Vol 2 Chapter 355: Film reviews

Lu Hua’s life is back on track, and once again becomes idle, but because of him in the UK, a movie has been passed down by word of mouth in a short period of three days. ...
Due to the gradual loss of Kleefler Pictures, 50,000 films have been regarded as the largest order in recent years, but these 50,000 discs can only be regarded as a small order in the eyes of the CD reproduction company, so it is normal. Placed this batch of orders to the end of other orders.
The inability to keep up with production capacity, coupled with a large number of outsourcing purchases from the latter half of the night, has caused only a small number of native British people to buy the CD of "Effect".
But after watching this small group of people, they erupted a super high response on the Internet, which attracted the attention of many film lovers. This has a lot to do with Mickey. After all, he was a well-known director in Europe who knew a little Few people who order movies have never heard of his name.
Driven by curiosity, people went to the video store, and of course they left empty-handed. At this time, they did not know that the person who bought a large number of CDs was not a British person, but a fan of someone in China.
They thought it was those netizens who heard the wind sooner than them, and they bought the CD one step faster, which made them even more eager to understand the content of the movie.
As a result, in this situation where demand exceeds supply, the scalpers are naturally bred. These scalpers are not other people. They are the purchasing agents who intend to send the CDs to China, but temporarily repent and lie that they did not grab the CDs.
The original price of the Blu-ray disc of 23.9 pounds has now been fetched to 50 pounds, but even so, there are still a large number of movie lovers gritted their teeth, stomped their feet, paid for the goods and left, and happily ran home. Peng Huanyou is ready to watch the movie.
Buying double happiness at double the price, these people who can buy the CD at the original price in two days, but have to increase the price, feel that it is worth it.
Of course, this happiness starts with getting the CD in one step, and ends with the beginning of the movie. In fact, it didn't last long.
...
The room was quiet and terrible. The six people sitting on the sofa looked at the letters slowly flowing upwards on the TV with some solemn expressions. Until the whole movie was finished, these talents took a deep breath at the same time, and even more. Stop rubbing his chest, as if drowning just now.
"Wow... It's... really sharp."
The white man with gold-wire glasses was a little speechless. He couldn't think of any better words to describe this silent film. In the end, he could only use the word sharp to describe the content of the film. Others are basically equivalent to dumb. , Just to cooperate with the man's words, nodding constantly.
"It's getting late, I should go home Raul, you guys continue to play, I will go now."
"Then I'll go, I should pick up the kids from school, goodbye Raul."
"Then I will be with you and see you tomorrow."
The man with golden silk glasses got up and sent this group of friends away. In fact, he was quite ashamed. Originally, he called a group of friends over because he wanted to have a happily watching movie and chat, but when the movie was in the middle of the movie, they all became dumb. After repeated apologies, seeing all my friends leave, he closed the door and cleared the popcorn and drinks on the table.
The CD was pushed out of the player. He picked it up and looked at the front of the CD carefully. There was a little silence, and then put the CD back in the player. The TV showed the picture again. He sat on the sofa, touching the stubble, again. Watch.
His name is Raul Smith. He is an editor of an entertainment magazine and a part-time freelance writer. He does not write lace news. His main job is to write film reviews for the most popular movies in Europe.
I called the editor-in-chief of the magazine and asked him if he could write a film review about "Effect", but I got a negative answer, because the film reviews for this issue and the next issue have been finalized and they are all for For money, they have no space to leave for a movie that they did not promote, unless Raul doesn't mind that the movie review he wrote is the same space as the advertising space.
This was not unexpected to Raul, so he didn't get too entangled. He hung up the phone and looked at the protagonist Kyle on the TV, and sighed unconsciously.
People always say that it is a happy thing to regard one's hobbies as work, but they also score what kind of work is. Just like Raul, once his hobbies are linked to money, he depends on it for a living and restricts him to rules. In the middle, then he will gradually lose favor with the hobby.
He has indeed lost most of his interest in the job of writing film reviews. If he had realized this more than ten years ago, he would never have taken this path.
He now has a profound experience, and he understands how subverting beliefs it is to write film reviews for money, but now even if he figured it out, it doesn’t help. Money binds the body and mind, and writes praiseworthy film reviews for the movies that a few like and most do not like.
Most of the movies that he really likes but can't make it to the magazine page can only be released online as anonymous or nicknames, not for money, but just to keep the fire for love from extinguishing.
With no friends around, he can watch every detail reflected in the movie seriously, and sigh for this, do you want to say that this movie has no shortcomings? In fact, there are.
However, the director and editor used a very good technique to cover up understatement, so that people can quickly forget their shortcomings and invest in the plot itself again. It is also because the plot has done such detailed processing that will make the fans feel full of hair. Feeling cold.
Use a notebook to write down every turning point, every shot detail, and every important line. Finally, when he watched the movie again, the book was already full of six pages.
This is the professional quality of a professional film critic. First of all, we must understand the film’s creative team, especially a clear understanding of the director. His style, personality, ability, and outstanding aspects must be mastered, and secondly, the actors must also have a clear understanding. To know the bottom line, anyone can talk about it casually.
There are also various details of the movie. Did you learn from the excellent sections of other movies, whether the plot progress is reasonable, how the actors perform, how the colors are used, whether the camera conversion is in place, the costume design is good or bad, whether the music is sweet and appropriate, and the editing techniques Whether it is superb or not, this all needs to be considered.
In the end, all the advantages and disadvantages are combined and given a specific score. It can be said that every film critic is the king of the mouth, just like gourmets, they may not be good at cooking, but they are really good at eating.
At first, he had guessed that this was a tragedy before watching "Effect". According to his understanding of Mickey, Raul knew that he was a typical pessimist and always liked to play some sad tunes, which touched the hearts of movie fans. , To achieve the purpose of shocking movie viewers.
It is undeniable that this man who took the mirror at the age of twenty-five is really talented, but every one of his works reveals a feeling of distaste that is so strong that it can’t be overcome. While watching the movie, he is impressed. In the hearts of every audience, Raul thinks this is a kind of black magic, which makes people's thinking become pessimistic and negative. So Raul actually dislikes Mickey, the director, because of the meaning expressed in his works. Not worth being promoted.
But now Raul feels that he still underestimated the ghost. The works he brought this time are not only melancholy and pessimistic, but total despair, exposing the ugliness of human nature.
Raul is half an insider, and can be regarded as vaguely aware of the inside story of Mickey’s imprisonment. However, Raul doesn’t know exactly what happened to Mickey, but he can now conclude that the change in Mickey’s style must be the same as before. The bad life of more than a few years has a lot to do with it, and only then will his style and thinking evolve from pessimism to a complete extreme.
And the bitter cold wind brought by this extreme style made this film critic who didn't like Mickey very much lost in the wind and snow. He couldn't help but want to write something for this movie. This magic... Scary enough.
He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face and relieved his emotions. He went back to the study, turned on the computer, turned the notebook to the first page and placed it on the desk, took a glass of water, took a sip, organized the vocabulary, and started for this. A director who he doesn't like, brought his latest masterpiece after nearly two years to cheer.
"Long time no see, this is Sonic (pen name, derived from the childhood favorite animation "Sonic the Hedgehog"). It's probably been two months since I released a new movie review because of the quality of the cinema movies in these two months... …It’s still bad enough, so this time I turned my attention to the video tape market that I haven’t paid attention to for a long time."
"Maybe many people think that the current video tape market does not have any works or directors to pay attention to. In fact, I think so too. After all, the investment gap between theatrical movies and video tape movies is getting wider and wider, and video tape movies have become synonymous with shoddy. It’s not a confusingly masterful junk film like "Vengeance", or an A-level film that satisfies people’s thinking about airplanes. You don’t have to look forward to the video tape market, you just need to wait for the time to release the once brilliant distribution method. Replaced by the Internet."
"But today, I dug out a treasure in the foul quagmire, or Pandora's Box. This movie is a new work # "effect" brought by director Mickey Taylor. Of course, don't hold on to the video tape market. There is expectation, because Mickey was not at the level of video tape movies, but he left the film industry for more than a year. At the end of last season, he played the qualifying round. The result was a drop. It has nothing to do with the rise of the video tape market. Special individuals."
"If you are a pessimist in this movie, please don't watch it. The connotation and ideas shown in this movie are definitely not suitable for you. Believe me, I am for your good, and the same kind-hearted audience Don’t watch it either, so that the pure land in your heart will not be polluted, otherwise you may be sad for several days and not sleep well."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back to the movie itself, Mickey Taylor, I don’t need to say much, except for "Birdman", all of them are good works. Of course, "Birdman" is actually a good work in my eyes. It’s just that it’s not suitable for most people. This ghost was caught in a D sucking scandal. Maybe you think it’s normal for an art practitioner to D, but what’s interesting is that I have heard that his blood test and urine test were not submitted. He was positive, but he was still sentenced to one year and six months in prison for drug driving. I didn’t know the inside story, but it definitely had something to do with the old boss. Fuck the capitalism, I can only say so many."
"Maybe it was an experience that his style became darker, which made my five friends and I feel serious discomfort after watching it. However, it was also because of the connotation of the film that made me determined to make this film. I wrote a film review for the movie. I actually hated Mickey before..."
"Effect" has become a hot item in the video tape market. Many people have heard about this. Even the scalpers have doubled the price. I really dare to ask for the price. But as a film critic, I want to know what is popular in the first time. The movie information, I still reluctantly bought it. If you want to see it but you can’t buy it, you can send me a private message. You can take it for 45 pounds. You can pick it up or pay on delivery."
"The words about Mickey will come to an end here. What we are going to talk about next is Lu Ze, the Asian star. I rarely watch Asian movies, so when I see Asians playing the protagonist, I do have a little bit of it. I was awkward or uncomfortable, but he quickly used his superb acting skills to untie the knot in my heart. The acting was really good!"
"Maybe you, like me, have never heard of this actor who can be called an excellent actor before, let alone know everything about him, then I will come to popular science today. Actually, this actor is searching in Europe. The engine is still relatively difficult to find. It can only be found that he has been selected as the best actor candidate at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival. Other information is relatively blank."
"But this does not mean that this Chinese actor has nothing outstanding. On the contrary, he was once the winner of the three major Chinese film festivals. Don't think the gold content is not high, because so far there is still no second person to get this. This honor, four actor trophies, are enough to prove his top strength, the gap between him and the top actors in Europe and America...the only difference is his skin color."
"Since his first movie appearance in 2016, he has played a total of six movie heroes, but he has never played a supporting role. It can be seen that he has a very high position in the agency and all resources have been given to him, but Judging from his performance, it should be."
"China’s entertainment industry has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in the film market. Box office has repeatedly hit record highs, but the quality of movies is not as beautiful as the box office. From the year ten to the present, China’s film has only 21 ratings. For films with more than eight points, Guang Luze alone contributed five, accounting for nearly 40% of China’s outstanding films in the past twelve years. The score is the only criterion for judging whether an actor is good or not. Did you say it?"
"In this movie, his performance is worthy of anyone's praise, and he has created a pleasing and respectable image of a teacher. In the subsequent public opinion and even violent attacks, the character's emotions and personality are controlled. The conversion is also just right, and no shortcomings can be picked out. Science popularization is here. Let’s get into the plot."
"First of all, Mickey put forward a few thought-provoking topics, family, children, soul, religion, morality, good and evil, and herd psychology. The content is too rich, but contrasts and denials are given everywhere. The ring, after the fermentation of various psychological effects, achieves a depressing effect."
"First is the family. There is a sharp contrast between Karls’s family and Kyle’s. The constant quarreling battlefield and the warm harbor make people’s mental state completely different, which leads to the first effect. This is a hot one before. In the experiment, two pots of flowers with the same environment and the same care, one was praised every day, and the other was abused every day. Within a month, the praised flower would be more luxuriant, while the insulted flower would wither. This There is no name for the experiment, and the authenticity has not been confirmed by myself, but if it is real, then people living in the two families will have completely different mental attitudes, and the next topic will be introduced. , Children."
"Is children by nature good or evil? This is something philosophers all over the world are thinking about. Of course, this is closely related to the children’s living environment, and because of this, I have reason to believe that Judy’s thinking is not good but not Evil in the true sense. Because of her age, she still longs to be loved by a gentle person, so it makes sense for her to "love" Kyle, but because of the evil that originated from the family, she destroyed Kyle. "
"It can be seen from the parents' attitude towards Judy that they love this child, but due to the quarrel of the adults, her flower continued to wither until finally when she and her boyfriend returned home and met Kyle, She lied to her boyfriend, saying that forgetting Kyle is absolutely impossible as long as she does not lose her memory. Then this is the answer given by Mickey. Judy has passed the age of ignorance and has become a real villain. Isn't it scary?"
"This is indeed worthy of our reflection on family and children’s education. Don’t think that you care for your children. He will become a kind and excellent person. Sometimes a word you carelessly will change your child’s life. So when you When you want to start a family, you should first prepare for future frictions and resolve conflicts in a rational way. When you are preparing to have children, you should also control your own details to avoid affecting your children’s mental health."
"The topic of soul freedom is divided into three types of people, the first type of Kyle, the second type of Karls, and the third type of villagers. The first is Kyle, who is kind-hearted, unwilling to do evil, and feels that dirty money is not. He will make a profit. It is not so much that he left the real estate finance industry as he was forced to leave because of the exclusion of his peers. But also for this reason, he really had two years of soul freedom, but afterwards, the slander of others was slurred. Jin, he couldn’t prove his innocence, he valued the slander of others, and he couldn’t express his innocence. In fact, at this moment, he had already lost his free soul. That’s why Judy asked him again on Christmas Day. When learning whether to obtain a free soul, he gave a completely different answer from the first time in class."
"Kars, this character can be summed up in two words. He is cowardly. He wants to escape the shadow of his father's generation. However, because of his education and vision, he can only be trapped in the village to marry and have children like other farmers. He wants to change, but No actual action has been taken. Of course, the wife’s is also the cause of his current results. The sentence that you are the father of three children is indeed too powerful for him. Just like all of us, we will be like Karl Like Si, in the face of the same dilemma, if you don’t make changes when you are young, it will be difficult for you to change after you get married and have children."
"But his fault was that he confessed his fate when he shouldn’t, but after confessing his fate, he was still wishful thinking, so that his dream and reality had a huge divergence, causing him to be depressed. Self, but he was also interested in the free soul that Kyle proposed. Until the end, he knew that Kyle was innocent, but he was tormented but said nothing, because he was afraid of tearing off the collective fig leaf and causing the whole family to be isolated. Maybe Only then would he remember that he was already the father of three children, he would not drink heavily, would not quarrel with his wife, but chose to be silent. The sadness of this character lies in his cowardice, which made him never get him. The soul that yearns for freedom is also hateful."
"Finally, it is the villagers. First of all, everyone has a feeling of being victimized. They also hope to find a reason for their unsatisfactory life. This is the same as those who claim to be unsatisfied. The truly talented people live well and will not treat "I It’s just a lack of opportunity.
This kind of shameful words are spoken openly, so this group of villagers, in fact, has no shame, they have become beasts, they just want to vent their anger oppressed by life, regardless of whether the person being vented is innocent No matter who he is, it is actually similar to campus violence. Perhaps this is the root of human inferiority, and venting has become an instinct, just to make yourself comfortable."
"The paradox of human beings may be that we can put our shame down very low, but we cannot accept the touch of others, otherwise we will immediately explode, so in the end even if we know that Kyle is innocent, they will not agree. Kyle touched their shame. On the contrary, because of his cheap shame, he continued to commit atrocities against Kyle. Then the concept of victory and defeat was introduced. The concept of good and evil in the movie has been explained thoroughly. , The winner is justice, but one more thing must be added. They are naturally winners compared to Kyle. Because of their large numbers, Kyle alone is hard to argue with. This is the reason for their victory. Then victory equals justice and quantity equals victory. , Then does quantity equal justice?"
"Something sadder happened. They can brainwash themselves, pretend to be the righteous, do evil things, do whatever they want, insult Kyle and even Catherine wantonly, vent their dissatisfaction and inexplicable things. Rage, so they really got the freedom of the soul... This is why I hate Mickey. This is really uncomfortable. Kyle has no freedom, and Kars has no freedom. In the end, the villagers got the second The soul freedom that people dream of? This kind of morality... is crazy."
"And religion, in fact, the movie does not specifically attack religion, but uses religion to visualize a phenomenon to satirize the so-called law not responsible for the public. The crime is committed by everyone, so it should be shared by everyone. It should not be borne by a small number of people, or simply by no one. As for the herd mentality, there is no need to say more. The story in the film is plain and clear, especially for pure children, who are especially easy to leave themselves at this age. A false impression is to add the "harm" suffered by others to yourself in order to get the attention of adults, but you cannot be responsible for your own words and deeds. This is what China calls human nature evil."
"As for the scene that impressed me the most, it was not Christmas Eve, but the scene where Catherine was leaving. I believe Kyle did not really want an apology from them. Out of his understanding of human nature, he naturally Knowing that he can never wait for a sorry ~EbookFREE.me~ and the purpose of what he said for this, the electronic lock on his foot can understand."
"Even if everyone knew that he was innocent, they still put him in electronic shackles and continued to torture him in this village on unwarranted charges. He could not run, or could not run away, and he did not tell. The reason why Catherine himself was in handcuffs was because he knew that no matter how hard he struggled, it would not help. The police would not do it, but the villagers would still do it. Even if the outside world knew, the police could use the investigation and prevarication. I can't get rid of the shackles, and I can only send my lover to escape here. This kind of deep despair brings me the coldness of body and mind."
"As for why you didn't leave the village, perhaps it was to leave a thorn in the hearts of the villagers. In the end, I think it was a hidden and relatively open ending. He, a man who can still dig pits, will naturally not die so soon. , But why did he dig? Maybe it’s because Judy is already an adult. For a man who doesn’t want to hurt his children, maybe the time for revenge has come."
"Of course, this is just my wild guess. Out of instinctive thoughts of using violence to control violence, what Kyle would do, I guess no one except Mickey will understand."
"In general, the calm scenes become more and more depressing as the plot deepens, and eventually become distorted. The shooting method requires a thumbs-up, and the editing is also in place. The plot is even more impressive. The actors directly treat me Fans, if you put a score together, I think this movie should be around nine points or even higher in my mind."
"The discussion about "Effect" ends here. More content will need to wait for you to watch it in person to have a deeper experience. I am Sonic, and we...may not see you again."
