"On", it was called , the red theme experimental movie , especially at this moment, under the towering towers of the main theme of National Day, this movie opened up another branch in the way of viewing. , In terms of the sense of praise, and the reflection of war, it has a neutral tone. It is an academy work, but it is very independent and very unofficial.
, except for "Above the Clouds".Are there any “best” dimensions that can be discussed in the finalists of the Temple of Heaven awards?
Although the awards ended last night, the film festival's screening activities are still in progress. Deepin Movies fans today are still rushing to change studios for the classics of movie history and go to the place of worship. However, when we look back at the North Film Festival in the past ten years now, we may not remember which year of the history of film worship and the feedback of the era at that time, "It’s over when it’s cool", we can’t find a coordinate, a response , Can produce the response, can only be a conclusive list of winners of the Temple of Heaven.
Although classic movies are reliable, safe, and never to be bored, the Beijing Film Festival is the Beijing Film Festival of the Temple of Heaven. Have you recognized its existence every year? , Advantages and disadvantages, and room for improvement, which cannot be intuitively obtained in the tossing and turning activities.
So this year, I basically gave up all the classic movie lists. Of course, I don’t believe that these movies will not be seen in the future China Film Archive . My focus is here. I watched all of the 15 Temple of Heaven Award shortlisted films in 9 days. I am also very clear about what valid discussions are still "hidden" in the Temple of Heaven Award. Besides the list of winners that night, it is important for an international film. International symbol of festival.
01. War, struggle
From the list of winners, you can also see that the "theme" of this year's Beijing Film Festival Temple of Heaven Awards is span strong1 _span strong _span strong1 _span4This may be a coincidence, or it may be what the current world has left over from the last century.
won the best director award "Siege Diary" , the background is the battle of Leningrad during World War II, the film was restored to millions of citizens who died of freezing and starvation. It is the emotional consciousness of people when the living conditions are completely negative, tens of degrees below zero, and only 100 grams of bread a month, the long road to find our father, and where does the strength to live come from.
Many viewers missed the opening and lost about 100 million. What is the title? It was a pair of German artillery regiments walking to the foot of Leningrad. A young officer had just got married last night. The bride woke up in a thin animal-skin garment. She went out and became tired of being coquettish with the officer. The bride wanted to play with the cannon. The officer asked her to Fired, this cannon fired near the protagonist’s house. This is the opening. A cruel comparison of the material world .
If the Temple of Heaven awards "Above the Clouds" is to praise a newcomer's teamwork consciousness, then the best director of "Siege Diaries" is to promote a director's individual consciousness. But in fact,There is another movie that can compete with it.
One session "Meeting" , its sense of form is higher than that of "Siege Diaries", after came to the Moscow Theater for 17 years, the scared the old lady _span4 More than a dozen victims of terrorist incidents who are still willing to confide in the incident. They returned to the scene of the incident, put up three-color inflatable dolls, and began to dictate the horror experience of the year one by one. Actions and oral experiences and even the real timeline overlap. In the end, the director of the theater could not tolerate the "hijacking" of the old lady, and the police were hired to settle the memorial service.
This is the way we survive today to face the pain- strong _strong _strong 10 span1 continue to speak. Because secondary pain is the main and longest suffering of human beings.
More coincidentally, on the day that "Conference" was screened at last year's Venice Film Festival , China and the United States and other countries showed almost the same day the opening highlight of the horror event strong_strong_. span4span " ,In the movie, a twenty-year-old young witness recalled that he was hiding under the locker room table, and there were bursts of gunfire outside, thinking that Batman was coming, and he was totally unsure whether this happened.
"The Conference" and "Siege Diaries" are both slow-paced movies. Together they satirize our hearts becoming too fast today.
But if you want to watch a fast-paced struggle, this Tiantan Awards also provides two recommended ones, one called " King's night" strong stage, use _strong The surreal sense of the play reflects the chaos of factions within the West African country of Côte d’Ivoire, including the post-election crisis of “one country, two masters” ten years ago. Although the film is mixed in form and has many flaws in the play, it has a strong sense of immersion, and many parts pay tribute to "City of God".
The opposite of "King's Night" is "Bird in the Cage" , adapted from the recent online experience of the real Swiss civil rights lawyer and the king of escape in the 80s. , Just to say why so many Hong Kong film plots like to deposit money in Switzerland, some netizens said that if 007 withdraws money from a rural credit cooperative, it would be weird. This "Bird in a Cage" can let you know how Switzerland will become a "tall" country.
At first you will think that the theme of the movie is the social record of the Cold War era.The hippies fought against the local police, and then the sense of legend became more and more serious, once developed into a spy movie, and in the end even directly discussed the existential philosophy of freedom!
However, in this series of processes, the image quality is not broken at all, always based on the sense of historical restoration. Finally, the female lawyer trapped in the broken body decided to let go of her mental barrier and perform surgery to restore her physical freedom. On the other side, the King of Prison Break has reached the end of his philosophy, exchanging death for absolute freedom. The last scene is a cross-editing, very shocking technique. Let's look back at the Swiss title of this movie- until we die or be free , is it suddenly clear. "Bird in the Cage" missed the Temple of Heaven Award, which is indeed regrettable.
Here you will find that the five anti-war and self-awakening works that were shortlisted for the Tiantan Award have already built up the skeleton of an international film festival. Only fans who have seen it will Realize this.
02. Girls and Women
The other end of the war theme is delicate 4span strong 10 span _span strong feminist movies.
"Snow Maiden" is the first work that aroused heated debate among the shortlisted works this year.After a young girl is assimilated by power and inciting power far greater than her own opposite sex, how can she resist potential infringements while pursuing self-worth identity? If the social structure is like this, coupled with the psychological influence created by contemporary native families, So is it necessary to absorb these injuries while growing up? Does she need to establish an early warning mechanism?
The whole movie has a uniform temperament, sensitive and sharp issues. This is also the reason why the Temple of Heaven awards the best actress in this movie. On the one hand, the young actor's natural state is precious and she has established courage to move closer to the role. On the other hand, the award of the heroine is in a sense To affirm the theme of the whole movie, is sometimes more specific than the best film, just like "Ruan Lingyu" which was screened at the Beijing Film Festival 30 years after the Berlin award.
Well, if "Snow Maiden" is the last dagger pulled out of the scabbard, then " everything about my mother" is always in the mouth Melted marshmallows. The latter pursues the world more than the former. It seeks the tolerance that people can still defeat pain in the known harmony, so in contrast, the latter relies on idealism, but there is no right or wrong here, just need Distinguish the actual position. The results of the awards are also a position put forward by the Temple of Heaven Awards.
But I feel that it is a pity that “spanstrong4span strong4span 1_spanstrong4span strong4span 1_spanstrong4span strong10span 1_spanstrong4span strong4span 1_spanstrong4span strong4span1_spanstrong ’s new work, the only veteran in the entire shortlist. Auguste had already won the top prize in the Temple of Heaven the year before. This year is actually a hat trick, because judging from the 15 shortlisted films, this " "The Oath" is the most prosperous one, and there is no work that can match it. But the film festival should encourage newcomers, not young veterans can occupy the high ground, and give screenwriter awards and supporting actress awards, which is the greatest merit.
So what does the "Oath" talk about? It's interesting. You can look at it this way. It tells a story about a newcomer to PUA in the workplace of the boss of an art culture company, but the "difficulties" encountered in gender identity and the current situation are turned upside down. It is the female boss of the PUA male employee, who is in mind control In the process, we will think again about what is the ethical boundary of art? It insulted the marriage, but it disapproved of the victim of it. "The Oath" is full of the temperament of breaking the contract,August faced such an issue really at his fingertips.
Finally talk about this supporting actress award, the Temple of Heaven awarded it not the full-strength "Company CEO Old Lady" actor, but the cowardly "Workplace PUA" who doesn't even have a Douban entry. The actor of "family victim's wife" is still the same sentence. This award is correct to anyone, but it is a question of position. Well, this is first of all August's position.
03. Life Ukiyo-e
male (political) and women (modern emotion) have a great Visibility, what about the neutral one?
Don’t get me wrong, this neutral does not mean gender, but refers to the audience in a broader sense, that is, although it is a feature film, most people can find a clear emotional counterpoint in it.
First of all, what surprised me was the longest title in the Temple of Heaven Awards, " if one day I will leave you " _strong13 _strong13 . At first, you would think that this should be a very ordinary second-generation resource work.It's the kind of movie that "I can make one if I want to make one". But this is not the case, and it is not at all.
Although it did not make it into the final list of the Temple of Heaven Awards, this story is unique and the director’s narrative strength is just right. The difficulty of the work itself made my initial imagination low. That is, you can be very sure of the director's loyalty to himself. He is neither lofty nor following steps. Judging from the 15 works, it can actually be discussed in the screenwriter and director echelon.
If the best sensation of "If one day I will leave you" is that it is not sensational, then "Parking Lot of Life" is sensational, its biggest sensation The weakness is that it exposes its own sense of sensational urgency. Every scene and every character must start and end with sensationalism. In fact, it often avoids the multiple directions of discussion. "Parking Lot of Life" is indeed very fascinating. Each character is preparing for the possibility of his own death and spiritual redemption at the same time, but in this way, what it loses is actually the sharpness of the film festival.
If you want to watch it sharp, you can also look at the span_strong13 span_strong1 span4 span_strong4 span_strong4It is a bit like another car that ran away in "The Parking Lot of Life". It has a certain vitality in the image, and the narrative tone also has a sense of difference. It is not sensational, convergent lines, and discusses death and belief. In connection, it just means that "The Parking Lot of Life" is too flat for the general audience, and "The Restless Old Woman" is too "loyal" to the Romanian New Wave. The director's inspiration comes from the collection of rural stories, but unfortunately he failed to make a stronger sublimation in the content. It seems to be stuck in a creative appeasement , without making a real point of resistance.
Of course, there is a more simple life experience film, only the 70-minute shortest work of span4span 4 in the Tiantan Awards in this year’s strong 4 School " , excluding subtitles, only 65 minutes. I saw spectators who were half an hour late entering the venue. After sitting for half an hour, the lights in the theater turned on. The school on Wei Su Hill is actually a school for children with autism . In reality, many children learn to speak from there and start communication. It is more like a children's mental hospital. The film uses a lot of documentary characteristics to track the changes in the children in this school, but suffers from the lack of overall drama, most of the characters in the film are not connected, and the characters have not been greatly developed. Then at this time, The result of the rehabilitation appeared. Its simplicity gives it a taste of public welfare works. This taste must be difficult to enter the competition track of the film festival.
04. Time Song
What is nostalgia,Nostalgia means that you are not satisfied with the current world. If you are nostalgic for a long time, you will have feelings of emptiness for the things that have passed away.
There is a severely nostalgic patient at the Temple of Heaven Awards, "The Last Film Screening" . The story comes from India. The Indian-French director Bin Naren looks back at his childhood and also looks back at the film and movie times that influenced his life.
Although there are massive descriptions of life in India in the 1980s, in terms of the overall structure, it has a naked tribute to "Paradise Cinema".
But I was still a little shocked by the ending of the movie, because everyone is talking about the final film? This play gave the answer: a truckload of old film projectors was collectively pulled to a factory in the suburbs. After the sledgehammers were dismantled, they were put into a furnace for smelting, and then repeatedly squeezed and beaten to become flat iron plates. , Then cut and processed the shape, and finally turned into rows of well-behaved and cheap spoons; in addition, piled up with waste films that have nowhere to go in the workshop, whole pieces are stuffed into the high-temperature dyeing iron pot to boil the soup, after The utensils were cooled, and countless colored plastic tubes were made, and then manually cut and simply polished to make cheap colored bracelets on the floor.
This is the most violent, cruel and scary scene I have seen this year.More than all the war films mentioned above.
The relatively optimistic one is "The Rocks of the Moon" , which also has rich references, such as "The Perfect World". But in terms of nostalgia, it is a nostalgia for an old way of communication, which is an era of wired telephones, a terminally ill little girl who was wrapped in her home to prevent talking to the world. A young criminal who has just been abandoned by the world and took risks. Two people have an adventure in the least distracting road movie.
The nostalgia of "Span 4span
" The overall emotion of rejection and disgust. That was an era when the class had not yet been locked. In the end, the little girl’s father got the enlightenment that instead of waiting for the day when his daughter dies, it is better to let her know this free world.
"This Love" also has similar themes with "A Trip to the Moon Rock". The director looks back on his childhood, he is more of a gratitude, as a minority. The family, in a unique immigration stage, is short-lived, and he also knows exactly what freedom is. Freedom is that we can live by our own feelings.
"This Love" also won the Temple of Heaven Awards, especially the music awards, it is the most relaxing affirmation of this "time theme section".
The overall look and feel of the 15 Temple of Heaven awards are still unfamiliar to the creators of strong _span 1 for the time being. His insight is the closest to our current society. In this film festival, when we rush to the classics, we must not easily pass by the present, even if the work is full of flaws, we can clearly See how far the expressiveness of the moment has gone.
The Northern Film Festival was established for eleven years and is the ninth year that the Temple of Heaven Award was released. According to the official interpretation, the core value of this award is _strong13_strong "strong13_strong" 1. Beauty and coexistence ", On the one hand, it is the ideal of the world where man and nature live in harmony; on the other hand, it promotes cultural diversity, coexistence of views, and expression of coexistence.
this year’s Temple of Heaven Awards,This tone has been achieved since the beginning of the shortlist. The keynote is that the Beijing Film Festival is the Beijing Film Festival of the Temple of Heaven Award. This year’s list of winners has already activated this tone once again and hit the extreme. According to this footstep, one day in the future, fans may no longer just run around for the screening of hundreds of classic old films, and the Tiantan Award film will become Beijing Film. The first camp for watching movies during the festival, by that time, the word "international" in the Beijing International Film Festival is the moment when it can be used as an attributive to its fullest meaning.
