Chapter 44: The Sorrow of the Times

When the Palme d'Or winner was announced, the camera focused on Xu Hui.

There was an inexplicable sarcasm on his face...

LGBT is in full swing, and the world, especially Europe, which claims to be the birthplace of modern civilization, is in full swing, and the Cannes Film Festival, as the birthplace of avant-garde art, must encourage same-sex!

From this point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong with "Adele's Life" winning the Palme d'Or!

However, "Cinema Paradiso" alas, grass mud horses!

If there is a problem with the movie itself, he is convinced!

Are these two movies of the same grade?

Damn, there are unspoken rules all over the world!

When the French director took the stage to accept the award, there was a burst of boos from the media booth, which embarrassed Abdai Kosich a little, but he quickly stabilized his mind...

Lao Tzu won the award, don't beep if you group of LO B...

……

In fact, compared with "Cinema Paradiso" and Xu Hui, there are too many unsuccessful works in this year's Cannes.

Polanski's "Venus in Fur", Sorrentino's "The Beautiful City", not a single award!

That's Polanski, who made "The Pianist", the winner of the Oscar for Best Director!

Sorrentino's "The City of Beauty" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film...

"Adele's Life" won the Palme d'Or, which is so special!

Gay themes are the mainstream of this Cannes...

The Cannes Film Festival has never been short of daring works, but it is rare to be able to shoot a lesbian subject to such an "open and honest meeting", and it is also beyond the reach of similar films. Director Abdai Kosish doesn't mind that "Adele's Life" is questioned for being too heavy, but he hopes that film critics will not encroach too much on the film, hoping that it will be released in more countries, "This movie is cosmopolitan and pure love." Regarding the evaluation of the lesbian sex scenes between the two female lead actors in the play, he said, "They are artists. ”

Not only that, in the "Un Certain Regard" section of the Cannes Film Festival, the French film "Stranger by the Lake" won the Best Director Award for Alain Guihoudi, which is also a gay film.

It can only be said that this is the sadness of the times!

To be honest, if Xu Hui really takes "Carol" to the competition, the Palme d'Or cliff will be nine out of ten!

Of course, after this Palme d'Or, in order to eliminate the anger of fans, Cannes added a new unit, called the Gay Theme Film Unit...

In other words, movies that reflect gay love in the future can only run for the 'Gay Palme d'Or'...

Of course, "Adele's Life" does have a lot of fans, for example, Spielberg, the chairman of the jury, said in an interview with reporters: This movie tells a very beautiful love story, its beauty transcends the embarrassment caused by some of the sex scenes, it shows a very deep love, and we are attracted by the unique charm of the film.

Judge Christian Mongi said that the film has a strong sense of realism, and when creating art, we should try to break through the limitations.

French "Premiere": a rare love tragedy so intense, and at the same time it is also a political film. Through the fiery love between two women, the film asks questions about class relations, living habits, personal differences, and the gaze of others.

……

"Paradise Cinema", as a big hit, actually lost to "Adele's Life", and many fans expressed incomprehension.

The media also interviewed many judges.

Ang Lee is still mild-mannered: even the Oscar for Best Picture can't convince all fans, the Palme d'Or is even more likely, it's that I prefer "Cinema Paradiso" in comparison...

It's an established fact that it's useless!

"I kind of regret it!"

Facing the media interview, Xu Hui showed a wry smile.

"Why?"

"I should arrange a same-sex love for Duoduo, in that case, "Cinema Paradiso" should be able to win the award!"

The reporter was very excited, and it is rare to see a director who dares to speak so loudly: "So you think that Cinema Paradiso is not because of the movie itself, but because of LGBT?"

"I didn't say that, but the tastes of the judges are really different from those of the audience, so I'll make more movies that meet the audience's tastes in the future. ”

"You're against LGBT?"

"Of course I don't object, to be honest, comrades have nothing to do with me, I don't discriminate, and I don't feel how noble it is..."

Gay, it.

After expressing his dissatisfaction, Xu Hui left the movie palace.

Full of anticipation, I took over the halberd and sank in the sand...

……

The Guardian: "Cinema seems to be more than just a movie, we often say that the Oscars must be politically correct, and when it's Cannes' turn, do you have to be politically correct? Everyone knows that Cinema Paradiso is a good movie, and its overall quality is definitely higher than all the films in this Cannes, love ends in vain, the theater collapses, and the imperfect perfection is not perfect; We admit that this is also a good work, very avant-garde and bold, but in addition to these, should the film have more pursuits?"

"The Screen": "Xu Hui, the director of "Cinema Paradiso", said in a joking tone, 'If you design a gay love for Duoduo, you should be able to win the award!' Although it is a joke, it can also be said in a word, "Adele's Life" took the Palme d'Or, in addition to the movie itself, I am afraid that more is the subject of the movie and the hour-long sex * scene in the middle of the period!"

The Hollywood Reporter clearly stated: This is the sadness of the times!

Sitting on the plane, Xu Hui flipped through a bunch of reports.

Most of them are crying out for "Cinema Paradiso".

Although director Abdai Kosych himself thinks that "Adele's Life" is a work full of art, in the eyes of the audience and many media, it is an A-film with a plot!

"Cinema Paradiso" can beat each other regardless of the theme it wants to express and the shooting techniques, including the cast.

The praise also surpassed it.

But he lost the Palme d'Or...

How can this Nima make people reasonable?

Xu Hui has a new understanding, an era has a classic of an era, it is impossible to take out the things of the previous era, and then let people say, 'Look, this is a classic!'

In his opinion, "Paradise Cinema" can beat all the participating films in this year's competition, but sometimes it is the times that determine whether a work can win an award!

Movies are never pure!

This is especially true of film festivals!

Thanks to Xu Hui for not pretending to be forced before, otherwise it would have hurt...

The domestic publicity is more about Xu Hui helping Al Pacino to become the best actor in Cannes...

Of course, it's just a small wave of publicity, after all, the release time of "Cinema Paradiso" is in November - the award season has been determined, and "Paradiso Cinema" represents the touchstone to hit the 86th Oscars!
