- "Thanks to a believable adaptation, effective performances, and a wildly successful director, Soul Surfer is a engrossing, lived-in film that's more legitimate and sophisticated than the popular Hollywood sports movies we usually see. , touching." 3.5/4 points, Kenneth Turan, "Los Angeles Times"
When having breakfast on Friday morning, Lily read SS¡¯s positive reviews from the newspaper and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. The word gangbters made her laugh out loud.
Gangbters is a combination of gang (a group of criminals) and bters (destroyers, nemesis). The nemesis of bad people means those who are extremely successful, effective, resolute, and decisive. This not only praises the director's success, but also implies SS's righteousness, but! The director is a hooligan.
That little gangster succeeded again!
She sent him a text message to share the fun of this movie review, and she was very happy. This mood is not the mood when LMS was successful, but the mood when tet was successful. It is not the mood of "Tarzan" many years ago. It is not like the joy at the time of "Wedding Day is Coming", and the real feeling of "this is my business".
"Duwu, duwu p.s.: I'm in the car" He texted back.
You were arrested and put into a police car, right? How many times was it? Ha ha.
After the pleasant morning, Lily did not obsess over this matter and went to school with peace of mind. She actually wanted to give Duo Duo a birthday gift and what to dress up for Halloween. But it is expected that w¡¯sb will be finalized on the 30th. If he can come back on the 31st, this will be the first Halloween they spend together in love.
These days are coming in the blink of an eye, but she hasn¡¯t made a plan yet. She has to go shopping on the weekend to buy some new clothes to prepare for Duo Duo¡¯s birthday party.
At noon, I suddenly learned about SS¡¯s new situation in the school cafeteria. Of course, Viy's influence is still there in the school, and he has become a popular figure from time to time. He has many gang members. When she and a few friends were getting food, they heard another group talking angrily about SS's film critics. .
"How hard-hearted do you think you have to be to say, 'It's too sentimental'?"
¡°I think the funniest thing is that some people think viy¡¯s lines are too clever. Do they want to hear some nonsense in life?¡±
"I bet if Brother Wei writes it like that, that guy will think the lines are too clumsy."
"No matter what they say, it can't change the fact that it is a classic."
Lily looked at the group of boys who took the meal and walked away with some confusion, "them"? Why does it sound like a lot of film critics gave it negative reviews?
¡¡
"It's great to be relentless in the face of life's setbacks, but this movie tells the story a little bit in pieces." 2.5/4, Thelma Adams, "Us Weekly"
"Like an inspirational movie to make money, the real information is basically constructed, but it feels like one montage after another." 2/4, Matt Pace, redeye
"This movie should have a fighting heart, but it ends up relying on a piece of cheese." 2/4, Alessandra Cavallo, "Boston Phoenix"
cheese? What does it mean? Those sweet ones?
After lunch, while it was still time, Lily went to the library to check the movie reviews of ss online, and was suddenly confused. There was no doubt in her mind that ss was a good movie, but did it have any shortcomings for the critics? Not sure because Wei himself is also dissatisfied, is he dissatisfied with these?
But it feels like it doesn¡¯t make sense
""Soul Surfer" describes too little about that disaster and the Christian worldview. What is Ye Wei afraid of? He is too cowardly." 2/5, Mark Sauvero, "The Austin Chronicle"
"This movie has more religious sentiment than real emotion. Director Ye Wei is so busy setting up touching moments that he forgets to give the audience the original pain of the story." 2.5/4, Jason Heck, "Kansas City Star" ¡·
"A cliche popular sports movie, Ye Wei's connection between the sea and Bethany's relationship with religion is false." 1/4, Grant Heath Jr., "Slant Magazine"
¡¡
Ye Wei was busy on the set during the day. In order not to affect the filming status, he had already ordered that no one should tell him about SS's results in any way during working hours. Of course, the eldest lady is not everyone, but only one. She can say whatever she likes at any time. The good review in the Los Angeles Times this morning also made him happy. Gangbters is a good word.
He is really lucky. Although the crew has to start work tomorrow and Saturday, he still has to play the five dollar Friday game. The game host Gia drew his card from the money pile in the hat. Because his new movie was released today, he would not draw again or treat guests in order to preserve his luck.
Everyone knows the superstitious rules and has no complaints about them. In fact, he is not superstitious. Sports is also a place where all kinds of superstitious rituals breed. But he has never been so busy before a game. But there is a prize?Who doesn¡¯t want it? This is not counting SS's income, which can be used to buy Duoduo a birthday gift, which costs several hundred yuan.
Ye Wei took the crew car back to the hotel and talked a lot with the makeup team.
The scene where Rui is beaten will be filmed next week. This scene is a watershed in the shooting plan. The total area of ??the shooting location was not large, and the costumes and styles of the actors were very different, so even the scenes of the same scene were filmed separately before and after Rui was beaten.
But now there is a problem. The make-up team did not do a good job with Jennifer¡¯s bruised nose and face. He was dissatisfied before and has not solved it to this day. It is not natural enough.
He gave the death order and it must be done within this weekend, otherwise he might really come and beat Jennifer up with punches and kicks. It wouldn't be unbearable to do that, but she didn't know if she could continue filming. He should really be arrested and taken to the police station.
After returning to the hotel, Ye Wei asked Mike Cahill and Britt Marling, the assistant director couple, to go to the restaurant to have dinner together.
Things always happen so suddenly. Halfway through a good dinner, I saw Gia walking towards me in a hurry, looking around.
"You don't know yet?" she asked as she approached, terrifyingly serious.
"What?" Ye Wei was startled and instantly prayed, "Please don't let this be life-threatening news." Marling and Cahill are also doubtful.
"The film critics will scold you!"
Ye Wei was startled. He had imagined that the film critics would not like it, most likely due to emotional and religious reasons. "How bad is it?" He thought he could have a 70% freshness rating, but when he heard Gia say "35 %" was naturally amused and surprised. "Are you kidding me?"
There is also a love rating of 93%, and the midnight box office lost to "The Grudge 2" and ranked second This is not bad, this is really not bad. SS, which is mainly for family audiences, is not the best and hottest at midnight. The choice was different tonight, it was going to win.
But what happened to the movie reviews?
"They'd better convince me." Ye Wei said in a deep voice and continued to deal with the steak, "I've had enough of those clich¨¦s."
¡¡
¡°As inspirational as expected, my only question is, doesn¡¯t it get any better than a cliche?¡± 2/5, Gerry Drake,
¡°It would be a lie to say Soul Surfer wasn¡¯t a cliche sports movie.¡± 2.5/5, David White,
¡°A collection of exciting clich¨¦s.¡± 2/5, Trevor Johnston, time-out
¡¡
After dinner, Ye Wei returned to the suite. Because it was non-working hours, both mobile phones had some new messages. Several text messages from close friends comforted him in anger.
He took his laptop to his desk and sat down, turning on the Internet to figure out the situation first. There are no film reviews by Roger Ebert yet, but there are Kirk Hornikett, Christy Lemire, Claudia Pugh, Lou Rumnick, Moira Macdonald
After reading negative reviews one after another and clich¨¦s one after another, Ye Wei suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! They are really clich¨¦s, hahaha!"
Almost in an instant, he clarified a lot of things in his mind, like an enlightenment, and he figured it out:
"Soul Surfer" is a good movie, a good movie with the spirit of an independent movie!
These scoldings made him realize another reason for his dissatisfaction and uneasiness. It was not that he had not done well, but that he was afraid of the situation in front of him. SS did not meet the aesthetic standards of the film critics and lacked the protection of political correctness, which made him A large number of confused and mediocre film critics are so clueless.
It¡¯s not about making sure you¡¯re right, but making sure they¡¯re wrong.
Many of these are not movie reviews, they are just nagging caused by a mixture of pure personal emotions and external factors.
And these nagging have offended him again and again and destroyed the original glory.
"Hahaha." The laughter gradually stopped, and Ye Wei looked at the list of short film reviews. The undercurrent of anger finally surged up, and he couldn't just let it go.
He picked up his cell phone and called Lily. After getting through, he said: "Hey." Her response came from the cell phone: "Hey." He said very seriously: "Lily, we need to talk."
"What about the movie reviews?" she asked, obviously knowing.
"Yes, I'm watching it. I'm very dissatisfied. It's a bit too bullshit. Lily, because you don't like high-profile things, I have put up with some things recently. If not, I would defend "Carrie", but it is really messed up. Well, I didn't want the media to frame me and Nina, so I put up with it. But not this time, the gangbters were not screwed about it!Very good description. "
As soon as Ye Wei finished speaking, Lily on the other end said: "I know that in running a relationship, you have to accommodate each other, but, Wei, I don't want any of us to have to endure this feeling, I don't like it. Also, what I want is a low-key private life. On the other hand, if you feel wronged and don¡¯t say anything, just say what you want. I¡¯m also very dissatisfied!¡±
"Haha!" He couldn't help but laugh, and many thoughts came to his mind. In this case, let go.
She asked slightly annoyed: "What's so interesting?"
¡°There¡¯s nothing interesting now, there will be soon.¡±
"But before you respond, do you want to ask your publicist and film distributor? I'm afraid the media will say you are too angry to admit defeat."
"I will explain it well. No matter what, I want to give myself justice and give justice to the film critics. Don't worry, when have I ever lost in a war of words? The truth is still on my side."
Lily suddenly laughed: "That's right, it seems I'm just looking forward to it."
"There is still laughter." Ye Wei snorted a few times, "I thought of two jokes."
¡°What should I do if I¡¯m already laughing?¡±
"No, this is serious."
"Still laughingwellok, come on!"
¡ù¡ù
¡¾Two jokes:
One day once upon a time, Ye Wei's new movie was released. After watching it, a group of film critics commented on the movie and expressed their appreciation to each other. The second most popular one only had two words "oh, yeah", and the most popular one only had one word "what"
One day in the future, Ye Wei's children asked him: "Dad, what is a film critic?" He replied: "Child, film critics have been good and bad since they were born. People have always scolded you for being trash. Do you want to be a film critic?" Those who have been eliminated by the times and are about to die, but have lived well until now." The child listened and asked again: "Isn't that you, dad?" He replied: "It's different, there are still others among them. woman."
