Live for a long time to see the series.
Yes, you're not mistaken! Just in May of this year, a zombie film called "Zombies Is Not Dead" was not only selected for the Cannes Film Festival, but was also screened as the opening film and was nominated for the Palme d'Or.
The judges will definitely say, who hasn't watched the zombie movie, "The Walking Dead" has been broadcast for many years! There are many movies too, from "28 Days of Surprise" to "Resident Evil" series, "Zombie World War", "I Am Legend", if anyone goes online every day but has not seen a few zombie movies, it is equivalent to China People have never eaten Kung Pao Chicken!
But to say that a zombie film can be nominated for the Cannes Film Festival, and even won the Palme d’Or nomination, as wit as you will understand, this is definitely not as simple as an ordinary zombie film.
Let me talk about the director of the film first, the famous Jim Jamush! Born in Aquarius on January 22, he is known as the "Master of American Independent Film." It is said that Jia Muxu has been loved by a group of (youth) film critics headed by me 20 years ago. In 2002, he and Chen Kaige and other 15 directors co-produced the film "Ten Minutes of Old Age" can be said to represent the world of film at that time. The highest level of the altar.
(And the film reviews that I wrote for this film together with a few buddies also represented the highest level of domestic film reviews at that time!)
Jiamuxu's movies usually make people stunned and don't know what they are talking about. In fact, his style is simply "abnormal": the plot is abnormal, the characters are abnormal, and the shooting method is also abnormal.
He said: "There is usually no plot in life, why should there be a movie?"
This is actually a common problem for every Aquarius!
Jiamuxu's movies always start with a relaxed but absurd atmosphere, and then slowly lead you into his unique but charming world of light and shadow.
For example, the movie "Zombies Is Not Dead" has a weird atmosphere from the very beginning: a police car slowly drove past the empty graveyard, basically indicating the two main camps in the film. ——Zombies and police!
The following two police officers are the main actors in the film, and their backgrounds are not small:
Let me talk about this young man first, his name is Adam Driver, who is Kylo Ren in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
In particular, it is worth mentioning that he is the same in both movies, silly and cute, I really don't know how he can continue to get the film.
The older one is even more impressive, Bill Murray, the starring actor of the famous movie "Groundhog Day"
How great is "Groundhog Day", let's put it this way, it is the first film that created the theme of time reincarnation. Later movies such as Tom Cruise's "Edge of Tomorrow", what "source code", what " "Horror Cruise", "Happy Death Day", these movies have to kneel down and call Grandpa when they see "Groundhog Day".
"Terror Cruise Ship" 2009; "Source Code" 2011;
"Boundaries of Tomorrow" 2014; "Happy Death Day" 2017
After this, you will meet a person who surprises you even more. The character in the play is called Zelda, who has the same name as the wife of Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby.
The actor is ---------------------------:
That's right, it is the Gu Yi mage in "Doctor Strange"!
The handsome Tilda Swinton plays the role of a funeral home owner and a katana master in the film. She will kill the zombies alone in the second half of the film, and no one can stop.
Next, I will introduce the reasons for the occurrence of zombies. I have to say that it is actually quite perfunctory:
The polar hydraulic fracturing and mining activities somehow caused the imbalance of the earth's rotation, which greatly affected the hours of sunshine, so that the zombies were resurrected from the cemetery. In fact, you don’t have to care about how the zombie was resurrected. It’s like your girlfriend is angry. Don’t bother to study why she is angry (I don’t understand it anyway), just know the solution.
To say that the zombies in this movie are still... well, very cute. After they are resurrected, they don't just kill people blindly, but...
Yes! They rushed into a cafe and started to drink coffee frantically, not afraid of being hot, not afraid of holding up, and after drinking all the coffee, they left contentedly! If someone tells me that he is addicted to coffee, I will let him see this!
The next zombies will bloom, and there are those who like Snickers:
Some who like wireless networks:
There are also modern female zombies who like fashion:
"They will be attracted to what they did before they were alive",
After crawling out of the grave, I am still thinking about it,
Desperately pursue these things.
Seeing this, you must think the same as me. In many zombie films, this kind of setting and thinking is not too good. Can you enter Cannes with this?
Here I am going to tell you a big secret. If this film is replaced by you and me, or any Asian director, you will definitely not be able to enter Cannes! But it is only Jamu's permission.
why? Because first of all, Jamusch is a director from the United States, but an independent film director who has always been opposed to Hollywood. Each of his films bears a strong personal touch, especially his maverick anti-business model. Especially welcomed by the judges of the Cannes Film Festival-you know, the Cannes Film Festival has always followed the principle of "art first".
In addition, this year Hollywood selected Quentin's new film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" to Cannes, and Cannes must give Hollywood a slam dunk! That means you see, we like Jia Muxu's, not Quentin's.
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" will be released in one month...
Although this year's Cannes Palme d'Or Award was given to South Korea's "Parasite" directed by Bong Joon-ho, you must not think that the hearts of the Cannes judges have tilted towards Asia. Feng Junhao worked hard for so many years to be shortlisted in Cannes and won the grand prize. This year, 66-year-old Jia Muxu has been shortlisted for the Cannes main competition unit for the sixth time. If other units are included, Jia Muxu has been shortlisted in Cannes more than a dozen times.
For Jamusch, Cannes is really like his own back garden. Come and go if you want to!
As for why Jamux didn’t win the prize, it’s better to understand: This independent film director from the United States has both cultural and artistic self-confidence and no shortage of money. What does he want to award? Let's leave it to those younger directors who are struggling to make movies.
You will be relieved when you see this. As for the plot at the end of the film, is it still that important?
Even if the residents of the small town become zombies one by one, the last two policemen are already at risk. This is not important, because Jiamuxu's movie focuses on the process just like him, and doesn't care about the result.
As a friendly reminder, the ending of the film is very absurd and surreal. People who don't like it will definitely shoot the table and shout: What do I rely on.
Yes, I am one of the people who shoot the table.
Hope you like that ending!
