Emily's box office exceeded 26 million in the first week of its release. Among the movies that have been released this year, it is second only to Saving Private Ryan, Armageddon, and more than twice as much as There's Something About Mary. It has to be said that the box office figures are extremely moving.
Armageddon is a blockbuster directed by Michael Bay, with stars like Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, and Ben Affleck starring; it's no surprise that the box office is high. The box office of a big-budget movie is naturally high. Although all Hollywood is saying that the movie lost money, it is based on its 140 million investment and 190 million box office. Its box office figures are still among the top.
Saving Private Ryan is a war blockbuster directed by Spielberg. It is also an epic movie with big scenes and stars top actors like Tom Hanks. Two top Hollywood filmmakers cooperate with each other and have a very high reputation. No surprise at the box office.
It can only be said that it is a miracle that Emily can have such a high box office. There's a reason for such a miracle, though. Unlike Saving Private Ryan, who writes from the big picture, Emily digs deep into the small. That movie shocks people, but this one nourishes people.
Movies that can nourish the soul will naturally be popular, and popular movies will naturally be influential, and with influence, of course, a virtuous circle will be formed.
"Among the movies released this year, Armageddon is disappointing, Saving Private Ryan is satisfying, and Emily is a great surprise. No one thought that it would cause so much excitement after this movie was released. The love of many people, even, had a greater influence than Saving Private Ryan, and even affected every aspect of our daily life."
The media said that the influence is considerable; it is not groundless: according to media statistics, this movie did produce a significant impact: Everyone's little quirks are made very clear in the film. And after the movie was released, people couldn't help but want to try Emily's eccentricities. Many couples are looking for creme brulee after watching a movie or looking for a place to shoot a photo in such a situation.
The shops around the cinema made a lot of money.
What's more, after this movie, wearing a dress with a shawl, short hair with ears, and the extremely bright colors of the clothes in the movie all suddenly became popular and became popular. Although such a color scheme and such a hairstyle are not suitable for everyone, many girls still try their best to dress themselves up as angels in their minds.
It's enough for a movie to make people happy, but it can also spread its influence to the catering and fashion circles. It can only be said that the influence of this movie is constantly expanding. Unlike blockbuster movies that are out of life, this kind of movie goes deep into life, which makes people willing to learn and imitate. When a movie can affect people's life and aesthetics, this movie is undoubtedly a classic.
"This movie brought an absolutely sensational effect." The media commented. They are all full of praise for the movie.
Amidst the praise, after the movie received 26 million box office in the first week of its release, the box office in the second week was directly and violently raised. In the second week, the film's box office figures jumped from 26 million to 57 million.
Within a week, the increase was as high as 31 million — even if Levi decided that this was a good movie, he was shocked by this figure.
Anyone has to admit that when a movie has such a box office, it will inevitably be in a shocking position on the top box office list this year.
And this is also a great thing for directors and actors.
"Before Director Levi made this film, some media thought that a director of political films would not make love stories. I think they have to apologize to him now: for some geniuses, the difference in film type is not film shooting. No matter what kind of film he makes, a director with a mind of his own can bring his mind to the film."
While the film was successful, "Variety" magazine paid more attention to the film's director, Levi. The success of a movie can be said to be accidental, but when a director has shot two completely different types of movies, but both of them are successful, then it must be noted that the director is indeed of an exceptional standard.
And, not to mention the consistent ideological nature of the two films: this romantic comedy, in the final analysis, is still the theme of the story. Although Emily's life is a constant pursuit and exploration, she is fundamentally a lonely child's self-entertainment. Fundamentally, this is still the story of lonely people, in line with the last movie. Although there are various problems, in the end, all lonely souls have taken a firm step in the right direction.
Any director's movie has an eternal theme. If the shooting method of a movie is a person's muscles and bones, then the theme of the movie is the inner soul. A director's filming has not discarded its soul, so what reason is there to say that his filming failed?
The improvement of the director's level is all shown in the movie. Anyone who sees this movie has to admit that the movie shot by Levi is indeed satisfactory.
Moreover, when "Variety Show" commented on this movie, it did not forget the most satisfying part of this movie.
"This movie not only has Levi's consistent exploration of loneliness and the portrayal of delicate feelings but also reflects his tolerance of special groups. In the movie, everyone that Emily has helped, including Emily herself, are people with special quirks and unique characteristics. None of these people is perfect, and each of them has various flaws.
When watching the movie, I was always worried. In the end, Emily helped them change their flaws, and Emily changed the flaws in herself. A movie has a happy ending, but a happy ending story contains people who stand on the high ground of morality, and their attitude towards other groups of people is very disrespectful to marginalized groups.
Fortunately, Levi does not do this, and in the last movie, he firmly believes that there are good people among secret agents. In this movie, he still firmly believes that even marginalized people have a good side. He does not try to change them or criticize them without authorization. This approach is also showing the group enough respect."
A good movie can reflect the director's ideas. Even if someone like Levi remakes other people's movies, he always has to incorporate some of his own thoughts and opinions. In this respect, Levi handles arguably without any problems, as it has been judged that his attitude towards these people lies behind the story.
At the same time, as highly respected as Levi, Winona is also one of the most essential characters in this film.
"If Levi's script and plot are the biggest motivation for women to watch this movie, then Winona's beauty and smile are the biggest reasons for all male audiences to watch the movie. Holding a spoon and smiling Winona from the show can make men want to buy movie tickets immediately after seeing the poster."
People have various evaluations of an actor, and no matter the circumstances, evaluating an actor can attract the audience; both are high enough compliments. In this movie, Winona's beauty is unquestionable. In Hollywood, it is difficult to find an actor with more correct facial features than her. Her appearance is matched with a smile, which is enough to make everyone see what a beautiful girl she is.
Top-notch beauties are already very attractive to the audience. In the past, when Winona made movies, she mostly shot gothic-style movies or movies in the style of British classical dramas. And neither of these two styles is a movie that deliberately portrays the heroine's beauty.
Her beauty can only be used as an embellishment, a symbol of beautiful things, or a reflection of what is called noble temperament. No matter what you say in those movies, she is not the main focus. In contrast, in this movie, she is the unique focus.
Beautiful, kind, optimistic, with a lot of wits, although she has her own lonely side, she still opens her heart to help others - the shaping of this character is no different from the word "angel."
Moreover, even without mentioning her beauty, Winona's performance in this movie is convincing enough. She let go of the reserved, noble, and elegant image that she had created in the past and began to become nervous, optimistic, and shy. Such a transformation is very rare for her. The elf girl in the past behaved like a crazy and stupid child in this movie, and she was also a very likable stupid child, which made people praise her performance.
"Winona has shown her profound skills as an actor. Obviously, she has once again proved that she is not just a vase. She can rely on her superb acting skills to show a completely different life, whether it is noble or elegant, whether she is delicate and pleasant, or optimistic and positive, she can show it perfectly, she is worthy of any honor, and even after this movie, we can say that she has enough reasons to compete for an Oscar."
Winona's evaluation is also very high. Being able to play the image in this movie well is a great leap forward for her career.
And everyone knows that this leap was brought to her by Levi.
