1059 Change of dynasty
The Oscars have just come to an end, and the Oscar night held by "Vanity Fair" has not yet had time to start, and the whole of Los Angeles is already boiling, and the kind of unbearable excitement can't wait to be unflickered, and the brightly lit media center is obviously the origin of this craze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The reporters immediately contacted their editorial headquarters, trying to find a suitable perspective to report on tonight's historical moment, and then used this as a basis to go to Oscar Night to get more information and really carry forward this night. Clearly, different media outlets have very different views.
Not surprisingly, the triumph of Fury Road drew a wave of wails, protests, and even outrage from the conservative press, who saw the success of this cult film production as a disaster, not only the beginning of the fall of the film industry, but also the beginning of the collapse of mainstream American culture.
"Christian Pravda" directly described the 79th Oscars as "moral decay", such sharp words are not only aimed at the "road of rage", but also pointed at the "little beauty of the sun", this newspaper with a clear religious ideology believes that the morbidity and darkness reflected in these two works is a kind of pollution and destruction of the mainstream moral ideas of society, especially the "road of rage", this work will not only become the culprit of destroying family harmony, but also become the beginning of the gradual disappearance of traditional moral concepts. The Academy's choice to reward such a terrible and evil work is undoubtedly a sign that the mainstream American culture has been polluted, "This is indeed an Oscar that will go down in history, a party of great shame, and it will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever."
The Austin Chronicle refuses to compare "Fury Road" with "Midnight Cow/Lang", in their view, "'Midnight Cow/Lang' represents the confusion and pain of society, the movie is full of contempt and rejection of heresy and evil, and the tragic ending makes people deeply aware of the tragic ending of going astray." This is a masterpiece that sounded the alarm bell of society", undoubtedly implying that homosexuality is still a disgusting heresy, "but the 'berserk road' is advocating those cults that erode people's minds, corrupt the foundations of society, and destroy traditional ideas, like Satan's whispering evil spells, trying to destroy the truth, goodness and beauty in people's minds." The Academy's choice to award 'Midnight Cows' forty years ago has shown their courage in standing up to the villains of society, but their choice to award 'Raging Path' forty years later has exposed their timidity, cowardice, and ignorance. This is a regression of society. ”
On the other hand, the rhetoric of the "Salt Lake City Tribune" is also particularly fierce, they believe that this will be the beginning of the degeneration of the young generation in the United States, and that "Fury Road" will become a work of praise, which is even more terrible than "Brokeback Mountain", because Lance's work will begin to erode the entire American society from all aspects of culture, which is undoubtedly the evil consequence of luring/luring the abyss for young people who lack judgment, and will eventually lead to national turmoil and social regression. They compare "berserk road" to "rock, drugs, alcohol, and no-politics."
It can be clearly felt that the impassioned influence of the conservative forces, and the move of the "Fury Road" to sweep the eleven little golden figures above the Oscars can be called the end of the world, lamenting, indignant, condemning, choking, sad, and disappointed. However, the conservative forces could not change the results of the academy's awards, and what made them even more powerless was that they were now alone, and the praise of the mainstream media almost drowned them out.
More than 90 percent of the media are cheering for the arrival of the historic moment and celebrating the birth of a hearty victory, just as the absolute advantage of the "Fury Road" in the award ceremony, the American media also deeply feel that this change has come inexorably, and they have opened their arms to welcome the prelude to a new era. The Oscars' media center has entered the party moment early.
However, even with the praise, the mainstream media is divided into two different camps, which once again proves Lance's vision of "The Road to Fury" – a mirror in which different classes, cultures, and ideologies will reflect very different results.
The East Coast media, led by the "New York Times", focused on the history created by Lance and Chaos Pictures, and the spirit and core of the reflection of the work "Fury Road" are precisely the best interpretation of the 21st century, winning the Oscar is only the first step, and its real greatness lies in the impact on the direction of the entire cultural trend, this feat is so incredible that not only will not be erased by the passage of time, on the contrary, The passage of time will bear witness to the tremendous impact that this night has had on the entire culture of North America.
The New York Times began with the headline "Lancelot Strello, Brilliant Maker, Master Steps Ahead of Orson Welles, Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas!" For the sake of the headline, they believe that Lance is ahead of these masters, not because of an Oscar-winning statuette, but because the cultural innovation that Lance represents has truly become a trendsetter.
Orson created a new film language and completely subverted the rules of film art; Stanley's exploration and speculation of the future world, the exploration and in-depth exploration and in-depth of social metaphors, and the excavation and use of the language of the lens are unique in the world. George changed the paradigm of commercial cinema and ushered in the beginning of the modern film industry, not only developing visual effects, but also opening up new frontiers for cinema as a vehicle for whimsy. Needless to say, they are all great.
The same is true for Reims, whose use of the language of the lens, the combination of vision and psychology, the discussion of contemporary society, and the combination of art and commerce are enough to go down in history. But Lance went one step further and dominated the Oscars as a representative of mainstream culture, truly creating a new era by himself.
As a result, the "New York Times" not only crowned the title of "greatness" on the head of Lance, but also put forward the title of "film giant" for the first time, sending Lance to the height of the palace.
The Chicago Sun-Times focused on the characteristics of the times reflected in the work "The Road of Rage", which has a distinct network color, and the contradictions between different groups such as the mainstream and the heterogeneous, the majority and the minority, the strong and the weak, along with the fast food culture in the Internet era, began to be gradually amplified. Moreover, there is still a long way to go to eradicate discrimination.
They believe that the 79th Oscars made history because of their courage to admit such prejudice and discrimination. The College did not repeat the mistake of "Brokeback Mountain" again - after comparing the chaos and ugliness of last year's awards ceremony with the "furious road", it has made people deeply aware of discrimination, and this time, the college has finally shown the sharpness and strength in its bones again, proving that the college is still the most authoritative award ceremony in North America.
On the other hand, the West Coast media, led by the Los Angeles Times, focused on the earth-shaking changes in the film industry, and they realized that Chaos Pictures was setting off a revolution, which is still unclear, because there is only one "Fury Road", and the unreleased "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" cannot figure out a context, but it is certain that this storm is sweeping the entire film industry, and even the six major Hollywood studios are also involved in this whirlpool.
The Los Angeles Times emphasized the particularity of "Fury Road", not in its R-rated or cult classics, but in its outlier attitude, breaking through the shackles of the mainstream and writing miracles. The collision of ideas, the use of technology, the use of propaganda techniques, and the domineering spirit of challenging authority reflected in the film have changed the small-scale preference of independent films and truly interpreted the connotation of "independent films".
So far, most independent films have distinct characteristics, small pattern, petty bourgeoisie, specific groups, self-talk, clear class consciousness, etc., "American Beauty", "A Cup of Wine Life", "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Brokeback Mountain" and other works are all like this. But the "road of rage" - or Lance has changed this status quo, the focus of independent films is not "small pattern or small group", but the spirit of bravely challenging oneself, bravely breaking through the shackles, and bravely experimenting, even if it is an independent film, it can still discuss social issues in depth, it can show the grandeur of the epic, it can be magnificent, the investment cost and shooting techniques are not obstacles, the way of thinking, the core of thought, and the depth of thought are.
The victory of "Fury Road" at the Oscars is undoubtedly a complete subversion, not only making independent films officially on the stage of history, but also making all practitioners, including the six major film companies, re-examine the art of film.
The San Francisco Chronicle focuses on Chaos Pictures' seventh-player stance, not only box office data, but also awards season results, Chaos Pictures has shown great potential in all aspects, especially Lance's alternative understanding, alternative operation and alternative interpretation of films, which is undoubtedly a huge impact on the existing film industry. It's not for nothing that people call "Fury Road" another "Male and Female Thief" or "Star Wars", because Chaos Pictures is showing a new artistic approach, as well as a new commercial approach.
They make an interesting point, "Why did Strello choose 'Iron Man' and 'The Incredible Hulk' after 'Fury Road', and is there really no other reason for this?" ”
Chaos Pictures' intentions were exposed to people for the first time, which also means that Hollywood has truly put Chaos Pictures in the position of a chess player. The "seventh player" is no longer just a joke, and people have finally realized that Chaos Pictures not only has the ability to impact the six major film companies, but also has the ability to disrupt the entire film industry. The question is: Chaos Pictures has attracted everyone's attention, so can they succeed?
