Chapter 595： classic monster

After all, the role is to serve the movie.

Evan Bell said this when he was filming "The Mechanical Enemy". At the beginning, "The Mechanical Enemy" paid too much attention to Will Smith's personal charm, thus ignoring the shaping of the male protagonist and curbing the film's further growth at the box office. develop. This time, Captain Jack Sparrow, who was portrayed in "Pirates of the Caribbean", stole the limelight of the entire movie with his own charm. To be precise, everyone only remembers one Captain Jack Sparrow, and the others. All are clouds.

But "Pirates of the Caribbean" has successfully won everyone's word of mouth, why?

Because the movie is enough for the portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, but the character exists relying on the movie. Although the character's personal charm steals the style of the whole movie, the character and the movie form a perfect fusion and promote each other, thus The success of the role has led to the reputation of the film. Then it will be logical. To put it simply, "Pirates of the Caribbean" gave full play to the charm of the characters, while the "Mechanical Enemy" in the previous life only relied on the charm of the actors.

This was mentioned in a review published in The New Yorker.

"No matter how magnificent the special effects of a movie are, it is in vain, but if a commercial blockbuster can have a decent plot and a unique character, then the success of the work can be predicted. "Pirates of the Caribbean, whether it can become a classic is still unknown. No conclusion can be drawn, it will take time to prove it. But Captain Jack Sparrow, a read-only file with the genus Garfield, is very likely to become a unique mark that cannot be erased in the history of movies. At least someone wants to surpass the role of pirates. It is almost impossible .

Since the emergence of pirate movies, this type of work has had a market but has never achieved glory. But now, Captain Jack Sparrow, who broke the rules, not only broke people's inherent image of pirates, but also broke the shackles of pirate movies, and successfully set off a craze that only belongs to the evil captain!

Jack Sperry. The success of Long Shaping proves that acting skills cannot be ignored in commercial films. Only one outstanding role can make the big scenes of commercial films no longer empty. When a character like Captain Jack Sparrow appears in a commercial movie that we can empathize with, the kind that is alive and seems to be right in front of us, rather than a paper clown who can only gag and talk shit, then this Commercial movies are out of the realm of "empty, boring, and forgettable."

Apparently, The New Yorker also praised Pirates of the Caribbean.

But extremes meet, it is doomed.

But all the media gave praise to Captain Jack Sparrow, the evildoer, but all the film critics were against Evan Bell when he broke through the prison and created a role that is enough to make film history. .

Elliott Carter wrote this review under the title "When Appearance Outweighs Content".

"The boring plot, the special effects that stop at the first taste, the nondescript scenes and the characters whose appearance is greater than their inner meaning make this "Pirates of the Caribbean" bland.

When a commercial movie loses its plot, it loses special effects and big scenes, and it also loses the connotation of its characters, which is undoubtedly a disaster. "Pirates of the Caribbean, the old-fashioned story of justice over evil, even with the addition of pirates, which is both good and evil, still can't escape the fixed pattern of commercial movies. The focus of the plot is on the pirate captain, which breaks the protagonist's three-way line. balance, thereby reducing a film to a ridiculous one-man show.

Let's go back to the role of Jack Sparrow, the appearance of a rock star, the attention-grabbing **** behavior, and this kind of acting that cuts into the role with appearance is really inferior. People can't help but wonder if Evan Bell has no more tricks to use. After he was given an Oscar statuette for his extraordinary behavior at the beginning of the year, this "acting genius has begun to go downhill. Look at that crazy Jack." One Captain Sparrow can tell: maybe Evan Bell is really incapable of making a breakthrough." In the United States, the naysayers always have a large number of supporters. The number of reposts of Wen Bell's sensationalist and Jiang Langcai's remarks is definitely not small. Among them, the "News of the World" generously reprinted the comments of "Allies", pouring cold water on Jack Sparrow.

Of course, in the overwhelming and overwhelming praise, this little difference is almost negligible. Among the endless praise from the media and commentators for Jack Sparrow, the praise for Evan Bell is even more numerous.

Prior to this, Evan-Bell's popularity in the United States and even in the world came from his identity as a singer. After all, the cumulative sales of the two albums have already approached the number of 20 million, and the attention gained is not one and a half. But on the other hand, Evan Bell's popularity as an actor is simply insignificant.

Take a look at Evan-Bell's currently released films "Death Illusion" and "White Night Chasing the Murderer", although they all have good box office performance, and the ring is won by Evan-Bell among academic professionals. With a high reputation, "Adapting the Screenplay" also made Evan-Bell the youngest male acting award winner in Oscar history.

However, as the media said, as David Greenblatt said, and as Evan Bell knew when he filmed "Death Illusion", niche movies do have supporters, but "minority" always It is a niche, after all, it cannot expand its influence. No matter how many movies like "Death Illusion", they can't bring Evan-Bell the title of "box-office appeal". Although this part of the film is very loyal, it still has great constraints on the further development of Evan Bell's identity as an actor.

Although Evan Bell never cared about the so-called box office appeal, and he never cared about it when he took over the script, it is undeniable that the great success of "Ice Age" and "Sniper Phone Booth" at the box office is still for the The development of Evan Bell has played a role that cannot be ignored. Even "Deadly Identity" earned Evan Bell's respect as a producer, in addition to the high quality of the film, the box office is still a number that has to be said.

However, this time is different. A "Pirates of the Caribbean", a Captain Jack Sparrow, made Evan Bell's actor's popularity soar to the sky, and even surpassed the singer's posture. Just look at the media reviews.

"Variety" magazine said that "Evan Bell makes Captain Jack Sparrow irresistible!" The Los Angeles Times commented that "without Evan Bell, there would be no Captain Jack Sparrow, and there would be no "Caribbean" pirate"

A one-sentence comment from "Vanity Fair" said "Evan Bell, a man who is extremely admired and admired."

The "Hollywood Reporter" commented on the name of a well-known TV series "Everyone loves Evan Bell!" The comment of the "Bōston Globe" was more direct, "Evan Bell, the most beautiful, falls into his charm. After that, you can't come out again."

The "Chicago Reader" used a very vivid metaphor to describe Evan-Bell "Paris, the prince of Troy, for the glamorous Helen of the Spartan king, which led to the final annihilation of Troy: "Pirates of the Caribbean, among the Wen Yibeier smiles all over the city, and then smiles all over the country! Of course, many comments are not worth the "classic evildoer" of "People" Weekly. This adjective has won the applause of countless media colleagues, and summed up Evan Bell's charisma incisively.

Almost overnight, there was only one Evan Bell in the United States. Now, everyone has a direct impression that Evan Bell is everywhere, and his charm has invaded the United States with a devastating trend. It's not that Evan Bell was not popular enough before, but it was because Captain Jack Sparrow of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was too evil, so Evan Bell took the rocket and flew straight into the sky.

More than 60 media have expressed their love for "Pirates of the Caribbean" before and after: From this number, it can be seen that Disney's publicity is huge. The comprehensive score of the media also reached a high score of 7.7.

Among the audience ratings, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has reached 86%. It can be said that the audience praised the film with an overwhelming advantage. And the score on imdb reached a high score of 8.1 overnight, and it broke into the top 100 of the ranking list It can be regarded as a classic victory for commercial films.

This is the first time Evan Bell has won this position since his debut, and it also proves that with the role of Jack Sparrow, Evan Bell has rapidly risen in popularity. Evan Bell stayed in the championship position for six full weeks, only to retreat to the third place near the end of the summer.

Today's Evan Bell is no less powerful as an actor than as a singer. Evan Bell, who is not doing a proper job, has successfully poured over the world's shadow and song with his unique personal charm.

At this moment, does anyone remember the questioning before the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Presumably not. Almost all the media have forgotten that before the movie was released, they were the ones who shouted "this movie must fail", and now they are nonchalantly shouting "Evan Bell works miracles! The classic monster captain is born" as Great tribute to the film. But that's the media, and it's always been that way.
