Chapter 544: Oscar for Best Documentary
The investigation time of the International Tribunal in The Hague will be very long, after all, any judgment they make may affect a country or even multiple countries, or even the entire world situation, so we have to be cautious.
Muyang also handed over the video materials he had filmed of the Japanese hunting dolphins through animal protection organizations, of course, those original videos that had not been edited.
Time passed slowly, and in February 2019, Muyang received a call from Jacques Behan, and the old man excitedly told Muyang on the phone that their documentary won the Best Documentary Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary, and the award ceremony will be held on February 24, and he invited Muyang to Hollywood together.
Mu Yang is actually a little hesitant, after all, he has offended the United States in this world, and he is afraid that he will be caught by the Americans when the time comes, but in the end, he thinks about it, it is rare to have the opportunity to participate in an Oscar ceremony, and he also feels the atmosphere of the scene, and his own film was nominated, how to say that he is also a screenwriter and producer and an investor, as for the Americans who want to arrest him, it is a big deal to find a way to rush out.
On February 22, Muyang and his entourage of four arrived in Hollywood, but their entry procedures were fake, although they couldn't stop the investigation of those who were interested, at least this would not leave the most obvious loopholes, who knows if the FBI and CIA people will pay special attention to themselves.
Flashing lights, red carpets, evening dress shows, this is the world of stars. Muyang and the others only entered the venue through the side door, but because of Jacques Behan's arrangement, they sat together. The old man hugged Muyang very warmly.
At the beginning of the award ceremony, the star performances, acceptance speeches, and the host adjusted the atmosphere of the scene, making the awards ceremony look very warm and vibrant, and finally it was time for the award of the best documentary.
There were five documentaries competing for the ceremony, including Jacques Behan's "Dolphin Bay". There are also four excellent documentaries: "Burma Uprising", "Where is Home", "America's Most Dangerous Man", and "Food Company".
When the guests were revealed, the whole scene fell silent, and the music of the scene changed to Hans. Zimmer for "The Story of Abu". In the scene where Abu was killed, the music compiled by it, with a touch of fear and sadness intertwined in the music, made the entire award ceremony a little more solemn.
Superactress Aishalia said affectionately: "This is a story of the relationship between dolphins and humans. Although when I started watching this film. I think he's a feature film, but he's really a documentary, and all the scenes in him about dolphins being killed are taken from real scenes. ”
"When I see baby dolphins getting along with girls lovingly, becoming friends and even relatives, I feel warm."
"I couldn't help but cry out when I saw the helpless, sad eyes of the dolphin, when I saw a baby dolphin being hurt. I tried to swim through the fishing nets, but in the end I struggled. I felt guilty when I left a trail of blood in the sea. ”
As she said this, Aishalia unconsciously left tears in her eyes, "Please forgive me for saying so much, but please allow me to say one last word, Japanese, please stop killing." ”
When he said this, Abu's appearance suddenly appeared on the big screen, Abu's cuteness when he was a child, his intimacy with Sarah when he grew up, and finally when he was migrating, the Japanese captured Abu and brutally killed Abu, the whole performance was about 2 minutes, and the live music was constantly changing with the film, setting off the atmosphere, and at the end of Abu's sad eyes, the picture was frozen.
That big eye, without the slightest filth, can penetrate people's eyes, making the scene extremely quiet.
"Congratulations to Abu's Story, which won the 98th Academy Award for Best Documentary, and to Jacques Behan. ”
Applause rang out.
Jacques Behan took the stage and began to give his own speech.
"Thank you to the Academy Committee for awarding the award to Abu's Story, I don't want to thank anyone here, but I want to say that this award should belong to Mr. Muyang. After Jacques Behan said this, he looked in the direction of Muyang, and the camera was also aimed at Muyang at the right time, Muyang's young and handsome face appeared on the big screen of the awards ceremony, and it also ushered in a round of applause.
Listen to Jacques Behan continue: "Because the script idea of this film comes from Mr. Muyang, and the investment also comes from Mr. Muyang, even those scenes that record the killing of dolphins are also filmed by Mr. Muyang at the risk of his life, and the scene where the Japanese fishermen attack Sarah at the end of the film is not an act, but a real scene, they were indeed attacked by the fishermen, and the actor of Sarah's husband was injured because of it." ”
"Oh......" many exclaimed, and the image of the Japanese barbarism rose in their hearts at once.
This is a global live broadcast, with more than 150 countries around the world and 600 million people watching this program at the same time, and now the Japanese are famous again.
And in Japan, all the viewers who saw this scene felt gloomy.
"Finally, I would like to appeal again, and this is also the voice of all animal protectors, to love animals and to stop killing hands, because they are our friends and, perhaps, our relatives."
Speaking of this, Jacques Behan suddenly paused, his face became extremely serious, he stretched out a hand, pointed at the camera lens, and said sternly: "Japanese, it's time to stop killing dolphins and whales, if you turn a deaf ear to the voices of people all over the world, you will be spurned." ”
Muyang saw Jacques Behan's performance, and praised it in his heart, the old man is so domineering, and he is not afraid of offending the Japanese at all, which is pointing at his nose and scolding.
Five days after the award ceremony, Muyang received a message from Paul. Watson's phone call, the Hague International Court of Justice will soon hear a lawsuit against Australia, the Netherlands, the United States, New Zealand and other countries against Japan for violating international law by killing whales and dolphins in large quantities.
The International Court of Justice in The Hague is the judicial arbitration body of the United Nations, located at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands. Its main function is to arbitrate cases brought by States, or to provide advisory judicial advice at the request of the United Nations General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council, as well as to hear cases suspected of violations of international law.
This time, Australia and other countries sued Japan for violating the Comprehensive Whaling Convention, which came into force in 1986. (To be continued.) )
