Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, awards season is approaching.
From the announced list of nominations, we can actually see which movie is this year’s most popular film at the Academy Awards.
One is "The Shawshank Redemption" which was nominated for seven heavyweight awards including Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Picture.
"The Shawshank Redemption" has many fans, and it can be said that its reputation still remains high.
Many people love this movie and like this movie.
To the dismay of many Hollywood directors, another popular film this year was also produced by the miracle director from China, Li Yi.
"untouchable"!
In fact, the original version of "The Intouchables" can be said to be somewhat similar to "The Shawshank Redemption". The original version of "The Intouchables" set a box office record for French-language films, but it did not win many awards.
In contrast, "The Shawshank Redemption" failed at the box office and failed in awards, but it was praised as a masterpiece.
In this world, Li Yi's version of "The Intouchables" is the English version, and although some things are used in the original version, there are also some subtle changes.
Coupled with the popularity of the subject matter and the public relations of the Hollywood giant Dean Films, "The Intouchables" also received almost the same nomination as "The Shawshank Redemption".
There’s even one more, best soundtrack!
And Li Yi was nominated for the best director of two movies by himself! It can be said that it made countless Chinese movie fans feel that this time it was done.
But in fact, Li Yi really didn't have much expectations.
Why?
In fact, if it had been ten years earlier, the probability of winning the award might have been higher, and at that time the Academy Awards were not as outrageous as they are now.
Although the influence of the Oscar Film Awards has completely surpassed the three major European awards, in fact, in terms of influence, it has really gone from bad to worse.
More nominations means it is popular, which means it has a higher probability of hitting the target, but don't forget that there have been many cases of Oscar nominations being weak but leaving empty-handed.
With the announcement of the nominations, interpretations of the movie have also begun to become more popular.
In particular, the two films "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Untouchables" can be said to have their own fans.
Film critics will naturally not miss this wave of Oscar nomination traffic.
They all took action.
Famous film critic John Trump defended "The Untouchables" in his personal column in the Los Angeles Times.
"When you feel irritable, you don't want to be hysterical. A movie like this is just right. It can smooth out the wrinkles in your heart with hearty laughter. At the end, the smile on your face that cannot be removed confirms your appreciation for this period of light and shadow.
The meaning is still not finished.
Two people with very different identities and status met by chance. This friendship must be God's arrangement.
Driss was born in a slum and had various criminal records, while Philip was a rich disabled person, a mix of black and white. The two gradually developed a strong friendship while caring for and being cared for. The bond of this friendship is not only dependence, but also more.
It was inner communication and understanding that allowed Philip to let Driss leave: "After all, you can't take care of a disabled person for a lifetime." Only then would Driss come back to take Philip out to relax when his condition was not good. In fact, the two of them
People have long gone beyond the employment relationship and become irreversible.
I fell in love with Driss's optimism, freedom and even generosity. His actions were extremely inconsistent with the upper class society where Philip lived, but they brought endless bright colors to Philip's dull life, like a spurt of vitality.
, slowly awakening Philip's old heart due to his stagnant body. He marveled at the value of "a puddle of nosebleeds" incredulously at the paintings in the art gallery, he laughed at "A Singing Tree" in the opera house, and he
At Philip's birthday party, he seriously mocked the classical music, he scolded the neighbor who parked his car and "feather dusted" him for dumping Philip's little daughter, he cut Philip various beards, and he was so frightened that he yelled while skydiving.
.....These humorous jokes, big and small, make me laugh, and sometimes even make me dumbfounded.
Humor is the radiant point of the film, and the warm friendship that ripples in the aftertaste of the humor makes me want to be greedy. The smile lingers on my face for a long time. There are so many people in the world who sympathize with me, but you understand me best and understand that I just want to
As an ordinary person, those sarcasm and ridicule have nothing to do with me. I just want to love and enjoy like a normal person.
It's hard to find a true friend, it's easy to find someone to talk to, but the word "understanding" is extremely precious. Fate is always a gift from God. Being grateful and cherishing it is the best reward. Cherishing each other in the light of night. At this time, I am
Looking at their joy outside the image, I have already forgotten myself.
This kind of narration is always better than the story. It is never eager for quick success, but it reveals a kind of elegance and fun in every gesture, and inadvertently shows a unique sentiment. Most similar movies tend to prefer to highlight it.
The cruelty of reality is used to show the suffering of life after disability, but it ignores what it really wants to express.
In my opinion, such a display itself is a kind of discrimination and an unequal treatment, because the position is already on the side of the sympathizer.
"The Intouchables" is just the opposite, it shows a more different kind of luxury. Obviously this movie can no longer be called a niche, but it still pays attention to the mood and is tolerant of various arts.
, talk about the enjoyment of sex without lust...
It's so nice to have it with you on this peaceful afternoon.
"The Intouchables" is definitely the best of its kind and deserves an Oscar!"
Similarly, another famous film critic, Nick, also warmed up "The Shawshank Redemption" in his column.
What’s interesting is that his opening chapter refers to the old Brooks in “The Shawshank Redemption”!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! ""Old Bu is here for a visit!"
He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a solemn expression, and his sculpting hands were trembling slightly.
This old man, who had been in prison for decades, did not feel any joy once he left the cage of Shawshank Prison. Instead, he chose death. To him, the free and real society seemed like a prison without walls.
It's more terrifying than a walled prison. I wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep because of fear. I have no one to guide me and my peers, so I can't adapt to this strange world.
Stumbling to bag goods in the supermarket, every wrinkle on my face is filled with fear and sinking in despair. Sitting on a bench in the park, my loneliness is better than the small grid in Shawshank Prison. My only wish is
Will the free bird come back to take a look at this lonely old man?
This makes us unable to help but pay attention to this group. Is Lao Bu's fate the purpose of society's punishment of criminals? Many years ago, he may have committed a heinous crime, but decades later, he was just an old man in his dying years.
But he was walking in a society that was decades apart from what he knew, and he was at a loss when he saw strange new technologies. At this time, have you ever thought about walking into the screen and comforting this old man? He is not like you.
Is your grandfather the same age? He no longer has the power to harm society.
How many people watched "The Shawshank Redemption" and were fascinated by Andy's personal heroism. Of course, I will also be shocked by his ability to survive. But not everyone has such power.
In fact, there are first rows and last rows in the classroom, and people must sit in them.
There are great men and criminals in society. Some people push history forward, while others hold it back.
What we can do is to improve the overall level instead of everyone admiring great men. After all, great men are a minority among the minority, and the same is true for heroes. It is actually unrealistic to use all the power to cultivate a hero. Are you willing?
To help others? So why not let everyone work hard to move forward.
So I am willing to believe that the director is using the method of telling heroism to promote humanistic care.
Although he said, "Some birds will not be imprisoned because their feathers are so beautiful!" But there are not many such birds.
There is only one "Shawshank Redemption" in this world, of course you can say that there are other prison break movies.
Yes, "Cowardice imprisons a person's soul. I hope I can make you feel free. The strong save themselves, and the saints save others." Many male protagonists who escaped from prison in similar films also expressed an attitude while practicing this sentence.
, they are all efforts for innocence. If the system is perfect enough that there are no unjust cases, they will not appear. It is because society does not pay attention to this aspect, so they will surface. Just like there is no hatred without reason,
There is no resistance without reason.
I think I will always remember the sadness and loneliness of Lao Bu after he was released from prison. It was the silent struggle of a neglected group.
Rhett and Lao Bu took different paths in life with the same loneliness. This is the power of hope.
Andy is not so much a guiding saint as he is a representative of the power of thought, a tenacious attitude of self-rescue, and a sense of struggle. We are unwilling to let this "miracle" created by the director become a "flash in the pan"
It has never been heard, so I believe that such a film will still be remembered even if it circulates for decades. Everyone can feel the hope that the film brings to people. Everyone can save themselves and others, as long as you are willing.
The large blue water that appears at the end of the film is in sharp contrast to the oppression of the prison. It is the most dazzling and comfortable blue I have ever seen. It is the color of freedom. When you cross what you think is impossible,
You can also have the beauty of prosperity and blooming in your life.
Doesn't a movie like this deserve an Oscar?
Maybe not having an Oscar trophy would make this movie even greater?"
Because "The Intouchables" was released not long ago, it appears to be more fresh, and naturally its popularity is higher than that of "The Shawshank Redemption".
There are also more related reports and interpretations.
The famous old-school film critic Nicks can be said to like this movie to the extreme.
He has posted several related film reviews before.
Naturally, he won't miss it this time. However, this time his theme is a little different.
The key words are: elegance!
"Life is inherently elegant and happy. It has nothing to do with anything other than life, the level you are at, or the misfortune you are experiencing now. It has nothing to do with your soul, as long as you have a happy and sunny soul.
, feel the love in life, no matter what you are experiencing in your life, your life will be happy and elegant.
This is a movie about friendship. This friendship allows us as the audience to experience the joy of it. People have long forgotten the disparity in status between them, or maybe this is just the wishful thinking of us laypeople.
There is no such thing as status in their relationship, there is only the joy of the collision of two strong vitalities. In fact, this is a gift from God to them and to those who are lucky enough to see this movie. "God" does it silently
Through it all, the gods gave life kindness, love, and of course art, which gave life its joy and grace.
When the two characters were introduced at the beginning of the movie, I admit that a classic Hollywood movie plot pattern appeared in my mind: an injured rich man who laments his unhappy life, because of the intrusion of a young black man full of vigor, after passing
After a period of running-in, conflict, and misunderstanding, the two became good friends, and the rich man found the true meaning of life...
Yes, I really thought it was such a story. After reading it, I felt a little contempt for myself: Why am I so cliché?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This movie uses two standard cliché characters to interpret a story that is full of spirituality, close to people's hearts, warm and caring, and full of wisdom.
The movie progresses between these two characters, but sorry, there is no tangled dramatic conflict you want. After the movie officially started, we fully understood the complete characteristics of the two characters, but there was no spark that we expected later.
The conflict does not hinder the excitement of the story at all, because of these two lovely characters.
According to me, these two people have a natural conflict. It is a collision between the highest and lowest levels of society. But in this lovely movie, this did not happen. The relationship between the two was from the beginning.
Equal, there is neither Philip's arrogance nor Darius's bitterness and hatred. The differences between them did not create conflicts, but created countless happiness. Moreover, the film tilted the balance slightly towards Philip, and Darius was like
The living treasure brought him happiness that he had never had before, and it also brought us happiness.
The existence of the two seems so natural, without any artificial feeling, which makes you feel that this is not a movie but a real existence. No matter they face various misfortunes in their lives, they can face them gracefully and calmly.
They have such elegant and sunny souls, and their relationship is also so touching. They can fully reveal themselves in front of each other and show their true colors. You have your classical music, and I have my rock music.
, this is a colorful and harmonious world. Such a setting and angle full of humanistic care reflects the creative height of the artist as an artist, his eternal care for people, his outstanding taste and his convincing spirituality.
This is a movie with a soul. It describes the best soul state of a person in this world and the best relationship between people. No matter what is happening around us, we can all respond with elegance.
Face it in a different way, without so much suffering and hatred. Let the boundless and beautiful world of art always accompany you, make you strong and happy, and let you bring elegance and happiness to the people around you.
No matter how you come, what you leave behind when you leave is a work of art."
