Some of the people who criticize Marie Antoinette like (or at least have seen) Lost in Translation, after all, the former is a commercial blockbuster and attracts more eyeball. 40 million investment, Rococo gorgeous----many mm really aimed at these, watching it as a fashion film like Queen Prada, and watching it very high; and those who expected to see the grand revolutionary history, Or the people of Zweigge's court beauty, although the music in the title is already prepared, but so evasive, it still makes them faint. Shallow and empty.
The carriage flew by. Like Marie, who was first in France, she didn't know what the movie would bring us. The novel court etiquette, and the occasional swaying shots in addition to the line drawing, make people feel a little familiar. It wasn't until she stepped into the bedroom and the girl looked around, that she suddenly realized: it was still the Sofia, the so-called magnificent era, the gorgeous set, but it was just a shell, it was still the same her, from the streets of Tokyo to Versailles, Gu Ziruo walk back and forth.
Extremely appreciate Sofia's aura, able to use the lens to express the inadvertent loneliness in the midst of prosperity. By the window of the palace hall, in a corner of the dance party, he left in a flash. I can not belong to this world, I can find the life I like. She likes the time in the farmhouse, being comfortable with nature, and even being really close to people; but she knows that she doesn't quite fit here, even if she leaves with nothing but emptiness.
In a similar mood, I was often speechless, so I admired her even more. I have recommended Lost in Translation to many people, my favorite movie of this century. Different people have different feelings, like or boring. After a long time, you can probably feel the pattern, and it even seems to be the touchstone: you can also experience this People with different atmospheres can resonate together.
It's too personal.... In fact, the film doesn't have to be exquisite and perfect everywhere, sometimes it's just a novel angle, and it's good enough to make people appreciate it. Just like "Pan's Labyrinth", who would have thought that in addition to "Saving Private Ryan" or even "Life is Beautiful", a World War II film could tell stories like this? Making a veil with the times and dancing in the mood, such a "historical drama" is already a successful attempt. In fact, "Pan" and "Ma" are the dreams of little girls in reality. One has died and the other has the strength to be blurred for a long time.
Feng Xiaogang once talked about the relationship between director and investment. No matter how bad the film is, the investor only cares about how much profit the final box office will generate; and after the director has become famous by making small productions, he also needs to prove himself by making lucrative films, so as to get more investment. "Night Banquet" was sold to Japan, and people asked what was the special feature of the film? Played by Zhang Ziyi. ok, the big star will have a box office, so I bought it and made a lot of money by hyping it up. Yes, what other films has this Director Feng made before? "A World Without Thieves". Well, it is estimated that you can make money, and buy it. . . . So Feng Dao can now either get the investment to make a big production, or he can make two art films to return. Roll and roll, for this purpose, hype is a very normal means.
Sofia is a failure from this point of view, and half of the 40 million is recovered. Anyway, the investor is Japanese.... On the other hand, she is also successful (likes and dislikes vulgar sentence patterns...), at least she can clearly leave her traces in this commercial film. I just don't know how many times I can try this again.
