Director’s Legend - Chapter 365

“Compared with the old version of “Nightman”, “Nightman: Reflection” is undoubtedly more subverted and sublimated. Shao Shuaijun’s addition and change of a few lenses completely reversed the trend of a movie. No doubt he has succeeded again!” -“Hollywood Entertainment Report.”

“Shao Shuaijun contributed an unexpectedly good movie to us, and it was really unexpected. It takes a lot of courage to break the original setting again.”-Hitfix website.

“Use a mental patient’s worldview to reverse the style of a superhero movie. After watching it, the stomach feels very uncomfortable.”-“The New Yorker”.

“The ironic change, the hero and the clown merge together, this is the most meaningful superhero genre film of the year.”-“USA Today”.

“The plot is too introverted, and the persuasiveness in some places is not enough, but it is much stronger than that of The Night Watcher, whether it is story continuity or content fulfillment.”-“New York Times”.

“The first film produced by IMAX, spring is ushered in four years later.”-Film website.

“Shao Shuaijun made up for a regretful work with his brain full of fantastic ideas, and his director career is full of such miracles!”-“The-Vine”

“Shao seems to want to tell a story about justice and law, but unfortunately, the main line of the movie is not complete, and it seems that the conflict is more than the story.”-“Village Voice”.

“Chicago Sun” film critic Roger Albert gave a perfect evaluation: “Shao’s movies have always had no style, or deliberately separates the style from his own movies. With various plots and stories, Constantly changing. But in the first film “Buried” and “The Night Watcher”, as well as this wonderful “Night Watcher: Reflection”, Shao’s style is continuous, with a strong dark atmosphere, which has a kind of relationship with the world. Out of place.

Nolan successfully portrayed a knight walking in the dark in the two films of the Batman Prequel. Both “Fatal Magic” and “Memory Fragment” showed his strong narrative style. In exactly the same way, these two most outstanding young directors in Hollywood are also biased towards the dark department and portray reality bloody.

Oscar doesn’t like this kind of movie, but the audience likes it. I guess this year’s Oscar, “Night Watcher: Reflection” will not have much to gain, but in the successful reputation, “Night Watcher: Reflection” will be a charming movie that attracts people to the cinema.

In the movie, what surprised me the most was not the identity of Thomas, but the identity of his wife. When the final plot was staged, I was suddenly awakened. What Shao wanted to express was comparable to the Greek in “The Dark Knight”. The crazy side of Ledger! This year, I have seen the most IQ and charming movie! “

Just as the critics argued and affirmed, on Friday’s box office, “The Night Watcher: Reflection” won $12 million in one fell swoop and became the box office champion on Friday. It far surpasses the films of the same period such as “The Story of Dolphins”, “A Penalty”, “The Anti-Cancer Me”, “Courage” and “Dream House”.
