Hollywood legendary director

""Million Dollar Baby" will be the most brilliant movie in Cannes this year."-"French Film and Television".

Early the morning after the screening, Thomas brought a stack of newspapers to Lehman's apartment.

By the way, there is a breakfast.

"Lyman."

Thomas bit the French stick and handed him the newspaper.

In other words, this year, the 57th Cannes Film Festival, has selected 18 works in the main competition.

But in terms of momentum, there are only "Fahrenheit 911" directed by American director Michael Moore, "Nobody Knows" by Japanese director Yu Hwa Ji, "Old Boy" by South Korean director Park Chan-wook, and "Old Woman Killer" by the Coen Brothers and "The Killer" screened yesterday. "Million Dollar Baby" is the hottest prize winner.

It just so happens that Lehman has been fine in these two days, and he has seen it all.

The two parts of Zhi Yuhe and Park Chan-wook also follow the narrative line.

But compared to "Million Dollar Baby", it is a little dull. However, Hirokazu Ke has always been in this tune, taking the everyday style, and it is a characteristic of the Japanese literary cafe.

To be honest, at the Cannes Film Festival nowadays, some filmmakers in Japan and South Korea are blown up, but they don’t give awards after they blow out.

Say it is conservative. People accept the works of the Asian film circle every year, and they often encourage it. Say it is open-minded, and the attitude of taking care of French and American filmmakers is very clear.

Regarding style, Cannes has lost the mentality of those gangsters.

True art is still inferior to some niche film festivals.

At least, people don't play virtual.

Then, Brother Coen.

A regular visitor at the film festival.

Palme d'Or and Best Director have both.

But this "Old Woman Killer" follows the line of black humor.

Still adapted the work, even if Tom Hanks was invited to play, it was not particularly popular.

Then there is "Fahrenheit 911". From the subject matter, it can be seen that this is a movie that is hot and political.

The producer is Lionsgate, which is also their biggest move in the first half of the year.

The film claims to expose the nastyness of the U.S.-Iraq War. It also deliberately exaggerated the intricate relationship between the Bush family and the Ben-Bangladesh-just to make it clear that the tragedy was directed and performed by the Bush family for political rights.

With such a gimmick, before the screening of "Million Dollar Baby", "Fahrenheit 911" is likely to be the most likely to win Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes.

why?

In order to reach the top of Cannes, in addition to the qualifications for the competition, the rest probably need to meet two conditions: either the subject matter is good or the national personality is.

It just so happens that "Fahrenheit 911" is still in documentary style, very realistic.

Furthermore, in the past three years, with such a big social impact and a series of political games, suddenly a movie said that it has dug inside stories, can it not explode?

Therefore, knowing that it is getting hot, Cannes must also push it.

Why not do mutually beneficial things.

Doesn't Cannes need the heat?

Of course, "Million Dollar Baby" is here, and it's a little bit more hanging.

The quality is outstanding, the director is his own family, and the producer Warner has a lot of friendship with Cannes.

Compared with "Fahrenheit 911", apart from being a gimmick, it is simply crushed.

From the director’s qualifications to the operation behind.

After the screening, the organizing committee became even more unable to sit still.

They originally arranged three screenings a day, but considering that there are so many works in line, they are already very popular.

But no matter what, the movie is awesome. On the first day, all three games were full.

The film took off too quickly, and both the media and the audience were paying close attention.

Then, it really lived up to expectations.

The next day, the venues were still full.

The scene of queuing to buy tickets is nothing unusual.

Hilary Swank was so excited, and the great sense of recognition fell down. It was really blissful.It was so popular for the first time in life.

On the contrary, Lyman was a little cold and overly.

It's not unhappy, but I don't feel like I was up and down.

Perhaps this is growth.

As for the efforts of the newspapers and media, Warner must have managed it, but it is also because Lehman’s film has really frustrated some film critics.

If you are purely inspirational, you may not need to blow in this way, or the intensity can be lower.Take money to do things.

But what is unexpected is that "Million Dollar Baby" tells a lot through this story.

It's actually not the same as "Rocky".

It is the first time that Rocky has used the counterattacking routine of the down-and-out boxer and the low-level little character.

What's so special, "Million Dollar Baby" is also a focused boxer and a small person, but the ending of "Rocky" is pretty good, but Maggie's life is completely different.

Without the second half of the movie, this movie could not beat the originator of the routine "Rocky".

But besides boxing, what else?

To borrow from some film critics, the overall tone of the film is not passionate. It teaches people to be strong in the ordinary, especially the plot after the injury, which is the sublimation of the whole film, so that everyone can see that it can be tough on everything. Attitude girl, Maggie.

Facing death calmly, this is her choice.

What she wants to hear is the cheers and applause of others, and regret and sympathy are the greatest harm to her.

This is also the most moving part of director Lehmann's character creation: "How do we face failure in life, even if it makes people desperate."

Of course, many people say that death is an escape.

But not in the film, Maggie is a strong man in conviction from beginning to end.

Frankie doesn't want to teach her to punch, she grinds it herself; she loses the first time she plays, and she trains harder and harder; to end her life in the end, that is also her attitude towards her own life.Everyone will have different choices.

Maggie chose what she wanted, this is her strong logic.

Responsible for your choice, even death.

The critics are hi.

The continued warming of the word-of-mouth of "Million Dollar Baby" is also an unstoppable thing, especially the French officials are endorsing Lehmann, hoping that he will go further.

"Cannes Premiere", "Herald", "French Report", "Los Angeles Daily" and so on.

During the film festival, the media who specializes in digging out film works have very good influence.

And without exception, they are holding "Million Dollar Baby".

Although not all the film reviews are full of color, but the attitude of recommending it is enough to show that the film has been recognized by the media.

Audience? Really.

Frozen, relying on the enthusiastic attitude, the organizers discussed adding another one.It becomes 4 games a day.

As for whose screenings have been reduced, it is not known.Lehman didn't care about this either.
