Chapter 1,337 Historical Lessons(2/2)
Isn’t it the responsibility of the drama critic to evaluate the merits and demerits of each film and television work for the audience with a fair and impartial attitude and a professional perspective?
If I kept telling you that director Fukasaku's works are flawless, would you believe me?
On the contrary, as a drama critic, being able to find mistakes and shortcomings in the works of a famous director like Fukasaku Kinji proves that he is a truly courageous and impartial professional.
As for those who only have good things to say about famous directors, I doubt they can see the obvious problems in "The Man on Fire."
I can't say that they follow the trend and can only "read the air". What I worry about is that they are not capable enough.
In any industry, there are people who are not good enough and fish in troubled waters.
If you are not convinced, argue.
Well, just these two drama critics.
One plays a red face, and the other plays a bad face.
One has good words and the other has sharp words.
Not only did the people who accused them become speechless, but on the contrary, it provoked the stupid young people in the drama critic industry.
Peer-to-peer disapproval exists in the drama critic industry as well.
Some people can't stand this, provocation? Then let me judge.
Ever since, several drama critics have carefully watched "The Man on Fire" and each published a review.
refuted the provocateur's views.
They all pointed out that what you said was wrong. Do you understand movies?
Director Fukasaku's mistake in this movie is not about what you said, but something else.
From my point of view, it would be fine if he takes pictures however he wants.
And his last work also had similar problems everywhere.
Are you blind? Go take a closer look.
So a debate began.
The new theater critics want to prove that they are professional critics and are not afraid to criticize famous directors.
And the person who caused the commotion was someone who didn't know how to pretend to understand and was really fishing in troubled waters.
It just needs to be pointed out that no matter which side is trying to find different faults with Kinji Fukasaku's film.
In addition, in variety shows and radio programs, amateur guests continue to fan the flames.
The comments made by a certain drama critic are really accurate. I admire him so much. He is the guiding light for us movie fans.
How come this person has never been famous? I think his comments are more objective and professional than many more famous people.
Well, just like that, public opinion gradually became distorted.
What started as drama critics' motivation to criticize Fukasaku evolved into a "find fault" game centered on Fukasaku Kinji, and became a competition for drama critics to compete for victory.
Think about it, no matter how healthy a person is, he cannot withstand the examination of a dozen doctors with microscopes.
What's more, it's not like Fukasaku Kinji has never offended others. Now that he has the opportunity to add insult to injury, those people won't talk to him and they will quickly seize the opportunity to scold him.
So "The Man on Fire", which was originally of decent quality, was analyzed by a bunch of drama critics and found numerous mistakes that the director should bear.
Although many of them are personal opinions and cannot be specifically judged as right or wrong, it has invisibly reduced the fans' admiration and affirmation of Fukasaku Kinji.
I feel like he is not that powerful anymore, he is just an ordinary person.
So when Fukasaku Kinji returned to Tokyo after his vacation, he was almost dumbfounded. Suddenly he found that countless people were picking on his "Hothouse Man" on the home version to find faults.
Although this increased the popularity of the movie, it actually gave the movie a slight resurgence, earning tens of millions more yen.
But it's obviously too detrimental to his participation in the award chase.
However, there was someone who was more angry than him, and that was Michiko Harada, because she discovered so many media comment articles.
The names of Ayumi Ishida and Keiko Matsumoto are everywhere, but there are actually very few mentions of her.
And the general opinion is that she has no acting skills and will only expose herself.
Some people even lamented that she was the only wrongly chosen actor in this movie, and that she should have chosen someone who matched the roles that Ayumi Ishida and Keiko Matsumoto wanted to play.
Even if the "Queen of Pink Movies" Junko Miyashita is cast, it will be more credible.
How can she survive this?
