one is that Meryl Streep is true to herself ("Delicious Relationship" and "Love is Complicated" won two Best Female Music/Comedy Nominated for the lead role), one is the encounter between Cameron and Katherine (The Hurt Locker and Avatar compete for best director and best picture).
In other words, although Catherine said that she is very happy to be able to compete with so many high-level directors on the same stage.
In fact, the subtext should be, not only Cameron you can make movies.
If it weren't for a "Hurt Locker" that let me know this woman who has been named "Cameron" ex-wife.
Maybe I'll miss this "Man" after all.
There have always been very few female directors, and I don't know many of them.
When I was a child, I watched "Autumn Fairy Tale", "City of Glass" and "Beijing's Music and Road".
She was still a yellow-haired girl back then. The actors don't even recognize a few, let alone the director's name.
It's thanks to me that I remembered it earlier, and I recorded these films along the way. More than ten years have passed and I haven't seen it again.
At that time, I knew that these stories were told very slowly, the male and female protagonists were very entangled, and my father did not like to read them.
Later, after watching "Piano Lesson" and Lao Xu's many films, I became more convinced that female directors have always been very sticky and made tears.
Thinking about it, it is precisely because of this that these films are meticulous and moving when male directors are rampant in the world (it also has a certain relationship with me being a girl).
Women have always been indulged in sensibility, entangled in the little sentiments and obsessions in their hearts. As a female director, you can discover the mysteries and convey them appropriately through images.
This is both an advantage and a fatal injury - the film will never be uplifted, and it has always become the theoretical backbone of the petty bourgeoisie girls who are sad in spring and autumn.
If I watched "The Hurt Locker" without knowing the director, I would never have imagined that it would be an aunt in her late sixties.
She is over 180 tall and has brown hair and a sweet smile, which is quite incompatible with the powerful image style and profound rational analysis in the film.
"The Hurt Locker" is the only film I've seen that reflects the Iraq War.
Americans were so impressed with the Vietnam War that the war films of the 1980s and 1990s pointed to the Vietnam War like incontinence.
Oliver Stone has made a name for himself as a great director with Born on the Fourth of July and Field Platoon.
Stallone has also become a tough guy that no one can replace because of "First Blood", which always fails.
Even in the 21st century, Wallace is still turning over the old accounts of American history ("We Were Soldiers").
So when the 9/11 reflection subsided, the voices of protests against the Iraq War and the aftermath of the aftermath lingered, our Catherine turned her eyes to the Middle East.
Fortunately, she is not talking about the destruction of the family caused by the war from the perspective of a woman.
She very manly told the story of men.
It's about war. It's not about war.
What struck me the most about the film was the imitation record.
A hand-held camera panned from beginning to end, and halfway through, I almost vomited out of my poor balance.
No stunts. The soundtrack is simple. It touches the eye every time it appears.
It is precisely because of this simplicity and directness that the film is outstanding.
A true reflection of the bits and pieces of a war. Introverted, not showy.
The film is not like the previous war films. The TNT and ketchup exchanged for a lot of money are bombed all over the place, and then the picture is bloody and broken. The actor opened his eyes and distorted his expression and wrote the word fear on his forehead.
Catherine wisely chose the role of the bomb disposal unit, without the need for too much money and too many weapons and equipment.
Just the actor pulling this little pliers through the middle of a pile of cables is enough to make the audience tremble.
In the past movies, the bomb disposal must be the climax of the movie. Not to mention it was a false alarm.
And every dismantling. The timer must have a few seconds left to stop. The remote control must remove the danger before detonating.
Catherine shows a total of 5 bomb disposals in the film. Upgrade every time.
From the little plastic bags that started hiding on the side of the road to the twists and turns on the streets. It took half a day to find the human flesh bomb that was detonated from the dead or the living.
Probably speaking, there was only one more time in the movie before, and it was hit as soon as it was dismantled. There are five here, and one should be blasted.
As a result, she exploded. And it exploded twice. And it was the first and last time it exploded.
One died and one was injured.
So, bomb disposal is sometimes more than a technical job.
There is no absolute climax in the whole film. Instead, the small climax formed by 5 bomb disposals constitutes the ups and downs of the story.
The film also does not have too bright stars, people know at a glance that it is the kind that will live to the end.
Guy hangs up as soon as he comes out. Change our protagonist to play, and play hand-to-hand.
There is no stage for the little robot that made me curious.
When Fiennes showed his face, I thought that if I didn't make a red flower, I would become a green leaf. As a result, 2 minutes later, he also became cannon fodder.
The bomb disposal unit composed of three people did not know which one would say goodbye in advance because of the cold gun that was released in the corner or the wrong line being cut.
The suspense was always there. Tension continued.
In fact, if you look closely, you can still see how delicate Catherine is as a woman.
For example, the handling of the characters' emotions and psychological changes is quite appropriate.
The emotional trend of the whole film is quite introverted and refined.
Because it is a battlefield, life and death are at stake. Therefore, it is impossible to easily let go of reason and let emotions prevail.
Then the director elaborated the treatment: take off the bomb disposal vest, hand over water, the face is covered with yellow sand and the vigilance that has never been relaxed. Wipe off the sweat, reach into the bloody corpse to defuse a bomb. The hustle and bustle of the surrounding scene is blurred, and the blood has faded from the body in the shower. Hesitating when shopping in the supermarket, picking up a leaf in the room, etc.
What we're seeing is a little bit of internalization of the damage.
William's pretentious face when he first arrived on the battlefield was gone when he stepped off the plane again.
Instead, there are narrowed eyes looking at the sunlight and the kites flying under the clear sky.
It is the incomprehension of a normal life.
To paraphrase Quentin's words: take off this costume, and you are marked too.
I'm not a military fan, so I won't be enthusiastic about it after watching it. It touches the pain-like sadness from time to time skipped the bottom of my heart.
The way William takes off his uniform is really not as handsome as he is on the battlefield.
At that moment, I seemed to see Stallone wandering the streets alone and being discriminated and abandoned by the world.
"Hurricane assault in combat can often be addictive, intense and deadly; because war is like a drug."
For William, he may be obsessed with the excitement and the most direct touch to life in war.
At that moment, they are souls standing at the intersection of life and death.
Look to life, or look to death, to confirm your existence with truth and firmness.
The enemy is not embodied in the film, always distant and blurred in the sights and telescopes.
They are like a crisis lurking from time to time in a state of war, reaching the lifeline of life and death.
At that time, the so-called justice has long been irrelevant. Survival is the only instinct. The final winner may not be truly glorious.
When I watched "Field Platoon" a few years ago, I firmly believed that war is only a game for a few people. All those who fought were wounded.
It was such a deformed injury that made William unable to stop.
Such a life can ignite the most simple and essential hope of life.
In the end, the war does not bring victory or defeat.
War brings only division.
The division of the warring parties. and the fragmentation of the self.
The Hurt Locker, silly and simple.
In 2009, Catherine made a splash with this simple effort.
And let us gradually know that "Cameron's ex-wife" is not just her only title.
Gossip, such a strong woman, how can the control mad Cameron bear it?
Brother Chun is very manly. The image of the man is the image.
Catherine is also very manly. The man's son is the connotation.
