The Player evaluation action

2021-12-22 08:01
"The Player" is a Hollywood moral story. It is superficial, but it is also more appropriate. It is not an apocalyptic "Day of the Locust", but a satirical parody of Hollywood. "The Player" uses a large group of Hollywood celebrities to play mass roles, but the main actors do not have many celebrities. It uses an easy-to-understand murder story as the heart and soul of the film, but the crime itself is not the key point of the film.
"The Player" is not a horror film, urban drama or murder detective film, but an unpleasant satire about Hollywood that is full of Hollywood jokes, making informed audiences laugh and talk about it.  
The story of "The Player" is so simple, Altman still uses his huge narrative methods to shoot, and the many characters behind the story constitute the weight of the film. The first long shot of "The Player", in the cross scheduling of characters and shots, gave us a panoramic view of Hollywood studios and characters, and became a classic shot.

    The 8-minute long shot gave this film four stars at the beginning, and no matter how messy it was afterwards, it was four stars.

    It's a film set in the '90s, but at every turn it reveals a new Hollywood intent to defy the conventions of the big studios. For example, the influx of foreign films (Bicycle Stealers) into the dock brings new perspectives to practitioners; the success of non-mainstream films even makes people want to make sequels (The Graduate). Altman's irony illustrates a problem, Hollywood is still the same Hollywood, and the new Hollywood can only be remembered.

The Player quotes

  • Tom Oakley: If I'm perfectly honest, if I think about this, this isn't even an American film.

  • Griffin Mill: Who's the D.A.?

    Tom Oakley: Ah! No one.

    Griffin Mill: No one?

    Tom Oakley: No stars on this project. We're going out on a limb on one.

    Andy Civelli: You know, uh, like unknown stage actors or maybe somebody English like what's-his-name.
