Mr Leotini's criticism is by no means unique.
In fact, relative to the vast majority of film critics, his remarks are already friendly.
Many professionals think that the film is too messy and messy, the main line is unclear, the characters appear too many and too frequently, and they don't understand at all.
Another film critic, Bobby Hank, who is very 'concerned' about Sammy, also unceremoniously laughed wildly on his blog: [Hahaha, what a hodgepodge of stuff! ]
If these critics are likened to hunters.
Well, without a doubt, Sammy has always been Bobby Hank's favorite prey.
Since Sammy's debut, this guy has been finding fault, repeatedly criticizing his work harshly from every angle.
What's more irritating is that his remarks are often not without reason.
And this time too.
When he commented on the movie, he directly raised a lot of questions: [Since the ending is still relying on the male protagonist's old-fashioned explosion to save the world, then non-humans have no role at all. Did they need to occupy so many scenes before? Since the heroine failed to change from a cat to a human in the end, why did she change from a human to a cat after a long time of filming? What is the witch doing? Is the male lead growth route NPC? Since it's not love, what does she do after chasing the male protagonist? Are you fed up? ]
Then, after listing a bunch of redundant plots in the movie in detail...
Bobby Hank came to a conclusion: [Sami lacked the ability to tell a complete story, and made a lot of lively things, but it had nothing to do with the content of the film's plot. The money was wasted burning without seeing the meaning. ]
Not at all!
It's just being used because it doesn't cost money.
Of course, this cannot be said casually.
So, when reporters later interviewed, relayed these questions in detail, and asked him for answers…
On the one hand, Sammy was too lazy to explain, and on the other hand, he did not want to make up too many lies.
So, his answer was: "I don't know I forgot that I finished filming."
Extremely irresponsible.
Apart from the bunch of unexplained remarks he made before, he doesn't seem to care that his work (movie) is criticized at all, and he has no intention of standing up and explaining it well, so that the fans who want to help him don't know it for a while What to say.
debate! debate! There is debate.
But this is always the case. The film critics wrote a bunch of them unilaterally, and a certain super-personal director returned silently like a passerby. No, he was a passerby than passers-by, which was really annoying.
Therefore, after the interview, many reporters racked their brains to write the manuscript, trying to interpret the sentence 'I don't know, I forgot, I finished filming' from all angles.
Some reporters thought it was 'Director Sammy thinks his film is perfect and doesn't need to be explained to others'; some reporters said 'Sami Griffin admits the film is Waterloo and keeps his mouth shut about the film'; The reporter directly wrote 'Director Sammy probably has amnesia'.
But no matter how they interpret it, they all invariably call Sammy 'the new generation of Hollywood geek directors' at the end of the article.
Privately, however, they posted on the Internet 'It's too difficult to communicate with Sammy Griffin, he doesn't seem to be in the same world as me at all' complaining.
This remark was praised by countless people.
Sammy comes with a firewall with him, shielding everything, and has a unique logic of its own system, which is invulnerable to all poisons.
"It's easy to think too much of yourself when you're famous."
When he was idle and had nothing to do, he said to Mickey: "Too much self-esteem will cause these people to have the illusion that the whole world is paying attention to me. I have to explain everything to the outside world seriously, as if someone really wants to hear it (fans: Hey, we obviously want to hear it, creative ideas, creative inspiration, why do you shoot like this... ). I don't want to act like this People, go with what people say! I'm just an ordinary director, I like a dragon, what should I do, and live a peaceful life. "
Mikey didn't understand a word.
But when he understood 'like a dragon', he was overwhelmed with excitement, wishing he could turn into a prototype, a roc spreading his wings and spiraling to the sky!
Then Sammy asked, "Would you like to accompany me home for Christmas?"
Mickey's face turned red all of a sudden: "Yes, I'm going to see you... No, are our parents?"
Our parents
This dragon is too familiar, right
Sammy looked at him blankly. "No."
"So, what's that for?" Mickey continued stammering.
Sammy said solemnly, "It's a ceremony."
"Ritual?" Michaelon repeated curiously: "Is it your human ritual? Will it be very solemn, and is it convenient for me to watch it?"
"Of course, you must be present. Because you are also the protagonist of this ceremony."
"What? A ceremony where I have to be present? Uh, could it be... Sam, Sammy, I'm underage for a wedding..."
"What do you think? Of course not. It is the inheritance ceremony of dragon slaying warriors. Only by catching a dragon as a sacrifice can we truly inherit the name of warriors."
"Ah! Sam... Sammy!!"
"I lied to you."
Although criticized by many people, the box office of "The Exorcist" is very good.
Even if countless professionals dislike it, the audience is very happy to see it.
In their spare time, most people choose to buy tickets for "The Exorcist" after walking into the cinema to pick and choose.
There are various reasons. It is worth watching the special effects. The male protagonist becomes more and more handsome. The white cat is so cute. The plots are also very interesting.
Especially the book fans of the original novels of the movie, when the filming started, they protested the most fiercely.
Unexpectedly, when the movie screening ended, they all let out a really fragrant sigh.
Plot-wise, the plot in this movie isn't any of the novels in The Exorcist's series.
But in fact, the movie is not divorced from the original.
Film adaptations are resisted by the original party, often out of fear that the original will be changed beyond recognition.
But sometimes, a successful adaptation does not necessarily have to be exactly the same as the original plot.
If it is a little more mysterious, this film is in the same vein as the original novel in spirit.
It was a kind of rebellion that permeated between the lines, not believing in fate, nor in God, and walking on one's own path.
Therefore, in the original novel, the hero Albioni is an iron-headed baby.
Along the way, he finished fighting the devil and the devil, and after fighting the demon, he started fighting the angel again. Reckless.
no doubt.
The film reproduces the character of the male protagonist intact, his arrogance, his conceit, his boldness, and the lack of respect even for the gods, all of which are vividly displayed and fit the original.
In addition, the follow-up plots, which are called lengthy parts by professionals, such as the battle between heaven and hell, are also very friendly to the readers of the original book.
Ms. Selena has mentioned in several novels that demons like to go to earth to pick things up, and angels prefer to stay in heaven. But the former is certainly a heinous crime, and the latter is equally annoying.
Because the angels are idle and have nothing to do, they have to observe the human world.
So, when the exorcist Albioni was struggling against the evil, they drank tea and ate snacks, and commented on the way, "Humans are so weak in combat that they can't kill a little evil spirit for so long." Yet? Life is so fragile.'
Do not help but also blind sigh!
Readers get angry every time they see this.
Therefore, in the film, there are contradictions and confrontations between the protagonist and heaven and hell, which are actually traceable in the original work.
Moreover, this operation is also very cool!
This leads to, even if the entire plot of the film is completely different from the original novel.
But after watching the movie, the readers of the original book thought - yes, this is the exorcist, this is it!
This group of people went to the Internet to praise the movie and the director wildly, and apologized for the previous boycott by the way.
Even with some ordinary fans, they also stood up and said: [I didn't dare to say it before, because everyone said it was not good-looking. But in fact, I think it's pretty good. Although I haven't read the original book, I can understand the plot. It's not as ugly as those film critics said. ]
This phenomenon is so strange.
For a time, there were different opinions.
At this time, Mr. Leotini actually added another film review.
[I watched the film a few times recently and found that the problem with this film is not that Sammy is too young and immature, but that he is too talented, which caused the congestion of the film. ]
[For example, Albioni's rocky romance with Lady White Cat, the friendship between witches and non-humans, Albioni's own growth, the political attitudes of heaven and hell to the world, and the lifelike non-humans in human beings The colorful life of the society, the human-faced octopus who was almost regarded as a murderer, the tree man who is honest and self-abiding as a chartered man, the griffin living in the primeval forest, and the ghost of vengeance... ]
[So many, so many elements! If any element is taken out and expanded, maybe another movie can be made. Now, it's all crammed into one movie, you can imagine how terrible it is. In fact, this problem sometimes occurs in many commercial films. There is too much content to talk about, and the world you want to create is too big, but the film only lasts less than three hours. ]
[However, Sammy magically did it. ]
[Like playing with building blocks, he piled up all the seemingly messy building blocks, but successfully built a building. It may be a little ugly, and it may be criticized, but it does control the scene and tells the story completely. What's more exciting is that it can justify it and let the audience understand it. ]
[There are only a handful of directors in Hollywood who dare and can do it. ]
[While I still don't like the movie, I have to admit that it wasn't a bad movie under Sammy's direction. ]
At this point, the situation finally began to reverse.
The belated praise poured out like a blowout.
The producer on the set arrives excitedly with champagne to tell Sammy the good news.
But the door of Sammy's house was locked, and there was a note on the door: [Go home for Christmas, don't come to me if you have anything, don't come to me if you have anything. ]
