Three Hundred and Fifty-Three Personal Orientation

"Doremus's shots always have a wandering sense of separation, as if a dream that flows all the time, stripping the happiness and beauty in the story from the reality, creating a split viewing illusion. , so that every audience can easily find their own familiar shadows in the movie. In a trance, they can see that it is not Jacob and Anna on the big screen, but themselves and their past memories.

Written by Drake Doremus and Ben York-Jones with a delicate and insightful script, what makes the film special is not a simple love story, but an exploration of what love is: there is no right or wrong, Everything is a matter of timing. Even two people who are deeply in love have missed each other by accident.

The same story, if placed in the context of World War II, or the age of racial/racial discrimination, may be endowed with a kind of historical heaviness and epic grandeur. -A gigantic book like The Curious Case of Button.

But the beauty of the movie is that it strips away all these additional factors, suppresses the grandeur of fate to the lowest level, returns the power of society to its essence, and then amplifies the emotion of 'love', sacrificing the pattern and frame of the movie, but Successfully get every audience into it. A story about love and only love told with one heart and soul.

Those who study screenwriting can study the details in the movie, Jacob's sketchbook, the chair Jacob gave to Anna, the whiskey that Anna likes, and Anna's diary. These details all show the sense of belonging. The sense of belonging that gradually narrows the distance, but gradually pushes the two people apart.

What is embarrassing is that Doremus seems a little impatient and immature in the handling of these details. At the end of the film, after Anna finishes drinking the whisky she once loved, she goes to the bathroom and vomits; and Jacob's sketch He also lost his former spirituality and began to become mediocre.

This makes the details of the function are deliberately highlighted, and the director's intentions are vividly displayed, but there is a lack of space for the audience to think. To a certain extent, the film gives the answer that belongs to the director himself.

But there is no doubt that this is still an excellent film, relying on a simple to pure love story, but interpreting a completely different style and depth. In this regard, 'Crazy in Love' is more profound than '500 Days of Summer', but slightly inferior to 'Blue Valentine'.

It is worth mentioning that Renly Hall, this film work is only his second big screen work, but his performance has become the most dazzling flash point of the whole film: delicate and profound, restrained And complex, as if nothing has been said, but as if everything has been said, the precipitation and change of time, the turbulence and entanglement of emotions, under his performance, become vivid and real.

Amazing, nothing but amazing. After 'Buried Alive', Hall once again gave a wonderful performance at the Oscar level! "

After writing the film review, Elizabeth went over it carefully and found that some sentences were not too smooth, and there were more or less traces of personal emotions.

There's a good chance the editor-in-chief of The New York Times will be picky, maybe even shot, but that's all she has in mind at this moment, and she loves the movie, so much, even more than "Blue Valentine."

Is this a perfect movie? No, from a technical point of view, it still has a lot of room for improvement, and the strength of the script is slightly inferior to "Brokeback Mountain". However, this does not affect her personal preferences in the slightest.

Suddenly, Elizabeth understood a little about Roger Ebert's grading system. Objective comments were one thing, and subjective judgments were another.

After thinking about it, Elizabeth finally gave a ninety percent evaluation, and then sent the manuscript out. Last year, she gave "Blue Valentine" an 88.

After confirming that the email has been sent,

Elizabeth let out a long breath and leaned back in her chair, her shoulders drooping heavily. Holding up the coffee cup, looking at the slowly falling snowflakes outside the window, the irritable mood finally calmed down. It was nice to meet the movie "Love Crazy" at the Sundance Film Festival.

Elizabeth wasn't the only film critic struggling with personal emotions on this sleepless night, as Variety's Stephen Holden found it difficult.

He has deleted, edited, and edited this "crazy in love" film review five times, but he still feels dissatisfied, but he wants to continue to revise, but he doesn't know where to start.

This movie is very special. It doesn't look like much, but after savouring it carefully, there are too many thought-provoking things. In fact, Stephen's first feeling after watching the movie was like "Blue Valentine", but not as good as "Blue Valentine". This is his conclusion.

Last year he gave "Blue Valentine" an eighty-five, so "Crazy Love" hovers between seventy-five and eighty.

But after sitting in front of the computer and writing a movie review, he found that the thoughts in his mind were always rolling and surging.

He is no longer a rookie. He has been writing film reviews for Variety magazine for four years, and his experience before that is even longer. To be recognized by the most authoritative and professional magazines in Hollywood is itself a recognition of Stephen's ability. But for the movie "Crazy Love", after he slowly reminisced, he always found more.

"When the ending song of the movie began to sound, the audience sat quietly in the chairs, savoring the ending of the movie carefully, with a hint of helplessness in the bitterness, trying to find an accurate word to describe their own Feeling, but failed after all, all emotions finally turned into a sigh.

This means that 'Love Crazy' was a success.

In 1989, 'When Harry Met Sally' was released. This delicate and real film shows the process of two strangers gradually becoming friends and finally lovers. The success of the details has created a wonderful film. An unrivaled love movie, and it has become a classic in the annals of history. 'Love Crazy' reminds me of this movie.

Unlike 'When Harry Met Sally', which clearly and explicitly presents fifteen years in the form of coordinates, the timeline of 'Crazy in Love' is so obscure that it is almost lost in the hazy mood of the movie. If you don't pay attention, you will miss the passage of time.

The screenwriter hides all the details in the dialogue, and then presents the powerful force of this time change through the transformation of the plot and the performance of the actors. The subtle emotional changes that seem rough but delicate are vividly displayed under the camera. , From meeting and falling in love, to parting, staying together, to exhaustion, and finally to despair. The process of love from budding to disappearing, true to cruel.

At the end of the movie, everything was so natural, and it was naturally connected from the fantasy to the reality. It left a puzzle, a problem, a myth, and it was handed over to every audience in reality to solve. There is no hope, no despair, and no answers. This is also where the movie is better than 'When Harry Met Sally', it's not a Hollywood romantic fairy tale, it's a part of life.

'Love Crazy' completed an almost impossible task, completely showing the process of love's rise and fall, but did not blame anyone for the fault, and presented the most primitive face of love. Maybe it's not as brutal and bloody as 'Blue Valentine', but it's fuller, more vivid, and, at the same time, more complete.

This is Drake Doremus' third feature film, and with full-color shots, real and interesting details, and just the right amount of control, it presents a very well-finished work that is eye-catching; but the film The real success was also in the casting, with Felicity Jones and Renly Hall putting on some of the best performances since the Sundance Film Festival opened to make the film.

Twenty-two years ago, the audience witnessed Harry and Sally's fifteen-year long-distance running, and the lovers finally got married; twenty-two years later, the audience witnessed the heartbreak romance of Jacob and Anna, but the reunion almost made People can't breathe. "

Stephen put out the cigarette butt in his hand and read his manuscript again.

At this moment, the image in his mind is not the brutal and suffocating second half of the film, but the scene when Jacob and Anna travel to Catalina Island. In order to amuse Anna, Jacob tried his best, and even danced awkwardly, which really made people laugh.

In the past, he also made every effort to win a smile from that girl; but now, they are implementing separation, waiting for the time limit to come, and then automatically divorce.

They have tried, worked hard, persevered, and fought hard, but they have finally come to this point. They still love each other deeply, trying to find a solution, and trying to find a way out. But now, he finally understood that he was not wrong, and she was not wrong, but they missed each other, that's all.

Just like Jacob and Anna.

After thinking about it, Stephen added another paragraph at the end.

"It's a movie about love, but it's also about reality. We look for the truth of reality in the film, and we look for the unreal of the film in the reality, and Derek Doremus has done an excellent job of this film. The movie. Beautiful and moving, real and deep, delicate and brutal, and definitely one of the best of 2011!”

Then, Stephen typed the score at the end and sent the email directly.

He stared at the email blankly, and then dialed the familiar number. He thought he had forgotten it, but his fingers could always press down the number effortlessly. It was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, and the phone rang for a while. , and then connected, she didn't speak, it was just silent, but he knew that she was on the other end.

After a short silence, he said, "Let's get a divorce."

After waiting for a while, her familiar voice came from the phone, "Okay."

Stephen's eyes fell on the computer screen
