"This movie is really good, I can't believe that anyone can shoot the scene of 1984 so well - have you read the 1984 novel? I bet the director must have had the idea of paying homage to that film when he made this film. ”

"It's amazing that a novice director can make such a good work. I was about to cry when I saw the letter from Whistler at the end, no wonder Kevin Spacey said that this movie was a better movie than Los Angeles Confidential, he acted so well, and the coldness and gentleness could be reflected at the same time. ”

Compared with popcorn movies, art films will give people more touch. Even though the movie has ended, people who walk out of the cinema are still talking about the details of the movie.

"If only the last two male protagonists met and talked, Dreman should thank Wiesler. The two of them haven't said a word in their lives......"

"Didn't Thomas Hardy say that 'the caller and the called are the hardest to hear each other', the two of them originally influenced each other and saved each other, one saved lives, the other saved souls, thank you, don't see each other, I prefer this ending."

"It's a good movie anyway - it's a rare good movie with such a slow pace, excellent lighting, and beautiful composition, and it's not easy to show all the solemnity that a political film should have."

The audience's discussion was all praise for this movie. And the audience's evaluation is like this, how can the media be another evaluation?

When the morning of December 6 came, people found that the entertainment pages of the major media occupied the most important position in the comments of the movie Eavesdropping Storm, and this situation continued for several days, and the media everywhere were all reporting all the news of the eavesdropping Storm.

"The best film of the year, with a clear structure, vivid characters, a classic not to be missed."

After the broadcast of the movie, comments from major media naturally appeared immediately. The Los Angeles Times had a very high review of the film, and they directly used the last film of the year to describe the film, and all kinds of praise was full of praise in between.

"Kevin Spacey is the second masterpiece after L.A. Confidential."

Some time ago, one of the others, Kevin Spacey, took on the play too often. Many people are even worried that Kevin Spacey's success in "L.A. Confidential" will be affected by his takeover of this movie. However, after the release of this movie, people no longer had a similar idea: the success that this film brought to Spacey was definitely no less than that of L.A. Secrets.

"Incomparably profound, warm in an oppressive atmosphere."

The New York Times pays more attention to political themes and obviously pays more attention to the background era. And they have to admit that this movie, both in terms of novelty and the thickness of the times, has done a very good job.

"Every actor in the movie is an excellent actor, and the quality of the actors is amazing."

The San Francisco Chronicle focuses on the actors' performances. Several of the actors in the film performed very well, Kevin Spacey was immediately brought up after the movie, as if someone was talking about whether he deserved the Oscar for Best Actor, and Hugh Jackman and Charlize Theron's excellent performances in the movie that were very suitable for their identity also made them famous overnight.

"The only fly in the ointment is that the film does not have a more in-depth discussion of the social system, but simply stays at the level of human good and evil. Although the film shines with the beauty of human nature, it ignores a deeper level of analysis. ”

Of course, not all media outlets are full of praise, and the Houston Post has a somewhat different opinion on Levy's film. They still look like the film is a little too shallow and not deep enough. It's just that with such words, Levy just smiled and passed.

Those who say this are proud now, but let's wait until later. Snowden must be laughing at such a thing now, right? If East Germany does not listen well, is it true that the US imperialism is the surveillance of democracy, which is extremely correct?

That's not what Levy was talking about, so why bother with such voices. The director's intentions have not been read thoroughly, and they have to put on their own set of views of right and wrong to comment, and these people have nothing to pay attention to.

Compared to those, some Levy-related comments are more noteworthy.

"The meticulous and steady film outlines the theme of solemn beauty, the lens language of the film can be used as a trial language teaching material, many places are rigorous and need to be carefully studied to taste the taste, the lighting, soundtrack, and composition are all first-class, and the director's ambition is not small."

The Chicago Sun, unlike other newspapers, focuses more on the director of the film. This movie is already destined to be a classic, and how can a director who has made such a classic be an idle person?

In order to prove the director's excellence, they used half a page to introduce the film, and at the same time, they also specially looked for the links between the movies before and after, foreshadowing and hints.

the typewriter of the opening credits, and the typewriter of Deleman; the color of the red typewriter, and the red fingerprints on the manuscript; the minister's groping pig hand at the banquet and Christina's outing in the back; Jasca's mentions, appearances, deaths, posthumous works; Newspapers, clothing, automobiles that reflect the context of the times; Deleman's lies and Wiesler's lies...... The front and back are everywhere.

In the era of 1984, the protagonists who had never met, from opening letters to delivering letters, it was a woman who died...... These places are metaphors one by one.

What a good movie needs is that the front and back structures are interlocking, and the clues can be buried deeply, but they can't be invisible. The suspense and conflict of the film are constantly changing, and many plots can be said to be unexpected, but no matter how unexpected, these plots have to be within a reasonable range - and the reasonable range is woven together by the small details buried in front of it.

Such a fine structure Levi did it. The rhythm responds to the theme, the story shapes the characters, and the structure is what makes the film. The ability to weave the rhythm of the film before and after is fine and rigorous, which also shows the director's intentions.

Talented and willing to work hard, such a director can naturally be said to be ambitious. Especially in the director's first work, there will definitely be a lot of immature ideas and techniques, but even so, the first work can have such a level, which will naturally make people full of expectations and want to know what kind of future his next film will have.

has his own thoughts, his own artistic ideas, and knows how to write a screenplay, and he is careful enough to make movies, what reason is there not to be expected of such a director?

"Alex, our film is a success, don't always keep a calm face, you should be happy now."

Inside the company, looking at the comments of these media outlets, Livier and Alexander said.

But Alexander just gave him a roll of the eye: the success of the film, he and Levy have different ways of defining it.

"The box office is really not very good."

Alexander is more concerned about the box office after the movie airs. 1572 screens were released at the same time, which is not a small number, and how much the box office can reach is something he cares about very much. He didn't have much to do with art, he just cared about money.

Since the movie was released on Friday, three days later, it will be the box office results of the first week. Three days is not a particularly long time, and after just three days, the premiere box office has already come to fruition.

"Three days, 12 million - our film reached 12 million at the box office in three days."

"If you can get a good review, you don't have to worry about the box office dropping after its release, the evaluation of our movie is very perfect, with such a good review, the box office of our movie may rise." Levy is already very satisfied with such results, the box office of 12 million in the first week is not very high, but in Levy's opinion, it is already good to have such a box office.

"It's still a little low." However, Alexander was still a little dissatisfied with this. The box office of the movie is still a little low, "What's the use of a movie just being well received?" We still need money. Movies that can't make money, even if they are highly evaluated, are meaningless. ”

Alexander didn't know what artistry was, and he didn't bother to bother with it. He knew that generally speaking, the box office of the movie will decline from the second week, and the box office in the first week is only 12 million, so doesn't that mean that the income of this movie is very poor, and maybe it will lose money?

What's the point of a movie that loses money, no matter how nice it sounds?

"Alex, don't you understand? Sometimes good reviews are money. Levy was still smiling at Alexander's concerns.

Levy's words Alexander didn't immediately understand, but after the box office statistics of the second week appeared, Alexander understood what Levy meant.

"38 million! Our two-week box office has reached 38 million! In other words, in the second week, our box office figure was 26 million! The box office has not fallen, and our box office has risen against the trend! ”

Faced with Alexander's look of disbelief, Levy was quite calm: What is the use of a movie with a good reputation? That's what it does!
