Chapter 349: The Strongest Opponent
"Next up is Best Supporting Actor, and the nominees are Tom Berenger, "Field Platoon", Michael Kane, "Hannah Sisters", Dennis Hopper, "Blue Velvet", Dennis Hopper, "Hot Grass Soldier", Ray Liotta, "Scattered Bullet Lulu", and Tom Berenger, "Field Platoon", congratulations.
With the announcement of the Best Supporting Actor, there was a burst of cheers from the position of the field platoon crew, and the two crews of "Blue Velvet" and "Hot Grass Soldier" were bitter, especially Dennis Hopper, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Two excellent films were nominated for two supporting actors.
It can be said that he was the biggest favorite for Best Supporting Actor before the awards, but as the saying goes, if you are a big hit, you will die, although this is not absolute, but it is really a lot of the time.
This time, Dennis Hopper encountered, two nominations, and forty percent of the winning rate actually failed, no wonder it is not bitter.
However, it is not a grievance, because the award-winning field volleyball is not only the favorite of the Golden Globes, but also the favorite of the Academy Awards.
It can be said that the last emperor's biggest rival at the Golden Globes and Oscars is the field platoon.
The last emperor is based on the real story of a real person, this kind of movie is always easy to win the favor of awards, and although the field platoon is not a real person or a true story, but the movie is about a real war, and it is a war that has a real relationship with the United States, and it is a war that the American people have a real experience of, and even a painful war.
In 1967, Chris Taylor, a young college student, went to serve in Vietnam and was horrified by the sacrifices of his comrades in the first battle. In his field platoon, Sergeant Barnes and the humane Elias were friends but turned against each other because of their different views. In the face of these two factions, Taylor did not know what to do. Barnes took the opportunity to kill Elias during a battle. After a few months of life on the battlefield, Taylor accepted Barnes's views and learned to kill. In the end, he also took advantage of the chaos of the battle to kill Barnes.
The film begins with the perspective of a naïve recruit, who is assigned to an infantry detachment, and in the process of carrying out missions with other fighters, he quickly understands the harsh reality that "the only reason to fight is to find ways to keep himself alive", and then he learns to kill, killing enemies and killing his own people.
The film is a true depiction of the madness and chaos of war, and how war can make people lose their minds. For most veterans of the Vietnam War, Vietnam is a killing ground full of painful memories, and the shadow left by the Vietnam War on the hearts of Americans has lasted for a long, long time, and has not faded into the 21st century.
The field platoon gave up showing the horrific killing between the United States and Vietnam, but depicted the brutality between brothers and comrades-in-arms in rich and colorful colors, but it is still a film that promotes anti-war ideology, which can be said to be more profound than simply depicting the cruel introspection of the battle between the United States and Vietnam.
Hollywood movies, or films from any country or region in the world, follow one rule, and that is political correctness.
This is especially true for major awards, whether your movie is good or not, high or not at the box office, the first thing must be political correctness, which is the premise for any politically oriented film to win awards.
As I have said before, the Vietnam War has been a pain and scar in the hearts of the American people for many, many years after the Vietnam War until the US-Iraq War was a new war against the war.
After the U.S.-Iraq War, opposing the U.S.-Iraq War was political correctness in Hollywood, just as the bomb disposal unit killed all its opponents that year and won the best picture and best director, which is typical political correctness.
is also like the later Forrest Gump who killed the Shawshank redemption and swept the Oscars, Forrest Gump is politically correct, it is also an anti-war movie reflecting on the Vietnam War, and the Shawshank redemption, although it is really classic and classic, in the eyes of many people, it is much more classic than Forrest Gump, but what is it about, it is about black, about despair, about the system, about the corruption of public officials, although it is about redemption in the end, but it is a person's self-redemption by escaping from prison.
There is no comparison between the two in terms of political correctness, so even if Xiao Shengke's redemption received so many nominations, he didn't win a single award in the end, and the box office was miserable, which can be described as the biggest tragedy.
The political correctness of the field platoon is its biggest winning weapon, and the nominations it received coincided with the last emperor, just like Qiao Feng won the best screenwriter just now, the field platoon also won the nomination.
After awarding the Best Supporting Actor, followed by the Best Actor and Actress Award in the Musical Comedy category, and then the Best Actress Award in the Drama category, when the Best Actress in the Drama category was presented on stage, Liang Jiahui's excited heart that had just been excited by Qiao Feng's award slowly cooled down, and then became nervous again.
Everyone else was nervous, Gong Li stuffed the trophy into Qiao Feng's hand, and then began to pray for Liang Jiahui, because Liang Jiahui was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
As Mary Matlin, who won the Best Actress Award in the Drama category for "The Daughter of a Sad God", walked off the stage, everyone in the crew of the Last Emperor except Qiao Feng fell into extreme tension, and with Bob Hoskins "Mona Lisa" Harrison Ford "Mosquito Coast" Liang Jiahui "The Last Emperor" William Hurt "The Daughter of Pity on God" Jeremy Irons "The Flames of War" Paul Newman "The True Color of Money" One by one, the nominated films and the names of the nominees were read out by the award presenters, and the tension of the crowd reached its highest point.
"Don't be nervous, if you can't get it, you won't be able to get it, just come back next time." Qiao Feng used Fang Cai Li Hanxiang's words to comfort Gu Jiahui to relieve the nervous Liang Jiahui: "You are already the youngest actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the first Chinese to be nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Globe Awards, which is enough to prove your excellence." Qiao Feng said.
"But if I win the award, won't it prove that I am better than I am now?" Liang Jiahui swallowed dryly, and said in a dry voice.
"Amount"
In this regard, Qiao Feng was speechless.
"The winner of Best Actor in a Drama was Bob Hoskins' Mona Lisa, congratulations to Mr. Hoskins."
"Hoo ........"
