"It's not another 'My Left Foot', it's more like another 'Unreachable'."

This is the title of Pulitzer-winning film critic Roger Ebert.

"Unreachable" is a French film, which was just released this year. It broke the 13-year record of "Titanic" with a dark horse attitude, and became the box office champion of the new film history of French films; it also won a lot of French film critics. With unanimous praise, he broke into the awards season in the United States with a smashing attitude and became a popular seed player for the best foreign language film.

After experiencing the uproar in the early morning and the ups and downs of news reports, as a film critic, Roger still blocked all off-site information, conscientiously focused on the work itself, and expressed his opinions objectively and sincerely, which can be seen from the title of the film review. Coming out, Roger affirmed the "anti-cancer me" in such an analogous way!

"Like some of the other recent films about illness, gus-van-sant's 'No Rest,' Olivier-nakache and Eric Toranda (eric-toledano)'s 'Unreachable', 'Anti-Cancer Me' focuses on a period of earth-shaking changes and turmoil in life in a comedy way. The light-hearted, moving and delicate brushstrokes make this life-changing process. The chemical reactions in are stated.

Could it be something as touching as 'My Left Foot'? Maybe not, but it presents a different face of life and allows us to re-examine ourselves and our lives. What is certain is that the more we know about cancer, the less we want to have anything to do with it. "

It is still a typical Roger style. Instead of judging the pros and cons of a work alone, it places the work in the environment of the same type of film and gives a relatively objective evaluation.

"For a comedy, the format of 'Anti-Cancer Me' is very small, so small that there is only room for the hero Adam Lerner, and it tells the story of one day, Adam was suddenly told the story of having cancer.

The story is based on the personal experience of screenwriter Will Rissel, which puts all the focus on Adam, not too much ambition, not too much depth, but that's exactly what makes the film so successful ——

The film truly and delicately presents Adam's psychological changes, outstanding plot details and excellent character relationships, piece together the impact of cancer on life little by little, from the shallow to the deep, from the surface to the inside, from the virtual to the real. What the audience sees is not an inspirational story of fighting disease, but a true reflection of life: everyone is trapped in their own troubles.

Everyone knows that there are five stages of grief and mourning: denial, anger, argument, depression, and acceptance.

But this is just a word on the psychological level. Only when it really happens and can only be experienced in person, can you feel the weight of each stage, like a cage, trapping everyone in it and unable to break free. This is also the best part of Will-Riesel's entire script.

Rissel set up several roles by Adam's side: a psychiatrist who follows the script and follows a step-by-step process. From Adam, she learned the difference between books and reality. Not everything can be arranged, and not everything can be done. Recorded; self-centered girlfriend, this is Adam's story, but she's caught up in her own grief, pain, and struggles as if she were the center of the world; overly concerned and breathless Mother, be careful and cautious in words and deeds, the disease is like a crystal that people have to take care of, so that Adam is pushed into a sterile space far away from daily life, trapped in place.

Also, a friend who doesn't care, laughing and scolding, he pretends not to care, pretends to be at peace, pretends that the future still exists, but escapes to the end, and when he has to face it, his inner loss and struggle have created bloody blood. Wound.

Three females and one male. Each character represents a different factor in life, and then interacts with Adam, telling all aspects of the impact of cancer on life, and finally bringing it together on Adam, allowing the audience to deeply and truly feel the power and ferocity of the disease. It was overwhelming.

Adam, he went through the five stages of grief: denial, arguing, depression, anger, acceptance. It may not be the normal sequence in psychology, but every moment in life is producing earth-shaking changes, far... far more turbulent than the limit of people's imagination.

At the end of the movie, everyone can't help but start to think: how should we treat life? This is the theme left by the film.

Back to the movie genre again, comedy. Director Jonathan Levine chose a comedy approach to present the story, with witty lines, slapstick confrontations, and Saturday Night Live-style snarky jokes. With a brisk and warm sunshine, this humorous yet serious, joyful yet profound presentation gives the film a freshness and uniqueness similar to '500 Days with Summer'.

This definitely makes the movie more watchable. The solid script is eye-catching, the solid story, the vivid characters and the delicate emotions, and at the same time, the playful humor is complemented by the playful humour, all of which are just right. Will-Risel's brushstrokes are not only true, but also funny The second is still deeply touched by the warmth, and the next second, I can't help laughing. This kind of laughter and tears effect throughout, the whole movie is completed in one go, and it is really rare.

It's worth mentioning that Renly Hall, who starred in the show, delivered a refreshing comedy watch.

Acting, once again showing his ability to control different types of movies, which is another great achievement of the movie. Following 'Crazy in Love', this is Hall's second masterpiece during the awards season, continuing the momentum of 'Buried Alive' last year. Perhaps, we can expect more this year. "

Surprisingly, Roger puts the weight of critics on the script, which is too rare for a comedy movie.

Since Billy Wilder, there have been few comedy scripts that are witty, witty and foolish. Woody Allen is the only contemporary American filmmaker who can perfectly combine comedy and philosophy, comedy and irony. With the integrated screenwriters, the vitality of such works seems to be withering. This is also one of the important reasons why works such as "Little Sunshine" and "Juno" have been enthusiastically sought after by the Academy in the past few years.

Now, it is a little-known screenwriter, a small-budget independent film, and a lighthearted and profound comedy. Could it be that "Me Against Cancer" wants to replicate the miracle of the rise of comedy?

Roger finally gave an evaluation of 88 points, and also gave a "four stars" in the recommendation index of four stars, the reason is, "the first comedy performance of Renly Hall's career!"

The respect and praise of this senior authoritative film critic is evident from this. However, despite the focus on the script, Roger inevitably mentions Renly at the end of the review, and although the length is short, his love for Renly can be seen between the lines. Since "Buried Alive", Roger has been full of praise for this new generation actor, and now it seems that Renly is still his darling.

Roger's counterpart was veteran Hollywood Reporter critic Michael Phillips, who generously gave Renly all his praise.

"Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Anjelica Huston, Bryce Dallas...the cast list is undeniably interesting, 'Pineapple Express', 'Big Belly', 'Too Bad' Works such as 'Leave' made Rogan a leader among the new generation of comedians; and 'In the Clouds' earned Kendrick his first Oscar nomination of his career, and their joining is bound to make 'The Cancer-fighting Me' received a lot of attention.

In fact, Rogan and Kendrick's performances are excellent, and the smooth, hands-on performances complement the style of the film, but the weight, highlights and depth of the whole film are completely supported by Renly Hall, which A representative of the new generation of actors, he challenged the comedy performance for the first time, but gave the most memorable comedy performance since 2011.

There is a delicate but powerful force in Hall's performance. The light-lifting performance gives the whole character a vivid and profound image through the detailed processing of eyes, smiles and movements, which is different from any previous Hall's role. , the dullness, jerky, and cuteness between gestures and gestures are unforgettable; and the wonderful performance rhythm and strange pauses have injected a quirky and sour comedy effect into the film, with tears in the eyes but The smile on his face, in a trance, reminds people of Charlie Chaplin again.

Everything is just right, every line, every expression, every shot is so moving and wonderful, gently poking the softness in the heart, under Hall's powerful performance aura, the whole movie is filled with a This kind of budding and bitter atmosphere, the meaning of life does not come from those stormy waves and magnificent waves, but from those bland and calm, the most subtle moments, the most ordinary emotions, but the most wonderful in the world.

It's hard to imagine that Hall just turned twenty-two last month; it's hard to imagine that this is Hall's first comedy performance; I've had another surprise.

In terms of performance quality alone, 'Anti-Cancer Me' even surpassed 'Love Crazy'. In the film, there are at least three bridges, Hall's performance is simple and thick, delicate and profound, which elevates the whole work to a whole new level.

Is this a whole new story? No, on the contrary, this is a very simple story, so simple that there is nothing new, even a little boring; is it a wonderful story? Yes, this is undoubtedly the most worth watching work in this year's holiday season.

Screenwriter Will Risser delivered a solid answer, but the whole movie shines on Renly Hall. Maybe, this is the best choice for this year's Christmas mood, who knows? "
