The first film review of "The Lovely Bones" was published by Kirk Hornikett of "The Hollywood Reporter" in the early morning of November 4.
Honeycutt once rated ss with a score of 2/4 as "This is just an inspirational movie that Ye Wei easily disguised as a great movie with his talent and means." In that war of words, he was Ye Wei's film critic The third "most mediocre film critic" in the review report was ridiculed by Ye Wei for "having the ability to average out the ratings from the pile of bad movies."
This time, fans have seen another Hornikett. He was very excited and gave TLB a perfect score of four stars. His long review was full of praise. Rotten Tomatoes included his key review as: "This movie is of course great. ! Scene after scene, a montage that never leaves the screen, such a busy movie is so delicate, touching and convincing, Ye Wei has created a miracle. "
Honeycutt gave the greatest compliment, as if the SS war of words and the various doubts that Ye Wei had encountered before had not happened. His film review did not mention those things, and the writing style did not change. It was still the usual way of writing film reviews in the media. The decisive comment is indispensable, and in one of the passages evaluating the actors' performance, he writes:
¡°This is a great ensemble piece with thrilling, extravagant performances from each of the principal actors.¡±
He focused on praising Elizabeth Olsen: "This talented rising star actress has effectively led the cast and delivered such a stunning performance in her debut. 'Susie' will shine on the big screen for a long time. She There is no doubt a bright future.¡±
Unquestionable!
Impeccable, absolutely, of course Film reviews are full of these 100% clear words, as if to say, there is no controversy this time, there really is no controversy this time!
Not only Honeycutt, the film critics are very sure this time!
Let¡¯s see what the ¡°stupidest film critic¡± Irving Grabman said. This time he did not go out of his way and gave an A+ rating in Entertainment Weekly: ¡°Ye Wei captured all the essence of the original work. Sad But it gives people hope, is dramatic but real, is cruel but noble, and has the qualities of a fairy tale but is not made for teenagers. This is a movie that transcends age.¡±
Let¡¯s take a look at what ¡°the most mediocre film critic¡± Richard Corliss said. He gave it 3.5/4 points in his employer Time Magazine: ¡°When did a movie with obscene and cruel child murder content be so serious and serious? Profound and compassionate? This is the most outrageous and shameless film to date, and it¡¯s also the only one to do the latter.¡±
So what about the ¡°most picky film critic¡± Joe Morgenstern? Movie fans have seen that this grumpy old man also scored 3.5/4 in the Wall Street Journal: "Ye Wei's good adaptation avoids the daydream-like results of the original work that make people laugh or cry. The movie uses a concise story to show the complex story. emotion."
"The most neutral film critic" J.R. Jones also rated 3.5/4 points in "Chicago Reader": "It is not easy to watch "The Lovely Bones" adapted by Ye Wei from Alice Sebold's best-selling book of the same name. You¡¯ll feel the pain of heartbreak over and over again, but it¡¯s still an extremely captivating film that you must see this year.¡±
It is a tacit understanding or agreement among film critics not to mention the SS war of words. Even if it is mentioned, it is just like Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times who rated it 4.5/5: "In the midst of the controversy, After "Soul Surfer", Ye Wei has brought about one of the undisputed best movies of the year. There are many small parts and ghost-like narration, but the story is on the track at all times, and the touching "". "The Lovely Bones" deserves all the praise it deserves."
One-of-the-best-films-of-the-year!
Turan seems to have concerns about praising it like this. After all, it is so cruel and sad. Well, I don¡¯t know if it is too much to praise it, but I think it deserves it.
It¡¯s not just Turan¡¯s opinion. In two days, the Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating was 92%, the audience¡¯s love rating was 93%, and IMDB gave it a score of 8.6! It is not inferior to the opening momentum of last year's LMS.
In the eyes of global media and movie fans, what should the American film critics do when it comes to a clear award season key player who has always had a certain degree of professionalism and is not a sectarian? Los Angeles film critics, thumbs up; New York film critics, thumbs up; Boston film critics, thumbs up; Chicago film critics, thumbs up
No matter which film critic is unhappy, there is nothing he can do about it, the genius is back!
Success! One look at the word-of-mouth reputation of tlb, and everyone who understands the rules of the award season knows that Ye Wei really succeeded this time.
Why is this most difficult project to adapt always coveted by this and that big director? It's going to be an awards season darling when it's done. Don¡¯t forget that it is not just a viy movie, Spielberg also has the title of producer. Such a tlb, the two most important creators, one old and one young, must also be beneficial.Picture, will Paramount not do public relations?
The newly appointed group president Tom Freston, Paramount president Gail Berman and others are all looking forward to lighting a fire to strengthen their reputation day and night!
Martin Scorsese has enough to worry about, but he has another formidable opponent joining the cast.
Yahoo Entertainment reported with the title "Ye Wei's new film tlb is released, and the film critics are enthusiastically applauding", and quoted Ye Wei's words in an article explaining the "Ramnik incident": "There are some fools in the film critic world! It doesn¡¯t mean anything, it just means being a fool, but I do believe that they will praise me for my talent twice this year.¡±
Now that it has been achieved once, it seems that the gap between viy and film criticism has grown a lovely bone.
The home page of Rotten Tomatoes features a picture headline composed of posters of various characters, reporting "A party of admiration, incredibly sad and moving: 'The Lovely Bones'"; the New York Times said, "After the huge controversy of the first SS, Ye Wei-nian "The second work TLB stuns the North American film critics"; MSN Movie Channel said "VIY swept the film critics with its new work TLB", "Variety" said "A new star is born during the awards season, and the highly praised TLB is aiming for next year's Oscar stage"
¡¡
Comedy Central channel was broadcasting the latest "Daily Show" on TV screens with millions of viewers. Jon Stewart, who was sitting behind the announce table, shouted loudly: "Welcome today's guest, the star of "The Lovely Bones" Actress, Elizabeth Olsen!¡±
The audience was in jubilation and applause. A beautiful blond girl walked out of the left aisle of the studio. She waved hello with a smile. Jon shouted again: "She is also the sister of the Olsen sisters!" The excited audience laughed more.
"Thank you everyone." Liz sat down in the guest chair on the left side of the announce table. She was wearing a black and white plaid shirt and flared jeans, looking youthful and retro.
"tlb" is a serious movie, and it seems that it should be promoted on "The Oprah Show", but the original work is mainly aimed at young readers, and "The Daily Show", which is most popular among young people, is naturally a great choice. Ye Wei was busy with w¡¯sb¡¯s post-production, so the task of going to New York to record the show was given to Liz.
After Liz sat down, Jon stared at her without saying a word, nervously shaking the ballpoint pen in his hand. Liz looked at him without saying anything, and the audience burst into laughter.
Jon said: "Someone told me before that there are actually four Olsen sisters." The audience laughed, and Liz also laughed: "Yes, I am one of them, and my sisters Ashley and Mary-Kate, half-fatherly sister Courtney." Jon said blankly: "That's five people." Liz shrugged: "Mary-Kate is one person." Jon asked again: "Four. Can twins be half-blood?" Liz said again: "No, Courtney is not. Only me, Ashley and Mary-Kate are multiple twins." Jon said suddenly, "So there are four people. ¡±
"Hahaha!" The studio resounded with crazy laughter from the audience!
Liz and Jon both laughed too.
Liz went on to share, "I'm three years younger than my sisters, but sometimes when we're walking together, someone actually thinks I'm the older one, and then when they learn I'm the youngest, they just "She opened her mouth and looked shocked. The audience burst into laughter, and Jon couldn't help but laugh. She said more seriously: "Maybe you grow up very fast because you look at those adults all day long. I am 17 years old, but I am indeed relatively mature. Acting in this movie It made me grow a lot.¡±
"You play the role of a girl in the film who is killed and watches the misfortunes of her relatives and friends in the world." Jon also became serious, this topic was not a joke.
"Yes." Liz nodded, "She looked at the various changes in the world and the investigation of her case, but she couldn't do anything, which was very heart-wrenching and tense." Jon talked about the topics that the audience was interested in: "The film director Ye Wei also played the role of your boyfriend in the film?" Liz wrinkled her nose and nodded: "Yes, his performance in all aspects is excellent, I must say you will be shocked by his acting talent. "Jon asked: "Are you happy with things?"
"Of course." Liz chuckled without thinking, "He is both a mentor and a friend to me. Viy is such a good teacher. This is my first time acting in a movie. I remember the day it was started" She looked a little far-away, "I was nervous and he saw it and he told me 'Don't be nervous, there's nothing to be nervous about.'"
Jon listened seriously, but she did not continue, her eyebrows raised in joy: "That's it?" The audience burst into laughter, thinking that Liz was joking.
"Haha, that's not it. How can I say this?" Liz was also happy. "Although they are the same words, my voice is very weird, and Ye Wei's voice is very nice. He said it is very encouraging. I It's like she dislikes others for being in the way." She said, "Get away as far as you can!""
The audience was laughing, and the TV audience really liked this weird Elizabeth Olsen.

"Ye Wei's clever handling of Heaven ensures the emotional connection of the characters cast by the luxurious cast. It is an incredibly good job." 3.5/4, Todd McCarthy, "Variety"
"This movie switches between heaven and earth with ease, hitting the soul one after another until the end." 4/4, Claudia Puig, "USA Today"
"Ye Wei discerns the negative impact that sacred heaven must have in this sad story, with such thoughtful emotional enhancement and careful special effects display." 4/4, Roger Moore, "Orlando Sentinel"
"How do you explain paradise in the film? This is a problem that filmmakers have been avoiding and struggling with, and Ye Wei did not solve it." 2/4, David Anson, "Newsweek"
Although TLB has swept the film critic world, to be specific, not all film critics applauded, and the main reasons for the 8% of negative reviews were mostly non-war crimes, such as "Newsweek", one of the three major news weeklies in the United States. The mainstream media criticized it on the grounds of "why is there such a heaven?" and some Christian viewers were also very concerned about this issue.
They love SS to death, but that doesn¡¯t mean they can accept this ¡°heaven¡±. How could God let Susie be trapped there for many years after her death?
But how do filmmakers need to explain and solve this problem? There is no explanation in the original work. Who in the world knows what "heaven" is like?
"That's a setting!" Lu Casm was very funny about this. Some dissatisfied viewers also had this reason. "Some Christian viewers are really neurotic. Is this offensive to God? Movies slyly say that it is just the middle." Stop. What's wrong with Susie's state of mind affecting her paradise?"
Another major dissatisfaction of the audience was the story itself. SA provoked n-p to give it half a star and said: "Sad! When Susie Shamoon was killed, I just wanted to scream and leave the screening room, but Ye Wei held me down. Sitting on the chair and enduring more than two hours of torture with each poor audience member, if I can finish this movie, it will definitely exceed my endurance.¡±
Fa fan Liar-S also gave it one star with anger: "It's so vicious! This is a trip to hell. The scene where Susie was raped and killed was so bad. Why was it filmed like that? Thinking about it makes me want to vomit." , instead of Susie turning into a white light and leaving, wouldn't it be okay if we knew what was going on? I know you will still watch this movie because of Ye Wei and its stars, but I have a suggestion. , bring your painkillers."
"Slow, terrible, annoying! These two hours made me feel like an eternity." Eliza-n gave two stars and cursed again and again: "I don't know if I will watch Ye Wei's movies again. He is a genius. What kind of bullshit directorial intention did he have? I really couldn¡¯t understand it! To be honest, I was fascinated by it for the first half hour, but then it was a complete disaster. What I want to ask is, how can this be pg- Level 13 movie? Oh my God!¡±
lady-d scolded with sporadic comments: "It started well, but suddenly it turned into shit. I had to endure it. I didn't want to leave. If I continued watching, it just became more and more unbearable. I was going crazy." ! I don¡¯t care what it says, it may have some profound value, but I want my two hours back.¡±
Directorcat said angrily with one and a half stars: "How could VIY make such a monster movie? The close-up of Susie being raped is the most disgusting scene I have ever seen, and Elizabeth Olsen's face haunted me like a ghost. Now, I wonder if I¡¯m possessed by a demon, he just shouldn¡¯t shoot like that.¡±¡
Many people scolded TLB for being cruel and accused Ye Wei of being inhumane, but more people had mixed feelings.
paulo-g wrote with four stars: "I read the original work first and then watched the movie. It was so well made! Readers of the original work will not feel that much is missing, and all the details (thoughts and emotions) are exquisitely arranged. , which is an unexpected and reasonable arrangement. Like in the original novel, Jack had his knee broken and was sent to the hospital. Abigail was not drunk, she was sober and had an affair. , but later discovered that Ryan had a silk scarf from her mother and guessed that Mr. Harvey didn't die like that. These are just a few, and Ye Wei's amazing adaptation combines the main plot, touching details and originality of the script. A brutal and beautiful film."
Garyx also gave it four stars: "I haven't read the original work, but I was really moved by this movie. There are so many touching moments! Of course, there are also countless creepy moments. From the opening to the end, it has been touching Your mind, from edge to depth, holds onto your interests and emotions so tightly that they cannot be distracted at all.¡±
"Before watching it, I never expected that Ye Wei would use a linear structure to tell this story without losing its complexity. This really caught me!" saskia-d four-star praise?? wrote, ¡°The best part is that it doesn¡¯t let up until the very end! Whether it¡¯s cruel, sad, touching, etc., it goes straight to your heart and the feeling is both unsettling and captivating. By the time the movie ended, I I¡¯m relieved that it¡¯s finally over! I¡¯m very satisfied, but I¡¯m also disappointed. You¡¯ll know what I¡¯m talking about, and it¡¯s your loss if you don¡¯t.¡±
Before TLB was released, how did people care about its special effects? Was it enough? Will it be too much? Now the answer is out. The reason for criticism is rarely the special effects, but there are many praises. drake-t Samsung and a half wrote: "The scenes and visual effects are very well done. Although there are not many changes in Paradise, many scenes are impressive."
The film critics also affirmed this aspect. Richard Rope of "Albert and Rope" praised in his 5/5 review: "All the paradise scenes are very meaningful, and the powerful CGI rendering provides With enough kinetic energy, the delicate alternation between heaven and earth makes everything orderly.¡±
In the concluding paragraph, Luo Pei wrote: "Ye Wei's bold and hard-working subversive adaptation has achieved the best results. This talented young man is already a great director."
a-major-director!
This is almost an industry consensus. Being able to shoot TLB like this means that Ye Wei's talent and status are no longer the same kid as in LMS and SS. He has reached a new level.
If you want to write a review for tlb, you must talk more about its director and screenwriter, because anyone who knows a little bit about movies knows that its success or failure depends more on the director than other movies, so every film review by various film critics talks about Ye But no matter what.
However, the outstanding performance of the actors was also praised one after another. Keanu Reeves was praised as "creating a new performance height in the actor's career", and Stanley Tucci was also praised as "the most unforgettable role in his resume". , Ye Wei was praised as "charming and amazing", Wei Zi, Sarandon all became winners!
Although these girls are not stars yet, they are talked about the most by the media because of their topicality. With the newcomers forgetting the old, the limelight figure Emma Roberts has been left out in the cold. Now people are concerned about whether Elizabeth Olsen and Saoirse Ronan can compete for the Oscar for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively. Nominated.
Eight of the ten future girls have appeared, and none of them are parallel imports! The so-called "aura" of an actor is actually the display of acting skills. The less the actor himself, the more he can control the character, the more details he can create, and the more layered changes there are, the more aura he has and the more he can support the movie.
¡°These girls are either already able to stand alone, or they have shown that kind of talent.
Why aren¡¯t movie fans excited about this? They saw the future!
There are only two left. The two characters from "Winter's Bone" who have always been questioned, are they really just Ye Wei's "playmates"?
"Entertainment Weekly" wrote an article and reported: [After TLB was released, many of the outside world's doubts about the VIY talent show earlier this year naturally ended. The film once again proved that the young actresses who won the talent show were outstanding. Perhaps as Ivy Kaufman, the general casting director of the draft, said: "This is one of the best drafts I have seen in all my years of working in the industry."]
So, Jennifer Lawrence and Alicia Vikander are not that far apart. But in the competition between the three heroines, how could Lawrence, a humble man from the countryside of Kentucky, be compared to the likes of Roberts Jr. and Olsen Jr., who have attended top acting classes since childhood?
¡°The genius director¡¯s heroine¡± Elizabeth Olsen won 99.9% of the time.
¡¡
Does the limelight king Ye Wei have any new news in the new week?
The paparazzi caught it! Ye Wei drove a new black sports car out on the street. According to TMZ, it is Lamborghini's latest top sports car Bat LP640 released in July. It can push to 100km/h in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 340km/h. But it's also priced at $351,700.
It is reported that Lamborghini¡¯s total global sales last year were 1,600 new cars and 529 new cars. This is an absolute luxury car, but 350,000 is nothing to a big star, and it is obviously not a big deal to Ye Wei.
After viy mysteriously sold two sports cars, Porsche and Ferrari, for half a year, he finally stopped suffering! The secretaries were happier than driving the car themselves. People really don't have anything to say. Anyone who has a luxurious lifestyle can't say viy. SS's personal income has been donated, and a charity foundation is about to be opened.
Although the Bat LP640 is the latest model, the convertible version will not be released until next year. In a series of photos, Ye Wei sat alone in the driver's seat of the car, smiling at the paparazzi through the car window. There was a hint of provocation in his handsome smile. He then hooked his left index finger at the paparazzi, and then the paparazzi could only He was filmed driving away.
Gossip news headlines have also become "Ye Wei drove a new sports car on the road, arrogantly provoked reporters and then speeded away", "The bad boy is back? Ye Wei raced on the street!"
There are many famous people, and Leslie Dart came forward to make an official clarification to the media: "That was exaggerated and untrue fake news. Weige was joking with the paparazzi at the time, but he did not speed after that. He's a safety-first driver and he has a clean record in that regard."
That¡¯s right! What about Wei Lilian? Followers around the world are reading the news about the two of them every day. However, a week after the high-profile announcement of their relationship, they suddenly kept a low profile and stopped showing off their affection on social networking sites. It took several days before they were photographed by paparazzi again on the street. We went on a date, but this time we didn¡¯t even hold hands.
In the evening on the Third Pedestrian Street in Santa Monica, two people were walking on the road one behind the other. Lily walked in front with a smile, and Ye Wei followed a few steps away like a bodyguard assistant. You can say they are having a conflict, but they both have smiles on their faces. You can say they are close, but you can say they are just two strangers who are in a good mood.
Is this enough of showing off your affection? Stop it! Weili fans are very nervous and looking forward to it. Will they release new seductive tube videos?
¡¡
I really can¡¯t stand it.
Jennifer held the mouse and closed the news page "Ye Wei and Lily Collins' latest dating street photos". She really couldn't stand viy, I really hate these princesses Showing affection all day long, don't you bother me Made again Video and dating, no matter what, these things did not happen during ss post-production and tlb post-production. They all said that he worked hard for post-production. s and tlb were so good, especially tlb, it was so good that she almost cried while watching it. The packed audience spontaneously applauded for more than a minute when the show ended.
What now? Isn¡¯t w¡¯sb really a serious project? What does it mean to Ye Wei? What is jl?
"Alas!" Jennifer sighed. Sometimes, she felt that she had a place with him and was a person; but other times, she felt that she was just being sentimental, but in fact, jl was not important at all. It felt like she was happily sending birthday party invitations to others, only to realize that she was an idiot.
When I think about it, I feel more and more uneasy, angry and embarrassed
You shouldn¡¯t confess to him, just keep a straight face and act like a boring person.
"Don't think about it!" Jennifer decided, stop being like a pussy! Again, what do you feel? You are not a princess, just a tomboy who is not even a girl. Don't do stupid things, don't think stupid thoughts, hurry up and prepare for the audition of "Juno", there are only a few days left.
This is an important opportunity, and you can also compete head-on with Olson. When tough bones meet cute bones, who is afraid of whom?
Work hard, it¡¯s something you can¡¯t control.
