Any film will be criticized, because no work can achieve perfection, and because of the perseverance of picking and criticizing, which is one of the job of film critics, not to mention, the thriller and horror genre is inherently more susceptible to criticism, which is determined by the characteristics of genre films. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "buried alive" is no exception.

Among the many praises, Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwazbaum was unwavering in her rejection, even disgust, for the film: "The film is undoubtedly stupid and narcissistic. The interpretation of the political perspective is monotonous and rigid, or stupid, and even has an impact on the visual effect and viewing pleasure of the film itself. Hall's performance is the only highlight of the entire film. ”

Lisa's point of view can be said to be completely new, and the film's connection and critique of reality, as the core idea, has been unanimously praised by most critics, who believe that it is a good complement to the depth and thickness of the work, but Lisa thinks that it has become a burden.

In a detailed film review of "Entertainment Weekly", Lisa criticized this and righteously argued that Rodrigo, as a Spaniard, not only lacked awareness of American society, but also lacked sensitivity to political developments, and his blunt and superficial interpretation seriously affected the quality of the entire film. Hidden behind this film review, there may be a glimpse of Lisa's political/political stance.

This is a myth that people have about the media, and they have the impression that the media always seems to maintain a neutral and objective position, respect the facts, protect the facts, and reveal the facts. But in fact, every reporter, editor-in-chief, columnist, they have their own cultural, religious, economic, and social backgrounds, and when reporting on the same thing, perspectives and opinions will inevitably be biased, which is inevitable, and the choice of words and sentences will be different; moreover, all major media have their own political/political attributes, for example, in the United States, whether it is a Democratic Party or a Republican Party, Catholicism, Christianity or other denominations, which will have an impact on the news coverage of the media.

Just like in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, even the "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times" reported on the biased views, so that the elites were convinced that Hillary-Clinton could win before the election results, but voters in the central region gave the elites a heavy punch. The same is true for Brexit, where London's elite is completely dumbfounded by the outcome.

This is the most direct manifestation of the bias in media reports.

Obviously, Lisa's disagreement with the political/political views expressed in "Buried Alive" also affects her perception of the film as a whole.

However, Lisa is clearly not alone, and there are two other critics who hold similar views to her, and they have gone a step further, putting aside their political/political views to criticize and criticize the film itself. Peter-Travis from "The Rolling Stones" was even more fiery in rhetoric, and it could quite well be said that it was full of gunfire.

"If you're a mediocre and tedious thriller with a penchant for tormenting – and I'm not sure if 'zealous' is the right word – to be buried alive in a coffin for a hundred minutes, and worse, claustrophobia in a cramped space, with unimaginative cheap props that completely ruin the film's creative power and the depth of the script, then you are welcome to the cinema. Other than that, the only thing that can help the audience survive this disaster is not Hall's handsome face, but Hall's excellent performance. ”

Although "Rolling Stone" is still the most authoritative and popular music professional magazine in North America, it has begun to transform into a comprehensive magazine since entering the new century, and thanks to its broad mass base, their film reviews also have a large readership.

Obviously, Pete's aversion to "being buried alive" is all-encompassing, except for Lan Li. James-Benard, a film critic for the film magazine Village Voices, agreed.

"The weak script barely had much room to play, and we could only watch the actors get stuck in place, screaming, frightened, crying, and then repeating it all over again, looking like a schoolboy's trick on Halloween. Hall did his best to give an actor-level performance, but he still couldn't save the whole movie from being bad. We've endured enough of 'Chainsaw' and prayed that 'Buried Alive' doesn't make a series. ”

Compared to James's harsh criticism, Lisa's comments look like accusations of love, and it can be clearly felt that James is not in the least interested in "burying alive" the work, and even Lan Li's performance cannot save him from rejection.

Among the nine reviews in the official house book, six were positive and three were negative, and the shining debut of "Buried Alive" completely fired the first shot, but what is even more commendable is that from the long applause after the premiere, to the tireless entanglement of reporters and audiences, and then to the recognition of the official house book, the film was suddenly pulled into the spotlight from a remote corner where it was coldly received, and countless eyes were projected one after another, and only then did people notice that there was such a work at this year's Toronto Film Festival.

More importantly, whether it was praise or criticism, Lan Li's performance was unanimously praised, even the comments of "Rolling Stone" and "Village Voice", and the name "Lan Li-Hall" began to appear frequently in the newspapers.

Almost effortlessly, people's memories are awakened - the newcomer who just won the Emmy Awards, the folk singer who just made a splash on YouTube, and deservedly the most discussed artist on the Internet in the past month, and now, the previous craze has not completely subsided, people are still surprised by the breakthrough of "Cleopatra" on the billboard, and now the Toronto Film Festival has ushered in good news. It's simply ...... Wave after wave.

Who is Lan Li?

The questions seem endless, with a wave of questions after the Emmys, a wave of questions after "Ophelia," and now another one after the Toronto Film Festival in full swing. There are more and more focuses around Lan Li, and the mysterious aura is getting more and more, and the discussion boom is sweeping again.

The first to react was undoubtedly the media peers.

The Toronto Film Festival is an international stage, and unlike the independent productions screened in North American art theaters, any film here feels the attention of people from all over the world, and thousands of journalists from more than 400 media outlets around the world are stationed here. Any slight disturbance may attract the eyes of the "wolf pack".

Who has won the hearts of so many professional media, and has been riding the dust in the word-of-mouth feedback of the official house magazine, currently only behind the acclaimed "Blue Valentine's Day", and has become one of the most discussed works since the opening of the festival as a dark horse, with broken glasses scattered all over the ground?

Who is it who has fought his way out of a bloody path in a piece of word-of-mouth, and has received indiscriminate praise as an unknown newcomer, and every time he finds a detail, the surprise adds a point: he is still more than two months old and turns twenty-one, the second work of his career as an actor, the first work on the big screen, and the Spanish work with a mere investment of three million, beating nearly a thousand competitors to get the favor of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks?

Who stole the highlight moment belonging to the "Thieves in the City", who stole the glory moment belonging to Ben Affleck, under the grandeur of last night's premiere, the sweep of thousands of troops reported by the media today is almost predictable, but who would have thought that the headlines on the front pages of the major media are "Thieves in the City" and Ben Affleck, but the hot topic is Lanley Hall's?

Interestingly, the euphoria of the European media is in no way inferior to that of North America. For the North American media, they are thrilled that the Toronto Film Festival has another dark horse, and this is an English-language production, which means that it will be released in North America, and may even be the dark horse of the awards season - just like the "Hollywood reporter" predicted.

For the European media, they are excited that the capital of the film comes from Spain, the director and shooting team are all Spanish, and the actor Lan Li is British, this is a European film with pure blood. So, who is Rodrigo Cortez? and who is Ranley Hall?

Andy Rogers' mobile phone has been completely blown up, because "Buried Alive" is an independent work, the producer is Rodrigo Cortez, the media can't find a publicist at all, they can only contact him;

In the next twenty-four hours, Andy's mobile phone hardly had a moment to rest, and it continued to ring, and there was an endless stream of interviews about "buried alive" and interviews about Lan Li.

Generally speaking, on the top stage of the three major European film festivals, there may be more than 150 media outlets for a film, and the whole interview process will last for four to five days, and there will be almost no breaks, but it is more difficult for independent films with less attention, most of them will be less than 50 - such a number is already coveted for independent films.

But now, at least 90 media outlets are booking interviews for "buried alive" and Lan Li, and the number continues to rise. It can be clearly felt that with the gradual fermentation of the reputation of "buried alive", the attention of the media will rise sharply.

This is undoubtedly a wonderful thing for Lan Li, the starting point of other actors is at most in the United States, and Lan Li's first step is to complete a blockbuster appearance on the international stage in Toronto, such a shining debut, instantly attracting attention from all over the world, it is a dream.

In contrast, "The Thief in the City" broke out on the night of the premiere, and then seemed to slowly fall silent, and the limelight was completely "buried alive", which really made Ben feel crusted for a while;
