A few days ago, there were heavy melons in the film and television industry.
The third generation of Spider-Man Dutch brother (Tom Holland), announced a one-year retirement.
Among the new generation of Hollywood actors, Dutch brother is undoubtedly the top.
It is also similar to the top of internal entertainment, with its own "black and red" physique.
From appearance to acting skills, there is no lack of ridicule.
Possess top-level resources, but none of them are online except for Spider-Man.
The sentence "Who is Almodóvar" in the interview has become a hot meme spread by fans.
As early as last year, the Dutch brother announced its withdrawal from the Internet.
Because the bad comments on the Internet made his mental condition worrying.
Could it be that this time he was directly scolded to withdraw from the circle?
In fact, Holland was influenced by a recent series.
He said that the exploration of the character made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.
At the same time, taking on the work of a producer also adds additional pressure.
As the series began to air, Holland's statement was also questioned.
Among netizens, some disdained.
I think this is just creating a topic for the new show.
There is also sarcasm.
I think he can't bear the rolling bad reviews of the new drama.
What kind of work broke through the last line of defense of a top stream?
Let's nag today -
"Crowded Room"
The Crowded Room
The look and feel of this play is closely related to the topic and crowded.
The daily life of the protagonist Danny (Dutch brother) is a life that is constantly interfered with by others.
For example, he is hiding in his room at night making out with his girlfriend.
The other woman barged straight in, cutting between the two.
"Can I..."
After a while, he took the man's place and kissed passionately.
Even anti-guest and sent Danny an invitation to a threesome.
Danny stepped aside, his gaze dull, like an outsider.
Even weirder was the girlfriend's reaction the next day.
Hugging and kissing as usual, reminiscing about the amazing experience of last night, looking like nothing happened.
Instead, Danny was confused, remembering that he was confused and passed out.
Sudden amnesia has always haunted Danny.
So that many things that you do unconsciously have to be reminded by others.
He always has two good buddies around him.
From them, Danny learned that he was involved in the drug trade.
They swaggered around campus and were quickly reported.
The Director of Education aggressively demanded a search of Danny's lockers and clothes.
You can rummage through the cabinet, and there is no trace of drugs; Dig out your pocket again, and it's even more clean.
"You can lock it up, apparently I received false information."
The director was ashamed and apologized for his "mistakes".
Danny was stunned - he had clearly hidden marijuana in the cupboard earlier.
Looking at those two good buddies again, I couldn't help but smile playfully.
They heard the wind and preemptively hid the drugs for Danny.
But the question is, there is only one key, how do they open the cabinet?
Under the questioning, the buddy fought as usual haha.
"How many times do you want me to say it, I will magic"
Danny's "divine assist" is not only these two good buddies.
When he is surrounded and beaten by gangsters, a strong man will emerge at the right time.
Fierce, he straightened his chest forward and knocked the gangsters down in an instant.
The gangsters cursed and fled, as if they had seen a monster.
Freak, and Danny receives the most reviews on weekdays.
More and more characters appeared, but none of them had a beginning or end.
Danny is confused, is the screenwriter also confused?
In fact, this is related to the setting of this drama -
Multiple personalities.
The play is a remake of the best-selling novel "24 Billy".
The novel is adapted from real events, a strange case in the 70s.
Billy Milligan, arrested for robbery and rape, was acquitted.
Because he is a multiple personality split, there are as many as 24 personalities living in his body.
Milligan's "Multiple Personality Family"
Danny, played by Dutch brother in the play, is the protagonist.
The so-called "crowded room" is not only his real refuge, but also symbolizes his spiritual world.
Different personalities are crowded in it, competing to dominate the flesh.
When the owner's personality is violated and injured, he will hide.
Other personalities took turns to deal with it, and also committed crimes that the master's personality did not know.
"24 Billy" was once regarded as "a script born for the Oscar".
The suspenseful plot that reverses the twists and turns has built a solid framework for the director.
The rich and changeable character states give the actors space to show their strengths.
"Fatal ID", "Forbidden Island", "Fight Club" and other good films are inspired by this.
"Crowded Room" is also regarded as the Dutch brother's rightful work.
However, the word of mouth after the start of the broadcast was shocking.
Professional film critics shook their heads frequently, and the freshness rating was as low as 8% at one point.
"A bunch of long, boring clichés"
In fact, before the Dutch brother, the male protagonist had the best candidate.
As early as 2015, there was news that the male protagonist of the movie version was tentatively set as Xiao Lizi.
At that time, he had not yet finished the long run with the little golden man.
Fans played terriers while building momentum and watching.
"Crowded Room" is regarded as an award-winning masterpiece, and it is quite popular.
Unfortunately, there has been no real progress in this version.
But the performances of the predecessors in many similar themes are also enough for the Dutch brother to copy the homework.
For example, Xiao Lizi's performance in "Forbidden Island".
The same character with a personality disorder is also on the verge of collapse.
The look in the corner of his eyes changed, and with a few movements at hand, the state of the struggling character was there.
Although he is always ridiculed as a "roaring actor", his grasp of subtle expressions is equally wonderful.
When he learned that his wife had drowned three children, his face flashed with resentment, grief, and helplessness.
One shot, three layers of emotion.
Another example is Norton in "Fight Club".
The same fragile and decadent loser is more than just playing the word "scolding".
In the gloom with a bit of warmth.
As a top student in Hollywood, Holland's performance this time has the meaning of facing difficulties.
So, as soon as the series started, fans praised it wildly.
"Groundbreaking Extraordinary Performance"
But Uncle Yu watched four episodes, but he was like a catfish in his throat.
It's like witnessing a Hollywood actor downgrade.
Danny in the play is always a wandering expression.
In the face of the officer's questioning, he narrated unhurriedly like a bystander.
As the memories deepened, the officers' pressings continued to touch their stimulating points.
Danny finally broke the dullness and was unusually out of control.
Here is an emotional rift in the plot, which should have changed the rhythm of the plot and even created a reversal.
However, the Dutch brother's response was catastrophic.
There was no body movement, and the eyes did not change.
The only difference is that you raise your voice and open your mouth wider.
Looking at the whole drama, the best acting is pity and grievance.
When he was scolded and bullied by his stepfather, and when he was rejected by his favorite girl, the Dutch brother showed what he should have.
But that's about it.
Of course, Uncle Yu is not trying to belittle the Dutch brother to nothing.
No matter how vigorous young people are, they also have to go through a long process of transformation.
"Crowded Room" was well received, but it was also his first step out of the "room".
And it's not just the Dutch brother who is trapped in the room.
The same is true of the top of domestic entertainment.
The praise of the rice circle, the industry's false fame and fortune, is like the noisy human voice in the room.
But how many top people have the guts to walk out of this room?
Of course, the fight of the work cannot be attributed to the actors.
Also downgraded is the level of the play.
What makes "24 Billy" fascinating is that it shows every living personality.
There are good gentlemen here, and there are jailbreak masters.
Eyes, accents, strength, and even gender switch in a very short time.
"Crowded Room" chose the worst way to present it.
In the third episode, Danny's enemies come to take revenge.
The weak master is powerless to resist, causing his girlfriend to fall into trouble.
At the moment of crisis, the strong man's personality made a move, and instantly killed the enemy.
After the matter was gone, leaving his girlfriend in shock.
"You're safe now."
In the next second, the master personality returns.
The sudden soft whisper, which made his girlfriend's hair straight, also confused the audience.
It should have been an instant switch of acting explosion moments, but it became blunt and deliberate.
Such a setting, let alone the Dutch brother, even if Nicholson comes blind.
It is worth mentioning that the screenwriter of this play, Aziva Goldsman, won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for "A Beautiful Mind".
That film also has a split personality as a high concept.
In "Crowded Room", many shadows of the former can be seen.
Even, there is a bridge of copying and copying.
But after 22 years, similar routines are no longer new.
What's more, the brilliance of "A Beautiful Mind" is not all in the form, but in the core.
Peeling back the illusion of chaotic and broken personality is a sincere love that foams at each other.
The screenwriter holds the world's most well-known multi-personality IP, but he is blinding.
Until the end of the fourth episode, the suspense was released reluctantly.
As everyone knows, the personality is really humanized, Du Qifeng has already played it in "Detective".
The practice of hiding and locking is far less advanced than the latter's opening meaning.
We are always lamenting that film and television are downgraded, and there are few classics.
Deep down, I hope to return to the so-called golden age.
However, repeated over and over again will fall into the trap.
In fact, there's a lot more to dig into about Billy.
Including reflection on the conscience of the media.
Multiple personalities, once glorified and hyped, became a popular imitation boom.
So, there was an absurd scene -
In the serial rape case, Billy, as the perpetrator, became an idol to be worshipped.
Since you choose to recreate an old case more than forty years ago, you should have more expectations.
Or, come up with refreshing audiovisual techniques.
Or, throw out very insightful values.
Unfortunately, "Crowded Room" does neither.
Film is a medium that constantly innovates through reflexivity.
Banal repetition is undoubtedly pathetic.
