Chapter 369: The Freshest! (Urgently Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Just got back from the midnight show in an IMAX theater and finally knew why this movie was getting so much attention......"

In this summer of fireflies, whether it is the prospective audience waiting in line all night to watch the movie, or the moviegoers who are entangled in various emotions and can't sleep, "Firefly" brings shock, but also brings a seemingly long night.

Many fans have logged on to the Internet and poured into various rating websites, blog forums and other places to score "Firefly" and share their first-time viewing experience. On the BFCA (North American Broadcast Film Critics Association, which hosts the Critics' Choice Awards) community forum, fan user Thomas D just finished watching the IMAX midnight show and shared his comments.

"To avoid spoilers, I just want to say that it exceeded all imagination and expectations. At the end of the movie, all the audience sighs sadly, a theater the size of the Colosseum is full of complexities, and everyone is completely stabbed by the magic Jan, which is the most brutal scene in the history of cinema, but also the most beautiful. It is a cultural phenomenon that people taste together and feel pain together.

"Fireflies" is so much more amazing than I expected, it contains so many incredible elements that it blends together as well as the hype, and it shows thought-provoking artistry that will undoubtedly make it more potentially impactful. It will have its detractors, just because someone has slapped it in the face for the fact that the director is magical Young, they deserve to be cleaned up by the blue gloves, they are the ones who stand in the way of the good world running. On the contrary, people will be willing to go to the theater and watch this movie over and over again, because it is so great, the movie gives us too much shock and ambiguity that lingers in our minds, and we leave ourselves with a feeling of constant thinking and fanaticism, which will follow you to live, follow you to sleep, forever. โ€

Stephen E, a fan of the movie, followed the post: "I go to a regular theater, but I'm definitely going to see it again! โ€

He also posted a theme post praising the actors' performances: "Robert Downey Jr. is great! Heath Ledger is great! All the actors in "Firefly" have an incredible outburst, I didn't expect Wang Yang to have such an impressive performance, it can't be described as cool! I love Captain Whirlwind! At the same time I have to say that Jessica Alba scared me, she kept her cold face and didn't have any facial performances, but the martial arts scenes were really fascinating, and I was surprised by Alan Pegg, I wasn't a fan of her before, but she was really amazing! And I liked the girl who was Captain Whirlwind, Megan Fox, she was amazing. โ€

"Just got back from midnight! very, very excited! Awesome!" Elizabeth-N wrote: "First of all, I'm most happy that Firefly didn't make me feel like Amazing Young has disappeared, or don't know what he's talking about, he's still the same Amazing Young, getting better and better! He's led his team to create a new sci-fi world, and he held on until the last second, OO! Can you think of a western cowboy, kung fu, Asian culture, intergalactic sci-fi all in one movie? I know it's still early, but those guys are right! They are already talking about the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Score, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects...... Believe me, the look of the film is already new, unique, and beautiful to the point of being completely stunned for a long time. โ€

"I was blown away tonight! I was watching the movie in an IMAX theater that was full of people and there was a long line. "I don't think I've ever seen a movie where the audience spontaneously applauded for 3 minutes after the movie and then got together to discuss the film, and it just made some exciting discussions and admiration, which made me happy, and they all said that the appearance of Firefly marked the birth of a new culture of interstellar sci-fi, and I quite agree." โ€

According to the market analysis of various media, the market audience of "Firefly" is very large, including interstellar sci-fi fans, kung fu action fans, and western cowboy fans...... The question was how not to make the audience feel "impossible" and "messy", and the influence and strong publicity of Miracle Yang undoubtedly provided an opportunity for the audience to walk into the theater with interest and anticipation, and now they are raving about the beauty of the film.

"God bless, God bless......" In the dimly lit bedroom, Jessica's prayer was completely inaudible, she knew that staying up late was not good for the baby, but she really couldn't sleep without looking at the evaluation response of "Firefly"! The baby couldn't sleep either! She and the baby wanted to know too much about the audience's general evaluation, and what the film critics had to say this time! While Wang Yang was asleep, Jessica quietly climbed up, turned on the computer and went straight to IMDB.

The IMDB website is a major battlefield for die-hard movie fans, and if Firefly doesn't score well on it, you can imagine the situation.

Remembering the scenes after the release of "The Devil Wears Prada" at the end of 2003, Jessica was so nervous that she could barely breathe, and she could also feel that the baby in her belly was also super nervous, the baby was shouting "Oh my God", and her hand holding the mouse was shaking! At first, she didn't think that "The Demon Wearer Prada" would have any accidents, and it was like that at the box office, she was already surprised and proud, and she didn't ask for anything more, but she didn't want him to suffer those cynicisms, which would drive her crazy...... "God forbid." Jessica prayed silently, took a sip of warm water to calm down, and then opened the IMDB page of "Firefly" and looked at the rating!

"Poof-ahem!Oh my, ahem-" The computer screen was full of slippery water trails, and it was precisely because Jessica, who saw the score, squirted out a mouthful of water, and then choked and coughed, her face was full of incredulity and shock, "Oh my God!!Ahem......" Such a big movement suddenly woke up Wang Yang on the bed on the right, he opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Hey, naughty ghost! baby wants to sleep!" Jessica blinked her eyes that had been fixed for a century, and sighed softly: " Oh, my God. โ€

She turned around, and Wang Yang couldn't help but be a little worried about whether the baby had knocked over, Jessica suddenly danced happily, smiled with all her teeth, and roared with ecstatic face: "My dear, please call me invincible, incredible, incredible, super beautiful, crazy and amazing...... Perfect Riva!"

โ€œOโ€”โ€”Kใ€‚ Wang Yang was stunned and laughed, first he was amused by her, and secondly, he seemed to have a good evaluation? He smiled and stood up, and asked, "Then Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg naughty ghost, what happened?"

Since the last time he was humiliated and defeated in "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grade Elementary School Student?", Wang Yang has carefully checked the geographical knowledge of the lake, and then discovered the name of the longest lake in the world, the "Chargog Gagogman Chobnagangamog" lake in Massachusetts, the name of the lake was given by the Indians who lived here earlier, according to the original Indian meaning: "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, and no one can fish in the middle."

"Haha!" Jessica had always admired him for being able to pronounce the name of the lake so smoothly, but now she didn't want to care about anything, she waved her hands and screamed out the answer: "9.8 points!! YEAH!! IMDB's TOP250 list, "Firefly" 9.8 points โ€”โ€”!!!"

Overnight, there was a classic science fiction movie in film history, and there were many more classic characters on the screen, the chic and uninhibited and soft-hearted Captain Marr, the heroic and brave Captain Whirlwind, and Sven's elegant and crazy blue gloves...... There are a lot of unforgettable and moving classic pictures, and fans also have more controversies and discussions...... It was also overnight that IMDB's TOP250 list changed hands for the first time in film history, and the film that pulled "The Godfather" off the top spot for the first time in nearly ten years, and the champion belongs to "Firefly" with a score of 9.8!!

This near-perfect IMDB score is like "Ghost Record", which really scares many people! It naturally shocked all the fans and media who were already paying close attention to "Firefly", 45,812 voting users, 9.8 points!?

""Firefly" IMDB ascended to the altar", "The opening of "Firefly" was highly praised, and a new first IMDB was born", ""Firefly" was highly praised and crazy opened, and the magic Yang performed the return of the king"...... According to reports by Yahoo Entertainment and other websites, there has been an astonishing change in the IMDB-TOP250 list! "Firefly," which was released worldwide yesterday, reached the altar with an explosive start of 9.8 points! However, Yahoo Entertainment, which ranked "Firefly" as the second most anticipated movie this summer, is not surprised.

Although IMDB's scoring system seems to be the most democratic approach, DB uses a "Bayesian method", with the TOP250 final score = (vรท(v+m))ร—R+(mรท(v+m))ร—C. In short, in addition to the user's rating, the number of voters, active user votes, etc., will affect the TOP250 score, ensuring the fairness and relevance of this ranking to the greatest extent.

In the case of "Firefly", the soaring number of voters and the fanaticism of the fans all determine the direction of its rating on IMDB, and there are countless fans of Wonder Young, and those who like "Firefly" are extremely fanatical!!

"It's not a strange thing that when you watch a movie as gorgeous and passionate as Firefly, when you're surrounded by surprises, it's hard to make a more sober and rational judgment about the quality of the film, and a score of 9 becomes a 10. And we know that after watching a movie, most of the people who will go to IMDB to vote for it are the hardcore of the film, and it is not difficult to understand that the opening score of "Firefly" reached 9.8 points. โ€

Yahoo Entertainment's report says so, and the article says that on the other hand, there is a deeper "collective unconscious" factor at work, and it has always been difficult for most people to assert their own judgment under a frenzied praise or denigration, and even aesthetic tastes will be affected, which is called influence. "With Firefly receiving so much praise from critics and IMDB, you wouldn't say 'no' to it if you didn't hate Magic Young. โ€

What's more, "Firefly" conquered the hearts of the first batch of fans and audiences in a strong way, and only then did it win this blockbuster hymn. Of course, not all fans are its fanatics, ""Firefly" is a classic, but it is far from being the first in film history", "The Godfather" is the first. โ€โ€ฆโ€ฆ The second "The Godfather" scored 9.2 points, and the third "The Shawshank Redemption" scored 9.1 points. The 9.8 score of "Firefly" will definitely gradually decline, especially when a fan war is about to begin!

Having lost the championship that has been held for many years overnight, the die-hard fans of "The Godfather" will not sit idly by, and if the TOP250 score of "Firefly" is still high, they will inevitably launch a tidal wave of offensive to cast a large number of 1 points on it, even if the fan originally wanted to give "Firefly" a score of 8. On the other hand, in order to maintain the top position, the die-hard fans of "Firefly" will not stop there, and will deliberately brush 1 point for "The Godfather".

However, this is not just about "The Godfather", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Golden Three", "Vulgar", "Twelve Angry Men", "Schindler's List", "One Flew Over the Asylum", "The Lord of the Rings 3", "Star Wars 2", ...... Those fans who don't like Magic Young, don't like "Firefly" and "can't see it" will come to help, so the hardcore fans of "Firefly" who are excited to learn the score of 9.8 know that they are facing a cruel war, "Come on, let's have a new Shanxi battle!", "Interstellar cowboys are not afraid of anyone!...... According to an authoritative source on IMDB.com, this battle for the top spot among fanatical fans will inevitably begin, but at present, the trend of "Firefly" has just begun, and no one knows what its popularity will develop.

In any case, this summer, now, "Firefly" has given the world a huge shock, both inside and outside the film, it has shaken the entire film industry, movie fans, and film critics around the world!

The law of office buildings? Nobody says that now. No one said that. Marvelous Young's enthusiasm for movies has declined? Unhappy on the screen? Marriage has made him lose his fighting spirit? Western cowboys and Chinese culture can't merge? Brad Pitt made the right choice? Heath Ledger made the wrong decision? Jessica Alba is the Wonder Young nemesis? He frantically praises the nobody, Alan Pegg, for becoming a nervous Young? Is it nonsense to play a big supporting role in person? Elle Fanning self-destructs her future?...... Will "Firefly" be a failure? None of them say that.

"Amazing Jan, how handsome you are! Fireflies are so smart, I'm fascinated. โ€”A+, Larmi Lager, Film;" Under Wang's direction, Ledger completely loses himself and creates his best performance. โ€”4/4, Brett Michelle, Boston Phoenix; If you don't go to see this movie, it may be the biggest sorrow of the year. โ€”4.5/5, Wigg-Fraser, Needcoffee; "Fireflies show amazing quality and a culture that leads the times, and without a doubt, it's one of the best and most important films of the year. โ€”A+, David Case, "Director Wang Yang's long-hyped and long-awaited Firefly is not only fabulous, the best film of the summer, it's probably also the best film of the year, a huge product that's guaranteed to rock you." โ€”4/4, Sula Wood, CultureVulture...... The fans and viewers who landed on Rotten Tomatoes to score "Firefly" were all frightened, and their hearts were pounding! I have to say that there is a more serious "collective unconscious", and the voice of media critics will play some key role, even if the director is Wang Yang.

Rotten Tomatoes contains 167 latest film reviews of Firefly, with a 98% freshness rating (163/167) by popular critics, 100% freshness by well-known critics (35/35), and 98% by audience liking (96,424 rating users)!

"YES!!Amazing Young is back!haha!It's Firefly time!!" Claire in front of the computer screen clapped and laughed excitedly, and that's what it said!And four guys gave a bad review of a sci-fi blockbuster, was it for Amazing Young?Esplatter's Garth Franklin: "Firefly is a terrible movie with over-entertainment, and fans will love it." Claire smiled and shook her head, she rummaged but couldn't find the comments of some young film critics such as Jeffrey Westerhoff of the Northwest Herald, apparently they didn't say anything for the time being, they all shut up the fuck! Claire laughed out loud: "Coward, shrunken turtle!"

Browsing these 100% fresh movie reviews, ordinary audience Sean sighed "wow" again and again, and after watching it for a while, he also gave it five stars, writing: "I was mentally prepared to like this movie, but I was still surprised to find it!" The unexpectedness is in this movie, and in my opinion, it has the best battle scenes, scenes, and humor of the whole movie, giving people the urge to watch it again, and I'm going to go to the IMAX theater next week to watch it again. Evelyn had already scored a full score last night, and now she is looking at the latest situation on the Internet, IMDB-TOP250 is as high as 9.8 points, Rotten Tomatoes 98%/100% fresh, 98% like "Wow......โ€”โ€”!

"'Firefly' isn't the greatest, but it has everything great, and this is the ninth directorial work of the 25-year-old Wang Yang, and he has broken all doubts in a shocking way, but I still have questions, where are his limits?" โ€” 4/4, Andre Gronvall, The Chicago Reader; From the perspective of entertainment business, this is a classic film that makes people's blood boil, surging passion, moved to tears, and cannot let go for a long time, and in terms of artistic connotation, it is a classic film that deserves to be carefully interpreted and tasted, and to explore the intention and idea behind its lens. โ€”A+, Lisa Kennedy, The Denver Post.

"Fireflies is a deceptively simple but incomparably profound epic, the tip of the iceberg is enough to shock people, and it is a wonderful science fiction movie that puts Hollywood to shame, so great!" โ€”A+, Richard Roper, "Ebert & Roeper"; "Firefly" has a great imagination, a variety of mysterious atmospheres, powerful special effects and wonderful rhythms, some cunning verbal wit and too much clever political satire, Wang Yang is a real bombshell. โ€”4/4, Roger Albert, Chicago Sun-Times...... When the box office data on the opening day of June 17 yesterday was released, such as the IMDB score and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes, everyone was shocked!
