Chapter 178： express their opinions

How should the media describe it? If Gu Luobei, an ex-reporter, was asked to compare,

He would say that the media is a swarm of sharks swarming at the smell of blood, and New York is a swarm of sharks. Fear that the world will not be chaotic, is often a derogatory term, but for the media, it is a compliment, the best appreciation for their work.

This is true even in professional music and film critics. When one applause rises, more applause will follow, and at the same time, there will be countless dissenting voices making waves. Only when a hundred schools of thought contend, can news sell for money. Therefore, in music and film reviews, it is absolutely impossible to say that everyone likes it. Even if you like it in your heart, in order to sell it, you will say you don't like it in the news and yell at it.

This is the media.

For the "death hallucination", you can predict it with your toes. The first thing to rise must be the scolding. Think about the situation when Gu Luobei first saw this electric nose at Sundance: he The male protagonist didn't react to what the movie was talking about for a while. It is conceivable what will happen to other audiences and the media.

"Premier" released a film review at the first time, "The plot of plain water, bad acting skills, and a mess." This sentence film review came from the pioneer reporter of the "Inverted Bell School", Elliot Carter.

There was the insult of the opening ceremony of "Sniper Phone Booth" before, and the ridicule in Alaska during the shooting of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night". Elliott Carter really didn't like Gu Luobei. This time, it finally came to Elliott Carter's realm where "Death Illusion" was released, allowing him to express his "opinion" on Gu Luobei in a fair and honest manner.

Of course, Elliott Carter can't represent the voice of the entire magazine "Premier". After all, "Premier" is a fairly authoritative magazine, and every official comment of theirs must have a basis, otherwise it will be messed up. . However, if Elliott Carter made the comments in his own name, there would be no problem: after all, America is a country of free speech, isn't it?

In addition, Elliott Carter also published a long film review on "Death Illusion", although he is not a professional film critic, but as a senior reporter, his review can be considered a weight.

In the long commentary, Elliott Carter extended the sentence in the one-sentence commentary with a lengthy critique of "Death Illusion." From shooting techniques, editing, layout, and then extending to core ideas and sublimating ideas, criticizing from head to toe, the film criticism is useless.

Although Elliott Shite has personal feelings, he also has to eat and work, and it is impossible to confuse black and white and talk nonsense there. Therefore, Elliott Carter started to write after careful research, not just to speak vernacular, and the reporter's intuition for many years, this long review is indeed a clear and thorough analysis, and actually got supported by many audiences.

This is the way everything is. There are two sides to one body. If there is a positive, there must be a negative. Although Elliott Carter is an "inverted Belle", his long commentary analysis is reasonable, but it really speaks to the hearts of many viewers.

I don't know how influential Elliott Tente's comments are, but the result is that even with the "Premier" comment on "Death Illusion" is negative, to be accurately described, it is more negative than positive, and the overall rating is only five. 5 points, just over half of the 10 out of 10, not even a passing grade.

But it turns out that Elliot Carter and Gu Luobei should hit the eight-character foul play. A very ordinary cult film, most of the time, there are praises and criticisms, which is very normal. The same problem can be created from different angles and get different results. But this time, various media seem to be very optimistic about "Death Illusion", and the praise comments occupy the vast majority.

"Movie Review", which has always paid little attention to independent films, actually commented on "Death Illusion" at the first time this time, which is obviously an uncommon phenomenon. More importantly, "Movie Review" actually put "Death Illusion" in the recommendation column to recommend it to readers, which is even more unusual.

"This is a poetic film. Of course it doesn't refer to epic grandeur, but to the bright and intoxicating mood on the basis of tragedy. A sixteen-year-old high school student is caught up in another A world, like "Alice in Wonderland," in a heartbreaking "crazy world" (rd), experiences the sympathetic warmth of the meaning of existence. In the end, everything goes back to the way it was before, as if nothing had happened.

However, the end of the story is not "nothing happened." This sixteen-year-old boy saw too much madness and darkness, and finally left this crazy world (rd).

When we see that life is still the same and move on, the shock of the heart will not end with the end of the movie.

For a director's debut, "Death Illusion, it's not a simple show, it's simply amazing! Richard Kelly, with a limited budget, uses a few actors to tell a complete story: It may not be possible to describe it completely, it should be said that it is too wonderful.

Tony Duck's Evan Bell shines on the big screen. His skeptical spirit, dark heart, a little bit of neuroticism, and a little violent tendencies, even his sensitive introversion when he is with his girlfriend, is like a wonderful book, which is simply fascinating. Evan-Bell's body has both the ignorance and curiosity of a young boy, the gloom and depression of an adolescent boy, and the enormous pressure that he cannot bear at his age. They are perfectly combined and shine through the whole film. Movies also light up this summer.

The line at the end of the movie, "Crazy World (rld, in Evan Bell's slightly hoarse voice, murmured in the depths of our souls, the sadness penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The irresistible fate of Tony's "crazy world", and the loneliness from beginning to end, brought tears to our eyes.

"Death Illusion, there are too many amazing things, and too many unique things, it is determined that it is a stylized cult movie, which cannot be loved by most audiences, but it does not Prevent it from becoming a classic." This film review from "Film Review" was written by Chris Fairbanks, who was amazing for Gu Luobei at the Sundance Film Festival, and he did not write a relevant film review last time. , just wrote a separate film review about Gu Luobei. But this time, Chris Fairbank wrote a review of the film, which obviously represented the official position of the magazine, and gave it a recommendation of 8.5 out of 10, which shows that this top film magazine has praised the film. .

And "Entertainment Weekly", where William Wood is located, once again specially wrote film reviews, which is different from William Wood's previous focus on Gu Luobei. "Entertainment Weekly" this time greatly praised the style of the film itself.

...Death Illusion, set in the 1980s, is also a retrospective of the films and music of the 1980s, and every detail of the film exudes a deadly charm.

Richard Kelly pays homage to 1980s cinema with this film.

The first is Zemeckis' "Back to the Future 2", which borrows a little bit of the concept of parallel universes: the second is Spielberg's "Alien" The memory of the bicycle under the moon: again, James Cameron The "Abyss" borrowed a little bit of water snake special effects.

The most classic is Tony and Gretchen going to a night movie. It's Sam Raimi's "People Playing Ghosts." There were only two young people in the huge movie theater, and Gretchen fell asleep against the back of the chair.

Dawn falls on the screen, the sun is rising, the sad aria is whispering, the sun turns into a winning bid, the picture is distorted, and the light is radiant. It actually opens a door of time and space. What I saw in front of me was a Greek cup staged for the universe.

When Tony walked out of the movie theater, the neon sign at the door said "The Last yòu Lou of Christ" and "Death Illusion", which is not only similar in structure to this movie, but Tony is simply a reborn **** in the 1980s. , Frank the rabbit was apparently inspired by "The Shining."

The fatal charm of the 1980s is also reflected in the melodious melody of "Crazy World", Evan Bell's clear and slightly hoarse voice, sad and peaceful. Our world is indeed crazy, but also lonely.

Story, technology, theme, actors "Death illusion, it's perfect!" This film review of "Entertainment Weekly" obviously also highly praised "Death illusion...."

In addition to this, The Hollywood Reporter said that "Orson-Wells was twenty-five when he filmed "Citizen Kane ", and Richard Kelly was also twenty-five when he filmed "Death Illusion" Five years old, the appearance of a genius!" The "variety" comment was on Gu Luobei "Evan-Bell, after the music, made everyone stunned again, his light illuminated "Tony-Dake (pun intended , referring to both the movie and the protagonist), . …,

The comments of "Vanity Fair" are relatively calm. Some "the praise of the St. Cass Film Festival is worthy of the name." In addition, "Chicago Reader", "Los Angeles Times", "Bōston Globe", "Rolling Stone", "New York Times" and other magazines All have written articles praising "Death Illusion".

Judging from the number of media comments on "Death Illusion", it can be seen that this time is already different from the historical trajectory, because Gu Luobei's relationship "Death Illusion" has received several times more attention than the previous life, especially The indiscriminate bombardment of the New York media made the film receive far more attention than expected.

The only thing that matches the previous life is the review of the movie. There are praises and criticisms, but the voice of praise still prevails. There are not many critics headed by "Premier": of course, there is also the appreciation of Gu Luobei. , called "genius, ... the voice of the **** can indeed be regarded as one after another.
