Best Actor

Vol 2 Chapter 294: after the show

    "It won't be Scorsese's best work, but it's still a film to watch, and at nearly three hours, 'The Aviator' uses a magnificent chapter Proof that Howard Hughes was once brilliant. Scorsese fully demonstrates the time that Hollywood once had in this film, those retro scenes are immersive, of course, more importantly, Hughes' life .

    We all know that Hughes is a great legend, the Spruce Goose still holds the record for the aircraft with the largest wingspan, and before Hughes started it, no one thought that this giant aircraft was He's a genius, a billionaire and a **** who can fly into the sky. Scorsese doesn't shy away from this in the film, but he brings out the most important moments of Hughes' life—or rather, the first half of his life before he swooped into Las Vegas. The amazing "Hell's Angels" in that era, the relationship with Katharine Hepburn and Ava Gardner, the manufacture of aircraft test aircraft and the crash, of course, the test flight of the spruce goose.

     Scorsese uses his best lens language to construct a fascinating picture, which makes people praise Hughes' indelible dream. "

    —Newsweek famous film critic David Anson.

    "It's definitely a huge creative film, and maybe in some people's eyes, it's a little bit disconnected from the story, but Scorsese does a good job of connecting the details and showing the A vivid story.

    The biggest surprise is Sean Tang. Before that, almost no one thought that he could play this role well, the greatest aviator in American history, although he has played the role of Few characters who are beyond their actual age. But this time, most people are wrong. Sean's performance is very wonderful. Whether it is a 20-year-old **** or a 40-year-old airplane tycoon, he has accurately captured the characteristics - of course, for the image of the **** , he still has to be better.

    You can see Hughes' passion, Hughes' dreams, Hughes' obsessive-compulsive disorder and Hughes' feelings and desire for control in the movie, you don't think about it when you watch it, Sean · Don played so well, you would only naturally think that this is Howard Hughes. Sean showed the soul of Hughes, especially in the one-man show before the hearing, Hughes' torment and pain were completely displayed in front of people, making people unable to ignore the high-spirited aviation man decades ago. Entrepreneurs are sympathetic.

    This is a great film with a great director, great producers and great actors. "

    —Stephen Hunter, Washington Post commentator.

    "This movie is more like a loose tabloid, Scorsese has the camera in the right hands, but most of the time it's about Hughes' private life. I think audiences are more likely to watch , how Hughes went from being a young buddy to being a famous aviator, how to design an airplane and challenge it to finally take it to the sky—yes, like the last spruce goose.

    Of course, this is not to say that Hughes' private life is not important, biopic films need to show a person's life in all aspects. In fact, Cate Blanchett's Katharine Hepburn is the film's biggest highlight, almost blending in with the retro style and capturing exactly what Katherine should be.

    As for Sean Tang, I can't say he did a bad job. In fact, he did well in some places. The scene of the obsessive-compulsive disorder one-man show was very surprising. Even more surprising. But in this movie, except for a few amazing performances, such as the playboy's style at the beginning, or the infatuation when the new plane came out, most of the time he can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, reading the prescribed lines, acting with a prescribed emotion.

    In general, this is a good work, Scorsese through the description of a character's life, let us once again recall that thriving and magnificent era. "

    —Screenwriter Jay Rabin.

    "The mediocre work, Scorsese has lost his former vigor and began to please the public. The plot of the film is lackluster and tedious. If there is still a bright spot in Cate Blanchett's performance If so, then Sean Tang's performance is a disaster, and when he's on the screen, people just want him to go away."

    —Independent commentator Simon Hartman.

    The second day after the release of "The Aviator", various reports flooded out, and it continued until the 2005 New Year. Although only the first two days were the headlines on the entertainment page, it still occupied a very important column at other times, whether it was print media or online media.

    This shows how famous Scorsese is - of course, there are also Sean and two Kate, whether Sean or Cate Blanchett or Kate Beckinsale, now They are all first-line stars, and with one of the four major directors in the 1980s, the lineup of "The Aviator" can be considered luxurious.

    What's more, there are also old actors such as Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe, as well as famous actors and singers such as Jude Law and Gwen Stefani. treatment is normal.

    Most of the comments were positive, although the emphasis was different, with Scorsese doing a good job, Cate Blanchett, and Sean Tang Surprising. But in general, they all thought The Aviator was brilliant, and in their own way gave high marks.

    A small number of comments put forward a lot of criticism, and there are several situations, such as relatively fair, on a case-by-case basis, some affirmative and some negative. There are also outright denials and chasing someone for bashing, like the last comment listed above.

    As for some of the more bizarre ones, I like this movie, but ridicule a certain actor, so far. After all, the easiest person to do this is Sean, and Sean is the first actor who does his part, and 90% of the shots revolve around him. If you hate him, you can't like this movie. movie, so let's just criticize it together.

    However, it is interesting that no matter how harshly these people criticize, they basically did not mention Sean's age. Well, it's not accurate to say that. Those tabloids who like to make a fuss still take this masterpiece and say that he can't perform that kind of gesture that needs years of precipitation, but the criticism that really has something to say doesn't say this. thing.

    In other words, no matter how reluctantly, most people have to admit that Sean is the kind of character who can play the kind of temperament, demeanor and image beyond his age.

    "In the future, I can choose some older characters, and I don't necessarily need to play lunatic, mentally retarded or neurotic." In Frederick's office, Sean was slightly smug. said.

    He was indeed delighted, and the fears at the premiere proved to be completely unnecessary, and although the one-man show was not rated by the audience, most of the reviews affirmed his performance.

    "Sean fully integrates into Hughes in this one-man show, making people see a tycoon image with a huge torment and insecurity inside, who can't control no matter how much adventure he takes." Roger Albert is so commented.

    So, after the new year, when he came to Frederick's office to discuss what his next goals should be, Sean had the above words.

    No accident, the agent covered his face with his hands, looking at that, if Sean continued, he might cry.

    "Don't be like this, Fred, isn't there "Batman: The Hour of War" this year?" Sean, who knew how depressed he was, said comfortingly.

    "When the movie comes out, it will be too late." Frederick rolled his eyes.

    "Unless it fails at the box office," Sean cautioned, "but I don't think so."

    "Can't you see it, Sean," Sanders, who came along with him, shrugged at this time, "He's a real pessimist."

    "I'm not a pessimist, Sandy," Frederick retorted immediately, "I think you, as Sean's agent, should understand the importance of being ready at all times. sex."

    "Okay, guys, don't do this, no matter what the topic is, it can be discussed." Sean was busy making a sound before Sanders spoke to prevent the situation from escalating.

    This situation had already occurred when Sanders was an assistant, and it was gradually eased under the mediation of Sean, but when Sanders became his agent and After slowly forming a team, this contradiction began to appear again, and every time the two met, they had to pick on each other. Just like now, Frederick's worry is understandable. When the movie is released, if the box office is bad, it will affect the actor's worth, especially those commercial productions, so while the movie is hotly promoted and generally favored by public opinion, and Big studios negotiate a new script, and even if there is a bad box office situation, there is still a chance to turn around.

    So Frederick was talking about this before the official release of "The Aviator", but now he just brought it up again, although the box office of the movie is still good, by mid-January the total box office has already There are 50 million - at the time of the release, the distributor only arranged 40 theaters, and it slowly increased to 1800 in the second week, and it has not exceeded 2000 so far. The box office of 50 million in five weeks is not bad, after all It is a literary and artistic film, which cannot be compared with commercial masterpieces.

    But this does not prevent Frederick from taking advantage of the title. I hope Sean will read a few more scripts and try to get a good role before the release of the Batman prequel that has been scheduled for this summer.

    "I know you're busy, Sean, you're going to events, promoting and maintaining your image," Frederick said, taking a look at Sanders, "but , what needs to be done is still to be done.”

    Well, after Sanders became an agent, he took away a lot of his power, and he took the initiative to do so. The image packaging of Sean is now the responsibility of Sanders' team , Frederick is understandably upset. However, Sanders is Sean's best friend after all, so no matter what, you have to be a little bit biased, and you can only aggrieve Frederick for the time being.

    However, before Sean had time to comfort him, a cold, gnashing voice came from the door: "Can you come out, Sean?"
