Written after Oscar

Kole 2022-03-21 09:01:12

First of all, congratulations to Tom Hopper for winning the new Oscar for Best Film and Best Director. The congratulations here seem sour. As a David Fincher fan, after watching today’s Oscar live broadcast, I might be in the mood. There are still a lot of complaints, but this is the Oscar. What can you say to him? As a film critic said, I prefer the Golden Globes, because everyone can get together and eat and chat, but it's here Everyone at the Oscars must pretend to be present, which is simply pretending. Yes, in the Golden Globe award speech, Vinci can say "When people call me and ask me to film "Social Network", I seem to think they made the wrong call. I am usually a serial killer. And black movies, this is not my style." A simple sentence shows Vinci’s helplessness. "Social Network" does not seem to be in Vinci’s style, but he eventually won the prize. I wonder if Vinci picked up Xiaojin today. When he is a human, can he be as calm as he said at the Golden Globe Awards? Of course, all this is just a if, in what direction should Vinci's directorship go in the future?
Bazin once said that the film is to show the reality of society, which is now more and more regarded as the first purpose of the film. The intuitive display of life also seems to be a major scoring criterion for the best Oscar movies. We rarely see a movie that shows dreaminess as the final Oscar best movie. It is precisely based on this that we think those It is almost impossible for the movies that give us a strong visual impact to leave their names on the best Oscars, such as "The Matrix", and even "Avatar" that revitalized 3D, and this year's "Pirates of Dreams" A big reason for the failure of Space is also based on this point. Of course, the two films "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings 3" must be mentioned here. The success of "Titanic" seems understandable. After all, the film itself is a report of a world-class event, and its special effects It is only a supplement to her final award, not a leading factor; then the award of "Lord of the Rings 3" is more like an endorsement of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. So in this year’s three nominated films, "Social Network" naturally follows the Oscar-winning iron rule. We all seem to be puzzled by Zuckerberg’s success, but for Americans, With the development of society, it seems that getting rich quickly on the Internet is no longer a miracle, and our outlook on life and morality is no longer a simple right or wrong in our time. What is more important is that we do a good thing. This is also the biggest requirement of today’s society for successful people. In fact, as far as "Social Network" is concerned, he does not have the absolute strength to defeat "The King's Speech", so even if the "Social Network" wins the final prize, we will still have a lot of criticism, so the final award of "The King's Speech" is not What is particularly unpopular, the two films are in the middle, and it is reasonable for whoever wins the prize. And the best director award may be the discussion point of this Oscar for some time in the future. Tom Hopper is not a particularly talented director (at least for now, he hasn't had a special person Remember the movie), in my opinion, the victory of "The King's Speech" may be more of Colin's efforts. This is a film specially created for Colin. It is also Colin's efforts that make Oscars eventually lean towards "The Kings" "Speech", so I prefer the choice of the film critics rather than the union’s decision. For the film, we chose the director instead of the actor. Odd helpless opportunity, this is also our helplessness.
In fact, I personally don’t like "Social Network" very much. He is tepid and doesn’t have a desire to watch. As far as movies are concerned, we are more concerned about Zuckerberg’s growth. What I did has changed from making everyone watching the movie in horror to making everyone feel the growth of society. This is actually not Vinci’s black film philosophy, not Vinci’s film style, but I always hope that Vinci wins an Oscar. , Because he needs an Oscar, he needs an Oscar to let everyone remember his existence, and whether the changes in this period of time also make Finch start to doubt his movie style, I still like the black film Finch, that Fen The Wizards are the real Vinci.
Vinci is a maverick director. Vinci did not have a college degree. He learned shooting techniques in the movie studio early, did special effects for movies, and was an advertising director in the early days. So now we all like Vinci’s movies. With fast editing, even "Social Network", a movie that doesn't require special effects at all, Vinci can also be said to have imposed a special effects shot. The experience of becoming a film director is not as easy as we thought. It is true that his success in commercials has made Vinci recognized and valued by some film companies, but he was completely filmed when he directed "Heterosexual 3" for the first time. The talent suppressed by the company made Vinci reluctant to mention that he had directed the shooting of "Heterosexual 3" in the future. This is Vinci's arrogance. For Vinci, filming is just to fulfill his childhood dream, so We will see Vinci shoot a drowsy "Zodiac" with the perplexity of everyone, just to put the childhood "hero" on the screen. It is also the unpleasantness of "Heterosexual 3" that also allows us to see that Vinci often ridicules some of the methods of film companies in his own movies. This is Vinci, the director who wants to fulfill his dreams.
But as we got older, we started to see Vinci’s compromise. As Vinci said, his favorite movie styles are black movies and serial killers, and these movie styles don’t seem to be what Oscar likes. Movies and serial killers have to be combined with crime stories to a large extent. This type of story has always been unwilling to be fully open to American movies. In the United States, there have even been special laws to prevent crimes. Its excessive development, we can also find that some classic crime movies are difficult to appear in the best Oscar movies, such as "Once Upon a Time in America", "Pulp Fiction" and "Fight Club". So we can imagine that if Finch has been along It may be difficult for Oscar to speak to him with his own black movie style, hello. In 2009, we saw "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". If we don't tell you the director in advance, we can hardly imagine that this is Vinci's work, but for the Oscar, Vinci invited "Forrest Gump" The screenwriter of, Vinci began to use bright colors in his films, no killers, no bad guys, and no people’s guesswork. Is it strange, yes, this is not Vinci's style, but he really did it, until today's "Social Network" is just for the little golden man.
In fact, as far as movies are concerned, many people will give up something for this. For the sake of business needs, some people’s shots are getting more and more away from their original intentions. When Coppola cried and said to his father, they even let me shoot. "The Godfather" is such rubbish, have we also considered the director's own helplessness? In fact, for the little golden man, people are always in awe of him, thinking that it is the only film recognition in the world. In fact, only those who really like movies are qualified to evaluate a truly good movie. For those Oscar winners, I also appreciate those who are willing to express their dissatisfaction with Oscars. Some filmmakers have worked hard for their entire lives and never touched the Oscar statuette; some people have made countless films and finally won the award, but they always feel that the best is not the one that won the award; some people have lost faith in the Oscar and are just indifferent. Speak up, I won't go to Oscar in the future, don't notify me. When we look back at the Oscar-winning movies, do we feel a little bit sorrowful? There is no "Shawshank's Redemption", "Pulp Fiction", "Little Sunshine", "Citizen Kane" and so on on that form. Those movies that we still regard as classics. At that time, they were more or less missed for various reasons, but today we will still remember them. The Oscars are just an annual festival of filmmakers, when everything is calm. , What we pay attention to is those movies that move us the most and personal tastes. After all, there is only one Oscar's best, and the best in your heart is what you are really moved by.
Today I did not see Vinci picking up the Golden Man, but I still hope that the stubborn Vinci who carried hundreds of pages of the "Fight Club" script will come back again. You have proven yourself and hope you continue your black movie. Dream, "Fight Club" is your best movie, I always think so.
