Another double-edged sword

When a big director finds an actress to play a lunatic or a prostitute, it's definitely a great opportunity for the actress to win the Best Actress Award, but Keira Knightley is too hard. The performance made her miss this good opportunity. Of course, this is not the most unfortunate thing for her. The most unfortunate thing is that at this time, she also met the great director David Cronenberg who wanted to make a change, so these two people who were not on the track jointly dedicated this piece to us. Not a bad movie.

The structure of the film is not brilliant, and the editing of the set and the like can only be described as normal. Judging from the setting of the script, the two highlights of the film undoubtedly focus on the actor's interpretation of the role of Sabina Spilerin and the communication between Freud and Jung, two great minds in the field of psychology. . The former's success factor largely depends on the heroine's acting skills, while the latter mainly depends on the director's ability to speak the story.

Let's talk about Keira Knightley first, the actress who is quite controversial in the hearts of Chinese audiences. Obviously, her performance in the play this time will be controversial again. Personally, I think that her performance in the play is really too powerful. Can a madman have to constantly change his breathing rate and put on a weird shape to interpret it? She apparently confused mental illness with polio. The other cup is the innate aspect. A netizen used a 3D chin and a 2D chest to evaluate her as extremely vicious. An actress who can be regarded as a big-name actress also showed her breasts, but she was still unpopular. If you want to blame it, blame yourself. It's too calm to look long, and it lacks the full support of 5 stars for those scumbags who take off their clothes.

Because the roles of Freud and Jung are set to make it difficult for actors to play well, another selling point of this film depends mainly on the ability of David Cronenberg. David Cronenberg has always been a famous double-edged sword director with mixed reviews, and he still uses the double-edged sword expression method for this film, that is, too obsessed with theoretical explanation. Although such a high amount of information will make psychology fans addicted, it will inevitably affect the enthusiasm of ordinary movie fans. At the same time, the film's ending stage is too fluid, and the lack of thinking and resonance is another fatal flaw of the film.

Even so, David Cronenberg's new work has been done in one go, and the whole film always contains full of emotions, which is still worth watching. I give it three and a half stars.

    Miss Keira, no matter how much you sacrifice your image, it can't hide the fact that you are not good at acting, so you should not do this kind of thankless work in the future.
