Charlize took a look at this film review and found that the author was Kenneth Turan, who was also a very famous film critic and had always been a supporter of Charlotte's commercial films.

However, in this movie review, he made some complaints about Charlotte.

"Charlotte Booth is definitely a genius when it comes to directing commercial films, especially supernatural, horror and fantasy themes. But I have also seen that when a director of genre films transitions to shooting other themes, he will produce strange things."

"So, from the beginning, I didn't have much hope for this movie."

"And when I heard that Charlotte not only used Charlize Theron as the heroine again, but also directed and starred in it, and acted as the male lead, I became even more convinced that this was actually Charlotte's attempt to please her muse. It’s a fun film shot.”

"Such movies generally don't turn out well. However, my job as a film critic still allowed me to walk into the screening room. Then, I was shocked."

"Limited by cost and subject matter, there are no gorgeous special effects in this movie, but the detail of the shots exceeds Charlotte's previous movies."

"In particular, this is indeed a good story. As a director, Charlotte also tells the story very well. The protagonists of the story, Pat and Tiffany, are attracted to each other in the movie, which also made me involuntarily pay attention to the plot. Come……"

*********

"It seems that Kenneth Turan is very supportive of you as always!"

After reading this movie review, Charlize felt relieved a lot.

"By the way, are there any movie reviews of Thumb Man?"

"Roger Ebert?"

Charlotte thought for a while,

"This old man has always been known for being short and sharp, and it's no different this time."

As he spoke, he handed a newspaper to Charlize.

"Chicago Tribune..."

Charlize knew that this was the home base of "Thumb Man" Roger Ebert.

The girl quickly found the other party’s movie review and started reading it.

"Charlotte Booth's transformation in Silver Linings Playbook is very successful, which once again proves that he is a ambitious director and a good actor by the way."

"This movie tells a love story between two people with mental disorders. It's strange and heartwarming. When watching this movie, I even wondered a few times if this was the same story that Charlotte Booth and Charlize Theron had when they first met. What happened?”

"Of course, we all know that's not possible but for me to think that way speaks volumes about the power of the movie. So, two thumbs up!"

**********

"Compared to others, it is indeed quite short."

Charlize smiled;

"However, since even Thumb Man supports it, at least the film will have a very good reputation among critics, and the audience's reputation according to the questionnaire results is also very good. Does that mean?"

"This movie can really hit the Oscars."

Charlotte interjected.

As for what the box office will be like, he didn't say.

No way, this kind of love movie is not what Charlotte is good at. He can make good films, but he can't predict specific box office results.

He can only wait for specific feedback from the market.

**********

Fortunately, this process is not long.

Because "Silver Linings Playbook" has always had high attendance at screenings and good reviews from audiences and critics, theaters have begun to slightly increase the number of screening screens.

And in this process,

The movie's attendance and audience reputation have never declined much.

This suddenly gave everyone confidence in it.

"It seems that even if Charlotte Booth makes romantic movies casually, she is still very good!"

Akiva Goldsman is also paying close attention to Charlotte's new film because of the pleasant cooperation in "Hell Detective".

Although, like many others, he feels that the nature of Charlotte's movie is too heavy on ticket sales and its box office performance may be mediocre, Akiva is not worried.

There is no way, the production cost of "Silver Linings Playbook" is really not high.

Akiva feels that with Charlotte's level and box office appeal, coupled with Charlize Theron's appearance and popularity, it will be very easy to recoup the cost.

And now it seems that Akiva's view is very correct

Perhaps it is true, as Charlotte said, that she really targeted the genre gap of low-budget romance films at the same time as "Titanic" was released. Even though the scale of the release gradually expanded, the attendance rate of "Silver Linings Playbook" did not decline. sharp.

This allowed the film's total box office to accumulate rapidly, and when the 1998 Oscar nominations were announced, it reached a new level.

Not that the movie received many nominations. After all, compared to "Titanic"'s 14 nominations, "Dark Clouds"'s three nominations are really not that many.

But when it comes to the importance of nominations, none of the three nominations for "Dark Clouds" are weak.

First up, the Best Director nomination

Charlotte has been nominated for this title several times.

Although normally the possibility of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarding the Best Director trophy for a romantic comedy film is not high, it is not hopeless after all.

Secondly, Best Actress

Charlize has been nominated for Best Actress before, but at that time, she was more of an encourager to newcomers, but this time, she really relied on her strength.

This naturally made many fans of the girl very excited.

You know, she is only 23 years old now...

Finally, there’s the Best Actor nomination;

Charlotte's nomination is considered somewhat absurd by many people.

After all, how could this guy who is a director get nominated for Best Actor if he didn’t show his naked body in front of the camera and he didn’t play a role that particularly “embodies humanity”?

People who haven't watched "Silver Linings Playbook" may find it a bit incredible. But after watching it, they had to admit that Charlotte did a good job.

Whether it's the chemical reaction with Tiffany played by Charlize, or Pat's helplessness of losing his job and love and being trapped in his parents' home, or his optimism in the face of difficulties, and the relationship with his family. Charlotte's performance of the relationship between the two is very good.

All the audiences who walked into the cinema out of curiosity about Charlotte's acting skills came out satisfied in the end.

This curiosity is an important factor in pushing up the box office of "Silver Linings Playbook".

And after the Oscar nominations came out, this curiosity has been heightened a lot.

A large number of Charlotte fans came to the theater to see how their favorite director was nominated for Best Actor.

This includes Gianna and Emily. 2k novel reading network
