"Doremus' lens always has a wandering sense of peeling, as if a dream that is always flowing all the time, peeling the happiness and beauty in the story from the basis of reality, creating a fragmented viewing illusion. , So that every audience can easily find their deja vu in the movie. In a trance, they can see that it is not Jacob and Anna on the big screen, but the memories of themselves and the past.

The scripts written by Drake Doremus and Ben York-Jones are delicate and insightful. The special thing about the movie is not that it tells a pure love story, but that it explores the true face of love: there is no right or wrong. Everything is a matter of timing. Even two people who love each other deeply missed each other by mistake.

The same story, if placed in the context of World War II, or in the era of racial/ethnic discrimination, perhaps it will be given a historical heaviness and epic grandeur, and the interlacing of fate makes people embarrassed, and then achieves'Benjamin -"The Curious Case of Barton" is such a masterpiece.

But the beauty of the movie is that it strips off all these additional factors, suppresses the magnificence of fate to a minimum, returns the power of society to the essence, and then amplifies the emotion of'love', sacrificing the pattern and framework of the movie. Successfully let every audience participate in it. Wholeheartedly and attentively told a story about love and only about love.

Those who study screenwriting can study the details of the movie, Jacob’s sketchbook, the chair Jacob gave to Anna, Anna’s favorite whiskey, Anna’s diary, these details show just the sense of belonging, the two people The sense of belonging that gradually narrowed the distance, but gradually pushed the two people apart.

What is embarrassing is that Doremus is a bit impatient and naive in handling these details. At the end of the movie, after Anna drank the whiskey she once loved, she vomited in the bathroom; and Jacob's sketch I also lost my spirituality and began to become mediocre.

This makes the details of the function are deliberately highlighted, showing the director's intentions to the fullest, but it lacks some space for the audience to think. To a certain extent, the film gives the answer that belongs to the director himself.

But undoubtedly, this is still an excellent movie, relying on a simple to pure love story, but interpreting a completely different style and depth. At this point, "Love Is Crazy" is more profound than "500 Days with Summer", but slightly inferior to "Blue Valentine's Day".

It is worth mentioning that Lanly Hall, this movie is only his second big screen work, but his performance has become the most dazzling point of the whole movie: delicate and deep, restrained The complexity, as if nothing was said, but it seemed to have said everything. The precipitation and changes of time, the turbulence and entanglement of emotions, under his performance, became vivid and real.

Amazing, in addition to amazing or amazing. Following "Buried alive", Hall once again dedicated an Oscar-level performance! "

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

The editor-in-chief of the "New York Times" is likely to be picky and may even be shot, but that is all her thoughts at this moment. She likes this movie, very much, even more than "Blue Valentine's Day".

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 will not affect her personal preferences in the least.

Suddenly, Elizabeth somewhat understood Roger Ebert's scoring system. Objective comments are one thing, and subjective judgments are another.

After thinking about it, Elizabeth finally gave a ninety-point evaluation, and then sent the manuscript out. Last year, she gave "Blue Valentine's Day" a rating of 88 points.

After confirming that the mail had been sent, Elizabeth let out a long breath and leaned back in the chair, her shoulders drooping heavily. Picking up the coffee cup, looking at the slowly falling snow outside the window, the irritability finally calmed down. It was good to meet the movie "Love Is Crazy" at the Sundance Film Festival.

During this sleepless night, Elizabeth is not the only film critic who is trapped in personal emotions. Stephen Horden of Variety Magazine also finds it difficult.

He has deleted and revised this film review of "Crazy Love" five times, but still feels unsatisfied, but he wants to continue to revise it, but he does not know where to start.

This movie is very special, it doesn't seem to have much, but after savoring it, there are so many thought-provoking things. In fact, when Stephen's first feeling after watching the movie, it was like "Blue Valentine's Day", but not as good as "Blue Valentine's Day". This is his conclusion.

Last year he gave "Blue Valentine's Day" 85 points, so "Love is crazy" hovering between 75 and 80 points.

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

He is no longer a fledgling rookie. He has been writing film reviews for Variety Magazine for four years, and his previous experience has been even longer. Being able to be recognized by Hollywood's most authoritative and professional magazine is itself a recognition of Stephen's ability. But for the movie "Love Is Crazy", after he slowly recalled, he always had more discoveries.

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

This means that "Love Is Crazy" has succeeded.

In 1989,'When Harry Meets Sally' was released. This delicate and authentic film showed the process of two strangers gradually becoming friends and finally becoming lovers. The success of the details made a wonderful story. Unparalleled love movie, and has become a classic in the annals of history. "Love is crazy" reminds me of this movie.

Unlike "When Harry Meets Sally", which clearly presents fifteen years in the form of coordinates, the timeline of "Love Is Crazy" is very obscure, and it is almost lost in the hazy mood of the movie, a little bit. If you don't pay attention, you will miss the passage of time.

The screenwriter hides all the details in the dialogue, and then through the conversion of the plot and the performance of the actors to show the powerful power of this time change, the kind of seemingly rough but delicate emotional subtle changes are fully displayed under the camera. , From meeting and falling in love, to parting and staying together, to exhaustion, and finally to frustration. The process of love from budding to disappearing is true to cruel.

At the end of the film, everything is so natural, from the illusion to reality naturally, it leaves a puzzle, a problem, and a myth, which is left to every audience in reality to solve. There is no hope, no despair, and no answer. This is also a better place for movies than "When Harry Meets Sally". It is not a romantic fairy tale of Hollywood, it is a part of life.

"Love Is Crazy" has completed an almost impossible task, fully presenting the process of love's initiation, inheritance, and reunion, without blaming anyone for the fault, and presenting the most primitive aspect of love. Perhaps, it is not as cruel and **** as'Blue Valentine's Day', but it is fuller, more vivid, and at the same time more complete.

This is the third feature film of Drake Doremus, with full-color shots, real and interesting details, and just the right control, presenting a highly completed work that is eye-catching; but the film The real success lies in the casting. Felicity Jones and Lanly Hall contributed their most exciting performances since the opening of the Sundance Film Festival and made this movie.

Twenty-two years ago, the audience witnessed the fifteen-year long-distance race between Harry and Sally, and the lovers finally got married. Twenty-two years later, the audience witnessed the heartbroken romance of Jacob and Anna. People can't breathe. "

Stephen put out the cigarette **** in his hand and repeated his manuscript again.

At this moment, the picture that emerged in his mind was not the cruel to suffocating fragment in the second half of the movie, but the fragment when Jacob and Anna traveled to Catalina Island. In order to amuse Anna ~www.novelhall.com~, Jacob did all he could, even dancing awkwardly, which really made people laugh.

Once, he also tried his best to win a smile from that girl; but now, they are implementing separation, waiting for the time limit, and then automatically divorcing.

They have tried, worked hard, persisted, and struggled, but after all they have reached this point. They still love each other deeply, trying to find a solution, and also trying to find a way out. But now, he finally understood that he was not wrong, she was not wrong, but they missed each other, nothing more.

Just like Jacob and Anna.

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

"This is a movie about love, and it is also a movie about reality. We are looking for the truth of reality in the movie, and we are looking for the illusion of the movie in reality. Drake Doremus has completed this wonderfully. Movie. Beautiful and touching, real and profound, delicate and cruel, it is definitely one of the best works of 2011!"

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

He looked at the mail blankly, and then dialed the familiar number. He thought he had forgotten it, but he could always press the number effortlessly with his finger. It was a little past midnight, and the phone rang for a while. , It was just connected. She didn't speak, it was just silence, 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, she heard a familiar voice on the phone, "Okay."

Stephen's eyes fell on the computer screen

Ninety minutes. The end of the message is marked as such. (.)()
