Chapter 365 365

The acclaim from The Hollywood Reporter and The New York Times put "Sleepless in Seattle" in a good spot among its first wave of reviews.

People will not forget the harshness of the "New York Times" to Hugo Lancaster, East and West Coast movies, music and other aspects belong to two different cultural circles, which also makes the East Coast news media to the Los Angeles base camp. The film people in the film industry are always a little more strict. Similarly, the Oscars with Los Angeles blood in the blood are also less popular with film people from the East Coast. Martin Scorsese, Woody Ai It's going to be hard for top New York-born filmmakers to find a good spot at the Oscars.

Therefore, this time, the "New York Times" actually took a different look at "Sleepless in Seattle", which obviously made people two more interested in this movie. What kind of chick movie is it? It can be so highly praised by people in the industry.

Of the first eight film reviews that came out after the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle", seven were praised, and only one bad review, with the highest score coming from The New York Times' 95, the lowest being 95. Fifty points from USA Today.

It's "USA Today" again. At first, this magazine was dissatisfied with the two films "Scent of a Woman" and "The Hero of the Sea", and this time it said badly about "Sleepless in Seattle", "Typical. Ephron-style old-fashioned love stories, similar sparks make people boring", I just don't know if this magazine is professionally dealing with things and people, or maliciously targeting Hugo.

After the premiere, "Sleepless in Seattle" unexpectedly became the darling of the movie screen in the last week of June, which was a surprise situation that made Columbia Pictures all overjoyed, and at this time they began to doubt: the first week Is the scale of the show too small, but even if I regret it, it is too late to revise it.

On Friday, June 25th, the film officially opens in 1,600 theaters across the United States! A second wave of comments swept across the press on Saturday.

"Los Angeles Times" seems to have changed the wind after the Golden Globe Awards. Nicholas Maclen, a film professional journalist who has risen to fame in the past two years, has repeatedly praised Hugo, and this time, as "Sleepless in Seattle" before the release The only two media with a positive attitude made the Los Angeles Times proud immediately after the film was released.

"'Well...I'm going to get out of bed every morning and breathe all day, and after a while I...don't have to remind myself to get up and breathe. After a while, I...I'm not going to go again Memories of those sweetness.' This confession from Sam is so simple, so plain, without choking, without grief, just a piece of loneliness, but it easily outlines that deep feeling. The listeners could not help crying, Anne was like this, The same goes for audiences in movie theaters.

This is not a movie that relies on novel plots to win, but the delicacy of details is a level that many movies cannot achieve. Annie's favorite movie in the movie is 'Jin Yumeng'. She and her colleagues were sitting at home watching this movie and reciting classic lines, and couldn't help but burst into tears. In fact, this is what every person who is crazy about love does portraiture. Also, at the end of the story, the guard at the Empire State Building smiled and said, "That movie is my wife's favorite." This is the most beautiful, moving and warmest love story in the world.

And the depiction of the different psychology of men and women in the movie is even more impressive. When Sam and his friends were having a party at home, when Sam told a woman he didn't know about to meet him on the top floor of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day, Sam's woman The friend immediately thought of the 'Golden Jade Alliance', put down the knife and fork they were eating, and reminisced about the classic plot intoxicated; while Sam and his male friend were indifferent. But when the two big men talked about 'The. Dirty. Dozen', they danced with excitement like children, and the woman looked at them with a puzzled look and left in anger.

In fact, this is the difference between men and women, because they are inherently different creatures. Perhaps, when men and women saw the movie 'Sleepless in Seattle', they probably had the same reaction. Women were moved by the intoxicating telepathy in the movie, but men couldn't understand how such a movie could be called It is beautiful.

I'm a man, but I have to admit, this movie touched me. Not because of that romantic love, but because this movie made me want to believe that love still exists, even if it's not so romantically perfect in real life, but at least I want to believe it. Maybe I won't cry, but I will give this movie my applause.

People come and go in life, and people who we thought we would get along with for a long time suddenly left. There are too many unpredictable unknowns in life, which makes us have to stop our hasty steps and look at the present. , Only then did I realize that those who once cherished have long gone and disappeared on this life path that has no turning back. We can't change the past, but we can cherish the present and change the future, so don't forget to grab the hand of the person beside you at this moment and keep going.

The night I watched the movie, I didn't cry, I just stayed up all night. Thinking about Sam's answer to the radio when he asked, 'What the hell is your wife's charm?' he said, 'How long is your show? ’”

"How long is a movie, how short is a life." Nicholas made a footnote to his comment with such a title. If Nicholas himself was a little unsure before the movie was released, then after watching the movie, he would Really sure: Hugo is indeed an excellent actor, and he is walking side by side with him towards the future, who knows, maybe one day in the future, Nicholas will find out that among the many friends around him , and the place that belongs to Hugo.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times didn't miss out on the film's brilliance, and for the film itself, he said, "Ephron has injected a strong 1950s nostalgia into this romance film, which is hard to put down. "Seventy-five isn't a high score, but for a chick movie, it's pretty decent. You must know that it is difficult for classic movies of the same type to exceed the limit of the 60-point pass line.

Roger paid more attention to the performances of the two actors, "Lancaster's performance is extremely wonderful, he fully expresses the grief and loneliness after the loss of his wife, and the rough but sincere fatherly love for his son. Let people see his delicacy that is different from any previous movie; relatively speaking, Ryan's performance continues the previous routine, even a bit less crisp, she has the ability to show her inner heart many times. Delicate and intricate opportunities, but all are swallowed up by the still sweet smile on the corner of the mouth, which is regrettable. In contrast with Lancaster, Ryan is far behind, even if it is a love movie, Lancaster Caster continued to put on a fantastic performance and continued the strong recovery that had been in the past."

In this regard, Roger also believes that the spark between Hugo Lancaster and Meg Ryan is very convincing, and it has become another important reason for audiences to enter the cinema.

Three of the four major professional magazines in the film industry are full of praise for "Sleepless in Seattle", and the most serious "variety show" is no exception. However, compared to the other three, "Variety" has continued its usual rigorous style.

"For a movie, it's a shallow story, and the lack of connotation makes the overall quality of the movie drop a notch from 'When Harry Met Sally'; but for a love movie, it's a wonderful The story is enough to become a memorable masterpiece in film history.

Just like the men in the movie laugh at women and cry when they watch chick movies like "Jinyumeng", their own feelings about war movies also make women feel incredible. In fact, for many people, including me, I don’t understand why a woman would break down her tear ducts because of a late-night emotional radio program that seemed nonsense and unrealistic, and set off an irresistible magic switch in life. Despite the constant fate involved, 'Sleepless in Seattle' has given us an answer.

Because this is love. Sober people will laugh at such stupidity and stupidity, but true love is made up of countless coincidences, accidents, and inadvertentness. Just like our life, you never know if there will be a car accident at the next intersection. Likewise, you don't know if the person behind the coffee bar is your destined lover. Life and love are all made up of countless ifs, and are also full of misunderstandings, accidents, misses and so-called fates. Maybe it's hypocritical, but it's the truth.

When we watch this film, we are not so much looking at the story of the two protagonists as we are looking at our own past, present and future. We once believed in our intuition for a moment, but then real life reminded us that the burst of lightning and flint can illuminate a certain night, but not the future. Many times, intuition is just for the emptiness of our hearts. And in a hurry to find a sustenance, so we will laugh at those who give up bread for love, complacent that they have found their inner 'Walter', and laugh at Annie's foolish abandonment of 'Walter' to choose Sam.

But who knows, after giving up our dreams and our sustenance, we just live to live, love has turned into money, food and shelter, and the paleness of our spiritual life has turned us into walking dead, then, is everything still there? What is the meaning of existence?

'Sleepless in Seattle' is like a prank deconstruction, showing the most incredible things in the most delicate way in front of everyone, some people will laugh at it, some will despise it, some will disdain it, but again, Some people will praise it, some people will agree with it, some people will wake up because of it, it is not just the difference between men and women, it is the difference between people.

Love is magic. Do you believe? Or, do you want to believe it? "
