The somewhat annoying Golden Globe Award has passed like this. And after the Golden Globe Awards, Levy's movie can be regarded as a painting.

The North American box office of the movie is a total of 70 million - as a romance movie, this box office figure is not bad, but it is still not very good.

The box office of romance movies generally fluctuates greatly. Some box office is not good, generally around 40 or 50 million, and Levy's Lost Tokyo last year, the box office did not even reach this level. And some big-name stars can have a high box office, even if it is more than 100 million, it is possible - but this is the limit of love movies, that is, it is basically impossible.

And the North American box office of 70 million, if you count the overseas box office, can probably reach nearly 100 million. Such a number can already be said to be quite an achievement for the two leading actors who are not particularly famous.

The main actors of this movie, after all, are Craig and Naomi, not Julia. Roberts, or Tom Hanks, a box office puller.

However, although the box office came out, there were other debates about the film, but they didn't stop there. Especially after the Golden Globe Awards, the Writers Guild Award was awarded to this film, but the Directors Guild Award did not give Levy a nomination, which also caused a lot of controversy.

It's no surprise that Levy's film won the Writers Guild Award – from the time the film came out, people had been saying it was the best screenplay in recent years. Such an intellectual film is very rare in the United States in recent years.

In the film of the year. The one that really deserves to be called a good script is this one and Gosford Manor - originally in Levy's memory, this year's good script also has memory fragments and angel Amelie. But now, Angel Amelie has already acted, and Nolan has a higher starting point, and there is no need to shoot memory fragments, so these two movies are gone. However, Gosford Manor is somewhat complex and lacks storytelling, which can be ignored in the Golden Globe Awards, which are more important for international works. However, when it came time for the union award, it became its weakness.

This also makes Levy the third time. Won the award for Best Original Screenplay.

This is already the third time that Levy's script has become a favorable contender for best screenplay, and people are already surprised by this. And in contrast. Levy's films are on top of various awards. There are no nominations for Best Director, which makes people feel rather strange.

Levy's level, how can he deserve a nomination. However, whether it is the Golden Globe Award or the Union Award, they deliberately ignore him, why is this?

And it's not just the Directors Guild of America. It was on the subsequent Oscar list that Levy was no longer nominated for the Oscar for Best Director. It also caused an uproar again.

On the one hand, people lament that Levy has not been able to break the record of four consecutive nominations, and on the other hand, people are wondering what is the standard of the Oscar and why he can't get the nomination this year.

It stands to reason that this time Levy did not win nothing - several nominations such as Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, etc., his films were also in his hands. However, this is Levy's film, and for the first time in many years, Levy's film has not been nominated for Best Director and Best Picture.

Although almost everyone now agrees that A Beautiful Mind will be the best film this time, it is really unreasonable not to even give Levy a nomination.

In this regard, some people believe that this is because Levy has won the Oscar twice, and since he has won it twice, then this time he should also give the opportunity to others. And some people believe that Levy was praising Naomi when he made the movie this time, and he may have made some sacrifices in the hope of making the actor popular - it is really difficult for people to find out the shortcomings of the movie from the movie, so they can only find reasons in these aspects.

All of a sudden, all kinds of discussions can be said to be endless. And in these discussions, one voice began to gradually gain the upper hand.

These reviews believe that the reason why Levy didn't win the award is not because of these reasons, but because although his movies are good, when it comes to them, the breakthrough of his films is not enough to give him an Oscar.

In fact, since the appearance of such an official evaluation, people have already understood that this is an explanation made by the academy.

"The most surprising thing about this Oscar nomination is that the film directed by Levy did not receive much favor. Although it did well at the box office, and was considered a very good work in all aspects such as script, editing, and actors, the film was not nominated for the most important Oscar for Best Picture and Oscar for Best Director. This is surprising because the level of the film is not bad. At the same time, it is also a pity, because this makes Director Levy's pace of winning Oscar nominations for several consecutive years have to be interrupted. ”

"It's a little puzzling that Oscar would make this judgment. However, if you take a closer look at the reasons for the college's evaluation in previous years, it is not surprising. For the trainees, there are two things that they value. One is the artistry of film, which is reflected in whether film can deeply explore human nature and truly reflect life through the art form of film. The other is a breakthrough in film technology, whether it can be filmed in a refreshing way. With one of these two points, you can gain the favor of the academy, otherwise, it is difficult to succeed. ”

"Levy's films have always been about winning with humanity. His films can indeed touch the human soul, which is why he is considered a good director. However, because of these achievements, he has also received enough honors. However, if you want to get more honors, then Levy should also make more profound films. Although his new film can be said to involve the field of philosophy, and the principle of filming is more systematic, there is no breakthrough in the depth of human nature, which is the biggest reason why it is not favored. ”

"To put it simply, Levy's films are good, but his films are not enough to break through the level of a master who has won two Oscars. For others, such a film may be considered satisfactory, but for Levy, it is not enough. ”

"If Levy wants to win another Oscar, then he has to dig deeper into the human soul or shoot in a more powerful way. Until then, he didn't make a breakthrough for himself, and he didn't deserve another award. ”

This comment, too, was sent to Levy in the first place. And looking at this kind of comment from the media, Levy also smiled helplessly at his friends.

This makes a lot of sense. What are the requirements of the academy, and their analysis is really accurate. ”

In fact, if you want to say why you didn't win the award, Levi knows better than anyone else. Oscar's balancing measures, and the promotion of new people, have to be carried out non-stop, if every year around a Levy for twenty years, then what will Oscar do? On a single basis, Levy is sure that he will have a hard time gaining favor again - after all, Hollywood needs new blood, and last year, Julia Lee. Roberts, Tom Hanks, plus himself, these people have all won the Oscar, in fact, they are already a symbol of renewal, Levy now has to make movies to compete, naturally he will not be favored and will not win the award, which is normal.

It's just that even if you don't give an award, you should always give a reason. Levy didn't expect that the answer given by the academy would be so straightforward: even if they found some fault with Levy, Levi wouldn't think there was anything, but they actually admitted it bluntly: Your movie is very good, but we just don't think it's good enough, so we just don't choose you.

This approach made Levy feel helpless.

"This was originally the answer given by the academy, but there are too many people discussing this now, and they can't stand it. However, based on these, I still can't say that I won't even give a nomination. Bob still has some resentment about this.

They can accept defeat, but when it comes to Levy's level, which is not even a top five in the whole year, they are also upset for Levy.

"There's no need to get angry with the Academy." Levy shook his head, "Actually, they're willing to give us an explanation, which is pretty rude." ”

"What's so good? Could it be that they treat us badly and just give an explanation, and you think it's acceptable? Bob asked rhetorically.

"No, I'm not saying that's acceptable. I mean, since they have to have a standard. Now that we've been told how to make a movie to be able to shoot it, how can they stop me next time, as long as they do what they say? ”

Oscar hopes that Hollywood will be replaced with new blood, and Levy naturally understands this truth. However, he never thought that he was an old director. Since they want new blood, you can inject them with new blood yourself. In fact, at this time, Levy has begun to promote Scarlett and other actors, he is not an old antique, he has to use old actors, or he has to use some outdated technology, he will not do it, and even, in terms of technological innovation, he has always been in the front.

However, he didn't expect that he had done so much in these aspects, but he would still be evaluated by the academy.

However, it is good that they finally clearly put forward the demand for deeper humanity and better technology, can't they do it themselves?

"Maybe it's time for us to think about how we can use better technology." Levy thought about it for a while, but still opened his mouth to Bob, "Recently, there have been a lot of blockbusters. Seeing that everyone wants to make blockbuster movies now, I also feel a little bit of an idea - maybe we should make blockbusters too. (To be continued......)
