After the release of "Mystery Skin", Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson followed the Weinstein brothers in a PR campaign. //《》//(No/pop-up advertisement/advertising full text txt download) These two combinations of Eleven Studio, one is honest and honest, the other has sharp words, but they have made a lot of names in social situations.

In fact, although the Weinstein brothers said that they took Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson to various social occasions, of course they could not transfer their real connections to two people. This is the capital of two people's achievements. , Of course, the network does not mean that the transfer can be transferred. The connections that can be transferred are either too deep and unshakable, or they are fragile as pieces of paper. The former Weinstein brothers are naturally impossible to give to Teddy Bell, and the latter is not needed by Eleven Studios. Therefore, the real connections still have to rely on Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson to break in by themselves.

Therefore, the public relations activities of "Mysterious Skin" were mainly carried out by the Weinstein brothers, and Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson were the first to enter such public relations activities, and did their best to pave the way for Eleven Studios in this circle. people in. This is a very hard process, at least, without the help of David Greenblatt, relying on Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson, two teenagers in their early twenties, to make a name in this circle In the first place, it is not an easy task.

The only good thing is that Eleven Studio has Evan Bell. His works so far have accumulated enough reputation that people will not turn a blind eye to Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson. As for the future, we need to rely on the two of them to move forward slowly, step by step.

It has been a week since the release of "Mysterious Skin". Although it is only limited to 200 theaters, and more often relies on small previews to deal with various associations, it is enough for film critics. Film reviews came out quickly.

According to The New York Times, "The film exudes a charming temperament, which makes people fascinated. Evan mixes all the taboo elements together, but it is not too cliché, nor too rigid, nor too didactic. It is just a growth My story, there is your story, there is my story, in silence, my heart hurts so much that I can't help myself."

"Hollywood Reporter" has a different view, "prostitution, male prostitute, AIDS, homosexuality...Evan is pushing the limits of all of us, and I hope God doesn't see this terrible work. .www../《》/ 《》Advertising full text txt download”

Because of the sensitive subject matter involved in "Mysterious Skin", it has triggered protests from many religious groups, and the core of the story is pedophilia, which also makes the film a target of public criticism. Countless groups have come forward to criticize the movie one after another. The most important thing is that the role of baseball coach in the movie is not ugly, and it is even a rather charming character. Evan Bell did not demonize the whole process. It is only presented with a psychedelic lens. Religious teams all believe that Evan Bell is an encouragement to countless child molesters, which may lead to an increase in child molestation cases in American society and cause greater harm to children. .

In fact, not only these religious teams, but "Mysterious Skin" was banned from being released in Australia. No matter how hard the Weinstein brothers tried, they were not able to convince them. Because the Australian side believes that this film may be used by pedophiles for masturbation or to induce children to have sexual fantasies.

This has also become the biggest controversy after the release of "Mysterious Skin". The film is not only banned in Australia, but also in most Asian countries. At present, only Japan has decided to postpone the release, and the specific time needs to be further discussed. This is where the contradictions that the film creates.

However, not everyone is so sensitive.

The "Los Angeles Times" stated that, at first, it does not mean that what the movie is made of will lead to any social phenomenon. Even if there is no "mysterious skin", the phenomenon of molestation itself exists, and it will not be because of a movie. It leads to the seriousness or alleviation of this phenomenon. Moreover, there are countless movies larger than "Mysterious Skin". Are there still a few banned movies in history? Therefore, this movie is nothing at all, and there is no need to put it on the line. ; Second, the focus of Evan Bell's filming of "Mysterious Skin" has never been prostitution or homosexuality, but growth. Evan Bell hopes to show the pain in our growth process through the story of two children, Everyone has to go through this process. Therefore, those religious groups simply misplaced the point, and they shouted randomly without understanding the movie.

The Boston Globe also agreed, "Imagine what a horrible work it would be to combine elements of prostitution, homosexuality, AIDS, violence, etc. in one movie, but Evan But with his unique third-party perspective, he tells us a fresh, natural, but heart-wrenching story. The beauty of the blue light renders this story beautifully."

In fact, this point of view is not new. As early as the Venice Film Festival, its official magazine mentioned, "To tell a story of such a socially disadvantaged and marginalized group, any director will inevitably suffer two Dirty words, some terrifying shapes and vulgar actions, and even naked pictures are used to create topics in order to try to conform to the stereotypes in people's minds. Then, in the face of such a comrade, molester, child, When it comes to the issues of single parent, poverty, disease, and violence, there is no anger, no blame, no contempt, no prying eyes. The camera lens of the movie is like a third perspective on the clouds, clearly watching the pain and struggle of this period of growth. , to understand, tolerate and comfort without any color and critical angle, but it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

The fact is that such a sensitive subject, handled by Evan Bell, is no longer sharp and not as scary as described by the religious team, but with a unique fragrance, tells a different story.

Although there are protests from the religious team, which makes the controversy on "Mysterious Skin" infinitely amplified, the praises placed on this work cannot be ignored.

"Times" said, "Evan used his lens to quietly tell the pain of you and me growing up. Whether it touched your heart or not, only I know."

On top of the "characters", the comments on this film also hold an attitude of appreciation, "This is a story about growing up, and it is so beautiful that it makes people stupefied."

"Rolling Stone" magazine believes that "under the ordinary lens, the desolate scenery, the worn-out clothing, and the scars all over it cannot hide the youth hidden in the story. It is a rare work that moves people's hearts and makes people reflect."

The release of "Mysterious Skin", in the eyes of the mainstream media in the United States, is controversial, because the sensitive subject will inevitably provoke countless criticisms, but the quality of the work is very real. I used to think that "Mysterious Skin" won an award at the Venice Film Festival as an unpopular and a dark horse, but now it seems that the film does have the qualifications to be admired, and the Silver Lion Award seems logical.

This is the second work directed by Evan Bell. It has such skill, and some media can't wait to call Evan Bell a "director genius", and even think that Evan Bell is likely to become a director during the awards season. A dark horse, doing some miracles again.

Since December has opened the curtain, in fact, the awards season has entered the prelude. From the analysis of the current mainstream media, Evan Bell's three works, "The Notebook", "Crash" and "Mysterious Skin", although none of them have absolute strength, they all have the potential to become the dark horses of the awards season, especially Egypt It is indeed surprising that the first and second works directed by Wen Bell have successfully entered the awards season.

The media generally believe that "The Notebook" is expected to be shortlisted in screenplay, photography, music and other awards, and there is hope in terms of male and female protagonists. Whether it is Ryan Gosling or Rachel McAdams, they have indeed created a classic role.

The dark horse quality of "Crash" is less, because the media view that this work is a movie between the classic and the mediocre, which is quite specious. During the release period, the polarized performance of the film critics and audiences also proved this point. People who like it, like it very much; but there are definitely not a few people who are not interested in it at all. If it can really become a "dark horse", it will win major awards, such as best picture, director, script, and best supporting actor in terms of actors. There is also hope But Matt Dillon And Evan Bell, should only one person be reported to ensure the concentration of votes; or both should be reported and the method of casting a full net is a question worthy of study.

The last "mysterious skin" is considered to be the most qualified work to be a dark horse in the awards season, because it has enough strength, enough burst points, and its quality has been generally recognized. This work is somewhat similar to "Crash". The best film, director, script, music, etc. are all eligible for impact. As for the actors, it seems that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's best actor is still the best actor. You can try it out.

After the release of "Mysterious Skin", on the one hand, it caused a heated debate in word of mouth, and at the same time, it successfully entered the attention of the judges during the awards season; on the other hand, the Weinstein brothers are also actively carrying out public relations work. The work can continue the excellent performance at the Venice Film Festival.

Of course, the dark horses of "The Notebook of Love" and "Crash" also made everyone pay attention to Evan Bell again. This young man must not be underestimated.

At the same time, no one seems to pay attention to the box office trend of "Mysterious Skin", which was released in 200 theaters.
