As one of the most famous and authoritative film critics in North America, Roger-Ebert (Roger-ebert) underwent surgery for thyroid cancer in 2oo8. Since then, the number of film reviews he has written has started to increase. Decline, the three major European film festivals have no way to travel because of long-distance flights, and more often they wait for the film to be released in North America before writing a film review. ?? Bayi Chinese W=W≈W≈. = 8≈1≠Z≠W=. ≥C≥O≠M

However, Toronto is located close to North America, and now it ranks among the fourth largest international film festivals. In terms of influence, it has faintly passed Venice. Therefore, Roger arrived in Toronto on time and joined the film festival as soon as possible. During the celebration.

It’s natural to see Roger’s comment in the official journal, but Roger’s comment appeared in both "The Thieves in the City" and "Buried Alive" at the same time, which made countless people bewildered— —

As we all know, yesterday’s "Brief in the City" screening attracted countless firepower. Almost all the big-name film critics who arrived in Toronto attended the red carpet. According to the situation, after Roger finished watching the movie of "The Thief in the City", he made a special trip to watch "Buried alive" at night, and he was still unwell.

What does this show? Perhaps some reasons can be glimpsed from Roger's film reviews.

"An almost impossible challenge, an almost perfect answer sheet." This is the title of Roger's film review, which clearly expresses his point of view.

"There is always no shortage of masterpieces in secret room movies. How to complete the scheduling of shots and perspectives in a limited space is the first problem; how to complete the role modeling and thematic elaboration in a limited performance space is the first Two difficult problems.

In'Buried alive', this problem reached its extreme. The whole story was born in a coffin, and only one actor appeared on the scene, bringing the genre movie to its extreme.

Under such an extreme framework, Cortez’s control of the audience’s emotions is undoubtedly successful. He not only demonstrated excellent rhythm control ability, but the ups and downs of the plot firmly captured the audience’s attention; Atmosphere creation has shown excellent talent, which reminds people of the amazing performance of m-night-shyama1an in the'sixth sense of the supernatural', tightly held in thrill and suspense. Grasp the rope of hope and keep the suspense till the last moment. In particular, the director adopted a lens ratio of '2:35' to maximize the realistic effect of the phobia of the room.

I would never like the taste of being buried alive.

With the support of such limited resources, acting is undoubtedly an arduous challenge, but Hall is an extremely outstanding actor. He is not only competent but also accomplished the task with great effort, showing his talent and skills to the fullest. In many shots, his eyes revealed a thousand words, and all the mixed and turbulent emotions brought the most profound experience in the simplest way; watching Hall’s performance is a kind of enjoyment. Under the interpretation of, the film not only has the persuasive power, but also not only drove the emotions of the audience, but more importantly, it sublimated the theme——

In front of the state apparatus and large companies, being an independent individual is fragile and desolate. The phrase "I'm sorry" can't support the weight of life!

From the perspective of the script alone, this is not a successful work. The lack of details and the limitation of the pattern restrict the depth of excavation; but it is a work that performs triumphantly. The magnification and excavation of emotions allow the audience to experience it. The ups and downs of a roller coaster, the fear and joy after the end of the movie, are the signs of the success of the film.

A wooden box, an actor, shooting a suffocating masterpiece, this is an almost impossible challenge, but Cortez handed in a nearly perfect answer. More importantly, it made the audience recognize Lanly Hall for the first time. "

Roger is currently the most influential film critic in North America. Not only is he the first film critic to receive the Pulitzer Prize, but he also has his own TV shows and film festivals he set up. It can be said that his film critics Has become a literary form and has been universally recognized.

In Roger's comment system, everything is "relative, not absolute." He believes that when someone asks whether "Hellboy" is outstanding, they are not asking whether it is outstanding compared with "Mystic River", but whether it is outstanding compared with "Punisher", so Roger gave His judgment is that if the "person" is four points, the "Hellboy" is three points, and the "punisher" is two points.

Therefore, Roger will generally give two ratings when relying on movies, one is the rating of the movie itself, and the other is the recommendation rating. To put it simply, some works are very good, but maybe because they are too heavy, too obscure, or too popcorn, they might not be recommended to the audience. He insisted that “a movie is excellent for achieving the original purpose of shooting, but admitting that it does not mean that the movie itself is worth recommending.

Therefore, when evaluating "Buried alive", Roger also said that this is a movie that tests the nerves of the audience and is not recommended to watch. In the case of a four-star perfect score, he gave a two-star recommendation and said, "Danny Ball's '127 Hours' will be released tomorrow, and it also tells the story of a lone traveler who survived a desperate situation. By then, the two films may be discussed together."

Compared with "The Thief in the City", Roger showed a greater interest in the work "Buried Alive", especially his respect for Lan Li, which has attracted countless attention.

Unlike the "Pacific War" and the Emmy Awards, this is the Toronto Film Festival, where the world's top filmmakers gather. Even a little-known independent film like "Buried Alive" can win everyone's attention as long as it is brilliant enough. Obviously, "Buried alive" ushered in such a golden opportunity. After "Variety Show" and Roger's "Chicago Sun", the other seven film reviews have attracted more attention.

"The New York Times" film critic e1izabeth-eitzman (e1izabeth-eitzman) is also an authoritative representative in North America. Her views are undoubtedly worth learning from being able to serve in the nation's first newspaper. This time, she also joined the ranks of her colleagues and gave praise to the film. In the comments, she said:

"Rough but delicate, simple but profound, the film shows the big world under a small pattern, and it truly and credibly presents all emotions, which pushes self-help in a confined space to the limit, but it truly reflects What came out was the complexity and fragility of human nature. When the cast and crew appeared, every audience was immersed in the darkness, unable to extricate themselves. This is the success of the director, and even more the success of the actors. Undoubtedly, this is Toronto this year. The most interesting movie since its opening."

"Vanity Fair" film reviews are written by Claude Puig (c1aude-puig), this freelance film critic, like Roger, mainly runs his own film review website. His film reviews can appear in any magazine or newspaper. However, since signing with Vanity Fair last year, his film reviews have found a fixed cloth platform.

Being able to get the favor of "Vanity Fair" in itself shows Claudy's excellence, and more importantly, Claudy is highly sought after among young people by virtue of the influence of the network platform. This is where his greatest advantage lies.

"Hall's performance is undoubtedly exciting. This newcomer actor was still an unknown little actor half a year ago, but first he dedicated an Emmy-level performance in the'Pacific War', and then he was buried alive. 'He dedicated an Oscar-level performance and completed a blockbuster feat in an instant!

The movie is very smart. It does not have as many resources as the '127 hours' that will be screened tomorrow. Its cost is 3 million, which is only one-sixth of the latter. However, it relies on the wonderful performances of the actors. Real life resonates perfectly, showing the ambitious ambition of the script. Carrying such a rich theme, while being confined to a narrow space, the film undoubtedly faces a daunting challenge. Any slight deviation may cause the work to turn into a sleepy lullaby. Fortunately, it has Hall. "

Crowdy’s film reviews put almost all the weight on Renly. He emphasized, “Hall is undoubtedly the biggest show to date in 2o1o! It is full of surprises.” Obviously, Vanity Fair also expressed this. Agree.

At the same time, a film review written by Michael Phillips (michae1-phi1ips) for the "Hollywood Reporter" said, "Should the Oscar judges vote for this "buried alive" that no one has ever heard of? Maybe, they should vote for Renly Hall."

First Venice, then Toronto, the annual awards season has slowly started~www.novelhall.com~ Although it will not really ignite the war until October, obviously, as an outpost, Toronto film critics can’t wait to mention it. Oscar as the ultimate goal. Among them, the "Hollywood Reporter" is listed alongside "Variety Show" as the most authoritative and professional magazine in Hollywood.

"This is a work with the highest viewing effect. The ups and downs and the twists and turns of the plot brought the audience a simple and pure enjoyment, thrilling and exciting; Hall's talent is full, and he made full use of the narrow space to show the performance. With the explosive force of the one-man show, the stage of the one-man show heartily reveals the essence of emotions, which affects the emotions of the audience into a real world buried alive. It is time for the Hollywood judges to cast their sights on the new actor who is only twenty years old. Yes. God, this is only the second work of his career."

From the film reviews of the "Hollywood Reporter", you can see a glimpse of internal exhibitions in the industry. In the Oscar battle, Toronto has already emerged the first seeded players, and now it seems that Lan Li has won at least one supporter.

The turbulent praise, after the end of the screening, pushed the "buried alive" to the public, as if it had gone hand in hand with last night's "Big Thieves in the City" in momentum. This was really unexpected by everyone; however, in the movie Not all of the nine film reviews in the official site of the festival were praises. Three of them expressed negative views. This was also the first discordant sound after the "Buried Alive" screening ended.
