Chapter 1150 The ice and fire of "A Generation of Beauty" and "Cleopatra" are delivered, asking for

To be fair, "A Generation Beauty" is definitely a successful movie at the box office. The box office has been singular, at least it proves Hitchcock's usual smartness in the box office. He knows how to attract the audience's attention and knows how to make the audience willing to pay for tickets to watch movies.

However, box office success and the artistry of the movie are often different. Although Hollywood directors highly appreciate Hitchcock's movie, many directors also increase wholesale and retail for Hitchcock's new work.

As the most complete film critic in Hollywood, Adam Bernstein criticized Hitchcock's film in an unsatisfactory way.

"First of all, I have to say that "A Generation Beauty" is not above the same level as Hitchcock's previous works such as "Thirty-Nine Steps". Although Hitchcock has made great innovations in this movie, although we can see that the overall style of his movies has begun to brighten and become a bit Baroque, I want to say that these changes in Hitchcock are simply not good at. Such innovations have produced a result, and the result is that the things he was good at disappeared, and what appears on the screen are all things he is not good at. It is difficult for these things to be believed that such a movie was shot by Hitchcock."

"The story presented by "A Generation of Beauty" is actually very good. Hitchcock has always had unique eyes in material selection. He presents the whole world through the vision of a woman, and shows the joys and sorrows of the world through the life experience of a woman. This angle is very good, because before, when we observed the eyes of the world and understood the perspective of this opportunity, we are all macho, so to some extent, Hitchcock's movie should belong to a feminist film."

"But such a story. When Hitchcock handled it, there was a fatal injury. This fatal injury was Vivien Leigh. Not to mention the filming of this movie, Vivien Leigh and Mr. Hitchcock had a series of things. In this movie alone, the character arranged by Hitchcock was obviously too utilitarian."

"This utilitarianism has already emerged since Hitchcock first collaborated with Vivien Leigh. Vivien Leigh appeared as a sexy woman in Mr. Hitchcock's first movie. That movie made people amazing. There is no one in Hollywood who understands how to make an actor gain the attention of the public. Before that, Vivien Leigh's appearance on the screen was tough and pure, but Mr. Hitchcock made Vivien Leigh subversion, and it was very successful. The people who had never seen Vivien Leigh's sexy look were crazy about that movie. As a result, Hitchcock and Thunderbolt Film Company won both fame and fortune."

"Maybe he tasted the sweetness from this, so Mr. Hitchcock obviously took advantage of this when he used Vivien Leigh this time. And it deepened the level and transformed Vivien Leigh from a sexy woman to a slut. This design is obviously not considered from an artistic perspective, but from the box office of the movie."

"This is also an important reason why I say that Mr. Hitchcock is very utilitarian in this movie. The story concept of "A Generation of Beauty" is very good. Do you need to point the camera at a slut? Do you need to use so many sensual shots in the whole movie to express it? I think Mr. Hitchcock sometimes expresses it for the sake of performance. Eighty percent of the sensual shots about Vivien Leigh that appear in "A Generation of Beauty" are unnecessary. Those shots do not help the plot and the reveal of the subject. It is purely visual stimulation. I think Mr. Hitchcock knows this more than anyone, but he still does it. Why? Because he knows that the audience likes to watch it, and he knows that the box office of the movie will rise all the way."

"A movie like this obviously becomes a water-filled movie, becoming unclear and neat, and becoming unindirectly hard. The screening time of the movie is certain. If there are more meaningless content in this aspect, the connotation of the whole movie will be less. So many things in this movie have not been unfolded, and they become thinner."

"In terms of the rhythm of the whole movie, Mr. Hitchcock's new film also retreated a lot. I think the biggest feeling of the audience for Mr. Hitchcock's movie is that it is nervous. Mr. Hitchcock is a master of Hollywood psychological suspense movies. This is undeniable. The biggest feature of his movie is that the whole movie is tense from beginning to end, making people's hearts always hang up. Watching his movies, you can't sleep at all. The whole person is like a rolling river stimulating with the waves. That kind of tension is the biggest feature of Mr. Hitchcock's movie."

"But such a feature is simply not found in "A Generation Beauty". The rhythm of this movie is very loose. Some scenes make people sleepy. There are too many sensual shots about the heroine. It is obviously a bit heavy. Even the scenes of Mr. Hitchcock are originally good at murderous shots in the movie. They become weak and weak. This disappoints me very much."

"Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable collaborated together. It is one of the biggest highlights of this movie. I think anyone who buys tickets to watch the movie in the cinema is most of the people who want to watch Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable perform on their faces. One is one of the most popular female movie stars in Hollywood, and the other is the sexiest man in the United States. Their cooperation is very considerable in itself."

"But in the movie, I didn't feel that the opponent's scenes between Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable were sparked. Compared with "Gone with the Wind", these two people performed much worse. Perhaps because of the plot design, although there are many opponents between Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, the opponent's scenes are often not very exciting, the dialogue is weak, and more importantly, the role settings of these two people are very different from the things they are good at. This makes the two people feel like they are talking to themselves when they act in the opponent's scenes."

"Although Vivien Leigh is so sexy in the movie, and although Clark Gable is still so handsome and so handsome, the two of them are as if they have lost their souls. There is only one empty shell left, which makes people feel shriveled."

"There are many shortcomings, the most important shortcomings, and the most fatal certainty. It lies in the values ​​of Hitchcock. When he first entered Hollywood, Mr. Hitchcock was very serious about the film. He really regarded the film as an ideal. But now, after several years of tempering, Mr. Hitchcock has less ideal atmosphere, but more secular, and pays attention to the box office, which greatly reduces the artistic nature of his films. Is this the sadness of Mr. Hitchcock or the sadness of Hollywood film companies?"

"After the premiere of "A Generation Beauty", there will definitely be many people who praise this movie. But I must say that although the movie has achieved great success in the box office, at best it can only be said that it is a commercial movie that is successful, and it cannot be said that it is a successful art movie. Because such a movie is still far from the real artistic level of Hollywood movies."

"If Mr. Hitchcock wants to succeed, it is obviously not possible in the box office alone. For a filmmaker, if he cannot shoot several decent art films in his life, or when the audience talks about him many years later, he finds that the movies he shoots are almost all of the box office movies, such a director is actually a failure."

"A Generation Beauty can be used as a script and an example. From this example, our Hollywood filmmakers can learn a lot!"

Adam Bernstein's comment on "A Generation of Beauty" is very long, and the article is simply profound and profound.

As the most authoritative film critic in Hollywood, Adam Bernstein has completely entered the level of experts in film research and evaluation. He is familiar with the style, advantages and disadvantages of Hollywood directors. He also knows what kind of movie is a real movie, not a crunchy movie for box office or for his own entertainment.

Although Adam Bernstein's comment was very sharp, as long as he read it carefully, you will know that Adam Bernstein was not talking nonsense. He had a very profound understanding of movies, and he was often able to hold on to the life of a movie.

Therefore, many Hollywood filmmakers respect and awe of Adam Bernstein because he is a person who is not easily caught in the sand in his eyes. No matter whose movie it is, he will tell the truth. He never cares about who he will offend, nor will he encourage his own statements to have any impact on the movies he evaluates. He doesn't care about these things, anyway, he is only responsible for his work and his conscience.

Although many directors have praised Hitchcock's "A Generation Beauty", Adam Bernstein's comments have gained support in the minds of filmmakers and audiences. People think that Adam Bernstein is a truthful person, and what he said is indeed very reasonable.

Lei Dianhua Film Company is also very clear about this, after all, it is their own movie. Although Adam Bernstein severely criticized Lei Dianhua for criticizing Hitchcock, he was just talking about the matter, analysing it in an orderly manner and almost controlled the life of "A Generation of Beauty", which obviously won the unlimited trust of the audience.

Therefore, in Hollywood, this view was formed, that is, Adam Bernstein's view on "A Generation Beauty" finally became mainstream.

In other words, although the box office of this movie is ridiculously high, from an artistic perspective, this movie is still a huge gap from an excellent art film, which is a mistake made by Hitchcock. At this point, he really pays too much attention to the box office and ignores the artistic nature of the movie's dependence on.

Hitchcock's movies caused a stir in Hollywood and caused widespread discussion. The film was mixed, but at least for Hitchcock, he made a lot of money for the film company through this movie, and thus his position within the Thunderbolt Film Company will obviously be greatly consolidated, which is important for him.

So for Hitchcock, this movie was a complete success. Leidenghua Film Company later commended Hitchcock and the movie, making Hitchcock's life easier.

Hitchcock felt that his goal had been achieved, but many filmmakers, especially viewers who liked his movies, invisibly realized the regression of a director, which was very strange.

Hitchcock's film caused controversy, but the second blockbuster invested in the shooting location of Thunderbolt Film Company gave people a great sense of identity.

Sissy Dimil, an old Hollywood director, has basically been lying in the middle of his life after joining Thunderbolt Hua Film Company. Since leaving MGM Film Company, he has never filmed blockbusters that he is good at. As he entered Thunderbolt Hua Film Company, Sissy Dimil also began to develop a strong interest in blockbusters and even blockbusters.

The battles in Leidianhua Film Company have progressed very well. People like Sissy Dimil are sometimes very excluded. Especially in terms of filming, so when Sissy Dimil announced that he would shoot "Cleopatra", many people thought that this movie would ruin Sisy Dimil's Hollywood movie path because people thought Sissy Dimil was completely stupid. Such a movie had been proven to be an unsuccessful work by the Hollywood Bronze Man. The movie not only lost the worst, but was always stared at the shame.

This time, Sissy Dimil actually wanted to shoot such a movie. And it invested heavily, which obviously made the audience feel worried. If the movie fails, Sissy Dimil will be completely abandoned by Hollywood and will be completely launched on the Hollywood movie stage.

Compared to "A Generation of Beauty", the movie "Sis Dimildi" does not have any twists and turns. On the contrary, the filming went smoothly. The movie gave people the impression from the beginning that it was a "sad soldier". The topic selection seemed to be a dead end. The director was a director and an actor who was on the decline. Whether it was Lawrence Oliver or Juno Jane, they were all actors who had a decline in the second level of the film at Leidianhua Film Company. Such a situation would not make people worry that it was impossible.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the sad soldiers would win, and this sentence was completely revealed in Sidmire.

After the release of "Cleopatra", it was welcomed loudly. While the box office was very good, it was unanimously recognized by Hollywood filmmakers.

"The film "Cleopatra" filmed by Sissidimil reminds us the most about a movie of the same name before Hollywood. The movie was also very invested, but it was lost in a mess and spent so much money. In the end, it showed many things that were meaningless and fake, which completely overturned the car."

"But Mr. Sissy Dimil's "Cleopatra" allows us to see a movie that is completely different from the previous one. It also explains Sissy Dimil's great skills in blockbusters from one aspect. After all, the concept of blockbusters was born from MGM Film Company, and Sissy Dimil is the founder of the blockbuster model system. After so many setbacks, the demeanor of the master in Sissy Dimil still has no retreat. Instead, there will be new experiences and new experiences because of setbacks."

"There are few scenes about love in the entire movie of Cleopatra, almost pitiful. This is a world of difference from our imagination. We think that such a movie will mainly show the amazing charm of Cleopatra and the legendary story of her life. There must be a lot of exciting scenes. But the result is that there are almost not many such scenes in this movie. Because it is a blockbuster, Cleopatra. Dimil spent most of his investments on the exquisite layout of the scene and grand scenes in this movie. He almost all mentioned the erotic scenes of Cleopatra. The whole movie restores Cleopatra to an ordinary woman, beautiful, jealous, scared, and scheming. Such a woman makes us feel friendly and let us experience a lot of things."

"I have to say that the performances of the two actors in this movie, as the protagonist, Juno Jane, have fully interpreted the essence of Cleopatra in this movie. We haven't seen Juno on the screen for a long time. Jane, as the Harvey Award winner and one of the most famous movie stars of the Thunder Dinghua Film Co., Ltd., Juneo Jane, has fallen into a trough in the past one or two years. Not only do they have many opportunities to shoot movies, but they often only get a supporting role in the few opportunities to shoot movies."

"Although Juno Jane is not as beautiful as Vivien Leigh, and although Juno Jane is not as famous as Vivien Leigh, in terms of acting skills, Juno Jane is not inferior to Vivien Leigh. On the contrary, her performance in this movie far exceeds Vivien Leigh's performance in "A Generation of Beauty". It would be a pity if Lei Dianhua Film Company ignores such an excellent actor!"

"The Beautiful Beauty and Cleopatra have become two very interesting comparison movies. The movies we thought were very erotic were extremely serious, while the movies we thought might be very serious were full of lust. The movies we had deep expectations for were a bit disappointed, while one of ours, who must fail, achieved brilliant results!

"This result is obviously completely beyond our expectations."

"After watching these two movies by Lei Dinghua, I just want to say one thing, that is: I hope Hitchcock will not be a hooligan again in the future! I hope that all Hollywood filmmakers can take movies seriously like Sissie Dimil!"

A comment from King Vidor gave Cleopatra a very high evaluation.

The wish he said at the end was very meaningful.
