The praise from The Hollywood Reporter and The New York Times gave "Sleepless in Seattle" a good place in the first "wave" of reviews.

People will not forget the "New York Times" harshness on Hugo Lancaster, East Coast and West Coast films, music and other aspects belong to two different cultural circles, which also makes the East Coast news media always be more strict with filmmakers from Los Angeles base camps, and similarly, the Oscars with Los Angeles blood in their blood are not very friendly to East Coast filmmakers, Martin Scorsese, Top filmmakers like Woody Allen, who was born and raised in New York, will have a hard time finding a vantage point at the Oscars.

Therefore, this time, the "New York Times" actually looked at "Sleepless in Seattle" differently, which obviously made people more interested in this movie, what kind of chick movie can be so respected by industry insiders.

Seven of the first eight reviews that came out after the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle" were praised, and only one was bad, with the highest score of 95 from the New York Times and the lowest score of 50 from USA Today.

It's "USA Today" again, this magazine was dissatisfied with the two movies "Smell the Fragrance of the 'Woman'" and "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", and this time it spoke ill of "Sleepless in Seattle", "A typical Epron-style old-fashioned love story, similar sparks 'flowers' make people tasteless", but I don't know if this magazine is professionally against things and not people, or maliciously against Hugo.

After the premiere, "Sleepless in Seattle" unexpectedly became the darling of movie screens in the last week of June, a surprise situation that surprised Columbia Pictures, at which point they began to wonder if the first week of release was too small, but even if they regretted it, it was too late to revise it.

On Friday, June 25, the movie was officially released in 1,600 theaters across the United States! The second wave of commentary then swept the major newspapers and media on Saturday.

The Los Angeles Times seems to have changed its direction after the Golden Globes, and Nicholas McKellen, a film journalist who has become famous in the past two years, has repeatedly praised Hugo, and this time, as the only two media outlets with a positive attitude before the release of "Sleepless in Seattle", the "Los Angeles Times" immediately raised its eyebrows after its release.

"'Hmm...... I'm going to get up from my 'bed' every morning and keep breathing all day, and after a while, I'm ...... You don't have to remind yourself to get out of bed and breathe. After a while, I'm ...... I won't remember those sweetnesses anymore. This confession from Sam is so simple, so plain, no choking, no grief, just a loneliness, but it easily outlines that deep affection. The listeners wept, Anne and the cinema audience.

This is not a film that relies on the novelty of the plot to win, but the 'refinement' of the details is a height that many films cannot reach. In the movie, Anne's favorite movie is 'Jin' and Yu's 'League', she and her colleagues sit at home while watching this movie while chanting classic lines, and can't help but burst into tears, in fact, this is the portrayal of everyone who is crazy about love. Also, at the end of the story, the Empire State Building guard smiles and says, 'That movie is my wife's favorite,' which is the most beautiful, moving, and heartwarming love story in the world."

When Sam and his friends were partying at home, when Sam said that a 'woman' he didn't know asked him to meet on the top floor of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day, Sam's 'female' and 'sexual' friends immediately thought of the 'golden' and 'jade' 'alliance', put down the knife and fork they were eating, and reminisced about the classic plot intoxicated; Sam, on the other hand, was indifferent to his male 'sexual' friend. But when the two big men said 'The Twelve. dirty。 dozen)', but the 'excited' moved like a child's hands, and the 'female' person watched from the side, puzzled, and left angrily.

Actually, this is the difference between a man and a 'woman', because they are different creatures in the first place. Perhaps, when men and 'women' saw the movie "Sleepless in Seattle", they probably had the same reaction, and the "women" were moved by the heart-warming telepathy in the movie, but men couldn't understand how such a movie could be called good.

I'm a man, but I have to admit that I was touched by this movie. It's not because of the 'wave' love, but because this movie makes me want to believe that love still exists, even if it's not so 'wave' perfect in real life, but at least I'm willing to believe it. Maybe I won't cry, but I'll give this movie my applause.

There are too many unpredictable unknowns in life, which makes us have to stop and look at the present in a hurry, only to realize that those who once cherished have long since disappeared and disappeared on this road of life without turning back. There is no way we can change the past, but we can cherish the present and thus change the future, so don't forget to grab the hand of the person next to you at this time and move on.

The night I watched the movie, I didn't cry, I just stayed up all night. I was thinking about Sam's answer to the radio when he asked, 'What is your wife's charm?' and he said, 'How long is your show?' ’”

"How long is a movie, how short is a life." Nicholas used such a title to make a footnote to his comment, if before the movie was released, Nicholas himself was a little unsure, then after watching the movie, he was really sure: Hugo is indeed a 'colorful' actor, and he is walking side by side towards the future with him, who knows, maybe one day in the future, Nicholas will find out that among the many friends around him, there is a place for Hugo.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times didn't miss out on the film's 'fine' brilliance either, and for the film itself, he believes that "Ephron has injected a strong nostalgic touch of the fifties into this romance film, which is hard to put down." "A score of 75 is not high, but for a chick movie, it is already very good. You must know that it is difficult for classic movies of the same genre to exceed the limit of 60 points.

Roger focused more on the performances of the two actors, "Lancaster's performance is extremely 'fine', showing the grief and loneliness after the loss of his wife, and the rough but sincere fatherly love for his son, which makes people see that he is different from the delicacy in any previous film; Relatively speaking, Ryan's performance continued the previous routine, and even a little less crisp, she had many opportunities to show her inner delicacy and intricacies, but all of them were swallowed up by the still sweet smile at the corner of her mouth, which was regrettable. In the comparison with Lancaster, Ryan is far behind, even if it is a love movie, Lancaster still gives a 'fine' and brilliant performance, continuing the previous strong recovery momentum. ”

In this regard, Roger also thinks that the spark between Hugo Lancaster and Meg Ryan is very convincing and has become another important reason for the audience to enter the cinema.

Three of the four major professional magazines in the film industry are full of praise for "Sleepless in Seattle", and the most serious "Variety" is no exception. However, compared with the other three, "Variety" still continues its usual rigorous style.

"For a movie, this is a shallow story, and the lack of content has caused the overall quality of the film to drop a notch compared to 'When Harry Met Sally', but for a romance movie, this is a 'fine' story, enough to become a memorable masterpiece in film history.

Just like the men in the movie laughed at the 'female' people for crying when they watched chick movies like 'Jin' and 'Yu' 'Meng', their own feelings for war movies also made 'female' people feel incredible. In fact, for many people, including me, I don't understand why a 'woman' would collapse her tear ducts because of a seemingly and unrealistic late-night emotional radio program, and she set off on an irresistible magic switch in her life, which seems to have a constant fate, but 'Sleepless in Seattle' gives us an answer.

Because that's love. Sober people have to laugh at such stupidity and stupidity, but real love is composed of countless coincidences, accidents, and inadvertence, just like our life, you never know if there will be a car accident at the next intersection, and you also don't know if the person behind the café is your destined lover. Life, love, is made up of countless ifs, and it is also full of misunderstandings, accidents, misses, and so-called fate. Maybe it's hypocritical, but that's what it is.

While we are watching this film, we are not so much looking at the stories of the two protagonists as we are looking at our own past, present and future. We used to trust our instincts for a moment, but then real life reminds us that the burst of lightning can illuminate a certain night, but not the future, and many times, intuition is just a search for a sustenance for the emptiness and haste in our hearts, so we will laugh at those who give up bread for love, complacent thinking that they have found the 'Walter' in their hearts, and laugh at Anne's stupid abandonment of 'Walter' in favor of Sam.

But who knows, after abandoning dreams and sustenance, we just live for the sake of living, love becomes money, food and shelter, and the pale powerlessness of the 'spirit' life makes us become the walking dead and 'meat', so does a qiē still have the meaning of saving zài?

'Sleepless in Seattle' is like a mischievous deconstruction that shows the most incredible things in the most delicate way in front of everyone, some will laugh at it, some will despise it, some will disdain it, but again, some will praise it, some will agree with it, some will wake up to it, this is not only the difference between men and 'women', but also between people.

Love is magic. Can you believe it? Or rather, would you like to believe it? ”
