Chatty Hollywood

Compared with the extremely impactful opening of "The Turn", Emily felt that the opening of "Happy Death Day" seemed to be much gentler.

Of course, that's not to say that the beginning of "Happy Death Day" isn't interesting.

On the contrary, Emily felt that the beginning of this film was very funny——

The heroine Cui woke up from a hangover and found that she was sleeping in a boys' dormitory, and the person who took care of her was a nerdy big boy.

If it were Emily, she would probably first check to see if she was being taken advantage of before deciding whether to thank the other person or give him a punch.

But the heroine Cui is obviously the kind of campus cheerleader-like figure, and the smell of bitch comes to her face. She seems to have decided that the other party has taken advantage of her, and after a while of bossing around, she hurriedly left.

To be honest, Emily would have hated this role if it weren't for the fact that Tsui's actor - well, Emily knows her name is Charlize Theron - was so beautiful.

But now, she just thinks that this girl Cui is cute and evil, and she even thinks that the whole beginning part is very interesting.

"Is this what dad said about appearance being justice?"

Emily recalled her father's teachings.

However, remembering that when her father said this, he was being handcuffed by a policewoman wearing cool clothes and fishnet stockings on her thighs, the little girl felt that this was not a good thing to listen to.

——Well, Emily's father received such treatment not because he had any special hobbies, but simply because he was fished and enforced by the policewoman pretending to be a technical worker.

By the way, Emily's father gave that instruction not to defend himself in front of his daughter so as to maintain a glorious image, but because he fell in love with the policewoman who arrested him.

Thinking that her father might be humiliating himself at the Los Angeles Police Department, the little girl suddenly felt that maybe she shouldn't have asked someone to help him bail him out in the first place.

"However, I didn't expect she was so beautiful!"

Back to the movie itself, as someone who has watched "The Turn" for the second time, Emily certainly knows that Charlize Theron is the heroine in it.

But compared to how she looked disgraced and busy running for her life most of the time in "The Turn", in "Happy Death Day", Charlize has really changed her appearance.

Although Cui's character is full of bitch, it also means that she has the capital to be a bitch. Charlize showed off her beauty this time, which made Emily very surprised.

"Moreover, it's completely different from the character in "Fatal Turn"..."

***********

"It's completely different from the character in "Fatal Turn"!?"

The person who said similar words to Emily was Richard Manson.

As a film critic who pays attention to actors' acting skills, although Richard was optimistic about Charlize Theron, he never thought that she could undergo such earth-shaking changes.

In "Fatal Turn", Charlize's performance relies more on demeanor and micro-expressions, and the emotions he expresses are mostly fear.

This is only natural, after all, "The Turn" is a pure blood horror film. Limited to the type of film, it’s pretty good to be able to do this.

In fact, this was also the reason why Richard Manson was optimistic about Charlize.

However, at the time, Richard felt that Charlize might be more suitable for playing a character with a colder temperament and a more introverted personality.

Especially, after learning that Charlize was a model, Richard believed in his judgment even more——

There's no way around it. Having poor expressions is an occupational disease of models. Eight actors who came from this industry have this problem, and some of them can't even change it in their lifetime.

However, today's "Happy Death Day" gave Richard a surprise.

Here, Charlize plays a romantic school belle-like character. In the typical parlance of campus movies, she is a "Drama Queen"——

“But she behaved very well.

"

——Obviously she is the most annoying type of girl, but she can act in such a way that people are not bored, and instead think she is "bad and cute".

As a film critic who specializes in acting, Richard does not think that this is just a function of appearance.

- That was a common sentiment shared by his nemesis Bonnie Clyde.

"It seems that this girl's acting skills have been greatly improved!"

Richard murmured to himself,

"Is it because her talent is really good, or is it because of the director's training?"

Mr. Film Critic can’t tell.

However, he felt that his internal preview was worth it.

***********

"It's definitely worth it."

Both well-known film critics, Kenneth Turan and Richard Manson have similar views on heroes.

However, he is more inclined to evaluate the director and the entire film.

"Although this time we didn't use the impactful beginning of "Fatal Turn", Charlotte's ability to use the camera to tell stories has improved a lot!"

This is the evaluation given by Kenneth at the beginning.

Of course, this does not mean that the lens language of "Happy Death Day" is so powerful. "It has improved a lot" compared to "Fatal Turn" whose narrative structure is extremely simple.

But even so, it can be seen from the beginning of "Happy Death Day" that as a director, Charlotte's ability to use camera narratives is already above average.

"And my ability to control rhythm has improved a lot."

Compared with "Fatal Turn", which has a very slow beginning, the beginning of "Happy Death Day" is much faster.

The heroine Cui speaks informative lines and quickly shuttles between various scenes——

"The pace is obviously fast, but it doesn't make people feel overwhelmed. It seems that Charlotte's ability to control the camera and rhythm has really improved."

Kenneth continued his evaluation until——

"It's Depp!?"

Kenneth Turan wasn't the only one surprised by Johnny Depp's appearance.

After all, this is an internal preview, and the film studio will not make any big announcements about how many celebrity guest stars there will be - that is something that needs to be done for official promotion.

Therefore, many of his fans were pleasantly surprised when they suddenly saw Johnny Depp on the screen.

Emily is one of them.

"Johnny is still so handsome!"

The little girl's eyes sparkled.

She became a fan of Depp because of "Edward Scissorhands", and now she is very happy to see the role played by the latter suddenly appear.

“It would be great if Winona could star together.”

——Obviously, Emily is also a member of the Depp x Winona party and has been regretting their breakup.

Especially, this feeling is even stronger when seeing the doctor played by Depp seducing the heroine.

——Okay, maybe it’s not accurate to say seduction.

Because it is obvious that the relationship between Depp's character and the heroine is that of a romantic old man and a flirtatious little girl. To put it simply, it is cheating.

"Winona, come and take care of your husband!"

——Although the two have broken up, in the minds of Depp x Winona fans like Emily, this relationship will not change for a while.

Then, the next moment, Emily's wish came true.
