Chapter 684: Humanity
When James Franco appeared, a crazy scene made many people fascinated, dressed in an ordinary magician black dress, his face was clean like a sunny boy, and his magnetic voice sounded like a kind and kind elder, but the words and things he did all showed that there was an extremely evil soul hidden inside this very ordinary exorcist shell!
This strong contrast between the outside and the inside brings a great impact. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After so many years of working as a director, Murphy knows very well how to perfectly integrate the role of Magician with James Franco himself, the real-life James Franco is a sunny on the outside and a different weird guy on the inside, and the setting of the magician is simply combined with his realistic personality, so from the very beginning, James Franco was the only candidate to play this role.
Murphy never considered anyone else for the role of magician.
This role has been recognized by fans without suspense, not to mention ordinary fans, many film critics in the premiere venue all nodded to James Franco.
"I have the impression that James Franco's acting skills are not the best in Hollywood."
Kenneth Turan lowered his voice and said to his old friend Todd McCarthy, who was sitting next to him, "I didn't expect this performance to be so brilliant, far more than the time he played James Dean, just looking at this role, it has reached the best level of Daniel Day-Lewis." ”
"Hmm." Todd McCarthy fully agrees with Kenneth Turan's statement, "Thanks to Murphy Stanton, the role of Magic is well set up, and contrasts often make an actor shine!" ”
The magician robbed the gangsters of their money and had the economic foundation to realize their philosophy in New York City, just like in "Chaos City" and in real society, there are always police officers who fall in front of money, and Jay Rachel and Chris Dane and Inspector Lynch are ready to launch a complete liquidation of the dark forces in New York City.
In one scene, Murphy focuses on Inspector Lynch's assistant, whose mother is seriously ill and hospitalized and lacks funds for treatment.
The pace of the film is very fast, and in addition to the necessary plot development, Murphy will not ignore the action scenes that fans value, which are a great weapon to attract fans.
In the VIP room in Los Angeles, Leonardo DiCaprio was also watching the movie intently, and despite the many disagreements with Mo before, he just wanted to take a good look at the film at this moment, and from the perspective of a producer and film studio owner, this film has so much to learn from him.
Especially the magician, as the plot deepens, he makes Leonardo DiCaprio feel for the first time that the original villain can be so brilliant and charming, completely overpowering the protagonist.
From the glimpse of the bank robbery at the beginning to the madness of the gangster at the back, the magician has a unique charm.
Chris Dane's limelight is almost stealing the limelight from him.
This film is really outstanding, Leonardo DiCaprio and "City of Chaos" were good enough, but this "Dark City" has been released until now, and it is full of darkness, serious to the point of suffocation, but it is charming.
"What Murphy Stanton brings to the table is a completely different noir crime action movie, even unlike any previous action movie."
Leonardo DiCaprio's mind is very sane and very sure of this, the bank robbery, the real and false night walkers, the magician fighting the gangsters, Chris Dane's Hong Kong chase, the film never let the audience breathe, the rhythm is tight like a dense drum beat, driving people's emotions to rise to higher places.
Jay Rachel and Chris Dane's actions have cornered the gangsters, they hire magicians who don't even know themselves, and magicians become a nightmare for the whole of New York City, with the help of police insiders, the justices are on a dirt plane with the car, the police chief is poisoned in the office, and the fake night walker is killed by the magician live......
One after another who upheld the laws of New York died under the butcher's knife of the magician.
The magician deliberately left a message announcing that if the Nightcrawler did not publicly remove his mask, the killing would continue, and even Jay Rachel and her councillor's father were on the magician's death list.
"This is the real NB character!"
Watching the magician on the screen make the whole of New York panic, Daisy was intoxicated, "This ...... It's my idol! ”
Compared with magicians, the villains in the past movies are simply weak!
Magicians are crazy, without any bottom line and guidelines, Chris Dann has his own bottom line, is restricted by magicians everywhere, in the face of the magician's death threats, the citizens who once regarded the Nightcrawler as the hope of New York, Howe did not hesitate to ask the Nightcrawler to stand up, take off that mask, and take his share of responsibility.
In a time of crisis, the citizens of New York have betrayed their hopes!
"Humanity!"
Peter Truckee, a professional film critic for "Rolling Stone," shook his head, "That's human nature!" ”
Although he was shaking his head, he really wanted to run in front of Murphy Stanton and give him a thumbs up directly, isn't this the best manifestation of human nature? In the real society, when people are threatened, who doesn't think of themselves first? As for the hope of the city, go to hell.
I don't know why, many fans have a depressed feeling when they see this scene, Chris Dane has paid so much for New York, and in the end, New Yorkers don't care about him at all.
Is it worth it to almost give his life for a group of people who don't care about him at all?
"A pack of white-eyed wolves!" Daisy muttered to herself, "If it were me, I'd have blown them all out with an automatic rifle!" ”
Chris Dane in the film faces this difficult choice, and human nature seems extremely heavy, extremely dark, and extremely depressing at this moment!
This scene is indeed very touching, but Richard Brody, the film critic of "The New Yorker", frowned slightly, and it has become a habit to pick thorns from one film after another in the past, and then a thought unconsciously popped up, isn't there a bright side to human nature?
He shook his head, Murphy Stanton saw human nature too darkly!
On the screen, Chris Dane meets Jay Rachel in his penthouse, and the two develop a strategy that they think is very complete for the magician.
At a press conference called, Jay Rachel announced that the Night Walker would reveal his identity on the spot, and a male assistant prosecutor came forward and was immediately arrested by the police, and when the police were about to transfer him to a prison outside of Manhattan, the magician who had been ignoring him appeared.
A fiery car chase has broken out!
On the big screen, the magician begins the hunt for the assistant prosecutor posing as Chris Dane, and it seems that the climax of the film is about to begin.
In that IMAX theater in Los Angeles, when Vin Diesel saw the car chase appear, he noticed that the screen seemed to have changed a little, and the deafening sound effects made the picture more impactful, as if it were all like he was standing on the high ground and taking in the panoramic view.
He is good at making car chases himself, and compared to the "Fast and Furious" series, he quickly noticed the difference, compared to the 3D production of "Fast and Furious 6", the graphics here cover every inch of the huge screen......
That's the effect of IMAX!
Next to the position, Leonardo DiCaprio stared intently at the screen, nodding subconsciously, when IMAX is combined with top directors and commercial films, the effect presented is simply ...... Shock!
In nearly 200 IMAX theaters across the United States, many people's eyes are firmly glued to the big screen.
Although it doesn't happen in front of you like the 3D effect of "The Polar Express", the visual impact of this action scene makes many people's eyes widen, and they are reluctant to leave the screen at all.
"The plot setting and the magician's performance are wonderful, but the visuals are just as amazing!"
Inside the New York State Theatre, Kenneth Turran, a film critic from the Los Angeles Times, muttered, "The combination of human anxiety and gripping commercial attributes is definitely one of Murphy Stanton's best films!" ”
Suddenly, there are intermittent shouts around him, and Kenneth Turan's attention returns to the big screen, and it turns out that the brand-new Nightcrawler superbike is unveiled.
Magic is always crazy, and even uses himself as a tool in order to break Chris Dane's bottom line, but Chris Dane guards the bottom line in his heart and would rather get hurt himself than break the rules of perseverance.
Just as the magician crouched next to the unconscious Chris Dane and wanted to remove his mask, Inspector Lynch, who had been shot while commemorating the chief of police, appeared and the magician was arrested......
"That's the end of it?"
Justin looked down at his watch, the film had been shown for more than ninety minutes, the magician had been captured, and it seemed as if the movie should really be over.
But he always felt that something was missing from this end.
The plot was soon explained, the magician was deliberately caught, and he took advantage of Chris Dane and Jay Rachel's plan, not only successfully escaped from prison, took away the gangster accountant, but also gave Chris Dane a multiple-choice question.
With the help of the police Neiying, he captures Jay Rachel and her councillor's father, and Chris Dane can only save one person himself.
Chris Dane will certainly go to save his buddy and the bright future of New York City! Even if he knew it meant that Jay Rachel might hate himself for it.
