Film festival films are usually accompanied by English subtitles.

In any international film festival, hundreds of films are screened, and these films come from dozens of different countries, speaking a variety of languages, and translation becomes a necessary process, and English is the best choice!

Generally, in addition to the main competition unit, other screening units, midnight viewing or something, there is really nothing to see...

Master screenings don't count!

The master unit will really invite the master to the scene!

Sometimes think about a certain Bing as a judge, can she understand a movie with English subtitles?

How to vote?

……

"The Bursting Drummer" was the opening film, and the screening was selected in the 2,000-seat hall.

There are a lot of media, and they all want to identify the quality of the opening film!

In recent years, the opening films selected by the Venice Film Festival have won the Oscar for Best Picture very cleverly!

"Spotlight", "Birdman", "Artist", "Bomb Disposal Unit"...

Focus: This time, the main promotion of "Burst Drummer" has cost a lot!

In the front row, Damien Chazelle was a little nervous.

This is his first feature film written and directed...

Shen Ming quickly noticed the director's strange appearance, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile...

"It's okay, I'm confident in myself!"

“…”

Pretending to be calm, this sentence is probably used to describe him!

Shen Ming didn't communicate with him much, "Burst Drummer", he hadn't seen it either...

Except for the director himself, no one has watched the full version of the film in advance!

……

"The Crackling Drummer" is considered a personal biography of Damien.

As a young man, Damien was fascinated by jazz, when he met an extremely strict teacher, and in order to make the teacher approve of him, he could practice almost eight hours a day without sleep or food, until his hands were bleeding and his knees were injured, and he was almost insane.

Of course, he later gave up because he knew he didn't have the talent for it!

If divided by genre, what genre does "Burst Drummer" belong to?

Inspirational?

Definitely not!

The reason why inspirational movies are turned into genres is that it reveals the immutable law of ordinary people's rebellion against the environment and thus becoming better people, without exception, it is a process of "realizing dreams"!

And what about "Burst Drummer"?

At the beginning of the film, there is a focused long shot: Andrew sits alone at the end of the hallway. He wears a white T-shirt, which seems to be draped in a white angelic halo under the white light above his head.

The silent corridor in dark blue tones creates an empty space in the foreground, and the camera moves very thoughtfully so that the viewer can see the angelic boy.

This shot slowly zooms in, and it is Andrew, played by Shen Ming, who is practicing hard.

Then J· Terrance Fletcher, played by K. Simmons, slowly emerges from the shadows and is filled with a mysterious dark aura in his first appearance.

The two appear in the same composition, and even if you don't understand what they say, you can feel Fletcher's strong momentum and Andrew's weakness...

Damien photographed J· K. Simmons uses a close-up perspective with a slight upward shot, which can easily give people a strong feeling!

Shen Ming is shot with a flat-angle lens or with J· K. Simmons' point of view, overhead...

"Tomorrow in the rehearsal hall!"

Leaving a word, Fletcher leaves...

According to the general pattern, at the beginning, 19-year-old Andrew was caught by his mentor Fletcher and entered the regular band, and then Andrew would be spurred by his teacher Fletcher, although he experienced a series of failures, but finally achieved the ultimate success with perseverance and achieved a career.

Happy ending!

That's the standard motivational film!

If "Burst Drummer" is a musically talented drummer who blooms his talent under the pressure of his mentor, and then realizes his life ideals, Shen Ming probably won't accept it, let alone perform it so hard!

One step further, if Andrew realizes that he has become less like himself, and then leaves the stage and returns to reality, it will become the male version of "The Queen Wears Prada", and Shen Ming will not feel so much;

The magic of this movie is that Andrew was assimilated under the pressure of Fletcher!

He has also become a madman!

"I'd rather die at the age of 34 but be remembered for the sake of music, have a broken family, drink and take drugs, and die at the age of 34 but be remembered, rather than have a family fortune and a safe life but not be known!"

For the sake of musical 'dreams'?

No, he just wants to prove himself!

The director portrayed Andrew's efforts very carefully:

The drumstick made the hand grind the skin, leaving blood, and Andrew just tore open a Band-Aid, stuck it on the tiger's mouth, and continued to practice;

He used ice water to cool his hot and bleeding hands to stop the bleeding, and then continued his practice;

Even if he had a car accident, he still chose to run back to the stage, knowing that the performance had been messed up, he still trembled and picked up the drumsticks that fell on the ground, which can be described as a tribute to the enthusiasm of a drummer with blood, which is not sensational...

At the end of the performance, Fletcher temporarily changed the tune, and the rest of the band calmly came up with the score of the new song, and Andrew was confused...

Because he hadn't practiced this piece at all!

Why did Fletcher change the tune on the fly?

He's going to ruin Andrew!

Why ruined him?

Because Andrew caused him to lose his job!

In order to catch up with the performance, after Andrew was hit by a car, his first idea was to ask the driver to take him to the theater, and when he arrived at the theater, he couldn't help but force himself on the stage and started playing the drums, but in the end he fell on the stage because he couldn't support it, and blood was sprinkled all over the drum surface.

Because of this incident, Fletcher was reported for abusing students and losing his position as a university teacher...

So, he holds a grudge!

After Zhang Huang was kicked off the stage in a panic, Andrew returned to the stage with hatred, regardless of it, and led the band to play CALAVAN!

This performance starts with 'Grass and Mud Horse'!

This drum song, of course, is beautiful...

It's very strange that Fletcher actually cooperated with Andrew and completed this performance with dedication...

Then, the movie came to an abrupt end...

There are only the complicated eyes of the lonely father and the drum surface splashed with blood;

Only half of Fletcher's smiling face above the nose and a little joy that Andrew squeezed out in great pain...

……

When the movie ended, the whole scene was quiet for several seconds!

Jin Chen, who was sitting in the back row, was shocked!

She hadn't seen this kind of movie...

Not to mention the plot, just Shen Ming's performance, the submissiveness at the beginning, the impersonal nature in the middle part, and the character explosion in the final stage are handled very cleanly!

The most impressive thing is the blood stains on the drum surface... And his relationship with J· K Simmons explode foul language with each other and greet each other's mothers...

Although China also promotes devil education, there is no such thing!

There was a chilling feeling!

She secretly glanced at Shen Ming's location, and then saw him and the crew come on stage to be interviewed by the media...

"Whoa!"

There was applause at the scene, the audience stood up and applauded for more than a minute, and the president of the festival, Alberto Barbera, including several judges of the jury of this film festival, applauded warmly...

European film festivals love this iconoclastic narrative the most!

To be iconoclastic is to be anti-Hollywood!
