Chapter 1305 1305 The Focus of the Noise

Who is the murderer? What kind of sparks did the assignments and partners of the three actors, Morgan, Brad, and Hugo, burst out? The most important thing is that it is absolutely rare for Roger to call a "great" work. The "Pulp Fiction" that was praised as "great" last time is still affecting the cultural trend of the whole United States, so this time How will it be?

All of this has become the focus of the most exciting topic after the release of "Seven Deadly Sins".

Roger did not directly state the roles of the three protagonists, but he was full of praise for the performances of the characters, which also stimulated the curiosity of the audience. Especially after the premiere, the audience who participated in the premiere were all silent, refusing to discuss the plot, but repeatedly stressed that "spoilers are not fun, and you must go to the cinema to watch it yourself." This was originally true, but following the audience's incessant praise for the movie, it was a bit annoying: You keep saying it looks good, but you don't say why, it makes people curious and anxious!

Obviously, the audiences who have participated in the premiere are very proud of this effect. They enjoy the superiority that they know the ending, and also enjoy the unbearable anxiety of other people. Schadenfreude when frightened.

Although there are also a small number of people who can't hide their words, the spoilers are revealed in advance, but in the era when the Internet has not yet become popular, the dissemination of news is obviously controlled by the mainstream media, so the real ending is always a secret for most audiences. Almost all the media cooperated with the propaganda strategy of the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew and avoided talking about the ultimate murderer, which also inflamed the audience's curiosity to a new height.

What's even more annoying is that the media have praised the movie one after another!

Us Weekly rated it 90, saying in its review, "It's a funny, shocking, shrewd, dirty, very disturbing work - you probably don't like what you watch. Yes, but you will definitely be affected by this story!"

This kind of comment content is also unpredictable, "you may not like what you see"? But "US Weekly" gave it a high score of 90. Isn't this a contradiction? However, it is not surprising to think about the profound social discussion triggered by the "Los Angeles Times": works that touch socially sensitive nerves are never so easy to like, but no one can deny the profound and Wonderful.

"There is no doubt that this is a very 'disgusting' work." The Hollywood Reporter's review is also very intriguing, and with a high score of 88, it is even more interesting and exciting. people's curiosity.

The New York Times joined the bandwagon, "It's unquestionably thought-provoking and thrilling, but you'd be hard-pressed to get too much 'joy' out of a movie." Eighty-five points Reviews also gave the film positive reviews.

It is worth noting that thriller and suspense movies have never been popular with film critics, just as horror movies are always called "shoddy" and action movies are always considered "empty plots". Subject to its own subject matter, it is rare for works with an average score of 60 points. For example, "Silence of the Lambs" received an average score of 84 points that year, which is still a film history record, so this work finally Also achieved a grand slam at the Oscars.

Objectively speaking, there is still a gap between "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Silence of the Lambs" from the perspective of film technology, but even so, "The Seven Deadly Sins" has still received such high evaluations from film critics, and many authoritative media have unanimously given it. With a score of more than 80, this is even more rare.

"The Wall Street Journal" gave an 80-point evaluation, and said in the comments, "The coherent storyline covers up many plot loopholes, but it still creates a sensational, thought-provoking case, and reflections after quieting down Be the biggest success of the movie."

In addition, the "San Francisco Chronicle" also gave it an 80. "This thriller and suspense work is permeated with a disturbing and morbid atmosphere from beginning to end."

It can be seen from the many media comments on "Seven Deadly Sins" that the score of this thriller and suspense film is bound to be incomparable to that of "Schindler's List", "Pulp Fiction" and "Before the Sunrise". There was a lot of praise, and at the same time, this work also ushered in a lot of controversy. This is a work with many contradictions. Even the media that praised the film used contradictory words as evaluations. Obviously, this It is a work that requires people to calm down, think slowly, and savor it carefully, which has caused huge differences in the media's views on the work.

The San Francisco Chronicle's 50-point rating was the lowest of the first critics, who considered it "provided that the film is really intriguing, but the whole thing is sticky, wet, pretentious, and not scary in the slightest." The merciless film critics said that the film was almost useless, but they still agreed with the "intriguing" core of the film's theme, which is indeed very intriguing.

"USA Today" has always been unfamiliar with Hugo, and it is rare to see them expressing appreciation for Hugo, and this time is no exception. "Director David Fincher tried to create a more gloomy, depressed, fearful atmosphere, trying to Digging out the deep psychological emotions of serial killers beyond the dark and scary style, but the results are self-defeating, the story is inappropriate and the theme is ambiguous."

The 63-point evaluation also clearly shows the newspaper's attitude towards the "Seven Deadly Sins".

The "Houston Chronicle" also gave 63 points. Their evaluation was the first batch of hot film reviews after the movie premiere. As the top ten newspapers nationwide, its influence cannot be underestimated. "The Seven Deadly Sins" didn't catch on either. "It's a loss of sight -- but a captivating, attractive piece of it, a film full of first-rate talent forced into an absurd hybrid that can It can be felt that the director is struggling to make the nonsense believable, but unfortunately, his efforts are not enough."

Interestingly, "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle" and "New York Post" are all leaders of the blocking alliance, and the "San Francisco Chronicle" also joined the blocking alliance for a time, but this time after the release of "Seven Deadly Sins", The New York Post shut up to everyone's surprise, which was so unexpected that the Houston Chronicle took its place as the leading critic of the "Seven Deadly Sins."

"The director tried to connect the whole story with religious beliefs, the dark and hopeless city streets, the rainy weather, the old police officer's disappointment with the indifference of human feelings, and the fateful ending of the tragedy, all of which make people can't help but start to look at themselves and this society, human beings. Is it impossible to escape the fate of these seven deadly sins? From this point of view, the film is indeed impressive, but the theme that the film tries to express is too pale.

The seven deadly sins are actually the most basic human nature. To say that these are all sins is to deny human nature itself, and it is a fallacy of 'people are born with sin'. The most people in the movie seem guilty and deserve to be tried, but these are actually the extreme prejudice of the murderer's own wishful thinking.

Human nature is not sin, but extreme human nature is the root of sin. Most of us ordinary people are still far from that extreme human nature, and there is no need to rise to the height of judgment on ourselves. Instead, many times we should try to understand this nature.

In the shaping of characters, it is obviously not the director's specialty.

The old police officer's sophistication and pessimism do not have enough details to pave the way. Except for an ex-girlfriend who was mentioned once, such a stable and weather-beaten person fell into confusion for such a simple reason, which is obviously too superficial. What's even more ridiculous is that the seemingly in-depth conversation between the old police officer and the young police officer's bar actually hit the old police officer's outlook on life, which seems too simple.

The personality of the young police officer is even more of a failure. Apart from being impulsive or impulsive, such an impulsive character is unconvincing under the simple and weak interpretation of the actor, and the transition of emotions is too simple. The love between him and his wife is a few words. It is outlined between, but it is still not enough to promote the plot.

The murderer even more so. In the limited time, he did not even give any account of the murderer's background. His seemingly god-like lectures were long and boring, and his self-proclaimed superior status was only a marginal person living in a dilapidated apartment. The plot did its best to show the wit and cleverness of the murderer, but it was obviously ruined by the bad ending.

Of course, this is still a work worth discussing purely from the reflections triggered by the film; but from the perspective of the film's completion, it is a failure. "

The "Houston Chronicle" can be said to have severely criticized the film, but it still gave an evaluation of 63 points, which is also in line with many points of view in its film review.

The review by the "Houston Chronicle" was criticized by the "Chicago Tribune", which many people did not expect. "This is a movie, not a 'reminiscence of the past.'"

This is really unbearable. The meaning of the "Chicago Tribune" is that the length of the film is limited, and the director uses enough details to outline the character's personality in a limited time, which is very rare. The "Seven Deadly Sins" really The core idea is people's reflection on social indifference - and this is also recognized by the "Houston Chronicle". As for the characters themselves, they completely need to be supported by the actors' performances. From this point of view, the "Chicago Tribune" praised the "Seven Deadly Sins" in this way.

Although it is said that there is controversy among film critics, there are praises and criticisms, which also makes the discussion around the "seven deadly sins" in full swing, but in general, many words of praise have become the main theme, in addition to this , Among these contradictory but excellent evaluations, praise for actors can be seen everywhere.

Obviously, no one wants to miss a head-to-head matchup between Hugo and Brad.
