Who disappointed Qi Xiangyu's "The Tower of Babel"?
This time, Roger Ebert did not go to the award ceremony, but dragged the patient to watch the lengthy ceremony at home. And I was extremely disappointed to reflect on my blog for the best movie predictions. As the most famous film critic in the United States, his love for "The Tower of Babel" and the jury's indifference to it are so helpless for him. What's wrong with "The Tower of Babel"?
Algar finally completed his trilogy. Generally speaking, any trilogy must be the best in the middle. But is "The Tower of Babel" really a bad film? In the IMDB online review, the evaluation of it can be described as mixed, and they have all gone to extremes, although they are all for lack of reason. Vicious criticism is full of words: lengthy, complicated, and pretentious. Pretentious? Who makes it uncomfortable, who makes it uncomfortable?
Some people criticized that "Babel" is a "Crash"-like movie, and there is nothing innovative. Not only is this structurally true, but they are all exploring the living conditions of different races. In fact, I think there is a big difference between the two. "Crash" is domestically oriented, while "Ba" focuses on foreign countries. This difference between inside and outside is not trivial. Internally, you can give pointers, but externally, I am afraid it may not make the judges feel good.
Amelia took the child to leave the country without any obstruction or obstacles, but crossed the border but encountered rigorous inspections. The national border has become a "easy to go out and difficult to come in" hole, which governs the population of this country to prevent diseases from entering through the mouth. In Angelopoulos' films, the border has always been a barrier to isolation. He uses poetic pictures to express it, but here, it is an incident and a tense atmosphere. For the United States, Mexicans have always been a headache for the government. Their smuggling is rampant, and the legal Mexican residents in the United States can not help but worry about their exuberant fertility. Conservative William Henry had long predicted that in the future, the most ethnic group in the United States will not be whites, but Mexicans. This kind of alarmism and the policy of the U.S. government go hand in hand-panic may be the best gift to the people?
Are Americans panicking? The little boy was horrified when he heard the gunshots at a Mexican wedding spree. He was horrified when he saw the chicken being killed. Did he also think of the Afghan Taliban's cessation of the Americans and Japanese? The Americans were panicked. They were so scared when they saw the local villagers in Morocco, for fear of devouring them alive, they hurried to escape. They prefer to look at the scenery outside behind the bulletproof glass. This is safe.
Bowman analyzed the role of fear on the government in "Abandoned Life". Only when the people feel fear, the more people need the government, and the more obedient the government can sit in prison and stabilize. Therefore, the fear of the people is the support of the government. Fear, ubiquitous fear, American nightmare, American's dead spot. When Gonzalez ordered it, the donkey and the two parties are just as unhappy.
The biggest metaphor Gonzalez sets in the film is the plot in Japan. Japan is like a girl with speechless, speechless, and elusive. Depressed to the extreme, desires cannot be released, and they can only vent naked. Their guns can only be used to hit Moroccan beasts, or into their own mouths. The mouth, the failure of this organ, turned out to be the most embarrassing embarrassment in Japan. I'm afraid no one has understood this point yet.
But, something is the same. Such as love, such as family affection. In Morocco, in the United States, in Mexico, and in Japan, the relationship between parent and child is set up in the film. These things are the same. This may be the world's greatest hope. Kieslowski once said: There are so many differences, such as political stances, religious beliefs, nationalities, races, ideologies, etc. However, there is always something the same, and that is emotion.
Isn't emotion disappointing the judges, is it panic? (Zuge Yi)
