The night is actually pretty good

A long time ago, when the film was halfway through, a few of our friends discussed it: Aben has made three excellent films, and he probably has to beat one.
In my opinion, this is a decent old-time work.
There is no problem with the book. I think it is because the character design of the original work is relatively scattered. The opponents of alber and maso are basically not together with joe. The emotional line is also that Emma disappeared after a while. Compared with "The Godfather", There are many scenes where the central characters meet each other, so it will not give people the feeling of running accounts. Night is actually more suitable for filming in the series, because the central characters are scattered, and the tasks of joe and michael in the film are different. Joe is better than the whole person to browse it, and michael's godfather is a contradiction. This may also be the difference between Aben and Coppola.

A great script is the foundation of a great work. The upper limit of the basic work of a script like this can only be regarded as an average masterpiece, which is more than 8 points. Then look at other deductions.

With all due respect, Lehan didn't like Aben in the first place, it was definitely not because of his face, his face is still handsome, Aben is really difficult to reflect the tension of the characters. In recent years, his acting skills have not been as dull and exaggerated as before, and there are many more micro-expressions. However, no tension is always light, and joe and Nick in "gone girl" are almost alone. Sienna and the others are okay. Overall the acting is average. Definitely a minus point.

Then the biggest problem is still the theme - repentance, too weak. With Aben's characterization, the feeling has nothing to do with the inner struggle and repentance. It is simply that Joe is a weak girl. . . . . . Dion also complained about this in the film.

The clothing is generally very good. The collar of Aben's suit can't fit over the shirt. Even if it is tailored for a wide cut, it is still out of standard. The camera sense is very good, and the soundtrack is actually not good enough.

The cast of movies around 7.2-7.5 is actually not bad, and it is not a popular theme nowadays.

    It can only be said that this guide is too willful, the previous capital has been accumulated so much, this time I can come as I want. I’ve picked it up and said, it’s really beautiful. I have always loved this guide’s filters. It’s super stylish and very good-looking. Let’s put aside his acting, but he is really too beautiful and beautiful. Qunfang. As a director who is good at telling stories, the performance of this film is undoubtedly disappointing. In other words, my expectations of Daben as a director are more than that.

    It's not as bad as the outside world said, it's not bad to just look at it, it has a little taste of Hong Kong movies, and it is more suitable to make it into a TV series. Elle Fanning is prettier than her sister.
