1519 Phenomenal works
Chris Hemsworth and Lance Hall, one was born with the comic superhero works of "Thor", his handsome appearance and muscular figure have won him the love of countless fans, and the other has created a small world of his own on the road of acting, and his elegant temperament and handsome face have become a representative aristocratic actor in Hollywood.
The two actors are strangers because of the boiling "borrowed door".
In fact, after the news broke out, Chris's career fell into a brief trough, but relying on Marvel Studios' contract to play Thor, he still managed to stop the loss in time, and this year ushered in a small outbreak-
Not only is "Thor 2" about to be released, but also starring in the biographical film "Extreme Wind/Stream" directed by Ron Howard, both commercial and artistic aspects are beginning to open up. This is also considered to be an important attempt for Chris to move towards the awards season and open up the way to the show.
In other words, Chris has now established himself in Hollywood, and he is seeking more than just a superhero idol, but also wants to go further. It can be seen that the international innovation management company standing behind Chris is clearly expecting more, and Brad Pitt is the best template for Chris Hemsworth.
International Innovation Management, one of the top five agencies in the industry, is well positioned to compete with innovative artist agencies, including Chris Hemsworth and the recent Vin Diesel. Even in the face of Lan Li's strong momentum sweeping through thousands of troops, he was fearless.
But the premise is that they don't bother to take the initiative to provoke trouble if it's not necessary. Especially in the past period, Lan Li is challenging the existing salary ceiling on behalf of actors throughout Hollywood, which is beneficial to all actors and all agencies, and the international innovation management company will naturally not dismantle the stage internally.
Therefore, in the past period of time, the related news between Lan Li and Chris, Lan Li and Diesel has been completely calm and seems to have completely disappeared. That's one of the important reasons.
Of course, for major media reporters, the status and ability of the two actors are no longer on the same level, and there is no need to hold on to that little bit of old things, and it is not interesting to fry cold rice over and over again; the most important thing is that there is really not much intersection between the two actors, and before the premiere of "Gravity", the reporters chose Affleck instead of Chris.
But in fact, the "Chris VS Lanli" duel is obviously much more intensive at the end of this year.
"Extreme Wind/Stream" chose to be released on September 20, and after the Toronto Film Festival ended, it was officially put into the promotion of the awards season, and after being screened in five theaters in the first week, it received a good reputation, and the second week was directly added to 2,300 rooms, but unfortunately the expansion results were not ideal, and the following week it encountered a strong sniper of "gravity", and the box office plummeted by 55% on the weekend of the third week, which almost ended the process of the awards season in advance for art films.
Then, three weeks later, on November 8, "Thor 2: The Dark World" will also be released in 4,000 theaters, aiming at the family market and fan market during the Thanksgiving schedule, looking forward to achieving good results, but now it is unexpectedly facing the outbreak of "gravity" large-scale sweeping market potential, and this year's holiday trend has suddenly become unpredictable.
Objectively speaking, the two works of "Extreme Wind/Stream" and "Thor 2" did not go head-to-head with "Gravity", and the box office battle was completely dislocated and could not be generalized, but the media were already interested in it, and would rather hype up the showdown of "Affleck VS Lanli" than discuss the matter of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, which can be regarded as progress or regression - it depends on whose position it is standing on.
If the media had learned of the unexpected clash between Lan Li and Chris at this year's Cannes Film Festival, they might have been a little more interested.
But sadly, there are no ifs. Unconsciously, Lan Li and Chris have no involvement at all, and have embarked on two completely different paths.
In addition to the top five works, the work that ranked sixth in this week's box office list is also worth mentioning, it is Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "Don Juan" written, directed and acted by himself, this work is really full of gimmicks, attracting a flock of literary and artistic youth, and it was officially released last week, and the cumulative box office this week has exceeded 16 million US dollars!
For reference, the investment cost of this film is only three million.
The first week of October came to an end on the North American Film Market, and the unexpected situation caused an uproar, and "gravity" became the absolute focus of attention, and everyone was talking about the work - not an exaggeration, but a literal reality, and everyone participated in the discussion, as if they had not heard of this work yet, it was completely behind the tide of the times.
This situation is even noisier than this year's summer file. This is definitely the most turbulent work after "Inception" in 2010.
However, the original "Inception" was because of brain-burning, and the suspense at the end of the story with many dream levels detonated the enthusiasm of every audience for discussion, but this "gravity" is definitely not the case.
is relatively simple and has a somewhat weak plot, and there is no room for discussion at all, not to mention, if it is a brain-burning work like "Inception", which is beyond the acceptance and understanding ability of the general public, and the box office data is not easy to create higher results, so, what is "gravity" all about?
First, the environment and texture presented by the film are so realistic, far more realistic than any other film about space in history, so how real is it? Is it more realistic than the weightlessness created by Apollo 13, which was filmed in collaboration with NASA?
This is undoubtedly the hottest question.
Even if we haven't dreamed of being in space, we are at least curious about what a zero-gravity environment looks like, and furthermore, what does a spacewalk feel like?
"Gravity" now presents such a magnificent picture, and with the double bonus of 3D and IMAX, every audience can really feel the shock in person.
So, how much of this is true?
Countless netizens have started a debate, astronomy lovers, physics researchers, theoretical knowledge kings and other enthusiastic netizens have begun to eagerly express their opinions, from all angles and levels to analyze, to see which pictures in the movie are real and which details are wrong.
It's like "Inception" at the beginning, each expressing their own opinions and arguing endlessly. Everyone considers themselves an expert.
Second, does the end of the movie have a metaphor?
In fact, this question is from Venice to Toronto to New York, almost every meeting of the main creators must have an audience ask, because the performance brought by Lan Li is really too shocking under Alfonso's lens, and that kind of emotional reverberation completely ignores all the five senses, directly acts on the soul, and truly feels the baptism from the inside out.
That's why the audience can't help but give a standing ovation at the end of each screening!
But Alfonso Cuarón and Lan Li Hall never responded positively, to which Lan Li replied.
"There were many conversations between the director and the actors from the conception to the shooting of this film, and we were always discussing how to interpret a question about the nature of life in the most concise way. From the composition of the shots to the details of the performance, we are sculpting and adjusting little by little.
When we look at the finished product, we realize that our purpose has been achieved. Then, the rest of the understanding and reading will be left to the audience, and everyone must have their own viewing experience, and you can interpret it at will. That's what we insist on in the process of creating the film. ”
As Lan Li said, every audience has their own interpretation.
Some people think that the ending is emphasizing the importance of gravity, and that human beings still belong to the earth after all, some people think that there is no need to over-interpret it, it is just the joy of Ryan's escape from death, and some people think that the movie is implying that Ryan has escaped the crisis of space, but still has to face the crisis of the deep mountains and jungles.
At the moment, one of the most popular views on social networks is:
The whole film hints at the origin of life, including the composition of the universe that resembles the son/house, and at the end of the film, Ryan interprets the process from plankton to reptiles to walking upright, showing the evolution and evolution of life - humans must rely on gravity to survive, but constantly resist gravity.
Further, from the process of life evolution projection to the inner sublimation of the metamorphosis, the two characters' understanding of life is also the core content throughout, which undoubtedly infiltrates the understanding of philosophy and belief into the story, which can be simply summarized as - what are people born for, where do they come from, and where do they go?
However, this kind of view has been complained by many ordinary viewers about "over-interpretation", they think that this is just a popcorn movie, and the huge and profound connotation is not so exaggerated at all, not as good as the original "Inception" and "Dark Knight", nor as good as the previous "Avatar", these are just deliberately pursuing.
Whether it's praise or refutation, but what is certain is that the discussion frenzy is far from over, and before you know it, "gravity" is becoming a phenomenal work.
