Hollywood's film critics have always been a rather interesting existence. They will always make all kinds of comments, accusations or praises on newly released movies, and use their pen strokes to brand a movie as good or bad. And this kind of comment, every time it comes to December, there will be a lot of people who pay attention, which seems to be a rule in the commentary world.

And this year, naturally, the same. However, it seems that this year, people have discovered another pattern - every time Levy's film is screened, people will always find that in the media, there will be an evaluation and analysis of his film, which is far more than ordinary films.

The reason for this is nothing more than two points. First, Levy's films are really good and often good in the eyes of the media, and secondly, because Levy's films are always able to shoot something fresh and make the media feel refreshed.

And this time, it's the same. Immediately after the release of Levy's film, there was a lot of criticism of his film in the media.

"A very heartwarming film."

"Sincerity is expressed in the plain, and emotions are cathartic, which is worth savoring."

"A good story with light and witty, an excellent description of friendship."

In the media, Levy's new film was immediately evaluated. The movie itself is not a particularly shocking movie, so no media has a particularly high evaluation of it, but the media still highly appreciates the plain and real friendship between the two people depicted in the movie.

And the biggest reason why they give high praise is because Levy's films give them a new way to think about filmmaking.

In recent years, there have been many films about racial discrimination and people with disabilities, but there are not many that write about ethnic integration like this subtly and warmly. The two people in the movie did not discriminate against each other from beginning to end. Rich people don't care that the caregivers are black, and caregivers don't care that the rich people are disabled, they joke. They frolick, they mock each other meanly, but never touch each other's weakest places, such exchanges and friendships, at first glance seem too bland, but when you taste them carefully, you can only feel endless.

People like to portray friendship with some thrilling, life-and-death things, because at such times, friendship can be better reflected. But. In daily life, after all, there are not too many opportunities for the edge of life and death, and all friendships are contained in the ordinary. Being able to find friendship out of the ordinary is truly remarkable.

This movie has this meaning to some extent, and the emotions contained in this bland narrative will be more moving when people look back on it than when they watch the movie.

And, the best thing about this movie is. It uses the theme of friendship to gently expose the problems of racial discrimination and people with disabilities. This kind of indifference in the movie is what makes people the happiest - to say the greatest non-discrimination. Don't you just don't care?

When some people make movies, they always like to focus on these things, as the most important things to highlight the following, as if they don't do it. It's not enough to get attention. However, Levy did not choose this way, when he was filming the movie. It's just aiming at those friendships, and it's a little deliberate to ignore the discriminatory part that these two people should have, but in doing so, it's a success.

Caregivers are ridiculed for their low education and lack of seriousness, but they are not ridiculed for their black culture and identity. The love of the disabled is too literary and artistic, and it is not good to discipline their children, these are complained about, but they are not deliberately taken care of the physical disability, these treatments do not seem strange at first glance, but the more you think about it, the more you will feel that their indifference is actually because they completely regard these as normal - this is the greatest non-discrimination.

This kind of thing is supposed to behave like this - a gay movie, made like a romance movie, a racist theme, made like a movie about friendship, this kind of completely discriminated against people is filmed as normal people, which is amazing.

After watching the movie, people will focus on the identities of two people, and they feel that this friendship between black and white people transcends race is normal, what could be more admirable than this?

Moreover, if ordinary movies are treated in this way, then even if friendship is reflected, it is difficult to reflect the problem of national differences and ethnic contradictions. But this movie solves this problem. And his entry point is the fusion of two cultures.

A culture is the most important thing of a nation, which can be said to be a spiritual symbol. And the integration of cultures, in a sense, is also the shadow of national integration. In the movie, the fusion of cultures is well reflected. Negroes can feel the beauty of classical music, they can put their passion into creating paintings, and they can dance to the music; Whites will also be satisfied with the way blacks deal with problems, like the black-style lifestyle, and approach women in a black-style way. These aspects are the mutual contact between the two civilizations and the mutual integration of the two civilizations.

These two people are the images of two characters and the symbols of two peoples. Their exchange is a sign of national integration.

Of course, another thing that the movie does well is that when portraying the racial attributes of the two people, they do not ignore what they have in common, which makes the movie unbelievable.

The film pays attention to a common feature of them - whether it is racial integration, rehabilitation of the disabled, the most important thing is to integrate into society, and the film also shows it very well. The black nurse was not accepted by anyone in the family at the beginning, he had just been imprisoned in society, and even his own mother blamed him, but when he left later, he gained the friendship of everyone and integrated well in society, which was his progress. And the rich man is full of suspicion and dissatisfaction with the affairs around him from the beginning, and in the end he can lie and deceive the police with the black man, and he is completely playful, and it can be said that he gradually gets his own fun. These two people found a point of overlap in this matter, which also made the film a success.

This success seems to some to be simply too simple: the story is a real thing, this is what people all know, and what is the great thing about filming a true story?

However, the more people who have come into contact with the industry, the more they know about the situation: although the story itself is suitable for a movie, it is not a very twisted and bizarre story. It was supposed to be a rather bland story, but after the adaptation, it was able to give the movie so much connotation, and under the external bland narrative, it contained content on all levels, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.

A director can shoot a bland story with layers and deep connotations, which is not something that anyone can do. Of course, some people may think that the director may not have thought of these things - but if the director does not devote himself to filming, how can he shoot all those things in his subconscious into the film?

Moreover, not to mention, this movie not only shows the layering and connotation, but in this December, it has not only immediately become a good film in the eyes of the media, but also immediately became the most popular film in the market.

At the beginning of its release, it immediately topped the weekend box office charts and became the most popular movie of the week.

"It's a great movie for the whole family."

"The movie is fun, funny, and heartwarming."

"I think the best thing is the music."

The audience interviewed also expressed their opinions. Unlike the media, which is deeply thinking about the connotation of the movie, the audience is paying more attention to the joy and warmth of the movie, the laughter and tears caused by the movie, and whether the picture and music of the movie are beautiful enough.

In this regard, Levy has also done its best. The decoration of the rich man's house, the various artistic roles, the use of various decorations, and the grasp and control of classical music and black music in this film can be said to have reached a very high height.

On the one hand, people will be amused by the strong contrast atmosphere created in the movie, on the other hand, people will also feel the charm of music and pictures, and the slightly over-the-top music will make the audience appreciate it without disgusting the protagonist who does not know about it.

This makes the media also feel emotional: Generally speaking, when shooting a movie that involves artistic themes, the resulting movie will inevitably be not appreciated by the public because the movie is a little too profound. Woody Allen is known as the only intellectual in Hollywood and is recognized as a great director, but there are no blockbusters in his life, and it is also quite helpless. However, Levy's films also involve art, but they can gain so many audiences, which makes people have to sigh.

Unlike Woody Allen's kind of art, even if Levy wants to express art, he will make the art in his films not detached from the public, and this treatment will better attract the audience.

Inner meaning, adaptation techniques, use of art and music...... In his new movie, Levy shows all these things.

"Levy has once again proved that his ability to make films has not diminished in the slightest."

In this regard, the media has all made similar comments. Previously, they were still skeptical that Levy's films were not as good as before, but in the context of this year's sluggish art films, looking at Levy's films, they can realize how rare Levy's films are.

The internal content contained in the movie, the filming techniques used, the narrative structure and method used, these things, in the eyes of ordinary movie fans, they will not pay attention to. For movie fans, the movie is a simple evaluation of good and bad, and there are no more words.

However, why is a movie good and why is a movie bad? There will always be people thinking about these things. And now, the media have to admit that no matter how you think about it, Levy's films are also quite perfect.

This level is the level of a master. (To be continued......)
