511 The storm is coming

"Lancelot-Strello is disrespectful to religion and speaks wildly!"

"The discordant voice of the Oscar red carpet interview: Lancelot Strello calls himself God?"

The above two news stories are from the "Austin Chronicle" and "Christian Pravda", especially the latter, which even put this news on the front page, second only to "Breaking the Idol Baggage, Tom Cruise Makes the Oscar as He Wishes!" With this perspective, they interpret the 77th Oscars that have just ended.

When the Oscars came to an end, the next day, all the news media focused on this annual event.

As the focus of attention, Clint Eastwood won a big victory over Martin Scorsese; Tom Cruise defeated Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Fox to win the Oscar - two pieces of news that undoubtedly became the heart of everyone's conversation.

Moreover, Tom stole the limelight from Clint and made the headlines of major newspapers and magazines, with the headline of the "Chicago Tribune" being the most representative:

"After twenty-five years of waiting, Cruise has completed his transformation; After thirty-four years of chasing, Scorsese once again regretted it. ”

This news headline has swept the United States and has become a microcosm of all the attention people pay to this year's Oscars.

Tom won his first Oscar nomination for acting in 1989 for "Born on the Fourth of July," and Martin was nominated for Best Director at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1980 for "Raging Bull" — not counting the 1976 film classic "Taxi Driver," but neither of them was able to win the favor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences throughout their long careers.

These two people can be said to be typical representatives of the wrong time in the history of the Oscars, compared with Peter O'Toole (Peter-O'Toole), who has been nominated for eight times and failed eight times, Tom and Martin are naturally incomparable, both of them are nominated for the fourth time this year. But the misfortunes of the three people are very similar, because of all kinds of misfortunes, they all end up missing the little golden man.

For example, this year's Martin, the "Flyer" was imposing and majestic, but it was reversed by the "Million Dollar Baby" in the final stage. Objectively speaking, "Million Dollar Baby" from shallow to deep, from small to big, the profound theme of the idea under the control of Clint, exudes a touching brilliance of human nature, the old Martin this time lost unjustly, but ...... Considering the history, considering this is already Clint's second statuette, and considering the course of the awards season, it does make one feel sorry for Martin.

But this situation finally came to an end for Tom, after three nominations for "Born on July 4th", "Mr. Sweetheart" and "Magnolia", he finally won the most important trophy of his career as an actor with "Killing with a Knife". This was not just a historic breakthrough, it was a turning point for the top superstar to go down in history, and it's no surprise that it sparked such heated discussions.

So Clint and "Million Dollar Baby" were both reduced to supporting roles, so Annette Bening, who lost twice to the same opponent, was forgotten, and all the discussion was focused on Tom and Martin, and the precise summary of the "Chicago Tribune" easily became the vanguard of public opinion.

In the midst of this frenzy, Reims has also won countless attentions.

Not only because "Murder with a Knife" is his directorial work, not only because Tom sincerely thanked him in his acceptance speech, but also because film critics and reporters firmly believe that it is precisely Lance who sent Tom to the throne of actor - referring to Lance's directing ability, but also Lance's acting ability.

"If it weren't for Lance's stunning and brilliant performances, the whole film would have been overshadowed; Without Lance's deep, layered performance, Tom's performance would have been even more shallow and fragile; Without the sparkling rivalry between Lance and Tom and the breathtaking atmosphere, the afterglow of the film would not be as far-reaching. ”

This is from Roger Ebert's opinion published in the Chicago Sun, which Roger had expressed a similar idea long after the Oscar nominations were announced, and now that the winners have been announced, the rhetoric has completely fermented, leaving many people to regret that Lance missed out on Best Supporting Actor - but losing to Morgan Freeman, no one will question the result.

Therefore, Lance deservedly became the focus of discussion for many people. But unexpectedly, a joke in Lance's interview on the red carpet became the focus, and Sean, who was in charge of the interview at the time, was already dissatisfied, and secretly sarcastically argued with Lance twice, originally thinking that the matter was over, but now it was pulled out as a pigtail by the "Austin Chronicle" and "Christian Pravda", and they were fiercely criticized.

Never ignore the power of religion. Someone once joked that in Europe and the United States, religion is above the government, strictly speaking, this is not a lie, nor is it a joke. Looking at the focus of "The Passion of the Christ", the box office, and the impact it has produced, this is the most direct example, and it is no exaggeration to say that even after more than ten years, the impact of this film on Mel Gibson's film career has not disappeared.

Lance's words can be taken as innocuous humor, laughed off; But it can also be regarded as a great disrespect and severe criticism in the eyes of no one.

Lance's rise is fast, and at the same time he has made a lot of enemies, and I believe that many people are willing to fall into the trap and teach him a lesson - of course, the incident itself is not serious, Lance only needs to apologize seriously, and the matter can be revealed, but the point is: let Lance bow his head.

As the so-called popular right and wrong, although Lance has won countless attention before, but after tonight's Oscar, his reputation has really entered the next stage, which also means that he has the ability to influence a part of the interests, has the ability to drive a part of the team, even if it is only a small part, all of which makes him really enter the game circle - whether it is the interests between the East Coast and the West Coast, or the direct competition between companies, or the entanglement between companies and individuals, This makes him a target for some people.

There is a fundamental difference in this. Some artists seem to be in the news and seem to be being followed all the time, but that is just to satisfy people's demand for gossip, if the incident is explosive enough, then the follow-up report will continue, if not, it may be forgotten by people within a day; Some artists usually seem to have almost no news, but after a piece of news broke out, follow-up reports continued, and the quantity, quality and intensity of the reports were completely different, as if the whole world was against him, or even entangled for no reason.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's "Cheating Gate" is the latter. This is the embodiment of entertainment to death, but at the same time, it is also a game of profit first.

Now, Lance has officially stepped into this world, going from the first stage to the second stage. So, there's no need to wait too long for the attack to follow.

The two media outlets have come forward boldly, and Christian Pravda has not only written a news report, but has already begun to prepare for a follow-up report, and it seems that they want to teach Lance a good lesson as a shocking education for him to enter the ranks of the powerful.

But things are going a little off track.

It was originally expected that after the two newspapers publicly condemned Lance, and then further spread it on the radio station, waiting for public opinion to ferment, reporters would begin to come to Lance to respond, if Lance bowed his head, it would naturally be better, but the follow-up report would still be published, so that Lance clearly realized that some people could not be offended, and it would also affect the weight of Lance in the hearts of those devout believers, which could not be seen but could not be ignored for the box office impact of Lance's future film works; On the other hand, if Lance dismisses or even fights back, then the trap has been laid, and they will definitely not mind making the battle bigger, and the religious forces have never lost in this confrontation of public opinion.

However, at this juncture, the Focus Reporting Group of the "Boston Globe" published a report revealing that the American Catholic Church tried to cover up the scandal of priests' sexual/child abuse, and more than 70 priests were involved in the Boston area alone, involving countless victims; What's even more terrifying is that the events date back fifty years, but the Catholic Church has been trying to cover up the truth!

In fact, the news media has repeatedly broken the news about similar incidents, but the Church has exerted pressure on the entire judicial system, the entire media system, and even the entire government system with its huge power, and has brought the effect of power to the extreme, resulting in the fact that the matter has always gone unresolved, and the media reporters have not paid more attention, and the masses have even been kept in the dark, which has caused the current situation.

After the publication of this news report, not only in the United States, but also in a storm swept across the world, and similar incidents were reported around the world, and this pattern has become a kind of mental illness for priests, forming a "heritage", a disgusting, chilling, jaw-dropping tradition.

In contrast, Lance's talk on the Oscars red carpet was not even a drizzle, and dying was a drop of water falling into the desert, quickly drowning in the torrent of news media. The "Austin Chronicle" and "Christian Pravda" did not even have time to attack, they were already too busy to take care of themselves, and for a time the topic of the church was full of noise and panic.

Before the reporter even had time to find Reims, the matter had already been eliminated, and the so-called shock education was even more non-existent. If that's all there is, the news media could have regained a foothold and completed this shocking education, but the problem is that there is also a storm within Hollywood! (To be continued.) )
