It's really interesting to watch the "Los Angeles Times" sing praises to "Scent of "Female". [Starter]

Since the Golden Raspberry Award, or more precisely, since the "Hudson Eagle" was released in May 199l, the media across the United States have criticized Hugo. They believe that Hugo has completely used his talents. It is ruined by the spirit of wine and poison. On the top of the product, the talented actor who had a glimpse of the "Death Poetry Society" has completely fallen. Hugo's sobbing cry at the Golden Raspberry Award Ceremony pushed this negative remark to the pinnacle.

Under such circumstances, people almost forget that Hugo not only owns a masterpiece of the "Death Poetry Society", but his previous works "Small Restaurant", "Sand Dune "Silver Color" Quick Hand", "Chocolate" "War" and so on, are all very powerful works-otherwise Hugo would not have loyal fans like Alex and Meredith. You know, Hugo did not rely on appearance before. The popular "Flower" bottle, he relied on his own hard power to break through the sky.

But in the bad reviews such as'tide', naturally no one will care about this. This has also affected the early propaganda of "smelling fragrance and knowing'women'", as can be seen from the media's downside-down singing voices.

Now that the movie was released, the media immediately changed their faces, because Hugo proved himself again with the most beautiful performance and awakened people’s memories of Hugo’s past. They couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, we all forgot about Hugo." It is a real actor who relies on his acting skills to enter the line of sight..." And the words of praise for the movie, for Al, and for Hugo are naturally like'tide'.

"Scenting the fragrance and knowing a'female' person" is like a huge slap. All the media who have slapped badly took the initiative to send their cheeks up, slapped willingly, and then sang praises for the movie contentedly.

The first batch of comments appeared after the premiere, while the second batch of comments waited until the film was officially opened.

"Scent of the "Female" People" chose October 16th, Friday, and officially screened in 20 theaters. From the 17th to the 19th, professional media commented one after another. It came out and commented on the movie, and this time it continued the situation after the premiere. "Scent of the "Female" People" ushered in good news one after another.

"Eai.weekly" film critic Irving Gilberman said, "At the end of the movie, the power of'scenting the fragrance and knowing the female' person is still slightly inferior to that of the'rain man.' It’s a pity to be able to awaken people’s reflection more profoundly. But Pacino’s mature performances that are rough and gentle, brutal and kind, can be called masterpieces. Hugo also dedicated a long-lost dazzling performance. Pacino supported the whole movie together!" In the end, Irving also gave a high score of eighty points.

There are also two professional magazines, "reel view (reel. views and "TV guide (tv. guide. The former commented that "if there is anything special about this movie" In the case of Slade, it is the true and credible image of Slade and the principle of Simon's transcendence and rooted in reality..."; the latter thinks "Thanks to Al Pacino for his "fine" in the annals of history. Color performance, "Scent of Fragrance" Female "People" has become a recommended movie. And the eye-catching performance of Hugo Lancaster made the movie's two and a half hours long also acceptable— —Of course, it would be even better if the movie were shortened to two hours and added a more powerful ending."

The professional media’s praises followed one after another. The two professional media most valued by the Hollywood industry, "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter" (the.h011ywood.reporter), did not miss this grand occasion. Hollywood has almost one copy, and its influence within the industry is second to none.

"Variety Show" gave a 75-point pertinent evaluation, "The whole film is actually a personal performance of Al Pacino. Although he plays a blind man, what we see in his eyes is better than There are far more people with normal eyesight. If you insist on adding a reason to watch this movie, maybe Hugo Lancaster can count as half."

The "Hollywood Report" evaluation is also very similar, "Martin Brest gave the movie a brand new connotation, but it is a pity that the lengthy and cumbersome length of the movie has reduced the film's charm by half. Fortunately, Al Pacino and Hugo A Lancaster teamed up to make up for this half, and Pacino contributed 70% of the power, which made this movie re-enter the list of'worth a watch' masterpieces." In terms of ratings, the same is true. Gives a good evaluation of seventy-five points.

In addition, the professional film magazine "Village. Voice", which has its base camp in New York, also expressed its views. "A brilliant and colorful tango is enough to make this movie a classic. If you want to add a few more reasons, a drag racing and a speech will be a good choice; of course there are Al Pacino and Hugo Lancaster. "The score of 80 points can be said to be very good.' Color' of.

It can be seen that the views of the entire industry are basically consistent. Al's brilliant, Hugo's recovery, and the length of the page are almost all these comments. However, in addition to praises, criticisms are not in the minority. In addition to "USA Today", there are several media outlets that are not optimistic about "scenting and knowing'women'."

"Austin. Ile" only gave a 50-point evaluation. They thought "It is undeniable that Pacino's performance is worth remembering, but other than that, the whole movie is just a bunch of boring shots. Grouped together meaninglessly."

And "Rolling Stone (r011ing.stone, who started with music and has grown into a comprehensive magazine, expressed his dislike of the film with a bad comment, "useless crock." The terrible score of 38 points is even more unacceptable. Item.

The newspaper "The Globe and Mail (the.globe.and.mail from Toronto (toronto), Canada, also showed a deficit of 38 cents. "In this movie, you can only see a symbolic'sex'. The research, one by one meaningless'precision' colorful performances and one after another beautiful scenes without reference, there is a narrative vacuum in the'sexual' energy and scenes, just like the empty'hollow' and intangible works shot in the Ice Age. "

Whether it’s praise or criticism, many media’s attention to “smelling fragrance and knowing women” is beyond expectations. I originally thought it would be an art film that no one cares about, but now it seems that everyone still looks at it. Throw'shoot' over.

In this era without the Internet, the comprehensive rating of the media has become the most direct criterion for judging the pros and cons of movies. In the end, "Scenting the Fragrance and Knowing the "Female" People" won 18 media ratings, and the comprehensive evaluation scored 72 points. Not too high, but it is already very good.

In addition, the corresponding to the media score is the audience score. The theater score (ema.), which was born in 1978, is the public score that distinguishes it from professional film critics. Generally speaking, professional film critics often dominate the public's views on movies, and the reviews of film critics often emphasize the meaning of the film, not the audience's feelings. Many popcorn "flower" movies are difficult for professional film critics. To please, but still attractive to the audience, film reviews only provide a single angle to look at the film, which is unreasonable. Therefore, the cinema score turned out to be a reality. This score is completely scored by the audience after they enter the cinema to watch the movie. It has nothing to do with professional film critics, but only represents the personal feelings of the audience.

Currently, theater scores are also the only audience word-of-mouth scores cited by professional magazines such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Variety Show, and The Hollywood Reporter. Cinema scores are not based on a percentile system, but like school transcripts. They start from a+ and go down. If it is lower than c, it can be considered a terrible work.

In the theater scores, "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the "Female" People" won a "b+". This result can be said to be a bit more "colorful" than the media's comprehensive evaluation. It can be seen that the audience still likes the movie more.

From the praise of the media to the support of the audience, "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the "Female" People" swept away the mourning attitude before the release, and won full recognition. However, the good news has not ended here. With the release of the film, it is inevitably still You must keep your eyes on the box office.

Although "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the'Female'" is only screened in 20 theaters, and it is also an art film that does not have much box office competitiveness, as long as the film is released, how can the cost be recovered and profitability can be achieved? The ultimate goal of every film company. Art films do not have a strong box office pulling power, but the single-library box office that produces ‘sex’ is still worthy of attention, not to mention the broad prospects for the video rental market after films have won the word of ‘sex’.

After the "Scent of the Scent of Women" was released on October 16th, Universal Pictures was overjoyed by the news of the continuous flow of 20 cinema informants. After the premiere weekend, it was as high as US$25,000. Mtlnovel’s single-library box office is really eye-catching—compared to the $8,000 single-library box office generally predicted by the media before the movie’s release ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a full three times, this data easily kills all Media! This also means that "Scent of the "Female" People" got a box office score of $500,000 on the weekend of the first week of the show.

Although the US$400,000 weekend box office is not enough to make "Scent of the "Female" People" rank among the top ten in the box office rankings of the third week of October, it ranks first among all movie studios this week. The results still ushered in a lot of praise from the media, and Universal Pictures is not stingy with its own joy. We must know that the final investment cost of this film is only 8 million U.S. dollars. It is indeed gratifying that we have achieved such an outstanding performance in the first week of screening.

Professional film critics, audiences, box office... After the release of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the "Female", there were frequent good news, and it appeared on the big stage of the autumn film market in 1992 with an exceptionally ‘sexual’ start. This is a situation that no one had anticipated before, and what’s more interesting is that the literary and artistic work "Dahe Love", which just became the focus of attention last week, immediately became the subject of comparison, and it is estimated that Brad The two young supporting actors have become the focus of the topic.
