First, the 71st Golden Globe Awards ceremony came to an end, and then the nominations for the 86th Oscars were announced. The upsurge of the 2013 awards season is climbing to the top step by step. Not only the whole North American film market, but also other film markets in Europe, South America, Australia and Asia can't wait to cast their eyes, Looking forward to the annual grand meeting.
Hidden behind the dazzling light and discussion heat of the award season, the 30th Sundance Film Festival and the 64th Berlin Film Festival seem to be quietly forgotten. In front of the giant of the Oscar season, the situation of Sundance and Berlin is becoming more and more difficult, but they still stick to the small land of film art.
The annual Sundance Film Festival has quietly opened in park city while the whole North American market is discussing the Oscar nomination list.
The snow capped Park City is like an ink painting. Black and white are intertwined in the gray world. Little by little, the sharp lines of the city are outlined. The precipitous cliffs, the towering churches, the winding paths, the neat houses... The lines of the world seem to have been all blurred under the snow, but still stubbornly reveal a touch of grandeur.
The cold and bleak outdoors are all blocked outside the wooden buildings of the cafe. The sound of burning firewood comes from the fireplace, adding a touch of silence to the slow flowing music. The warm air flows through the fingertips and the fingertips of both feet, and even the cream light becomes soft and graceful, In the severe winter, there are some lazy idleness and coziness.
All of a sudden, there was a whistling wind outside the window.
Lan Li's eyes left his books and looked out of the window. Then he saw the withered branches swaying violently in the cold wind. "Suddenly, like a spring breeze, thousands of pear trees bloom." this seems to be the best portrayal of the beautiful scenery in front of him. He saw the big "pear flowers" fluttering with the wind, Sprinkled on the ground above the thick snow, or deep or shallow to leave the traces of the stars, as the stars fall down in the sky.
Bleak but magnificent, quiet but moving.
Outside the eaves, there are some snowflakes again, but I can't tell whether it's snowing again, or whether the cold wind has lifted the snow on the forest and the cliff... The whole world has become hazy and trance, and then you can see two figures walking side by side through the window, stepping on the snow, even though the cold wind is blowing, But their faces are full of excitement and excitement, dancing and talking, like a touch of warm sun, lighting up the winter haze.
"You say, what movie have they just seen?" Luna Marla is just opposite to lanli. Unconsciously, she puts down her book and looks out along lanli's line of sight. Her smile rises lightly.
Lan Li didn't answer immediately. He looked at their faces and said, "God helps the girl."
Rooney's voice immediately rose slightly. "Hey, you're not allowed to peek at my answers."
"Then I'll change an answer," he said, "Dear white people."
"Oh? Why? These are two white people. How can they discuss "Dear white people" so happily Asked Rooney with interest.
"God helps the girl" and "Dear white people" are the entries of the main competition unit of this year's Sundance Film Festival. They have been premiered one after another. Both of them are the first works of young directors, showing a different perspective in their first works——
The former focuses on a group of teenagers who suffer from emotional problems, and finds an outlet in the hospital with music; The latter focuses on the race issue in Ivy League schools, and discusses many sensitive issues in contemporary society with a relatively humorous and ironic black humor, of which race is only a part.
After the premiere of the two works, they both received a lot of praise. The theme, content and expression are not the most common mainstream form in Hollywood. The vitality and vitality of new directors can be clearly felt, which is exactly the spirit that the Sundance Film Festival has been encouraging.
At this moment, the two figures outside the window are happy and exuberant. "God helps the girl" is such a little fresh and healing Scottish work. There is a lazy and casual feeling flowing in the camera screen. After watching the film, it can really make people feel happy, and even make people want to sing softly.
Therefore, the first guess of Langley and Rooney is this work.
"Dear white people" is another kind of work. Its overall tone is also relaxed and yuppie, just like discussing a storm in the teacup of afternoon tea. The perception and experience are very unique; But as Rooney said, in the final analysis, its creative foundation is black culture. For those who don't understand black culture, the differences in viewing films caused by cultural gap are inevitable.
Lanli gently raised her chin and indicated with her eyes, "that girl, she is dressed in Bohemian style, and the cloth bag on her shoulder is also made of hand-made canvas. It can be seen that she should be a girl from the middle class or elite class, and she has her own views on humanitarianism and gender equality."
"Is that all?" Rooney has carefully captured the details of what Langley said, but still said deliberately.
"Look at the boy again." Then he said.
But LUNI actively interrupted lanli's words, "the boy has no characteristics, looks like an ordinary college student."
"Yes, that's it. He doesn't seem to have many characteristics, just like the countless ordinary students in the Ivy League schools, especially the children of rich families, suits and ties, sportsmen and Wall Street heirs, just like the twin brothers in the 'social network'. They don't need too many ideas, they just need to inherit the legacy of their parents step by step, and they can be successful all their lives, So there are very few personality traits in them
The words of Lan Li were accurate and sharp, and the information that had been hidden in the corner was gradually becoming clear. This is exactly the group that Rand and Ru are most familiar with because they are such a member of the family background, but Lan Li has not concealed the tuckus and jokes in the words, which make complaints about her smile slowly.
"But you should notice that boys and girls are constantly expressing their opinions. It seems that there are some differences. Girls are gaining the upper hand and boys are trying to express their positions. In fact, this is often seen in Ivy League schools such as Harvard University - the rich man falls in love with the common girl who enters the famous school with his own efforts, and their thoughts and ideas collide violently. What about? Is the story familiar? "
LUNI noticed the pride in lanli's words - if the two people were watching "Dear white people", then it really made sense, but LUNI didn't want lanli to be a beauty expert and frowned at lanli on purpose, "no, then your first answer just won't hold water."
If it is "God helps the girl", then the analysis just made by Langley is all bullshit.
Blue Li but silk didn't mind ground shrug a shoulder, "this see you how to unscramble.". Sometimes, the same dress is blue in the eyes of some people and purple in the eyes of others. There has never been a correct answer to this question, and the arguments arising in the process of exploring the truth are precisely the driving force of social progress. "
The smile at the bottom of her eyes piled up like this. She looked at the serious blue Li in front of her. After a pause, she lowered her voice and said, "are you doing this to everyone? If you lie with your eyes open, then you can't help but make up your own words, and then others have to believe it? "
Lan Li gently pursed the corners of his mouth, slightly chin head, "so, do you believe it?" This admitted Rooney's "accusation.".
Lu Ni was a little surprised, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Lan Li in disbelief. But when she thought about it carefully, she found that she could not refute it at all: Lan Li had the ability to make others believe. It seemed that he said that the sun was square, and there was no sense of absurd disobedience. On the contrary, it would make people think deeply.
But... Isn't that good?
"God With an exaggerated expression, Rooney lowered her voice and said softly, "does anyone know you've been cheating for a living? I can't believe it. " Having said that, Rooney's whole cheek was blooming like a fresh rose, and the joy of her eyes and mouth was rippling. "Oh God, I think from today on, I have to keep a little distance from you. I don't want to get involved in any trouble."
With that, Luna frowned, slightly wrinkled her nose, made a grimace, shook her head, and cast a look of disgust at Lan Li.
The aroma of coffee is dense between the two people, and the Milky light is flowing slowly in the air. You can feel the warm and ambiguous breath fermenting between the lips.
The corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly and said in a deep voice, "this lady, I'm afraid it's too late to think about avoiding trouble now."
The husky and low voice sounded like a cello melody, rippling in her ears. Then, Rooney noticed that Langley's warm eyes slowly fell on her body, hot and gentle. Suddenly, her cheeks were slightly hot, and her fingers began to curl inside.
The melody in the coffee house was murmuring, and the sound of heart beating came from my ear: poop, poop.
