Review of the movie Jennifer's Body. Neither body nor flesh
A sexy high school girl - the object of desire of all the guys in a provincial city - is possessed by a bloodthirsty demon, and she begins to devour pretty classmates. Her best friend is trying to stop the murders. Hollywood's most coveted body - actress Megan Fox - is wittily represented by a cannibal monster in Diablo Cody's slapstick horror movie Jennifer's Body. The trinity of the main creators of "Jennifer's Body" fueled interest in this low-budget project. "Stripper Writer" Diablo Cody became famous for writing "Juno" - a cheerful and cheerful social drama about teenage pregnancy. Megan Fox became famous for her breasts and booty, around which Michael Bay voluptuously rotated all the cameras on the set of "Transformers", and then - "Transformers 2". Director Karin Kusama became famous in a different sense, spoiling the brilliant movieography of the beautiful Charlize Theron and the image of the MTV movie brand with the wretched fantasy "Aeon Flux". Interest was ignited in vain: all three turned out to be dynamics. A horror movie with an "adult" R rating did not please either with nudity or dismemberment. The photographs from the movieing of "Bodies ...", where Megan Fox topless emerges from the pond, excited the entire Internet six months ago, were more piquant than the whole movie, in which only the girl's bare legs and shoulders entered from this scene. Otherwise, "Jennifer's Body" is sexy as a women's clothing store - there are only hints of real nudity in it, and even in the scene of the loss of innocence, its participants do not crawl out from under the covers. In bloody scenes, the most interesting every time is lowered by a camera that is too delicate for a horror movie: only the demon Jennifer will open his mouth for the next boy, the picture immediately goes into blackout. This is doubly disappointing, because the shooting in the movie is performed first-class: there are many bright and interesting plans, light plays, and where necessary, the suspense on duty in the style of "mmm ... BUY!"Diablo Cody's hot little thing, who crawls into his underpants rather than into his pocket, is a recognized specialist in witty verbal dives and the uncommon morality of his stories. But the dialogues in "Jennifer's Body" were gutted by the carnivorous demon USA Dubbing, and the idea turned out to be out of place and unreasonably serious. The template-beauty Jennifer, who in most movies of this genre has always acted as a body (option - meat), turns into a vessel of evil and strikes back - a fresh and non-trivial idea. But Diablo Cody, as if out of habit, takes the serious note with which "Juno" is sung. For a teenage, in general, a horror movie, the thin threads of reasoning about the fact that a girl is a sex idol does not belong to herself, and that a much smarter best friend seeks to equal her is a foreign body, and the genre requires love and blood from the movie. (It's funny, by the way, that in the movie, in fact, Megan Fox's "opening act" is performed by much more talented young artists than her - Amanda Seyfried ("Alpha Dog", "Mamma MIA!") in the role of Jennifer's friend and Adam Brody ("Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "In the Land of Women") as the rock singer of the infernal band "Low Shoulders".) "Jennifer's Body" promised to be luxurious - the first of its kind witty horror movie with a sexy beauty in the title role, but not for stupid teenagers - but for a disfigured audience. The movie's deafening failure - meaningful and at the box office - can be considered largely a director's failure. Karin Kusama, caught between Diablo Cody's wordplay and Megan Fox's forms, really "niasilila" neither one nor the other. They say that a person uses the capabilities of his mind only by five percent - approximately at this level, Kusama realized the potential of the project in "Jennifer's Body". A good lesson for Fox and Cody is that they no longer fall into the hands of "MTV directors". The Topic of Article: Review of the movie Jennifer's Body. Neither body nor flesh. |
