“发生了什么事，布列塔尼·墨菲（Brittany Murphy）？”降低了其晚期主题：电视评论
‘What Happened, Brittany Murphy?’ Degrades Its Late Subject: TV Review
32岁的电影明星布列塔尼·墨菲（Brittany Murphy）的2009年去世，是一种悲剧，它诱使人们寻找答案 - 无论是实用，无论是如何发生还是更宇宙，都可以找到更大的意义在这里失去生命和潜力的情况下，还有一些事实，超出了我们使它们满足其意义的能力。有时候，事情只是可悲的。尽管探索了黑暗和不舒服的地方，但新的纪录片系列“发生了什么事，布列塔尼·墨菲（Brittany Murphy）？”在系列开始之前，对观众来说，对其标题问题的答案再也没有澄清的答案了。至于含义，“发生的事情”却使好莱坞陈词滥调的最黯淡，最钝的陈词滥调结束，在一个假装纪念墨菲的记忆的地方，在一个假装纪念它的同时，穆尔菲是一个狂热的，诸如“无知”，“ 8英里，“ 8英里”的电影中， ”和“罪恶之城”，尽管她的职业生涯在她去世时已经陷入困境。她一直在失去opp由博客作者佩雷斯·希尔顿（Perez Hilton）在屏幕上代表的八卦的部分原因是，他的第十一个机会为他在对话中添加的恶意表达道歉，同时实际上将责任归咎于文化气氛。同样，《时代的小报》记者表达了对墨菲如何遭受痛苦的看法，看似缺乏透视或讽刺。作为表演者的工作，身体健康。她的丈夫本人在墨菲（Murphy）做过不到一年之后就去世了，他作为操作员和控制人物而受到批评，他在墨菲（Murphy）的生活中的角色仍然不稳定。因为我们对墨菲是谁是一个陈词滥调的人没有有意义的感觉 - 她喜欢表演，她真的很可爱，依此类推 - 我们不明白他对她的意义，或者为什么她对他的恶性症如此容易受到影响。影响。现实情况是，婚姻的两个成员都消失了，我们不知道他们的观点。进入那个差距严峻，令人毛骨悚然的猜测。墨菲的逝世可能是“关于”不好的婚姻，或者妇女在好莱坞的压力或旁观者的不采取行动。我们不知道，因此所有这些都可以感觉到足够真实。至于她的死亡原因的字面意义：比我不属于我不属于的观众，我很少有比执行墨菲尸检的检查员描述了检查死者的肺部的过程。要点：这位明星的命运有几位作者，但肺炎是陈述的原因。这并不是固有地是禁区（尽管它接近）。导演辛西娅·希尔（Cynthia Hill）远远无法控制语气或对她的主题的见解，使其感觉像是在尸检时感觉像是什么。该纪录片，分为两个小时的零件，尽管缺乏足够的材料达到90分钟的标记，有时会插入YouTuber的镜头，说他们相信墨菲正在发生更多的事情。作为对在线评论的狂野西部本质的手势，鉴于希尔无法满足这些人的好奇心，而且并没有真正尝试，它充其量是随机的。通常，感觉就像希尔在轻松模式下尝试玩游戏，使用社交网络中的匿名和随机数字来主张她无法通过她的电影制作来可靠地陈述的证据。Murphy迫使我们超越了影响她的职业生涯可能会暗示，首先是因为她的达菲（Daffy）魅力（Daffy Charisma）在片段中发挥了作用，这通常无味对墨菲（Murphy）自己的生活的行动发表评论。他们比屏幕上的任何事情都更加抓紧，当然，对丢失的东西比“发生了什么”中的其他任何事情都更加丰富。她的故事也很吸引人墨菲（Murphy）在坦率的视线中消失了，从名望变成了隐居的存在。无可否认，这是在内脏层面上引人入胜的，但是尊重我们的要求至少超出了内脏。否则，像希尔这样的电影制片人正在像许多人的生活中那样在死亡中追捕她的主题。在这里，不允许穆尔菲作为一个有才华的艺术家，有一个值得记住的故事：我们必须从镜头上讨论她的器官的形状验证她死了，以一种令人愉悦的叙事方式死亡。上个月，当观看Netflix的文档有关墨菲的当代人布兰妮·斯皮尔斯（Britney Spears）时，我想知道自己要停下来的骇人听闻，粗心的exegeses，以说服每个人都有足够的神话化。的确，我们要允许永久性的主题以自己的方式考虑她的艺术遗产的空间需要什么，最终要考虑到她的隐私或人类尊严，什么也没说什么？答案问题，HBO Max的不值得纪录片明确说明，什么都没有，甚至没有死亡。“发生了什么事，布列塔尼·墨菲？”10月14日，星期四，在HBO Max上首映。
The 2009 death of Brittany Murphy, the 32-year-old film star, is the sort of tragedy about which it’s tempting to search for answers — be they practical, about how it happened, or more cosmic, about what greater meaning can be found in the loss of life and potential here.
And yet some sets of facts exist beyond our ability to make satisfying sense of them. Sometimes, things are just sad. For all its probing into dark and uncomfortable places, the new documentary series “What Happened, Brittany Murphy?” can come to no more clarifying answer to its title question than what had seemed apparent to a viewer before the series began. As for meaning, “What Happened” settles for the bleakest and dullest of Hollywood cliché, ending in a place that degrades Murphy’s memory while pretending to honor it.
Murphy was an ebullient, bright presence in films like “Clueless,” “8 Mile,” and “Sin City,” though her career had wound down by the time of her death. She had been losing opportunities in part due to gossip, represented onscreen by the blogger Perez Hilton, taking his umpteenth opportunity to make a show of apologizing for the malice he added to the conversation while actually putting the blame nebulously on the cultural climate. Similarly, tabloid reporters from the era express wonderment at how Murphy suffered in plain sight, with a seeming lack of perspective or irony.
Other, somewhat more credible on-camera sources describe how Murphy came to appear visibly frail and altered, incapable of executing her job as a performer and in apparent ill health. Her husband, who himself died less than a year after Murphy did, comes in for criticism as an operator and a controlling figure, and his role in Murphy’s life remains unsettled. Because we get no meaningful sense of who Murphy was as a person beyond cliché — she loved to perform, she was really sweet, and so on — we can’t understand what he meant to her, or why she was so susceptible to his malign influence.
The reality is that both members of the marriage are gone and we can’t know their perspectives. Into that gap rushes grim, eerie speculation. Murphy's passing might be "about" a bad marriage, or the way women are pressured in Hollywood, or the inaction of bystanders. We can't know, and so all of them are made to feel true enough. As for the literal matter of her cause of death: Rarely have I as a viewer felt quite such a sense of intruding where I don’t belong than when the examiner who performed Murphy’s autopsy describes the process of examining the departed’s lungs. The takeaway: The star’s fate had several authors, but pneumonia is the stated reason.
It’s not that this is inherently off-limits (although it comes close). It’s that director Cynthia Hill has nowhere near the control of tone or the insight about her subject to make it feel like anything other than, well, gawking at an autopsy. The documentary, randomly split in two hourlong parts though it lacks sufficient material to hit the 90-minute mark, at times intercuts footage of YouTubers taking it upon themselves to say that they believe something more was going on with Murphy. As a gesture towards the Wild West nature of the online commentariat, it feels random at best, given that Hill cannot satisfy these individuals’ curiosity, and doesn’t really try. More often, it feels like Hill trying to play the game on easy mode, using anonymous and random figures from the social web to assert something she can’t marshal the evidence to credibly state through her filmmaking.
Murphy compels us, beyond what the impact of her career might suggest, first because of her daffy charisma, which the film serves up in snippets, often tastelessly seeming to comment on the action of Murphy's own life. They’re more gripping than anything else onscreen, and certainly a more richly evocative sense of what was lost than anything else in “What Happened.” Her story is, too, engaging because of its baleful sense of Murphy’s having disappeared in plain sight, falling from fame to a reclusive existence to death. This is undeniably compelling at a visceral level, but respect demands that we progress at least somewhat beyond the visceral. Otherwise, a filmmaker like Hill is hounding her subject in death the way many did in life.
Murphy is not allowed, here, to exist as a gifted artist with a story worth remembering: We must literally discuss the shape of her organs on camera to verify that she died in a way that’s pleasing to the narrative. When watching a Netflix feature doc about Murphy’s contemporary, Britney Spears, last month, I wondered to myself what it would take to make the hacky, careless exegeses stop, to convince everyone that we’ve had enough mythologizing. What, indeed, would it take for us to allow the perpetual subject some space for her artistic legacy to be considered on its own terms, to say nothing of finally taking into account her privacy or her human dignity? The answer to that question, HBO Max’s unworthy documentary makes clear, is nothing, not even death.
"What Happened, Brittany Murphy?" premieres on HBO Max Thursday, Oct. 14.
