atypical hollywood life

"The Phantom of the Opera" has received unanimous praise after its release. This music-focused film is not only full of sincerity in the soundtrack of the film, but also in terms of actors. They are all surprising, and the super high word-of-mouth and praise have brought many people who are still waiting and watching into the cinema.

Of course, there are likes and dislikes.Manola Daggis, who is also a film critic of the "New York Times", felt that "The Phantom of the Opera" was boring to watch, "This movie wiped out all the excitement on the stage. The highlights of the musical It lies in the constant change of Kristen's mood. She struggles between Raul and Phantom. This kind of ambiguity is just the reaction of human nature. Christine's moving part. Chris under the lens of Baz Luhrmann Ting and Phantom look like a simple female student and a middle school teacher who has a crush on her, completely losing the essence of the characters. The gorgeous and complicated background of "Phantom of the Opera" is followed by an empty plot, which makes people drowsy."

"Los Angeles Times" leading film critic Kenneth Turan scoffed at Manola Daggis's comments.He is one of the few film critics who recognizes commercial films very much.

"The greatest contribution to this film is not Andrew Weber, the original author who wrote those popular songs, but director Baz Luhrmann." Kenneth Turan said in his column.

"The limited subject matter of the musical "Phantom of the Opera" determines that this is not an easy-to-sell movie, and even if it is not made well, it may become another typical literary film with high performances. The disastrous box office and super high Word-of-mouth would once again make for a money-losing film. But Baz Luhrmann gave the script a scalpel-like twist. He made the film less complicated, with no wobbly heroine, and no stumbling blockbusters. The male protagonist who is too frightened has weakened the suspense of the movie a lot, but at the same time, the steadfast female protagonist and the tragic and sympathetic male protagonist have also made the audience of the movie wider. The whole movie is more like two medieval A knight duels for the favor of a beauty. We can even see the shadows of Romeo and Juliet in this movie. They also encountered obstacles in love, the same couple and the supporting actor who likes the heroine. But The ending of Raul and Christine in "The Phantom of the Opera" is obviously much better than that of Romeo and Juliet. There is no family hatred between them, and the Phantom is not Paris. Compared with the three people who wiped out In the ending, the Phantom finally retreated and went away, and Raul and Christine finally got married. Although the ending is too vulgar, it is enough to remind people of such a heavy era... Overall, this is a very successful film. Commercial film, the actors' acting skills are online, the background is exquisite and attentive, the plot is simple but not weak, it is very worth watching."

Generally speaking, there are more positive reviews than negative reviews for this film. Adapted films are easy to be criticized, and the reputation of "Phantom of the Opera" is quite good.

Probably only a few people can see that Margaret is not so passionate in this movie, but Christine is such a character, you can't expect her to commit suicide because of the phantom blocking her relationship with Raul, That's Juliet not Christine.

After attending the premiere, Margaret rushed back to Sydney without stopping.Anyway, as the heroine, she has to be more professional.

The first scene after returning to Sydney is Trinity escaping from Smith after being discovered by the police.Margaret put on the black costume speechlessly.Thanks to herself, not only the remuneration was converted into investment, which reduced a large part of the crew's expenses, but also used a lot of saliva to persuade Tom Ford and Alessandro Michele, and finally got them to agree to sponsor "The Matrix".In addition, thanks to the Oscar queen's title, the original plan to find a model to play Trinity's weakened role in order to save money was added back.So this time her clothes finally didn't look so cheap.

In addition, her shoes have also been changed from the original high heels to low heels similar to the actor's.With such a face controlling the scene, the movie no longer needs to use other means to attract the audience's attention.I have to say that this made Margaret's role much smoother. Of course, she can wear high heels, and even run fast in three-inch strappy sandals, but this does not mean that she will not be tired if she wears them this way.Now that the director has changed the setting, she is of course optimistic.

As soon as the director shouted, Margaret entered the state, and the shooting of several shots went very smoothly, until the classic 360° kicking in the air began to be shot.

For the first time in her life, Margaret felt that her poor old waist was about to be strangled. This is not a Chinese martial arts film, and it can be worn thickly. "The Matrix" is a science fiction film. Moreover, the director also accepted the sponsorship of fashion brands for the issue of filming funds. The sponsoring brands were brought by Marguerite, Givenchy and Gucci.

Yes, it is Gucci, this old luxury brand finally fell into Marguerite's bowl after nearly two years of lawsuits, 'Azure Deep Sea' has achieved a controlling stake in it, and since then no one can put Margaret Greet was kicked out of this group, gratifying.

And as a good boss who knew that "The Matrix" was going to be popular, how could he miss this opportunity?You must seek benefits for your own brand.Anyway, the costumes in this film really don’t cost a lot of money. They spent more than this when they sponsored Tom’s awards, and even less than those films about art sponsored by other luxury brands.

Therefore, designers from Givenchy and Gucci were added to the costume team of the "Matrix" crew, making the costumes of the hero and heroine of this film as cool and fashionable as walking on the catwalk.But this also caused a problem. In order to make Margaret and Kiki look better visually, the material of their clothes is not thick, which makes Shangwei more miserable.Especially Margaret, who was filming the scene of hanging Wia for the first time, NG three or four times before passing the camera with the help of the martial arts instructor. This is thanks to her playing a character with no expression, otherwise she really I really doubt whether I can make an expression in line with the acting skills of an Oscar queen in such a painful situation.

In any case, Margaret still has a good foundation. She practiced boxing and dance before, and she hasn't given up even now.Although it was a little hard at the beginning, it got better after entering the state.But compared to her, Kiki is much worse.

Because this film involves two aspects of virtual reality and reality, the shooting is basically separated.Otherwise, let’s just say that Gino Reeves’ hair problem can’t be solved. In the mother’s womb, Neo has a back hair, while Zion in reality has a round inch. No matter how convenient the wig is, it’s not real. The hair is natural, and for the effect of the film, segmented shooting is the best.

And most of the scenes in the virtual world are related to fighting. Kino Reeves once laughed at himself as an old arm and old leg, and in a way it is true.Even after rigorous martial arts training, it is impossible for him to become a martial artist in such a short period of time. The movements he swings are still limp and powerless, requiring a dismantling action and shooting of dismantling actions. These are not considered What's the matter, at most a few falls, minor injuries, and a little more time, this film has reserved a long time for shooting because of the many action scenes, otherwise it will be a routine In the case of American action, the filming was completed in less than three months.

The main difficulty lies in hanging wire.To be honest, Kiki is not incapable of suffering. When he was filming "Speed", he was almost concussed by the explosion scene.But this time it's really different, the thin steel wire is hanging on his body, it feels like it's going to be strangled into the flesh, and his sense of balance is far worse than Margaret's, which leads to the need to hang There were frequent situations in the scenes I was acting, and I kept NGing.

Regarding this point, Margaret had no way to help him, so she could only kindly help him with some safflower oil and medicinal wine for bruises.Thanks to the ancestors, Chinatowns have blossomed almost all over the world, especially in those big cities, and Sydney is no exception.Margaret went to Chinatown in advance to stock up a large amount of medicine during her break.Every actor in the crew who needed to hang Wia received a gift from her, which really benefited mankind.

"Meg, are you really sure this thing will work?" Kiki lay naked on the bed, showing her bruised and purple back, watching Margaret's toothache.Fortunately, the number of times I NG is relatively small, otherwise I have to be like him.How painful that is!She couldn't help shivering.

"I'm sure, after Andrea painted it on me, I feel much better. My flesh doesn't hurt so much anymore. I dare to wear close-fitting clothes now. I can only wear big tops after I started hanging Wia two days ago. Big T-shirts in two or three sizes. It just smells a bit harsh, if you can't stand it, just wear a mask.

While talking, he poured a big puddle of safflower oil on Kiki's back, grabbed the meridian brush on the chair, and frantically brushed at the bruise.No way, Andrea felt sorry for her, so she massaged her with her hands, but Kiki is a man, and her flesh must be much harder than that of a woman. If she did it with bare hands, she doubted that her claws would be destroyed.And the smell of safflower oil is so ecstasy, she puts it on her body as a last resort, she doesn't want to get it on her hands at all, and it can't be washed off, it's so painful to eat.

"I said you can't bring an assistant. Men's hands must be stronger than women's. You don't need to work so hard. I'm tired and you will hurt." Margaret grinned at Kiki while complaining to him with.How convenient it would be to have a male assistant at this time.

"Normally, I don't invite them when I don't need them. I take care of them loosely. When I'm filming, I stay in the hotel provided by the crew. They have all kinds of services. When I'm not filming, I live in Chateau Marmont. The service there is so good. You just need to make a call and someone will be there for you. Well, it's so convenient, there's no need to hire an assistant at all. Besides, who knows that this kind of situation will happen when making this movie, I might as well go to a masseuse instead of an assistant."

Kiki "enjoyed" Margaret's tricky hands while talking to her with a distorted face.This safflower oil is really useful. Although it was scorched by the brush Meg used, it doesn't seem to hurt that much anymore?

"I think you're just lazy. You think about the convenience of staying in a hotel every day. Does it feel like you're living with your mother when someone cleans up for you?" Margaret felt speechless for this guy whose life was extremely loose.To put it bluntly, don’t you need to clean up everything yourself?When he is thirsty, someone will deliver water, when he is hungry, someone will deliver food, and when the room is dirty, there will be room service, so all he has to do is brush his teeth, wash his face and take a bath.It has completely reached the highest state of lazy life.

"It's really similar to your description." Kiki, who is also not thin-skinned, thought about it and nodded in agreement with Margaret.
