There was a moment where I knew the Oscars weren't everything for movies. So I browsed the group films and experienced a lot of movies other than the Oscars. Then I learned about awards like Cannes, Sundance, Berlin, etc.
Feng Xiaogang once said on Lu Yu's appointment, don't think that the awards of those film festivals are more gold than the Oscars, those are good movies. There are some movies that don't even get done and become the opening movie (probably a reference to Blueberry Nights).
Then Oscar turned 80. Although this year's scenes are still brilliant and powerful, but seeing the 80-year-old clips attacking you like a thousand cuts, you are still convinced by the weight of Oscar. In contrast, these films at the Cannes-Berlin-Venice Film Festival are more exaggerated.
Therefore, it is very undesirable for a movie to gain popularity by hitting a certain award or winning a certain award. But there is an indisputable fact: only through film festivals can these films become famous in the world. Some Chinese movie fans will despise Wang Xiaoshuai's "film festival-oriented" style, but foreigners can learn about Chinese films through the film festival, and it is amazing that the Oscars can accommodate Ang Lee and Jackie Chan.
Back to "The Other Side of Heaven", a well-deserved best screenwriter (even though I still don't know the criteria for these awards). The two families are connected through a tumultuous mother-daughter pair, and together they arrive at a process of intergenerational awareness and understanding. In this small land of Europe, there are so many different languages ​​in circulation. The speed of development varies among neighbors, and only the ultimate care for human nature can span distance and language.
The director's omission is very eye-catching! It's like arranging the positions of several straight lines, and predicting the beauty of the intersection of those straight lines through the audience's own logical logic.
