Reprinted: Wu Ang "The Great, Glory, Correct and Boring <The Hurt Locker>"

It’s so strange. On the night of the Oscars, I haven’t watched "The Hurt Locker", but based on my instinct, I had a foreboding that Comrade Cameron would lose the prize. When I arrived at the scene, my hunch became clearer and more accurate. Recently I've been watching the legendary American drama "Don't Lie to Me" that studies micro-expressions. I learned two tricks. The micro-expressions of Cameron and Catherine at the awards show told me that the former went to the American Spring Festival Evening Tea Party. Huan was helpless, knowing that he had made money, and embarrassed to fight for any more honors given by the organization. The latter is to lead the Oscars for the glory of anti-war and women's representatives. His expression is full of positive tension. It looks very dramatic. It is even more dramatic than Comrade Quentin who took "Shameless Bastard" to the Spring Festival Gala to join in the fun.

Hurry up the next day, I started watching "Bomb Disposal Troops" and watched it for 6 minutes. The opening scene was depressing. I knew they were dismantling the bombs and needed the patience of the onlookers. It takes extra patience from the onlookers, so while continuing to bear it, Google clicked on the highlights of the film to cheer for myself: quasi-documentary style, real scene reproduction, 1:100 film ratio, higher than the film killer "Apocalypse Now" , The female director Catherine has always paid attention to the subject of war, and this spirit is worthy of praise.

For this reason, the friendship and Gu Quan endured the situation for 10 minutes, and all the urine came out.

In short, I have dedicated 30 minutes of my life for the best picture and best director of this year's Oscars.

Once again, I can’t help but "bib" my true feelings on Weibo ( http://t.sina.com.cn ) , but I was suppressed by half of my children, to the effect that my consciousness is not high enough, documentary style The best B is better than the commercial film "Avatar". You have no right to speak until you finish watching it. It only counts if you endure it to the end. Of course, there are comrades who asked me very sincerely what the American people think of the film. I don’t even bother to answer. It seems that the American people have not issued an appraisal report. We outsiders, non-movie Axis audiences, are embarrassed to draw conclusions. of.

What is it.

Let’s talk about common sense first. Is a movie good? Isn’t the opening scene important? That's how countless boring films have given themselves a word, and I really don't believe in this evil. In the writing class, the teacher said in the first lesson: The first sentence and the first page of a book are the most important. If the reader can't read it, it is the writer's negligence. By analogy, the opening scene of a movie is the most important, causing the audience to feel depressed, and falling asleep or leaving the room for no reason is the director's negligence.

As for the opinions of the American people, the opinions of the audience of which movie are not "voted" by buying movie tickets? No matter how important the anti-war theme is, no matter how imminent it is, you also need to think about it. Without an attractive art form, it is no use. While "The Hurt Locker" won the best Oscar, it also won other honors, such as the best Oscar for the most boring, and the best Oscar for the lowest box office. Alas, it's weird, isn't "The Emperor's New Clothes" an ancient fairy tale? Isn’t it an old common sense that the emperor is not wearing clothes? Some comrades felt bored when they saw it, and they didn’t dare to say it. They thought it would arouse public anger. It would be terrible if they didn’t dare to tell the truth about a movie. This is what Director Hu Mei said: If you don’t see Confucius, you are not patriotic. Huh? Will this make the banner of Oscar's movie become synonymous with blindness? I am really worried.

Then, for the sake of the award committee, someone said: "This is an Oscar year." Tsk, a year with the highest box office record in human history, will it actually be a movie year in human history? As an unparalleled successful commercial film, "Avatar", deserves to be the winner of the small technology award? Comrade Cameron, a talented director who has devoted five years of effort and wisdom, had to give up his seat for his ex-wife, oh no, women?

It would be hard to judge if the two former parents-in-laws competed with each other and were emotionally entangled. It would be nice to sit on the sidelines and cheerful comrade Quentin, "Shameless Bastard" would be so funny.

If it is politically correct, "The Hurt Locker" is roughly equivalent to a conscientious Japanese director. In 1950, filming a film about how they dealt with the aftermath in Nanjing was definitely anti-war, and it must be humane. But the image of the people of Nanjing is certainly no different from the citizens in "The Hurt Locker". Do you dare to say that the civilian taxi driver who had two rear tires wiped out in front of the guns of American soldiers and then forced to reverse is not a righteous person? The hypnotic ability of the American military theme on political correctness has always been very strong. It is not only their handsome uniforms and excellent equipment, but also their upright temperament in front of the camera. Secretly watching these foreign soldiers from the balcony, of course, the temperament will not go where it is. Who says that the documentary style is absolutely realistic and there is absolutely no tendency? Wrong, the camera is placed in front of whoever is the protagonist, who is the right one, the shadows in the distance and the small steps running are all secondary, ignored and obscured.

Speaking of this, someone will definitely come up and give me a bunch of messy sticks. I was ready to fight the sticks. At the same time, I was cautious and made a little suggestion: next to the Oscar's main podium, should I set up a best one? Foreign language beauty award?

  • Sergeant JT Sanborn: Welcome to Bravo Company. Welcome to Camp Victory.

    Staff Sergeant William James: Ah, Camp Victory? I thought this was Camp Liberty.

    Sergeant JT Sanborn: Ah, no, they changed that about a week ago. 'Victory' sound' better.

    Staff Sergeant William James: All right. Well, good. At least we're in the right place, right?

  • Sergeant JT Sanborn: Maybe you shouldn't take this down. You know, we get a lot of mortars at night. You know, the plywood on the windows help with the lateral frag coming through. That's why it's up dere.

    Staff Sergeant William James: Yeah, well, it's not going to stop a mortar round from coming in through the roof, you know. Besides, I like the sunshine.
