At the end of the movie, Shen Ming was a little surprised...

It was also the first time he saw the full version of Joker.

Frankly speaking, there is nothing technically wrong with this film, and the characters are also very conflicting and tense...

Especially the contrast of color and photography.

Each shot is carefully designed with color, light and composition, and there is no flat shot.

The shooting angle and the degree of light and darkness are closely related to the psychological changes of the characters.

Todd Phillips really has all his talent in this movie!

It can be seen that once the comedy becomes serious, it is also very awesome.

But this movie is too dark!

The whole process of watching the movie is extremely uncomfortable...

Twisted souls, ugly humanity, torn societies...

A movie with an antagonist as the protagonist may have his artistic value, but a large-scale release will have a very negative impact.

……

"Arthur was not a completely innocent person, not even from the beginning. He's a textbook narcissist. He not only demanded that the world know him and listen to him, but that he should be worshipped completely. ”

Such a character is unacceptable in real life. But that's what I love about playing this role. I mean, he's very complex, and there's no easy answer to any of the questions that come up in this movie. ”

"Actually, even if the world is kind to him, he can be normal without seeing him!"

"Because he's neurotic, not a normal person, not from the beginning. ”

At the end of the film screening, Shen Ming and Todd Phillips were surrounded by a pair of reporters...

Todd Phillips also explained: "Mainly because he's a character who can't tell the truth, you can never guess whether he's joking or serious, he represents lawlessness, chaos, and he has no desires, such a person can appear in art, we don't want to be him, but you can appreciate his style." ”

Shen Ming continued: "What attracted me to this role is that he is difficult to define, and I have never played a bad guy in the pure sense, so I would like to try it..."

"Of course, I watched 'Taxi Driver', 'The King of Comedy', and read several books about political assassins to understand these killers and their motives. But when I got to the scene, I realized that no amount of research was useless, because it was difficult to find similar characters, so you simply put yourself close to the characters. ”

"Of course Shen Ming is a good actor," Todd Phillips praised, "He can lose 80 pounds for the role, and we discuss how to portray the character every day..."

The reporter asked, "Did the clown played by Heath Ledger affect you?"

"Well, my performance didn't touch on any of the character's past repetitive stuff, and in a way, it felt like a character we had created. ”

In the audience, Pippi looked at Shen Ming, who was going to be interviewed on the stage, with a complicated expression, and then left...

I have to admit that even compared with Heath Ledger's version, Shen Ming's version is not weak!

At least acting...

……

Entrance to the screening room.

There was a long queue ready to buy tickets to see the next show of "Joker"...

Pippi searched for a long time before finding his friend Lin Mu, who saw him and quickly asked, "How is it... How?"

“… It's so depressing, I don't want to watch it a second time anyway!"

"Repression? Is there any Dark Knight repression?"

Pippi said: "That's different, the foundation of "The Dark Knight" is a popcorn commercial film, and "Joker" is pure depression, I don't like to watch it!"

"Is it that bad?"

"It's not bad, it's just... Anyway, you want to see yourself line up. ”

Pipsqueak doesn't know how to explain it...

He didn't like this movie anyway, but this movie wasn't bad at all, and he even watched it very devotedly...

Lin Muleng paused: "If you don't like it, we won't watch it!"

"Alright, let's go!"

After saying that, the two really left the crowd in line...

"What the hell is going on?"

Lin Mu must figure out that he hates to speak half-cut in his life, just like those writers who are out of chapter, forcing readers to give him a reward, disgusting!

(Ask for a tip)

"The three views of this movie are a little crooked..."

Pipsqueak then recounts the story of "Joker" from memory, and then says, "A typical third-rate story..."

"Then how did you stick to it?"

"Shen Ming acted well!"

"How about Heath Ledger?"

"It's a little bit closer, after all, Heath Ledger's clown is the eternal white moonlight in my heart!"

Lin Mu was about to continue asking, when his eyes suddenly lit up, and he directly grabbed his little friend: "... Hurry up!"

"What's wrong again?"

"..."Freedom" has been released, let me tell you, I took a lot of connections to get two tickets!"

Pipsqueak was a little confused: "Freedom?

"Night Jungle Field Battle!"

“… it, really?"

"Of course, why am I lying to you!"

"Hurry up!"

Pippi is anti-customer-oriented...

The scale of the films exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival is also getting bigger and bigger every year.

Homosexuality, bisexuality、...

This is not a thing, some of them are particularly large-scale, and the scene of women giving birth is directly broadcast live without a code throughout the whole process, which is simply unbeatable to the rhythm of flying in the sky.

Why are you so bold?

The heavier the taste of a film, the more it tends to attract attention at the Cannes Film Festival, stirring up debates among the media, audiences and international filmmakers, and the controversy often outweighs the commercial benefits of an electric film.

This type of film is very suitable for offline distribution, and it is easy to recover the cost if you buy 50,000 or 60,000 euros in a country or region.

Do you want to continue selling sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world with color green with me?

……

The next day, both major Cannes magazines and the mainstream media commented on "Joker".

In this gripping film directed by Todd Phillips, Shen Ming plays Batman's sworn enemy, and his performance is impressive enough to compete with Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. —The Guardian

Shen Ming used his outstanding performance to portray a dark, violent, and highly watchable "clown". - "The Screen"

Most of the media agreed that the film itself was not particularly powerful, but Shen Ming's performance completely exceeded expectations!

European and American audiences like to play style directors, but first you have to reach the level of the founding school, there are Bergman, Fellini, Truffaut, "Two Smoking Guns", "Lola Run", "Rhapsody in the Black Shop", that is simply a new structural model.

Todd Phillips is very honest, and the script structure of "Joker" is not novel, but the advantage is that Shen Ming's performance and movie narration are relatively solid, without showing off skills, just telling stories honestly.

When you're not good enough to be good, be honest!

In the end, "Joker" scored 4th with a media score of 3.1, weaker than "Portrait of a Burning Woman" (3.2), "Pain and Glory" (3.3), and "Parasite" (3.5).

By the way, the house magazine score of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is 3.0 points, and the score of "The Party at South Station" is 2.8...

However, the score of the house magazine has little impact on the attribution of film awards, and last year's "Burning" scored 3.8 points, setting the first in the history of the Cannes house magazine, and did not win a single award!
