Chapter 265 A Kind of Futility (Earth)

The temperament of a movie is a very mysterious thing.

It sometimes gets out of the director's control, and there is a viewing experience beyond the original shooting intention.

It is sometimes purely natural, but it can also be expressed through the mature film industry.

For example, we can see loneliness from "The Pianist on the Sea", hope from "The Shawshank Redemption", tolerance from "Green Book", and "Scent of a Woman" romantic.

However, there are very few mature directors in the domestic film circle who can shoot with temperament. Domestic directors may be going through a stage of being soaked in business and not fully climbing out.

This leads to the fact that once a certain director is recognized in the circle and praised by the business, he will fall into an environment that can be called a big dye vat. The inspiration and talent are not non-existent, but distorted.

Therefore, it is often only some new directors who amaze the world, such as "Elephant Sitting Still", or the award-winning "Earth" in Cannes, or "The Wave" in front of you.

"... There is no shortage of geniuses in China, but there is a lack of a mature industrial system that can accommodate the growth of geniuses."

The surging news reporter wrote in his notebook.

At the same time, Mikami Natsuka caressed the shoulder of Kuriyama Ouri. This little girl born in 1998 is usually susceptible. When watching "The Wave", she fully realized the loneliness conveyed in the film. The little girl murmured "Cannian ですね", expressing the inaccessible loneliness of the hero and heroine in the play.

"Can we also make such a film?" An actress asked Mikami Xiahua softly.

Mikami Natsuka invited the actresses because Truman wanted to cooperate with them. Without Mikami Natsuka's sincere invitation, these actresses would not have flown all the way to the Venice Film Festival. It's time to come, what does a film festival have to do with actresses?

"Yes, Truman said, yes." Mishang Xiahua said softly.

In the broadcasting room, you can’t communicate too much, as it will disturb others. Everyone knows this truth, but they still find it incredible. They look at the light and shadow displayed on the big screen, which converges into a film that can be appreciated by the whole world. If How great it would be to make a film like this~

At this time, the plot in the movie has progressed to the last scene. The male and female protagonists are sitting on the Ferris wheel. They are sitting on the seats on one side, looking at the lights of the city of Kaohsiung. At the beginning, they are sitting together and whispering. Yes, as the ferris wheel gradually rose, both of them fell silent, and at some point, they also separated.

When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, the heroine made a strange move. She stood up and put her head against the glass, as if she would have jumped off without the heavy glass, while the heroine held on tight from behind. Hugging her tightly, they remained motionless, and the two returned to the original point.

It seems to symbolize the powerlessness of the two people in this world. After walking out of the Ferris wheel, the two people looked at each other and smiled, no one said anything, and they went in opposite directions.

Some people say that love surpasses everything, and the harmony of souls is the fulfillment of this life. This foreign couple is a complete soul mate, but they still have to separate. The film does not explain why they broke up, but only shows how they love each other.

Obviously this is just a fragment of their lives, and they will have new lovers soon, or they will not be accompanied by such souls, but they will live happily after all.

Maybe this is an ending, the hero or heroine will encounter disaster soon, and the remaining person will commemorate the love between them for life, but that love is only in the palace and cannot become a reality.

The short 40-minute film gives people a sense of "futility" besides "lonely".

Falling in love is futile, separation is futile, soul companionship is futile, and all efforts are futile, including the heroine's attempt to jump off the Ferris wheel. Unable to open, even if you want to sacrifice yourself for love, it is futile, the futility of life traps all possibilities.

Kazuo Kuro sat in the front row, he only felt a sense of trembling from his soul, because this movie gave him a feeling too similar to "Snow Country", Kawabata Yasunari is good at describing a kind of helplessness with short and beautiful words Hei Yixiong is also proficient in Chinese literature, and Li Qingzhao's "One Kind of Lovesickness, Two Kinds of Sorrows" is also an outstanding interpretation of this kind of small but beautiful.

"The Wave" is very much in line with the aesthetics of the Japanese. The Japanese like such small and beautiful literary creations or film creations. It is a pity that Kazuo Kuro has decided not to vote for "The Wave" and will stop "The Wave" award.

Not for anything else, just because it is impossible for him to let the name of the AV actress appear on the award list of the Venice Film Festival, that would be the biggest insult to the field of Japanese film culture!
……

The movie screening is over.

Lu Linlang looked expectantly at the venue.

She heard that the audience would give a standing ovation when they saw a good movie, but what about Truman's applause?

No.

The audience was whispering, or packing up their things and preparing to leave, and the reporter was hurriedly recording in their notebooks. Lu Linlang was disappointed by this indifferent scene.

Truman's fans are also waiting quietly. Shen Yining is very clear that a screening cannot determine whether "The Wave" will win an award, at least there is only one judge who can determine the award. In this viewing hall, no matter how enthusiastic the fans are , and cannot affect the other six.

If you want to help Truman get his honor, you should first look at the audience's reaction to "The Wave".

This reaction also made fans bite their lips. It seems that it is very difficult to win the prize this time.

clap clap clap!
At this time, applause rang out, and it was Xing Shuwen who was applauding, and then Xiangjiang reporters including Chen Weixun, as well as other reporters from China, started applauding. took a photo.

……

"Sister Linlang, the comprehensive score of the Chinese program is 4.6, the ISC program is 3.3, the Italian program is 3.8, and the international program is 4.0." Ting Jun took out her collected program and reported to Lu Linlang.

"You don't need to read the Chinese show brochure, who has the highest score in the other show brochures?" Lu Linlang asked.

"At present, the highest scores in other short film sections are "Angry Afternoon" and "King of Belgium", and the scores of the three show programs are all above 4.3." Ting Jun said.

"Angry Afternoon" is the work of Spanish director Raul Arewald, and "The King of Belgium" is the work of Belgian director Peter Blosen. Both of them are not well-known in the mainland, but they are international second- and third-tier directors. The annual Venice Film Festival is happy to discover this kind of director who is only famous within the borders of the country.

"There is little hope." Lu Linlang looked at Trumen.

"The director of "Joker", Todd, also came to the Venice Film Festival." But Truman talked about another topic.

"Yes, he is also a member of the jury." Lu Linlang said, "Why did you mention him?"

"I admire him very much," Truman said.

Lu Linlang glanced at Truman, what do you mean you admire him so much, what qualifications do you have to appreciate him?
