Another year is coming to an end, and with it the Christmas and New Year holidays. As it has been for the past two years, Miss Genius' new film is coming out at the end of the year - the day after Christmas. Although this movie did not cause countless controversies from the beginning like last year's "The Pianist", both those who liked Angela and those who hated Angela were all looking forward to it, and they bought tickets for the first time. watch.
What happened next was as expected, with almost equal praise and criticism. Many criticisms are completely opposed for the sake of opposition. For example, the previous film critic named Clover Ram, who is known for his pungent criticism, went against the previous implicitness and ridiculed in his column: "The inexplicable plot, Always a neurotic protagonist, Miss Genius seems to have exhausted her talents. The Pentagon should probably consider protesting Angela for driving a math genius mad; Princeton should also make a statement telling everyone that they discourage students from After getting angry, vent it on public property.
Well, the above is a bit too picky, but the plot really develops in such an unknown so-called. We don't see how outstanding Nash is, the game theory was born in the pursuit of girls, and we don't know whether Nash himself should cry or laugh when he sees this - although the idea is very interesting..."
In addition to these, this guy is also extremely mocking for the actors' performances. Say what Russell looks like from the beginning to the end, with his eyes wandering, and did not devote himself to the performance at all; and Kate is still a vase no matter how exaggerated the performance; Paul and Ed are in addition to being neurotic or neurotic. Of all the actors, only Dakota survived, perhaps because of her young age.
All in all, in his opinion, the film was full of holes, and it wasn't worth spending a few dollars to sit in a movie theater for two hours.
Of course, most people still have a positive opinion. An article in the "New York Post" wrote: "This is an excellent film, and the power of human nature runs through the whole story. A person in such a withered and chaotic state of the spiritual world. In the struggle of frenzy and despair, he still did not give up the light of reason, and did not give up the ability of an intelligent creature to observe the world and think about it.
Likewise, the places where the sarcasm was drawn were praised: "I have to admit that the use of chasing girls to explain game theory is a wonderful note, and this simple approach makes it easier for the audience to understand Nash's theory.
It can be seen that Angela has put a lot of thought into this, and has given Nash the reason for his madness and sobriety in a complete and smooth manner. As for the facts, there is no need to investigate too much, after all, this film is not a documentary. "
Interestingly, although there are many people applauding, the two views are unexpectedly evenly matched. This is mainly because most of the film critics' comments are relatively objective and fair, and they do not ignore the shortcomings while praising: "Although Miss Genius announced early on that she would avoid those too controversial, she still did a bit too much. We don't get to see Mr. Nash's anti-social grumpiness and his cruel and dangerous insults and pranks, and we don't get to see the complicated love life of Mr. Nash and his illegitimate child before marrying Alicia. Turning Princeton into a sweet paradise, although people are running around for their own destiny, they all get their own happiness in the end.
Still, it's an excellent movie. Russell Crowe uses his extraordinary concentration to show us a man who lives almost entirely in his own inner world, and he handles the dramatic display of the character's soul like no one else: a vague smile hangs on Nash's mouth, The speech was soft and hesitant, with a southern tone (Nash was growing up in West Virginia). With Russell Crowe's performance, you don't think it's the actor's intention, you think it's a natural result of deep absorption of the character..."
In short, the two viewpoints hold different opinions, and in the media you come and I have a lot of fun arguing. Of course, it is not known whether someone is manipulating behind the scenes for some purpose. Anyway, the box office data has been constantly refreshed since the release.
So in the face of this situation, Angela only wrote a few words on the blog: "This is why I don't want to shoot those controversial details, which will only make people pay attention to the gossip of the characters. Not the story itself. Biographical films are not documentaries, and a good story is always a must.â
"I agree very much with Ed's words, the movie is to tell everyone a story. If you can't tell the story well, no matter how true it is, it will only make people feel awkward." Angela said to Natalie.
During their post-Christmas date, the two went to the cinema to watch "A Beautiful Mind", and while discussing recent reviews and Angela's blog post, they had a small argument about the movie's details and the subject. .
"But it doesn't mean that you can make up stories casually. Otherwise, what's the difference between "Crazy Cello Love" that you hate?" Natalie asked Angela with a half-smile crossed her arms.
Although she knew that she was not a supporter of those picky guys, the girl still replied seriously: "Of course there is a difference, I admit that many things are made up, but this is all based on facts-don't Mrs. Alicia not Do you love Professor Nash and stay by his side? Isn't Professor Nash sober because of Mrs. Alicia?"
Seeing how she was trying to convince herself, Natalie laughed: "Well, well, you're always right. Frankly, I think your way of putting the audience into Nash's mind is simple and interesting, and It's also very clever that you use three characters to interpret his heart, let me think that college alumni should represent... "
"Stop, stop!" Angela quickly raised her hand and made a pause gesture, looking like she had a headache, "Can we not discuss things related to psychology on a date?"
"How can this be?" Natalie immediately looked hurt. "Why can you discuss your movie on a date, but not my psychology?"
"Um... This..." Angela scratched her face left and right, and finally admitted frankly in frustration: "Because every time I discuss this, I will always be speechless by you."
"I'm pretty much like this when discussing movies, right?" Natalie raised her eyebrows.
"That's not the same," Angela curled her lips, seemingly unwilling, "You always have to argue with me for a long time before admitting defeat, and I will raise my hand and surrender before I say a few words."
"Is that so?" Natalie blinked and began to recall, the sleepy feeling on her face was not fake.
Angela couldn't help but clench her fists and wanted to say something, but fortunately Natalie changed the subject at this time: "Okay, say something else... If you could have done this a few years ago, "Snatch and Kidnap" may not fail."
"Unfortunately, I have to tell you, Nat," Angela folded her arms in a relaxed manner, "The reason why "Snatch and Kidnap" failed is to tell stories, not make up stories."
"Well..." Natalie smacked her lips, and suddenly looked at the beach with her hand on the pergola: "We may be able to change the place, don't you think it's a bit chilly? If you continue to blow the sea breeze here, you might catch a cold."
Angela hummed softly, reached out and hugged her from behind, put her head on her shoulder, smelled Natalie's hair and whispered in her ear, "Is it still cold? "
Natalie twisted her body but was not determined: "Be careful of being seen."
"I've dressed up on purpose, and it's not a big problem to be close friends," Angela shrugged disapprovingly, "Besides, which idiot would go to the beach on Long Island at this time to blow air."
"Aren't there two idiots in front of me?" Natalie turned around and looked at her with a half-smile.
Angela couldn't help rolling her eyes: "If you want to carry it again, don't blame me for being rude."
"This really scares me, should I call the police and tell them that someone is threatening me?" Natalie raised her eyebrows, and only smiled and hugged her until Angela pouted and hugged her: "Okay. Now, where are we going next?"
"Why don'tâ" Angela rolled her eyes and lengthened her voice, "How about we go back and sketch?"
"Apart from these, can you think of anything else in your head?" Natalie rolled her eyes at her.
"However, I haven't drawn a human body cat for a long time." Angela said a little aggrieved, followed by her raising her right hand and swearing solemnly: "I promise this time I'm just drawing sketches and won't do anything else."
"You think I'll believe it?" Natalie asked, glaring at her. Angela pinched her fingers in the center of these fierce eyes, and finally waved helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's go skating in Central Park, it's just the two of us."
Natalie hummed softly, took her arm and walked to the car parked on the road far away from the beach: "Well, two-person skating, this is the first time? Will pull Manny, Liv, or Ini."
"So I didn't look for them this time, it's just a date for two people." Although Angela said with a smile, she sighed heavily in her heart.
"However, in the next few days, I will invite them out to play separately." She continued, and leaned in front of Natalie with a serious look: "It's a separate date."
"Congratulations on finding a better target." Natalie nodded also solemnly.
The deflated Angela smiled bitterly in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be carefree on the surface: "You are so boring, Nat. Well, forget about the movies, movie reviews, box office, etc. I will definitely surpass you this time. of!"
