Chapter 67: Unprecedented Repercussions
The moment Truman stepped into that door, the screening room, which was supposed to be quiet, suddenly set off a burst of applause, that is, spontaneous, applause that wanted to celebrate Truman, and there were even a lot of cheers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just like on the big screen, the audience in "Truman's World" is also cheering for Truman's successful departure and hugging wildly.
At this moment, it seemed that the whole audience became Truman, and when the movie ended, the entire audience seated in the screening hall stood up.
Applause, applause.
In the eyes of all the audience at the scene, they were moved by the movie in their hearts, and they were moved by Truman who did not hesitate and moved forward bravely, and the applause at this moment was not enough to express the shock that this movie brought them.
It's really a shock from the heart!
Like "The Redemption of Qincheng", which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, now that the screening of the Chinese film "Truman's World" has ended, the audience has understood this story, this bizarre but very realistic story.
"It's so exciting, I didn't expect it to be such a wonderful movie. ”
"I can't believe it, this movie is really wonderful, it's great. ”
"It's definitely the best film at this year's Venice Film Festival, and without a doubt, it's the best film, it's fantastic, it's really amazing. ”
……
Lin Huiyi and the others, who were standing beside Bai Yi, listened to the audience's discussions, and there was an irreducible sense of excitement in their hearts.
When they finished watching the movie, they were also moved by the movie, but as actors in the movie, after hearing the audience give a very high evaluation of the movie, the warm applause at this moment is what they really like.
Lin Huiyi grabbed Bai Yi's arm tightly, looking at such an enthusiastic response at the scene, her expression was excited, this is a real movie, this is an excellent movie.
Watching those audiences cheer for their work, Lin Huiyi really realized at this moment that it feels so good to make a good movie. After the premiere of the movies she made before, there had never been such warm applause at the scene, and the audience stood up, and the applause has not stopped until now.
Those foreign media reporters and fans all gathered around, and at this moment Lin Huiyi felt that she was an actor and should really enjoy the attention at this time, not on the red carpet of the film festival.
It's a really nice feeling to see foreigners cheering for their performances.
This unprecedented experience really opened a door for Lin Huiyi.
"Director, you're amazing, this movie is really wonderful. ”
Although her acting skills have always been criticized, she has acted in the drama for many years, as the heroine of this movie, and now that she has really watched this movie, Lin Huiyi is also very excited, and she still has the pictures and plots in the movie in her mind.
Chen Ming and others were also very proud and proud, watching the audience, film critics, major media reporters, and some film festival judges applauded, and the indescribable pride in their hearts made them really feel very good.
Because this is applause from the heart, and this is the charm of the movie.
Qu still looked at Lin Huiyi holding Bai Yi's arm, with an excited look, and a smile on her face, looking at Bai Yi, she was also very proud of Bai Yi.
Bai Yi glanced at Lin Huiyi's excitement, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just the beginning now, I don't know what will happen next?"
"Don't worry, this movie will definitely win awards, definitely!"
Lin Huiyi said with great certainty.
Now that she has watched the movie "Truman's World", others will talk about her masterpiece in the future, and she can say the movie "Truman's World" without hesitation, even if this movie does not win an award, this will be her masterpiece.
Of course, "Truman's World" will definitely win the award.
Lin Huiyi thought so in her heart, and the audience and film critics also thought the same.
……
It stands to reason that the films in the main competition unit have not yet been screened, but now that I have watched the Chinese film "Truman's World", everyone thinks that this is the best film of the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.
When the movie ended, they wanted to say something to evaluate "Truman's World", but they couldn't find the words to describe their truest feelings at the moment.
It was a shock that cannot be described in words!
It's really a very strong impact.
This is a somewhat absurd and very untrue story, but the shots and stories in the movie seem so real, giving people a very strong sense of reality and substitution, which can be said to be a legendary story.
In this movie, the audience and critics have too many feelings.
Because this film brings them so many unspeakable feelings, this can be said to be a comedy, a comedy with black humor, but at the same time it can be said to be a horror thriller.
That sense of horror, thriller, now that the movie is over, in retrospect, it will make people shudder. For the sake of a reality show, almost the whole world is taking it for granted that a person is deprived of the world, including his parents, wife, friends. There is no moral bottom line, no law, no human rights, and a life is taken away just because many people are concerned.
What a terrible thing this is!
Film critics can't bear it anymore, and they now want to put their feelings, even if they can't say it all, and they very much hope to be able to recommend this "Truman's World" to all fans of the Venice Film Festival, to everyone, and tell this wonderful and moving Truman story.
……
At the end of the premiere of "Truman's World" at the Venice Film Festival, the Chinese film "Truman's World" became the focus of the Venice Film Festival in an instant.
Film critics, the major film media are now like crazy, and they have not hesitated to give a very high evaluation of "Truman's World".
In terms of foreign film media, the official house book of the Venice Film Festival, many film critics have praised "Truman's World", such a situation has actually shocked many audiences.
You must know that film critics have always prided themselves on being critics of films, even if it is a work made by some film masters, they may not buy it, and now Bai Yi, a Chinese director who was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival for the first time, is so powerful, and "Truman's World" has so many film critics who praise it, and there are very few negative reviews, which is really incredible.
Of course, there are very few film critics who find fault with the movie, thinking that the movie "Truman's World" has too many loopholes.
But even this did not change the result of the admiration of "Truman's World".
In this piece of praise, in fact, there are some sharp and critical film critics who have recommended this "Truman's World" in their own film reviews, scoring a high score of 3.9, directly claiming: "This is not Truman's story, this story is not false, it is very true, because this is the story of each of us." Set, restricted, imprisoned, the protagonist lives in this environment for 30 years without knowing it. Such a plot is very bizarre and absurd, but it is the world in which each of us lives, and each of us is imprisoned. Everyone is Truman, the difference is that Truman eventually walked out of his world, and most of us will be in it for the rest of our lives. Everyone lives in a set world, can find traces of 'set' in the life around them, and also has dreams that are difficult to achieve in the set world, just like Truman's Fiji, but most people are like Truman in the first half, unable or unable to go out of their own world to pursue their dreams. ”
Well-known film magazines such as "The Screen" and "Sight and Hearing" have also given "Truman's World" very high praise, praising "Truman's World" as a black comedy of great practical significance, and it can also be called a comedy horror film.
Of course, these are actually just visible at a glance on the surface, and there are still a lot of things worth exploring and discussing in this movie.
Now, the critics of the Venice Film Festival seem to be starting to dig into the film "Truman's World", and there are many layers to it, whether it is freedom and resistance.
In the eyes of critics, "Truman's World" is a different and creative film, with thought-provoking, heartfelt content and humor that makes people laugh.
Many film critics even wrote directly: "This Chinese-language film has many layers, it is not an ordinary Chinese-language film, the script of the film itself can be said to be an extraordinary idea, coupled with Bai Yi's performance as a Cannes actor, it can be said that it is a wonderful and great work." "Truman's World" is an inspiring, thought-provoking black comedy that reflects human hopes and anxieties, and the whole film is like a complex philosophical dilemma. Existence and nothingness, materialism and idealism, the objective world and subjective initiative...... A lot of philosophical terms can be read from the video. Therefore, the themes reflected in the film are also quite complex. There is a satire of a false society and false feelings, all of whom are fake, including their relationships, and they cannot be trusted, there is a conjecture about the spiritual life of people in the future, if the story takes place in the future society, and there is a criticism of people's viewing tastes, which is a thing that is inhumane, but people watch and pay attention to it with great interest......
Of course, what the film wants to reflect is the beautiful ideal of 'man conquers the sky' that has been passed down since ancient times, just like the ship driven by Truman in the movie crashed into the sky, that picture is so beautiful, Truman saw through the lie, escaped skillfully, and finally found the exit without fear and danger, and stepped out with unimaginable courage. Here, man wins over the sky. And the revelation left to the audience is even more meaningful. To paraphrase a question and answer from the film: 'Why doesn't Truman know what kind of world he lives in?' because we all accept reality. ’”
The film not only uses various coincidences or some accidental flaws to show that Truman sees through the lies, but also adds elements of love to make the film more touching. At the same time, the film also moved the backstage to the front of the stage, shouting 'goofs and reasoning' to participate in the filming of the film. The world is a huge studio, the creator is the director, and all the people in the world are actors. This kind of practice of bringing the filming skills, the shooting process, and the crew to the screen is very innovative. “
……
In addition to his appreciation of the plot of the movie, Bai Yi is full of comedy in this movie, and his free performance is also highly praised.
Truman, played by Bai Yi now, is the same as the boy Cole played fourteen years ago, stunning and his performance is perfect.
In fact, the Venice International Film Festival has always attached great importance to artistic films, and in the photography of "Truman's World", the lens processing can be said to be a very special point, which makes many film critics talk about it and give a very high evaluation.
"Film narrative, like all forms of human narrative art throughout history, is inevitably linked to the power structures of various societies, and becomes a presentation or rebellion against similar social structures. Just as in everyday life or language narrative art, the power structure of society is presented as the possession or deprivation of discourse power between the characters in the work, in film, the possession or non-possession of viewpoint and viewpoint lens becomes the visual counterpart of the possession and deprivation of discourse power...... In the narrative practice of film, not all characters have equal right to speak - to occupy the viewpoint shot. It can be said that in the screen world of the feature film "Truman's World", the power relationship between the characters is first presented as the power to see and be seen. "Truman's World" makes extensive use of camera point of view shots. The protagonist of the movie, Truman, is the protagonist of a popular reality TV show, and is filmed by cameras all the time from birth to the age of thirty without knowing it. Truman's life under secret filming is the main object of the film, which determines that the camera point of view lens has become the main lens expression of the movie, according to statistics, the camera point of view lens accounts for more than 30% of the whole film. The camera occupies the center of the viewpoint, and the camera is the party that 'sees' and has a controlling position, while Truman does not occupy the viewpoint lens, but is the party that is 'seen' and the object of control. The director uses the relationship of 'seeing and being seen' to accurately reflect the situation in which the protagonist is completely manipulated and designed. “
In addition, the film uses the change of perspective to show Truman's process from being controlled and designed to rebelling and fleeing. At the beginning of this film, the film shows Truman talking to the camera before going out in the morning, or the mirror, through the TV screen and the TV frame: close-up, camera viewpoint, parallel shot, and the picture is still, at this time Truman is filmed and broadcast live without knowing or changing consciousness. The second half of the same scene in the movie becomes, Truman faces the mirror and draws an alien on the mirror with soap while whistling. At this time, the performance on the camera was still the camera's point of view, but an important change was that Truman began to take action to challenge the camera. Truman's painting of aliens on the mirror represents his attempt to dismantle the control of the camera, a rebellion against the subjective point of view of the camera. “
"Truman's awakening and rebellion are second manifested in the language of the camera, and the instability of the lens is constantly increasing. The content of Truman's gradual awakening and rebellion is manifested in the language of the film lens as the camera's point of view gradually loses balance and loses control. The camera shake is intensified. Later, Truman sailed on the sea full of lightning and storms created by director Li Ke, and the shaking of the camera reached the extreme, which also means that the control position of the camera is collapsing sharply, and the camera is still the point of view of the picture, but it has existed in name only. “
"At the end of the film, Truman and the director 'have a 'dialogue in the air'. After Truman said that classic greeting to Li Ke, a close-up of the elevation angle single close-up shows Li Ke's disappointment. In fact, this is similar to the way the film begins to show Truman. Truman, on the other hand, bows to the director or the audience from the camera's point of view, and then walks through a completely dark door. The camera's point of view eventually lost control of Truman completely, and the only object of its performance was the disappointed Li Ke. “
"Director Bai Yi is undoubtedly able to skillfully use the viewpoint lens to express the film, which can be said to be very good, and the story is told through the lens, and this film deserves the Golden Lion Award. “
……
This is the difference between foreign film reviews and foreign news media reviews, which are more professional. This film review can be said to be a real analysis of the lens language in "Truman's World".
But as the critics said, "Truman's World" is not only the wonderful plot of the movie, but also the lens language, as well as the initial memories and flashes of the shots.
In terms of filming and artistic processing of the movie, "Truman's World" is undoubtedly very good.
In a water city like Venice, there has always been an artistic atmosphere, whether it is the art of film storytelling or the art of film shooting, it is obvious that "Truman's World" has both.
Now, after the premiere of "Truman's World" in Venice, the water city, the response is unprecedented, and it really set off a storm.
Fans and audiences at the Venice Film Festival lined up in long lines to see the movie "Truman's World".
After watching it, fans and audiences naturally praised it, and there were constant heated discussions. It can be said that "Truman's World" is really shocking to them, this is a real movie, and everyone can see their own shadow in this movie.
As the critics say, each of them is a Truman.
……
The unprecedented repercussions from abroad have naturally been transmitted back to China long ago, and it stands to reason that the domestic media will be more enthusiastic and hype up such a proud and proud thing.
But the slap in the face that Bai Yi said before has already begun, starting from the time he was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.
Because they knew that they had been slapped in the face a long time ago, the domestic media would not care about any face, and they sang praises to Bai Yi's self-directed and starred movie "Truman's World", completely forgetting how they belittled "Truman's World" in the first place, and bombarded this as a bad movie piled up with commercials.
Or rather, they have selectively forgotten how they belittled it in the first place, and in order to gain news attention, they reported and attacked it without principle and without factual basis.
"Entertainment City" - "Truman's World" made a shocking appearance at the Venice International Film Festival, the legendary story, Truman's real and false world, after its release at the Venice Film Festival, the response was unprecedented, and the praise was overwhelming!"
"Southern Metropolis Daily" - "Jointly produced by Light and Shadow Company and China Film Group, directed and starring Cannes actor Bai Yi, the two goddesses Lin Huiyi and Qu are still joined, and the film "Truman's World" starring Chen Ming, the Golden Goblet Award actor, as the only Chinese film shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, has set off a boom at the Venice Film Festival. ”
"Film Weekly" - ""Truman's World" made a shocking appearance at the 85th Venice Film Festival, and the scene was thunderous applause and cheers!"
……
The domestic media have reported one after another, which seems to be exaggerated, but in fact it is far more than that, because "Truman's World" has really received an unprecedented response in Venice!
