It’s hard to tune in. Any film is always hard to tune in. Art films dig into the depth of thought and will inevitably lose commercial attributes; commercial films speed up the rhythm and increase the explosion points, which will inevitably be lacking in connotation. This is why it is so difficult to find a balance between art and commerce.

It is never easy for a commercial film to please discerning professional film critics. "Terminator 2" media reviews 68 points, "True Lies" media reviews 63, "Jurassic Park" media reviews 68 points, "Future Water World" media reviews 46 Points...At the beginning, "Life and Death Speed" received an 81-point media review score, and it has been a typical case of commercial films that have been professionally recognized.

How difficult it is for "Independence Day" to reach the height of "speed of life and death", it is almost difficult to reach the sky.

However, after the premiere ceremony, the first batch of comments on "Independence Day" ushered in a blowout of praise, which shocked countless people. The Chicago Sun, represented by Roger Ebert, did not hesitate to give it to Out of eighty points, and given a four-star recommendation score.

Roger wrote in his comments, “As an art film, this is a very bad or even failed work; but as a commercial film, this is an amazing series of works.

The film tells the whole story in an orderly manner within the limited time and space. The clear main line and the delicate branch line complement each other, and the rhythm control tends to be perfect. At the end of the film, a wonderful * special effects scene is dedicated to let the whole view. The filming process is extremely exciting and enjoyable, and it is definitely an unforgettable movie-watching experience. This is why I gave a four-star recommendation.

However, the shortcomings of the film are also very obvious. Hugo, an extremely outstanding actor, has hardly got any space in the film. What is worthy of recognition is that in the limited space of the movie, the characters are outlined in depth with some simple but effective details, so that the main characters' images become three-dimensional-although not full enough, at least the side that is presented is Persuasive, and even more rare, the two lines of family and love that run through the film will not appear empty, and you can feel the emotional drive. But even so, Hugo still failed to further develop his ability and charm, which can be called the biggest regret of the script.

But the most successful part of this movie is to use the powerful charm of Hugo, perfectly combined with the historical visual effects, and dedicate a clichéd but wonderful, simple and straightforward but exciting story. "Independence Day" filled the film industry with countless wonders, and it also awakened the reason why I liked this kind of art in the first place. "

It can be seen that Roger has a very clear view on "Independence Day", and his rating is obviously not as good as "Life and Death", but he strongly recommends this movie. The full star recommendation means he thinks this. This movie is definitely worth watching in the cinema. This view coincides with the interview of "Good Day Live".

Of course, an 80-point evaluation is still a rare high score for a commercial film.

However, Roger also mentioned in the comments, "Another regret of the film is that the image of aliens did not meet expectations. Not only was it not innovative, but it was also slightly monotonous. Of course, Roland, the director, was very clever to avoid At this point, there are not too many shots for the aliens. A wise choice."

This rare ridicule makes people laugh, but the image of aliens is obviously a topic of benevolent people. The New York Times, as the representative of the East Coast media, expressed disagreement, "This movie reminds us of' "Space Odyssey 2001", "Star Wars" and "Jurassic Park", not because the connotation of the movie has reached such a high level, but because the movie is wonderful, the image of aliens in the story and people's minds when they think of aliens The image that emerges in it overlaps perfectly."

In addition to expressing opinions on aliens, the "New York Times" will naturally not be absent from this national media event. The newspaper immediately commented on the film itself, "The film attracted all the audience from the beginning. Attention, and the implementation of this highly concentrated spirit, makes a 150-minute movie a kind of enjoyment, but the simple plot creates an ups and downs of the movie watching process, and the thrilling storyline makes every A turning point is full of suspense and anticipation. It affects the hearts of the audience. With advanced visual effects that transcend the times, it creates a viewing experience that is difficult to replicate. As a commercial film, we cannot ask for more."

"The New York Times" can be said to be full of praise for "Independence Day", and unlike Roger, they also affirmed Hugo's performance, "Maybe this is Hugo's greatest charm, he can always Attracting people's attention in a limited time and a limited space, even if it is just an appearance, his smile, his eyes, and his expression make it impossible to remove his eyes.

Even the simplest character, Hugo gives it alive and vitality. Under Hugo’s interpretation, Steve’s character is bold, determined, brave, and wise, but at the same time he does not lack gentleness, humor, thoughtfulness and kindness. His interaction with every character in the story has become unforgettable. The details, thanks to the existence of Hugo, the details of the movie have been perfected, and finally presented this complete and wonderful story. "

Their attitude can be seen from the comments of the "New York Times", so it is not surprising to see that they give a perfect score of 100 points. As a commercial film, "Independence Day" actually got full marks, which is enough to make people excited. What's more, it comes from the most influential "New York Times" in the United States. This is indeed an exciting news. .

On the other hand, the "Los Angeles Times", which sits at home, was not far behind. Their comments spread throughout the West Coast as soon as possible. This time the film review was not written by Nicholas McLenna, but it was still "Independence Day." "Sent a wonderful evaluation.

"This may not be the most invested work in history, but it is definitely the most shocking work so far. The powerful visual effects make every scene look extremely real. Sitting in the cinema, you can feel the reality that comes from all directions. Sense, let the audience become a member of the movie and experience this apocalyptic catastrophe. Industrial Light and Magic is undoubtedly the biggest behind-the-scenes hero. They worked with Emmerich to build incredible pictures with computer visual effects. , Created this incredible movie.

However, if only this is the case, then ‘Independence Day’ can only be regarded as a good commercial movie, perhaps better than ‘Future Water World’, but at most it is on the same level as ‘Jurassic Park’. But the most exciting thing about this movie is that Lancaster has injected a magical power into the movie.

Lancaster didn't get too many opportunities to show his personal charm, unlike the ‘speed of life’. But Lancaster used his personal understanding of the script and understanding of the characters to connect the whole story with his performance. His interaction with his girlfriend, the relationship with his son, and the tacit understanding with the president, these small links not only enrich the emotion of the story, but also gradually outline the character and image of the character. This skill is precisely Lancaster's greatest magic power.

This also makes'Independence Day' not only deviated from the class of'Future Water World', but also distinguished from'Jurassic Park'. Even if there is no time to show the charm of a personal hero, Lancaster still injects a touch of warmth and humanity into the doomsday, making the whole story gentle. "

The final score of the Los Angeles Times was as high as ninety points. Although it is not as crazy as the New York Times, it is still an incredible score for commercial films. You can clearly see their attitude towards this film.

On the other hand, the "Hollywood Reporter" explained his point of view from another perspective, "No matter from which point of view,'Independence Day' and'Future Water World' should be the same type of work: a magnificent worldview, Spectacular movie screens, wonderful visual effects, simple story structure, the hero who turned the tide...

However, "Future Water World" ended in a disastrous defeat, while "Independence Day" took a completely different look. why?

The reason is not difficult to understand. Although Roland Emmerich is not a well-known director, he is very sophisticated in the layout of the big scene and the control of the narrative rhythm, and he accurately maximizes the charm of visual effects. Every audience enjoys the dual shock of sight and hearing.

More importantly, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the great success in film casting, the second collaboration between Hugo Lancaster and Sandra Bullock, although not many scenes, but the sparks are still charming; Alexander -Lorraine and Jennifer Aniston’s partner is refreshing and very pleasing; plus Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron, Cameron Di With the addition of actors such as Yatz and Al Pacino, Emmerich incorporated the characters into the story just right, making the whole viewing process very comfortable and smooth. This is undoubtedly a rare victory.

Different from the ‘Future Water World’, ‘Independence Day’ tells a simple but detailed story under a magnificent framework structure. This alone is already wonderful. "

Finally, the "Hollywood Reporter" also gave an 80-point evaluation, which is basically consistent with Roger's point of view.

This is almost an unimaginable situation before the release of "Independence Day". As a work with visual effects as a selling point, the weakness of the story will inevitably become a shortcoming, but now after the movie is released, it has ushered in a wave of crowd praise, the first batch The comments almost all praised the "Independence Day", and it was surprising that people were surprised.

Of course, this is obviously not all of the first comments, there will be different voices at any time, and this time is no exception.
