It's not an exaggeration to say that it is the saddest movie of the year

The long-awaited Norton new movie is finally online, but I think it can be the worst movie of 2019. As can be seen from the title, director Norton has great ambitions to reproduce the characteristics of the time with Brooklyn in the United States in the 1950s as the background, and the soundtrack and political correctness factors of the film have become the two major elements of the film. Bonus points, a lot of jazz as a background can better bring into the plot, and the politically correct factor that blacks should not be discriminated against can also capture the hearts of the Oscar judges. Speaking of shortcomings, although they are few, they can be fatal. Norton’s new film is cold in the United States, and its reputation is better, but the box office is worrying enough. There is no way it is too long. It can be seen that Norton hopes that this film will The literary and commercial elements are integrated, but it is a pity that it is a commercial film, and the elements are insufficient. The first 20 minutes of the mentor Frank's shot can be regarded as the most exciting part of the film, and it has created sufficient drama conflict. However, the progress of the plot began to slow down afterwards. Although the film is very hard to use the clues found by chance to promote the clues, the progress is still very slow. You can force yourself to appreciate it to see the end from the beginning, and the climax of the commercial film must be exciting enough to attract the audience. It’s a pity that this film didn’t do it well. The ending against the behind-the-scenes gangsters is slow and somewhat sloppy. This is a taboo for commercial films.

It’s okay to say that it’s an art film, but it has set the tone of a commercial film from the beginning of the film, admitting that the soundtrack and scene restoration in the film are real NB, and the actors’ acting skills are all OK, but the film’s name is Brooklyn Secret Case, grand The background and the intricate relationship between the characters have paved the way for the ending, but when the ending is unveiled, a little disappointed, the ending is not spoiled for the first time, with the determination to make an epic film, but it overturned at the end, even appeared Some little guys are angry.

Norton is an excellent actor, and his director skills are not bad. It can be seen that Norton has put a lot of energy into this film. I heard that there were many episodes during the filming. The reputation is good but there is no effect. It is a pity. At the box office, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the saddest movie of the year...

    Eight points, one point for the soundtrack for having accidentally broken into the set in Washington Square. I watched it twice, the first time I slept through it. The second time I saw it, I was very interested. In fact, the movie itself was not boring, but the soundtrack was too powerful and hypnotic. I wanted to kneel down to Radiohead.

    The soundtrack is great, but I sleep for 40 minutes.

    Lionel Essrog: [narrating] Frank always used to say, "Tell your story walkin', pal." He was more philosophical than your average gumshoe, but he liked to do his talkin' on the move, so here's how it all went down. I got somethin' wrong with my head. That's the first thing to know.

    Lionel Essrog: [real life] If!

    Lionel Essrog: [narrating] It's like having glass in the brain. I can't stop pickin' things apart... twistin' 'em around, reassembling 'em. Words and sounds, especially. It's like an itch that has to be scratched.

    Gilbert Coney: [about a sweater snag] Quit pullin' at it! You're gonna make a fuckin' mess out of things.

    Lionel Essrog: [real life] I got threads in my heads. I got threads in my heads! I got threads in my heads, man!

    Lionel Essrog: [narrating] And I twitch a lot. It's hard to miss. It makes me look like a goddamn spastic, but if I try to hold it back, it just makes it worse.
