With the 71st Golden Globe Awards coming to an end and the 86th Oscars announcing the nominees, the 2013 awards season is reaching its peak step by step, not only in the North American film market, but also in Europe, South America, Australia and Asia.

Hidden behind the glitter and buzz of awards season, the 30th Sundance Film Festival and the 64th Berlinale seem to have been quietly forgotten. Sundance and Berlin are getting more and more difficult in the face of the behemoth of the Oscar season, but they are still unwavering and persistent, sticking to a small hot spot in the art of cinema.

While the entire North American market is hotly discussing the list of Oscar nominees, the annual Sundance Film Festival has quietly kicked off in Park City.

The snow-capped city of Park City is like an ink painting, black and white are intertwined between the gray sky and the earth, and little by little outlines the sharp lines of this small city, the steep cliffs, the towering churches, the winding paths, and the neat houses...... The lines of the world seem to have been blurred under the snow, but they still stubbornly reveal a touch of grandeur.

The cold and gloom of the outdoors were all blocked out of the wooden building of the coffee house, the sound of burning wood in the fireplace added a touch of silence to the slow flow of music, the warm air flowed through the fingertips and the fingertips of the feet, and even the milky yellow light became soft and graceful, breeding a little lazy leisure and coziness in the harsh winter.

Suddenly, the sound of the wind whistled outside the window.

Lan Li's eyes left the book in his hand, raised his head and looked out the window, and then saw the dead branches babbling violently in the cold wind, "Suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom", this seems to be the best portrayal of the beautiful scenery in front of him, only to see that the big "pear blossoms" suddenly fluttered up wantonly with the wind, sprinkled on the ground on the thick snow, deep or shallow left traces of stars, just like the stars falling down in the sky.

Xiao Suo is magnificent, quiet but moving.

A few snowflakes fell again outside the eaves, but it was not clear whether it was snowing again, or if the cold wind had lifted the snow from the forest and cliffs...... The whole world became hazy and trance-like, and then two figures could be seen walking side by side in front of the window, stepping deep and shallow in the snow, their faces filled with excitement and excitement despite the cold wind, and their hands and feet danced and talked, like a warm sun lighting up the winter haze.

"You say, what movie did they just watch?" Rooney Mara sat directly across from Lan Li, and unconsciously, she also put down the book in her hand and looked out along Lan Li's line of sight, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was raised lightly.

Lan Li didn't answer immediately, but carefully observed their expressions, and then said, "'God help the girl'." ”

Rooney's voice immediately raised slightly, "Hey, don't peek at my answers. ”

Lan Li's eyes flowed with a gurgling smile, "Then I'll change the answer, 'Dear white people'." ”

"Oh, why? How could it be that these are two white men so gleefully discussing 'dear white people'?" Rooney asked with interest.

"God Help the Girls" and "Dear White People" are both entries in the main competition unit of this year's Sundance Film Festival, and both have already held their premieres, both of which are the debut films of young directors, and they both show a different perspective in their first work -

The former focuses on a group of teenagers who are suffering from emotional problems and find an outlet in the hospital with music, while the latter focuses on the issue of race in an Ivy League school, discussing the many sensitive issues of contemporary society in a relatively witty and ridiculous black humor approach, of which race is only a part.

Both works have received a lot of praise after their premieres, and the subject matter and expression are not the most common mainstream form in Hollywood now, and the vigor and vitality of new directors can be clearly felt, which is exactly the spirit that the Sundance Film Festival has always encouraged.

At this moment, the two figures outside the window look cheerful and excited, "God Help the Girl" is such a small fresh and healing Scottish work, the camera screen flows with a lazy and casual comfort, after watching the movie can really make people feel happy, and even make people want to hum softly.

Therefore, Lan Li and Rooney's first guess is this work.

"Dear White People" is a different kind of work. Its overall tone is also lighthearted, like discussing a storm in the cup of afternoon tea, the look and experience are very unique, but as Rooney said, in the final analysis, its creative roots are black culture, and for those who do not understand black culture, the differences in viewing caused by the cultural gap are inevitable.

Lan Li lifted her chin slightly, and gestured with her eyes, "That girl, she is dressed in a bohemian style, and the cloth bag on her shoulders is also handmade canvas products, it can be seen that she should be a girl from the middle class or the elite class, and she has her own views on humanitarianism and gender equality." ”

"That's all?" Rooney had already captured the details of what Lan Li had said, but said deliberately with a raised bar.

"Look at the boy again. Lan Li then said.

Rooney actively interrupted Lan Li's words, "That boy doesn't have any characteristics to speak of, he looks like an ordinary college student. ”

"Yes, that's it. He doesn't seem to have many characteristics, just the countless ordinary students in the Ivy League schools, especially those rich kids, suits and ties, athletes, Wall Street heirs, just like twin brothers in the 'social network', they don't need too many ideas, they just need to inherit their father's legacy step by step, and they can rise to prominence for the rest of their lives, so there are hardly too many personality traits in them. ”

Lan Li's words were accurate and sharp, and the information that was originally hidden in the corners gradually became clear, which was exactly the group that Lan Li and Rooney were most familiar with - because they themselves were members of "such a family background", but Lan Li did not hide the complaints and banter in his words at all, which made the smile on the corner of Rooney's mouth can't help but slowly rise.

"But you should notice that boys and girls are constantly expressing their opinions, and it seems that there is a bit of a disagreement, the girls are vaguely gaining the upper hand, and the boys are trying to take a stand. In fact, this is the picture that can often be seen in Ivy League schools such as Harvard University - the rich boy falls in love with the civilian girl who enters the prestigious school by his own efforts, and their thoughts and concepts collide violently. Does this story sound familiar?"

Rooney sensed the smugness in Lan Li's words - if the two of them were watching "dear white people", then it did make sense, but Rooney didn't want Lan Li to be beautiful, and deliberately frowned at Lan Li, "No, in that case, your first answer just now won't be true." ”

If it's "God help the girl", then Lan Li's analysis just now is all nonsense.

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders without minding, "It depends on how you interpret it." Sometimes, the same piece of clothing is blue in the eyes of some people and purple in the eyes of others. There is never a right answer, and the arguments that arise in the search for truth are precisely the driving force for social progress. ”

The smile in Rooney's eyes piled up like this, and she looked at the serious Lan Li in front of her seriously, paused for a moment, and then lowered her voice and said, "Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open, so the nonsense is completely easy to make up, and then others have to believe it?"

Lan Li pursed the corners of her mouth lightly and bowed her head slightly, "So, do you believe it?" This acknowledges Rooney's "accusation".

Rooney was a little surprised, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Lan Li in disbelief, but then thought about it seriously, but found that she couldn't refute it at all: Lan Li just has the ability to make others believe, as if he said that the sun is square, and there is no ridiculous sense of disobedience, but it will make people fall into deep thought.

But...... Isn't that good?

"God!" Rooney said in a deliberately exaggerated expression, lowering his voice and whispering, "Does anyone know that you've been cheating for a living?" Having said that, Rooney's entire cheeks bloomed like a fresh rose, and the joy in her eyes and lips was rippling slightly, "Oh God, I think I'll have to keep a little distance from you from this day forward, I don't want to get involved in any trouble." ”

After speaking, Rooney frowned slightly, furrowed the tip of her nose slightly, made a grimace, shook her head again and again, revealing an expression of "respectful and distant", and cast a disgusted look at Lan Li.

The aroma of coffee spreads between the two people, the milky yellow light slowly flows in the air, and you can faintly feel the warm ambiguous/ambiguous smell fermenting between the lips.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "This lady, I'm afraid it's too late to avoid trouble now." ”

The hoarse and deep voice sounded gently like a cello melody, stirring up layers of ripples in her ears, and then Rooney noticed Lan Li's warm eyes, which slowly fell on her body, hot and gentle, and suddenly her cheeks became slightly hot, and her fingers couldn't help but start curling inward.

The melody in the café was murmuring, and the sound of a heartbeat was heard in my ears: poof, poof.
