Chapter 617

"What are these things?"

Inside the cinema, Michael Bilson complained to his companion, "a scene without a line was played for two minutes. Is there any mistake?"

His companion also looked very dissatisfied, "the rhythm is so slow that I feel sleepy. Is this a movie made by Murphy?"

The man on the right shook his head. "It's not what we thought. It's not an action crime movie."

A few people are silent at the same time. This film is basically a small literature oriented biography.

Slow rhythm, long lens used to express the character's heart, painful struggle choice, all kinds of artistic lens It's totally different from the fast-paced black movies they expect!

In the end, Diego rose designed the climax of killing his own gang boss. According to Murphy's past style, there was always a comet earth war. However, there was no shooting scene in the film. The film focused on Diego Rose's conspiracy, and there was no big scene at all.

Diego Ross takes advantage of the conflict between the gang and the Mexican drug traffickers. After a police chief of the United police department and an accountant who works for the gang, the film ends.

Although I saw the faces of James Franco and Jonah hill, Murphy's fans were not very satisfied. When they left the cinema, many of them were disappointed.

"The film is really dark and serious..." There are fans walking and chatting, "but there's always something missing, which makes people unable to get up."

Someone shrugged, "without the climax play, the whole film narrative is slow and seems very flat."

"This is not a movie for us at all." Some fans inadvertently point to the crux of the problem.

In the premiere theater, looking at the falling subtitles, Todd McCarthy stood up and clapped. This is one of the best films he has seen since entering the award season. It has smooth narration and profound theme, brilliant characterization and ingenious long shot design. Compared with Murphy Stanton's other "city of chaos" in the first half of the year, it has a better foundation!

Kenneth Turan is also clapping. The unique dark atmosphere of the film reflects Murphy Stanton's extraordinary directing skills. The use of film language is more plain and easy to arouse his emotional resonance!

There was a lot of applause in the movie hall. Kenneth Turan saw the crew in the first row go to the exit to the news hall and said to Todd McCarthy, "let's go. It's a great night."

Todd McCarthy followed Kenneth Turan, walked out with the crowd and said, "Murphy Stanton finally abandoned the flashiness in the film and returned to the honest nature of the film."

Murphy Stanton's films in the past are also good. Compared with this film with steady narration and profound theme, the festival is too fast, the lens is too short, the technique is too flashy, and the editing is too sharp

He should pursue a film with basic skills in such ordinary film language.

After the press conference, Todd McCarthy and Kenneth Turan were not interested in participating and left the cinema directly.

At the post screening press conference of the film, Murphy was dealing with the media reporters.

"Director Stanton..."

The first person to stand up and ask is a reporter from Hollywood Reporter. His question is more professional. "This film is mainly long shot, and the rhythm is relatively slow. It's completely different from your previous fast-paced film. Why do you want to make such a change?"

"Because first of all, I want to make sure that the audience can feel the emotional atmosphere of the story. Emotion is what I want to keep in this film at all costs."

Compared with previous interviews, Murphy basically said the truth in answering this question, "what do you want the audience to feel? When watching a movie, if the audience can feel what you want to express from the beginning to the end, everything you do is worth it. What they finally remember is not editing techniques, nor photography skills, nor performance, or even no story, but their feelings. "

If you want the audience to remember Diego Roth, a nobody for them, you have to make people feel the same after watching it.

It's Murphy's idea, and he can't guarantee it.

Another reporter stood up and took over the microphone and said, "Murphy, when I watch the movie, I sit at the back with some ordinary fans. Some of your fans around me are very dissatisfied with the slow narrative rhythm of the movie."

Murphy was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "as a filmmaker, you have to know that no matter how positive things seem, you will always see bad comments, you will always notice that what some people like is what some people hate, so you can't take corresponding measures. I think you just need to do what you believe."

Murphy also predicted that this kind of film can not please his inherent fans, but the negative impact is also limited. After all, almost all the big commercial directors have directed literary films, and after this literary oriented film, he will use a super commercial production to eliminate these negative effects.The following questions are all platitudes, such as the relationship with Diego Roth and related rumors. Murphy has already made sufficient preparations and easily resolved them.

"I know you don't like to talk too much about yourself, but can I ask a less personal question?" When Murphy made a movie, he turned to a reporter and said, "what do you like?"

Murphy replied directly, "I like to be with my fiancee. I don't play golf, I don't know how to ride a horse, and I don't like racing. With Gail, I can completely relax."

Perhaps inspired by the previous reporter, the next reporter's question is still aimed at Murphy himself.

"If you have a choice, which filmmaker do you want your future to be like?" He asked.

"Well, there are many great filmmakers in the world."

Murphy has already thought out the words behind the previous sentence. Now that the award season has begun, he should be positive enough. "I'd like to work into my old age like some great filmmakers - such as John Houston."

After a pause, he added, "I think Stanley Kubrick is very good. If he wants to, he can make very personal movies in the studio system. I think that's what most filmmakers want. Steven Spielberg has been keeping himself at the forefront of the film. How amazing! And Clint Eastwood! In my opinion, many filmmakers are still making films as interesting as their first big hit. Making continuous efforts to make excellent works is my ultimate pursuit. "

Instead of handing over the microphone, the reporter asked, "many years from now, when people look back at this era, how would you like them to comment on Murphy Stanton's films?"

Murphy could refuse to answer this question, but after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "I hope they say that my movies are always ambitious, always sincere, and strive to achieve this ambition. That's what I hope. As for the quality of movies, of course, I hope people like them."

At this point, Murphy laughed. "But to be honest, that's not true."

Just when Murphy was dealing with reporters, Todd McCarthy had arrived at his studio, entered the studio, turned on his computer, logged on his Internet column, opened his notebook and looked at it. Taking advantage of his deep memory of the film, he was ready to update his internet film column for the first time.

"In the film" Diego Ross ", Murphy Stanton deeply portrays Los Angeles in the 1980s and 1990s in a realistic way, creating a modern apocalypse. What is most worth thinking about is what the so-called state and religion give people? Can law and fairness rise in this land of freedom? For ethnic minorities, there is no doubt that there is a huge cloud of doubt, which they can't imagine and can't see.... "

"The problem reflected in this film does not only exist in Los Angeles, nor does it exist in the United States, but also in the world. In today's civilized world, the breeding of violence and religious problems persecute every growing child and juvenile. The affluence of the upper class society is always in sharp contrast to poverty and backwardness. They, perhaps including us, have been struggling on the edge of the painful world. "

After updating his column, Todd McCarthy opened the online film review column of his old friend Kenneth Turan and found that the old guy's action was faster. He updated his column as early as five minutes ago.

"The plot that Murphy Stanton created for" Diego Ross "is very elegant and unconventional, and the way of telling the story is very close to art, which is the highlight of the film."

"I admire his skill very much. It's hard to find a clean and bright picture of violence, guns and drugs in film reviews. The whole film is immersed in a dull, dull, stale and old-fashioned atmosphere. "

"With a very real shooting and production technique, he tore up the reality of the character's depravity due to the collapse of faith to all of us. With the decline of morality and the collapse of faith, the city of angels opened its mouth and devoured every young life."

Just saw here, Todd McCarthy's phone rang, pick up, it is Kenneth Turan.

"I just got the news that 20th Century Fox sent a copy to Roger Abbott the other day."

He spoke so fast that before Todd McCarthy could speak, he said, "Roger Albert is said to have taken a copy of the film!" (to be continued). )
