What is certain is that "Drunken Country Ballet" and "Gravity" are two very different genres, the latter capable of creating box office miracles in North America, but the former was not destined to reach such heights, as evidenced by the frenzy of midnight and on-demand screenings:

"Drunken Country Ballads" has sparked a wave of discussion among veteran professional fans, and has become the favorite of countless literary and artistic young people and folk lovers, and the authoritative magazines "Village Voice" and "New Yorker" based in Greenwich Village have even listed the screening night as a more grand year-end party than Halloween, but this work has not necessarily won the love and support of ordinary audiences in the market.

Despite this, the popularity of the screenings is still far beyond imagination, and there is no need to compare it with commercial works, but only with artworks that can still be clearly felt!

As the name "Song of the Decadent" goes, "Drunken Country Ballad" is becoming a feast for self-celebration and self-indulgence among losers and artists.

Word-of-mouth and feedback are undoubtedly the most important thing for on-demand films, and "Drunken Country Ballads" is no exception, and everyone is curious to look forward to it: is the praise above the Cannes Film Festival worthy of its name, what about "gravity", and what about the "old and unretired" of the Coen brothers?

In anticipation, the media comprehensive evaluation was the first to be released!

Ninety-six points.

The overall score of 59 media outlets is as high as 96 points, which has set a new high in the Coen brothers' directorial career, surpassing the 91 points of "No One for Old Men", becoming the first top work in their history to exceed 95 points in the media comprehensive evaluation, and at the same time, this is also the third work to reach such a high level in the media comprehensive evaluation this year!

Praise frenzy! Undoubted praise frenzy!

So far, the winner of the annual media comprehensive evaluation is still 99 points in "gravity", which no one can shake, and the second place for the time being is "12 years in slavery", with a score of 96 points. Now, the third installment has appeared, and "The Drunken Country Ballad" has made its debut in an expected but shocking way, strongly announcing that the landscape of the awards season has changed again.

Everyone is looking forward to the outbreak of "drunken country ballads", and Cannes' praise is definitely not just talking, but when the media comprehensive evaluation actually completes the statistics, the exclamations and cheers are still endless.

"It's not a story about success, it's a story about perseverance. The Coen brothers raised their glasses and guitars in homage to those sufferings that led to great art. ”

"He's not a genius, he's not perfect, but he's still on the path of making art. He was alone, but he wasn't. Pay tribute to those unknown losers on the road to the pinnacle of art, and also pay tribute to those losers who have never given up on the road of dreams. Finally, a tribute to the Coen brothers, as well as Ranley Hall. ”

"This is a film that belongs to Ranley Hall. He was quietly on the stage, playing the guitar and singing softly, showing his vulnerability and scars, singing about his difficulties and sorrows, carefully hiding his loneliness and loneliness, he was like an angel who had gathered his wings, walking alone in the dark and damp alleys. Ranley Hall has dedicated a character that transcends the character itself. ”

"Sweet and bitter, humorous and sad. In addition, there are ...... Blue Rite Hall. ”

"This is undoubtedly the most poetic, wonderful, saddest and most moving film of 2013, and the Coen brothers have once again accomplished such a feat, and at the same time, it is undoubtedly the most delicate, profound, beautiful and bitter performance of 2013.

……

Out. Out. Still a perfect score.

Following "Gravity", "Drunken Country Ballads" once again ushered in a warm frenzy of full score swiping screens.

Now, people finally understand why film critics and journalists from all over the world are so excited and excited on the stages of the two international film festivals in Cannes and Venice, and why they are finally able to see why after the Venice Film Festival, everyone is regretting that they are witnessing the moment of history.

Because "Drunken Country Ballads" is a classic masterpiece that can be compared with "gravity", and the types, styles and attributes are all completely different, and all aspects have achieved the glory of the peak moment;

With the release of "Drunken Country Folk Songs", the topic of discussion about "Lan Li's performance in the two works is better or worse" began to boil.

There are those who like "drunken folk songs", and there are also those who support "gravity", which is really difficult to choose.

Many veteran film critics and journalists were asked about the topic, and Bradley Adams, a reporter for The New York Times, posted a lengthy post on his social media account to answer.

"Personally, I very much agree with Michael Phillips of The Hollywood Reporter. 'Gravity' is the best show of the year, while 'Drunken Country Ballad' is the inseparable performance.

From multiple perspectives such as technical level, ideological aftertaste, character stories and plot accents, Lan Li has dedicated a performance worthy of going down in history in 'Gravity', and the performances in many scenes can be slowly scrutinized over and over again, and the shock and baptism will gradually deepen layer by layer. This skill is unmatched in this year's big-screen performance.

But I'll still choose 'Drunken Country Ballads'.

It's been half a year since the Cannes Film Festival, but now I can still remember the eyes of Levien-Davies again, he told a story of giving up and persevering, it was about art, about dreams, and about life.

That's the weight of an era.

Thanks to Lancet-Hall. I'm still willing to give him a standing ovation in the theater. ”

The shock of "gravity", the afterglow of "drunken country ballads", two wonderful works, two unforgettable characters, following EGOT, Lan Li has made persistent efforts to truly dedicate his career to a masterpiece worthy of being recorded in history. When he first achieved EGOT, Lan Li once said: Time will remember the work after all, and now he has left his own special mark in the long river of history, in the way of the work.

In terms of media reviews, "Drunken Country Ballads" has contributed results that are not inferior to "gravity", and Rotten Tomatoes has also ushered in a frenzy of praise.

Ninety-five percent freshness! Mass media score 8.8 points!

The data is clear at a glance, and it can be clearly perceived that the comments of the mass media are not as enthusiastic and crazy as the professional media, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has still achieved incredible praise, but the score is dwarfed, and it is regrettable that it was not able to score nine points in the full score system, and it is indeed a difference in the face of the 96-point media comprehensive evaluation.

This also means that "Drunken Country Ballads" is indeed a more petty bourgeoisie, more niche, more professional and more unique literary and artistic work, and the overall preferences of the mass media and professional media remain the same, but there are obvious differences in the degree of preference, so the score will be further reflected in the film market.

Despite this, the positive reviews of "Drunken Country Balk" are undeniable, and it has also set a small career high for the Coen brothers on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 93 percent freshness rating for "No Country for Old Men" and a 8.7 rating for mass media, both of which are now slightly higher.

IMDB, which reflects the attitude of senior fans and audiences, shows a slight difference, "Old and Helpless" is currently rated at 8.1 points, but because the number of ratings is not enough, it has not been able to enter the list of 250 excellent works;

For veteran movie fans, those who like it can't put it down, from music to acting, from stories to eras, everything is fascinating and addictive, and those who don't feel it have a mediocre reputation, and their attitudes and opinions are surprisingly consistent, "I can feel that this is a great work, but I can't move me." ”

"No Country for Old Men" tells a western story of black crime, reflecting the absurdity and sadness of reality, which can be appreciated without substituting emotions, while "Drunken Country Ballad" is a relatively private dream story, only the soul who has really experienced those ups and downs, sadness and bitterness can empathize, once they cannot immerse themselves in it, then the appeal and shock will be weakened a lot.

This can be seen as the difference between professional media and mass media, as well as the difference in the attitude of IMDB audiences.

Of course, such an analysis is a relatively objective comparative measurement, but just focusing on the work "Drunken Country Folk", then from the media review to Rotten Tomatoes to IMDB, this work has undoubtedly received a lot of praise, especially those who really understand the story of Levine-Davis.

After the official debut of the New York screening, "Drunken Country Folk Songs" soared into the sky, winning unanimous praise with its outstanding strength and solid quality, and it is not inferior to "gravity", which once again proves that the vision of the Cannes Film Festival, more than half a year's super high expectations have not been disappointed after all!

In the backdrop of the scorching attention, the excellent word-of-mouth spread out with an explosive reaction, escorting the "Drunken Country Folk Songs", which not only became the popular seed contestant in this year's awards season in one go, but also achieved incredible results at the box office, further contributing to the awards season.
