Those of you who know Michelle Monaghan for the first time will not forget her characteristic appearance. It is beautiful, dignified, but has some indescribable feelings. It's like watching her play Gyllenhaal's girlfriend in "Source Code", some young and some vicissitudes. Equally contradictory is her stage career. With her films, the box office can basically be guaranteed, but that's it, "Mission Impossible" is the only exception.
The pressure on Gerard Butler in the opposite play is obviously much less. This six-year-old wonderful flower finally bloomed after "300". He not only enhances the depth of the plot with his perfect eyes, but also makes the transition of several character types natural. The scene of being baptized in the church, the moment the sultan sees the child melted to black by the fire, and the moment in the single bedroom of the orphanage, touched by the child's narration and persuasion, are all at their best. The mood is restored.
Who can have any dissatisfaction with a film that is well edited, has no waste, and is loaded with rich music. Maybe Downey's death was a little confusing. The director didn't seem to say much about this. His mind wasn't here, it was all about the protagonist; maybe the scene where Sam blasted Downey made Sam completely degenerate, but it didn't take long He picked up the phone, played a game with his daughter, Xiao Zong, and said, "Xiao Zong, I love you", and then Xiao Zong said, "Dad, I love you too", and then Xiao Zong began to cry, and the audience was wet The long-lost hero was found in the circle of eyes.
This gunfight film about the suffering and charity in Africa has not only won the box office, but also won a lot of praise. The prominence of unparalleled aliens has always been like this, "Jaws", "Star Wars", "Alien", "Pulp Fiction", "Titanic", "Brokeback Mountain" ... "Avatar" is like this. It's a pity that the public's aesthetics are almost saturated, just watching is enough; the meaning of the academy is also very clear - "Isn't "The Hurt Locker" a prize for you!" You can't catch the Oscar ride, and you can't count on it. What a legend.
"Machine Gun Missionary" also has a deeper theme, which is how to judge whether it is the right way to do justice. The original line in the film is this: "If someday terrorists break in and take your children, then I tell You, 'I can bring people back', does it matter how I bring people back?"
So it's understandable how much the Oscars can bring to a film. Obviously, Cameron can only smile when his ex-wife is holding a statuette, and it is definitely not the same face for others. Looking at Scorsese again, "Hugo", which has won many awards, was actually defeated by the guy who didn't speak, and he was most aware of the distress.
