With the sun shining on the calm sea level of the water city of Venice on September 5th, the 65th edition ushered in the last day of film screenings, and today only two films will be premiered, which is also the current Venice Film Festival. Highlights: "The Wrestler" and "Juno."
Both films were world premieres. "The Wrestler" received rave reviews during its previous internal previews, and Venice Film Festival president Mark Muller exclaimed that it was one of the best works of the year and was widely regarded as the most powerful of the year's Golden Lion Awards. One of the contenders, and starring Mickey Rourke's brilliant performance is praised as the best performance of his career.
"Juno" has never been seen so far, there is no preview or internal evaluation, everything is covered with a veil, the most famous cast is Jennifer Garner, Ellen Page is the literary youth The new favorite, but strictly speaking, the cast of young actors is not absolutely attractive. But "Juno" has a trump card: Evan Bell! that's enough.
In the morning show on September 5, "Wrestler" took the lead. It's an old-fashioned story about a wrestler in decline, but director Darren Aronofsky has learned from last year's "Cherish Fountain" fiasco. This time, he has no ambition and is calm and sincere into the work. Among them, the whole film exudes a touching warmth.
The story of the movie is actually very simple. A wrestler who reached the peak of his career in the 1980s was affectionately known as Lime, but as he got older, he gradually became powerless on the field. After a fight, he suffered a heart attack, and doctors ruled he could never wrestle again. So Lime got a job selling cooked food in a small supermarket. Although he tried to accept this new profession with a happy attitude, he left his favorite arena and could never find his place again. In the end, Lim chose to return to the arena, and even if he was greeted by death, he was willing to take this place as his final destination.
It's like a soldier who exhausted the last drop of blood on the battlefield. Maybe you won't be sad for the protagonist, but you can't help but feel moved.
It can be said that Mickey Rourke plays the role of Lyme very handy, because his own life experience has formed an implicit echo with Lyme. As early as the 1980s, Mickey Rourke achieved great success, but after the failure of several works, he made a decision that surprised everyone: give up the actor career and change careers. Started as a boxer and fulfilled his childhood dream.
During his five years as a boxer, he did well, winning eight straight and only three short of the lightweight title, but withdrew due to neurological issues. He later dropped out of boxing due to severe brain damage. By then, he had had four line-up surgeries on his face, reshaping his battered nose and once handsome cheekbones, and even had his ears cut off by doctors to restore his face. And all the prize money he won in the boxing ring was consumed in cosmetic surgery and psychotherapy.
In order to make a living, Mickey Rourke returned to the film industry in 1995. For the past thirteen years, Mickey Rourke has been completely in an embarrassing situation that no one wants to use him, but he still relies on his previous connections. , starting from the supporting role of the supporting role, and supporting the road of seeing the light again from the abyss. Until he met "The Wrestler".
It is this sense of identity and experience that makes Mickey Rourke completely integrated with the character when he plays Lyme. When the film ended, Mickey Rourke won a standing ovation from the audience for the first time at this year's Venice Film Festival.
Although the plot of "The Wrestler" is very cliché and its sensational techniques are a little deliberate, but overall, this is indeed one of the most well-completed works in the current Venice Film Festival. ", "Achilles and the Turtle", "Ponyo on the Cliff" and other works supported the dilapidated 65th Venice Film Festival.
Evan Bell didn't go to the premiere to watch "The Wrestler" in person because he'd seen it in his last life, and honestly, it wasn't his dish. The overall line and routine of the film are a little mediocre. I have seen too many similar stories in the history of world cinema, and Darren Aronofsky's sensationalism is too deliberate. However, the biggest success of the movie is that it makes Mickey Rourke shine, and it also becomes a turning point in Mickey Rourke's career as an actor, and then he starred in "Iron Man 2", "Sin City 2" and "The Expendables" made a comeback on the road of tough guys.
But having said that, they are also prominent starring roles. "The Wrestler" and "Rachel's Wedding" are different. The former's completion and depth are not as good as the latter's. "Rachel's Wedding" uses plain lenses and language. The turmoil of middle-class American families is delivered in a solitary way, and the evocative part is far more profound than "The Wrestler". In addition, the reason why Mickey Rourke's performance is outstanding lies in his sense of identity with the role, in other words, his true performance; while Anne Hathaway's outstanding performance lies in breaking through, breaking through the barriers of acting, and at the same time breaking through herself limited. This is why Anne Hathaway's performance was repeatedly praised by film critics, while Mickey Rourke did not perform more prominently.
But no matter what, the release of "The Wrestler" still made Venice lively again on the morning of September 5th, and finding the taller among the short people reawakened the enthusiasm of film critics and audiences, watching Mickey Rourke The performance of throwing heads and blood on the big screen has indeed aroused people's emotions.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sunset was infinitely good, and the final highlight of this Venice Film Festival "Juno" officially debuted.
Jennifer Lawrence was the first to walk on the red carpet, the new generation of actors born in the 1990s, this time in "Burning Plains" won a lot of acclaim, even in Charlize Theron and Kim A Basinger is no less in front of the two actresses. At present, she is the most popular actor for this year's Best Newcomer Award.
Although it seems that James Lawrence's qualifications are not enough to appear on the red carpet of "Juno", she is an actor under Eleven Studios, which also makes her attendance logical.
Then Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway, three actresses with appearance, strength and popularity, came on stage, making the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival usher in the opening ceremony. Long-lost noise. The appearance of Jennifer Garner, Michael Cera and other film stars pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a new peak, because people knew that important people were about to appear.
Sure enough, Evan Bell was next, and beside him was the petite and lovely Ellen Page. In fact, in Evan Bell's films, the proportion of female characters is not too heavy, as is the case in "Mysterious Skin", "Perfume" and "The Blood Will Come", and the main perspective of "The Notebook" is also placed on the male protagonist On Noah, the core of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is the little girl Oliver. This time, "Juno" also continues the style of "Little Sunshine", and even the proportion of female protagonists has been increased. Strictly speaking, this is the first time in director Evan Bell's work that female characters are used as absolute characters. core attempt. So before the movie was released, the media dubbed Ellen Page as Evan Bell's "new darling".
But when people see Ellen Page and Evan Bell standing side by side, this so-called "new favorite" argument is self-defeating. Evan Bell is 6.2 feet (1.89 meters), but Ellen Page is only about five feet (1.55 meters), the height difference between the two is too great, and the temperament of the two people It's not that good either, unlike Evan Bell and Natalie Portman who have a natural sense of coordination when they stand together.
Today Ellen Page is wearing a black knee-length dress with her hair hanging down casually, which makes many people uncomfortable, because she is more suitable for the casual casual style of T-shirt and jeans, so she looks like a little girl Like stealing my mother's clothes. Evan Bell, who was standing next to him, wore a blue-bottomed orange plaid shirt, a pair of white cropped suit pants, and a pair of light gray lace-up sailing shoes. He was casual yet formal, and he had short and medium hair that reached his eyebrows. Casually drifting in the wind, the breath-taking charm easily swept the audience.
Listen to the screams that were completely out of control at the scene. Even the raging sea breeze could not shake the enthusiasm of the audience. The red carpet in front of the movie palace was completely like a riot scene. All the audience and reporters were suppressed for ten days. Enthusiasm was completely released in a moment, everyone seemed to fall into madness, into a state of ecstasy and shouted at Evan Bell, 'and watched crying, cursing, tearing throats The voice is so lively.
Ellen Page looked at Evan Bell, who calmly waved to the audience, and couldn't help but wonder if Lido Island would be silent in the underwater world at this moment if Lido Island was an island of sand—although she did I really want to see the bottom of the sea, but definitely not without equipment.
Evan Bell was kept on the red carpet by reporters and the audience for 50 minutes. He couldn't move at all. Every time he moved forward, the heart-piercing shouts of the audience behind him made people jump. Ellen Page had to finish the red carpet ahead of schedule, join others, and abandoned Evan Bell on the red carpet alone, because she always felt that the railings on the scene could no longer stop the enthusiasm of the audience.
Standing on the red carpet, shrouded in the spotlight, Evan Bell is the target, he is a spotlight, and it is easy to focus all eyes on him in the golden sunset. Suddenly, the sun that was gradually sinking towards the horizon was hidden behind Evan Bell, and the rays of light all over the sky and the ocean actually gave people the illusion that it all came from Evan Bell.
Everyone was so dumbfounded watching this scene.
