Today's eighth update, please recommend, please subscribe!

After the premiere of "Juno" at the Venice Film Festival, 23 film reviews appeared within the next 12 hours, setting a new high for the 65th Venice Film Festival, with as many as full-point reviews. Eighteen articles, so strong, is indeed something that no one could have expected.

Among the professional reviews, the comment that "Juno, is 2008's 'Little Miss Sunshine'" occupies the mainstream, while film critics generally believe that "Juno" has surpassed "Little Miss Sunshine", among which the Venice Film The official magazine of the festival said, "Ju Nuo, with the choice of growth and social precipitation as the core, has always maintained a hidden and understated interpretation method, which is conveyed to the bottom of people's hearts quietly, causing stormy waves. The repercussions made the audience reflect on the story for a long time while being moved by the story. Compared with the "Little Sunshine Beauty" who is small and light, it is obviously much more magical. "

However, compared to "Little Sunshine Beauty", the Italian media prefers to juxtapose "Juno" and "Mysterious Skin". No one will forget that "Mysterious Skin" is famous in Venice, which has also become an Egyptian During Wen Bell's directorial career, Italian media generally believe that "Juno" is better than "Mysterious Skin" in terms of shooting techniques, narrative methods, character sculpture, and ideological mining, and even better than "Mysterious Skin" at the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year. "Blood Will Come", which has achieved good results with Oscar, is easier to move people's hearts.

The phrase "lifting weights with ease" pushed Evan Bell's directing skills to a new height.

Although it is said that this is only the comments of a small number of media participating in the Venice Film Festival, this time only eight American media will come to Venice. What kind of comments will "Juno" receive after it is released in North America, it is not yet known. ; But the three world-renowned magazines "Sight and Sound", "Film Review" and "Cinema Manual" all gave full marks to Evan Bell's debut after winning the director's grand slam. -Bell's admiration.

In fact, after Evan Bell won the director's grand slam, this seemingly infinite glory has become a huge shackle, making people focus all eyes on Evan Bell. Not to mention directors such as Steven Spielberg and Steve Soderberg who have been seeking breakthroughs for many years after winning the Oscar, just look at Martin Scorsese, who fulfilled his long-cherished wish last year. Martin Scorsese did not stop filming after the excellent director of the Golden Man. The "Shutter Island" he collaborated with Leonardo DiCaprio is in post-production, but it is undeniable that Martin Scorsese Sith's work after the Oscar-winning "The Departed" has lost some of its aura, especially the poetry and depth of classics like "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," and "Goodfellas." This is a natural phenomenon.

The same is true for directors and athletes. There are career peaks and low ebbs. It's as if athletes lack the motivation to develop themselves after winning the Grand Slam, because after the whole world has won it, it is difficult to generate self-promotion motivation. The reason why men's tennis in today's world is wonderful lies in Roger Federer and Laura. Phil Nadal's confrontation, not Roger Federer's dominance.

Evan Bell won the director's grand slam for the first time in the history of the world. First, people are worried that Evan Bell lacks the motivation to continue; second, they are worried that Evan Bell is only 20 years old. To create such a great achievement at the age of five, no matter whether the sky is jealous of talents or hurts Zhong Yong, the depletion of inspiration is bound to be a situation that everyone is worried about; behind the great honor of the past three years, Evan Bell's future works are bound to be high standards. It also makes "Evan Bell Produced" must suffer more and more critical eyes.

Recall that when Evan Bell decided to shoot "Juno", the media was not optimistic about the subject, mainly because there were too many stories of teenage pregnancy, even the youth campus comedy. It is definitely not an easy task to dig out more things on such a theme.

Now, "Juno" has come out. Although it only meets the audience in Venice for the time being, professional film critics have given their own answers: Evan Bell not only did not stand still, but also continued to move forward, creating a new An amazing miracle, the completion of the work "Juno" is not only as good as any of Evan Bell's previous works, but even has a breakthrough meaning of returning to the basics.

Even with the same theme, different directors can show different perspectives, different styles and different depths, which is the charm of movies. And Evan Bell is precisely such a talented director. He shoots his own style on topics that seem to be either vulgar or heavy, such as teenage pregnancy.

People can't help but sigh, where is the limit of Evan Bell's talent?

But then again, judging from the theme of a sketch like "Juno", Evan Bell still has no plans to hit the awards season. No matter how you look at a story like "Underage Teenage Pregnancy", there is no winner of the best picture. Because it is too niche, even more niche than the theme of "Little Sunshine Beauty" reflecting the situation of middle-class families. So, even with Juno's bad reputation, there are concerns about its prospects for awards season.

Following the end of the release of "Juno", the 65th Venice Film Festival was officially announced, and the rest was the selection of awards and the closing ceremony. Judging from the current situation, Anne Hathaway of "Rachel's Wedding", Charlize Theron of "Burning Plains" and Ellen Page of "Juno" have become the strongest actresses Contender; in the selection of the best actor, Mickey Locke of "The Wrestler" is the best.

And in the supreme best film honor in the Venice Film Festival, that is, the competition for the Golden Lion Award, Kitano Takeshi's "Achilles and the Turtle", Miyazaki's "Ponyo on the Cliff", little Alex - Gilman's "Paper Warriors" and Evan Bell's "Juno" form the first camp.

However, at the film festival, the media's comments are never the most valuable, and I don't want to follow the preferences of the Golden Globe or Oscar judges. This is also the root cause of the unpopularity at the film festival. It mainly reflects Each film festival has a unique positioning for art.

Starting at 9:00 am on September 6th, and ending at 4:00 pm, the judges of this film festival gathered together for seven hours to argue endlessly. Obviously, they had great differences on the division of each award. . This is also a rare scene. You must know that there are only ten awards in the main unit of the Venice Film Festival, and the judges have spent seven hours without being able to come to a conclusion, which is really rare.

It wasn't until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that the red carpet was about to kick off. The judges realized that if they didn't discuss a result, the awards click and the closing ceremony would not be possible, so they made the final decision. When the judges walked out of the conference room, the reporters described them as "unhappy". Obviously, the final result did not satisfy everyone.

Evan Bell doesn't have many ideas about the attribution of awards. He will choose a sketch like "Juno", and he has no intention of attacking the awards in the awards season, so he walked onto the red carpet calmly and easily. Once again set off the climax of the audience.

After entering the movie palace, Evan Bell walked up to the slightly restrained Jennifer Lawrence and greeted him with a smile, which made the little girl suddenly show a happy expression. Although Jennifer Lawrence has always known what she is after, she is only an 18-year-old girl standing in a place full of Italian like Venice. As a newcomer, not many people want to pay attention. "Burning Plains" wasn't the most talked about work either, so she was inevitably left out and didn't know how to deal with others. Therefore, Jennifer Lawrence also seemed a little cramped, and she couldn't be happier to get help from Evan Bell.

"How is it, how does it feel to be in Venice this time?" Evan Bell asked with a smile.

It has been 18 months since Jennifer Lawrence entered Studio Eleven This is the happiest period of time since she entered the entertainment industry, because she enjoys absolute freedom and can choose the works she likes to appear in, If you need help, the agent will also give advice to help her make a decision, surrounded by actors with strong personalities and excellent acting skills such as Ryan Gosling and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jennifer Lawrence is very concerned about the actors she chooses The road is more steadfast.

Appearing on an international stage like Venice was something that Jennifer Lawrence could not have imagined a year ago, but now it's so easy to see, "It's like a dream, it's wonderful."

Looking at Jennifer Lawrence's white vigor, Evan Bell's mood couldn't help but light up, "Do you have any plans for the next work?"

"Let's take a break for a while, after all, I'm a newcomer, and the frequency of scripts coming to the door is definitely not that fast." Jennifer Lawrence said seriously, "And I just worked with two excellent actresses, and I also need a little time. Dig it well. So, there is no need to rush the next script.”

Evan Bell knew that Jennifer Lawrence had always been an opinionated person, and nodded, "Nice idea." Just as Egabell was about to continue to say something, Mark Muller walked over with a smile on his face, "Hey, Evan, finally seeing you, it's not easy!"
