Chapter 1717

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of Sundance, and major mainstream media have sent interview teams; After the lanli forum ended, the hot topic made the mainstream media's main reporters rush to park city. The more and more lively scenes seem to have broken the blockade of the award season and become the biggest focus since the beginning of 2014. Even the Golden Globe Awards, whose ratings have warmed up last week, are willing to decline.

It was in this craze that "pop drummer" held its premiere.

"Variety" magazine's high praise is just the opening battle. The 100 out of 100 mark mark marks a clear prelude to the premiere of professional media reviews. At the same time, the film reviews of other major authoritative newspapers and magazines also show a comprehensive boom.

Elizabeth weizman, a film critic of the New York Times, has always been in favor of lenley. At the beginning, when "crazy love" landed in Sundance, Elizabeth was one of the first film critics to watch the film. For the whole story, she fully felt it. After watching the film several times, she wrote a review.

Today, "crazy love" is still one of Elizabeth's personal favorites, which has nothing to do with the quality of the film, but has something to do with her personal experience; Meanwhile, Elizabeth's love for him has never wavered. She has almost accompanied him all the way and witnessed his transformation on the road of performance.

If "gravity" and "drunken folk songs" have created a new high in lanli's career, reaching a peak that can hardly be copied or surpassed, then "pop drummer" has really made lanli into the ranks of hall level actors - yes, lanli is only 24 years old now, which is too young, but the fact is, He has now reached a whole new stage.

At least Elizabeth thinks so. Maybe, a little selfish, just a little.

"We can find 10000 reasons why we don't like the drummer, but we only need one reason to like the drummer: Langley hall.

Hall's amazing performance once again gives the film unparalleled charm of light and shadow, which is enough to become a reason for people to enter the cinema; Fortunately, this work has a fascinating unique temperament besides hall, which not only shows the retro charm of jazz, but also shows the difference of artistic creation. "

Elizabeth didn't hide her personal preferences at the beginning of the film review, but objectively speaking, watching a film is a private matter. Even the film critics, their comments inevitably bring personal perspectives and opinions - the east coast and the west coast have different definitions of excellent film and performance, culture, education, environment, race, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, culture The influence of class and so on permeates in every aspect, and film review is no exception.

What's more, Elizabeth is not a fanatic fan, not to like, but to praise for her excellence.

"The success of" pop drummer "lies in the fact that it vividly presents the struggle and confusion in the process of artistic breakthrough. Is pain and suffering the driving force of art? Is human nature and sensibility the source of artistic creation? On the road to success, what should we sacrifice to achieve the ultimate?

This work goes a step further than "black swan", showing the whole process in a real and cruel way, which makes the whole film full of bloody and dark cold breath, and brings a shivering sense of horror; But the sense of breakthrough after watching the film brought an incredible experience. Absolutely a feast!

Artistic creation is undoubtedly a very abstract process. Damien chazere, JK Simmons and Langley hall have joined hands to complete an incredible transformation process.

The two actors joined hands to contribute one of the most wonderful and shocking opponent plays in the new century. Simmons' image of the devil mentor reminds us of Al Pacino's almost possessed posture in the "devil spokesman"; Hall's gritty, delicate and rich performance makes the hero completely transform step by step in the pursuit of art, and endows Jazz art with vivid soul in a figurative way.

Simmons plays a leading and catalytic role throughout the whole work, but all the drama weight still falls on Hall, and hall has once again dedicated the top performance. The young actor's exploration and breakthrough in the field of performance has reached a new height, truly making performance an art.

The performances of Simmons and hall make watching this work a kind of suffering, but also a kind of enjoyment. "

There is no doubt that Elizabeth did not hesitate to give full marks, and appeared in the front page headline of the official website of the New York Times, expressing the magazine's official position in this way.

If the "New York Times" represents the mainstream view of the east coast, then the "Los Angeles Times" is the banner media of the west coast. Even the professional media such as "variety show" and "Hollywood Reporter" are in line with the "Los Angeles Times" in many news events, so there is no need to say more about their authority.

For a long time, the Los Angeles Times has maintained a calm attitude towards the east coast born lenley - not only lenley, but also Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Tony kayer, Noah Baumbach and so on. It has nothing to do with personal preferences, but more of a difference in artistic and cultural atmosphere.

Of course, excellent works are excellent works, and the Los Angeles Times will not be stingy with its praise. However, compared with the popularity of the east coast, their comments are more calm and less fanatical; On the other hand, some works are highly praised on the West Coast represented by the Los Angeles Times, but they are much calmer on the east coast.

The cultural differences between the east coast and the west coast are the regional characteristics of the whole North American continent for many years, which are closely related to the historical causes; What is more striking is the central region, where there are many religious media magazines with more conservative views and more stubborn attitudes; In addition, the network media of the new era weakens the regional influence, but expands the network factors, and the views are more different.

Naturally, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times have different views.

This time, in the face of "pop drummer", Roger Moore, a senior film critic of the Los Angeles Times, gave his own point of view.

"How to praise Langley hall? This seems to have become a fixed routine after the release of every film. Every film critic and reporter are racking their brains to think about this problem, hoping to express their shock and love through the art of language.

In a long time, make people feel powerless, and long praise can also make the ordinary words lose their magic power, and even create a kind of impulse to make complaints about Holzer.

But from a different perspective, this is a magical process, because the actor can always create more miracles in the world of performance. Praising hall has gradually become a habit, but the cracker drummer further proves that it's because he deserves such treatment.

Langley hall did it again.

Although there are many praiseworthy parts in the work of "pop drummer". Chazelei's talent controls the lens rhythm of the film with drums and melodies, which makes the viewing process a kind of enjoyment; Simmons' performance, which is almost ferocious and cold-blooded, gives the character a unique texture and perfectly combines the character with the theme of the film.

But... All the spotlights are still focused on Hall. It's not fair. It's not fair for the wonderful performance and excellent effect of chazere and Simmons. However, Hall's performance does promote the theme of the film layer by layer, and then achieve sublimation and transformation. He is still the core soul power of the whole film“

Roger used this sentence in his comments to express his exclamation to Langley

"If you still have doubts and hesitations about Langley hall, please watch the cracker drummer. It's not because it's a better work than gravity or drunken folk - in fact, it's not; It's because it shows Hall's breakthrough and concentration on the road of performing arts exploration. "

"Los Angeles Times" is also highly praised for "gravity", but Roger has never used such a clear-cut and emotional word. This is the first time in history that he has focused all his attention on lenley.

From quantitative change to qualitative change, the birth of "pop drummer" is making Lan Li's aura gradually evolve into a brilliant light“ This is true of Stephen of the variety show, Elizabeth of the New York Times, and Roger of the Los Angeles Times.

"The most brilliant part of Hall's performance is undoubtedly the interpretation of the drum, although in the post production, some pictures are performed by professional drummers; However, in the actual shooting process, hall personally took part in the whole process, and perfectly presented the real drums in most shots, which made his performing soul penetrate into the music and possessed the power to frighten the soul.

Only in this way, hall has offered a wonderful performance that can match Natalie Portman in the black swan, and he has further explored a new height in the performance process, from the pure psychological horror and suspense level to the ancient Greek tragic artistic exploration.

This skill just makes hall outstanding.

In the film, Hall's personal life beyond professional skills is exquisitely carved, which truly shows his strong control and penetration in performance, especially the subtle relationship between the role and his father, which is worth tasting again and again. This also makes the theme of the whole film rise to a new height, It's really one of the best works in the world

With a full score of 100, Roger put an end to his film review in such a simple way.
