Why do we have to give Leonardo an Oscar? - Inscription
"I thank everyone for this award, let's not take what the Earth has given us for granted, just as I don't take tonight's honor for granted." This is Leonardo DiCape Leo's acceptance speech after winning Best Actor at the 88th Academy Awards took everyone by surprise. Originally, the major media and the public all predicted today's headlines, saying "Little Plum finally won the Oscar after 22 years of running with him, and he was excited to hold the cup and shed tears on the scene", but we only guessed the first half of the sentence, but we didn't guess the accident. end of.
When people focus on the topic of Leonardo's regret and success, I am full of infinite curiosity about this "The Revenant", which has praised him as the best actor. What kind of film has been completed after waiting for 22 years Leonardo for a long time? And what kind of experience can make him turn the emotions accumulated for 22 years into this forceful sentence "It is not a matter of course to win an award"?
In the movie "The Revenant", Leonardo played Grasse, a fur hunter. During a hunt, Grasse was bitten by a mother bear who was eager to protect her cubs, although the bear was eventually killed by Grasse. He was killed, but he himself was seriously injured. The fellow captain sent John, Jim, and Glass's son to stay and look after him. But John had no intention of taking care of Glass, and he stayed only because the captain promised him a bonus. John wanted to leave Glass and left, but was stopped by Glass's son. As a result, John killed Glass's son. Jim, who was with him, didn't see it all because he left temporarily. Only Glass saw it, but he was injured. Too serious to resist John at all. When Jim returned, John tricked him into having an enemy, so they left Glass and fled. The two thought that Glass would die like this, but Glass stubbornly survived because of the belief in avenging his son. He traveled through the wild wilderness for several months, and finally found John and completed his revenge plan. .
In fact, if this is a story about survival in the wild, it is better to say that this is a call for "rebirth". Due to global warming, I went to Antarctica to find snowfields, worked in clothes that weighed dozens of pounds after being soaked in water, and even shot continuously in the ice and snow. In addition to playing well this time, Xiao Lizi really felt the environment. struggle with humans.
Glass's belief in survival stemmed from seeing a young bird flying out of the arms of his dead wife, the bird flapped its wings and flew into the sky without looking back, leaving behind a ground full of corpses and blood , it doesn't even want to linger on this land for a moment. Soon, we saw another scene where a person was sleeping with the remains of a bird next to him. In the movie, the flying birds no longer represent freedom, but hope and the rebirth of the earth. In addition, the flame in Grasse's dream is like Icarus in Greek mythology. He was a great artist and lost his way during a flight, so he collected large and small feathers and made them look like bird wings. wings, fantasizing that he can return to his hometown. Perhaps, the scorching ideal has never fallen, but the frozen earth tells us that the vibrant things will be farther and farther away from us.
Grass caught raw fish in the icy lake water and drank the snow water after the ice melted. When he was hungry, he could eat the internal organs of animals raw. On the way to escape, he would hide naked and be cut open. The horse's belly is warm, warm and soft, as if this child of the wilderness was conceived and reborn again from the womb. After several months, Glass finally found the troop who had traveled with him, but John had already fled, and the captain told him to rest. John could not escape far, but Glass insisted to find him immediately, because John was afraid I have lost too much, and the only son I am afraid of losing has already been lost. The duel between Glass and John is heart-wrenching. John does not admit his mistake. He also accuses Glass of taking revenge on himself, but Glass said to him: "It is God who takes vengeance, not me." Why did he say that? ?
My impression of Leonardo mostly stays in the role in the movie. He is an excellent actor, and almost every one of the 26 works is brilliant, but why this rare award can let him speak in the precious speech During the time to emphasize the issue of environmental protection, rather than revealing his excitement after winning the award, is there anything more important than an actor who has waited for a long time to get affirmation? I carefully checked Leonardo's information and saw several pieces of information:
In 1997, Leonardo founded his own environmental protection organization and began to devote himself to environmental protection public welfare; in
2002, Leonardo led the international Action Week for Animal Care, calling for the protection of elephants; in
2006, Leonardo contributed to the filming of two environmental protection films on ecological issues, calling for the correct treatment of water resources and emphasizing the danger of natural fuels being depleted
; Leonardo acted as the producer, narrator, and screenwriter, and produced a documentary film "The 11th Hour" reflecting the theme of environmental protection. He discussed today's environmental problems and possible solutions through detailed interviews.
In 2010, he followed WWF experts to He went to Asia to inspect the
habitats of wild tigers to learn about their living conditions and threats
; The foundation under his name announced to donate about 90 million yuan to several wildlife conservation and environmental protection groups;
since February last year, Leonardo has donated more than about 170 million yuan to environmental protection
... In addition to being an actor, Leonardo is also an environmental advocate, and this action started not when he experienced the filming of The Revenant, but from the moment he first started as an actor, not so much Leonardo After 22 years of acting career, it can be said that he has been a guardian of the environment for half his life. It turns out that the "Vengeance is God" is a warning to each of us. If human beings don't pay attention to the importance of the environment, God's punishment will really come.
Today, Leonardo is over his age. Although he is no longer the heroic young man he used to be, he is still charming and handsome. This maturity can make him calmly face the honorary "running" and the pressure of public opinion again and again. If time goes back to the year when Jack stood on the bow of the boat with his lover in his arms, he must be looking forward to the arrival of Oscar, because Youth needs to be affirmed, and there is no such composure and calmness today. And it is precisely because he has always adhered to his ideal career and strengthened his belief in life that he has achieved his charm that has not faded for 22 years.
Looking back at Glass, who had already taken revenge, at that moment, he did not feel relieved, but carried more feelings and apologies. He used to be a fur hunter who made a living by hunting animal skins. However, abandoned by humans, he survived because of the protection of nature. Perhaps, the words of today are the words he had prepared as early as 22 years ago. This time, The Revenant gave him the opportunity to say it.
Perhaps Leonardo at this time can not be called great, but he has become an indispensable part of film history. The little golden man of Xiao Lizi not only affirmed himself, but also gave many of his supporters a dream destination.
"The Revenant" is Leonardo's confession to Oscar. Success will never be taken for granted, but it's just perfect.
