American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
演员阵容挺不错的，但感觉拍的有点乱，剧情也有点迷，
这又是奥斯卡金像奖的热门影片，演唱俱佳，但对我们无感
87分钟。不知港版是不是长点。
智叔！可惜最后一部电影那么努力，却都是TVB剧的感觉
歌真好听 故事性还凑活吧 片名尊重貌似说那个年代白人对黑人的尊重 其实是说人得到的尊重是自己给的 无论在什么位置 不要忘了自己是谁 尊重也是相互的 家人才是最后留在你身边的
Jennifer Hudson >>>> 《天才》第三季的Cynthia Erivo，几首名曲质量完成度之高，可以看到Jennifer为诠释所投入和付出的巨大心力- -她似乎从很久很久前就做好了准备，并毫无保留地交给所有观众。而且很神奇Tituss Burgess、Marc Maron这些喜剧背景的共演，也能熟练地拿捏各自的部分。她的出生、与母亲的创伤、隐忍、坚持再到对自己的“投诚”，Aretha的故事如同每个伟大并拥有经历的歌者，值得太多书写；但最大的感觉还是整个片做得太音乐向了，所有剧情走向和角度都完全服务于几个要在关键节点呈上的表演。之于整个民权运动的意义，音乐史更大的进程影响，篇幅都被分薄了；是得体的致敬，但不算是最有野心的传记。
最后的彩蛋加一星，拍到正片里面的话就可以在一众音乐传记片中脱引而出了
沒有核心故事，流水賬，還特長。如果算傳教片能打三星
这个尬的片子我居然给三部都看完了 问就是太无聊了
试问谁能目睹Aretha版本的
厉害了 居然三部都基本能在同一水平线上 而且小喜剧元素加的恰到好处 张健声的刀疤绝对是印象最深刻角色！
在传记主人公生涯peak的时候电影结束了，不失为一种处理方法
流水线上的作品，节奏挺快，应该省略了不少细节。

现在各种老面孔见缝插针的挣零花钱也都行，但实在不能接受无聊疲软的故事，困
算是比较老套的电影，打戏还是比较精彩。
导演叙事功底太差了，好好的演员阵容拍的像个流水账，也没有把传奇天后富兰克林的个性和人生展现出来，东一下西一下，每个人物出现的都没有交代清楚，实在是可惜
这集稍微有点平淡了。
30/100。即使传记片被大家一致诟病为最无聊没劲的一类电影，你也不能拍得这么令人脚趾抓地吧？看似两个多小时的巨大容量却提炼不出半点有用的信息，围绕着主人公职业生涯和个人情感的各种描绘没有任何调理，纯粹跟着导演自以为是的发展路线毫无章法的铺陈，观众不仅没有了解到更多有关于这位爵士天后的人生细节，反而被这从头到尾的不知所云弄得昏昏欲睡。使得整部电影存在的意义只剩下了动人的黑人金曲，结尾的一首《Amazing Grace》让人突然醒悟过来这是一部试图传递出强大能量的电影，可惜这个时候已经太晚太晚。 @2021-09-06 20:21:37 @2021-12-23 01:15:13
作为传记中规中矩，但她本身的经历很有看点。希望多一些这样的故事激励大家为自己而活着。
