The "Five Steps to Retirement" that has become a vain meaning now has officially ended. The waste of "Infectious Diseases", the inconspicuousness of "Winning Blow", the male character of "Magic Mike", and the obscurity of the film and figures of "Side Effects", Then to this single TV series "Behind the Candlestick", which uses film narrative, Soderbergh showed the most three-dimensional himself in recent times. "Behind the Candlestick" has become an ordinary work in the chronology of Soderbergh's self-slapped slap. Two hours later, I am very pleased if it really becomes Soderberg's curtain call. , That is really far-fetched. Movies, or television, are about the emotional entanglement between Li Boras, a gay piano show who was one of the first pop artists in modern America, and his closest boyfriend Scott in his career. Soderberg loves male sex in recent years, and once questioned why it was Matt Damon instead of Channing Tatum to play the role of Scott. After watching it, he realized that it didn’t matter. Michael Douglas completely controlled the entire movie. The aura. Soderbergh’s personal style is not prominent in "Behind the Candlestick". As a work broadcast on TV, Soderbergh adopts the most classic and popular Hollywood narrative, with a main line running through it and occasionally interspersing branch lines to control it. The rhythm, like the plot that Scott became addicted to painkillers due to cosmetic surgery, and then addicted to drugs, enriched the character of Scott in addition to explaining the ins and outs of the whole incident, and made the later motives of his opposition to Li Bolas even more. It stands to reason. If it is not Douglas, but other actors of the same level as Damon, "Behind the Candlestick" is very likely to become a dual protagonist movie, but Soderbergh did not balance the two roles. The film talks about Li Bo Russ, then it is led by Li Bolas. Scott always appears with Li Bolas, lacking a sense of independence, and when he really appears alone in the second half of the movie, he is habitually piled up in the first half. , Making these bridges seem very boring and weak, it can be said that the role of Scott is not as successful as Li Bolas. Not only that, except for iconic plots such as bathtub scenes that can create a strong contrast before and after the event, it is really difficult to see how much Soderberg has done for the film. The film started, developed, and steadily. The climax and the end, if there is no Douglas, no Damon, HBO will not announce the main creation behind the scenes, "Behind the Candlestick" can be regarded as one of many TV movies, because although it is solid, it lacks outstanding features. Maybe, watch it on HBO. Now, "Soderberg directing" is enough. As for "How Soderberg directs", it doesn't make much sense for a single TV series.
Li Bolas is known as the "King of Sparkle", because he always does his best to be dazzling when performing, and he swears to never stop without eye-catching. "Behind the Candlestick" has more or less caught this. The habit, the bullchat in the early stage of publicity is extraordinary, but the effect is plain and plain. In the end, the summary of the impression becomes the exaggeration like Li Bolas's costume.
