Hollywood Road

When James Franco appeared on the stage, many people were fascinated by the crazy scene. He was dressed in a black dress that was nothing more than an ordinary magician, and his face was as clean as a sunny boy, with magnetism. His voice sounded like a kind and kind elder, but what he said and what he did all showed that there was an extremely evil soul hidden inside this very ordinary shell!

This strong contrast between the outside and the inside brings a great shock to people.

After so many years of hard work as a director, Murphy knows how to perfectly integrate the role of magician with James Franco himself. A unique weirdo, the setting of the magician is based on his realistic personality, so from the very beginning, James Franco was the only candidate for this role.

Murphy never considered anyone else for the Magician role.

This role has been recognized by movie fans without any suspense. Not to mention ordinary movie fans, many film critics in the premiere venue all gave James Franco a nod.

"In my impression, James Franco's acting skills are not among the best in Hollywood."

Kenneth Turan lowered his voice, and said to his old friend Todd McCarthy who was sitting next to him, "I didn't expect his performance to be so brilliant this time, far surpassing the time he played James Dean, just looking at this role , has reached the best level of Daniel Day-Lewis."

"Well." Todd McCarthy fully agrees with Kenneth Turan's statement, "This is all thanks to Murphy Stanton. The role of the magician is well set, and the contrast is often easy for an actor to shine!"

The magician has robbed the money of the gangsters and has the economic foundation to realize his philosophy in New York City. Just like "City of Chaos" and the real society, there are always policemen who fall before the money. Jay-Rachel United Rhys-Dane and Detective Lynch are ready to carry out a thorough sweep of the dark forces in New York City.

In a scene, Murphy focused on Inspector Lynch's assistant. Her mother was hospitalized with a serious illness and lacked funds for treatment.

The pace of the film is very fast. In addition to the necessary plot development, Murphy will not ignore the action scenes that fans value. These are an important weapon to attract fans.

In the VIP room in Los Angeles, Leonardo DiCaprio was also concentrating on watching the film. Although he had many differences with Mo before, at this moment he just wanted to watch this film well. From a producer and From the perspective of a film studio owner, there is so much to learn from this film.

Especially the magician, with the deepening of the plot, he made Leonardo DiCaprio feel for the first time that the original villain can also be so brilliant and charming, completely overwhelming the protagonist.

From the glimpse of the bank robbery at the beginning, to the madness of fighting gangsters alone, the magician all shows his unique charm.

Chris Dann almost stole the limelight.

This film is really brilliant, Leonardo DiCaprio and "City of Chaos" are good enough, but this "City of Darkness" has been released to the present, and there is a dark atmosphere everywhere. Serious to the point of suffocation, but exudes charming charm.

"Murphy Stanton brings a completely different crime noir action movie, even different from any previous action movie."

Leonardo - DiCaprio's mind is very rational, very sure of this, the bank robbery, the true and false night crawler, the magician fighting gangsters, Chris Dann's Hong Kong chase, the film has never been Let the audience take a breath, the rhythm is tight like dense drums, driving people's emotions to a higher level.

The actions of Jay Rachel and Chris Dann pushed the gang to a dead end. They hired a magician whom they didn't even know. The magician became a nightmare for the whole New York City. ,

The justice took the earth plane with the car, the police chief was poisoned to death in the office, and the fake night crawler was killed live by the magician...

One after another, people who upheld New York law died under the magician's butcher's knife.

The magician deliberately left a message announcing that if the night walker didn't take off his mask publicly, the killing would continue without stopping. Even Jay Rachel and her congressman's father were on the magician's death list.

"This is the real NB character!"

Seeing the magician on the screen made the whole of New York panic, Daisy was intoxicated, "This...is my idol!"

Compared to the magician, the villains in the past movies are simply weak!

Magicians are crazy, without any bottom line and guidelines. Chris Dann has his own bottom line and is restricted by the magician everywhere. Facing the death threat of the magician, the citizens who once regarded the Dark Night Walker as the hope of New York, Howard Without hesitation, he asked the night walker to stand up, take off that mask, and take on the responsibility he should bear.

In times of crisis, New Yorkers have sold their hopes!

"Human nature!"

"Rolling Stone" professional film critic Peter Truckee shook his head, "This is human nature!"

Although he was shaking his head, he really wanted to run up to Murphy Stanton and give him a thumbs up. Isn't this the best embodiment of human nature? In the real world, when people are threatened, who would not think of themselves first? As for the city's hopes, go to hell.

I don't know why, but many movie fans feel depressed when they see this scene. Chris Dann has paid so much for New York, but in the end New Yorkers don't care about him at all.

Is it worth it to almost lose your life for a group of people who don't care about him at all?

"A pack of white-eyed wolves!" Daisy muttered in her heart, "If it were me, I'd shoot them all with an automatic rifle!"

In the film, Chris Dann faces this difficult choice, and his human nature appears extremely heavy, extremely dark, and extremely depressing at this moment!

This scene is indeed very touching, but the film critic Richard Brody of "The New Yorker" frowned slightly. He has become a habit of picking thorns from one film to another in the past. At this time, he unconsciously came up with an idea, Is there no bright side to human nature?

He shook his head, Murphy Stanton sees human nature too darkly!

On screen, Chris Dane meets Jay Rachel in his penthouse, and the two devise what they consider to be a well-established strategy against the magician.

At the convened press conference, Jay Rachel announced that the Nightwalker would reveal his identity on the spot. A male assistant prosecutor stepped forward and was arrested by the police. In a prison, the magician who has been intriguing all this time appeared.

A fiery car chase broke out!

On the big screen, the magician began to hunt down the assistant prosecutor pretending to be Chris Dann, and it seemed that the climax of the film was about to begin.

In the IMAX theater in Los Angeles, when Vin Diesel saw the car chase scene, he found that the screen seemed to have changed. Amid the deafening sound effects, the picture became more impactful, as if all this was like He stood on the commanding heights and had a panoramic view.

He himself is good at making car chase scenes. Compared with the "Fast and Furious" series, he quickly discovered the difference. Compared with the 3D production of "Fast and Furious 6", the pictures here cover every inch of the huge screen... …

This is the effect of IMAX!

Next to him, Leonardo DiCaprio stared at the screen intently and nodded subconsciously. When IMAX is combined with top directors and commercial films, the effect is simply...shocking!

In nearly 200 IMAX theaters across the United States, many people's eyes are firmly glued to the big screen.

Although it doesn't happen in front of your eyes like the 3D effect of "The Polar Express", the visual impact brought by this action scene made many people's eyes widen, and they couldn't bear to leave the screen for a moment.

"The plot setting and the performance of the magician are wonderful, but the visual effects are equally amazing!"

Inside the New York State Theater, Kenneth Turan, a film critic from the Los Angeles Times, murmured, "The combination of human anxieties and thrilling commercial attributes is absolutely Murphy Stanton's greatest achievement." Good movie!"

Suddenly, there were intermittent voices shouting cool around, and Kenneth Turan's attention returned to the big screen. It turned out that the brand new Nightcrawler superbike was unveiled.

The magician is always crazy. In order to break through Chris Dane's bottom line, he even used himself as a tool, but Chris Dane sticks to the bottom line in his heart, and would rather get hurt himself than break the sticking principles.

Just when the magician was squatting next to the unconscious Chris Dane, trying to remove his mask, Inspector Lynch, who was shot in commemoration of the police chief, appeared, and the magician was arrested...

"Is this the end?"

Justin looked down at his watch. The film had been shown for more than ninety minutes, and the magician had also been captured. It seemed that the film should really be over.

But he always felt that something was missing in this ending.

The plot was soon explained. The magician was deliberately deceived and arrested. He took advantage of the plan of Chris Dan and Jay Rachel, not only successfully escaped from prison, but also took away the leader of the gangster. The accountant also gave Chris Dan a multiple-choice question.

With the help of a police insider, he captures Jay Rachel and her congressman father, leaving Chris Dann only to save one person himself.

Of course Chris Dane is going to save his friend and the bright future of New York City! Even though he knew it meant Jay-Rachel would probably hate herself for it.
