Movies made specifically to hit awards ceremony for major movies, movies made specifically to maximize commercialization for Oscars, movies made specifically to hit praise and affirmation for professionals, movies made specifically to hit company brands, reputation and personal image... are concentrated together to react, and then a "showing season for works born for awards ceremony" was created, called: awards season.

At the end of 1998, the name of the awards season spread like wildfire and officially appeared on the stage of history for the first time.

In history, the work that made the debut for the opening of the awards season is "Shapespeare's Love History". This time there has been no change in history. Hugo, the little butterfly, has not been able to change this history. "Shapespeare's Love History" once again became a symbolic work at the historical node.

With the intensive publicity in the first three weeks, the discussion on "Shapes' Love History" has quietly caught up with "Trumen's World" and "Save Private Ryan" released during the summer season; in the last week of this year, "Shapes' Love History" was first expanded and reflected in 300 theaters.

However, this time, what made "Shapes' Love History" the focus of public relations was not the expansion of the scale, but the work "Female Devil".

The movie "Female Devil" did not cause much discussion before it was released. Although it was a film starring Charlize Theron, the winner of the Best Supporting Actress in the New Coast Academy, its influence was still limited after all, and more discussions focused on Erin Ainos. The story of this, known as the most terrifying female serial killer in American history, was brought to the big screen and attracted the attention of many people from the beginning.

However, after the movie was released, it triggered unimaginable far-reaching discussion. Roger Ebert expressed his excitement in the comments of the "Chicago Sun" in the concise language, "This is one of the greatest performances in the history of the movie!"

Just such a simple sentence is enough to show Roger's praise, and the 100-point evaluation can be said to be praised. In the comments, Roger's point of view is very obvious, "This is not a perfect movie. From a technical point of view, it has too many things to improve, but it is an extremely real movie! Charlize Theron has dedicated her best performance in her career, and it can even be said to be one of the greatest performances in film history!"

"Delicate, complex, deep, profound, soft, sharp... This is the vitality given to Allen Ainos by Charlize Theron; fear, shock, sympathy, sadness, bitterness, struggle... This is the movie experience that Charlize Theron brings to the audience. Almost every picture is so wonderful that it makes people completely intoxicated."

Roger praised Charlize in all kinds of words. Even Hugo's performance on "Death-infernal Affairs" failed to win Roger's praise. It can be seen that he was truly conquered by Charlize.

Not only Roger, among the first thirteen comments in the movie, in addition to the full score of the "Chicago Sun", the highest score was 88 for the "Hollywood Reporter" and the lowest score was 75 for the "Chicago Tribune", which brought the film's media comprehensive review to 79 for the "Movie Media".

But whether it is the "Hollywood Reporter" or the "Chicago Tribune", Charlize's praise is exactly the same.

The Hollywood Reporter commented that "chasing the limits of audience tolerance and the nerves of self-question, Theron used her performance to keep the most brutal female serial killer in American history permanently in his mind" and the "Chicago Tribune" commented that "this is not an excellent work, but Theron has dedicated a performance that is close to perfection!"

Charlize's praise is like a tide, and more than 80% of the media believe that she has dedicated her career best performance, which is enough to be recorded in history. Even in the context of "Los Angeles Secret" winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Little Golden Man, many media still believe that Charlize is definitely the best candidate for the Oscar Best Actress this year.

Later, when the "Female Devil" was fully released, Hugo also went to the cinema to watch the work himself.

Although Charlize was only twenty-three years old this year, the situation that Hugo was worried about did not happen. Charlize did not look young on the big screen at all. On the contrary, her performance was as if she was possessed by a demon and showed a powerful force through the screen. The shock was actually difficult to describe in words, allowing Hugo to deeply feel the power of the performance, as if through Charlize's eyes, the soul of Erin Ainos could be seen.

Hugo couldn't help but recall the hardships and struggles Charlize had in the filming process. He knew that she performed this work almost in a way that burned her life, like a meteor, released all the energy throughout the performance, and then fell quickly.

In fact, after the filming of "Female Demon", Carl Earl still had many script invitations on hand, but Charlize didn't even read it, and refused them all. In the past two months, even when he saw the script Hugo was adapting, Charlize couldn't control himself. The fatigue and overdrawing of acting have penetrated into his soul and even made his stomach turbulent. It can be seen how much Charlize paid for the "Female Demon".

Now through the big screen, Hugo really saw Charlize's performance, and he sincerely sent his awe: at the end of the movie, he stood up silently and never left, but quietly waited for all the subtitles to be played. After the cleaner kept urging, he slowly left. The tears that had never fallen in his eyes contained all his miscellaneous and profoundness.

Hugo had to agree with Roger's comment: This is not only Charlize's best performance, but also a performance worthy of history.

In history, Charlize received his Oscar Little Golden Man with the "female devil". Many people think that it was the compensation given by the academy for Charlize to act ugly, but those who have really watched this movie carefully know that she is definitely worthy of her reputation. So, this time, can Charlize win the Oscar Best Actress with this work?

After the preview of "Female Devil", many media believed that Charlize had become the number one favorite to win the film queen, which is also everyone's recognition of Charlize's strength. But in this wave, another remark began to emerge. Gwyneth Paltrow's performance in "Shapes Love History" is enough to be comparable to Charlize.

When this remark first came out, many people sneered at it. It was not disrespect for Gwyneth, but the fact. "Shapes' Love History" can be regarded as a love movie. The magnificent scene design, gorgeous palace costumes, natural and lively movie soundtracks in the work all make it qualified to become an "excellent" work. The actors' wonderful performances received a lot of praise, but Gwyneth is definitely not included.

Judy Denge, who plays Queen Elizabeth in the movie, has only eight minutes of scenes, but her aura is enough to shock everyone. Not only is her eyes pressing, but her every move is also enough to make people frighten. However, in the tough language, there is loneliness and sorrow as a queen. This kind of old actor who is always a play can be called a treasure.

The role of the upper-class nobleman Colin Fiss continues the solid foundation of a British actor, and his gentle appearance outlines the character's vulgarity, cowardice, and meanness. The delicate performance details as delicate as hair left a deep impression; and the former Oscar winner Jeffrey Rush showed his edge inadvertently, and his solid performance skills injected great charm into the character.

Surrounded by a group of outstanding actors, the heroine's role is rich in emotions, deep thoughts, sometimes elegant, sometimes affectionate, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad. If you think about it carefully, this role is undoubtedly very challenging. In particular, this role has become the source of inspiration for Shakespeare to write "Romeo and Juliet", which undoubtedly bears the core of the film's spirituality, but Gwyneth's performance is stiff and rigid. In the long and poetic lines, her performance seems pale and powerless, and lacks emotions, not to mention the character's creation, but it only seems single and weak, but the whole story loses its soul. The love of the male and female protagonists is almost inconvincing, which makes Shakespeare's creation lose its core.

Objectively speaking, Gwyneth's performance can only be considered a barely passing, especially with the backdrop of a group of old actors, it becomes more and more pale.

Among the first comments of the movie, the Chicago Tribune even joked, "This movie reminds people of the 'Seven Deadly Sins'." At first, many people did not understand the meaning of this joke, but soon after they realized that Brad Pitt almost became a puppet who could not act in the "Seven Deadly Sins", and Gwyneth, Brad's ex-lover, had also experienced the same experience.

However, now some people say that Gwyneth's performance is comparable to Charlize? This is simply the most ridiculous joke at the end of the century. But as time goes by, the direction of speech in the circle is changing quietly.

Haven't you noticed that Gwyneth has injected the character with charm? Haven't you noticed Gwyneth's cunning and moving eyes? Haven't you noticed the moving spark between Gwyneth and the male protagonist Joseph Fiennes? There has been even rumors that the two are dating? Haven't you noticed that Gwyneth is not inferior in front of Judy?

At the same time, there were countless parties at the end of the year, and Gwyneth, accompanied by the Weinstein brothers, frequently appeared at various parties, chatting with professionals in the circle, showing the excellent communication skills of an elegant woman, no one should forget that Gwyneth's godfather was the famous Steven Spielberg.
