Chapter 1435: The Audience Boils
The deserted Berlinale became the focus of global attention overnight!
Hugo's appearance instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire film festival, and the sight of a steady stream of journalists pouring into Berlin reminded of the 'waves' of geese migrating The 1,800 journalists vying for 200 tickets before the press conference continued to be talked about until Cannes in May; at the press conference, 250 reporters crowded the scene, making people suspect that the scene was going to be so crowded that they had to stand en masse to conduct interviews, which became an unforgettable scene in the history of the Berlinale and as many as 179 media outlets met Hugo face to face in 33 hours of segmented interviews." The exchange of 'talks' has pushed the atmosphere of the film festival to the peak......
In the nearly half century since the establishment of the Berlin Film Festival, it is the first time that such an enthusiastic scene has been held, not only the news media, but also the ordinary moviegoers have also boiled, making people clearly feel the strong appeal of Hugo today, which is the real superstar energy!
Turning down the Golden Globe and choosing the Berlinale is enough to make people follow one after another, not to mention that it was Hugo who created such a topic - the darling of the world for the past two years, which also made Berlin easily the hottest topic in February...... The update is so fast.
If the gathering of media reporters still has a tendency to have a topic effect and explode point mining, then the enthusiasm of movie audiences is the truly terrifying scene.
After the release of "Death Row Prisoner's Walk", it was completely hard to find tickets, even if it was broadcast 24 hours a day in multiple venues for the next two days, it was still in short supply, and every time the tickets were released, they were quickly sold out by the audience, which also made many audiences never be able to see Hugo at the Berlin Film Festival.
In desperation, audiences could only wait for the official release of "Death Row Walk" in Germany - in the end, the film topped the overseas market at the German box office, although there was no "Death Row Walk", but the audience who traveled thousands of miles to Berlin could not return empty-handed, so this also promoted the sales of tickets for other films.
According to statistics, the 1996 Berlin Film Festival sold a total of 160,000 movie tickets, and the sales performance easily surpassed the competitors Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival, becoming the world's most "outstanding" film festival in ticket sales, which not only "reflected" the German audience's wholehearted support for the Berlin Film Festival, but also once again showed Hugo's strong box office appeal in Europe.
Although the market for the overseas distribution rights of Berlinale entries has always been unsatisfactory due to the cold and jerky subject matter, and is completely inferior to Cannes and Venice, the enthusiasm and support of Berlin's audiences is unique, which is an important reason why the Berlinale has stood for many years.
However, this time 160,000 movie tickets were sold in one go, which not only set a new record for the number of audience attendees at the festival, but also easily completed the Cannes Film Festival last year, which "only" 110,000 audiences entered.
This gloriousness has made the 46th Berlin Film Festival go down in history, maybe this is not the film festival with the most classic films, maybe it is not the highest quality film festival of the participating films, even the number of media and the number of audiences will be constantly refreshed in the future, but this film festival has made the world pay attention to Berlin, such treatment was previously only available in Cannes and Venice, and now Berlin also enjoys the beauty and happiness of standing in the spotlight.
This year's Berlin Film Festival, not only Hugo has attracted countless eyeballs, but also "Death Row Prisoners" has also become the focus of the topic.
The Berlinale's official house book, "Screenings", gave a super high rating of three out of four out of four judging, currently behind "Sense and Sensibility" and "Lust in the Classroom." och。 ***ring。 stor)", temporarily in third place!
"It's a thought-provoking film, and Robbins' lens throws up a sad and heavy topic, like a bitter tear falling on the big 'leg', but it doesn't tell you what is in it, just a long time of deep thought. If that doesn't sound entertaining, you're right. This is obviously not a work of lighthearted entertainment, but it has much more meaning: it uses a controversial topic to introduce the core idea of a cosmic tragedy: whose hands is the meaning of life in its hands?
The performances of both actors can be called 'fine', Sarandon's performance is delicate and moving, her tear-filled eyes gleam with divine brilliance, and the intricacies and struggles she shows are not only the worries of the clergy, but also the controversy that every ordinary person will inevitably face, and this qiē has become real and believable because of Sarandon.
The toughness, vulnerability, fear, worry, pain, and struggle between gestures and gestures began to complicate the meaning of the death penalty, and the obscure light revealed in those helpless eyes made the tip of the avenger's tongue bitter, and the anger of every viewer was successfully provoked by Lancaster at the last moment, which was enough to make the soul tremble. Needless to say, this was one of the most infectious and powerful performances of Lancaster's career! ”
The official attitude of the Berlinale can be seen from the evaluation of the "screening", which not only simply praised, but also analyzed the core content of the whole film - of course, it was vaguely 'revealed' the position of the Germans against the death penalty, and more importantly, the major media throughout Europe praised the work.
The French "Cinema Handbook" said in a commentary, "The perfect combination of actors' performances and storylines gives the film a rare element: more people 'sexual' care!" In terms of rating, it is given 2.9 points, which is basically the same as "Screening".
The old British film magazine "Sight and Sound" gave a high score of 3.2, which is on a par with "Sense and Emotion", "a complex work of art with many possible 'sexuality'." Sarandon and Lancaster's performance, guided by Robbins, raises a question that doesn't provide an answer, making 'Death Row Walk' a play of extraordinary imagination. ”
Germany's Berlin Morning Post (berliner. "A quiet, courageous play, with Lancaster's performance quiet and powerful, Sarandon struggling and glorious, quietly stirring up shock in the course of watching the movie!" "The 3.3 point evaluation is not only the highest score, but also their highest score at this year's Berlin Film Festival.
The American "Time Magazine" actually arrived in Berlin and made an evaluation for the first time, "This is a complex 'sexual' scale, Lancaster and Sarandon both show the struggle and struggle of their souls in their performances, and the performances of these two actors, in the last moments of the movie, the surging emotions directly annihilate us." "The evaluation of 2.8 is still very good.
In addition, the major European media have expressed their opinions, "This is a 'fine' masterpiece supported by the mature performances of Susan Sarandon and Hugo Lancaster", "The picture of the last moments of the film is an extremely infectious moment", "This kind of intelligent, balanced, and ruining 'sexuality' film is placed in front of us, no less than a contest between good and evil", "Robbins's directing and screenplay are almost flawless, and there is never a simple answer to the death penalty, And this film makes this topic even more painful and powerful", "'fine' and brilliant performances, real and delicate to the point of terrifying eyes"......
It can be seen that, similar to the United States, the media attending the Berlin Film Festival also have similar views on the "Death Row Walk", and without exception sent their own praise, and the discussion about the death penalty has once again become the hottest focus of the Berlin Film Festival.
The Berlin Film Festival, which gathers media from all over the world, finally gave this work an average score of three points, which can basically be said to be a position of "Death Row Walk" in the world, compared with the North American media comprehensive evaluation of 87 points, the Berlin Film Festival is slightly inferior to the 'color', but it is not much different.
At present, in addition to "Sense and Emotion" and "Don't Love in the Classroom", "Death Row Prisoner's Walk" is undoubtedly the work that has received the most praise, and it is also the work that the audience has discussed Cheng dù the most.
Although in terms of ratings, "Death Row Walk" only ranks third among the participating films, but unlike the Oscars and Golden Globes, the three major European film festivals are all jury systems, even if Berlin's changes and differences are not as exaggerated as Cannes, it is undeniable that the personal aesthetics of the jury still have a great influence on the results.
The president of the jury of this year's Berlin Film Festival is Nikita Mikhalkov from Russia. Mikhalkov), known as the Russian Steven Spielberg, includes "The Scorching Sun", "The Twelve Angry Men", "The Ancient Spirit" (Urga), and "The Black Eye" (OCI). ie)" and other masterpieces.
In addition, the jury also included two 'female' and 'sexual' Chinese members, Chen. Chong and Xu. Saddle. Hua, their attitude towards movies is also bound to have an impact on the trend of awards.
What kind of results will be achieved at the Berlin Film Festival, which has been highly anticipated, crowded with audiences and praised by the audience, has also sparked numerous discussions, but judging from the current pattern, "Death Row Walk" is indeed a big hit in Germany.
Before the award ceremony and closing ceremony, a series of awards awarded in the early stage of the Berlin Film Festival took the lead in locking the "Death Row Walk", the Catholic Humanitarian 'Spirit' God Award, the German Art Cinema Association Award, the "Berlin Morning Post" Readers' Jury Prize, the "Berliner Zeitung" Jury Prize, and the New York Film Academy Panorama Award all awarded awards to the "Death Row Walk", which also made it suddenly loud at the upcoming awards ceremony, and suddenly became the strongest contender for the Golden Bear Award! ――37235+dsuaahhh+26709508――>
