After watching "Gravity", the first thing that came to Michael's mind was still Roger's figure.

Unlike "Drunken Country Ballad", this time it is not because of the theme and core of the film, but because of the charm that Alfonso gives to the film, the kind of charm that only belongs to the movie screen.

Michael can be sure that Roger will definitely give this film a standing ovation, those light and shadow, those compositions, those performances, those philosophies, those immersive textures...... All of them are interpreting the unique charm of the movie.

"Gravity" may not be perfect, but the unique charm it presents is dazzling, even more moving and wonderful than "Hugo", because Martin Scorsese tells the story of a fan, and Alfonso Cuarón presents all the reasons for the fascination on the big screen.

Every true movie fan should enter the cinema and enjoy the ninety-one minutes of light and shadow world, even if he doesn't like this kind of movie or this movie at all, but that kind of movie viewing enjoyment is irreplaceable, even beyond "Avatar", and truly pushes the visual art and sensory art of cinema to the extreme.

What's more, there is also the amazing Blue Gift.

Just thinking about Roger Ebert's expression after watching "Gravity", Michael couldn't help but want to give a round of applause along with him, venting his inner excitement and excitement.

In fact, when the Cannes Film Festival was held, Michael had already given the highest praise, "The best performance of his career!"

It's not just a casual statement, Michael isn't a film critic who likes to give "best" praise on the move, but if he really thinks so, he won't skimp on his praise. In "The Drunken Folk", the blue gift gives Levine-Davis a thrilling soul, and even now, Michael can clearly recall Levian's lonely and lonely eyes.

Objectively speaking, Michael still prefers Lan Li's performance in "Drunken Country Folk", which is more restrained and more delicate, from his eyes to his lines, showing the performance texture of Lan Li to the fullest, but Michael must also admit that the performance in "Gravity" is more difficult and more profound, and those inadvertent small details give the character more connotations worth excavating, echoing the movie, and then sublimating the theme.

Purely in terms of difficulty and completion, the performance of "Gravity" is even better!

After watching the movie, Michael thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to put pen to paper.

"This year in Cannes, I said that the Coen brothers chose Lanli to play Levien Davies, and that was the perfect choice, and now in Venice I will say again that Alfonso Cuarón chose Lanli to play Ryan Stone, and it was also the perfect choice.

In today's Hollywood, there are countless top actors, and those good actors must be able to give the character of Ryan Stone a different charm, but none of them are Lan Li Hall.

In Lan Li's performance, his eyes are undoubtedly delicate and intricate, those vicissitudes and stormy waves are all filled in those light brown pupils, and Lan Li is undoubtedly profound and ingenious for the character's understanding of the plot and life. One of the most impressive scenes in the movie - this is the impossible selection puzzle, but Lan Li shows the mystery of disillusionment and birth in two different scenes.

From hope to despair, and then from despair to rebirth, all the weight falls in one eye, seemingly simple, but powerful, seemingly ordinary, but full of vicissitudes. Hidden behind that skin, Ryan Stone carries all the meaning of life.

Yes, this is the shell of a popcorn movie, and the simple story can even be summarized in one sentence, and even the beginning and end are completely in the framework rhythm of a commercial film, but this is full of the connotation of a philosophical and artistic film, and the complex and profound thinking all falls into Lan Li's performance, and those thoughts about the birth of life and existentialism are all carried in it.

Even after reminiscing, Lan Li-Hall's performance still has a kind of soul baptism energy!

I don't want to assert it again, but leave it to the audience for comments and feedback, but it is undoubtedly the most breakthrough challenge of Lanli's career, and he has once again proved his talent and ability, EGOT may be crazy or too fast, but no one can deny that he is excellent, and it is insanely good to the point of envy.

Thank God that He-Is-Alive is alive. ”

After much hesitation, Michael once again gave Lan Li unparalleled praise, and the last sentence was a pun, hinting at Ryan Stone's eventual survival on the one hand, and Lan Li-Hall as the best actor of our time on the other.

Overall, Michael's reaction seems to be less crazy than Cannes, but after reading carefully, you can notice in the sharp line that Michael's love and appreciation for Lan Li has risen to a new height, maybe his personal favorite is still "Drunken Country Folk", but now Lan Li is indeed the best actor of our time!

It is no exaggeration to say that from a comprehensive point of view, "Gravity" is Lan Li's most outstanding work so far, and it can even reach the classic height of going down in history.

After writing the review, Michael couldn't help but think of Roger again, and he could imagine how Roger would choose and evaluate.

"I love his performances, but I don't go crazy about them. Why does Hollywood always like that kind of outward performance now? 'Gravity' creates more ups and downs in the plot turning point, giving the performance room to release and deepen the layer, does this mean that it is more outstanding? Only those who truly understand movies and love movies can understand how good Lan Li's performance in 'Drunken Country Folk' is.

But...... I can't deny that the performance of 'gravity', Lan Li is still so good that people are jealous, and age doesn't seem to be an obstacle for him at all. I can't believe I'm missing something, I'm missing out on 'Drunken Folk', I'm missing 'Gravity', and God, I'm really starting to miss those years on Earth now. ”

At one time, Michael and Roger were already looking forward to Lan Li's career, and they were both worried that the light of EGOT would make Lan Li gradually lose himself - it was still March, so Roger sincerely hoped that Lan Li would not complete the feat of EGOT, because he really expected the young actor to create more brilliance.

But now, after EGOT is in the bag, Lanli is still moving forward steadily step by step. Roger should be relieved and regretful at the same time. The heart that loves movies can't continue to beat after all.

The night in the water city of Venice was rippling with cold and bright moonlight, but Michael's mind began to roll, and he couldn't help but start thinking: What if Lan Li won two Oscars this year?

He knew that such an idea was really ridiculous, not to mention that Lan Li would just turn twenty-four two months later, just saying that he had just reached the top for the first time the year before last and achieved the EGOT feat within three years, which had already made Lan Li reach the pinnacle of Hollywood, and it was definitely too hasty and too eager to hit the second letter now.

Even Michael himself doesn't want this, he prefers to choose other actors - not because Lan Li is too young, but because the performances of other actors can be richer and better, and only one face can be seen over and over, which is not a good thing for the entire film industry.

But Michael still couldn't help it, and couldn't help but paint that picture in his mind, as well as Roger's complaints. Before you know it, the night is getting deeper and deeper, the sound of the waves and the cold moonlight are thick in the aroma of coffee, and it is another sleepless night, a night that is so excited that I can't sleep for the movie.

Perhaps, he should pour a glass of whiskey.

After writing the entire film review, Michael did not hesitate to give it a perfect score of 100.

Although the four-star perfect score system in the official catalogue of the Venice Film Festival is the same as that of Berlin and Cannes, because "Gravity" did not participate in the main competition unit, film critics still complete the scoring and review according to the usual 100-point system.

Don't think that perfect reviews are everywhere on the street, in fact, this is Michael's third personal full score this year, the first is "Adele's Life", the second is "Drunken Country Ballad", and now it's only the third. Scarcity means prudence, professionalism, and preciousness.

The banner clearly expresses Michael's personal admiration and love for "gravity".

This film review by "The Hollywood Reporter", because there are no spoilers and because it is profound enough, has launched overwhelming publicity and dissemination in North America, and has received countless praises and feedback.

Later, the editor-in-chief of the magazine signed Michael for the Pulitzer Prize, and sent 15 articles, including this film review, to the past, although he did not win the award, but it was an important opportunity for Michael to reach a higher level in the field of veteran film critics.

The feelings and dreams of film critics are also the source of their passion.

Returning to the premiere of "Gravity" in Venice, the "Hollywood Reporter" is just the beginning, with the appearance of the first media review, all other film reviews have also begun to be published one after another, although the lack of the organization and summary of the official house book, but under the anticipation, the audience is still actively looking for relevant information, and gradually piecing together the whole picture of the matter -

The main competition unit of the 70th Venice Film Festival has not yet officially debuted, but "gravity", which is the opening film, has already detonated a frenzy of praise from the media.

With a full score of 15 out of 15, people can really feel the raging heat wave of Venice.
