atypical hollywood life

The movie has come to an end, Juliet's expression suddenly calmed down, she stopped crying, her eyes were a little empty, and she seemed to be recalling the good times spent with Romeo.Along with the extinguished candle, the light in her eyes was also extinguished little by little, and gradually became dead silent. There was nothing in the world that she could miss anymore.Bowing down, Juliet gave Romeo the last kiss, bursting into tears with a beautiful smile, and ended her life with a gun.

Baz Luhrmann must have loved Margaret Jane.Roger Ebert thought as he sat in his chair.He photographed Juliet so beautifully and sadly, showing the girl's beauty from various angles. Although some close-ups are unnecessary, Juliet really conquered the audience.

Roger Ebert's thinking went back to his boyhood more than 30 years ago. He ran to the cinema with his friends to watch Marilyn Monroe's movie. He marveled at the completely innocent baby in Marilyn. She is so vivid and pure, to collect everything about her, and even went to remote theaters to watch movies that have been released for several years.

He is obsessed with Marilyn's amorous feelings, that face, which is over 20 years old and close to 30 years old, even has a little baby fat when it smiles. The perfect face shape makes her all kinds of actions unbelievably beautiful, whether it is looking squarely, The side view is still avoided by countless female stars and looks up. There are 360 ​​degrees of no dead ends on her body. Even if she makes all kinds of exaggerated expressions, she is perfect. She is like a spotlight. Everyone is watching her. Overshadowed by the front.

Many people say that Monroe has no acting skills, but he thinks that Monroe's acting skills are completely buried. He still remembers the poignant feeling when Marilyn burst into tears in "No Knocking", like fragments of stars rolled out of her eyes.There is also the loss in "You Long Xi Feng", when he was young, he couldn't figure out why the irritable and irritable regent would give up this beautiful and intelligent woman. In this world, he may never find someone who loves him so much people.

In fact, Margaret can’t find much of her grandmother’s shadow. She only has a round nose and slightly drooping corners of her eyes like Marilyn, and perhaps the same 360-degree beauty with no dead ends.But when she laughed, she had Marilyn's unique innocence and vivacity.The round nose softens her lines, and the slightly drooping corners of her eyes give her a sense of innocence and cuteness, but also with a strange style. This kind of eyes can be easily transformed into charming with enchanting eye makeup. Sexy, like Marilyn, sexy for granted.

Watching this girl squinting her eyes and laughing on the big screen is like returning to his boyhood, how carefree and happy it was at that time, and there always seems to be something that can't be explored in life.Now he is very old, and Marilyn has long since passed away, leaving only the offspring with her smile...

Roger Ebert couldn't help but laugh, he was really old, and he actually started to recall the past.

"She has such beauty, she doesn't need to have such acting skills at all; she has such acting skills, she doesn't need to have such beauty at all"

After watching five episodes of "Romeo and Juliet," Roger Ebert published a film review with this title in his column in the Chicago Sun-Times.He praised Margaret by citing the words that the Oscar judges praised Vivien Leigh.

"...She is so beautiful that people are intoxicated, but the ending is heartbreaking. People will be attracted by her beauty at first glance, so that they have no time to consider her acting skills for a moment, but after watching you will be attracted by her superb acting skills Not even her stunning looks can make her acting skills inferior, and in the movie "Romeo and Juliet", Margaret Jane's beauty and acting skills exploded at the same time, contributing a wonderful performance."

"When you first watch this movie, you will feel that she is like Audrey Hepburn when she was young. Her performance in "Roman Holiday" combines her own temperament and characteristics, and perfectly interprets the role of Princess Anne. This is A kind of sympathetic effect under which the character and the actor are extremely compatible. But if you have seen "Interview with the Vampire", then you will not feel this way again. In this thrilling vampire movie, the 11-year-old Margaret Jane delivered a performance beyond her years, let's say 11 years old with a 35-year-old soul inside. She took a character from the age of innocent little girl to cold and cruel A middle-aged woman with a distorted mind, the wonderful transformation is not unreasonable. In a trance, you will feel that the girl Claudia on the big screen is real. Comparing the two, we can find this The girl's acting skills make people tremble!"

"It's not clear how she can go from perfectly portraying a murderous vampire who's psychologically mature and twisted to being such a sweet yet pathetic ingénue, the only thing that is known is that her interpretation is so different. , it is completely impossible to associate her in the two films. She contributed an Oscar-level performance for us!"

"..."

In Roger Ebert's film review, Margaret almost stepped into the sky.However, in this era when actresses are scarce, Margaret is indeed good enough.

After the post-golden age has passed, Hollywood actresses seem to have fallen into a strange circle. Good acting skills do not have the kind of "dazzling" beauty that shocks heaven and man at first sight. choice to divert the audience's attention from her beauty to her acting skills.Almost no one can take care of both. It can be said that one generation is not as good as the other.

Although Margaret's birth was not shocking the world, it was enough to shock Hollywood.As Roger Ebert said, she is cold and arrogant when she is not smiling, noble and graceful when she smiles, sweet and down-to-earth when she laughs, and she can play a mature metamorphosis in terms of acting skills, She can also act as an innocent and lovely girl.This kind of role with a huge gap makes people realize that this is not a real performance but an extremely superb acting skill.

When the Internet was not popular in the 90s, film critics' articles and Oscar awards were the best channels for most American people to choose to watch movies, especially Roger Ebert, the Pulitzer Prize winner who reached the top in the United States , His film reviews can almost influence the choices of most people who plan to go to the cinema.

Therefore, after a week of release, the box office of "Romeo and Juliet" ushered in a rise. Compared with the situation where most movies will decline in the box office after the first week and gradually reduce the number of theaters for release, the trend of this movie It is quite unscientific. After Saturday, Sunday and four working days, the box office ushered in a weird improvement, which made the distribution department of [-]th Century Fox a little confused.

Because during the period when "Romeo and Juliet" was released at the end of the year, there were not only fully rated family movies like "101 Dalmatians" produced by Disney and national sports movies like "Space Jam", but also "Space Jam". Commercial blockbusters such as Ransom Storm and Into the Deadly Island, and most importantly, Margaret's good bear friend Mr. Cruise's "Mr. Sweetheart" also stepped in during this time of various blockbuster melees.

Come on, this is a superstar who can turn the box office of a literary film into a commercial film just by using his face. "Mr. Sweetheart" made waves during the awards season, and among such a bunch of films, it was able to achieve a counterattack at the box office. This is simply not normal, okay?

After overtime work and various researches, the distribution department of [-]th Century Fox finally came to a conclusion that the reason for the increase in the box office of "Romeo and Juliet" was the weird reviews of film critics in the media. Walking into the cinema, even the obscure old-fashioned Shakespeare lines did not stop their determination to finish the movie.Moreover, the audience of this film is very extreme. Most of the viewers are elderly people and adolescent children, and some of them are women. There are not many office worker men who most films are fighting for.The distribution department of Twentieth Century Fox is in the dark.Where is this going?

It is understandable for the elderly to see, because their age is destined to be better understood by those senior film critics, and the precipitation of age can also allow them to calm down and appreciate Shakespeare-style love.It is also understandable for women to watch them. After all, Leonardo DiCaprio has indeed made a name for himself in the past two years. He is also really handsome. It is normal to attract female audiences.

But what about adolescents?Aren't children of this age in rebellious and restless adolescence?Who would calm down to watch Shakespeare's agonizing love tragedies? Are blockbuster action movies like "Into the Deadly Island" their favorite?Besides, it's not that they like to belittle the education level of the American people, but the British-style Yangchun Baixue is really not the love of the American people, let alone the adolescents. Do they know that Shakespeare's work is still talking about it? The age of watching movies really makes people don't know what to say.

And those middle-class white-collar workers in the United States, this part is the box office concentration age they want to fight for, okay?Isn't this kind of literary film that can show their taste their favorite?Why is their number the least?

wrong!The personnel in the distribution department suddenly realized that the number of movie viewers of this group of people is not large, and the reason why it appears to be small is that there are too many moviegoers of other ages, which exceeds their expectations.So what is the problem?

But now they have no time to think about what went wrong with the movie.If you ask the distribution department of a film company, what should you do if a movie hits the box office in its first week?They will tell you categorically, add theaters!Add theaters up!Contact all cinemas that can be contacted, and ask them to increase the number of films scheduled, squeeze more box office, sell more peripherals, and achieve more profits!

All of a sudden, the distribution department of Twentieth Century Fox was in a frenzy, and the phone rang one after another in the office. , this side just hung up, and the other side was picked up again. The staff kept counting all kinds of data and shuttled quickly between the offices. The sudden work completely disrupted their hands and feet and work plans. Box office, all for more money!
