796 Controversy Vortex

Time's Amy Nicholson was unsparing in her criticism, and even Lan Li's performance failed to make her change her mind, and in the end, she gave a score of "1.5/4", which was only 1.5 out of 4 out of 4. It's slightly better than "Voice of the Village", but it's still a drop in the bucket, and there's not much difference at all.

First "Time Magazine", then "Village Voice", in addition to this, there are a lot of critical voices.

Lisa Schwartzbaum, a film critic for Entertainment Weekly, has never been a fan of Blue Rites. I don't know if it's an illusion, because of the Cornell-McGregor relationship, it seems that the entire "Entertainment Weekly" is full of hostility towards Lan Li; at least it is certain that in Lan Li's previous works, Lisa is difficult to give praise, at most it is only a little weaker criticism, this time she seized such a rare opportunity, how could she miss it?

The ending is a classic anti-climax, and just when everyone in the audience thinks things can't get worse, Tony Kaye strikes back: the film is far from the bottom. ”

The words full of ridicule, full of firepower, without a single dirty word, have already scolded "detachment" to the blood.

"The theme of the whole film is ambiguous, the first half is a 'Dead Poets Society' story, the middle part is a 'away from the casino' story, and the second half is a 'Lolita' story. At the end of the day, Tony Kaye's film about a suburban college tells the story of a cute teacher's little troubles and the girl who falls in love with him.

Lan Li-Hall is undoubtedly endearing, and the look and face in this work have reached the peak of charisma. Those who like 'Twilight' should enjoy this work. ”

Laughing and scolding, snarky, and mocking, Lisa launched an all-round attack on "detachment", and finally ended with a rating of "0.5/4", completely nailing this work to the pillar of shame, and also becoming the lowest rating of Lan Li's career. It can be seen that Lisa is very satisfied with her film reviews.

As an art film festival, Berlin has always adhered to the principle of openness to all criticism and praise, and the essence of art needs to be discussed, shared, and criticized, only in this way can the process of "creation" continue to inspire inspiration. Eliminate those voices of opposition, and leave only those voices of praise, then you can only stand still forever.

Therefore, after the premiere of "Detachment" ended, all kinds of comments could be seen on the official house book, which could almost be said to be shocking.

"Rolling Stone", "1.5/4","'Detachment' pierces a coffin nail into the Bible in an amateurish and crude way, but the whole movie is so empty, so nihilistic, so tedious that no pain is felt." ”

"USA Today", "2/4","The film has unparalleled power, Ranley Hall's performance brought a baptism of soul shock, once again established the position of the new generation of acting frontrunners, Natalie Portman should feel threatened, and at the same time, the film is immersed in an emptiness that cannot be ignored or resisted, as if standing in the ruins of a dollar store, not even knowing what to save, or ...... Is it worth saving?"

"Variety","1.8/4"," Tony Kaye's bold attempt is undoubtedly admirable, he tapped into more of Lan Li's Hale's potential, and once again showed people the strength of top acting, at least three of which are at the actor level, and the rest of every scene is definitely nominated; ”

Although the author's films are always controversial, and many movies are still discredited after 30 or 40 years of precipitation, and the extreme emotions of liking and dislike are still clearly distinguished, however, the criticism of "detachment" is unimaginable, especially the major authoritative media have given ultra-low ratings and bad words, and overnight, almost pushed "detachment" into the abyss that cannot be turned over.

In a trance, the audience applause and question frenzy above the premiere never seemed to have happened. However, this is precisely one of the charms of the Berlinale. The more controversy, the more discussions, and the more fierce the confrontation, which is a sign of the film's popularity.

Those lackluster films that no one wants to discuss, those films that have received rave reviews, all the signs that they are going to win an award, are ignored and often fail to reach the top, and those films that go off the beaten track and have a unique style, with both praise and criticism, can most arouse the frenzy of movie lovers.

Everyone is eager to watch such a movie, interpret and understand it from their own perspective, and then exchange opinions with other people, even if it is a quarrel to the point of red-facedness. Debate, confrontation, game, and collision of ideas, this is the joy of art.

Time Magazine, Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, USA Today, Variety, a total of six media outlets gave negative reviews after the premiere of "Detachment", but in addition to this, nine media outlets, after watching the film, responded with positive reviews, unanimously believing that this is undoubtedly one of the best productions in Berlin this year.

"Screen", an authoritative film magazine from the United Kingdom, has a status in Europe comparable to that of "Variety" and "The Hollywood Reporter" in the United States, and it is only high.

Every year, the magazine collaborates with the three major European film festivals to launch an official house catalogue in which they first invite six to nine professional film critics, who are also officially recognized by the festival, to rate the films and rate them, and secondly, they invite their own professional film critics and other professional film critics in Europe to write reviews of the films above the festival.

Of course, in addition to the official house catalogue of "Screen", other magazines will also launch their own corresponding rating statistics, but they have not been officially recognized by the film festival, and their authority and circulation are not as good as that.

Always being objective, authoritative, professional, artistic, these are the elements of the success of the magazine "Screen".

In addition, there is another important reason, "screen" pays attention to all the dynamics of the film industry, both artistic and commercial, but relatively speaking, artistic works are their top priority, and Hollywood works have received a little less attention, even less than the artistic creation of small and remote countries such as the Middle East or Western Europe.

For the first time, "The Screen" released a film review and sent praise, which also set the overall tone for the controversy vortex of "detachment".

"This is perhaps the finest work on education since Francois-Truffaut's 1966 'Fahrenheit 451'. ”

FranΓ§ois Truffaut, one of the greatest French directors, has been immortalized for his second career, "Four Hundred Blows". Screen magazine measured "detachment" in terms of "Fahrenheit 451 degrees," which in itself is a great analogy.

Truffaut uses a realistic and poetic approach to show the importance of reading, which will serve as a torch for the progress of history and social change, and illuminates the piety of human society, while Kaye discusses the importance of education from a rebellious perspective, and that in addition to survival, wealth, fame, and status, education gives humanity the most precious thing of all: thought.

Choose the idea of freedom, the idea of chasing dreams, the idea of living comfortably, the idea of creating wealth, and the idea of self-achievement. Education gives everyone the right to choose.

However, in contemporary society, people ignore the core of 'ideas' and reduce education to a stepping stone to wealth and fame. This is a regression for society and a sorrow for history. ”

Anthony-Lane, a veteran film critic at Screen magazine, sharply stated Tony Kaye's creative intentions and core ideas, and then further commented on the director and actors.

Kaye chooses an almost documentary shooting method, as well as an almost neurotic camera perspective, a distorted and contradictory way of expression, showing the inner struggle and emptiness of each character, and the film-textured film images and jerky and unpretentious student actors further blur the line between reality and film, and record fragments of life in a semi-real way, presenting a state of confusion and distress.

This is the state of reality, this is the state of education, and this is the state of life. Any viewer, after watching this movie, feels nothingness, chaos and dazedness, even disgust and disgust, and even stings the psychology of a certain part of the education-related people, then, Kaye's purpose has been achieved. ”

It can be seen that Anthony not only expressed his support for Tony, but also secretly satirized those who opposed the critics, killing two birds with one stone. As the official queen film critic of "The Screen", Anthony's attitude is really intriguing, not to mention, this is not the end.

"In addition to directing, young actor Lan Li Hall gave the best performance of his career - not long ago, his starring role in 'Love is Crazy' still managed to impress every audience.

Under Kaye's rough and primitive lens, Hall stripped away all embellishment and carving, and returned to the most basic position of the performance: emotion. All the performances are so simple, yet so subtle, the dramatic tension between gestures breaks the blockade of the dimensional wall, elevates the director's intention and the core of the script to a whole new level, and ends up with no trace in sight. This performance is reminiscent of Helen Mirren in the 'Queen'.

But herein lies the problem, Hall is only twenty-two years old.

Choose one reason to watch this movie, Ranley Hale, two reasons to choose Ranley Hall, Ranley Hall, Three Reasons, Ranley Hall, Tony Kaye. ”

The praise of "Screen" magazine, which is all-round, from the director to the actors, from the script to the core, pushed "detachment" to the peak in one fell swoop, as the official house book of the Berlin Film Festival, Anthony's film reviews have undoubtedly become the leader of the first batch of reviews, and the "3.8/4" score has pushed this controversy to the peak!
