3.5. Didn't quite get the overwhelming hate this film got. The satire here is not particularly intelligent nor incisive, but that seems fitting when reality is more mundanely grotesque than fiction: it's almost like the real world does not deserve to be treated in a more aesthetically profound manner. The sense of helpless anger and disbelief at the state of the world is quite genuine, and there are emotional moments that work quite well. It's a typically white and star-studded mainstream film, and that's okay.
片名透露了这是一个天赋异禀却高开低走的人物故事凯奇把自己的演艺道路搬上银幕电影也层出不穷地回cue他曾经的光辉时刻凯奇更是借机回应关于烂片之王的吐槽但我完全没有感受到unbearable weight具体是什么我甚至质疑本片与中心词massive talent风马牛不相及片里片外的凯奇沦为烂片之王不是因为massive talent的稍纵即逝而是缺钱迫使接片不加节制、导致口碑下滑故事的本质是常见的中年危机题材至于青年凯奇劝勉中年凯奇时常用的那句You have a gift与主人公凯奇的凤泊鸾漂和重振雄风可以说是驴唇不对马嘴片中真正有gift的是对故事具备敏锐直觉的佩德罗而在切入切戏中戏中47岁佩德罗扮演的角色显然更富有层次感
