Reality: adoraCinema Critics

Euphoria may not be unanimous among critics and audiences, but it’s no surprise that it’s highlighting the talents of a new generation. Zendaya is one of the biggest names in pop culture and has won two Emmy Awards at home. Jacob Elordi tried harder than his first time to visit A ​​Barraca do Beijo and see Elvis Presley. The biggest one was mostly in the second half of Sydney Sweeney, who also received two Emmy nods last year (for Euphoria and White Lotus). Starting with her Marvel Guarantee article, she shows a new side to independent cinema as the lead character in Reality.

What is the history of reality?

Inspired by Reality’s destiny, Reality joins the FBI after knocking on the door of Reality Winner (Sydney Sweeney), a linguist who works for the North American government but wants to use her skills for the Air Force. Agents Garrick (Josh Hamilton) and Taylor (Marchant Davis) are then mandated to search his home due to a serious allegation: they sent important and confidential documents for the company.

Reality to Tina Sutter, who also stars alongside James Paul Dallas. Long is an adaptation of Sutter’s play. This room?, which received acclaim on Broadway. And what’s also interesting: the text is entirely based on the transcript of Reality’s interrogation conducted by FBI agents in real life.

Reality: simple and difficult at the same time

Overall, Reality is a relatively simple film. This part of the plot is inside (and outside) the house – with a more dramatic twist to keep it simple and comfortable. No cadeirs or mesas. Just think soberly and three people in a problematic conversation. Sutter’s astute direction pulls back from the claustrophobic feel, capturing several moments of tension and showing his protagonist in situations from which he cannot escape.

Simultaneously with the proposal to use three words from the true transcription, there is a truncation in the ability to master the most bizarre things that can often be offered to real life and then staged for canvases. It’s the little details that make everything even more unsettling: laughter at awkward moments, strange conversations between agents about souls being revered as the main character, and then leaving… Everything follows the rhythm of impatient reality, with only a few touches of surrealism in the plot. the third place is ato – which places the viewer in the consciousness of reality.

Adapting a work for film is always a difficult task. Finally, the theater functions as a location and has human creativity to fill in the gaps. This canvas represents something technically realistic: let’s clarify what it is – “parado” can be found in the same place as chato. Reality (or movie) I don’t know if I should worry about this since it depends on being very literal so the camera angles know who has the best score: Sydney Sweeney.

Sydney Sweeney shines in reality

In Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney felt she could pack a powerful emotional punch, just like Lexi’s (Maude Apatow) epic story. Then he achieves full emotion of continuous form in reality. In his facial expression one can feel the initial calm of the parent or the stiffness and need to be appreciated. For some, anxiety is given room for mistakes, and then despair, retreating only to old age, trembling pain and pink nerve rods in red.

Sweeney, who has already been seen in other productions such as The Handmaid’s Tale and Sharp Objects, takes on a polemical and humane figure. Together with Hamilton and Davis, we are building an interesting trio to fall in love with each other: Josh Hamilton is either a charged figure, or his own character, or a leg to be assimilated. Was this a good cop/bad cop double story? He seriously lifts his spirits. Jah Davis also tries to be cute, but his attentive posture is always adorable.

Essentially, the film is entirely on the trio’s side, and the earth would be very wrong if anyone made a mistake. It’s clear that Sweeney is delighted, but the other two serve as levantadores for a pose or a point (That’s the most you want, including me losing my mind when we come to do CrossFit on film, that’s not my area). expertise).

Is Reality Winner guilty or innocent?

Since this is a true story, a simple Google search will tell you if Reality Winner is actually telling you about the crime and its motivations in life. But the film is here to show two ways: either what it says or what it doesn’t say. At one point she is compared to Edward Snowden, but she turns out to be a completely different figure than she has ever been famous for. In truth, Reality appears as a man who is always worried about his daughter and daughter.

Another curious tactic by Sutter is to create small breaks when the conversation comes up with topics censored in the transcript – as if people didn’t know all along that they would have something to do with Russian interference in the presidential election. United States, which ended with Donald Trump becoming a vendor. But it is an interesting detail that gives the film dynamism and additional tension to the topic at hand, helping to realize the importance of this information.

There is no ending, the film discusses two sides of the situation, starting with the daily newspapers to convey everything that has been criticized by the public. It is best to provide a very large enclosure for a long time. Now ask the viewer: if such a situation happened, what would you do? What is better, what is really best for your country? What reason do you need to tell the truth?

Is Reality TV Worth It?

Building on the suspense and small insightful decisions from Tina Sutter, Reality takes Sydney Sweeney’s absurd realization and turns the experience into something very interesting. Sometimes it’s easier than ever, now many people will call you the long word “chato”. Sometimes what dominates my heart is theater, which includes this powerful and performative characteristic, but also the fact that it is such a boa constrictor.

And more importantly: when you need to count something important, why should anyone stop you?
