American weekly, 100 percent, hall. Alfonso Caron made a perfect film, and Langley hall made a perfect performance again. In the endless space, he is going through a grand adventure of life collapse, but no one can hear his roar and scream, the cascade of emotional catharsis, so that people can really see the peak state of the performance. "
"America today", 100 points, "Alfonso Caron has done an incredible job and made a cinema film that is hard to surpass, but... All praise must be dedicated to Langley hall. The young actor gives the character soul and story life with delicate and profound, rich and full eyes. Every picture he appears is amazing. If there are still people who wonder why he was able to achieve egot, then that's the answer. "
"Washington Post", 100 points, "when the viewing is over, every audience can't help standing up and clapping. This belongs to Alfonso Caron, and even more to Langley hall! After the "drunken ballad", Langley hall once again presented a soul stirring performance with clear layers and profound core. His performance is the type of "let the audience completely integrate into the story and can't extricate themselves". At the end of the film, Hall's performance is enough to go down in history! "
"Vanity Fair", 100 points, "worship! Give all the applause and all the respect to Raleigh hall! He succeeded, once again, in accomplishing an impossible task, and proved once again that he is one of the best and best actors of our time. An incredible performance
In the interview session after the premiere, Langley repeatedly stressed that he hoped that everyone would focus on the director, because this is a work belonging to the director. Alfonso Caron's director's mark and camera language gave the epoch-making significance of "gravity", and every link of other drama groups can only be regarded as a tool in the hands of the director, Including lenley himself.
When Alfonso praised Langley for the first time, he attributed all the credit to the young actor, and even frankly believed that Langley was one of the greatest actors in contemporary times. At that time, people just took it for granted that it was a routine way for directors and actors to praise and admire each other; Now, mainstream comprehensive media have also expressed their agreement.
From "drunken folk songs" to egot and then to "gravity", this is indeed a year for lanli. The full-scale outbreak of performance level has successfully made lanli a hall level figure.
After the success of the Grand Slam, there are actually quite a few complaints outside the industry.
It's the law of conservation in nature that things go against the extreme. When praise reaches the extreme, it will inevitably lead to disgust and resistance. Especially when Lan Li is still so young, whether he is envious or envious, whether he is disdainful or clean, it's undeniable that people are more or less bored.
Can't help but make complaints about come in a throng of media, and all of them will be uniform. All of them are willing to ignore or skip over, and even further begin to malicious speculation, and Tucao and the rages are coming in all directions. "It's like the whole world is left with an actress like Holzer."
Not to mention the ordinary audience, even lanli himself gradually began to feel numb and bored. In the first half of the year, lanli suddenly fell into a stagnant period, losing enthusiasm and motivation for performance; In the second half of the year, after Lan Li made a breakthrough, he was unwilling to expose too much in front of the media, and more often, he hoped that all his eyes could stick to his works.
But... Works are works, and excellence is excellence, which is indisputable and irresistible.
Just like competitive sports, Usain Bolt dominated the world in his peak period. When one champion after another won the soft hand, he was invincible. The eyes of those envious challenges were everywhere. No matter whether people liked it or supported it, he was able to win the championship. This is absolute strength. As a result, the controversy gradually began to disappear - or still exist, but no one cares.
It's the same with today's blue rite.
The glory of the egot Grand Slam really makes people feel tired, but Cannes's "drunken ballad" and Venice's "gravity" are still undeniable absolute masterpieces, or even classic masterpieces. The depth and breadth of the two works once again prove the absolute status of Langley as the first actor of the new generation, Even in Hollywood, it's second to none.
Don't you agree? Hold it.
After the premiere of gravity in Venice, despite the lack of official statistics, you can feel the change of wind direction when you are in the water city——
The praise of Alfonso Caron is overwhelming, and the affirmation of lanli hall is endless. Many people say that "gravity" has not been able to participate in the main competition unit. Otherwise, the most favorable contender for the Golden Lion award has been born. What's more, lanli and the best actor award have missed each other.
Before the Venice Film Festival, people can't wait to discuss: can Langley complete the Grand Slam of the three major European film festivals?
If he can, he is obviously the youngest actor in the history of film to achieve such success, and he should also be the shortest actor in the history of film. In just two years, on the road of making history, lanli is really the only one in the world, easily proud of others.
After the "gravity" premiere, there was a mainstream view in the streets of Venice: as long as the film participated in the main competition unit, the award of best actor to lenley would be a sure thing, which means that history is likely to be born.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Warner Brothers' insistence and persistence on the strategy of commercial film is simply appalling. Especially after Kevin Kobayashi's succession, the top management of the company, which is still in chaos and turbulence, has little room for business and discussion, and everything has become simple and rough, In this way, their publicity plan pinched out the grand vision of the Venice Film Festival and the possibility of making history.
Although it's only a possibility, and maybe gravity won't win the prize for Lanley even if it entered the main competition unit, many filmmakers still resent it.
On the contrary, Warner Bros. is still complacent. Because of the excellent reputation of "gravity", Toronto and New York can begin to look forward to it. After the three film festivals are all over, the film will be released on a large scale in North America. Such a kind of propaganda is really popping.
It's a pity that the production right and distribution right are the same thing. It's inevitable that we have to cooperate with the top companies. Gravity is doomed to miss the main competition unit of Venice Film Festival, so all media focus on the awarding season——
There is no doubt that "gravity" easily ranks among the first group. Now many media believe that the film has incomparable advantages in the best film, best director, best actor, best supporting actress and many other technical awards. It is now worthy of being the biggest hit of the year.
Not only that, "drunken folk songs" are quietly entering the first group, and the best film, best director, best actor, best adapted screenplay and other major awards of the Cohen brothers are still competitive. Sony's classic academic public relations ability is better than Warner Brothers, which is also an important chip.
Now, Lan Li, who starred in "drunken folk songs" and "gravity", naturally became the number one seed player of the best actor, far surpassing last year's "detachment" and the year before last year's "crazy love".
In the year before last, lanli performed "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me", two highly acclaimed works at the same time. In the award season, her momentum went all the way up, and finally won the prize with a cool attitude; And this year's two works, level and specification, feedback and comments, are all easy to finish the two works of the previous year. Does this mean that lanli will copy the same upward route?
Unconsciously, the awarding season is coming.
After Rooney Mara left, the "gravity" crew stayed in Venice for two days, accepted interviews from major mainstream media, and completed the first stage of publicity tasks before leaving.
In fact, lanli still hopes to spend a holiday in Venice for some time. This time, Matthew, Andre, Eaton and other friends have also come to the water city, and the good memories of those young days come to his heart again, which makes people happy; But work is work after all, and Langley has to leave for Toronto to launch the next round of publicity.
As for vacation, we have to wait for the next time.
Matthew and others are not in a hurry to leave. Now that they have come to Venice, they simply give themselves a short holiday to enjoy the late summer sunshine of the Adriatic Sea. In a trance, they seem to be back to those carefree years, enjoying the leisurely and comfortable life of the children of rich families, and glorifying the vigor and vitality of youth wantonly.
It was a day gone forever.
At the same time, Toronto on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean has already ushered in the bleak and vast autumn. The maple leaves in the sky have been dyed with different colors, and the whole world has become colorful and magnificent. This is the unique beauty of Canada. The amazing journey from summer to autumn has slowed down the pace.
Those hospitable Canadians at Toronto Pearson International Airport welcome the return of Langley with the highest treatment. What's more, they welcome the shining appearance of "gravity". After three years, they return to this city again. However, "Langley hall" is not what it used to be, The surging and boiling crowd has predicted in advance that the next publicity will be a wonderful journey.
