The jury of the main competition at Cannes is generally composed of nine judges from different countries around the world. The professions are also varied, with directors and actors being the most, followed by screenwriters and producers, and occasionally musicians and singers making cameos.

Different countries, different races, different cultural atmospheres, and different professional concepts naturally bring different aesthetics. So in the absence of a crushing film, the discussion of each film is particularly intense.

"In terms of artistry, I think Carol is the best film in competition this year. I want to emphasize that I don't say this because it's a same-sex movie. In fact, I think it's about love itself. ”

Javier Dolan, a newcomer Canadian actor and director, is a very handsome young man. He explained this because he had come out publicly many years ago, so he wanted to emphasize that he did not make a choice because of recognition.

"Yes, Carol is really good artistically. But because of this, its shots and pace are too slow. And in terms of artistry, it seems that "Assassin Nie Yinniang" is more brilliant. ”

One of the judges, Jake Gyllenhaal, who once starred in "Brokeback Mountain", retorted. From the point of view of political correctness, it would be most appropriate for him to speak out.

"I'm sorry, guys. I hope you will think carefully about it, and among the films shortlisted this year, I think the most suitable for the Palme d'Or should be "Wandering Dipan". Sophie Marceau said in a flat tone.

As the only French jury, her main task this year is to remind the jury of the French side's demands.

"Miss Sophie Marceau, what we are talking about now is the film itself, and other considerations can be discussed later. If in comparison, instead of choosing "Wandering Dipan", it is better to choose "Son of Thor". ”

Another female judge, Roshi de Parma, retorted in an equally calm tone. Obviously, she doesn't really agree with the French approach. By the way, I also slapped the brothers, the chairman of the jury.

"Son of Saul" tells the story of the Jewish "contingent" in the "Auschwitz" concentration camp during World War II. And the Coen brothers happen to be Jews.

Well, the Jews of Hollywood, like the descendants of a certain race of radio and television, are in the dominant position.

However, the Coen brothers did not react. Joel Cohen, one of the brothers, turned to a man who looked like G-fat and asked, "Gilmour, what is your opinion?"

The fat uncle named Gilmour heard him call, thought for a few seconds, and then said: "We have to admit that the average quality of this year's shortlisted films can be called the worst ever. But there's one film, which I think even in previous years, is comparable to the last award-winning film. ”

"Oh, which one?"

""Room" is the work of the new Chinese director. Gilmour said seriously: "A few other movies may be excellent in some way." But if you take it all together, it's the one film I'd give the highest score. ”

"Room" ......"

The judges in the room were silent, each with their own positions, but the most basic artistic aesthetics were still there.

A unique perspective from a child's point of view, just the right pace of the narrative, the emotions contained in the theme, and the excellent performance of the actors...... It must be admitted that among the shortlisted films whose overall quality has declined this year, "Room" is indeed the one with the highest overall evaluation.

However, if you think about the final award, more than half of the judges will not vote for this film because it is too simple.

Perhaps because the director has been making commercial films before, the whole film is a simple one-line narrative. It's the kind of movie where you can watch this scene and guess what the next scene will talk about.

It's just that because of the director's excellent narrative ability, as well as the excellent performance of the actors, coupled with the characteristics of the whole theme itself, this presentation process is particularly different.

However, no one spoke out to refute it for a while. Because in this jury, except for the Coen brothers, the most important one is this fat uncle.

Gilmour is a well-known Hollywood director, screenwriter, and producer, "Human-Animal Hybrid", "The Hobbit" and "Pacific Rim" are all his masterpieces. Later, with "The Shape of Water", he won the 90th Oscar for Best Director.

Not to mention that people can win the Oscars, look at the recommended films, this vision is obviously a grade higher than others.

"'The Room' is really good, but it's more about the good performance of the actors. Joel Cohen nodded, but added.

This kind of discussion is never decided at once. Over the next few days, and up to the closing ceremony, the jury will repeat the discussion several times before voting for the winners of each award.

However, although there are differences, the general scope of the film has been divided. "The Wandering Dipan", "Son of Thor", "Assassin Nie Yinniang", "Carol" and "Room", these five are the most promising choices.

As for the other dozen or so films, they have basically been excluded from the awards.

The judges of the jury have their own considerations, and the general audience of the festival also has their own considerations. However, unlike the judges, for most audiences, the watchability of the movie comes first.

When it comes to watchability, the most popular film at this year's Cannes Film Festival is "Mad Max 4: Fury Road", which will be screened from the second day. In just a dozen days during Cannes, 100,000 viewers were swiped.

You know, this is Cannes, the mecca of film art, and the audience here is a fan of cinema for many years. However, even they were all impressed by this adrenaline-pumping film.

The cold media in Cannes also have to admit that this commercial film has attracted more than half of the scenery of Cannes this year.

Half of it is more than half, no matter how you say it, it is just a screening film, and it has no impact on the competition. This is a common complaint of many film directors who participated in the relevant unit competitions.

But they soon found out that among the several films in the competition, there was also one film that attracted more than half of the attention.

"Room", Mu Ming. Since the first day of the festival, these two names have become the two most mentioned words in the mouths of the audience.

Oh no, four names to be exact. There are also "Qiao Yi" and "Wan Qian", which are also circulating among the media and audiences. ()
