Chapter 589 Youth is a kind of capital, but nostalgia only belongs to the elderly
It can be said that Chen Jingning's film review contains a lot of spoilers.
For some commercial movies, such spoilers will make the audience’s experience of watching the movie much worse.
But for a movie like "Cinema Paradiso", you are not afraid of spoilers.
After reading the movie reviews, many movie fans have become more and more excited about this movie.
Because these spoilers prove one thing, "Cinema Paradiso" is not the kind of film that makes people confused, the kind of arrogant and artistically supreme film that makes people incomprehensible.
On the contrary, the story told in this movie is so yearning and full of expectations!
Turn your attention to the Venice International Film Festival!
Li Yi is actually quite busy, because as a Chinese filmmaker, he also needs to support three other film platforms.
Even if he doesn't really like those movies.
But always have a smile on your face!
Li Yi has never been a literary film director.
Even though he has been in the industry for so many years, he still has his own understanding of movies.
But he still believes that movies are about telling stories to the audience through the use of light and shadow.
So he doesn't particularly like movies that are too personal.
The several Chinese films at the Venice Film Festival are undoubtedly very personal films.
Li Yi also has his favorite literary movies, but most of them are similar to "Cinema Paradiso". Although the pace is slow, at least in terms of story telling, it tells a complete story.
There are not too many dazzling skills, there are not too many private goods, the movie is always made for the public to see.
Of course, Li Yi can also understand them. He can see that everyone really loves movies, but they just have different ideas.
"Cinema Paradiso" was indeed very popular at the Venice Film Festival.
It is so popular that even James Dean of Dean Films, who came from North America, is trying his best to win the North American distribution rights of "Cinema Paradiso".
"We can postpone the release to November. This movie has great potential to hit the Oscars. It is nostalgic and emotional, and it tells the story of the movie. It is definitely the favorite of those old-fashioned old guys!" James Dee
En said.
It’s not difficult to understand when Li Yi thinks about it. Don’t think that any movie would interest Hollywood spoilers like Dean Films. “Cinema Paradiso” is just like what James Dean said.
"This movie is full of nostalgia. Youth is a kind of capital, but nostalgia only belongs to the elderly.
When a world collapses, you will always see some people crying, while others have smiles on their faces. Those who smile are always young people, because they look forward to the destruction of the old world.
It means the birth of a new world.
When the cinema collapsed, the smiling faces of young people and the roar of applause filled the town filled with smoke, accompanied by the sighs of the elderly.
Heaven belongs to those who are nostalgic, because it is a simple and innocent ideal of the past. The past is like a dream, so it is beautiful.
The old Alfredo said to the young Duoduo: "You are so young, the world is yours. But I am old. I don't want to listen to you anymore, I want to listen to others talking about you." Such a sincere heart, hidden
, but they are all longing for the future. Only young people are always looking forward. In the continuous flow of time, there is a little optimism and hope for faith.
I’m sure those old guys will absolutely fall in love with this movie!”
Naturally, Li Yi would not refuse.
In fact, "Cinema Paradiso" is an Italian film and it is in China. Although there are so many fans expressing their expectations, Li Yi really doesn't have too many ideas.
Because "Cinema Paradiso" is destined to be highly praised, but it is still not a commercial movie suitable for the public.
There are too many movies that are either well-received or not well-received.
But Li Yi believed what James Dean said, such a movie would at least interest the old guys at the Oscars.
Venice Film Festival, with many films appearing one after another.
Although "Cinema Paradiso" is as always a big hit this year.
But that doesn't mean there are no opponents.
In terms of program scores, "Cinema Paradiso" received a high score of 3.85 points from the Venice Film Festival program!
Among them, Italian media gave "Cinema Paradiso" a high score of 4.0, while international media gave it a score of about 3.6. The gap in media reputation is still huge!
This is not difficult to understand, after all, "Cinema Paradiso" tells a story with an Italian background.
Therefore, the Italian media naturally favored this movie even more.
The international media's ratings are relatively fair, with a score of 3.6 actually considered a high score.
"Cinema Paradiso" also ranked first in the show's ratings.
Ranked second is the equally high-profile LGBT-themed movie "Annie of the Lake".
Although "Annie's Lake" scored 3.65, which is weaker than "Cinema Paradiso"'s score of 3.85, this movie is also a hot film at this Venice Film Festival.
Similar to "Cinema Paradiso", the media generally applauded and the audience response was also very good. After the official premiere, everyone in the largest auditorium of the Venice Film Festival stood up and applauded for several minutes.
It itself is enough to prove that this movie is indeed in line with the taste of literary and artistic filmmakers.
Even though "Cinema Paradiso" was favored by Bertolt Manning and even called it a classic, he also liked "Annie in the Lake" very much.
So we can only say that "Cinema Paradiso" does have a high probability of winning an award, but the problem is that there is a difference between awards.
There is still a gap between the highest award, the Golden Lion Award and the Silver Lion Award.
After all, when everyone reports, the first thing they mention must be the Golden Lion Award, and then the rest.
Therefore, the final award is still a mystery!
Many people think that at the three major European film festivals, the chairman of the jury has unlimited power, and this is indeed the case.
But if you want to win top awards such as the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion, and the Golden Bear, you must obtain an overwhelming number of votes.
For "Cinema Paradiso", due to Bertolt Manning's favor and his relationship with this film, it seems natural that he would choose this film.
But in fact, it's really not necessarily the case.
You know, the Venice Film Festival is notoriously old-fashioned and has always followed literary and artistic standards.
And it’s hard for you to say whether Berto Manning would directly choose another film in order to avoid suspicion and to show the fairness and impartiality of the Venice Film Festival awards?
After all, no one can guarantee you in advance that your movie will win an award!
So the suspense is always there.
"Cinema Paradiso" is certainly good, but that doesn't mean other movies are bad.
This year’s Venice Film Festival has 21 films shortlisted for the main competition, which can be considered a collection of the former!
And suspense is also the repertoire of every film festival.
It is not uncommon for popular films to leave empty-handed, and this is the charm of these film festivals.
