The next day, John slept until he woke up naturally, and combined breakfast and lunch into a meal, Lao Mei's food was lackluster, and it was so tricky to change it, and Huaxia was not a rival of the same magnitude. But luckily he has a 1986 Mouton that doesn't make lunch so boring.

The ancients used poetry to drink, John was not so talented and funny, he could only use newspapers and periodicals to drink, and by the way, pay attention to the news of "Stealing Love".

In the early 90s, the media was dominated by traditional television, radio, newspapers and magazines. As for online media, it will only start in the mid-to-late 90s. The concept of a "fourth media" was not formally introduced until the annual session of the United Nations Committee on Information in 1998.

So in the early 90s, the only way to learn about the outside world was to watch TV, listen to the radio, or read newspapers.

John picked up a copy of "The New Yorker" and watched it, and when he flipped to the movie layout, John was suddenly surprised because he saw a movie review about "Stealing Love".

The New Yorker's art criticism is so well-known that it can reach other cities in the United States, and it's no exaggeration to say that the New Yorker will talk about whatever it says. And the reason why The New Yorker's reviews are so famous is because the writers who wrote them are celebrities themselves, which is why they have such an impact.

And John was surprised that "Stealing Love" actually appeared on such an influential "New Yorker".

With a hint of surprise, John looked at the New Yorker review of "Stealing Love", and when he saw that the critic was Pauline Kyle, his heart suddenly chuckled.

Pauline Kyle can be said to be one of the top film critics in the second half of the 20th century, a palace figure in the film critic world. John's work can be said to be regarded by such top film critics, which can be said to be very fortunate, but it can also be said to be very tragic. Because this old lady is known for her bluntness.

What is Straightforwardness?

To be straightforward is to not give face, to show no mercy.

When John saw that there was a review of "Stealing Love" on "The New Yorker", he was not worried except for surprise, because "The New Yorker" is also the throat of the Democratic Party, so it will not embarrass him too much. But when he saw that the critic was Pauline Kyle, he began to get worried.

This old lady can be said to be so straightforward that no one will give face, and there are not one or two giant directors in Hollywood who have been satirized by her spicy and compelling words. The great director Woody Allen was once whipped by her for "Once Upon a Time in the Stars".

And the most straightforward thing for the old lady is that she doesn't even give face to her peers. When she satirized Woody Allen's "Once Upon a Time with the Stars", she completely ignored the love of another film critic hallmark, Judith Crist, for "Once Upon a Moment", when Judith Chris even played a guest role in the movie, and that's how Pauline Kyle still whipped Woody Allen bloody.

So when John saw Pauline Kyle's name, he was stunned, he was afraid that this old lady would give "Stealing Love" a big bad review, if this is the case, it will affect the box office of the later movie.

In the early 90s, when the Internet was just starting and everyone could be a film critic had not yet arrived, the traditional film critics at this time had a great influence on the audience, so even the top Hollywood film companies had to ask some excellent film critics to cheer for the film when they released the movie.

Of course, this kind of help is not free, it is charged according to the status and market appeal of the film critic, excellent film critics can generally get hundreds of thousands of dollars in pen polishing fees, and the average film critic also has tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After a summer and Christmas file, these film critics can get at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in pen polishing fees, and it can be said that before the mid-90s was the golden age of these film critics.

But in the mid-to-late 90s, with the rise of the Internet and the advent of the era when everyone is self-media, it is no longer the authority of a few people to speak out, and the status of film critics has been seriously challenged, especially after Hollywood film companies know how to use water armies, the influence of these film critics has plummeted, and in the end, they can only make trouble in the awards. The income has also changed from the pen polishing fee in the summer and Christmas files to the viewing fee during the awards season.

After taking a deep breath, John continued to look at the movie review on the page, the title of which reflected Pauline Kyle's usual witty ""Stealing Love in an infinite loop of time"

"Director John Chris Deng spent 114 minutes telling us a story of transcendence. Beyond time, beyond death, beyond love. The film is dressed in love and comedy, but in fact, it contains a theme that makes people ponder. Through the perspective of science fiction, it shows a fact that happens around you and me.

The brilliance of the film lies in the fact that the theme is old-fashioned but not kitsch, and the two-line meaning of one light and one dark constructs the complete theme of the film. Through the sublimation of the protagonist Phil again and again, Mingchu fully shows the meaning of life. In the dark places, time and death are used to outline the weaknesses of human nature. The two lines of light and dark implicate in the mutual paving but collide with each other to create sparks, and the strong contrast between black and white shows the sparkle of the film at a glance.

If the advantage of "Stealing Love" is the moral of the theme, the disadvantage is the selection of the characters. Director John Chris Deng has fully let us see what it is for a novice to get on the road and the restless hormones in his heart.

The actor of the protagonist Phil, Jim Carrey, is sunny and handsome, and his performance in the play is more than comedy, but not restrained enough. The introverted performance in the early stage is not in place, but it is deliberately suppressed in the later stage, and the traces of artificial axe chisels are too obvious.

And director John Chris Deng's biggest failure is not in the male lead, but in the casting of the female lead, Sandra Bullock's acting skills in the play can be said to be very good, but her naturally beautiful appearance makes the film and the audience have a sense of distance, since the film tells the story of the little people, that is what happens to you and me, Cinderella can get the crystal slipper, but Snow White must not appear in the real world.

Every man fantasizes about finding a woman who is naturally beautiful, but reality tells us that most men will spend their lives with a woman of average appearance. Therefore, it is impossible for Sandra Bullock's beauty to appear next to you and me, if director John Chris Deng can choose a mediocre-looking heroine when casting, then the sense of involvement in the film will undoubtedly be enhanced a lot, and the audience will be more likely to understand the meaning of the movie.

But the reality tells us that director John Chris Deng, who is in the hormonal period, his selection criteria are: only choose the eye-catching, not the right one. ”

John couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, he was really not experienced enough in the casting of "Stealing Love", and Jim Carrey at this time was obviously lacking in the ability to control the introverted role.

But about Sandra Bullock, John said that he was not wrong, isn't this how Hollywood directors choose vases?

But now Pauline Kyle says it's hormonal causes, which makes John laugh and cry, and his own hormonal period ended decades ago.

John shook his head helplessly and continued to look at Pauline Kyle's film review.

Overall, although "Stealing Love" has many shortcomings and shortcomings, and director John Chris Deng's directing ability is still a little immature, but the film is a good start for the 1991 film.

Finally, I hope that director John K. Reesden can get through his restless hormonal period as soon as possible and make his next film "Forrest Gump" even better. ”

John let out a long sigh after reading the last word, Pauline Kyle's comment was quite mild, and there were not too many bad reviews of "Stealing Love", which made him feel a lot more relieved. At the same time, I am also very grateful that this old lady will help him promote "Forrest Gump" in the end.

It's no secret that John's next film will be filmed Forrest Gump, and Michael Ovitz's ban on him has been rumored in Hollywood for a long time. So it's not unusual for Pauline Kyle to know about his next movie.

When John was grateful, he also sighed in his heart, Pauline Kyle, the old lady, will retire this year, and there will be one less palace figure in the film critic world.
