Chapter 1077 Oscar
"I just want to say ~~~ thank you very much!"
Standing on the Oscar awards stage, holding the little golden figure that countless filmmakers are crazy about, although it is not the one he wants the most, Song Zheng still can't hide his excitement.
The 82nd Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay has been sitting for nearly two hours, and Song Zheng finally won the first award for "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" this night.
The previous two hours were completely a two-way battle between "Avatar" and "Bomb Disposal Unit", and several technical awards were won by the two crews.
The current score ~~~~~~ 3:3!
"Avatar" won the best cinematography, best visual effects, and best art direction, who knows what the final award will be and what the judging criteria will be.
"Bomb Disposal Unit" won the best editing, best sound effects and best sound editing, originally "Bomb Disposal Unit" was expected to overwhelm "Avatar" before today's awards ceremony entered the climax, but when competing for the award of best original screenplay, it lost to Song Zheng.
Standing on the stage, Song Zheng felt that he suddenly appeared at this time, like a villain who was stirring up the situation.
Because of today's awards ceremony, almost everyone has left a mark on their minds, which is the civil war between Cameron and his ex-wife Bigelow.
Stir up the situation, just stir up the situation!
Song Zheng gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, and continued: "Thank you to my crew members, it is their excellent performances and work that make this story so wonderful, thank my family, thank you for their continued support to me, thank you to the academy for recognizing my work, thank you!"
After Song Zheng finished speaking, he held up the little golden figure formulaically, and the audience also burst into applause very cooperatively.
Back to acting, Xiaojinren was immediately snatched by Zhang Jingchu, and after only watching it for a while, he lost interest.
Song Zheng couldn't help but smile when he looked at it: "I'll wait for you to go up later, but don't show a disgusted look when the time comes!"
Zhang Jingchu pursed her lips, but she still didn't speak.
Then several awards were awarded, and the award ceremony was gradually approaching its final climax.
Among them, the best foreign language film that has attracted much attention was won by the Argentine film "Mysterious Eyes", Song Zheng rarely watches non-Hollywood foreign movies, "Mysterious Eyes" is an exception, as for the reason, after the film was released in China in the previous life, it actually received zero negative reviews.
Therefore, Song Zheng was very curious, he was curious about how the appreciation level of Chinese audiences could increase so much all of a sudden, so he watched it in person, and then found that this film was really as awesome as the legend.
The awesome thing is that even the audience with a low level of appreciation can understand it, and with the fate of the protagonist, they are deeply involved.
The story is about Benjamin Esbohido, a retired prosecutor who is haunted by a rape and murder case 25 years ago.
At that time, Liliana Coloto, a 23-year-old governess, and Riduka Morales, a bank clerk, fell in love, but when they were about to get married, Liliana was raped and killed in her apartment.
At the time, Argentina's domestic judiciary was corrupt, and Benjamin's colleague found a random immigrant to confess the crime, and now he decides to re-investigate the case, only to discover even more shocking truths.
It would be a mistake to think that this is a suspense film, and the corners of the film are full of evocative things. A homicide case involves politics, humanity, friendship, love, life, and life.
The title of the film is called "Mysterious Eyes", and the name is very interesting. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and many things can be read in the human eye.
There are a lot of close-ups of the characters' eyes in the film, the male protagonist's dodging and hesitation, the love and expectation of the female boss, the pain and determination of the victim's husband, the kindness and cuteness of friends, the perverted and lewd evil of the murderer, different eyes, different personalities, and different lives.
The film mentions the political background of Argentina at that time, the bad guys became the speculative victors in that era, when the murderer appeared in the elevator proudly in the posture of a victor, the kind of flying and domineering, no one in his eyes, and what he saw from the eyes of the heroine was deep helplessness and fear. As an audience, I also have a deep anger burning in my heart.
Who else will be able to protect them.
The clumsy Sandwa is the best friend of the male protagonist and a "pig-like teammate", he is always trying his best to give advice, but it is also the key advice he makes that finally catches the murderer Gomoz, this suggestion is: "Listen, Benjamin, people can change many things in their lives, including their appearance, clothing, background, girlfriend, marriage, but there is one thing they can never change, and that is their passion."
Yes, everyone's high point is different, but passion is an innate thing, people will go crazy for it, uncontrolled, and it is a stimulant in life.
It was this dear friend who, at the moment when his life was threatened, still did the most touching thing with the slightest movement.
Turn over the photo of your friend and die for it calmly. This incident also made the male protagonist unable to let go for decades, and he felt extremely guilty, and he even had no face to go to the grave to offer flowers.
In addition, there are two kinds of love in the movie, the male protagonist's hesitant love for the female boss, the lack of A is fear, and the word A is love, which is the voice of the male protagonist. The male protagonist's heart is like that typewriter, missing a letter A, hesitating, afraid, and evading.
The love of the victim's husband is bleak, and as he himself says, his life stopped on the day his wife was tortured and killed. In order to find the real culprit, he waited at the train station for a year.
When the law could not punish criminals severely, he chose to become a law enforcer. Bullets can make criminals feel refreshed, and the most terrible punishment is to deprive a person of their freedom.
For 25 years, in order to complete this long revenge, he chose to live a life of solitude. The most shocking thing is the sentence that the criminal said when he saw the male protagonist, "At least let him talk to me", for 25 years, there has not been a word of accusation and swearing, just indifference and loneliness, which may be the best punishment for a person.
Perfect revenge, this husband was originally just an ordinary bank clerk, but in the face of love, he is a warrior who dares to face the bleak life and dare to face the dripping blood.
The award for Best Foreign Language Film is well deserved.
In addition, there is another point, this time the competition for the best foreign language film does not have the share of Chinese films, it seems that since Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Feng Xiaogang switched careers to make commercial films, Chinese directors have no competitiveness in the world.
"Robert De Niro!"
When the lottery guests on the stage read out the name of Robert De Niro, the old guy jumped up, and regardless of whether Song Zheng wanted it or not, he hugged him directly, and then walked quickly onto the podium in a crowd of sincere or fake congratulations.
Robert De Niro is no stranger to that stage, he once stood on it as an actor, but this time it is obviously different, although De Niro is still filming in recent years, but compared with previous years, the workload has been significantly reduced, everyone knows that the old man is preparing to retire, and at this time, he will harvest a little golden man, no wonder the old man is so excited.
"This is an unexpected compliment, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to walk on this stage today, I~~~~"
De Niro was already a little incoherent.
Song Zheng looked at him, and then looked at a few defeated frustrations, in fact, if Song Zheng was asked to choose the best supporting actor, he would definitely not vote for De Niro, and certainly not Christopher Waltz, who had the highest voice.
If Song Zheng were to choose, he would choose Stanley Tucci, the famous Hollywood all-rounder, actor, director, screenwriter, producer, music producer, and seems to have the identity of a writer.
As an actor, in fact, he doesn't have any achievements, but in the movie "Lovely Bones", the perverted murderer he plays is really vivid, and even Song Zheng couldn't help but shudder when he watched this movie.
When I saw Stanley Tucci, I naturally saw the big fat man sitting with him, the amazing director Peter Jackson from New Zealand, and the Chinese audience gave him a domineering nickname, Peter the Great.
Peter Jackson, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, once weighed as much as the Chinese national treasure, Kung Fu Panda, was embarrassed by the fact that even the Chinese national treasure, Kung Fu Panda, was embarrassed.
So much so that many people still believe that Peter Jackson's miraculous talent comes from his miraculous weight. But what's even more amazing is that Peter Jackson actually used the kung fu of shooting a movie to successfully get rid of 35 kilograms of fat.
This also makes every hair on Peter the Great's body seem to exude an infinitely fascinating magical charm, from the magical country of the southern hemisphere, showing a magical talent, a magical growth resume, a magical weight, and a more magical weight loss experience.
As a director, Peter Jackson can be said to be a super geek, because he is only interested in those things with a strange atmosphere, he has been obsessed with fantasy since he was a child, and he loves magic and ghosts fiercely, and the "Lord of the Rings" series has finally become a classic because he exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.
This time, Peter Jackson brought the film, although not as whimsical as "The Lord of the Rings", but also beyond the imagination of ordinary people, "Lovely Bones" is a best-selling film adaptation of the same name written by the American Alice Sieberd, tells the story of a 14-year-old, eccentric, lively, and adorable girl Susie, who was lured by her ill-intentioned neighbor Harvey to a hidden house under the corn on the way home.
The narrative of the story is very special, and the first sentence of the movie is: "My name is Samon, like the name of a fish. My name is Susie. I was killed when I was 14 years old, on December 6, 1973, and I was still alive, I was living in my own perfect little world. In my heart, I knew none of this was perfect. My murderer is still my demon, and my father can't forget it. I waited for justice, but it did not come. ”
At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist died, and then the story led to memories through a large number of memories, and it is very sensational to tell people and things, which may be a common way in many movies, but "Lovely Bones" is very special, The protagonist is dead, But the timeline of the story does not go backwards, but still moves forward normally, Susie goes to heaven, has to accept the reality that she is dead, and can only be in that place where "life is only a permanent yesterday", Like a fish floating in the sky, Overlooking this world she was attached to but had to leave.
In fact, since her death, she has begun a fantastic journey of death, although she has died, but she can still know what is happening in the world, she has some delicate relationship with the world, she can't be like Nicolas Cage in "City of Angels" That shuttles between the world and heaven, and can change things in the world, but all kinds of things are a luxury for her, she can't change anything, she can't kill the murderer, she can only watch her father hurt in vain, and the family is immersed in the grief of losing her, but she subtly affects her family with an invisible thing, this is love, she finally let her family gradually go to sadness and get on the right track of life.
Ray and Susie in the story should really like each other, otherwise Susie died, and Ray still remembered it, at the end of the film, Susie possessed Bailey, and Ray completed a kiss in the world, and then Ray burst into tears, it can be seen that Ray is sincere to Susie and likes it from the bottom of his heart, but Susie has not had time to go on his first date and returned to the sky, which is indeed suffocating. True love after death is always helpless.
Susie's love for her family is very deep, her love for her parents, her love for her younger siblings, she affects the family in another world, with her love, when she first stepped into another world, she also has hesitation and fear and anger, and with the change of mood, she wants to put her family on the right track of life.
The ending of the murderer in this film can be described as a fatalistic ending, the "girl killer" Harvey fell off the cliff and died like a zombie, in which Peter the Great used this to illustrate the theory of good and evil, "the wicked will eventually be rewarded with evil".
Maybe this is fate, in fact, when the tip of the ice falls, everyone thinks that it will go straight to the murderer's head, but I didn't expect this to be just a trigger, and falling off the cliff is the main reason, but anyway. It is fate that the wicked have evil retribution, which is still very pleasant.
Peter the Great said of the film: "Lovely Bones has so many emotions and life experiences that we have experienced or will experience that there must be a trace of resonance in the depths of memory. ”
Actually, what exactly is a cute bone?
What is the moral of this film?
Song Zheng's understanding is the director's perception of this adapted movie, people, there are as gorgeous as summer flowers in life, and as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves in death, even if there is a tragic unbearable in the past, in the future, it will eventually pass, even if there are thousands of broken bones, there is also a day of longevity, the dead soul, no matter how attached to the earthly world, there is also a day when it ascends to heaven, looking back on the life that was once real, falling in the dusty memory, when the pain leaves, the hatred is relieved, the living are found, and the dead rest in peace. Forget the pain of the past, believe that every defect in life will be made up for by beauty, and welcome a new day.
Just like the mutilated souls in the film, they finally embarked on the road to heaven, Susie's first kiss was perfectly realized in the last moments of entering heaven, and the family also cheered up from their grief and entered a normal life trajectory, which can be described as a happy new sign, these beautiful new signs are called "lovely bones".
The color contrast of this movie is stark, and the colors of heaven are gorgeous and colorful, warm tones, a bit like "Dreams Come True", colorful. Far beyond human imagination, there are no cornfields that symbolize crime and cruelty. And the other world is cold, cold, and dark. In Chinese culture, red means festive, but in Western culture, red symbolizes bad things, and the murderer Harvey pulls down the red curtains, which means crime and sin.
Peter the Great's obsession with special effects is also reflected in this film, and the gorgeous scenery of paradise can reflect the exquisite special effects of this film.
In addition, this movie also uses a lot of montage shots to show suspense, fantasy and other colors, and the best place to reflect the suspense is the part where Susan goes to Harvey's house to steal evidence, which can really provoke the audience's adrenaline.
Although this film is marked as a thriller, there is no very terrifying picture, and the director uses a lot of cut shots to avoid the audio-visual impact brought by the rape and corpse scenes, and instead Susie's tearful eyes unconsciously disturb the peace of the viewer and play a thrilling role.
The film is based on an adaptation that has been hailed as "the least likely film adaptation" After watching the whole film, I feel that the adaptation is very successful, a large number of special effects interpret Susie's state of mind to a certain extent, and it also accurately indicates the theme, this is a successful work, and the actors' performances are also very exciting, especially Saoirse Ronan who plays Susie, who completed this mission very well, and of course the homicidal Stanley Tucci, to be honest, his weight in this play is definitely greater than that of Susie's father played by Mark Wahlberg.
"Lovely Bones" also occupied several positions on the previously announced nomination list, but unfortunately it was born at the wrong time, and the opponents it encountered this time were too strong, and it could only end up with a companion.
The competition for Best Supporting Actor has settled, and then it's time for Song Zheng to be nervous, he turned his head to look at Zhang Jingchu, who wanted to give some encouragement, but found that Zhang Jingchu's expression didn't detect a trace of emotional fluctuations, as if he was a bystander, and that calmness was not pretended at a glance.
