The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2522

[Two thousand four hundred and eighty-four]

On November 13th, “The Lobster” was officially screened in North America, with a box office of 150,000 US dollars, easily creating the highest single-house record of the year in 2015, and easily ranked among the top 15 on the film history list. , such a performance is good news for any work.

However, the news media is very low-key, and even a little… disappointed, because this is Renly!

On the one hand, the whole of North America is cheering and celebrating. “Jurassic World” became the first work in North American film history to exceed 800 million US dollars. Renly once again wrote a heavy stroke in history; on the other hand, in 2013 “Drunken Country Ballad” , In 2014, the “Boom Drummer” successively made history, breaking the threshold of 200,000 US dollars at the box office of a single hall, which is also a brilliance recorded in history.

In comparison, the single-hall box office of “Lobster” of US$150,000 is a lot inferior. There is really not much to celebrate and spend, just like… a routine operation.

It’s unfair to say that for other movies, “the fourteenth highest single-house box office in film history” is just a routine operation?

So what about other movies?

How should other works deal with themselves?

But the reality is so cruel, because this is Renly, people always expect more mythology from Renly.

“The single-house box office of ‘The Lobster’ has not surpassed that of ‘Booming Drummer’? Bad reviews!”

“It hasn’t maintained an upward curve for three consecutive years? What’s going on?”

“Shouldn’t there be the first single-house box office breakthrough in North American film history ?

Wan’s live-action movie? Funny.”

“Oh, is that a sign that Renly’s undefeated aura is fading?”

“It didn’t make history? What’s going on?”

“No news headlines, haha.”

Social The joking voices on the Internet are not schadenfreude or downfall, but more of a mischievous joke, which once again makes people feel the traffic of Renly – the traffic of “not being there but being there”, for ” “Lobster” created a topic invisibly.

Leaving aside the hustle and bustle of ridicule, “The Lobster” is indeed very gratifying at the box office of the single hall, and it easily occupies a seed ranks in the first stage of the awards season, whether it is the early word of mouth and the final award of the Cannes Film Festival, or Renly and Sisyphus. The reputation of Sri Lanka Films has reserved a seat for “Lobster” in the awards season in advance. As for where and how far it can go in the awards season, there is no way to know.

New York Screening officially kicked off the awards season journey of “Lobster”, and Sisyphus Pictures’ awards season journey this year also set sail, and the subsequent “Focus”, “The Revenant”, and “Carol” will also appear one after another. , the overall momentum has gradually condensed, and there is a faint sense of grandeur.

At the same time,

North American word-of-mouth has also been fully lifted.

Following Cannes, “The Lobster” has also successfully received praise from North American film critics in North America, even more gratifying than expected.

The first batch of 48 media gave comments, of which 44 were positive, 4 were moderate, and 0 were negative.

Although this is already the regular configuration of “Renly Works”, “Lobster”, which has received zero negative reviews again, has easily become the focus of attention.

Compared with the slightly controversial reputation of the Cannes Film Festival, the overall praise of the film in the North American market is even higher than expected, and the performance is very good.

Four of the middle reviews are very interesting.

“The Guardian,” Sixty Points, “The story opens up an interesting time in a wondrous and eerie way, full of charming and unique charm; but the narrative reaches a point in the middle, where it seems suddenly lost Inspiration and creativity then began to be crammed into absurd and tedious episodes of dog-blood drama, culminating in a boring and bland comic-esque theme: human transformation into animals, literally. Hall’s efforts failed to change the overall picture. ”

“Los Angeles Times”, Sixty Points, “Indeed, ‘The Lobster’ is a work suitable for creating topics, network communication, and editing paragraphs, reflecting the loneliness and fear of modern life like a mirror, but the efforts in the second half of the film It’s thin and fragmented, and the drama fails to push the absurdity that gathered in the first half further into the depths, eventually leading to a clever but empty ending. The only surprise still comes from Renly Hall–isn’t it surprising? It

‘s actually a bit unexpected.”

“San Francisco Chronicle”, 58 points, “Lance Moss lacks the deep directing skills to control the intricate philosophical thinking, and also lacks the scheduling and editing skills of horror movies. Movies inspired by utopia, but the audio-visual language seems mediocre and boring, one idea and one idea, this seems to be all he has. The performances of all the actors are worth savoring and appreciating.”

There is also a middle comment. From “Entertainment Weekly,” which also gave the first review the lowest possible score, fifty out of 50, “It’s more of a repulsive and irritating film than a delightful and huggable film, No matter what level of communication and discussion the work presents, I wish I had never seen this movie.”

Interestingly, although Entertainment Weekly gave a comprehensive critique without commenting on the content of the movie, the final score remained the same. It’s a neutral review, not a bad review.

It is worth reference.

On the whole, North American film critics have remained largely consistent with the Cannes period, and criticism and criticism are still concentrated on the second half of “The Lobster”. Not being able to completely get rid of the story frame has caused a lot of controversy –

in the final analysis, Renly is still an actor, he can appreciate the script, analyze the characters, and in the actual operation process, he is not a screenwriter after all.

But in addition to the four middle reviews, the frenzy of forty-four positive reviews is the main component of the first batch of reviews of “The Lobster”. Even the media that first watched the film in Cannes, different film critics wrote their own stories for the first time. comments, the mainstream media have once again expressed their views.

“The New York Times,” 100%, “Who could have imagined that this was a love movie? ‘The Lobster’ also reawakens our nostalgia for the great classic love movies in film history – ‘Casablanca’, ‘Gone with the Wind’, ‘Old Times’ ‘ – Takeaway: Not all loves have a happy ending. Renly Hall once again delivers a brilliant comedy show, proving that he can handle any type of role.”

Us Weekly, One Hundred, “When What exactly happens when Wes Anderson meets Franz-Kafka, ‘Lobster’ gives the perfect answer, plus a bit of George Orwell: Fantastic , spooky, humorous, ironic, deep, light, grim.”

The Hollywood Reporter, One Hundred, “If you start thinking seriously about bachelorism, I’m going to assume you’ve just left the movie theater, and then you can see a brand new The world – that’s far more laughter than the latest Kevin-Hart comedy film, can you imagine Renly Hall in the lead?”

“Variety,” 100%, “Cruel and humor coexist in harmony like cutlery in a drawer, Lanthimos injects a touch of horror and horror into the film, and a touch of violence—emotional violence—into the grim images. And physical violence, the film oscillates between humor and horror, and the invisibility of reflection can make goose bumps on the back. Renly-Hall’s performance is reminiscent of his ‘Drunken Country Ballad’. ”

Vanity Fair,” 100%, “Who could have imagined that the biggest surprise in the whole movie was Renly Hall – the actor who created countless peaks once again brought a rare performance, restrained and yet. Delicate, light and profound, and humorous and comical, his performance fits perfectly with the style of the film, and the cool and depressing yet profound imagery magnifies the unique charm of Renly Hall to the extreme.”

“Playlist,” One Hundred, “At the end of the day, those strange, cold, alienated, serious fragments all collide together to create a wonderfully humorous comedy effect, while the thinking about the film itself tumbles. Before, you will be amazed at the beauty and moving of the cast, and the wonderful performance undoubtedly made Lanthimos play a super high level. As for the later reflection, that is what happens after watching the movie.”

“Chicago Tribune” , 100%.” The conversation about Renly Hall seems to be quiet for a moment – because he’s still the best part of the movie, enough to evoke fond memories of Buster Keaton while injecting With his delicate understanding, who can say no to Renly-Hall? The same goes for ‘The Lobster’, it is recommended that every marriage supporter and single person go to the cinema to watch this movie, you can all find yourselves Favorite part.”

Full marks.

Full marks.

Still full marks.

“The Lobster” once again ushered in a full-point frenzy, and the unanimous praise made people deeply feel the brilliance of this film, as if it once again showed Renly’s usual sweeping attitude; however, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com This is just Only part of it. Out of the forty-four positive reviews, only eight got full marks, which is not a high percentage.

In other words, “Lobster” has successfully won the love of film critics, but the overall momentum and reputation are still inferior to “Drunken Country Ballad” and “Boom Drummer”.

Among the thirty-six positive reviews outside the full score, the main scores are all between 80 and 99, and there are 27 comments; there are 9 comments gathered in the 60 Scored between seventy-nine points, three of which were lower than seventy points. Although they were praised, the scores were not high.

The score layout can reveal some clues. On the whole, “Lobster” continues the trend and status during the Cannes Film Festival. In the end, the North American media comprehensive evaluation settled at 85 points, which is still considered to be the most worth watching and must-see of the year. Movies watched.

“Maybe it’s not Renly Hall’s best work, but it’s one of Renly’s best to watch.” Drummers”, “Lobster” is indeed more approachable and more acceptable to the general public.

This also means that this year’s awards season will inevitably see Renly again, and Sisyphus Pictures has joined the battle early.
