The big devil and the little boy on the wrong set

I originally thought that the big devil came to play this kind of movie is really out of his talent. After watching it, I realized that Kate's live-in women's drama could not hold up a children's drama. It may be that Cate thinks of such movies too frivolously, leading to not entering the role at all, not acting the kind of cold wizard who takes care of the gentle and good mother of milk, but it feels more like the lines and the lines of the script, scene by scene. Action expressions that should be there.

In addition, if children come to act, they will add points to their clumsy and innocent characteristics. It’s completely fine to act in true colors. However, the director’s large amount of guidance makes the children abruptly perform the image of "little genius". All of a sudden the whole character set changed. If a little boy has the ability to let go of his natural "childishness" to act, he can achieve the desired effect, but for this immature child star, the requirements are really high. Therefore, what is finally presented in the movie can only be an image of "a clumsy child star trying to act like a genius."

    A typical Hollywood big production horror film for toddlers, with fancy special effects and inexplicable plot. PS. Ask an aggressive actor like Cate Blanchett to play the role of an arrogant witch. In the end, you let her be cute and motherly, and mary poppin hits pumpkins? ? ?

    Qualified assembly line family fun children's film, the color tone is similar to Hugo, but fortunately there are some creepy props and sets: a room of faithful dolls, his family's wallpaper, bush Griffin, pumpkin vomiting. Purple Swan Kate looks good in every outfit. Of course I'm for Kyle, although it's mainly corpse makeup but also has beautiful memory photos. Favorite little illustration next to the end credits (Griffin with his ears covered)

    Jonathan Barnavelt: [writing letter] Dear Lewis: Enclosed, please find one bus ticket and two silver dollars for your trip to Michigan. I'm really sorry about the loss of your parents. Your mom was my sister, so that makes you family. And I'll do my best to make you feel right at home. As Einstein said, life is like a bicycle. To stay balanced, you got to keep moving forward. And so will we. I look forward to meeting you. Your Uncle Jonathan. PS Sorry for the stain on the letter. That's chocolate.

  • Jonathan Barnavelt: We don't know where the clock is or what it does, except something horrible. No, we gotta do the responsible thing: lie to the kid.
