This is a reprehensible movie, and its story is very cruel: after a 14-year-old girl was raped and murdered by a serial killer, she watched how her relatives and friends in the world were heartbroken in a "private paradise" like a prison, and she herself How miserable. In the end, the case was solved by the girl's family, and the murderer died in a car accident while escaping. Years later, the girl's relatives and friends have accepted the fact, and she has regained her spiritual freedom.
The producer of this film is Ye Wei, a talented 18-year-old filmmaker. He has shown in-depth thinking and precise grasp of the audience's psychology. He knows what can be put into the film and what cannot. Just like in a happy gathering of girls in paradise, the heroine Susie Shamoun angrily did not participate, but locked herself in her prison. She could not let paradise become like the carefree world of Teletubbies. It was another tortured moment where the film's main quest was to make me grieve.
It is adapted from the best-selling book by Alice Sebold that everyone seems to have read a few years ago. I have never seen the original work before, and the movie makes me a little confused. Is it faithful to the original work? If so, millions of Americans are pathetic. With such a tragedy, poetic but horrifying narration, and indescribable pain, how could they finish reading such a novel? There's a real sense of despair running through the movie until the final moments, where it feels like evil things are God's will, good people and good deeds are destroyed, and you have no choice but to mourn in agony that those girls are dead.
But after reading Sebold¡¯s novel, I was relieved. She writes well and with extraordinary sensitivity. I'm not saying that Ye Wei's film is not good. He made some changes, such as ignoring the humor in pain. Although this genius is a master of humor, he has no intention of doing so. He even distorted some of the spirit and elements of the original work to suit his wishes. The Susie in the novel is more positive and optimistic than the Susie in the movie. She attended the party of the paradise girl, but it was not a play.
Probably out of consideration for the audience's emotions, Ye Wei handled the material in this way. With keen insight, considerate scheduling, and the superb performances of the actors, he made this film with a strange mixture of darkness and light, which has attracted countless audiences. Millions of viewers bought into it.
Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Susie, is a very good young actress, and her performance is flawless, whether she is on earth or in heaven. Compared with the original work, Susie's Paradise is a bold and effective adaptation, which is determined by her imagination and mood. However, it is not a fairy tale fantasy-style flower world. Most of the time, it is dark, weird, and depressing.
In my opinion, heaven transcends time and space, has neither essence nor color, and is an insensible state. There is no thought, let alone statement. It's an eternal being of infinite beauty, and you don't have to think, "Oh my God! This is amazing!" You are just you. Now I have a lot of theologians around me.
The film begins with Susie in her paradise, and then uses ghost narration to connect her to the human world, telling the story of her life, the occurrence of the murder, and the situation of her family after the crime. Her father (Keanu-Ree) Weiss) trying to solve the case, her mother (Rachel Weisz) escaping from reality and cheating and leaving home, her sister (Saoirse Ronan) trying to be strong, and the young child who is overwhelmed by the great changes in the family. Brother and a big, friendly pet dog.
The case is solved without too many plot twists. This is another smart handling by Ye Wei. We all know who the murderer is, Mr. Harvey (Stanley Tucci), and have no patience with him. The movie is neither unnecessary nor unnecessary. The suspense is also convincing enough to solve the case and punish the murderer. After the film's Mr. Harvey dies suddenly in the right way at the right time, the film then reaches several years later through a bittersweet montage of time passing and the characters have changed.
Susie¡¯s parents are convinced by time that they have lost their daughter, her sister has grown up (Maody Symington), her brother has become rebellious, and her pet dog has died and reunited with her in heaven. These are all subtle and moving changes in emotion. We also get to know Susie's grandmother (Susan Sarandon), a wise old man who provides relief in times of despair, the clown that every tragedy needs. There are also Susie¡¯s boyfriend (Ye Wei), two girl friends, friends in heaven and others. These actors are all very good and it's not easy to be in a movie together.
Such a tragic story full of fantasy elements can easily make people suspicious and dissatisfied, but it is extremely emotionally convincing. Susie, a girl, has experienced various changes in the world. When watching, you will not ask why. It is very rare that a tragic film with many clues, alternating scenes and a long time has this kind of mesmerizing power. I didn't doubt the sunshine in Ye Wei's heart, but I didn't ignore the darkness in his heart. This time, you will see it.?
It¡¯s normal to criticize and praise this movie after watching it. People who are heartbroken don¡¯t get over it in a few hours. It took me a week.
It-took-me-a-week!
Media and movie fans now know. No wonder Albert didn¡¯t write a film review for tlb as soon as possible, and was even a week behind the film review team. Judging from his tone, if he had written a review a week ago, he would have been scolding Ye Weidun. Like the "condemnation" mentioned at the beginning, it was not that the filming was not good, but that it was too sad.
The old man read the original work and regained his mind before writing this four-star film review fairly. There was also no mention of the SS war of words, even though he was considered a member of Ye Wei's camp.
So far, the first two parts of the Girls Trilogy have received two thumbs up from this film critic who is respected by Ye Wei. Two weeks after its release, TLB's rating remained stable at 92% freshness, while audience love dropped to 89%. Most of the criticism was due to unresolved heartbreak. Metactic's rating was 95, while IMDB's rating dropped slightly to 84.
¡°I know this is a good movie, but I didn¡¯t like it, and I want to scold it.¡± Those who say ¡°I know this is a good movie, but I don¡¯t like it, and I want to scold it¡± are usually ordinary viewers, while movie fans have already jumped to watch w¡¯sb!
viy¡¯s third work this year! The original work is already on the market, and the story is not mysterious. Anyone who has read it knows that it is no easier than TLB. It should be said that the writing style of the original work is more cruel. What will Ye Wei's film look like? Another trip to hell?
But another problem worries many movie fans. W'sb has three theaters planned for its opening week, two in Los Angeles and one in New York. Not only will audiences in other cities not be able to preview it, but if it does not do well at the box office, it will not be able to expand the screening scale, and it will only be limited to I can wait until the DVD comes out to watch it.
¡°Sometimes I really envy people who live in Los Angeles!¡± This sentence has been agreed by countless movie fans.
I have the opportunity to watch movie premieres, and I also have the opportunity to meet movie stars on the road, like Ye Wei, like Emma Roberts, who was praised by Albert for her "likable and convincing" performance in SS, and like being praised. "Very good, flawless" Elizabeth Olsen, this is really the highest compliment for an actor!
Miss Olsen can't escape the popularity in the United States this time. She previously appeared on the cover of "Grand View" with Ye Wei, and recently she appeared on the cover of "Entertainment Weekly" by herself. She was young and beautiful in a light blue dress. The title That's her name:

The night before Thanksgiving, Jennifer received a call from Ye Wei at home. Looking at the caller ID "viy" on her phone screen, she felt strangely excited. There has been no contact since we said goodbye at the airport at the beginning of the month. We only exchanged a few text messages to congratulate each other on the audition for "Juno" and the release of TLB, and that's it until now.
She quickly ran back to her bedroom upstairs and answered the call: "Hello."
"Happy Thanksgiving, Jenny." Ye Wei's blessing came from the mobile phone. Jennifer laughed and said: "Wei, happy Thanksgiving, thank you for taking care of me." He hesitated a little: "I have bad news to tell you. Although it ruins the joy of the holiday, it doesn't really matter."
As soon as she heard him say this, Jennifer guessed what was going on and stopped walking up the stairs, "About the audition for "Juno"?"
"Yes, it worked out. Jason Reitman chose Ellen Page to play Juno and Liz Olsen to play Leia. Unfortunately, I said before that you are too tall."
"Oh" Jennifer responded. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. It was just another failed audition, it was nothing at all
No one said that hard work will lead to success! Effort is the least valuable thing. If you audition a million times, you might only succeed once, and that's the life you want.
In just a moment, she responded with a smile: "That's it? Bad news? Then I would have committed suicide a long time ago. It's nothing. There are plenty of opportunities."
"Wow, man, you have a healthy mentality! Keep it up. The fact is, there will always be good opportunities, either this or that, it depends on whether you have the strength to seize one. Don't be busy auditioning first, wait It will be different if we continue after w'sb is released."
"Um¡¡"
"Let's not talk about it for now, I still have something to be busy with."
"Actually I have a Thanksgiving gift for you" Jennifer couldn't help but say stiffly. Once they left Springfield, they had no personal relationship and didn't even know how to give a gift. Instead, she received a holiday card from him with a handwritten blessing.
"Oh, thank you!" Ye Weixiao said, "I also have a gift for you, but I'm too busy to give it to you personally. Gia will contact you and she will be responsible for helping me deliver the gift. You can send your gift to me when the time comes. Leave it to her, thank you.¡±
¡°Okay, thank you for your gift too.¡±
The call ended with a strange politeness. Jennifer leaned on the handrail of the stairs and exhaled a sullen breath.
She vaguely felt that Liz Olsen's decision to play Leah was viy's decision. He only mentioned Juno when he recommended it to her, and she only went to audition for Juno that day, Leah? was set aside. There wasn't even a chance to compete Was he sincere when he said "I hope it's you" or was he just saying it casually?
I don¡¯t know why my eyes feel hot. You can throw her into the trash can or hold her in your hands, but you can¡¯t let her be sentimental
I thought that one day I would be cared about by someone I like
I am not a "man", I am a girl.

It¡¯s a new weekend after Thanksgiving, and there are many new movies released. However, when November 24-30 ends, "Happy Feet" and "Casino Royale" continue to take the top two spots, both breaking the box office. 100 million; the performance of new films such as "Clues of Time" and "A Shining Christmas" were not satisfactory.
Among them, Darren Aronofsky's new film "The Fountainhead", which had high hopes, had a poor box office (35 million production fee, 4.76 million in the first week) and poor reviews (51% freshness), and it won the Venice Film Festival gold The Lion Award nomination was also useless, and it was officially eliminated from the awards season. Rachel Weisz was very majestic in TLB, but she fell down in her husband's movie.
And this week is the harvest season for viy movies! The box office of ss reached 90 million, and tlb exceeded 100 million! Ye Wei's third movie with a box office of over 100 million!
Movie Ranking Number of Release Weeks Number of Theaters Average Weekly Box Office Total Box Office Production Cost (Millions) Distributor
"The Lovely Bones" - No. 3 Week 3 3205 Home 7, 08722, 715, 379109, 934, 55625 Paramount
This ranking is really exciting and worrying for movie fans. Both authentic viy movies have achieved great success at the box office, but "Carrie" is still a little short of breaking 30 million, just 450,000! Fortunately, it is bound to break through because it continues to have a 9th week of screenings.
"Carrie" is not a huge failure relative to its cost. Lionsgate is still losing money, and it hasn't even released it overseas yet. But it seems that it won¡¯t be able to survive the Dec15-21 week in two weeks, when the viy girl trilogy will be released at the same time! A rare occurrence in film history.
Rumors about Ye Wei¡¯s new project continue to increase, but there is no news about its implementation.
The secretaries saw a surprising Black Friday update reported by TMZ: "viy drove a Lamborghini to Costco to grab shower gel?" In a series of photos taken by the paparazzi, in the early morning of the 24th, Ye Wei He drove to a Costco supermarket and disappeared into the crowd, apparently participating in panic buying. Afterwards, he returned to the car and left holding many different brands of shower gel in his hands.
"What are you doing!?" Weimi exclaimed in a dumbfounded voice. What kind of habit is this? Or some kind of manufacturer advertisement? How is that possible!
Young people on the 4chan forum cheered for joy. The meme "Sad Loser Viy" has new material. A loser is a loser. Never overestimate the heart of a loser. You bought a Lamborghini to carry bargains! Some people also say that after buying so much shower gel, they seem to be sweating a lot!
Fans are more concerned about new developments in "Juno" co-produced by Ye Wei. According to the "Hollywood Reporter", the promising 19-year-old star Ellen Page has joined the cast to star in the heroine "Juno". Recently, The popular Elizabeth Olsen has joined the cast as the supporting actress "Leah".
This is quite surprising. Peggy's future is good, and her popularity is relative. If it weren't for the small supporting role in "X-Men: The Last Stand", the only movie she starred in with a big banner was "Fruit Candy", which was released and only received 1.02 million North American box office. Although Peggy's joining this time is bold, it is not a risk. With Ye Wei joining, it will be a good opportunity for everyone. Moreover, she is already famous for her cult movies. She is not afraid of "Fruit Candy" and "Juno" cannot destroy her. .
But what about Olson? The starring debut has exceeded 100 million in North American box office! She was much redder than Peggy now. She became famous as "Susie" and was loved by everyone. She could also shine during the award season. She was born in a famous family and had everything from strength, appearance, brains, family background, etc. She could steadily and gradually rise to become an A-list actress, but she actually joined the controversy. Project supporting role
"I'm really obsessed with the script of Juno," Olsen told the media excitedly. "I was so happy to be able to star in it that I almost cried, well, I didn't cry."
No matter what, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter is inseparable from Ye Wei. Is "Juno" really so good? So good that Ye Wei asked his heroine to play a supporting actress?
This has become a question on the minds of movie fans.
According to insiders, Jennifer Lawrence also participated in the audition that day, but did not get any role.
