What did the Jade Face Monster say?

"Jade Face Love Devil" tells the story of an ambitious swindler who falls in love with a psychiatrist and is finally played by a female doctor.

Stanton (Bradley Cooper), a poor man, comes to the mobile circus by mistake, where he meets Zana (Toni Collette), a tarot soothsayer and her lover Pete (david strathairn). Stanton tried his best to please each other and learned "mind reading" from these two people.

After feeling capable, Stanton took Molly (Rooney Mara) from the circus to work hard in big cities, earning money through the performance of "mind reading" and winning social status. Although Stanton has become a minor celebrity in the divination circle, he is not satisfied and is eager for more money. When Stanton meets psychologist Lilith (Cate Blanchett), he has a bigger ideal, but this ideal pushes him to the abyss step by step.

Film evaluation

Bradley cooper, as one of the most talented artists in Hollywood, shows Stanton's life trajectory from greed to madness in a seemingly insignificant way, and the scheming woman played by Cate Blanchett is also very convincing.

Although this film and 1947' s Jade Face and the Devil are both adapted from the same novel script, they have different interpretations and interpretations. There are some obvious modifications in the film, which show more the motives and psychological activities of the characters. Just like hypnosis in the movie, the movie lures the audience into the story with a tense and slow plot progress. Generally speaking, the jade face is very impressive, and through a solid performance, it shows a pleasant and rich new film black.
