Chapter 1890: Chapter 1890

The "New York Times" gave it 100 points, and said in the comments, "Tempting. Human and beautiful, ironic and twisted, mixed plots and wonderful performances, dedicated to the best movie of the year, none of them. "

"Brilliant and fascinating!" This is the review of "The New Yorker", which is short and incisive, but these two simple words are not enough to express their approval of this movie, and the perfect score of 100 becomes the second argument.

The comments of the "San Francisco Chronicle" were beyond many people's expectations. Before the film was released, they were not optimistic about the box office prospects of the film, and they were even considered as a provocation to Hugo's current appeal. They've been a nuisance all this time, so everyone thought they were going to pick a punch at the movie. But in fact, the "San Francisco Chronicle" not only did not criticize, but instead gave a 100-point evaluation, which seems to confirm their objective and fair image of things and people.

"One of the most outstanding crime drama movies in the past ten years, and it is undoubtedly an absolute masterpiece!"

Although the evaluation is not long, it is still full of praise. At least for readers, the "San Francisco Chronicle" also voted for this movie.

The "Wall Street Journal" commented, "Since 'Chinatown (Chinatown)', the most exciting, meticulous, detailed, profound, and most delicious meal!" Oscar has won eleven nominations.

In addition, the "Wall Street Journal" also gave it a perfect score of 100. This is the sixth perfect score among the first batch of reviews of "LA Confidential".

The "Washington Post" increased the number of perfect scores to seven, and commented, "The viewing process of 'LA Confidential' tells everyone: a movie that everyone is very satisfied and full of praise. How should it be shot; and how wonderful and unforgettable the process of watching the movie is.”

The Chicago Tribune's review was the most hilarious exception among the first reviews, "This movie is like a good rib-eye: well-cooked, perfectly cooked, juicy, absolutely delicious. Taste enjoyment, more is too old, less is too fishy!"

Such a metaphor is really interesting, and after the review, they also added, "What the whole movie reveals is an attitude, from the director to the screenwriter to the actors, who are dedicated and dedicated; what the whole movie projects is an emotion. , including horrific combos, blow after blow, with no room to breathe and nothing to breathe. But the funniest thing about it is when it gives up that demonic secret with a big smile."

The "Chicago Tribune" continued their usual black humor style, and even joked, "Lancaster once again blew the horn to rule Hollywood: Oscar winner statuette, please pay attention, the robber Lancaster is coming." They also gave a perfect score of 100, paying high tribute to the film.

"U.S. Weekly" wrote a review saying, "Perfect plot setting, perfect rhythm control, perfect performance excavation, everything is so perfect. The perfect Kevin Spacey met the perfect Hugo Lancai A standing ovation, Steer, for the most distinguished respect."

Such praise, and the unbelievable score of 100 points, made the number of perfect marks among the first batch of film critics of "LA Confidential" reach an astonishing nine!

Among the thirty-three first batch of film reviews, the perfect score is almost one-third, which is too appalling. However, if there is praise, there will naturally be criticism. Although the "San Francisco Chronicle" unexpectedly gave a full score, the voice of opposition still exists.

The "New York Post" did not miss the opportunity and wrote a professional review at the first time, "A fascinating and excellent entertainment work, which digs deeply into the corrupt heart of Hollywood, and at the same time has extraordinary entertainment effects."'L.A. Confidential' pays tribute to the great noir films of the past, but it lacks a sigh of relief after all, the core excavation and character creation are short of breath, and the climactic confrontation did not meet expectations is the biggest regret."

As the staunchest opponent of Hugo for a long time in the past, the "New York Post" died down after the "Seven Deadly Sins" and completely learned after "Independence Day", not because of Hugo's current status. The challenge, on the contrary, is that with a spotlight like the Hugos, any tidbit of news can become a topic of hype—otherwise the "Batman and Robin" promotional period will not be so smooth, but Colin Meile knows I clearly realized that using Hugo is the right way, whether it is negative news or positive news, the benefits are eternal.

It's like the core of the story of "LA Confidential".

Therefore, although the "New York Post" still sang the opposite tune this time, giving the first batch of film reviews the lowest score of 75, but in fact the reviews still gave a lot of affirmation. In this way, although the "New York Post" cannot become the first bird, it can at least guarantee the bottom line of sales. Colin's transformation seems to be reflected in "LA Confidential". Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The "San Francisco Chronicle" gave it 100 points, while the "San Francisco Observer" gave it only 75 points. Such a sharp contrast is also quite interesting. The latter believes in the film review, "This is the echo of 'The. Big. Sleep' and 'The. Maltese. Falcon' - in a vast plain."

"A Long Nightmare" and "The Maltese Falcon" are both classic works of the 1940s, and can be regarded as the pinnacle of black detective films in film history. The "San Francisco Observer" compared "LA Confidential" with these two works, obviously I just think that there is still a huge gap in the middle, and that huge gap even makes Echo unable to bounce back quickly.

Such an ingenious metaphor also makes people laugh, but the evaluation of seventy-five points still shows their attitude.

In addition, the score of "USA Today" is only 75 points. "The story is so complicated that the movie cannot tell it clearly. The loss of details makes the process of watching the movie very mentally exhausting. But the movie is indeed full of inspiration. Deep human energy and great performances from Kevin Spacey, Hugo Lancaster on fire."

Three seventy-five points, the lowest score among the first batch of film reviews. It can be seen from this that although some people still criticize "LA Confidential", the score is still higher than 70%, which is very rare for a drama movie.

To make a horizontal comparison, the first batch of "Seven Deadly Sins" had 22 reviews, but the media's comprehensive review only scored 75 points. This movie has sparked countless discussions and controversies, especially for David Fincher's shooting techniques A lot of doubts were raised; however, relatively speaking, the narrative style of "L.A. Confidential" has been unanimously praised. It is not without reason that Nicholas compared this movie with "The Godfather"-of course, "The Godfather" got a perfect score of 100 points in the comprehensive evaluation of 14 media companies. This is a record that no one can surpass so far, and "LA Confidential" can't do it either.

However, compared to the "Seven Deadly Sins", the lowest score of "LA Confidential" is as high as 75 points - the same as the media comprehensive evaluation of "Seven Deadly Sins", and the media comprehensive evaluation after 33 comments is even higher. As high as 93 points, it can be seen that the overall quality of "LA Confidential" is better than "Seven Deadly Sins".

A joke in the "Chicago Tribune" caused a lot of snickers, "Fortunately, there is no Brad Pitt this time."

In addition, the media also praised the performances of the leading actors of "LA Confidential". The duel between Hugo and Kevin became the focus of everyone's attention. The actor has dedicated one of the greatest rivalry scenes so far, and the performance power between gestures and gestures is amazing", "The change in the aura between Lancaster and Spacey almost guides the trend of the entire movie, making the work full of With an exhilarating charm", "Hugo's understatement, Kevin's ease, turning performance into an art and watching movies into a kind of enjoyment", "There is no doubt that Hugo The scenes with Kevin became the biggest highlight of the whole film, which deeply touched the soul", "Hugo teamed up with Kevin to talk about a perfect and standardized acting teaching experiment: how to play in a limited space. After completing the character creation, how to spark sparks with the counterpart actors"...

The exclamation of "The New Yorker" is the most representative, "When Hugo met Kevin, every frame of the movie became art, which was intoxicating." In the comments, they believed that the acting control of these two actors exuded from the inside out was on the verge of perfection and was enough to enter the palace level.

In addition, Charlize's red from the green has also received much-anticipated treatment, "Delicate and sexy, Theron made the weapon of appearance to the extreme, vividly connecting the whole story", "Appearance The perfect combination with the inside, the broken soul behind the glamorous red lips, is so moving under Theron's interpretation", "The rivalry scene between Charlize and Hugo is undoubtedly the cherry on the black forest cake, applaud", "The Lynn played by Charlize is not only the most beautiful scenery in the whole story, but also the brightest hope in the whole dark society", "Complicated, profound, fragile, sensitive, beautiful... Lynn played by Charlize Possesses the ability to make everyone fascinated"...

It can be seen that the media is also full of praise for Charlize's performance, in fact, not only that, Russell Crowe, James Cromwell, David Strathairn, Danny DeVito They have all been praised, and what is even more incredible is that some media noticed Heath Ledger for the first time!

Even the "New York Post", "San Francisco Observer", and "USA Today", apart from criticizing, they can't deny that this is a very good work. The completion of the whole film is amazing. Actors, directors, photography and other links formed a perfect echo to create such an excellent work.

"Excellent actors are an important magic weapon for the success of the whole movie! Every actor!"
