Crackle, crackle, crackle, the endless questions were thrown out one by one, as if he didn't have to breathe at all. Bradley spewed out a lot——
Although this is the interview of Cannes Film Festival, it is also the first interview after the Oscar. The problems in the minds of journalists can be poured out like a torrent of water. Bradley is only showing the tip of the iceberg now, and he wants to pack up all the problems and throw them out.
Lanli couldn't help laughing happily. "Slow down, slow down. We still have time to talk slowly. But before I read the magazine, I can answer some questions. Oscar is undoubtedly a very important award. But as I said at the beginning, it is a pressure and a motivation. I am looking forward to becoming a better actor. Therefore, we can give the works answers to the topic of xiaojinren. "
After a pause, Lan Li raised his magazine and said, "like lobster.". How about this work? I think that's the perfect answer. "
Gavin and Bradley once again exchanged a vision: speak with works. Sure enough, lanli is full of confidence. The calm atmosphere from the inside out can't be easily compared with any other actor. Even among the stars, he is second to none.
It is still a familiar "screen" magazine, which clearly lists the comments and scores of ten specially invited media. The invited media may be slightly different every year, but the authority and profession are fully guaranteed - what's more, the score of the magazine is only one of the reference data of media comments.
The only interesting detail is that some rating columns are vacant, which also means that the reporter in charge of commenting has not watched the film for the time being, has not submitted comments and scores, and will fill in the vacancy after watching it for the time being - of course, there are very few special cases that may be missed, Reporters from peer reviews and information to make a "do not look at it" conclusion, after will not read.
After all, there are only 11 days in the festival, and there are too many films on display. With limited time, everyone has to make a choice.
However, yesterday's "lobster", which experienced the craze of the premiere, all 10 comments appeared on the stage, and none of them was missing, which proved the film's "can't be missed". The scoring media of the magazine all attended and made comments at the first time, giving their own feelings in Cannes's four-star scoring system.
Italy's "daily fact", two stars, "outstanding concept, amazing lens, but the finished product is still incomplete."
In further detailed comments, the Italian media said, "Argus lansmus really has a master atmosphere in the form, but the core under the surface of the form is messy and simple. Langley hall, Rachel, weiz and other actors performed very well, but they still failed to give the film more content than form. What would be the effect of shooting the same subject matter by David finch? "
Russia's "Medusa", one star, "the empty form, rigid performance and absurd atmosphere really create enough black humor, even enough to make people laugh."; But how exaggerated the laughter is, how empty the content is. The outstanding form more and more sets off the nothingness of the whole film, just like the emperor's new clothes. "
In a concluding one sentence review, they said, "gimmicks are higher than essential works. I don't think so. "
Between the lines, we can clearly feel the depression of the Italian media and the Russian media, which is obviously the result of disappointment under the high expectations.
Lan Li finished reading quietly, but the smile between his eyebrows slowly penetrated, and the corner of his mouth could not help Rising: this evaluation was completely expected. Strictly speaking, it could not be regarded as an attack. On the contrary, it was close to Lan Li's initial impression of "lobster". Obviously, they are all looking forward to more, but the result is only a "beginning". It's really disappointing that Eugene left all the thinking space to the audience.
But it's also the effect that he really wants to achieve. As for whether we are satisfied or not, we can only say that different people have different opinions.
"I thought the criticism would be more violent." Lan Li said with interest.
Bradley chuckled. "How do you explain that?"
"You know, when we were promoting" detachment "in Berlin, praise and criticism were polarized. In fact, Tony and I were very happy that the film got such comments, because the feelings of like and dislike reached the acme, which means that our works can really stimulate the feelings of the audience, rather than the 60 point works that we forget after seeing." Lanli's vivid explanation was immediately clear.
Gavin asked curiously, "do you mean a ten point movie is more celebratory than a sixty Point movie?"
"Yes, that's what it means." Lan Li nodded his head without hesitation.
Bradley and Gavin are both silent, reflecting on the profound meaning of Langley's words, but the two reporters have their own unique interpretation, which is also a very wonderful moment.
It is obvious that "lobster" can never win the praise of French media like the "drunken ballad" two years ago. The evaluation of the official magazine can be seen as a profile of the discussion frenzy, showing the different gap of different audiences, and everyone holds different views.
Russia's "Medusa newspaper" only gave a star, so extreme and so firm attitude, just like the reporters who slammed out the door at the premiere, after all, it is still a minority; It's like the media with four stars: there are only two.
The "Los Angeles Times" of the United States, four stars, "mechanical cold, rigid action, emotional soundtrack, finally converged into a wonderful comedy, the right performance lit up the whole work, and step by step led the audience out of the cinema with questions. No doubt the best of the year
French "Figaro", four stars, "weird, fresh, cold, humorous. Eugene lansmus once again successfully established a set of his own anti utopian social logic, pointing to the definition of relationship in contemporary society everywhere, and the narrative trend of love reveals a kind of gentle cruelty, which is applauded
If you list the highest and lowest scores separately, you can immediately find many interesting details:
First, two four stars and one star, the two extreme scores are in the minority after all. The magazine includes a total of 10 media, accounting for 30%.
Second, the media with the highest scores are from France and the United States, while the latter is from Los Angeles; The lowest rated media came from Russia. To be sure, the regional influence is still relatively weak. After all, all major media send a representative to give a score. Personal subjective factors have obvious influence, but they can still explain something more or less.
Thirdly, the focus of four stars and one star are actually the same: Stylized narrative mode and image atmosphere. Four stars call it "wonderful comedy" and one star call it "nothing". Likes and dislikes are all around the same thing, which further confirms the role of personal subjective factors.
This also shows that "lobster" is similar to "detached" author's film. With the same content and elements, as many people like it, as many people hate it.
However, the author's style of "lobster" is far less bold and adventurous than that of Tony Kaye, and the impression of being "stung" in the end is not so much.
Apart from the highest score and the lowest score, the other seven media all gave relatively moderate two stars or Samsung, either neutral partial like a little, or neutral partial hate a little, such an ambiguous attitude became the main theme of the official magazine, continued the state after yesterday's premiere.
Four of them are Samsung.
The ingenious collision and fusion of different elements of "time weekly" and "Samsung" in the United States brings a unique film viewing experience; But at the same time, it also has the characteristics of interference and interruption, even some empty and nothingness. This is perhaps the most obvious and the most powerless time that Langley Hall's performance deviated from the director's thought. But it's not his fault. "
France's "liberty" and Samsung, "most of the time, the film is tumbling in the stomach with a kind of uncomfortable and strange feeling of goose bumps; But "lobster" still successfully shows lance Moss's thinking about the relationship between postmodern society. The narrative style wandering between humor and irony undoubtedly brings the audience more interesting space for reflection. Those questions are exactly the success. The natural performance is still a bright spot, and the light of lanli hall stands out easily. Every minute is a joyful enjoyment. "
"Seeing and listening" in the UK, Samsung, and "lansmus" get rid of their own comfort field a little bit, with less pessimism and more banter in black humor style, which makes the film viewing process no longer suffer like "dog teeth". However, lansmus still successfully finds a perfect balance for the film. The excellent audio-visual language and rigid performance style complement each other, and the audience's several cheers and the wave of reflection after the end once again proved the perfect adaptation of Langley hall. "
Thailand's "Bangkok Post", Samsung, "lansmus" broke his boundaries, made more bold attempts in the social and cultural framework, and finally constructed a strange and wonderful black comedy. A large number of ritualized empty forms will undoubtedly challenge the audience's bottom line; But the soundtrack and editing give the work a richer level, making the viewing more enjoyable. There is no doubt that performance is a pleasing existence. "
If you read these reviews carefully, you can find that either you give full praise, but the score is still only Samsung; Either Samsung's evaluation, but in the detailed elaboration, picked out a lot of problems. This self contradictory way of comment just shows the conflict in the eyes of every film critic.
It's not that I don't like it, but I can't say I like it. The whole feeling is very unique.
In fact, the same is true of the other three two-star reviews, but compared with the "Samsung review", the "two-star review" still seems to have the upper hand of dislike.
