David Lynch, as president of the jury at this year's Cannes Film Festival, feels a lot of pressure.

Of course, this Cannes Film Festival also brings together many good films, and basically the world's first-class directors will bring their own works.

Well, it's kind of high-sounding, and generally speaking, most of the films that tend to be commercial and make money don't come to Cannes.

However, now he also has a bit of a headache, because this time there are three works, and personally, he is very, very interested.

The Pianist is Roman Polanski's latest masterpiece about Warsaw during World War II.

You know, Warsaw is a place that has so much meaning for World War II that it is almost synonymous with the murder of Jews.

And this year, it's not far from that 'whole year'.

In other words, the film has a very strong political character.

Of course, Roman Polanski's films will not be a problem, he has always been an artist, so even without that blessing, this film should be absolutely fine.

Samurai is the latest masterpiece from one of the world's hottest Asian directors in recent years, and the film is highly anticipated, not only in Japan, but also around the world.

Why is there such an expectation

One reason is that the Asian director wants to introduce the world to Eastern culture, especially the samurai culture of Japan.

Another reason, of course, is that many of Kusano's previous works have been recognized by fans around the world, and this person's movies will definitely be good.

That's right, there is such a label.

To be honest, David Lynch himself is quite looking forward to it, and even he is very envious of this Asian director.

It's definitely the best thing for a director to make a lot of money all the time!

That's it, although many people classify David Lynch's movies as art, but he also hopes that his films can make more money, and the more they earn, the better.

The reason is very supervised, the more money you make, the more your representatives will be seen, and your work will be appreciated by more people, which is a huge achievement in itself.

Maybe it's the luck of that Kusano director.

Either way, this "Samurai" is a movie worth paying attention to.

Thirdly, there is Sofia Coppola's film, Lost in Translation.

Sofia Coppola is in the eyes of David Lynch, that is, a girl who was unsuccessful as an actress and then took advantage of her fame to become a director.

Well, in fact, David Lynch's relationship with Coppola is okay, and because of this, he is more qualified to talk about that girl.

However, judging from the reaction of the filmmakers to the movie "Lost in Translation", it is really good.

That's right, until now, no one on the jury should have seen the films that were selected, and they all needed to be screened one step in advance.

It's the rule, but it's also something that many people criticize.

In this way, there is an unspoken rule that is quite interesting.

The members of the jury can get in touch with the producers and directors of the shortlisted films.

After all, people are alive, and now everyone hasn't seen how the movie is, so it's okay to talk about it briefly.

In fact, this is what makes David Lynch feel the strangest, he recently met Yuki Kusano.

I was really surprised that this well-known director who didn't appear in front of the public, he took the initiative to come to him.

Another surprise is ...... This Kusano director is indeed very handsome.

No, not this thing, but ...

"Please don't have a special opinion about this movie because of my personal factors......"

Yes, it's such a sentence, this is the most crucial sentence that the two of them talked about.

In short, Kusano wants to say that his social fear should not be a reason to win the award.

It shouldn't even be one of them.

David Lynch swore that he didn't see the slightest bit of performance in Yuki Kusano's demeanor, and his attitude was very sincere, and he just wanted to talk about it.

Actually, it's strange to say that a person doesn't want to be seen as special, as well as his work.

This matter is related to some things at the moment.

The great rise of LGBT in the United States.

David Lynch lives in the United States, and he sees very clearly that there are many people in the United States today who are actually using the LGBT thing, that is, Larry became Lana before.

Therefore, when Yuki Kusano, a director who is recognized as a social phobia, emphasizes that he doesn't want to be treated specially.

This really touched David Lynch a little, even incredible.

So...... This guy is really special.

Well, David Lynch didn't know at the moment that he was probably in an inexplicable trap.

However, even if that is all, there are actually some things that have happened before.

Several high-grossing movies in 2001, among them, "Red Cliff 2", "The Matrix 2" and "The Lord of the Rings", these films have their own characteristics.

However, at the recent Oscars, something very strange happened.

Only the film "The Lord of the Rings" shines at the Oscars.

David Lynch swears that he has watched the "Red Cliff 2", and he personally thinks it is quite good, and besides, he has also watched the "Matrix 2", and he feels that the visual stimulation is very strong.

It must be admitted that "The Lord of the Rings" is indeed a very good movie, but this is only the first one, many plots have not yet unfolded, and compared to the other two sequels, there are not many winners.

The point is that "Red Cliff 2" and "The Matrix 2" have not even been nominated.

What the hell is going on

Thinking about it, as the chairman of the jury, David Lynch felt more pressured on himself.

......

On May 15, the 55th Cannes Film Festival opened.

The opening ceremony is also going to walk the red carpet, but this ceremony is much simpler now, because everyone knows that the closing ceremony has to come again, and the red carpet of the closing ceremony, which is the award ceremony, is the most eye-catching.

Therefore, although the stars are brilliant, I don't know how many world celebrities have arrived, and I don't know how many reporters from many countries have arrived, the atmosphere is not so blazing, but orderly.

You know, there are actually some problems with any activity, which is why security personnel are needed.

But today the security personnel are more relaxed, there are a lot of people, and they still feel like they are facing a great enemy.

Now that I have figured it out, it turns out that among the reporters present, there were the most Japanese journalists.

Why

Kusano's new film "Samurai" will be screened as the opening film of Cannes at today's opening ceremony!

This screening is also the premiere.

Look, the creator of "Samurai" happened to come on the other side of the red carpet.

Gong Li, wearing a white dress today.

The white color is big, which is really a bit powerful.

Tianhai was wearing a very neutral dress, with some retro French taste, and Japanese reporters couldn't help but exclaim after seeing it.

Well, these guys were originally more orderly and didn't shout much, but now it's different.

There's no way, Tianhai is the "Rose of Versailles" that makes people dream back to Takarazuka.

As for Ryoko, it's simple, she wore a very everyday dress in Japan today, a simple dress, a small coat over it and just a pair of pink boots on her feet, giving people a different feeling.

There is no need to describe too much in terms of male characters, Takeshi Kitano is still so fierce, and Tom Cruise is still so handsome.

Of course, there were others, such as Yuki Kusano's royal servants, Abe Kan, and Sanada Hiroyuki, who were also present.

Interestingly, the male stars mostly wear retro suits, i.e. wool material, as well as plaid patterns.

This seems to have a lot to do with the era of movies.

After the main creative team of "Samurai", he is a member of the jury.

David Lynch, he looks like a slightly scruffy white man, with a rather ordinary appearance and a somewhat long face.

As for the other members, the more eye-catching one is Yang Zhiqiong, the previous "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not only red Zhang Ziyi, but also her, a Chinese star.

When the members of the jury have also passed, then just wait to see the opening film.

What kind of movie is "Samurai"?

Bill also came to the scene today, he went deep into the crew to visit the class before, and now he naturally can't miss it.

The finished film of this movie will surprise him

It didn't take long for Samurai to arrive.

At the beginning of the movie, of course, it was Warner and Netflix's labels, and after the past, such words appeared on a shady screen.

Yuki Kusano.

Chinese character.

Afterwards.

Serve!

This is a very large word, and it is written in red.

Perhaps, black and red are the colors that Yuki Kusano likes lately.

It should be said that such a beginning is very imposing, and simplicity is sometimes a kind of beauty.

After the dark curtain passed, a typical Japanese garden appeared.

Many Japanese buildings are modeled after the Tang Dynasty, and this courtyard is very quaint, whether it is the style of the Tang Dynasty in China is not very good.

But it can also be vaguely seen that this building is somewhat low-key gorgeous, whether it is the door or other materials, it is very textured.

In such an environment, a girl appeared.

She was wearing a martial arts uniform with a white top.

There was a wooden knife in his hand, and he was constantly slashing there.

Is she going to be a samurai?

Suddenly, a man sneaked up from behind.

"Ahh

"Yikes!"

When the sound was counted, the girl was weak and knocked to the ground.

But when she saw the man clearly, she couldn't help but shout, "Dousang." ”

It turned out that this man was her father.

However, it is unthinkable that his father has a cold face, and his tone is even more chilling.

"Weak!"

Just one word.

This is the opening scene of Samurai.
