E-Bel will continue to bring surprises in the director position in the future. /very literary/
Compared with Chris Fairbank's constant praise for Evan Bell, the French "Cinebook" still expressed surprise, "Being defeated by such excellent directors as Jin, Jia, and Aman Raba, Bell's victory seems a bit incredible. His 21-year-old age is destined to attract a lot of doubts." Evan Bell is the youngest director to win the best director since the 61st Venice Film Festival. When it is officially released, there will definitely be many people who come to pick on the thorns to watch a good show, but from the other side, this is also a way to contribute to the box office of "Mysterious Skin".
"However, although Bell's victory this time was unexpected, both the quality of the film and the audience's word of mouth are convincing. I still remember the plot of 'Mysterious Skin', which is still vivid in my mind, making people sigh. But This excavation of growing pains has made people see Bell's old-fashioned and excellent director." "Film Manual" finally sent praise, it seems that they unexpectedly returned to the result of Evan v Bell winning the award. Unexpected, but not too much objection.
The real objection is the "premiering". "Mysterious Skin" participated in the Venice Film Festival as a representative work of the United States. This is an international stage. The "premier" still did not take down the stage in an open manner. After all, the result of the dismantling was to make his country shameful, and Elliott Carter did not say anything serious. . However, for Evan Bell's award, Elliott Carter commented in a slightly sarcastic tone, "In order to show the fairness and innocence of the organizing committee, Marco Muller, who was born in Italy, gave up The 'room key', but the Silver Lion Award was awarded to Bell, who only filmed the second work, which makes people lament the 'justice, the real meaning behind it.' Mysterious skin, does it deserve such a high praise, we Just waiting for the release.”
This is obviously implying that Evan Bell bribed Marco Mueller to not only make "Mysterious Skin" the opening film, but also win a Silver Lion Award-you know how many directors are poor in their lives. Able to be recognized by the three major film festivals, Evan Bell has only attacked for the second time, and won the recognition "easy", which is naturally enviable. Elliott Carter's stinging behavior obviously has a lot of compliments, and the public screening of "Mysterious Skin" is bound to be placed under a magnifying glass, set up and roasted on fire.
Fortunately, relatively speaking, most of the media still have a friendly attitude towards the emergence of the new director Evan v Bell, which can be seen from the original "Mysterious Skin" film review. ....
Britain's "Sight and Sound" magazine said, "Bell proved to us that he has never played a role in the director's position, whether it is 'The Notebook or 'Mysterious Skin', his directing talent is amazing. "
The magazine "Empire", also from the United Kingdom, was full of praise for Evan Bell's directorial work at the beginning, and this time it applauded Evan Bell's award even more. They believed that "this is one of the reform measures of the Venice Film Festival this year. The best one", this kind of remark even compares the "Vera Drake" who won the Golden Lion Award, because they think Evan Bell's Silver Lion Award is the 61st Venice. The biggest highlight of the film festival can be seen from their admiration.
In addition, many media in Germany, France, China, and Japan have also expressed their own opinions. In general, Evan Bell's upset victory surprised many people. "Mysterious Skin" is getting more and more exciting, and they all want to see what kind of work it is, so that Evan Bell has defeated a lot of masters in his second directorial work and won the first time in his life. A Silver Lion trophy.
In the United States, magazines such as "The New York Times", "Rolling Stone", "People", and "Variety" have also published comments one after another. The Venice Film Festival is closer to European films, in addition to Chinese films—Venice has always been a blessed place for directors from both sides of the strait, but American films have not performed very well here, with an average of two works that land in Venice every year. There are only three films. This year, Evan Bell can represent the United States to win the Silver Lion Award, which is naturally very exciting.
However, here, there is a question of attribution. Is Evan Bell's Silver Lion Award an American or a British one?
Americans believe that "Mysterious Skin" was filmed in the United States, and the entire team was built in the United States, while Evan Bell was developed in the United States and should naturally belong to the United States; while the British believe that Evan Bell is a British, born and raised in London, and Eleven Studio belongs to Evan Bell, which means that the source of funding and production of "Mysterious Skin" are British, and of course they should belong to the United Kingdom.
The "mysterious skin" that the media despised at the beginning has now become the object of competition between the United Kingdom and the United States, which is also an interesting thing.

The 61st Venice Film Festival ended. The Golden Lion Award for Best Picture was won by Mike Lee's "Vera Drake". The Silver Lion Award was won by Evan Bell of "Mysterious Skin". Overnight, "Director Evan Bell" was born and became world-renowned.
If the Venice Film Festival attracts the most attention, there are two things, one is the reform of Marco Muller, and the other is the rumor that Italian films will win the Golden Lion Award - if Italian films fail to win the Golden Lion Award , Marko Mueller will be expelled.

And the result of the second thing also came out. Only "Slow Work" won the Best Newcomer Award. This year, Italy's selection of "Room Key", which became the Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film competition, missed the Golden Lion Award, which angered almost all Italians. media. However, the media in other countries are somewhat sarcastic, and everyone believes that "the Venice Film Festival has maintained their authority and has not been defeated by behind-the-scenes manipulation." If "Room Key" really wins the Golden Lion Award, it is estimated that the authority of the Venice Film Festival will be questioned by the whole world. Therefore, from another point of view, it is also the Italian media who ruined the prospect of the "room key".
However, after the 61st Venice Film Festival ended, when almost everyone saw the list of winners, their eyes stayed on the Silver Lion Award for Best Director for a long time and could not leave.
