The debate about "in the cloud" is as fierce as ever. On the one hand, mainstream film critics believe that Evan Bell is a reflection on the meaning of life. As the lines in the film say, "Everyone needs a co-pilot", which is An interpretation of the meaning of life; but on the other hand, there is a tiny remark that Evan Bell is an irony of the so-called "meaning of life", because Ryan, who has thought about the meaning of life, is still dragging his suitcase in the end , standing in front of the flight information screen and embarking on a journey to the cloud again, this is a sadness and an irony for those who think about the meaning of life.

​​

This is the greatest charm of Evan Bell's films. It's hard to say definitively: This is what Evan Bell wants to express, because in the eyes of audiences with different experiences, movies will always have different interpretations. This kind of reflection Too personal and too profound.

​​

"In the Cloud" aroused a burst of praise from the mainstream media, and the madness of the critics even pushed the work to the position of the first-seeded contestant in the awards season. The rumors are completely opposite, which shows how unforgettable Evan Bell's grasp of the movie is.

​​

"The clever arrangement of humor and emotion, the brilliant drama comedy, the familiar but unusual protagonist's charm is irresistible, the joy and lament of life arrive unexpectedly and the sense of speed to capture traces makes people feel like flying, can't stop", "Brightness and darkness, joy and sorrow, fiction and reality and other opposing elements are almost impossible to enhance and complement each other", "The best story that reflects the current era, the bottom of the story and the director is the almost numb modern people's true and clear 'Pain', what a perfect cut-in", "The beautiful scenes and colorful group portraits make the audience linger and forget to return"...

​​

"Evan Bell brings out the charm of an elegant business man who is a smart gentleman with a lot of flaws. Blake Lively brings a fresh, exciting and lovely and youthful spring breeze to the work. Charlize Theron has used it in recent years. The very rare 'arrogant romance' charming eyes conquered the big screen", "In the director's position, Evan Bell's increasingly mature lens language and abundant picture colors outline a shocking deep reflection, heavy and cold. , cruel, but without losing the yang"...

​​

Including "Entertainment Weekly", "Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", "Variety", "Wall Street Journal" and more than eighteen authoritative organizations have given a perfect score of 100, although there are "Premier" The magazines that stand in the opposite position gave it an ultra-low rating of 65 points, but the mainstream media almost reached a consensus on "the high artistry and completion of works in the golden age of Hollywood".

​​

The comprehensive score of the media has reached a high score of 88, and the freshness of the Rotten Tomatoes website is 92%, so there is no doubt that the film is in the best picture, director, leading actor, two supporting actresses, The competitiveness of important awards such as adaptation of the script has instantly become the number one seed of the awards season in the Z fierce year.

​​

In fact, two weeks ago, "Weakness", the first work of Studio Eleven's awards season this year, was the first to debut in 3,000 theaters. It can be seen from the strategy of the Eleventh release that this is not a film that focuses on The works that make a difference in the awards season are mostly works that hope to achieve good results at the box office.

​​

"Weakness" is the second work that Eleven Studio has collaborated with Sandra Bullock this year. The first "Fake Marriage" has become one of the most shining dark horses this year. Although "Weakness" only invested 2,900 10,000, but the inspirational theme of rugby is also valued by many people as this year's "Never Compromise"... This realistic inspirational film won Julia Roberts an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

​​

After the release of "Weakness", the comprehensive score of 63 points in the media and the freshness of 73% of Rotten Tomatoes can be seen, the praise still prevails, the overall evaluation of the film is not good, but the heroine For Sandra Bullock, she has won the highest level of praise in her career. "The heroine Sandra Bullock hides her extremely enthusiastic performance in her calmness, which is heartwarming and can be called the peak of her acting skills." , which also earned Sandra Bullock a lot of voices during awards season.

​​

But the problem is that the weakness of the overall quality of "Weakness" is more obvious than last year's "Rachel's Wedding;", and "Weakness" is a work that aims at the box office, so the box office performance also affects its performance in the awards season. further performance.

​​

"The Weakness" premiered the same week as "Twilight: New Moon," and after "Twilight: Twilight" had an exceptionally good premiere last year, this year's second "New Moon" hits theaters. , brought the fans' support for idol movies to the extreme, breaking countless historical records, and the data of 142 million in the opening weekend made many people fall through the glasses.

​​

However, under the pressure of "New Moon", "Weakness" performed very well. The opening weekend's $34 million result not only beat the previous week's disaster blockbuster "2012", won the runner-up, but also only It was a one-week box office, and the paper cost was won back, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

​​

In the following week, "New Moon" plummeted by 70% in box office figures, while "Weakness"'s box office rose by 18%. In this comparison, "New Moon" beat by 42 million "Weakness" of 40 million, won the North American weekend box office rankings.

​​

After entering December, "In the Cloud" was screened in 15 theaters, and due to the lack of a strong box office hit this week, the battle for the top spot between "Weakness" and "New Moon" also became intensified.

​​

The "Weakness" with a 50% drop in the box office successfully overwhelmed "Crescent Moon", which dropped by as much as 65%, in the third week of its release! Counterattack to the top, won the North American weekend box office chart in the first week of December. Although "New Moon" has created countless historical records, the performance of "Weakness" still eclipses "New Moon", which was drowned out by critics. Three weeks into its release, "Weakness" has racked up $130 million at the cumulative box office!

​​

The box office explosion of "Weakness" not only refreshed the highest box office record of a sports drama film in movie history created by "Rocky 4" at the end of January, but also achieved the rise of Sandra Bullock twice within one year, officially announced The return of the box office queen. From such data, it can be seen that although there are no more amazing evaluations in the film critics, the word of mouth of the audience still makes the film achieve exceptionally good results at the box office.

​​

On the one hand, "Weakness" has a touching story and a football theme that is very popular in the United States. On the other hand, the movie also prepares enough sports scenes with excellent audio-visual effects. The balance between viewing and entertainment is very accurate. This also made the film's box office break 100 million directly within three weeks of its release, and showed the vigor of making big strides towards the 200 million threshold.

​​

The counterattack of "Weakness" and the slump of "Crescent Moon" are the highlights of this week's North American box office charts, and the performance of "On the Cloud" has attracted indiscriminate attention throughout North America. The box office of a single hall is 85,000 US dollars, which is the best performance of the single hall box office among Evan Bell's personal works after "Brokeback Mountain", "Adapted Screenplay" and "Juno". This once again refreshed the single-house box office history chart of live-action movies.

​​

"On the Cloud" was released in 15 theaters and earned a weekend box office of $1,275,000. This achievement was abruptly among the top 15 of this week's North American movie box office charts, ranking No. 1. Thirteen.

​​

Although Evan Bell's works have always had very good box office results in a single venue, the outstanding performance of "In the Cloud" proudly becoming the box office champion of this week's single venue has become a "weak point" in the North American film market this week. , "Crescent Moon" works on a par! Let Evan Bell's title of "King of Topic" has been proved once again.

​​

After winning the praise of professional film critics, "On the Cloud" has achieved particularly dazzling data at the box office, a good start, which has also made the film critics' respect for this work to a high point. , to become the real number one seed.

​​

In the past few years, in fact, Eleven Studio has won the so-called "number one seed" title several times, such as "perfume" such as "the blood is coming", but these praises are relative. That's right. "Perfume" met "The Departed" that year, plus the counterattack of "Little Sunshine", so the overall situation was very chaotic, and there was no real number one seed: and "Blood is coming" "In that year, we encountered "No Country for Old Men" and "Atonement". The first half of the top seed belonged to "Atonement", and the second half was shared between "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood Will Come".

​​

But this year is different. After the release of "On the Cloud", the "exclusion" of the Eleventh Studio seemed to disappear overnight. The entire circle pushed "On the Cloud" to the top seed position, and the voice was far ahead. Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," Lee Daniels' "Precious," and Peter Dougt's "Flying House" became overnight front-runners for this year's awards season.

​​

This is not unusual. Evan Bell is now one of the most powerful directors in the circle. After "There Will Be Blood" and "Juno" achieved the best director Oscar win, he has also become the most ruthless role in the awards season.

​​

And this time, the quality of "In the Cloud" is not inferior to any of Evan Bell's works. The superb performance of group portraits is absolutely Oscar-level, and even because of the economic crisis environment, the work has won an unprecedented high level. The voice, naturally, "in the cloud" has become the number one seed player in the true sense!
