because many reviews are published by critics who have not spoken since the premiere. These are true reputable critics who would rather watch as many times as Albert and not casually come to conclusions. Of course, there is another reason, this is the work of Director Miracle.
From the beginning to the present, every time someone dislikes him and then makes a mockery, Adrian will use the facts to hit the faces of these people, once or twice or even three times or four times. Persevere in contempt, that is not personality, it is brain damage and masochism.
Film critics write reviews for readers, not for directors or producers. If a reader stands on the film critic's side and is beaten every time, no one wants to talk to them unless they are also mentally disabled and masochistic. stand together. So if there is no special reason, such as a festival with Adrian or a special mission, these well-known film critics will be very cautious.
"This is indeed a weird movie, especially in the latter half. The desperate story of the desperate actress is enough to sting our nerves, and it will continue to sting."-Los Angeles Times
"In terms of performance alone, Naomi's role is probably one of the most difficult roles this year." The Times
"The ridiculous and illogical story contains a cruel theme, showing the other side of Hollywood in a deeper level, which is also one of the hard work of the director of Miracle."-"Liberation News"
After all, "Mahran Road" is a film full of logic. Without a hint, Albert also said it was unclear, and it was difficult to spell it out for a while. However, this does not mean that the film review cannot be written, the overall plot is not easy to grasp, and the performance of the actor can be. Moreover, the two stories before and after are basically complete, and it is very easy to find something that can be said to be stingy.
Not only is the critics busy because of this, but ordinary people are also talking about movies a lot. In the media's official website's sub-site on movies, there are also many fans who specifically come to Cannes for sightseeing in the forum. But it wasn't them who were busiest, but David Lynch who was drawn in because of Adrian's word.
For David Lynch, this should be the worst month of his life. Last year, Lost on the Highway suffered an unprecedented fiasco. He had no plans this year, and stayed at home. go with. But as soon as he woke up, reporters piled up outside his house. As soon as the door was opened, they held the camera for a while and then took the microphone and voice recorder in front of themselves and asked him and director Marvel. Drian's relationship.
God testifies, although he is also a well-known director in Hollywood, but because the director's style is too weird, although he has a famous cult TV series such as "Town", the audience is always small, except for various film festivals, he has never been so solemn in private It ’s a of a treat.
"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. Mr. Adrian Cowell and I don't meet." Faced with the bombardment of reporters, Lynch could only say this sentence repeatedly, but How can journalists believe that it is important to know that Adrian himself admitted that this is not his own work, this is "the work of David Lynch".
Lynch had no choice but to return to his home, and it was such a ruined day. I ca n’t get out of the house in the next few days, but he finally figured out why. Although he did n’t know how the miracle director who had no contact with himself said such a word, he quickly notified his family, friends and agents. , And issued a statement through the agent, he did not provide any help for Mr. Adrian's work, and he did not have any intersection with Mr. Adrian. As to why Mr. Adrian said so, please ask him to compare Well, of course, he respects young directors such as Mr. Adrian, and also hopes that there are opportunities for cooperation and other scenes.
After Lynch made such a determined statement, the reporters became confused again. In fact, since there is no relationship between the two, why did Adrian say such a thing? When they were puzzled, after Albert's film review was released, another weighty film review was published on the Los Angeles Times. The article was published only by a small, well-known critic, but the content made people It can't be ignored, because his title is: Just a dream.
"I don't know how many people noticed this detail. When the two stories before and after were split, that is, when Rita opened the blue box, after the smoky, Betty or Diane was lying in bed and threatened director Adam. The cowboy opened the door and walked in. At this moment, the camera was switched. It was n’t Betty or Diane who was lying on the bed, but the rotten female corpse. Then the cowboy smiled, turned around and went out. It's still Betty or Diane lying on the bed, and the second story begins.
It should be noted that the posture of Betty or Diane lying on the bed is exactly the same as that of the rotten female corpse, and when she shot and killed herself, the posture of lying on the bed is still the same as that of the rotten female corpse. From the details shown in the second story, we can be sure that Diane loves Betty, but although Betty has feelings for her, she is not as strong as her. So when Betty announced that she would marry director Adam, she became hated by love. Diane found the killer and asked him to kill Betty, but when she found out that Betty was really dead-the blue box-the torture of conscience made her die, and eventually committed suicide. "
The entire article analyzes the relationship between Betty / Dean and Rita / Betty in detail, and then puts the characters behind in a one-to-one relationship with the characters in front. For example, the director in the back has power, so in the dream in front, Not only was he threatened by the underworld, his wife also went to bed with the painter, and eventually broke down and had to give in. Or the change in the relationship between Betty, Diane, and Rita, as well as the beautification of Betty in Dian's heart, and the different atmospheres of the two performances during the lines and auditions with Rita, etc., I have to say This guy is very attentive.
This report quickly caused a warm response. Both ordinary audiences and film critics of all sizes began to discuss. Many people supported and many people opposed. The most important point of the opponents is that Since it was a dream, and since it was a dream to wake up and commit suicide, why did you dream about the rotting female corpse?
It is natural for supporters to maintain the saying of "dreaming". After all, it is difficult to have a logical explanation, so various reasons have been raised. For example, since it is dreaming, it is normal to have illogical places. I want to use this method to guide everyone's thinking. As for whether it ’s normal to look for logic and say something illogical, it ’s not something they should consider.
In short, the heated debate has begun again. In less than a week, the popularity of "Mulholland Road" in Cannes has increased, and it has become the most popular film at the film festival. Come here to participate People at the film festival are embarrassed to chat with others if they don't go to the theater to watch the last one.
Then, soon after the movie fans poured fuel on the Internet, they posted a post on the Internet, "The miracle director is paying tribute to David Lynch."
"Anyone who has seen all of David Lynch's works will find that Adrian's new work has a number of typical 'Linchi-style' vocabulary and scenes: squeaking electric lights, Nervous narrators, mysterious people with ugly faces, singers who have fallen on the stage but still sing loudly, as well as plots that imitate noir movies: women with amnesia, tall white men wearing trench coat sunglasses, etc. Wait a minute. The reason why Adrian claimed after the premiere that this is actually a work by David Lynch is because it is a tribute work "
This is a short paragraph from that fan's post, and the following is a detailed analysis of the similarities between Mulholland Road and those of Lynch. The reason for this is because the writer was an Adrian fan. He is a fan of niche movies. Lynch ’s weird movies are with him, and he likes to go to the European Film Festival. run.
At first it was because of "Two Great Smoke Guns" and "Vulgar Fiction" that he fell in love with Adrian ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and left after he started directing mainstream movies. This time I came to Cannes to hear about him There was another new entry, and I took time to watch it. Such people would naturally like this movie very much, and immediately began to speculate on the plot immediately, and later saw in the newspaper what Adrian said after the premiere, and immediately began to compare, so With that post.
Of course, there are also many people who rebuked, especially those of Adrian's diehard fans, who think that this analysis is unreasonable and is far-fetched, and the director of miracles does not need to pay tribute. However, there are also some supporters of this movie fan, just like the newspaper about how to interpret "Muhland Road", it was also a quarrel, and was finally reproduced in the newspaper by the guy with a keen sense of smell.
It is conceivable that such news will be published and how many people will break the glasses. David Lynch's weird style works are still very artistic in the eyes of Europeans, so he receives more attention here than Hollywood is too big, and some people are naturally familiar with his style. Immediately after this post was reprinted, someone came out and said that it was indeed very similar.
"It's incredible, but" Murland Road "does have a very obvious 'Linch style' style," said one of the more famous French film critics.
The news surrounding the movie was even more chaotic. . ..
