People always like contrast. The contrast of returning to the peak after going through a trough, the contrast of the small and the big to the weak and the strong, the contrast of the side book characters... In Hollywood, the same is true. It will be entertaining.

For example, at the Oscars earlier this year. "Crash" overcame works such as "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Aviator", and it broke out in shocking popularity and won the best film statuette. This strong contrast still affects the nerves of the media and keeps people discussing. "Little Sunshine" also focuses on this contrast. The neglect before being put into production, the lack of attention during the filming stage, and the neglect before the release make "Little Sunshine" seem to burst out of the cracks in the stone. The general, and then with the radiance of the ten thousand feet of the situation, so that the talent is dumbfounded, in addition to feeling, shocked, can only send words of praise in stunned.

This time, "Little Miss Sunshine" won Evan Bell the best film of the Gotham Award, and won the highest recognition in the field of Candle Film in the United States, which also made his name "Candle Filmmaker" completely determined. down.

"Entertainment Weekly" immediately reported on Ziyi Bell's winning the highest honor in the film industry, which once again aroused people's attention to the film.

"Since the day Candle Film was born, the battle over how to control the balance between art wood and business has never stopped. The movie kingdom has also changed from the traditional 'big company's top ten stars to the top ten' because of the addition of Candle Film. From the production mode, a new mode is broken out. A camera, an amazing idea, and a low production fee can create a movie. This is the simplest prototype of Candleri Movie.

There are many reasons for the emergence of Candle Films. People's pursuit of diversification of films, the popularization of film shooting skills have brought enough past, and the emergence of creative geniuses is not increasing... The appearance of Candle Film has enabled talented people to gain more Opportunity to show their talents in front of the audience, but at the same time, it does not exclude some gold diggers with luck, they dream of getting attention through a Candleli movie they shot and then use this as a springboard to step into the real world. gold rush. This is the inevitable result of the emergence of a new thing, and it is certain that with the emergence of talented people in the Zhuli film industry, everyone will focus on the Zhuli film, and there will be more embraces in the future. People with a lucky mentality stepped into the film industry. This also makes filmmaking and watching movies an adventure.

For the field of Zhuli film, which lacks attention in the first place, a large number of shoddy independent films will only make people feel at a loss and undermine the audience's confidence in the film, because Zhuli film relies on word of mouth.

This year, a "Little Sunshine Beauty" was born under various coincidences, bringing all the talents' attention to Zhuli Films again. If you add Evan Bell's unremitting efforts before, there will be an endless stream of outstanding works this year: "Capote", "Brokeback Mountain", "June Worm", "Abalone and Whale"... The attention received is truly unprecedented. As Neil Darcy said, "Little Miss Sunshine" created a new era of Candlestick movies.

Under this circumstance, compared to next year, the new works of the Candle Film industry will present a prosperous scene, with all kinds of films emerging one after another, and the good and the bad are uneven. If there are too many low-quality works, it will inevitably extinguish the audience's enthusiasm for the Candle Film movie. Therefore, the Gotham Award, the most important award in the film industry, was sent to the unique "Little Sunshine Beauty." I just hope to tell the audience: this is an excellent work, please pay attention!

Evan said in an interview with reporters after the Praise Ceremony, "I am still the same Evan Bell, I have never changed. Making good music and good movies is always my most important thing. Thoughts. A few light words, no vain promises and pursuits, no talent and joy and tears but convincing people.

Childlike innocence, freedom, not arrogance, innate talent, and not being moved by external things, these beautiful behaviors exist in Evan, who just turned 23 not long ago, and made him quietly become a candle in the film industry. A flag that cannot be ignored.

Looking back at Evan's trajectory along the way, from "Mysterious Skin" winning Venice's recognition, to winning his first Oscar for Best Director, Best Picture nomination, and then a stunning work "Little Beauty". It came out and won the Gotham Award, the highest award. His pace was slow and slow, and he did not lose himself because of the praise and praise from the outside world. He still calmed down and devoted himself to the production of works wholeheartedly. I remember Evan once said that the script is what he values ​​most. Talent once spit out that he was just hyping himself up, but Evan did not give any refutation, but used every footprint of his to quietly confirm his insistence.

On the surface, Little Sunshine tells the story of the Hoover family. In order to realize the beauty pageant dream of their youngest daughter, Oliver, they abandoned all the troubles in life and embarked on a road trip to chase the wild. The whole story is very simple, there is no intricate relationship between characters, there is no ups and downs in the twists and turns of talents, and there is no philosophical meaning of compassion, but from the characters themselves, from the dialogue itself, it allows reflection to happen naturally.

Life is an endless beauty pageant. When we go to school, we need to wait for the notice from the school we like; when we are employed, we need to compete for a position with the party contenders; when we are at work, we need to compete with colleagues and even the society for a living..., we Every choice must be made under the supervision of the mainstream consciousness of "life beauty pageant", which makes us forget in a trance that this is our life, or the life determined by mainstream thinking. Losers, winners, how is this judged? Is it the mainstream thinking of society, or is it ourselves?

According to mainstream social thought, the Hoovers are all losers, with no talent being an exception; but for the Hoovers themselves, even if they are not winners, they are not losers. At least, no one who watched the movie would think they were losers. In the future, the Hoover family will still have endless problems to solve, but we are willing to believe that the extra sunshine can shine into our lives.

Although this is only Evan's third film, he has already shown an amazing old-fashioned way, a language full of charm and wisdom, a black seclusion that makes people cry and laugh, and reflection highlights that come easily... even if he is not talented Deliberately showing a philosophical theme, I didn't deliberately hope to make the movie deeper, but after the movie ended, the audience started to think involuntarily, the kind of thinking that keeps circling in the belly, and even makes us think about ourselves. His life generates endless ideas, and this is Evan's best ability in the director's position.

Evan showed Jia people the so-called charm of the so-called talent that really pulls the film, and also showed us the perseverance and spirit of being a director of Zhuli. The affirmation of the Gotham Award is just a medal on Evan's road to greater and more success. In the future Candle Film world, we believe that we will see more light belonging to Evan.

So, "Do what you want and let the rest go to hell."

The "Entertainment Weekly" commentary was written by William Wood, which has attracted widespread attention from professional film critics. This is also the most watched Gotham Awards so far. After the best film, the news was released with as many as 43 media, which was the most in the 15-year history of the Gotham Awards; among them, only 12 media published the detailed news, and made a statement on the Gotham Awards. The list of winners has been evaluated, which is also the most in fifteen years; and the craze triggered by "Little Sunshine" has come again, and all talents are discussing it. ." Then press the whole awards season, whether it can continue the rise of Candle Films.

The influence of Candleli movies has always been passed down by word of mouth, the quality is uneven, the box office is bleak, the mainstream awards are disdainful, and the attention is lacking." But this time "Little Sunshine" completely reversed this impression. Going forward brazenly, even the "Four-eyed Chicken" suffered a dull loss, becoming the last straw that crushed Disney: the sturdy record in word of mouth~www.readwn.com~The instant score on Sipi' is even After being among the top 100, it ranked 98th, and 92% approval on Rotten Tomatoes. No station is the popularity of the discussion station or the brightness of word of mouth, which makes people look at independent films with admiration...

"Little Sunshine" is like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the whole of Hollywood. At this time, the recognition of a Gotham Award, and the situation of Asahi Site before the release of the work, this sharp contrast makes the "Little Sunshine Beauty" even more valuable. That bright yellow minibus galloped all the way from the barren Candlewood movie desert, leaving a sense of all the way in the oasis jungle of the mainstream media.

In fact, it was more than just the media "Little Sunshine" that had a stronger influence, but it was the echoes in the audience that "Little Sunshine" was able to counterattack in the second week of its release, surpassing the "Four Eyed Chicken" The first weekend champion of Candlestick Film in North American box office history relies on the strong box office of a single venue. The audience's word-of-mouth and strong support have spread the Hoover family in "Little Sunshine" to thousands of homes.

Although William Wood did not mention it in the commenting station, because he knew that Evan Bell did not care, but other media still added this comment, and it also spread with the momentum of "Little Sunshine". Thumb up.

"Oscar, Evan Bell is here!"
