As one of the most watched films in this year's summer season, "Truman's World" has attracted far more media attention than expected, which can be glimpsed from the grand occasion of the premiere, and when the premiere is over, the first batch of film reviews is extremely lively.

Thirty media outlets released their first film reviews to express their views on "Truman's World."

As we all know, among many film genres, comedy and horror works are the most difficult to please the audience and film critics, because these two types of movies need to work humor and thriller, which often makes the whole story ridiculous and fragmented, all of which serve their respective themes, and the story is limited to a small pattern, and it is difficult to create the appeal of commercial blockbusters like disaster genre and action genre. Therefore, it is often difficult for these two types of works to get ahead, and even if they are box office successes, it is difficult for film critics to have a good face.

Especially the comedy genre. "Dumb and Ah Gua" media comprehensive evaluation 41 points, "Fat Professor" media comprehensive evaluation 62 points, "My Fair Daddy" media comprehensive evaluation 53 points, "Disguised Strange Jie" media comprehensive evaluation 56 points...... From this series of scores, you can see the dilemma of comedy movies, in recent years, the comedy movie with the highest media comprehensive evaluation is the "King of Big Talk" released in March last year, and the media comprehensive evaluation of 68 has made Jim Carrey regain his eyebrows.

"Truman's World" as a comedy drama film, is under great pressure, how to balance the relationship between humor and theme, will become the focus of everyone's attention, but unexpectedly, the "New York Times", "Los Angeles Times", "Chicago Sun" three authoritative media actually unanimously gave the film a full score, which is also the first time in the long history of film, shocking the entire North American market.

In fact, even after seeing the ratings of these three major media outlets, people still find it hard to believe that this is true - how can comedy movies get such high ratings? A perfect score for flawlessness? This...... It's incredible! However, people's doubts were quickly answered, and the praise of the first batch of film critics almost pushed "Truman's world" to the best height in film history!

The lowest score in the first batch of film reviews came from the San Francisco Chronicle's 75, which commented, "It's an attractive piece — an offbeat and interesting option for audiences who are tired of monsters demolishing buildings and superheroes saving the world." ”

The San Francisco Chronicle's reviews were very ingenious, they didn't give the film high praise, but it was clear that 75 points were well above the average for a comedy film, and they used words like "attractive" - even with disparagement and ridicule, it was still difficult to hide their support for the film.

From this review, it can be seen that the "San Francisco Chronicle" wants to criticize the film, but in fact it is not so easy, so they angrily use cynicism to divert attention, but they still have no way to give up their objective and authoritative image, and the taste of hateful sour grapes is revealed between the lines, which makes people laugh, but it affirms the excellence of "Truman's world".

In fact, not only the "San Francisco Chronicle", "New York Post", "USA Today", "Daily News", "Houston Chronicle" and other media cannot deny the excellence of "Truman's World", these media have a bad relationship with Hugo before, they are always more demanding of Hugo's works, and they examine them with the mentality of picking bones in eggs. But this time, they didn't have a way to find a flaw.

The New York Post gave 80 points, and reluctantly said, "This is also the most daring and outrageous attempt on the big screen." ”

USA Today gave it a score of 85 and put it succinctly, "very interesting...... This will be the most positive and exciting feedback from Hollywood in a long time. ”

The "Daily News" commented relatively completely, "In order to please the audience, the spirit of entertainment to death has evolved into terrorist totalitarianism, stripped of love and freedom, faith has become a tool of deception, and life has been completely reduced to a toy...... The movie gives a real and cruel proposition that is thought-provoking. Similarly, the rating of 88 is the highest among these "anti-Hugo" media.

The Houston Chronicle commented with just one sentence, "This is a work that will not be forgotten in the nineties." With an 80-point evaluation, it seems a bit nondescript, but it can still be seen that they recognize the movie.

In the first batch of reviews, these are "criticisms" of the film, with 75 points for the "San Francisco Chronicle" and 80 points for the "New York Post" and "Houston Chronicle" being the lowest scores in the first round of film reviews, which is not only shocking, but also unimaginable. Even in fantasy, no one could have imagined that a comedy movie would make the discerning critics bow their heads, but now, "Truman's World" has done it!

The lowest score bears witness to the average word-of-mouth of "Truman's World", while the highest score witnesses the miracle of "Truman's World" becoming a classic in film history.

The Chicago Tribune, which has always been astonishing, is no exception this time, with "subtle subversion, mocking ridicule, fear backlash, banality and faint sadness...... Hugo Lancaster performed this adult fairy tale in a bloody and brisk way, worthy of the killer nature. A 100-out rating adds to this review.

The New Yorker also voted for a perfect 100 vote, commenting that "Peter Weir and Hugo Lancaster collide again, and the film contains surprising mockery and irony, as well as ridicule and bashing of today's entertainment trends." The reflection behind the humor makes this comedy stand out! ”

The Washington Post's review was simple and straightforward, "a sunny work about dark paranoia." The contradictions and reflections in the words make people can't help but be curious about the movie, and the perfect score of 100 shows their admiration for this work.

"U.S. Weekly" said, "A beautiful conspiracy, a daydream throughout the entertainment era, a black comedy that goes deep into the soul." "They also gave away 100 points without exception!

The Wall Street Journal, again a hundred points, "adventurous, provocative, even daring!" ”

The "Hollywood Reporter" was no exception, giving 100 points, and they emphasized Hugo's performance, "It's hard to imagine that Hugo sent the character of Truman Burbank to us, with funny expressions, exaggerated stiff movements, bright and sad eyes...... Truman is like himself in this black fairy tale, living positively and optimistically in this society full of hypocrisy, deception, and betrayal. All of this is not only true and credible, but also deep into the soul, and those delicate and delicate eyes create the entire world of Truman, so that each of us is lost in this black forest. Once again, Hugo once again shocked every audience with an absolutely wonderful performance! ”

Empire magazine expressed a similar sentiment, "He brought the 'Seven Deadly Sins' when we thought Hugo would be difficult to beat 'Schindler's List,' and he starred in 'Truman's World' when we thought Hugo would have a hard time beating 'Death Row Walk.'" Strictly speaking, I like this Truman Burbank even more, not because of his inner complexity, not because of his difficult transformation, not because of his difficult choices - of course, these parts of Hugo's performance are perfect - but because of his sunshine and humor that will never be lost.

I will never forget that Truman sat on the bow of the sailboat, tilted his head slightly, basking in the sun, and the golden lines made him look so happy, so simple, so wonderful. Hugo not only injected the soul of Truman with his excellent acting skills, but also used indescribable humor and exaggeration to make the whole movie a real realistic fairy tale! ”

Similarly, "Empire" also gave a full score of 100 points, and what is even more incredible is that "Variety" magazine also gave a full score of 100 points rarely!

"Humorous and funny, sweet and sad, real and cruel...... 'Truman's World' ticks all the boxes of a classic comedy film, and goes one step further, sounding the alarm for the entire Hollywood entertainment industry by perfectly combining the themes of entertainment to death and embracing freedom.

Hugo Lancaster once again gave the best performance of his career, and the moment Truman Burbank took a step away from Paradise Island, Hugo's performance was perfect! ”

It's unimaginable! This is something that no one can imagine! The first batch of 30 media reviews, fully 15 of them gave full marks, coupled with the lowest 75 points of affirmation, it can be said that "Truman's World" has caused almost all the media to praise frenzy, and even those media who have repeatedly opposed Hugo have been aggrieved to offer praise, which has made the "Truman's World" reviews reach an unprecedented height.

In the end, the "Truman's World" media comprehensive evaluation reached an incredible 96 points! This is not only the highest score for a comedy film in film history, but also the highest score in Hugo's career as an actor, and it can almost be said that it has created an irreproducible film criticism boom, pushing this work to the best position in film history in one fell swoop.

What's more, the timing of the appearance of "Truman's World" is very clever - although people know that the film was shot before the release of "Titanic", everyone can't help but think of the recent change of dynasty at the Oscars, this movie seems to be mocking the terrible situation of entertainment and entertainment to death after the arrival of the blockbuster era.

"Truman's World" alludes to the film industry's once again going to the extreme of commercialization with a cruel and realistic fairy tale, as if to suggest that the decline of the film industry is already showing signs.
