Users review: Well, I really wanted to like this. On paper, this is perfect. Writer / director Paul Thomas Anderson, the cast headed by Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. What could go wrong? The script. If a movie does not start with a good script, turn right slope. And it is not. There is no crest to this story. And there is no end. And 'is more than two hours. The actors give great performances and scenes are well constructed. Joaquin Phoenix has moments that are tragic. And then the film just continues to plod along. I'm fine with a film that grows slowly. Im not good with a movie that does not grow, and it is not. This is an alcoholic? No, he is a cult leader? No. Its random times between an alcoholic and a worship leader, tied together, no direction, and no points. You can extract a scene from this movie, and it would be great. Put them together, however, they do not add up to a story. A story must be something. You have to start somewhere and has to go somewhere. This story begins and it goes nowhere. And "although the resolution of a story is simply endless. This film, however, does not determine what the destination. And, therefore, can not just go on forever. He never went anywhere to begin with. The actors are left to spluge all public without visible reason. Im on Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and have been for some time. In this role as a kind of L. Ron Hubbard figure, there are too caricature. For my money, the best Seymour Hoffman is Boogie Nights, Happiness, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Joaquin Phoenix is ​​probably the most talented American actor working today, but his twisted body, repetitive, mentally tortured, alcoholic, Freddie Quell, never had a chance to become re el or sympathetic, or even loose. It is like the rest of the film has disappeared. This actor, Joaquin Phoenix, has the chops to do something. Check it out in Reservation Road, Gladiator, Walk The Line, and his best, Two Lovers. Phoenix in Two Lovers portrays an emotionally crippled man whose life crumbles beyond all expectations (in his eyes), but by an accident of fate finds a way by which to live. There is convincing. There is something you can not do the time. But do not take the opportunity here.Clearly this film tries to comment on sects. We know too, if (Jonestown, Waco, Warren Jeffs) on sects to accept this part of history. Obviously, the main character was an alcoholic. Yet, the film is never explored his agitation, or addiction, how even a dumb show like Celebrity Rehab would. We were almost brought close enough to the story to his care during his first session with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but that has not been developed and eventually went nowhere. Just like the rest of film.There some shocking scenes in this film. But there is no story that justifies. It's like watching a widescreen videos Americas most shocking release - for more than two hours. They are independently compelling, but ultimately irrelevant. And they never resulted in a story of something that I could not wrap my arms around. For me, the ultimate failure of this film is that there was no point to it. This is not an art film. This is an unnecessary film. It's not that I do not like. There is nothing to do. Better to spend your time looking at accidents, TV, alleging cam dashboard. At least you do not expect much to |
