Amy Nicholson of "time" mercilessly criticized that even lanli's performance failed to make her change her mind. Finally, she gave a score of "1.54", which was only 1.5 out of four. Slightly better than the "voice of the village", but it is still a drop in the bucket, there is no big difference at all.
First, "time weekly" and then "voice of the village". In addition, there are a lot of critical voices.
Entertainment Weekly's film critic, Lisa Schwarzbaum, never liked Langley. I don't know if it's an illusion. Because of Cornell McGregor's relationship, it seems that the whole Entertainment Weekly is full of hostility to lenley; At least to be sure, among the previous works of lanli, Lisa is hard to give high praise. At most, she is weak in criticism. How can she miss such a rare opportunity this time?
"The ending is a typical anti climax. Just when everyone in the audience thinks things can't be worse, Tony Kaye gives a strong counterattack: the film is far from the bottom."
Full of sarcasm, full fire, without a dirty word, but has been "detached" scolded bloody.
"The theme of the whole film is ambiguous. In the first half of the film, it is a story of the death poetry club, in the middle, it is a story of" far away from the gambling city ", but in the second half, it is a story of Lolita. At the end of the day, Tony kayer's film about suburban colleges tells the story of a lovely teacher's little troubles and the girl who falls in love with him.
Langley hall is undoubtedly very popular. In this work, the shape and face reach the peak of charm value. Girls who like twilight should like this work. "
Laughing and scolding, sarcasm and ridicule, Lisa attacks "detachment" in an all-round way, and finally draws an end with a score of "0.54", nailing the work to a humiliating post thoroughly, which also becomes the lowest score of lanli's career. It can be seen that Lisa is very satisfied with her film review.
As an art film festival, Berlin always adheres to the principle of opening up all criticism and praise. The essence of art needs to be explored, shared and criticized. Only in this way can the process of "creation" constantly inspire inspiration. Eliminate those who oppose the voice, leaving only those who praise the voice, then can only stay in place forever.
Therefore, after the premiere of "detached", there are all kinds of comments on the official magazine, which is almost shocking.
"Rolling stone", "1.54" and "detachment" pierce a coffin nail into the Bible in an amateur and rough way, but the discussion of the whole film is so empty, so nihilistic and so boring that it doesn't feel any pain. "
"USA Today", "24", "this film has unparalleled power. The performance of Lanley hall has brought a baptism of soul shock, and once again established the position of the new generation of acting leader. Natalie Portman should feel the threat; At the same time, the film is immersed in an irresistible void, like standing in the ruins of a dollar store, not knowing what to save, or... Is it worth saving? "
"Variety show", "1.84" and "Tony kayer" are undoubtedly admirable for their bold attempts. He has tapped out more potential of Langley hall and once again showed people the strength of top acting skills. At least three of them are at the level of movie king, and the rest are at the level of nomination; But beyond that, Kaye lost control of the advancement and development of the story. After the lack of emotional fetters, all his monologues became so empty and powerless. All his monologues seemed to lack directivity and became castles in the air. "
Although the author's films are always controversial, after 30 or 40 years of precipitation, many films are still mixed, and the extreme emotions of likes and dislikes are still clear; However, it is unimaginable that "chaotuo" has been attacked. In particular, the major authoritative media have given ultra-low scores and malicious words. Overnight, it almost pushed "chaotuo" into the abyss that can not be turned over.
In a trance, it seems that the audience's applause and questions on the premiere never happened. But this is one of the charms of the Berlin Film Festival. The bigger the controversy, the more discussions and the fiercer the confrontation, on the contrary, it is a sign of the popularity of the film.
No one is willing to discuss those films which are not good enough; Those films with high praise, all signs indicate that they are going to win the prize, but they are ignored and often fail to reach the top in the end; Those movies with unique style, praise and criticism fly together, but they can most arouse the enthusiasm of film lovers.
Everyone is eager to watch such a movie, interpret and understand it from his own point of view, and then exchange opinions with other people, even if the quarrel turns red. Debate, confrontation, game, thought collision, this is the joy of art.
"Time weekly", "voice of the village", "Entertainment Weekly", "rolling stone", USA Today "and" variety show ", a total of six media, after the premiere of" detachment ", gave poor comments; But in addition, there are nine media, after watching the film, have made a response with good comments, with one voice that this is undoubtedly one of the best works in Berlin this year.
"Screen", an authoritative professional film magazine from Britain, has a similar position in Europe as that of "variety show" and "Hollywood Reporter" in the United States.
Every year, the magazine cooperates with three major European film festivals to launch an official magazine. Among the magazines, first of all, they invite six to nine professional film critics, who are also officially recognized by the film festival, to rate the films and evaluate the magazine; Secondly, they will invite their own professional film critics and other professional film critics in Europe to write film reviews for the works above the festival.
Of course, in addition to the official magazine of "screen", other magazines will also launch their own corresponding rating statistics, but they are not officially recognized by the film festival, and their authority and circulation are inferior.
The key to the success of "screen" magazine is to always maintain objectivity, authority, professionalism and art.
In addition, there is another important reason why the "screen" pays close attention to all the developments in the film industry, including works of art and commercial works. However, relatively speaking, works of art are their top priority, while Hollywood works have received less attention, even less than the artistic creation of small and remote countries such as the Middle East or Western Europe.
For the first time, "screen" released film reviews and gave them praise, which also laid the overall tone for the controversy of "detachment".
"This is probably the best work on education since Francois Truffaut's' 451 'in 1966."
Francois Trevor, one of the greatest directors in France, is famous for his second work "four hundred hits"“ Screen magazine measures "detachment" by "451 degrees Fahrenheit", which is a great analogy in itself.
"Truffle shows the importance of reading in a realistic and poetic way, which will become the torch of historical progress and social change, and illuminate the piety of human society; Kayer, on the other hand, discusses the importance of education from a rebellious perspective. Besides survival, wealth, reputation and status, education endows human beings with the most precious thing: thought.
The idea of freedom of choice, the idea of pursuing dreams, the idea of comfortable life, the idea of creating wealth and the idea of self achievement. Education gives everyone the right to choose.
However, in modern society, people ignore the core of ideology and turn education into a stepping stone of wealth and fame. This is a retrogression of society and a tragedy of history. "
Anthony lane, a senior film critic of screen magazine, incisively expressed Tony kayer's creative intention and core ideas, and then further commented on the director and actors.
"Kaye has chosen a way of shooting which is close to documentary, a neurotic lens perspective and a twisted and contradictory way of expression, showing the inner struggle and emptiness of each character; The film texture of the film and the raw and plain Student Actors further confuse the boundary between reality and film, and record the fragments of life in a semi real way, showing a state of confusion and frustration.
This is the state of reality, this is the state of education, this is also the state of life. After watching this movie, any audience will feel nihility, chaos and loss, even disgust and disgust, and even stab at the psychology of some people related to education. Then, kayer's goal has been achieved. "
It can be seen that Anthony not only expressed support for Tony, but also secretly satirized those who opposed the critics, killing two birds with one stone. As the official film critic of "screen", Anthony's attitude is really intriguing, not to mention, this is not the end.
"In addition to the director, young actor lenley hall gave the best performance of his career - not long ago, his star 'love crazy' still succeeded in winning every audience.
Under kayer's rough and original lens, hall stripped off all the decoration and carving, and Daqiao returned to the most basic position of the performance: emotion. All the performances are so simple, but they are so exquisite. The dramatic tension between actions breaks the blockade of the dimensional wall, and promotes the director's intention and the core of the script to a new height. In the end, no trace can be seen. This performance reminds us of Helen Mirren in the queen.
But that's the problem. Hall is only 22 years old.
Choose a reason to watch the film, Langley hall; There are two reasons to choose, Langley hall and Langley hall; Three reasons, Langley hall, Langley hall, Tony Kaye. "
"Screen" magazine's praise, which is all-round, from director to actor, from script to kernel, has pushed "detachment" to the peak. As the official journal of Berlin Film Festival, Anthony's film review has undoubtedly become the leader of the first batch of reviews, and the "3.84" score has pushed this controversy to the peak!
