"It's not so much a magic movie as a science fiction movie, Christopher? Nolan wasn't the first director to try to bring together two different genres, Victorian and science fiction, but he was undoubtedly the most successful. It's a non-mainstream movie, but it's also a wonderful non-mainstream movie, Christopher keeps telling the audience that the answer is constantly overturned, full of hints, full of details, and finally people find that the real answer is already shown at the very beginning.

The movie tells the story of two magicians in the Victorian era who turned from friends to rivals, and used various means to overwhelm each other, they completely implemented the saying that there is no victory without sacrifice, and sacrificed not only their own lives in order to achieve their goals, but also sacrificed friends and family, and the most brutal ending is to show the obsession and dark side of human nature vividly at this moment.

As mentioned in a previous review, the director from the UK is a brilliant magician who performs a brilliant thought-provoking magic trick with his film that makes the audience dance to the baton. Coupled with the passionate interpretation of the two male leads, the whole movie not only brings the gorgeous eroticism of the Victorian era, but also fully shows the dark side of it, as a non-mainstream movie, "Deadly Magic" is completely worth watching. ”

"Can you see, Christopher? Nolan wanted to delve into human nature in the film, but it didn't work very well, and the audience's attention seemed to be on the duel between the two protagonists, and it has to be said that their performances were very commendable. But it's still an interesting film, and if you like the political and cultural atmosphere of the Victorian period, this is the perfect choice for you.

Although Nolan has only four works so far, including five, the complex but smooth narrative shows that he is already a mature filmmaker. Although "Deadly Magic" has a lot of details, in Nolan's skillful technique, it is still displayed in an orderly manner, so that the audience can't help but want to watch and confirm it over and over again, even if it is a pastime movie, it is enough to keep recalling. ”

Basically, most of the media gave it a good review, even if "Deadly Magic" wasn't that mainstream — as Sean said, the two didn't end up together, and the subject matter was too dark. Naturally, the box office is also quite good, with a box office of 16 million in three days over the weekend, and it has firmly taken the top spot in this off-season.

Even so, there are people who are unhappy with the situation.

"As much as it was fun to look at the comments, I couldn't help but want to complain about why they kept saying how well Christo was directing, but didn't mention much of my and Hugh's performances?" Sitting in a high-backed chair in the office, Sean, who was flipping through the newspaper, sighed loudly.

Well, that's a problem, and it's worth frustrating, and most critics, while saying that he and Jackman's performances are clear, are basically analyzing the plot and complimenting Christopher on doing a good job, as if Sean and Jackman just did what they were supposed to do. Even the tabloids that came out of nowhere to criticize him, when they talked about the director, thought that Christopher's directing level was still good, but that playboy ruined it all! Sean knows the truth, and there is no excuse for what it means to add to the sin.

But at this time, he is clearly not just whining when he says this kind of thing here.

How could they do that? Isn't the actor's performance part of the movie? And no performance can be perfect, they should point it out so I can improve. Sean continued, raising his voice.

It's a pity that the girl sitting in front of the coffee table and sorting things didn't mean to look up at all, and was still concentrating on sorting the things in her hand, as if Sean not far away didn't exist at all.

"What do you think, Emma?" Sean had to ask directly.

"Film critics have film critics' considerations." Emma replied, still not looking up.

"Oh hell, can't you just say something nice? Even if it's to comfort me," Sean said in an exaggerated tone, waving his arms in cooperation, "My heart is about to break." ”

"That's great," Emma raised an eyebrow, "and the news is sure to make a lot of women happy." ”

Sean rolled his eyes suddenly, and then showed a wry smile, until now he still couldn't figure out what to say "Don't you want to be an actor" in a situation where it was easy to ease up, which would make her angry again. What's even more incomprehensible is that the relationship has eased again with the passage of time, but after the premiere of "Deadly Magic", she has become cold again.

"Do you really think so, Emma?" Sean sighed.

"It doesn't matter what I think, it's the facts that matter." Emma said in an understated tone.

"What kind of fact is this?" Sean immediately called out, "Have I ever abandoned a lot of women?" ”

"I don't know anything about this, I don't know about you, do I?" Emma snapped the folder shut and finally looked up, "But after the premiere that day, you did and Scarlett?" Johnson, Jessica? Bell left together, didn't he? ”

Sean opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, and finally just coughed dryly twice and rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

Although Emma didn't explicitly say what he did, the meaning was clear, and more importantly, he did. That's right, on the night of the premiere of "Deadly Magic", he went back to Jessica's house with Scarlett and Jessica, and then ...... Double flying, just like last time. Do you remember, Scarlett accompanied Jessica to see it when "The Magician" was released, so when "Deadly Magic" was released, Jessica was replaced to accompany Scarlett.

But the difference is that there are no rules this time, and they go into battle together, making it their primary goal to take down Sean. This battle is heart-warming, especially when Scarlett and Jessica are under him together, and the two pairs of softness compete with each other, Sean is almost in the sky.

Although Jessica is not as material as Scarlett, she is the kind of plump woman who is full of flesh, so in terms of technique alone, she is not lost to Scarlett.

However, even though he was already careful when he left with them, he didn't expect to be seen by Emma, which was really ...... I don't know what to say.

"Yes, but ......," Sean scratched his head, "what are you paying attention to this?" Do you care about me? ”

"yes, I'm ......," Emma said at this point, suddenly stopped, and then looked at Sean in a daze.

"Why, are you really ......" Sean pointed at himself and then at her, making a look of surprise.

"I forgot about tomorrow's schedule in the conference room." Emma said this, then got up and walked outside, ignoring Sean's call.

"Really, can't you listen to me?" Sean grunted in annoyance, then sighed again.

It seems that the women who are close to him have some strange personalities or characteristics. Naomi is okay, although she began to do her own thing after giving birth, but she was also limited to the child; Katie's confusion is not to be overdue, even if there are occasional shrewdness moments; Jordana has been dating women everywhere she looks; Camilla and Haydn, as well as Zoe and Emily, not to mention.

As for the others, Jennifer who doesn't say "****", some masochistic Nicole, Charlize who prefers to make fun of him rather than go to bed, and even Scarlett are so individual.

The double flight that day was proposed by Scarlett, not the rules, and she also proposed it. Jessica didn't have this plan at first, but Scarlett made a statement, and Sean teased Scarlett a few words along with Scarlett's words, so there was the rest of the matter. As for what Scarlett was going to do, and the previous hints were also in preparation for this moment - this was Sean's guess, but when asked in vague words, she did not deny it.

"You know, I had a movie this year, Woody? Allen's films. Scarlett said the last, "I'd like to try anything I can — and of course, I'd love to try it with Jesse, you know, a lot of times we're in a competitive situation, and I think I can do better, and you're a good match." ”

Sean would love to cover his forehead, whether it's the former or the latter, needless to say, Woody? Alan is a regular visitor to the Oscars, although he himself basically doesn't go, and he is quite old and disrespectful, so Scarlett's meaning is obvious. No wonder Sean always felt like she wanted something from herself, but even Reese? Witherspoon also showed it after she succeeded, she was good, she didn't even come directly before the nomination, so what if she didn't get it at the beginning of next year?

On the contrary, the latter is more likely, and from the previous intersections, I know that she is very open to this, and her relationship with Jessica is also very delicate.

So Sean subconsciously asked, "Don't forget, there's Jesse." ”

"She doesn't have the same movie." Scarlett shrugged, "So you can take your luck instead." ”

Sean couldn't help but be speechless, and for a moment wanted to open her head to see what was inside.

Of course, this is impossible, so after a while, he laughed dryly: "You are so optimistic about that, you want to sew panties?" ”

"I want to give Woody? Alan sews panties right, but I'm lying next to you right now. Scarlett replied.

She was naked, lying on the bed with the quilt in her arms, the early morning sun spilled in from the outside, covering the room with a layer of gold, looking at his gray-green eyes slightly provocative and provocative, coupled with the half-concealed twin peaks and ****, as well as the lazy look, and the sound of Jessica rinsing in the bathroom, it was quite tempting.

Even Sean couldn't help but stir his throat: "Didn't you think you would fail?" ”

"If you fail, just try again, and if you fail as many times as you want," Scarlett raised an eyebrow, "That's a big bargain, Sean." ”

Saying that, she also deliberately changed her position, during which a little spring light was undoubtedly revealed, so she waited for Jessica to come out...... Another beautiful morning.
