In Roger Ebert’s film review, he uses freedom as the starting point to make an in-depth interpretation of "Trumen's World". In the second half of the review, Roger once again mentioned "Entertainment to death." "This view also runs through many of Hugo's works.

"In Hugo's works, we can always feel the kind of ridicule and teasing of entertainment to death. From the'Seven Deadly Sins' to the'L.A. Confidential' to the'Perfect Perfection', these works can be clearly seen. The movie's criticism of entertainment to death, and this time "Trumen's World" directly evolved this criticism into a comical show, staged with great momentum.

When the entertainment industry has developed to the extreme, even a lively vitality has become an entertainment medium carrier, and interest groups have begun to play the role of God, fiddling, manipulating, and driving a period of life, making this life full of countless lies a product of entertainment , Under the banner of "perfect life" to change a person's destiny, forcibly imposing this life on a person.

Not only cruel, not only cold-blooded, not only perverted, but also arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant.

In ‘Trumen’s World’, people’s entertainment is no longer an inanimate material carrier, but a living human being, playing with a human’s emotions, thoughts, and concepts in applause. This is not only shuddering, but also furious, because what does it mean? It means that the next person to become the object of entertainment...may be you, it may be me, it may be any ordinary person. As long as it is profitable, our daily lives may become objects of entertainment.

How terrible.

What’s more terrifying is that the movie gave a **** ending: Truman escaped from Paradise Island, and the show finally ended, but the audience didn’t feel anything—the objects that had been with them for thirty years left like this, and they The next step is'what else is there? ’This is the greatest tragedy, because we have become victims of entertainment to death, but we are not aware of this at all.

Because going out has never been an easy task, whether it is real or fictitious, when we gradually get used to everything around us, get used to our own life, and then let us accept new things, the process is bound to be extremely difficult of. Change is never a simple matter. It is like letting us jump out of our own security field and try a challenging thing. Everyone will feel uneasy and everyone will feel fear. Therefore, more people will choose to retreat, hold back, and honestly guard their comfortable life, unwilling to make changes.

What's more, Truman? It's not just change, that's his life, that's his world, that's his life, but he wants to leave this field, to an unknown, to a "Trumen-Burbank" does not have any meaning Blurry area. This courage is definitely more than just talking. One step difference is an earth-shaking life!

Look at those TV viewers who stick to their comfortable lives. Truman who left the Paradise Island has done what ordinary people can't. This yearning and pursuit of freedom has sublimated the whole movie.

In Hugo’s resume, “Glory to death” is a label that no one can ignore. Hugo, with a spirit of glory to death, reawakened the seeds of rock and roll faith and completely changed the course of the entire music history; and Today, the'Trumen's World' has brought the spirit of'freedom to death' again, and the idea of ​​desperate pursuit of freedom is like the vitality in the spring breeze, awakening a cold society in stagnant water.

This is not the first time Hugo has expressed such emotions, and I believe it will not be the last. In the coming wave of entertainment to death, Hugo screamed hoarsely: ‘Let’s not be free or give me death’!

Did you hear that? "

Roger’s film review is eloquent, vigorous, and mighty. It almost treats "Trumen's World" as a contemporary epic. In fact, it is not far away. Roger said in a short recommendation. "I really enjoy watching a comedy drama movie like'The World of Truman'. I like this movie like'Forrest Gump'-because Truman is a good man, honest and easy to touch. , But it's so beautiful."

Roger compares this work with "Forrest Gump", which obviously takes "Trumen's World" to a whole new level, which is comparable to the recommendation of 100 points and four stars. Everyone has more expectations for "Trumen's World".

From the "New York Times" to the "Chicago Sun", the excellent film critics have far exceeded expectations. As a comedy movie, it is even more incredible. Similarly, the “Los Angeles Times”, the representative media of the West Coast, under the guidance of Nicholas McLenna, also gave a perfect score of 100 points, which is the third consecutive time among the first reviews of “Trumen’s World”. Full marks!

Unlike the other two professional film critics, Nicholas's views are relatively less professional, but the perspective is more interesting.

"'Trumen's World' is a comedy, undoubtedly, but as a comedy, this work surpasses Charlie Chaplin's'modern age', not only reflects the characteristics of the entire era, but also explores more deeply Serious social problems. From entertainment to death fear, to fear of losing freedom, to the fear of blurring the boundary between reality and illusion, and finally to the fear of losing meaning to life, which is rooted in social indifference and the social darkness that comes from the supreme interests , Has been brought to the extreme in this story. Even an art-drama movie can hardly reach such a height, but'Trumen's World' has achieved it.

What's more interesting is that it is precisely because this is a comedy, an absurd comedy, that this deep wave of thought has been tapped to the extreme. The "Trumen World" is one step closer than the "Modern Times", digging into the root of social problems, telling a moving story from a delicate and true perspective, permeated with a humorous and relaxed atmosphere, but it triggered a storm of reflection.

The film process is always permeated with an almost absurd black humor, which makes people dumbfounded in many times. The absurdity brought by that fallacy is almost a model of black comedy, whether it is Meryl's falsehood and just like a mask. Ordinary smiles, from time to time to exaggerated advertising insertions, all carry a strong sarcasm, bringing the comedy style to the extreme.

As a comedy, this is undoubtedly amazing! At the same time, the contrast of this black humor has been used to bring a frenzy of reflection, and the strong contrast has created a depth far beyond that of a fictional movie. This reminds us of a classic masterpiece: ‘Forrest Gump’s True Story’.

The same comedy, the same plot, the same social epic, the two works are also absolute masterpieces! But the "Trumen's World" goes a step further than the "Forrest Gump", further excavating and exploring the core on the basis of comedy, making the movie truly an unparalleled classic. On this level, the "Trumen World" is even better.

In this movie, Hugo, who appeared in a comedy for the first time, once again surprised everyone, and he performed the role of Truman almost flawlessly! Hugo incorporated some exaggerated and deliberate actions in the performance, which echoed the Barbie doll-like mask of Nicole Kidman. At the same time, Hugo also incorporated some innocent and romantic childish temperaments, which made the characters change. It's very natural and convincing.

Throughout the growth of the character, Hugo showed Truman’s psychological transformation to the fullest. The selection of several important scenes seemed to be a little bit out of control and desperate, bringing out the effect of the absurd black comedy. At the same time, this terrifying story was perfectly interpreted, and the audience was brought into the world of Truman bit by bit.

Different from the delicate and rich performances in works such as "Death Row" and "L.A. Confidential", Hugo in this performance is more relaxed and exaggerated with a funny clown style, while maintaining Hugo The unique level of performance makes Truman Burbank become every real existence in our lives, and become ourselves.

Not only Hugo, but under the drive of Hugo, Nicole Kidman and Alexander Lorraine have all contributed the most exciting performances of their careers, whether it is the image of Nicole’s exquisite wife like a porcelain doll, Perfectly brought the black irony to the extreme; it was the image of Alexander's friend who was touched by sincere friendship but fell into torment~www.wuxiaspot.com~, which brought the audience into the movie and made the plot of the movie complete. Even Christopher's actor Ed Harris, also dedicated a performance beyond ‘Apollo 13’!

Even though we have imagined that the "Trumen's World" will be a masterpiece, even if we have imagined that Hugo will once again give a wonderful performance, when we sit in the cinema and watch this movie, we can't help but sigh: He did it again, and once again with an absolutely wonderful performance, we couldn't help but stand up and applaud, expressing our deepest respect.

This is Hugo, the Hugo who will never let us down, the Hugo who can always bring surprises, and the Hugo who can always make art show its value. This is Truman's world, and this is our world. Truman has gone out, but what about us? "

This film review by Nicholas analyzed "Trumen's World" from the perspective of comedy and actors, and praised it in all aspects. It can be said that all aspects have been affirmed, and the full score is even more praise. The word was pushed to the pinnacle.

From New York to Chicago to Los Angeles, the three major media outlets across North America’s eastern, central, and west coasts all gave unanimous praise for "Trumen's World." The International Children’s Day on June 1st became very lively and vigorously unveiled the real* of the 1998 summer archives!
