How to Write a Movie Review - Zhou Liming on Movies
Watching Movies Magazine published Zhou Liming's How to Write a Movie Review in the 10th Issue of 2004, which is posted here. It's long, so you can pick and choose the passages you like to read, and I hope it's good for everyone's reference, and I hope more friends will write movie reviews. There are typos please forgive me, there is not much time to proofread 。。。。。。。。。
Once a reader asked me this question, I think it is very easy to answer, but also very difficult to answer. It's easy to say how to write a movie review, and I never think there is any N-word policy for writing a movie review: it's hard to say that writing a movie review is a very personal thing like watching a movie, and a lot of things can only be learned by heart. In this article, instead of saying "how to write a movie review", I'd like to say "how I write a movie review".
Writing a movie review, after all, is to put down in words what you feel after watching a movie. As long as you don't fall asleep during the movie, you'll feel something about it: even if you do, it's a reaction that may prove the movie wasn't boring. There is no limit to the length of a movie review (the media will have one); a long review can be ten thousand words, but a short one can be two or three sentences. An English-language movie forum held a one-sentence review contest, and some of the winners actually condensed their reviews into one word. As I recently realized when writing my guide to European and American movies, Western Movie Disks, writing a short review is definitely no easier than a full review.
Of the thousands of teetotaling viewers who post afterthoughts, it's a minority who sit down and turn their thoughts into articles, and even fewer who get picked up by the media. If several influential media outlets coincidentally take a break from using the same style, it gives the impression that this is how movie reviews should be written. For example, in the United States, movie reviews in the mainstream media generally run about 1,000 words. About two-thirds of the article is devoted to describing the plot, and the rest is an evaluation, but there is no fixed formula for the way of evaluation. When I first started writing movie reviews, I was influenced by this, and my writing naturally left this kind of trace, which I don't think is good or bad, it's just a kind of style.
Possibly because our tradition of literary criticism has been suppressed for so long, we don't have as clear a definition of some concepts as the West does, and yet we are very fond of rules and regulations. Let's take "movie review" for example, what does it mean? What does "movie review" mean? In a narrow sense, it means "film review" in English. These articles are written for people who watch movies, not for people who make movies or study movies, and are usually published in mainstream media or fan publications. Roger. Abbott is the only film critic to have won a Pulitzer Prize, but his writing is so shallow and straightforward that it seems like he's pulling out all the stops. He was very prolific, with up to five reviews a week, but they were relatively short, translating to about 700 words. His popularity has made him the most widely read film critic, with more than two hundred newspapers in the United States authorizing reprints, and he also has a weekly television program of half an hour each. The opposite of him, such as Avis Mitchell of the New York Times. Mitchell, who likes to sell his readers on rhetoric, and will not stop until he has them in the clouds, as you can see in my review of Matrix State 2. Pauline. Kyle is probably the most influential American film critic, her anti-film criticism was raised to the level of art, and her reviews were a flagship of American culture from the 60s through the 80s. Her writing is a bit like Zijun's, with a feminine grace, but with very pointed and sometimes mean-spirited views.
The scope of our film criticism seems to be broader, with some very emotional essays and lyrical texts on movies, which in English should be called essays, and some theoretical studies, which are essays, which in English should be called film criticism or film theory. readers who are used to one of these types of reviews are often not accustomed to the other ones Readers accustomed to one of these categories will often be uncomfortable with the others -- those accustomed to essays will dislike the others for their lack of personality; those accustomed to dissertations will naturally feel that the absence of a great deal of jargon and footnotes equals a lack of depth. Of the longer reviews I've written, both Artificial Intelligence and Citizen Kane are over 10,000 words, but the former is actually quite sentimental, while the latter would have been a dissertation, except that I've done my best to avoid the dissertation style. Assuming I used all the terminology I should have used and included the source of every sentence, I suspect that certain academics would have been convinced and the essay would have lost 99% of its readers. That's my limitation, which the media mostly sees as a strength, and universities and institutes see as a "you're still young, you need to work on it" point.
The older generation's reviews used to be a lot like our language classes in primary and secondary school, starting with a paragraph on the backdrop of the times, followed by an outline of the story, the central idea, and finally a specific analysis, etc. As a way of writing, this is not a bad idea. As a method of writing, this is not bad, but it is not the golden rule. I try to avoid this kind of cocoon writing method, afraid of using a form to box themselves to death. Usually, after watching a movie, I think about what I felt most, maybe the story (e.g. The Pianist), maybe the way the story was told (e.g. Mulholland Drive), maybe the performances (e.g. Fatal Woman), maybe the cinematography or the setup (e.g. 400 Years of Sucking Blood), or maybe there was no story, performances, etc., but just a pure feeling (e.g. Reggio's trilogy of life). There's a lot to talk about in a movie, but it's the parts that move you that should be talked about. Filler facetiousness can get your point across, but it won't make a good movie review.
Do critics need knowledge of literary theory? It's certainly good for those who do this for a living to have a theoretical foundation, but between knowing a little bit of theory and not knowing any theory, I'd rather not. When one first gets involved in literary theory (as well as aesthetics and philosophy), it's easy to come to the realization that one knows everything, not realizing that one is only studying one of many schools of theory. Each theory is unique, but when pushed to the extreme, they all become absurd.
For me, it doesn't matter how I write, it doesn't matter if I can write poetry. The important thing is whether what is written has something to say. When it comes to this "substance", there are too many mysteries. Because we grow up in a "unified thinking, unified tone" environment, many readers can not help but look for the same viewpoint as their own. Once they disagree, they will react violently. Gu Xiaobai seldom writes review-type movie reviews, but when he does, it's sure to be a good one, and the same goes for his review of The Two Stooges. Some netizens disagreed with him, which is normal, but this one apparently got his feelings hurt because Gu Xiaobai badmouthed his idol. It's really not necessary, you can express your different opinions as much as you want, no one can monopolize the right to speak in the Internet era; but as long as there is no "highly uniform" policy, there will be different opinions in the world, and this is even more true for the reviews of a movie. If a person can't adapt to the environment of free speech, he'd better avoid it or create a small environment of unified speech himself.
The controversy over "Cell Phone" has shown that there are many moviegoers with this mentality in our country, starting with Cui Yongyuan. As a reviewer of the film, he has committed two major taboos: first, you must have seen the film before you are qualified to comment, otherwise your views are castles in the air; second, you can refute the film in any strong language, and if you feel that it is defamatory, you can resort to legal protection, but for him to imply that the Film Bureau should have banned the film (sic: I don't even understand how the Film Bureau could have allowed him to pass it and still show it across the country) is an extremely harmful to the movie industry. What's even sadder is that a whopping 40% of the people polled by Sina.com agreed with him (or maybe just agreed with some part of his statement.)
Let's reason this out: If Cui were a movie reviewer at the Film Bureau, he would have shot the movie. If any of those 40% of netizens had the power to shoot the film, it would never have come out. So many people are so happy to deprive the public of the right to see a certain movie, while at the same time many people are screaming that there are no good movies to see. Do you think there's a cause and effect relationship? Who can be blamed? When I first saw the results of this survey, I was really saddened: Chinese viewers, we only deserve to have no movies to watch because we move to ban works we don't like. It is conceivable that if this 40% of people can vote against it, there will never be a movie to be released in China, nor a novel, a newspaper, or an article to be published. It is important to know that no movie in the world can get 100% approval and praise, such as a politician who gets 60% of the public's approval, even if it is very popular. If one person can take away the power of choice from everyone, then any form of creation can be put to rest.
Of course Cui only hinted at it, and he's not a movie reviewing official, and he has the right to his own opinion, so we may have overreacted. But this national mentality is a major obstacle to making movies or writing movie reviews. More than a decade ago, the so-called movie reviews were reduced to propaganda to say good things in the circle; nowadays, some people intentionally sing against everyone in order to be appalling, but actually the mentality is the same, both are a kind of pandering. The most important thing in a real movie review is to express one's true feelings. There is no right or wrong way to feel, and there must be opponents of feelings, but there is a difference between reasonable and crooked feelings, between the norm and the peculiar. Pauline. I can't agree with 80% of Kyle's opinions, and I'm sure most people in the movie industry wouldn't agree with her statement about Streep not being able to act below her neck, but she has her own logic. I don't have to agree with her conclusions, but I appreciate her unique perspective.
A critic's true skill is not in being a crowd-pleaser, but in spotting masterpieces that others have overlooked, and no one is going to look at you as a genius for waving the flag for "Lord of the Rings III" when no one else is talking about "The Androgynous Bandit" and saying that it's excellent. (I'm not encouraging people to intentionally sing the opposite tune.) I think a good critic should be brave enough to recommend the leftovers. Introducing The Lord of the Rings is work, but the thrill you get when you realize that a fledgling director leading a cast that doesn't go around eliciting squeals from teenage girls has made a touching piece of work is unparalleled, and it's incumbent upon us to introduce people to such work.
Film Basics
The Impact of Film on Human Life
Three: Perspectives on Film Review Writing
Four: Requirements for Film Review Writing
Film Basics
Film: A Comprehensive and Modern Art Developed by the Combination of Moving Pictures and Slide Projections. Invented in the late 19th century. 1895 December 28, France Louis Lumière brothers in Paris for the first time to the audience screening, so this day is set as the birth of the world's cinema.
Second, the nature of film:
1. as a popular literary style of art appreciation;
2. as a means of realizing profits, expanding the means of reproduction of the commodity;
3. as a carrier of ideology of the instrumental.
Third, the requirements of the film industry: 1. artistic creativity to reflect the power of personality 2. ideology to adapt to the needs of the times and society; 3. to realize the economic value of utilitarianism.
Four, the two major styles of film types:
1. documentary style: from Louis Lumière Brothers screened the "factory gate", "baby soup", "watering the gardener" and other films on the life of the documentary. Emphasizes the true and objective reflection of life as it is.
2. Drama style: originated in the United States with the film on the stage performance of the record, focusing on the scene of prosperity, plot twists and turns, the star effect, the formation of Hollywood-style film style, the creation of feature films have had a significant impact on the film market has become the main style of film. (****March 9, 98 on Titanic and American cinema).
Fifth, the main means of expression of the film:
Montage: the fragmentary footage to be combined, and with sound, to create a special film time and space of the structure of the way.
British Méliès' discovery and exploration. Successful use by American Griffiths in The Birth of a Nation. Soviet filmmakers Sennstein, Pudovkin and others raised montage to theory. "The Kulishov Experiment," in which an expressionless face is connected to images of soup, a coffin village, and a child, produces different effects.
Montage emphasizes the role of editing. There are various methods of expression, such as shot~, sound~, contrast~, parallel~, sound and picture separation, sound and picture counterpoint, and so on. Montage greatly enhances the expressive power of the movie.
Long shot: refers to a longer continuous uninterrupted performance of a motion picture, maintaining the wholeness of the moving picture. This is the French film theorist Bazan opposed to the montage caused by the false and put forward a film leap aesthetic theory. It emphasizes the photographic ontological properties of film and the authenticity of life.
The impact of film on human life
I. The impact of film on real life:
1. Since its creation, it has gradually become the most popular and important style of art (television is only an improvement of the transmission method, and its expression of sound and picture as a means of expression is the same as that of the film), and Lenin said, "For us, among all styles of art, the most important one is that of the art. Lenin said, "For us, of all styles of art, the most important is the cinema." Movies have an important impact on human behavior and lifestyle. The United States now sees six movies per capita per year.
2. The great change to the way of information transmission of human culture has brought mankind into the development stage of film and television culture (information culture). Western scholars believe that human culture has gone through three stages: oral language culture carried by voice, written language culture carried by text, and film and television culture carried by audio and video.
The role of film criticism:
1. Film criticism is a scientific activity, a bridge between the art of film and the audience, and an important means of realizing the triple value of film (artistic, social and economic). While foreign film criticism mainly focuses on box office value, Chinese film criticism focuses on social aspects, forming a unique and broadest wave of mass film criticism in China and a unique landscape of Chinese literary and art criticism.
2. Movie review is an art in itself, which is conducive to the improvement of people's aesthetic ability, thinking ability and writing ability. From the requirements of writing science, the writing of movie reviews requires information processing skills, but also the comprehensive use of narrative, description, argumentation, and lyrical ability. Many people start from the movie review and embark on the path of professional cultural work. Shanghai to adapt to the requirements of quality education, in 97 years in the language of the college entrance examination there is a small essay questions, students are required to write a movie review, the title is "recommended a film and television drama", 15 points, this initiative to make the school set off a movie fever, 97 years of "Wenhui Film Times" and February 11, 98 "Xinmin Evening News" reported on this. Foreign liberal arts universities usually have movie courses. This year, Southeast University launched a campus cultural activity, requiring college students to watch one hundred excellent films and TV movies. Recently, the North Normal University set up a movie theater for college students, combined with the screening of the film to ask experts to give students a lecture review.
Three, the angle of the movie review writing I. Ideas comment:
1. Comment on the theme. Strive to have unique insights, digging deeper. Autumn Harvest Uprising" a piece of most articles that the film reflects the history of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, successfully portrayed the image of Mao Zedong, combined Marxism-Leninism and the practice of the Chinese revolution, take the road of encircling the city from the countryside, and found the direction of the struggle for the Chinese revolution. And I realized, based on Lenin's discourse on leaders and the Central Committee's definition of Mao Zedong Thought, that the film reflected the growth of Mao Zedong as an outstanding revolutionary leader in the midst of the struggle, and also revealed the historical causes and processes of the formation and development of Mao Zedong Thought, and developed the commentary from this new perspective (see Silver Sea Pearls).
2. Comment on the significance of reality. Also related to the theme, but more focused on the role of reality, realistic topics of the film, such as "Kong Fan Sen, I say to you," the review of the party cadres focus on the integrity and love of the people, the review of the "days away from Lei Feng," the "capitalist" focus on the positive significance of the new era of learning Lei Feng. The review of historical films should also look at the reality.
3. Write the aftermath. To contact the reality, into the self, or praise the advanced, criticism of the backward, the needle to disparage the current situation; or self-examination, looking for gaps, incentives and encouragement. Elementary and middle school students of the movie review article belongs to this category. To note that one can not be written as a "story + self-control", the second is to focus on the movie, rather than from the movie to draw a topic, leaving the movie review. Such as commenting on the "Sino-Japanese War" "through the smoke of the Sino-Japanese War" is not to talk about "backwardness beaten", but to fasten the film in the political, economic, military and other aspects of the content, linked to the historical facts, combined with the world's famous naval battles, comparison and association, against the current social ill-treatment to issue an appeal. Commentary on the Nanjing Massacre, "the city of thoughts" around the word "city" to make an article, from the "massacre", "paper city", "undefended city
Two, character commentary.
This is a more general style of review, can be divided into a single character review, the same type of character review, different characters of the comparison of reviews. The four character commentaries on "Carrying Dad to School" included in "Silver Sea Pearl Light" have their own characteristics. Detailed Description and Grandiose Imagery" unfolds a comparative review of Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek. The Snow Lotus Rising in the Artillery Fire grasps the personality traits of Danzhu's image in Red River Valley and makes a deepening commentary from the surface to the inside, layer by layer. In the character review writing, the best to strive not only to analyze the meaning of the character image, but also to combine the method of character building, grasp the unique personality of the character, such as the character's unique behavior, actions, ideals, interests, talents, from which deeper dig out the meaning of the character image, such as the review of "artillery major" of "a lonely fire" to change purely focusing on the passionate praise for the heroes, but more dissolved into the new era of The new era of the intellectuals of the fate of the feelings and thoughts.
Three, aesthetic comments (style, style, aesthetic characteristics, etc.)
1. Artistic style comments. Such as "not Zhuang not harmonious laughter from" combined with the comedy style of the film "A party B party" to start commenting; "screen surging documentary tide" from the documentary aesthetic characteristics of the analysis of the reasons for the success of the excellent documentary film; "Red River Valley: a stirring visual symphony" on the film has a symphonic poem-like structure of the style of comment.
2. Artistic style comments. For example, "Poetic Battlefield Writing" analyzes the different poetic connotations of several major battle scenes in the film "The Great Turning", and comments on the rich poetic feelings expressed by the film in the form of ink splashing, which gives people an audio-visual feeling that shakes their heartstrings. As for "The Red Lovers", which has aroused much controversy, "The Imaginative Beauty of Poetry Cinema" gives affirmation from the perspective of cinematic style and innovation.
3. Review of Aesthetic Characteristics. The Call for Affection and Humanity" starts from the aesthetic characteristics of contemporary tragedy, pointing out that contemporary tragedy focuses on exploring the complexity of human spiritual life, and evokes people's appreciation of the valuable things in life, such as date affection and humanity. Evaluation of the "little kid" article "why the" little kid "is a delightful" combined with the analysis of children's aesthetic psychology.
Four, a review of the characteristics of the movie.
This kind of review writing has strong professionalism, such as the language of the film, structure, rhetoric, suspense, sound, color, music, photography, stunts, acting, directing and other aspects of the review. Examples are as follows:
1. Movie language review. The <Red Gorgon>-The Beginning and Successful Road of Chinese Cinema to the World.
2. Movie Structure Review. The Structural Art of <The Battle of Pingjin>-A Complex Intertwining of Weft and Warp Date.
3. Movie Rhetoric Review. Movie rhetoric includes a variety of techniques, such as contrast, exaggeration, symbolism, anthropomorphism, etc., such as "Appreciation of Symbolism in <The Opening of the Sky>".
4. Movie Rhythm Review. Full of deep feelings of rhythmic beauty date about the movie
5. movie suspense comments. Suspense iterative set up heart-stopping date on the American film
6. Movie sound commentary. The sound of the movie sound in
7. Movie Color Commentary. Why Zhang Yimou Favors Red" and "Strengthening Meaning" in "Form".
8. Review of movie details. The Intriguing "Secret Accounts of Nayin" and "A String of Sparkling Necklaces".
9. Review of movie performances. The Charm of the Eye
10. Movie music reviews.
The above review perspectives are not absolute, but are interpenetrating, inter* and compatible. The perspective of the review can be composite, such as commenting on the characters, in addition to the above comments on a person, commenting on a class of people, or contrasting analysis of opposing characters, but also on several films or a certain type of film in a comprehensive analysis of similar characters, or a certain creative tendency to comment on. For example, "Sorrow and Heroism" analyzes the universal theme of American films; "Anatomy of the Screen Image of Soldiers in the New Period", "Why Young Actresses Can't Be Evergreen", "Why Jump into the Bathtub? ", "Why the ugly star is popular" and other topics are selected to synthesize the creative tendency of certain types of films.
The style of movie reviews can be varied, generally in the form of essays, but also can be used in the form of letters, on the living body, question and answer body, accompanying the record. In recent years, there are also prose style, prose style to express emotions, light and lively, beautiful writing, but generally lack of rigorous argumentation, less logical power, the theory of the color is thin, in the garden of film criticism should be allowed to exist in a variety of styles.
Four, movie review writing requirements
A, close to the "movie" and "review".
The content of the review must be provided by the movie, not from the manual and newspaper stories.
It is important to capture the qualities of the art of the movie, and the subject of the review has a sense of image and movement. Allow people who have not seen the movie to gain a general understanding of it and agree with you.
To develop a review, a clear center, tight reasoning and argumentation, do not "story plus feelings" or have a point of view without argumentation.
Second, the overall grasp, the details of the breakthrough.
First of all, there is a correct overall evaluation of a movie, based on which to choose a smaller perspective in-depth excavation, to achieve a high level, tasting into the subtle. Avoid being all things to all people.
On the other hand, to avoid a blindfold, not see the forest. Strive to write an incisive monograph, do not write generalizations, loose thesis. At present, all kinds of newspapers and magazines, including professional film newspapers and magazines in order to grab the time, to engage in "hype", published by most of the journalists according to the information distributed by the editorial director of the composite review of the excerpts, into the "storyline + thematic ideas + artistic features + actors + shooting highlights". formula.
Third, the unity of ideology and artistry.
Focusing on the social significance of the review should take into account the artistry of the film, to illustrate and argue with the screen image provided by the film. A student who wrote a movie review of "The Burning of the Yuanmingyuan" only expressed his feelings about this historical event, and the whole article had nothing to do with the movie, which is not strictly speaking a movie review.
Focusing on the artistic value of the review to grasp the ideological connotation embodied in the artistic expression.
To pay attention to the artistry of the review article itself.
Fourth, focusing on the thought and the literary style.
Strive to have their own unique insights, and strive for novelty, profound, rather than "profound one-sided, great prejudice, creative misunderstanding", do not converge, say some everyone understands the "correct point of view". Conceptualization of ideas as a military strategy, "see the sun and the moon is not for the eyes, hear the thunder is not for the ears", "surprise, attack", to win by surprise.
Paying attention to the vividness of the language of the review, the image is clear, pay attention to the appropriate length of the sentence, rhyme and harmony, both theoretical color, but also to understand the fluent, so that the theory of the article to give a person the beauty of language and the power of emotion.
The main plot and scene of "Yellow River Love"
1. The air and sea battle. Preemptive, fast-paced battle scenes to mobilize the audience's emotions.
Forced landing in distress. Continues to engage the audience with thrilling scenes of a child rescuing someone; a cliff crash; and a child being blown up.
7. Blackie's home. Three guns singing, see flowers catch scorpions to cure injuries; Owen see flowers red bib, leading to flashbacks: Japanese invaders gas murder, brother out of the window was shot.
8. The cottage is trapped. Crossing the river was captured by the militia; prison Owen "honorable surrender" and black "as long as there is a breath will never stop resisting" argument; three guns to the owner of the cottage talk about the relationship between "outsiders, relatives, enemies". The three guns talk about the relationship between "outsiders, relatives, and enemies" to the village master. Three Guns looks at Blackie and says, "The Zhao family has caused me to lose my manhood"; flashback: the armed fight.
9. The torture chamber to get out of danger. Execution is imminent, Anjie rescue, the ghosts shot Anjie - Zhaijie woke up in a dream (internal struggle); Anjie out of the window to run to the execution ground, pulling a grenade to threaten his father, rescue.
10. Ancient temple shelter. Flowers put scorpion bite Japanese officers; ancient temple, the mysterious atmosphere of oriental culture, to create the atmosphere of mutual love; European literature in Chinese "I am a good friend of the Chinese people, I am ANGIEL's best best friend", "YES". Mountains sunset, the ancient beacon "you ...... all have a lot of love", the initial understanding, the beginning of love.
11. Humiliating memories. Blackie night visit to the owner of the cottage, to explain (about Anjie's misfortune, prompting the owner to change); reeds, Anjie painful memories; Pol understand "a weak woman would rather give up her life, can not give up the dignity of man".
16. Paying homage to the souls of the faithful. One photo after another - the photos of children, flowers, father, Heizi, Anjie - are put into the rapids, "Let life return to the Yellow River", the leaf whistle of Albatross sounds, flashbacks: daggers, hand grenades, the Yellow River... ...
Commentary Angle

The value of life and the destiny of the nation; 3. Expectations of peace and the period of calling and the development of the society; 4. The clash and mingling of the concepts of different cultures on the basis of the love of mankind.
Second, the character commentary: 1, a single character; 2, a certain type of characters; 3, contrasting characters; 4, from the character relationship analysis, such as Chinese and foreign, father and daughter, national and clan relations.

VII. Plot and Rhythm: The climax of the battle and the setting of the lyrical passages; the ups and downs of tension and soothing emotions; the change of the camera's rhythm between fast and slow.

Comparison between Chinese and foreign films: Compared with Saving Private Layne, the same story is about saving lives and returning home in the form of memories, but Yellow River in Love avoids the argument of why it saves lives and avoids preaching, so that it can accommodate more connotations; a variety of contradictory conflicts; a group of characters with distinctive personalities; and the two clues between the war and love are advanced, which is richer in lyrical colors.
IX. Comparison with Red River Valley: the rationality of the clash of civilizations; narrative features to strengthen the storytelling; characterization in contrast to show the development of character, pay attention to the richness of character.
There are a lot of people who think that watching a movie is just watching a movie. But the truth is, when you write a movie review, you're not writing a movie review. But in fact, when you write a movie review, you are also letting yourself look back at what you have watched in this one and a half hours. What did you get out of it? Even a bad movie has a hard-working crew, what are they looking at? No one wants to make a bad movie that everyone will reject, so is there any merit in what everyone calls a bad movie, or is it the producer, the director, the producer, the producer, the producer, the producer, the producer, the producer, and the producer? Do the producers, directors, actors and actresses use different ideas to make a bad movie? Did the producers, directors, actors and actresses think differently?
These, when you start to write a movie review, your thoughts will become clearer and clearer, and the scope of your thoughts will become wider and wider
Not only can you have more experience than others, but you can also bring your experience to the public
In the movie review after movie review, you will find that your own writing has improved, and that when you watch a movie, you can see more details, and you can be touched to the depths of your heart, then you have succeeded in your goal. Then, you've made it
Of course, no one can do it overnight (except if you're a literary creator yourself). When I look back on the articles I wrote at the beginning, I also felt that my writing was raw and my vision wasn't deep enough, but in article after article, I found that I naturally went on for a long time, and, of course, it still isn't good enough now
The best quote is ----
"Profoundly one-sided, greatly prejudiced, creatively misunderstood"
It's not always necessary to write a movie review in the middle of the road, positive． There's a lot to be said for positive, negative, and sideways insights. Side-by-side insights are unique
Simplify, simplify, simplify, every word is brilliant
