"Later Us" has the ticket refund gate, citing the same party and fighting each other, and all parties are just and righteous, but behind the scenes, Rene Liu and Maoyan don't hesitate to poke their eyes, insulting the public's cognition and disrupting the normal viewing order, while throwing the blame To the huge but mysterious party organization in the mainland - the scalper party. They describe the refund behavior as "a kind of behavior of a small network of small particles scattered in various cities", and while playing with words, they once again confirmed two facts: First, they seriously overestimated their own movies. The second is that they contemptuously frame the IQ of the scalpers.
Although the ticket refund door went against their original intention of making a fortune in silence, they still made a fortune after all. While counting the box-office receipts "with fear", they don't have to worry that those scalpers who are completely silent will jump out and accuse them of insulting their IQ. It seems that mainland filmmakers have never built a plot based on basic logic for a long time. What's the logic? Throwing the object is true. So all parties winked at each other, and in the fierce crusade, they tacitly threw the pot to the cow who couldn't make a sound.
Things have developed so far, and no audience and scalpers have jumped out to fight for rights and interests for the sake of ticket money and reputation. The lack of the main body of the plaintiff will make them have the last laugh. Although the fire of public opinion is fierce, it is an indisputable fact that real money can be made by taking risks and fishing in troubled waters. The context of the incident will generally be left unsettled after the next wave of topics comes, and the innocuous investigation results of the relevant departments will also be announced after the attention has been drawn away. I really want to think about the scene where scalpers and Rene Liu are on the same stage in court, but this surreal picture may only be seen by "we" later. If you want to watch a great courtroom drama right now? So let's take a look at the Lebanese film "Shame," which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Speaking of Lebanese movies, I am most impressed by the scenes of naked women baptized by war in the tank sight in the movie "Lebanon". As the most westernized Arab country in the Middle East, Lebanon has a very close historical relationship with Christianity. The complex geopolitical and ethnic differences are the root cause of the country's years of internal and external wars.
As early as in the movie "Kingdom of Heaven", during the war between King Baldwin IV and Saladin, the leprosy king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Lebanon has always been the southernmost territory of this bridgehead country as a bridgehead for Christianity to conquer the Islamic world. As a strategic road in Asia, Africa and Europe, it has been captured and occupied by other powerful countries for many times, and it is also one of the buffer zones for the disputes and expansion of the two worlds of Islam and Christianity. In modern times, Lebanon is still a country that integrates various issues such as ethnicity, belief, religion, war, and geography. "Shame" is also a court trial movie unfolding against this complex historical and religious background.
Speaking of courtroom movies, there have been a lot of them recently. The German film "Out of thin air", which reflects the issues of immigration and neo-Nazis, still provides a good courtroom performance despite frequent bugs. Coupled with the "Third Suspect" of Hirokazu Kore-eda's suspenseful crime film, the murder case is transformed from a clear to a blurred trial process to achieve the purpose of criticizing modern justice.
The two major religious countries also presented wonderful courtroom dramas, including the Islamic Iranian film "A Parting" and the Jewish Israeli film "The Proceedings". Through the different attitudes and situations of their respective religious countries towards laws and religious dogmas, the film has a profound discussion on judicial, social, ethnic, belief, gender, and class issues.
And "Shame" "benefited from" its embarrassing geographical advantage, it directly broke the religious separation, "dragged" people from the two camps of Islam and Christianity to the same court, away from guns and guns, and used modern civilization to solve disputes and create peace , it can be said that the creator's intentions and ambitions are quite obvious.
The film begins with a municipal block renovation project under the auspices of a congressman. A Lebanese Christian and a Palestinian refugee foreman went to court due to a quarrel over water pipe repairs. With the help of the media, the two major religious and ethnic forces in the country were triggered. strife. The seemingly trivial matters between the two people turned into a giant snowball, involving political and religious issues in the entire Middle East, thus triggering people's thinking about truth, faith, humanity and peace.
The natural confrontation between different countries, different beliefs, and different sects and political parties makes the two middle-aged men dislike each other. Under the instigation of a father and daughter lawyers, they hate each other and kill each other in court. However, two middle-aged men with the same character (stubborn and kind), the same situation (left home), and the same simplicity (same class) saw themselves in each other again, and completed the "love" reconciliation in private, forming a happy ending.
It is not difficult to see that the theme of the movie is wonderfully selected, the routines are skillful, and the plot is completed entirely by relying on the escalating dramatic conflict, and the usual Hollywood model is used. Various regional political themes and author expressions specific to Lebanon are played in the framework of the melodrama. Although it is unrealistic and a little deliberate, it fully highlights the perspective of the poor living in the gap between the religious and ethnic groups in Lebanon. I would rather accept this exotic style that is not new.
Pagan crusade has been the theme of war for thousands of years, and world peace and national integration is also the common wish of mankind. "Shame" uses a skilled sense of design and a slightly smooth plot. The Lebanese filmmakers use a way more acceptable to the public to tell their sufferings in a small way. At the same time, they also realize the beautiful vision of the great unity of the world in the square.
Compared with our filmmakers who have long been far away from the war, but use their skillful designs outside the screen and deceive the audience to earn box office, what are the shortcomings of "Shame"? They created the dream of peace with movies, but we shattered the dream of movies with reality. May they, who have once again humiliated Chinese films and audiences with practical actions, enter the courtroom to try them as soon as possible.
The artillery fire does not matter violently, as far as possible to be precise.
