Chapter 1342 is not to be missed
"...It is not a masterpiece, but it is undoubtedly a work of genius."
Roger Ebert said so.
A thousand words can be said in just one sentence, which shows Roger's attitude.
Roger didn't think it was a masterpiece, but Charlie Kaufman's genius imagination finally found a just-right way to present it.
In fact, it can be seen from the ratings——
Ninety-three points.
Not a perfect score.
Since the Cannes Film Festival, Roger's praise and admiration for Anson have attracted a lot of attention. The Pulitzer Prize winner seems to have a different regard for the idol idol. This is definitely a topic in the film critic circle.
However, Roger is very calm, behaves and sits upright, he is worthy of every evaluation of himself, has a clear conscience, and can withstand all tests:
If it's good, it's good; if it's not good, it's bad.
In front of me, it's the same, "Nuan Nuan Contains Light" is good, but it's not good enough.
To some extent, Roger's views overlap with those of The Baltimore Sun.
Roger agreed. Charlie Kaufman is a screenwriter who relies heavily on concepts and structures. He starts with an idea and embeds reality and illusion layer by layer, allowing the audience to lose themselves between the real and the fake.
Like a dream, but extremely real.
Under such a dazzling high-concept shell, the emotional filling and outline inevitably lack the support of details, so that the characters are easily confused.
Therefore, people often say that actors will be swallowed up by Charlie Kaufman's script——
Director, same thing.
As a screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman has such a strong presence that he takes over the screenplay. Even Meryl Streep, John Malkovich, Nicolas Cage and other experienced actors are no exception.
The Baltimore Sun's criticism is legitimate.
The difference is that Roger believes that in the work "Warm and Inner Light", Charlie Kaufman also realized that emotional bonds are the core of the film's chemical reaction, so he consciously added emotional details and allowed The two actors bring more life to their characters.
"Kate Winslet gave the most dynamic, romantic and vital performance of her career.
In a wave of Hollywood actresses choosing to be ugly to cover up their appearance so that the audience can focus on their performances, she did not do this and just made the character of Clementine ordinary.
ordinary. This is more difficult than we thought.
However, such a character who does not hide her shortcomings at all has an incredible charm, her freedom, her bravery, her unrestrainedness, her changeability, her vitality, her fragility, her uneasiness, her confusion, her impulsiveness. A complex but full of countless possibilities.
Delicate and vivid, layered and vivid, Kate Winslet successfully makes us fall in love with Clementine——
Who can not love her? ”
You can deeply feel the energy Roger poured into it between the lines. He likes the role of Clementine, and he likes the color Kate injects into the character.
Before "The Light Within", Kate had been nominated for an acting Oscar three times, once for "Sense and Sensibility", once for "Titanic", and once for "The Road Is Near", although she was still under thirty years old. , Kate is already a leader among the new generation of actresses in Hollywood.
However, Roger still believes that Clementine is Kate's best performance so far.
The attitude is clear at a glance.
Moreover, Roger believed that Anson's performance in the movie was not inferior to Kate's.
"Anson Wood, handsome guy.
Nothing special, just ready to repeat it again, 'Handsome', 'Charming', these adjectives seem to have become a habit when placed together with him, there is no violation or weirdness, this It's a fact, it's that simple. In this work, it is still the same.
Although he looks dull, reserved, serious, rigid, and vicissitudes of life, and even uses a slight hunchback and a bad beard to hide people's attention to his appearance; he is still handsome, charming, and handsome, even if he is just sitting on the beach in Montauk Chewing chicken legs can also attract women's attention.
However, for the first time, within that skin, we can see his flaws.
rigid. stiff. self-abasement. suspicious. Fragile.
God, what a useless man this is, but the wonderful thing is that we don’t hate him, let alone hate him, because in his blue eyes, we can see his sincerity, purity, simplicity and persistence. Like an ocean, it always contains Clementine's flame.
At the end of the movie, we can see a kind of contradictory confusion in the character of Joel:
Hesitant and determined, timid and brave, fragile and tenacious.
He didn't know why he did this or what he should do, but he still took steps in fear and confusion.
It's not just the eyes, but also the expressions, movements, and demeanor. From the inside out, Anson Wood's soul is perfectly integrated with that man.
If Joel is the self-projection of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, then there is no doubt that Anson Wood will give a hundred percent performance——

Not too much, not too little, just right.
At certain moments, that character seems to be projected back onto Anson Wood, making the audience realize that this actor is much more than just his looks. ”
More than just praise.
Words have power. In the arrangement and combination of those words and words, the author evolves the pictures and emotions in his mind into a language and presents them. In this way, he conveys them to the readers who read carefully, completing it in the air. Soul stirring and thought exchange.
Roger did not hide or intend to hide his appreciation for Anson——
"Butterfly Effect", "Elephant", "Warm and Containing Light", in Roger's opinion, Anson completed the triple jump and truly opened the door to the actor's role.
Of course, Roger understands that there are many famous people, and those controversies and doubts will never disappear, but Anson does continue to move forward and climb at his own pace. No matter how "Spider-Man 2" performs next, with "Warm Heart" With "Han Guang", Anson has established himself as the number one actor in Hollywood.
No one can match it.
Including Roger himself, he is also looking forward to the box office performance of "Nuan Nuan Inner Light".
Therefore, Roger agreed with the first half of the "Baltimore Sun" opinion, but disagreed with the second half.
In Roger's view, Kate and Anson's performances inject soul into the script, making "Warmth and Light Within" Charlie Kaufman's most emotionally impactful work; and the supporting actors' outstanding performances It’s the icing on the cake, making this movie a mirror of modern love.
Everyone can see their own reflection.
Ninety-three points is not perfect, but it still clearly shows Roger's attitude.
Moreover, in terms of recommendation index, Roger gave a perfect score of four stars——
"Not to be missed".
Roger said that if you are only going to watch one movie throughout March and April, I would recommend "Warm and Bright". You may like it or you may be disappointed, but you will definitely not waste two hours.
The attitude couldn't be more obvious.
In this evaluation, we can deeply feel Roger's objectivity and fairness. Looking back at the other evaluations, it is not difficult to understand the scene in front of us.
Full marks, a powerful hit.
