Sometimes, there are always some directors who say that it doesn't matter whether the movie is made or not, as long as there is a box office, other things don't matter at all. However, anyone has to admit that after a movie appears, some people's works are just enjoyable after watching them, and no one cares too much about the details. But some people's works can make people constantly analyze and explore, so small that a line, a piece of clothing, a color, will make people think deeply about the meaning, such a difference, just there, everyone can see it.

A movie always has its inner meaning, and whether such a connotation is good enough is the credit of the director. What is a true master? After the film is shot, those details dig deeper, and the more you dig into things, the more you dig into the film, that is the masterpiece.

Levy's films, there is this trend now.

Levy has always been detail-oriented, and that's something that people all know. However, even if there is an emphasis on the details, how these details should be represented and how they should be photographed will be different. The most surprising thing about Levy is that his films are always improving, which would surprise anyone.

When the filming of "Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind" was completed, people found that, as in the past, there were still many details buried in Levy's films. In "Truman's World", Levy used these details to hint at Truman, and in "Infernal Affairs", Levi no longer took the initiative to mention these details, but only used these to secretly represent the cycle of time and the continuation of the story. And this time, Levy did something different, he buried all these details, and. With these details, it is woven into the hidden thread of the story.

Such progress cannot but be admired. By fully integrating these details into the film, and making it truly weightless and without a trace, Levy can be said to have taken the most important big step.

"If after Infernal Affairs, Levy was just a good director who made movies, then, now, Levy is really a person who can be named a master."

in the comments of the media. also has a high evaluation of Levy's films. It's hard for a person to keep improving, and it's all the more impressive that Levy is still improving even more after winning two Oscars.

Obviously, the two Oscars did not become an obstacle to Levy's progress. He didn't start to give up his pursuit after he became famous. I no longer think about how to continue to improve, on the contrary, after this, because there is no more trouble with the Oscars. His films, on the contrary, are more eclectic and better.

This is the pursuit of filmmakers.

Not just film critics, actually. Even in the Mystery Company, Levy's success this time also made his friends very happy.

"We have to admit it. Nick's film this time was also quite successful. ”

After the first week's box office figure of 12 million appeared, Clark was happy to celebrate Levy's success at the studio.

This movie, it stands to reason that there is nothing to do with Clark: the film was shot when Levy was in Europe, and the editing work was also done by him and his people. Although this film has been called a textbook of editing, it is embarrassing that this is not Clark's editing work. Clark had always been Levy's editor, but this time he didn't cut it, but the level was higher, and he was ridiculed a lot by a few friends, but even if he was ridiculed, he didn't change his happy attitude towards Levy.

"Wouldn't it be strange if Nick succeeded, and if I were upset about it?"

Clarke's attitude towards this is quite clear, he does not think that this is a bad thing.

Although it is said that the film Levy edited himself and received more praise than Clarke's editing, which makes people start to doubt Clark's level, however, Clark never thought that his level was higher than Levi, what is unacceptable? He didn't think about those things at all, others ridiculed him and paid attention to him, but what he focused on was only Levy's movies.

And Levy's success again, even he is sighing: film is known as the eighth art, and it also has some characteristics of art. In the process of innovation, it is easy for any art to fall into a situation where it is not recognized and understood. Music, art, and sculpture are all the same, and they can all be unacceptable to the world because they are too radical ideas.

And it's the same with movies, and innovation is also very difficult. Especially for a director, it is very important to elevate his film from storytelling to philosophy, which is an important process of real masterization. With such a film being able to shoot so smoothly, it's no wonder that several of his companions are raving Levy's success.

The box office in the first week was 12 million, which is not a very high number, but at least it shows that the movie is still quite popular. The investment in the movie itself is not very high, only 20 million, looking at such a box office, it is definitely possible to recover the cost.

"Actually, just because of the achievements of this movie, we can also have a celebration party now."

After the release of the film, in the company, Alexander also made such a suggestion to Levy.

"Let's wait for a while, and I'll talk about it when the movie is drawn. Now the actors are busy with the awards season, so don't mess with our celebration party. ”

Levy rejected Alexander's proposal. Because he is not the only one who succeeds in this movie, but also those actors.

After this movie, several important actors in the movie also attracted attention. Their performances are already good, and Levy has always had a reputation for promoting good actors, and in a virtuous circle, their fame has skyrocketed, and now, this awards season, they are all busy with their careers.

Daniel Craig, the actor of this movie, finally succeeded in making a name for himself in Hollywood by relying on this movie. Compared with the "Tomb Raider" released in the summer, he performed a lot more in this movie, an Englishman pretending to be a British gentleman to act in an action movie will not be well received, but a Briton pretending to be an American introverted man to play a romance movie, which can get a lot of praise. For an actor, a good movie can pave the way for his career. This is true at all. Craig's acting skills began to be taken seriously and began to officially enter Hollywood.

It's just that in terms of best actor this year, he doesn't have much hope. Rassell. Crow, Sean. Pan, Will. Smith, Denzel. Washington and other outstanding actors have had extremely outstanding performances in this year. And, even the PR efforts are the same: the strongest PR efforts this year are none other than Will Smith. He played the boxing champion Ali in order to fight for the Oscar with all his might, his reputation and status are very high, and his public relations efforts are naturally not weak. And several other people are also big stars who have been in Hollywood for many years, and they are all well-known acting schools, they are all well-connected, not to mention winning awards, it is very difficult to get a nomination in the hands of these people.

Therefore. This awards season, he is the most relaxed.

And in contrast, Scarlett. Johnson was lucky. What she is now striving for is a nomination for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Compared to the competition for the role of Oscar for Best Actor. Best Supporting Actress is obviously much easier and simpler. Originally, this award was not very taken seriously, and at this year's Oscars, there was a lack of enough outstanding works. Now the hype is more hot for a few nominees, Kate. Winslet. Maggie. Smith, Helen. Miller, etc., are British. Especially Maggie. Smith and Helen. Miller still plays a supporting actress in the same movie, and it is more troublesome to compete for nominations.

So if you're lucky enough, Scarlett. Johnson might just get a nomination.

And Levy decided to help her out - in his memory, Scarlett. Johnson is one of the most optimistic actors in the post-80s generation at the beginning - Hathaway made her debut in brainless comedy after all, Kayla. Knightley's looks and acting skills have always had mixed reputations, and Natalie Portman's acting skills have been fluctuating and unstable - but this originally promising actor ended up being the worst developed actor among the post-80s actors.

And now, since Levy wants to promote her, he naturally won't let her develop in a mess anymore. Although, Levy is also very clear that there is a beautiful heart inside Jennifer. Connery, with Kate. An acting school like Winslet, with old actors like Maggie Smith and Helen Miller, it is impossible for her to win the award even if she is nominated, but for young actors, being nominated is already very lucky in itself.

Actually, don't say it's her, even Naomi, who is in her early 30s. Watts, after the success of the film performance, was able to confirm a nomination, and he is already considered lucky.

Unlike Scarlett, Naomi. After Watts finished the film, it was unanimously agreed by the industry that she would definitely get an Oscar nomination. In previous movies, she has played scheming people, gentle and elegant people, but she has not played enthusiastic people. In this movie, her image has changed greatly, playing a person with a completely different personality from the past, and in the performance, she expressed this character very well, which made everyone believe that she must be able to get an Oscar nomination.

Although this year's nominees may have Harry. Berry, Renee. Zellweger, Judy. Dench, Nicole. Kidman and other actors, the competition can be said to be very fierce, but she can still have her own place.

This time, if you are lucky, maybe it will be nominated for the supporting actress, and all of them will be in the bag.

Hollywood seems to have gotten used to this.

"Levy's films, with good enough actors, seems to be a normal thing. Who wouldn't want to work with Levy in Hollywood? There is no doubt about the achievements of Levy's films, because he is a true master of his time. (To be continued......)
