The Los Angeles Times analyzed "Pulp Novels" from the perspective of an actor, and gave a high score of 3.4 according to the official scoring standards of the Cannes Film Festival. Among them, a very high evaluation of Hugo's performance was expected, not only because the Los Angeles Times' always respectful attitude towards Hugo, but also because this view has also been widely recognized in Cannes.

The authoritative British professional film magazine "Visual and Audio" commented on Hugo's performance, "From hairstyle to outfit, language to action, expression to eyes, Hugo injected soul into the character Vincent. We can read the character's personality from a detail he casually, and even his growth experience. His every move is a play, but there is no trace of performance at all. It completely integrates the actors and the characters, bursting out an astonishing spark."

In the view of "Sight and Audio", the first scene in "Pulp novels" that best reflects the essence of Hugo's performance is called "Twisting Dance". "In addition to paying tribute to classic movies and classic dances, the personality and inner activities of the character Vincent are clearly presented.

Vincent's sympathy for Miya and fear of her boss Masha in his heart clashed with each other. As the chat progressed further, it evolved into a conflict with her favorable feelings for Miya and her concern for Anton's miserable situation. In the end, all emotions burst out in a dance. After Vincent and Miya returned home, they became hesitant to stay overnight or leave decisively. After experiencing Miya's fainting, the two of them could find that all the ambiguity and eroticism disappeared in their last conversation. Vincent did not respond to Miya's jokes, and the two broke up casually.

It can be said that the development between Vincent and Miya has a very profound connotation, from Vincent's fear and rejection to sympathy, then it becomes a spark, and even the possibility of a coincidence, and finally returns to calm. The emotional development between these two characters is hidden under the surface of the entire story. Only by carefully observing the performances of the two actors can you discover this unexpected surprise.

Among them, Hugo's performance undoubtedly plays an absolute dominant role, and is concentrated in the scene of Twist Dance, and is presented delicately and vividly.

At the beginning, he was restrained, stepped back and defended, responded clumsyly, and finally let go of his hands and feet and cared for the whole time, and even developed a touch of tacit understanding. In this short dance, Hugo had no special expression, just used his eyes and body movements to outline the changes in his emotions, subtle and real, concise and believable. Even if he slowed down and watched one frame after another, there was absolutely no problem, and it made people respect him!"

At the end of the comment, "Sight and Audio" said, "This actor who just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Little Golden Man not long ago is only twenty-six years old this year, but obviously, his strength is growing at an incredible speed, and deserves the applause of admiration for every movie lover."

Not only the Los Angeles Times and "Visual and Audio", but many other media also praised Hugo's performance when writing film reviews. Many media even believed that Hugo's performance could totally dominate Cannes and won the trophy of the best actor. This call began to spread gradually in a small range.

"Pulp Novels" has become a masterpiece that has been recognized by Hugo's performance after "Schindler's List". Unlike several previous works, "Pulp Novels" and "Schindler's List" have an influence that cannot be ignored on the international stage. However, Hugo's performance can still be recognized, which means it has withstood more tests. This is also an unexpected gain from this trip to Cannes.

After two days of lows, the power of "pulp novels" began to rise. After the first four film reviews developed to four days, nineteen film reviews have evolved, surpassing the "Queen Margo" that was popular among the French, and becoming the most discussed work since the opening of the 47th Cannes Film Festival. This is also a rare scene. After all, this is the home court of the French.

The "pulp novel" that played away games has become the focus of heated discussion, which further illustrates the craze triggered by this movie. Until this time, the feedback from the filmmakers and the reaction of the media and the pursuit of the audience have reached the same track.

As the number of media scores increases, the comprehensive score of "Pulp Novels" has gradually begun to decline, truly reflecting the current media views on "Pulp Novels". In the rating system of four points, the comprehensive score of 19 media outlets reached 3:1 points, which can be regarded as a highly sought-after masterpiece. But even so, this is still not the highest score.

In terms of the comprehensive average score performance of the official Cannes Film Festival official magazine, Krisztov Kieslowsky, who relied on the "Blue, White and Red Trilogy", established his status as a master of film history, still showed strong competitiveness in this year's hot competition. Last year, "Blue" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and in February this year, "Blue" won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. Now, after the release of the Cannes Film Festival, "Red" led the way with a super high average score of 3.5, becoming the strongest competitor of the Palme d'Or, which made many media exclaim, would Krisztov want to complete the feat of winning the award at all three international film festivals in one year?

In addition to the "Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy", the competition among other works is relatively fierce. "Queen Margo" relies on the powerful force of the French local media and occupies the second place at present with a three-point three evaluation; the third one is a bit surprised, not "pulp novels", but immediately received "living" praise from the media after its premiere yesterday. The high score of 3-2 surpassed a number of competitors in one fell swoop and became one of the strong competitors in the final award; "pulp novels" that won the three-point one score can only temporarily rank fourth.

In addition to these four works, Russia's "burnt.by.the.sun" and France's "dear.diary" also have very good reviews. The most important thing is that the Cannes Film Festival is still three days away, and there will be some exciting works in the future, which is still unpredictable. At that time, this average score ranking may still change.

It can be seen that this year's Cannes Film Festival can definitely be regarded as a gathering of good films and the competition is particularly fierce.

"Pulp novels" still fail to show absolute dominance in the media's praise. This is also a feature of the film festival: classic works are emerging one after another, and you will never realize whether a stunning film history will appear tomorrow.

Although "Pulp Novels" cannot be the leader in media ratings, on the one hand, it is also because the number of reviews of "Pulp Novels" far exceeds that of competitors, which to some extent lowers the average score; on the other hand, it is because of away games. The most popular "red" at present is Italian works, and "Queen Margo" is French works. Relatively speaking, "Living" from China and "Pulp Novels" from the United States are naturally at a disadvantage.

The most important point is that the theorem of "the hottest will die" is often very effective at the Cannes Film Festival. Due to the particularity of the jury selection system and media ratings do not have absolute reference value, the final award trend is still confusing.

Of course, it is undeniable that there are many people who don’t like “pulp novels”.

As Roger Ebert said in his own film reviews, the innovation and boldness of "pulp novels" are undoubtedly a double-edged sword. Those who like them are extremely respected, while those who hate them will be extremely despised.

The old French professional film magazine "Popular Tif" does not agree with this movie. "Qentin Tarantino, who is the screenwriter and director, seems to have always emphasized his own style and hopes to add more personal influence to the film. This has led to some segments of the film, especially bloody violence and homosexuality, rape, which brings a strong sense of discomfort, just like directly attacking public figures in society who are afraid of losing their reputation, hoping to bring creativity and novelty from the scenes that offend these "public figures", but the result has led to a fierce disgusting reaction.

Maybe this is not a work of strong moral condemnation such as race, racial discrimination or massacre, but its theme and intention must also be criticized and cannot be agreed upon."

Not only is it a "main film", but it is also the Italian magazine "film". This magazine's status in Italy is just like the "film manual" in France, and it was once the soil for the birth of neo-realism after the war.

"'Pulp novels' messy and disorderly spliced ​​together countless violent and bloody scenes. Apart from the novelty in the narrative structure of the movie, the whole movie is like the name of the work, but the pubic novel hidden in the corner of the second-hand bookstore records unbearable, vulgar, and undercurrent boring words, and are not well-known."

These two professional magazines are not optimistic about "pulp novels" and are even more useless in criticism. However, the "protagonist" highly praised "Queen Margo", and the "movie" gave absolute praise to "Red". From this we can vaguely see that in addition to the magazine's respective aesthetic orientations, the competitive consciousness of the country and region must have some influence.

Of course, the most important thing is that Europe itself is the field of art film. Compared with movies like "pulp novels" that are full of black humor and use movies as entertainment methods, it is obvious that works such as "live" with a strong sense of life and deep social significance are more in line with the aesthetic standards of European media.

This is the art form of movies. Some people like it, some people hate it, and anyone has the right to express their opinions on a movie, whether it is good or bad, so the negative comments of "Pulp Novels" are not surprising. In addition to professional media, "Pulp Novels" have also become the hottest topic at the Cannes Film Festival. Many filmmakers are also mentioned in interviews, and they can naturally express their opinions.
