Chapter 195: What is a classic
Lem posted a fresh tomato review on Rotten Tomatoes with the title "The Matrix, the best sci-fi film of the 21st century".
[Whether you are familiar with me or not, you know that I hate actors who don't have any connotation, acting in movies with one face, singing, and exuding the smell of garbage all over their bodies.]
It seems to me that there is only one profession that is similar to theirs, and the people who stand on Big Ben Street in Louisiana solicit customers.
Oh sorry, they're stars, not actors.
When I knew that Rhea was on the cast of The Matrix, my fingers and keyboard were ready.
Half an hour before watching, thousands of words were already jumping in my head, like a pianist sitting in front of a Steinway piano with his fingers beating.
But when the director showed his hole cards, the savior returned to the real world, and the background of the film was presented, my mind was barren, and the words arranged in front disappeared, replaced by a person's name.
"Hillary"
It's not Ms. Hillary, it's Mr. Hillary, the philosopher of the last century, who hypothesized the brain in a jar in Reason, Truth, and History.
Is the situation of a human being in the mother similar to that of a brain in a vat?
Thinking like this is to look down on "The Matrix", Seifer betrayed the truth for the sake of falsehood, and I suddenly realized that director Chu Shun was not influenced by Mr. Hillary, but was proving Mr. Descartes's "demonism" in another way.
A demon is very powerful, he is able to control the five senses, how can you be sure that you yourself are not bewitched by the demon at this time?
Mr. Descartes' answer was: I think, therefore I am.
When Neo thinks, the Mother can't control his thinking, he wants reality. Seifer, on the other hand, when he thinks independently, has no mother, but does the opposite.
And when you think independently, you are not controlled, because the devil cannot control your heart.
Whether you choose real or virtual, the moment you make your decision, you exist.
My mood of finding fault has become the excitement of seeing a good movie, "The Matrix" is wearing the armor of an action movie, and the shell of a genre film, science fiction fable, a few simple sentences, can make people fall into thinking, I think this is the strength of European famous directors as the Palme d'Or and the Golden Lion Award.
"The Matrix" is not only Chu Shun's anxiety about the development of AI, but also a well-crafted science fiction fable, but also a movie that really touches the essence of human beings.
If I speak ill of such a movie, my pride as a film critic is not allowed!]
"The pride of film critics, the pride of the slime where to steal it?Why didn't you say anything proud when you were brainless?" Benny was amused, and many high-value stars in the United Elite Agency, European and American small fresh meat are also sought after.
So he is often taken care of by Lem, and Benny definitely wants to gag his mouth with weeds when he has a chance, so he has always called him Slime.
The slimes have all praised it, and it also reflects from the side that Director Chu Shun is really good at making movies, and actually uses the smoothness of commercial films to think about a philosophical question. Bennedy said to himself that the only thing he regretted was that Lem didn't have Quaria.
It is absolutely impossible to want Lem Quaria, he directly ignored it, it is very face-saving, because Lem's resentment towards the handsome guy is like a flood of West Hailan, and it will drown Hawaii when it is out of control!
Lem is a poor man, with an ordinary appearance, but for some reason his girlfriend, who split his legs three times, made Lem hurt deeply, and his sexual orientation changed slightly, but when he had a slight affection for a person of the same sex...... I'm with other handsome guys again.
"There are still directorial films after Fellini, the philosophical value is greater than the value of the film itself, and "The Matrix" makes us know director Chu Shun. At first glance, this film critic admires Fellini, the master of the stream of consciousness.
"The ancient philosophers of China began to think very early on, [who am I], [what is heaven] and [whether people are born good or evil], and today in the 21st century, director Chu Shun is here with these questions. "This film critic has a certain understanding of Chinese culture.
"The Matrix, I think it's going to be a sci-fi movie milestone, it's too early to say, but it meets the three conditions of a milestone. "This one is very straightforward.
Sartre said that the greatest unfreedom of man is that he cannot get rid of it. So today Chu Shun said, you have never been free. "As far as film criticism is concerned, if you don't quote scriptures, it's not enough to show the level, which is consistent at home and abroad.
More than 90 percent of Hollywood film critics have given positive reviews like Lyme, just look at the titles of the film critics above.
"Lucy, let's go see The Matrix again. Galion took Lucy by the hand.
That's right, Galeon caught up with Lucy that night, on the one hand, she can speak well, and on the other hand, a private hospital doctor is a good job in the United States.
Lucy had an entertainment newspaper in her hand, and as a member of the Pasadena Club, she wanted to read the newspaper and praise her favorite director, so she bought two copies.
"I'd love to. Lucy agreed, and then said: "Director Chu Shun is really good at choosing actors, Rhea is very handsome, Fanny Yu is so cool, I want to sign up to learn taekwondo." β
Galeon said: "Forget it, let's watch the movie first." β
The fire of "The Matrix" burned even more vigorously than they imagined, and when the Earth Hacker 2 was released, the audience who watched Hacker 1 said such a sentence - who can not love Keanu Reeves?
Rhea and Keanu Reeves don't look alike, they have nothing to do with each other, if they do, they have ghosts, but their common feature is that they are both TM handsome, coupled with the addition of the movie Neo's character modeling and plot, which attracts a large number of female audiences.
And "The Matrix" is sought after by male fans in terms of action scenes and depth, which has formed a virtuous circle.
The North American market, like a place where leeks burst, entered with scissors and sacks, and harvested $130 million in three days.
There are also leeks that are second to watch movies, such as Galeon and Lucy.
Newspaper headlines are dominated -
"The Matrix: Do You Choose the Red Pill of Painful Soberness or the Blue Pill of False Happiness" β Los Angeles Film Journal
"Red Dragon" slipped second at the box office, losing the box office champion that lasted for two weeks, and Peter Francis lost to Chinese director Chu Shun. - "Today's Box Office"
"The Princeton University professor talks about the fact that it is impossible for humans to recycle as bioenergy, and that "The Matrix" has background mistakes. βThe New York Times
From "Kill Bill", which grossed more than $30 million, to "Fatal ID", which cost nearly $100 million, and now has a three-day box office of $130 million, director Chu Shun is how to complete the three-step jump and explore the secrets of the director. - "Actors' Union Daily"
......
Disney, as one of the distribution companies of "The Matrix", made a lot of money this wave, but the first reaction was, why didn't you participate in the investment?
Not only did it break 100 million in three weeks, but it also set a new box office record for Friday with $70 million on Friday.
In particular, because of the holiday problem of Americans, Friday is a particularly crowded movie.
Basically, in the first week of the movie's release, the highest box office is basically Friday, and some are more directly released on Friday.
The Hollywood capital market and the awards really re-acquainted the young director who was hailed as the "youngest film master" in Europe.
Investors say what film masters, but don't be fooled, this is a commercial film director!
While the box office is high, it also guarantees a high reputation, and the online freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is still above 95%, while the popcorn score is 97 points.
It's not easy, this Rotten Tomatoes freshness can be ranked second in the year, the first is a movie about the American Civil War, reflecting racial issues...... No bad reviews, 100% freshness.
The brilliance of a work is actually related to the era in which the work appeared.
Due to the relationship of the times, "The Matrix" will be filmed and released in the 21st century, and it will have a new meaning, and it is obvious that even Chu Shun, who understands movies better than anyone else, did not expect it.
Surprisingly, the person who wrote the film review was Peter, the director of "Red Dragon", who was robbed of popularity halfway by "The Matrix".
If Chu Shun comes to Hollywood and sees Peter's "Red Dragon", he will be very surprised, because "Red Dragon" is not a Western fantasy blockbuster, but an adaptation of Harid's thriller "Red Dragon".
There is also a film of the same name on Earth, and it is also a sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs", but the word-of-mouth collapsed after filming, and it was scolded for a long time.
In the different background of the metaverse, many things have changed a lot, and the author Khalid only wrote "Red Dragon", which was published in the 80s.
"The Silence of the Lambs" in 88, "Hannibal" in 99, and "Young Hannibal" in 06 were not created.
And there is a different place, the Yuandi Star version of "Red Dragon" is also a double harvest at the box office, with a cumulative box office of 240 million in two weeks, if it weren't for the birth of "The Matrix", none of the films on the market at present would be his enemies, and he could win the championship in the third week.
Peter is 43 years old this year, which is the golden age of a director, and he has gone from an editing assistant step by step to today, very steadily.
Peter is not a film critic anyway, and rarely reviews other films, unless it is a friend movie that will help him.
The film review was published in the famous "Hollywood Reporter", which is also one of the most famous entertainment newspapers in Hollywood.
The title was: "Most of them don't want to pull the plug." β
It's the line that Morpheus says to Neo in the movie, saying that most people don't want to go back to the real world.
["Like anyone else, you are a slave when you are born, you are born into prison, you cannot smell, you taste, you cannot touch, you will be a prisoner for the rest of your life, a prisoner whose mind is imprisoned."] β
I suddenly found that this sentence is to say that the reality is that the world has entered the Internet age, and the consultation information is fast, and it is no longer like before, to know the quality of a book, you have to buy it in the bookstore and read it.
Now we only need to flip through the comments on the Internet, and the Internet has brought convenience to life, so our life is convenient and convenient, and there is no way to go by ourselves.
To be honest, I think it's really nice to take a shortcut and go to another shortcut.
We rely on the Internet, we use the Internet, but what information you see on the Internet is what you want to see?
No, those messages are what businessmen, capitalists, and website operators want you to see, and through the analysis of popular big data analysis, they are pushed to you, and the network says that you need him, so you need him.
Does it sound familiar?
The 21st century Internet and the matrix of "The Matrix" are only different in degree, not in essence.
So now that you know the disadvantages of the Internet, are you willing to give up the speed of the Internet and the entertainment that the Internet brings?
The choice is yours.
I know your answer because your answer is consistent with the answer given by my heart.
"The Matrix" has two layers of core, ostensibly a science fiction fable, and concerns about the possible harm of AI in the mid-21st century.
The inner core is a portrayal of reality, and this is our 21st century network era.
When the prophet spoke to Neo, he suddenly looked at the "audience", proving that director Chu Shun deliberately blurred the line. οΌ½
As soon as Peter's analysis came out, not only the fans were a little confused, but the critics were a little stunned, including Lem, this angle was a new angle, they didn't expect it, and it was reasonable, eating two fish and two fish.
Everyone's feeling is that Chu Shun and "The Matrix" are going to be famous all over the world.
