Of course, of course, that's not something an audience needs to think about, but I still want to say, it's really hard. From the prototype of an idea, to the formation of a story or structure, to the joint efforts of hundreds of thousands of people to realize it as an image on the screen for two hours, there are too many collisions, quarrels, attempts and variables. At the last minute, no one knows what kind of work this will be.
Uncle An's story is well known. Accumulation is a long way to go, and it is a late bloomer. Some people say that those experiences made Ang Lee, but I don't think it is because Ang Lee is Ang Lee, so in countless impermanence and difficulties, he is still Ang Lee. For a person who is full of desire to make movies, is it difficult to be the house-husband for six years in the family? When you first entered Hollywood, you met coffee-level celebrities like Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. Facing the doubts and wait-and-sees on the set, was it difficult to earn back your respect little by little? In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yuan Heping said, the things you want, the martial arts team and the martial arts team can't do, not to mention the actors you gave me, what should I do? Later, Ang Lee said that I often do things that make people unable to perform to their fullest. It is not intentional, but I think everyone should serve the whole film, including myself. From the family trilogy, to Lust, Caution, Brokeback Mountain, to Juvenile School, Ang Lee's films have come all the way, fragile and persevering, and finally made this film Leigh Lynn's Midfield Battle".
This is a new attempt. Ang Lee felt that he should make such an attempt.
Li An is a person who is not very good at concealing himself. He often talks about his sensibility. When he is filming, he is like a child. Sometimes he is excited, sometimes crying, holding a windmill. Run towards the top of the mountain. Sometimes when I look at Ang Lee, I feel that I have seen the most sincere and clean heart of a filmmaker. That is the love of the movie, respect for the love, talk with the movie respectfully, and play seriously in the world of the movie. A while ago, during a large-scale discussion in China, the entire mainland film industry was full of smog, believe in IP, believe in getting famous as soon as possible, believe that box office is everything, and believe that the audience they think is the real audience, Ang Lee said, don't worry, slow down. Slow down. When I saw it, I laughed. It is indeed what he can say. I hope some young people will listen to it and do it.
After all, making a movie is too hard, too hard, and it’s rare that anyone can understand the struggle. I've seen countless people quit halftime, so when I saw this movie, it's true, it's probably also a halftime show for Ang Lee.
In the post-screening conversation, a young man said that he did not agree with the direction explored by the film and believed that new technologies should be used more in big scenes. Uncle An still explained it very gently. Every time a new medium appears, he likes to use big scenes and action movies to lure the audience. I don't really care about these. In fact, any subject can be shot. I think the best part of 3D is the The human face is the drama, and the scene is second. Ang Lee's pictures have always been people, people's hearts, and the drastic choices faced by people's hearts in the deepest part are the rationality and emotion after setting aside identity and etiquette, silence and calm. Therefore, this film using 120-frame technology, under the power of reality, allows the audience to better see human nature through a pair of eyes.
The film has a strong subjective perspective. From the very beginning, you can see the difference in this person from Billy Lynn's eyes. It seems to be lonely, clearly in it, but also seems to be outside. Billy Lynn became a soldier, not in the spirit of lofty ideals, just because of the situation, because he was such a person; Billy Lynn became a household name, not to be a hero, but as a person in the Critical moments, emotional outbursts and impulsiveness; Billy Lynn hesitates over his sister's suggestion, and what seems to be a vague feeling of love in the halftime show makes him even more hesitant, hesitating whether to save his life, "to avoid the He was a virgin before he died"; Billy Lynn opened the car door because he was always like that, whether he noticed it or not, no matter what other people thought he was, but he was just that. people. Why are there so few war scenes? Because it is not just war, but the feelings of an individual person when facing the whole world.
No matter how big the honor is, for most people, it is just the hot news on the headlines. Hot spots are often attached to interests, and the space for commercialization determines how much value this honor has. But the world is never short of news, and people are always too lazy to remember. What's more, in this era, who has the time to really understand a person, and it is only the labels that are used to quickly judge. Billy Lynn opened the car door. If the people outside the car never understood him, the people in the car might not really understand him, but this is the life he is familiar with, and these people know what he wants to do and what he is doing. thing. Is Billy Lynn just a soldier? I think he is a person who will always struggle, but in the end he insists on his heart. I have seen such filmmakers, such doctors, such carpenters, such NGO workers running around in four places, and such ordinary people one after another. Humans are born with individual loneliness. Fortunately, sometimes, my way is not alone.
Before the film was released, foreign media evaluations were generally not high, and it was said that there were some problems with the script. I've been thinking that the script is Ang Lee's forte, and I'm curious to know what kind of problems there will be. After watching the whole scene, there is no problem, it is just the difference between understanding and not understanding, some people do not understand the difference between others, or the difference is stinged but still unwilling to understand. And Ang Lee is by no means the Ang Lee who only photographed the juvenile pie. He has photographed men and women with food, lust, and ice storm. Even in the juvenile pie, he focuses on the heart. Of course, there is still the possibility of technical progress. In the new technology, some of the usual directing techniques are no longer useful, so I look forward to Ang Lee going deeper and further in the next exploration. But 120 frames is definitely a direction for future movies. It is true 3D, something that people can see through their eyes face to face, and it has a stronger feeling and resonance. For a long time, I haven't watched a movie, and I want to cry even though I know I can't cry.
This film, Ang Lee is also very difficult to do. Too many breakthroughs and need to overcome, successful exploration and failed exploration. After I was done, I was not satisfied and took some time down. But I like Uncle An like this very much. If you are fragile, you are fragile. If you can't do it, you can't do it. But no matter how fragile you are, no matter how you can't do it, you still have to move forward. Movies are the most important thing. Movies are really loving.
62-year-old Li An, came here.
I'd love to know where he's going.
