Chapter 269
Still at the forefront is Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times.
The famous film critic, who has always had a sense of controversy, this time the tone is even more caustic: "If the first rule of Fight Club is 'Don't talk about Fight Club', then the appropriate title may be 'Why? Would anyone want to talk'? Honestly, the bloody chaos of this movie is unbelievable, not just anti-capitalist, but anti-social, even anti-God, with empty slogans and yells to fuck off, But it doesn't make any real sense."
“Pain, as an emotion, is a great movie theme, but it’s about bringing us into the emotions and the heart of the characters, not just using the visuals to keep us stuck and deeply disturbed. That’s failure.”
Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly wrote straight up: "If Fincher is to be believed when he says this movie is supposed to be funny, the joke will only be on us."
Andrew Auchhill of online media salon. also expressed his distaste for "Fight Club": "The pace is fast, dazzling, and it seems to be funny, but in the end it is just nonsense."
David Danby of "The New Yorker" also gave a rare negative review: "The film could have protested consumerism and numb modern life with the bondage of human nature and bloody violence, but David Fincher used a The completely outrageous way it all gets messed up... Josie Horton and Edward Norton, for one thing, are creative and admirable."
Even Bob Thomas of the Associated Press wrote: "In any case, this is the ugliest and most inhuman movie since Natural Born Killers!"
Among the multitude of pornography, "Rolling Stone" magazine film critic Peter Travers is like a breath of fresh air.
"I bet some critic wants to know, does the studio that spent nearly $7000 million to make and distribute 'Fight Club' really know what it's talking about, 'anti-capitalism'? 'anti-society'?" Even against God'?"
"In my personal opinion, whatever deities this movie offends, it's at least thoughtful and creative."
"The audacity of the film has left its mark on many of the hottest topics of the moment, but what stands out to me most is its emotional portrayal of loneliness, despair and anger, daring to imagine the disenfranchised and powerless How to make the world fall apart and start over."
"Edward Norton is mesmerizing, Josie Horton is heartbreaking, and together they create a miraculous chemistry that may just be the best actor of this generation." Gerard Butler's The characters are free, fun, crazy..."
"Reject moralization and security. Challenge your prejudices, shake your world, make you laugh in the abyss, and make you cry in the laughter."
"A controversial but uncompromising American classic!"
Compared with Peter Travers' clear-cut praise of "Fight Club" and the passing of Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times, the relatively positive evaluation of this film by a few film critics is much more moderate. .
Mark Safrov of The Austin Chronicles was blunt: "This movie is bound to polarize critics and audiences alike."
Janet Maslin of The New York Times said: "For the first time, David Fincher found a subject bold enough to accommodate his lightning-fast visual complexity and used the style shockingly and effectively, Cruelty has never been so surprising and fun."
J. Hoberman of The Village Voice wrote: "Fight Club is a rare quality movie, terrifically funny, brilliantly acted, and boldly designed, without giving up in its quest to wow audiences Subversive fun."
It received a box office of 1500 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, and won the box office champion of the first weekend without any surprises. The next week fell by 40%.
And, as the leading actress at the box office, the part about Josie Horton is far superior to others.
In the anonymous chat room of the Now Forum——
'A disgusting movie, full of blood and violence, I already regret going to the cinema for it. '
"Is Josie drifting away? Why did she accept this kind of movie... She is all to help Edward Norton get the position?"Movie garbage, actor garbage, modeling garbage! '
'Spraying modeling garbage is over, I think Josie and Gerald's modeling in the movie is cool, although I can't read the movie itself. '
'Oh my god, are you making a mistake, this is the most heartfelt and coolest movie I've seen this year?People who say that movies are bad or don't understand movies either have aesthetic problems or IQ problems. OK? '
'Anyway, everyone at my school loves the movie, Fight Club and its cast are the talk of the town right now, and anyone who hasn't seen it is left behind, not even invited to the party. '
'My friends and I have watched it three times and it's been so much fun discovering new details each time.By the way, I really love the style of this movie! '
'I love Sissy so much!She was so cool in the movie!I want to give her a cigarette! '
"I kind of understand why the big beauty is with Norton. He has a wonderful sense of vulnerability, wanting to hurt him, play with him, destroy him..."
'I didn't mean to say Norton was bad, but who could be more handsome than Neo? '
'Jack is the most handsome! '
'It feels like David Fincher has fallen off the mark this time, "Seven Deadly Sins" is much more classic than "Fight Club", and Pete Paltrow is much more enjoyable than the current combination. '
'A fan of a certain cosmic star blows up the film's vision and box office appeal every time, so, that's it?That's it? '
'I heard that a certain cosmic star brought his own capital to join the group. This wave of losses has led to bankruptcy, right?Ha ha! '
"It's impossible to pay for it. After all, she claims to have billions of movie fans around the world. If one person buys a ticket, she can easily make billions at the box office..."
"I'm so pissed off—" In a student apartment in Jersey City, Sally tapped viciously on the keyboard, "Just wait and see, Fight Club will never fail! I'm going to brush ten Over and over again! Bring friends with you!"
As a student at New York University, Sally, who came to New York from a small southern city, had difficulty adapting to life here at first.
There is no high cost of living, and it is not beautiful and fashionable enough.
Living across the river from Manhattan in Jersey, where she was once derided as "redneck," "nerd," and "garbage dump," it seemed that her efforts to apply to the metropolitan college had only brought her pain.
No, not just pain.
Every dark night, she would rent the video tape and watch it alone, immersing herself in the wonderful world of movies, and her favorite Hollywood actress is Josie Horton, from "Leading the Show" to "The Trap" I watched it no less than ten times, and I didn't even let go of "Life is Beautiful because of You", which she starred in in her early years.
Because for Sally, there are many things in this actress that she desires but can't reach, such as sharp ambition and fearless self-confidence, as well as the loneliness that she doesn't bother to express.
There seemed to be a lot of things in her heart, but her eyes were always clear and firm, as if nothing in this world could defeat her.
For a girl in her early twenties to break out of the fiercely competitive Hollywood, in addition to talent and opportunities, calm emotions and a self-disciplined attitude are also indispensable.
As she once told these movie fans, self-discipline is not a pain, and neither is loneliness. The peak of loneliness is self-sufficiency, and the essence of self-discipline is self-love.
This just helped Sally get out of the confusion and predicament of entering a new life, so Sally loves Josie's charming appearance, and loves her strong heart even more.
The group chat message on TT keeps flashing.
People from Josie Horton's New York Fan Club were making statistics for the group booking activity organized by "Fight Club", and Sally signed up decisively.
She herself has seen the film's premiere, and has accepted the style and story well, because for a long time in the past, she felt that she was in the empty and numb state of the protagonist.
The protagonist uses Fight Club to change everything, and Sally's way is to escape.
She especially likes the final scene of the film, as Rolling Stone's Peter Travers wrote about it, because it's a contemporary classic about loneliness, despair and anger.
Parents may be terrified of it, but for young adults, this movie is crazy and funny, indescribably cool, and has a certain thought and power to it.
So Sally believed that this would definitely not be the beginning of her favorite actress Josie Horton's fall from the altar, but another miracle that she would eventually create!
"Whoever makes this kind of film should get cancer!"
The apartment in West Hollywood was filled with a strong smell of smoke, and the owner of the house was already flying high, sitting on the sofa and roaring.
And the other people in the room didn't give up much, with more or less dazed expressions on their faces.
Wine bottles and all kinds of rubbish were scattered on the table, sofa and the ground. The hostess had long since avoided the recording studio, unable to bear the atmosphere here.
"Hah, Holden doesn't have a dick." The person who spoke had a face resembling the great Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino, oh, no resemblance, he was Quentin himself.
"That's why she is a willful little girl." Another white male who is smoking is not tall, but he has exercised his body very well. "Isn't your new film looking for her, PTA?"
"Come on, Markey. She can't do it now!" The drug addict known as "PTA" is the new Hollywood director Paul Thomas Anderson, who personally invited Josie Horton to star in his new movie "Crazy Wild Love" and had a friendly meeting.
However, when he turned his head, the handsome young director had a completely different face.
"And we all know her ridiculous rules—" the PTA continued loudly, "No contraband on set, no unspoken rules on set, no bullying on set, no... hiccup, she fucking thinks she's California Legislative Council?"
Markie Mark, or rather Mark Wahlberg, lowered his head and smiled, echoing, "I'm afraid this committee doesn't have as much control as her. By the way, I remember that you are all ridiculous NYU alumni?"
