(5.0) In the past, I could only say that I didn't like Sorkin's participation in the screenplay very much, and now I can say that I don't even like the director. The peculiar dialogue lasts for a while and then fails, and the wonderful words become dull with the passage of time. The director's job should be to neutralize the extreme screenwriters, or to find a reasonable image presentation method for the extreme screenwriters. Sorkin was trapped in his own goodness, unable to extricate himself, and the lack of experience eventually made the story out of control and his goodness was worthless in the end. There are some people who have turned to photography and become directors fortunately because they do not understand the script and choose a stable and mature story with an understanding of the image, but it is easier to succeed. In contrast to contemporary Sorkins, the high-intensity dialogue of the Golden Age or earlier (represented by comedies of all kinds) was not only a feature but a means, creating interesting characters in a witty film, and more Importantly, these roles carry corresponding moral responsibilities. Now, this feature is still a tool, but it is more like a tool for dazzling skills. A few jokes are shaken out of the overall tone, and what comes out of this joke is the role positioning that is hard to figure out. Sorkin's representatives, Zuckerberg, Jobs, and Molly Bloom are often known as social elites to attract audiences. I think the label of "the troublemakers of human society" is more appropriate, because these characters are completely stripped of moral responsibility. . The turbulent and purposeless life may be real, but it should not be stopped by "movies". What she is looking for is meaning and certainty, even if this certainty is called "life is impermanent". Maybe it's because the characters are too contemporary and inconclusive? In this sense, these "elites" are farther from us than fantasy heroes like Iron Man and Spider-Man, and even a little bit further than Schneider's Superman. Let's give Sorkin a good director. We've all seen the energy of that model.
