Time is moving forward step by step towards 2010. In the disputes that will never be lacking in each award season, Murphy also gets some good news. Through unremitting public relations efforts, a considerable number of judges in the Academy tend to support him and "the wolf of Wall Street". Although this can not guarantee that he will be nominated for best director and best picture in this academy award, there is no doubt that he will win Greatly increased the chance of being on the nomination list.
At the same time, they are also working hard for the best actor nomination and the best supporting actor nomination. Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah hill are their own people.
Like Murphy, CAA and 20th century fox, they are all old people in Hollywood. Just like the film academy, people are inevitably conservative when they are old. Although their actions seem radical, they are not comparable to those who are new to the industry and want to get a share of the Oscars.
In mid December, James Cameron's ten-year masterpiece Avatar was officially released in North America, and then began to sweep the world with almost crazy momentum, about to create a new myth.
Twelve years ago, truck drivers once conquered the Oscars with commercial achievements, and held up the little golden man arrogantly at the award ceremony, shouting "I am the king of the world". With the super popularity of avatar in North America and overseas markets, many people believe that James Cameron will make a comeback.
Because Murphy knows that her style is not in line with the taste of the Oscars, and the theme and values that are not in line with the mainstream are not likely to be the choice of numerous Oscar judges. However, Murphy still has to say that Katherine Bigelow is a very outstanding female director, who is no inferior to many Hollywood directors.
Also a female director, she is much more capable than Sophia Coppola, who has countless resources behind her.
"Besides" Avatar ", I think the film's contribution to film technology is no less than the appearance of color film and audio film." Murphy sat down next to Gail gado and talked about the movie that every time he saw it, he would feel disgusted by the leading actor. "But compared with the bomb disposal unit, it's more like a CG cartoon, and its theme and content are too old-fashioned."
"Old fashioned? I don't think so. "
Gail gado totally disagrees with Murphy's words, "I don't think the story of avatar is old-fashioned, simple or not deep enough."
Murphy shrugged and asked, "what's your reason?"
"So to speak." Gail gado is obviously very independent, and will not blindly follow Murphy's point of view, "if used for analogy," Avatar "and" Star Wars "are actually folk, fairy tales, not realistic novels."
She thought for a moment and continued, "now many movie audiences are too used to the modern narrative of novels. They are used to looking for the metaphysical meaning and enlightening value judgment from the complicated and entangled stories. They like the plot full of contradictions and conflicts, as well as the innumerable stories hidden behind them."
Murphy nodded her head gently. In fact, the audience likes to interpret movies very much. They can often interpret things that the screenwriter and director didn't think of from some movies.
"But avatar, like star wars, is a story of" source story ", a very simple, original and typed motif."
The more Gail gado says, the clearer his thinking is. "That's what folktales or popular narrative poems are like. Their thoughts can't be as complicated and profound as Borges's novels, but they can't be said to be shallow or uninfective at all. I think the whole narrative of avatar is very clean and clear, and the rhythm is quite good. "
"The first half of the rhythm of Titanic is actually a bit dull and slow, while in Avatar, as the story goes on, you will naturally stand in the position of Na \'vi people - that's the advantage of distinguishing between good and evil like folktales, otherwise the audience's position will become very hesitant and confused."
Murphy shrugged, neither agreeing nor denying.
In other words, once and now together, "Avatar" has been watched many times. Every time he sees the hero betraying human beings, he wants to vomit. Especially in the final climax, he thinks that the hero will die quickly every time.
The setting of "person. Traitor" is really wonderful.
Seeing that Murphy doesn't agree with his own point of view, Gail gado can't help but put aside his mouth, and Murphy timely digs off the topic.
"It's getting late. Let's see how the dinner is going. It's Ross's first time to come here. If we don't do well, it's time for Downey to talk again." (to be continued). )
