Compared with the overwhelming acclaim of "Brokeback Mountain", the unexpected praise of "Little Sunshine" is not inferior.
"Variety" commented, "This is a family comedy that uses children to knock on the door of the audience's heart. Although there are many films of the same type, it lacks the spirituality of this film."
"Sight and Sound" believes that "a group of obscure actors, under the direction of Evan, have developed an amazing chemistry and presented a work that will amaze everyone."
"Film Review" commented on "Little Miss Sunshine" despite Chris Fairbank's temporary absence from Toronto "Ten-year-old Abigail Branslin's performance is remarkable, malleable Very strong. Evan Bell's directorial path is getting more and more solid, and 'Mysterious Skin' brings surprises again."
A one-sentence comment from the French magazine "Cinebook" stated that "the conflict in the first half and the highlights in the second half broke out, presenting us a wonderful story from the perspective of black humor. Every character has a bright spot, except for the mother Snow. It's a little bit dull."
These comments were made fresh after watching the premiere at the Toronto Film Festival for the first time. Obviously, no one could have predicted the quality of this dark horse, and there was a sound of surprise. Indeed, considering the perseverance and hardships of Michael Amter before, if he hadn't traveled to Dubai to find Evan Bell, I don't know how things would have developed. The "Little Sunshine Beauty", which came out after untold hardships, showed such high quality without the media's optimism and attention, and received unanimous praise. For Michael Amter, it was also hard work. .
The Toronto Film Festival has entered the penultimate day, and everyone has discovered the excellent work "Little Miss Sunshine", which can be regarded as another major discovery at this film festival. Pierce-Hendlin's initiative to invite "Little Sunshine" to participate in the exhibition has also been richly rewarded. Some even predicted that "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Brokeback Mountain" could win the People's Choice Awards.
Originally, "Little Sunshine Beauty" was no more exciting than "Brokeback Mountain" in terms of topic, and paid less attention to the media. At the beginning, 31 media outlets around the world commented on "Brokeback Mountain" after watching the movie in Venice and Toronto, but after the premiere of "Little Miss Sunshine", only 12 media commented, even these 12. Households unanimously expressed their praise, but the disparity in numbers is still very obvious.
However, obviously, Sean Hall fell **** Evan Bell this time, and he has no plans to die. Impatiently stood up to provoke Evan Bell, which instead pushed "Little Sunshine" to the top of the limelight. Sean Hall knows that Evan Bell is a tough opponent. He came forward in person not only could not make Evan Bell open his mouth, but he is now on the cusp of "all the attention", maybe he You will also be embarrassed. Therefore, Sean Hall still passed the means of others this time, and he did not do much, just reminding the media: after the release of "Brokeback Mountain". The silence of the media is a satire, and now "Little Sunshine" is fighting against the so-called mainstream again. It's just for the media.
This is the same as Neil D'Arcy's thoughts. In fact, most of the media have thought of this, but no one wants to lose face, so they are at peace without mentioning it. However, the media are mixed, and the gossip tabloids will not be concerned about this face. It is not the style of the paparazzi. Therefore, at the closing ceremony of the Toronto Film Festival the next day, a reporter asked Evan Bell directly, "You are extremely satirical about the mainstream aesthetics in 'Little Miss Sunshine'. For the personality and speciality of the film Are you complaining about the injustice, are you venting the oppression of Brokeback Mountain?"
These words are almost torn, and they only need to ask directly, "Evan, are you against all the mainstream media?" The surrounding reporters were stunned and their faces were burning. But because of this explosion, I didn't want to leave. The result was embarrassed in place.
If reporters really ask Evan Bell directly, is he against the mainstream media? Evan Bell may have recognized it. Anyway, he and the mainstream media have never really met each other. Even if there is a honeymoon period, as long as there is a new explosion, it is not necessary to stand on the opposite side and quarrel again. some time. But the reporter asked Evan Bell through a layer of paper like this. Instead, Evan Bell did not intend to confront him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Show your press card, please."
This sentence came out with polite language, which made the reporter stunned for a while. However, this reporter is not the rookie reporter before. He is obviously more experienced and asked, "Does it matter which media I am? Do you want to take revenge after the incident?"
"Hehe, you don't know me now." Evan Bell laughed instead, "If I want to attack, I don't have to do it behind my back at all, I just announce it on the official website of Eleven Studio. Ah. Besides, you have done something wrong, are you worried about my revenge? I just asked which reporter you are from. You know, there are many media outlets that I refuse to be interviewed, don't you know? The first day do this job?"
Evan Bell smashed his face one after another, causing the reporter in front of him to mumble, unable to say a word. Evan Bell glanced at the press card on the reporter's chest. It is one of the famous gossip tabloids in the United States.
There are six gossip tabloids in the United States that have made some famous names. Because they are all sold in supermarkets, they are also called "supermarket tabloids". The largest one is the "National Enquirer", and the other five are "Globe" and "Star". ", "Weekly World News", "The Sun", "National Monitor". The "Globe" and the famous "Global Times" have nothing to do with each other. They are completely different things. These supermarket tabloids are all in the business of creating bizarre fake news to attract attention. You can see similar things on their front page headlines. Yu "discovered bin Laden's secret diary, which recorded that bin Laden had a homosexual relationship with the French president. One night love" funny article, without any authenticity. Among them, the infamous "National Enquirer" has the highest degree of authenticity, which shows the credibility of the other five.
Evan Bell just glanced at it and knew that this was deliberately trying to find fault. He has never been afraid of you finding fault. Anyway, he is not a soft persimmon. "Your question just now, say it again, it was too noisy just now. , I didn't hear it at all."
The reporter in front of him looked at the calm smile on Evan Bell's face. Although he was a little timid, he asked again, "Are you shooting a movie like 'Little Sunshine' to mock all the mainstream media? ?"
Evan Bell couldn't help laughing even more. "Dear reporter, can you tell me what is mainstream media? Give me a definition so I can explain it to you. For example, 'Globe' is not mainstream. The media? Also, you said 'Little Miss Sunshine' was a pornographic movie, who told you that I said it was a commercial movie, can you give an example against it?" After Evan Bell finished speaking, he looked at all the scenes on the scene. The reporter, still smiling, "Also, do you like commercial movies or pornographic movies?"
After Evan Bell asked this thoughtlessly, he turned around and left. But the reporters at the scene understood what Evan Bell meant. Evan Bell was only mocking the reporter who didn't understand that "Little Sunshine Beauty" had nothing to do. The film actually just expressed a kind of resistance to mainstream values. A kind of outlook on life values, and it is wrong for journalists to narrowly define a broad definition on the contradiction between Evan Bell and the mainstream media. And Evan Bell's counterattack is to say, if reporters can say a reason for the preferences of commercial films and pornographic films, then ask Evan Bell's views on the so-called mainstream media.
It is an untenable proposition whether commercial films and pornographic films are better or worse, just as how business and art can be perfectly combined is still an issue that is still being discussed. Unless a reporter is full and has nothing to do, he will discuss this kind of thing.
Although Evan Bell did not mention it, the reporter was obviously ridiculed again. The "Brokeback Mountain" incident has not yet come to an end, and now because of the relationship with the "Globe" reporter, there is another shameless scene. Because Evan Bell did not admit to using "Little Sunshine" to retaliate for the depression caused by "Brokeback Mountain", then the last piece of fig leaf that was blocked in front of the media was torn down by the "Globe" itself. After returning, no When the media united to attack Evan Bell, there was a quarrel within the media.
The gossip tabloids headed by "Globe", "News of the World", and "National Enquirer" have been severely criticized by most media, believing that these gossip tabloids not only make reports without factual basis, but also have no professionalism in movies and news. The level is there to chase after the wind, which not only misleads the audience, but also damages the public image of the media.
This is just the beginning. The gossip tabloids naturally won't be caught off guard, and they also shout that the so-called "mainstream" media is just holding high the banner of morality, standing in the perspective of saints, and criticizing things according to their own preferences. But as everyone knows, in fact, there is no mainstream or non-mainstream in these media at all, and they are just lackeys catering to the public. The gossip tabloids are also emphasizing how the mainstream media is divided according to sales volume? Or according to Pulitzer Prize, Nobel Prize? There is no mainstream opinion in the media at all, it's just a vulgar voice.
Sean Hall originally intended to make most of the media quarrel with Evan Bell, but he did not expect that Evan Bell would make those self-proclaimed mainstream media lose face with a few words, and then stood up and pointed to the gossip tabloids. Cursing, this made Sean Hall feel so devastated, and there was no time to sow discord, just the **** storm from his peers made him exhausted.
Evan Bell, the original client, finally sat leisurely on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, which was quite a feeling of idleness.
