152 Enthusiastic response
",,!" Hugo could hardly believe that Nicholas McLalen had really changed his ways. Not only did he not continue to pick and choose Hugo, but he also gave an unbelievable 'color' evaluation of Hugo's work for the second time after "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'", which was really unexpected.
Although before the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng", Nicholas was very optimistic about this movie in the "Los Angeles Times", but after all, it was just a prediction, and after the real film review came out this time, Nicholas was still full of praise for the movie, and even sent a high score of ninety, this kind of "tide" of joy swept in an instant, making Hugo jump up ecstatically directly.
"What I'm saying is the truth!" Joseph took out the "Los Angeles Times" that still smelled of ink, and flipped through the version of the film review and handed it directly to Hugo.
Hugo paced back and forth in the open space because he was too 'excited', and then took the newspaper, still restlessly shaking the ball of his right foot, and scanned it at double speed.
"Courtroom films have always been a very special and important existence of genre films, because they can reflect the profound problems of contemporary society and the perfection of political laws and laws from different aspects, 'Kill a robin' (t0. kill。 a。 Mogbird), 'Kramöf' (Kramer. vs。 kramer), 'the. verdict), 'The Twelve Angry Men (12. aeion), and other works, all of which are more or less involved in the courtroom debate, pushing the art of genre films to a whole new level.
Because this type of film reduces the promotion of violence and focuses on the process of embodying the wisdom of the feet, Cheng Dù, who is psychologically tense and 'intense', has reached another peak, so it has been loved by many people. 'The Heroes of the Righteous Sea' is a very special courtroom film because it involves a case within the military. The army has always had a sense of mystery, and its internal secrets have never been revealed to the public, which also leads the army to always hide the sins of some invisible people.
The strict hierarchy makes it difficult for justice to be done in the army, it is difficult to distinguish between justice and evil with a simple definition, and the line between right and wrong is blurred, which makes the cases within the army full of more thorns. This characteristic makes it easy for the audience to be substituted in the process of watching 'The Heroes of the Righteous Sea', and actively participate in every aspect of the courtroom debate, so that at the end of the story, when the colonel, who acted according to his personal preferences under the pretext of defending the country, is finally brought to justice, a joyful victory makes people applaud.
Hugo Lancaster successfully played the image of a righteous lawyer, who calmly and calmly adhered to the truth, talked eloquently in the courtroom, and 'pressed' step by step, so that the real criminal had nothing to hide; Jack Nicholson once again played the classic villainous image, cunning, 'insidious', murderous, and vicious, but in the end he could not escape the punishment of the law; Demi changed her image as a lady's 'girl' and left a heroic figure on the screen with the image of a military uniform.
The film has made a profound revelation of the equality of human rights, the overflow of power and the sinister nature of human beings, and after watching the movie, it leaves all the audience with unlimited space for reflection, which is definitely a rare masterpiece!"
After reading this film review by Nicholas, Hugo reconfirmed the score, and the remarkable "ninety points" immediately came into view, which made the smile on Hugo's face bloom in an instant, like the sun that was enough to melt the ice and snow, releasing light in Los Angeles in December.
"! !" Hugo excitedly shouted that even after reading the film review, he still couldn't believe that Nicholas actually sang his praises, which was so rare that he couldn't find a more accurate word in his mind to describe the 'agitation' in his heart.
"Hugo, pass it over, hand it over." Alex's love couldn't help but be high, and he waved to Hugo with all his might. Hugo will keep it rolled into a cylinder, then lightly jumps his feet to make a shooting pose, throws the newspaper in his hand to Alex, and let out an irrepressible "huha" exclamation in his mouth.
Looking at Hugo's appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing, this is indeed a thing worth celebrating, you know, the "Los Angeles Times" is not only the highest-selling newspaper on the West Coast, but also the three major newspapers in the United States that are as famous as the "New York Times" and "Washington Post", and the influence is definitely the top. Being able to get such a 'outstanding' evaluation from the "Los Angeles Times" can be said to be a good start for "Yihai Xiongfeng".
Sure enough, Thursday was full of good news one after another, and the "Yihai Xiongfeng", which was not optimistic before its release, became hot in an instant.
Among the first batch of eleven media reviews, eight of them gave positive reviews, and only three of them still gave bad reviews.
&pire)" not only gave a positive rating of 85 points, but also wrote in the review, "It's like an eternal excitement, always reminding people how those stars are born, how those classics are made, and the 'good' director and excellent script combined with a group of outstanding actors can never go wrong." Nicholson is as good as ever, and Lancaster has contributed the most 'fine' performance of his career!"
The Chicago Sun's acclaimed film critic Roger Ebert, on the other hand, has a relatively conservative score of 70, saying that "the film is a little lacking because it doesn't give us enough space to stretch our minds, and some of the obscure details are not enough for us to reflect on the film...... but he also praised, "but Lancaster saved the film as the biggest discovery ...... of the year".
In addition, "USA Today", which gave a bad review of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'", was still written by Mike Clark, but this time he changed his attitude, "The 'outstanding' performances made this film, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin 'Bo' Lack, Kevin 'Bakken's performances are all commendable, and Jack Nicholson's excellence is still undoubted, and what is special is that Hugo Lancaster's 'fine' performance makes the film go from passing to good." In the end, Mike scored 75 points, which belongs to the praise ranks.
Standing in the media list on the opposite side of "Yihai Xiongfeng", it was not surprising to see the name of "Vanity Fair", and the Toronto "Globe and Mail", which had been constantly criticizing "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'", once again put "Yihai Xiongfeng" into hell
"Vanity Fair" believes that "it is an intriguing and in some parts gripping film, but unfortunately it ends up being superficial." Reiner has mastered the art of filmmaking on the surface, but deep down he continues to evade this. Nicholson and Lancaster's performances were buried. They gave a fifty-point evaluation, but at least the last sentence gave some positive to the actors.
But the Globe and Mail's comment was very unkind, "Such a weak performance brought this dying courtroom movie...... It makes people drowsy. The twenty-five point evaluation is almost to the bottom, and it can be seen that they hate "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'female' person" but hate the "Yihai Xiongfeng" even more.
"Have I ever offended the Globe and Mail?" Hugo looked at the bright red "twenty-five points" and frowned involuntarily, although the eight media gave praise, but he just couldn't take his eyes off the three bad comments.
This kind of situation is very strange, maybe others have praised a hundred sentences, but an unreasonable criticism can ruin all the previous good moods. Hugo tried to keep his attention on the praise, but failed, and his eyes were always wandering in the direction of "The Globe and Mail" and "Vanity Fair", even though Joseph had thrown the newspaper in the trash.
"Hey, man, you have to know that there are seven media outlets that give movies a score of 75 or more." Of the eight positive media outlets, only the Chicago Sun gave 70 points, and the others all scored very "outstanding", which Joseph emphasized in an attempt to comfort Hugo.
Hugo breathed a long sigh of relief, he still minded the three badly criticized newspapers. But in the end, Hugo closed his eyes and took a deep breath to let himself retract, "Yes, we should see the positives." ”
Charlize smiled beside him, "No one can please everyone, can they?" Even God has people who hate him. "Don't try to please everyone, because no one is perfect. This is true, and it is especially important for public figures to keep in mind.
Hugo looked at Charlize and savored this sentence, he knew the truth here, but he was just getting in touch with this qiē now, he still needed a little time to digest it, and he needed more experience to understand and understand this truth. Hugo smiled at Charlize with a big smile, "That's true, because I'm not perfect, am I?" It's a very difficult task to compare it to God......"
Hugo's tone finally relaxed a little, and several other people also 'showed' smiles. Hugo raised his right hand and waved it gently, "I'm going to find a theater tomorrow to watch" Yihai Xiongfeng "Is anyone willing to join me?"
Tomorrow is the day of the full release of "Yihai Xiongfeng" in North America, Hugo wants to enter the cinema to watch the movie in person, on the one hand, it is to experience the audience's senses of the movie, not the cheers gathered by the movie 'fans' at the premiere, but the real feelings of ordinary movie audiences; on the other hand, it is also to directly look at the attendance rate of the movie and see how much box office pressure on his shoulders is.
There are many differences between "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Smell the 'Woman'", but the most important point is that Universal Pictures has no hope for the "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'", and the result is an unexpected surprise; And Columbia Pictures hoped that "Yihai Xiongfeng" could achieve box office success from the beginning, which made the box office an unavoidable topic.
Hugo is now feeling the pressure, and perhaps that's why he cares so much about the bad comments.
"Me!" Joseph, Carl, Alex, and Charlize all raised their hands, but then Charlize said, "You're in for a treat." After a pause, he added, "There are also popcorn 'flowers' and coke." ”
The second half of this sentence immediately attracted the four boys to look over, Charlize is a model, they have always stayed away from Coke, and so is popcorn 'Flower'. Charlize shrugged his shoulders and rightfully said, "A movie theater without popcorn and Coke is not a movie." ”
The four men thought so.
