Chapter 1153 Anson’s Magic
"Chicago Sun-Times", Roger Ebert.
"The movie touches a certain degree of life wisdom in the extreme of stupidity, a straightforward interpretation of chaos theory; the strong dramatic tension guarantees a roller-coaster viewing experience. It is not Terrence Malick ( Terrence-Malick), but it still has its own charm
And Anson Wood? Undoubtedly a superstar. ”
Eighty percent.
Four stars recommended.
Saturday, sunny.
Quietly, the media review was updated, and so was the Chicago Sun-Times.
Roger expressed his position in his usual manner, being objective, rational, calm, and yet humorous.
Eighty points, although this is not the highest score of "Butterfly Effect", it is still an eye-catching score. It is even more conspicuous among the shocking negative reviews, and it easily stands out.
At this time, it can be clearly seen that Roger's attitude towards Anson has changed and he is continuing to reach new heights.
Don’t forget that during the original “Princess Diaries”, Roger was completely dismissive, and even criticized, and the first encounter between the two parties was not pleasant.
However, now, from the "cat and mouse game" to the "elephant" to the "butterfly effect", Roger has changed bit by bit and ushered in a new breakthrough.
The reason is that in the column of "Chicago Sun", Roger marked the watchability score as always, with a full score of four stars——
"The Furious Sea", Samsung.
"The Butterfly Effect," four stars.
It's clear at a glance.
The thing is that simple.
Three days ago, the premiere of "Fighting" came to an end in a frenzy of praise. Roger was not stingy with his appreciation and praise. His perfect score of 100 was even vigorously promoted by 20th Century Fox. Roger's comments are prominently listed in various official releases.
In an interview, Roger said without hesitation that this is a strong candidate for the top ten movies this year.
Obviously, the "butterfly effect" is not on the same level, but -
Viewability four stars.
In this way, Roger took a stand.
Suddenly there was a storm inside Hollywood.
After all, that is Roger Ebert, and regardless of whether Roger's comments have influence on the general public, for senior movie lovers and movie companies, the influence of this film critic does exist. .
In Hollywood, many eyes are fixed on the "Chicago Sun", waiting for Roger's film review.
Then, surprise!
Roger indeed brought a huge surprise, and people in the Hollywood industry were discussing among themselves, could it be that... the "Butterfly Effect" is preparing to counterattack?
No way?
Thousands of eyes are bustling towards the media review, witnessing the real-time update of the media review like never before——
It's spectacular.
Anson unknowingly wrote a new history.
On Saturday alone, there were 13 new media reviews on the "Butterfly Effect", which is equivalent to more than half of the first batch of media reviews, which is horrifying.
At this moment, I can once again clearly feel the squeeze from "The Big Show" and Russell Crowe on the day of the premiere, and the energy has not been released until now.
Regardless of good or bad reviews, at least judging from the numbers, the attention of the "Butterfly Effect" cannot be that low.
Of course, now, what matters is not quantity, but quality——
After all, the previous media reviews of "Butterfly Effect" didn't look good.
Seventy points, "Is 'The Butterfly Effect' a classic that will go down in history? Not so; did I enjoy my time in the theater and recommend it to a friend? Indeed." Seventy-five points, "One paragraph A roller coaster-like viewing experience that will satisfy popcorn lovers. Perhaps the only drawback is that it’s still too rough.”
Seventy-five points, "A daring teenage fantasy about life; but Anson Wood makes the story believable and impactful."
Thirty points, "If this was a high school drama festival performance, I would give it a round of applause. The only thing that kept me from leaving in the middle of this ridiculous and childish movie was Anson, who is incredibly charismatic."
Sixty-five points, "Worth watching and worth thinking about. Perhaps the biggest problem is that the plot in my mind is more complex and profound than the movie."
Sixty points, "Unfortunately, actors such as Anson Wood, Rachel McAdams, and Heath Ledger shine on the big screen, but the script really doesn't keep up."
Seventy-seven points, "I'm willing to buy it. The movie is just a superficial discussion of chaos theory, and the ending is not as profound and complex as imagined. The understanding of tragedy is very simple. But the movie is still good-looking. Among all the dramatic effects ”
Eighty percent, "Rough but delicate, fierce but powerful. The movie is like a straight punch, right on the bridge of the nose. Its purpose is to make you bleed and make you angry, and then leave room for thinking to every audience in front of the big screen; Incredibly, Anson Wood brings a complex and vulnerable character to life and is very convincing."
Seventy-three points, "I don't understand. Watching Anson Wood turn the tide on the big screen and try to save a disaster. With his good looks, long legs, and figure, what are you asking for?"
Praise, not accolades.
Criticism, not criticism.
As expected, the second wave of media comments was still full of mixed emotions. After all, the "Butterfly Effect" did not perform the miracle of a desperate counterattack in word-of-mouth——
At least it proves that the first wave of media is not black for the sake of being black.
But it is worth noting that the tendency of comments is tilting towards the other side:
Good reviews.
Regardless of the content of the reviews, the proportion of positive reviews has a dominant advantage, reversing the previous bad situation of negative reviews in the media.
Moreover, the media's overall rating also quietly increased from 61 points to 66 points!
Although it is still at the 60-point mark, it finally managed to escape the struggle on the edge of the passing line, even surpassing Russell Crowe's "Gladiator" back then, and gained more recognition from professional film critics in terms of comprehensive media reviews.
rare!
Really rare!
Little by little, the media reputation of the "Butterfly Effect" began to pick up.
Then, something incredible happened——
On Sunday, following yesterday, media reviews rose for the second consecutive day!
People in the Hollywood industry can clearly feel that the popularity of "Butterfly Effect" is still rising, and it has finally completed the overtake of "The Fight".
Comprehensive media reviews were once left far behind by the "Raging Sea", but now they include comments from 48 media outlets, completing the counterattack.
At least in the media, the popularity of the "butterfly effect" has taken the lead.
This situation was definitely not expected by 20th Century Fox——
They spent so much on publicity, and this is the result?
New Line Cinema randomly built a few crude stages like a grassroots team, and then messed up the rules and released five versions of the ending in one breath. In this way, it completed its counterattack against 20th Century Fox?
This...what the hell is this?
The 20th Century Fox publicity and distribution department simply passed out in the bathroom.
The advantage lasted for less than five days, and the balance of the situation had been reversed.
This scene was definitely something people didn’t expect.
However, this is what happened.
So, this is... Anson's magic?
