Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

On March 25th, the 63rd Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Sacred Citizen Auditorium in Los Angeles. The host is still the one from last year, Billy Christo

After a series of performances, the awards officially started

This year’s Oscar’s most watched are the four films, Dancing with Wolves, Silently Asking Heaven, Godfather Three, Good Guy

These four films have received numerous nominations, especially for Best Picture

Among them, the godfather three and the good guy directors are all famous, the second of the four major Hollywood directors

The director of Godfather III is Francisco Pola, and the director of Good Guy is Martin Scorsese

The movies of these two people don’t want to attract attention.

However, the big hit this year is not the work of these two directors, but the work of a new director, Kevin Costner, called Dancing with Wolves

Dancing with wolves is really awesome,

In the previous awards season, I have won the National Critics Association Award for Best Picture and Best Director, and Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay

Not to mention the many awards, the box office is still a good match, and the total investment is only 18 million US dollars, but in the end it cut more than 424 million US dollars in the box office.

Such a return ratio, there are really few videos that can do it

Crucially, this is the directorial debut of director Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner before and after the film Dancing with Wolves is all about

The screenwriter who danced with wolves wrote this script but couldn’t sell it.

But Kevin Costner saw that it’s good to dance with wolves

He not only encouraged Michael Blake to change the screenplay to be published and bought the right to edit it, but also directed and starred in La Investment himself.

And in the end, because the filming was overdue and the investment was overrun, he himself also invested $30,000, which finally finished the filming.

This is a super long movie, even in the United States, where the length of the movie itself is very long, this movie is considered long

A total of three hours, the director’s version even reached four hours

But why is it that such a long movie is still watched by so many viewers and can still get more than 400 million US dollars in the global box office

On the one hand, the audience was firmly attracted by the vast and beautiful western grassland scenery under the film lens, and on the other hand, they were deeply moved by the director’s sincere attitude and profound humanistic care infused in the film

Therefore, Kevin Costner, who became a director for the first time, succeeded. Not only did he win a lot of awards and became famous, he also made a huge return of tens of millions of dollars.

The success of dancing with wolves is probably something that Kevin Costner himself did not dare to think of.

Because before he became a director, he was only an actor, and he was not that famous actor

A person born in 55 years old was electrocuted for the first time in 82 years when he was 27 years old and starred in a movie

Then five years later, because of co-starring with Sean Connery and Robert De Niro in the crime film "The Selflessness" and playing a federal official who bans bootlegging, it began to attract people's attention.

Then three years later, he directed and starred in Dancing with Wolves, and the global box office was more than four billion.

Of course, the reason why Dancing with Wolves is the biggest hit of this year’s Oscars is not because of its high box office.

People who are familiar with Oscars know that the judges are all white old men, and their hearts are actually very resistant to those high-grossing commercial films

But Dancing with Wolves is not simply a high-grossing commercial film. It is a film that reverses the case of the Sioux Indians. In other words, it is a politically correct film.

In contrast, Silent Asking Cangtian is talking about a scholar who is engaged in biological research. He was unable to adapt to the new job. He accidentally discovered the characteristics of dementia patients. Finally, he used drugs to restore normal dementia patients such as Leonard. After decades of waking up from sleep, these dementia patients have to face the problem of finding themselves

The theme of this movie is that compared to human care and respect, the role of drugs is far from enough

As for Godfather 3, this movie was made by the director Francisco Pola because he made a high-cost movie but he suffered a blood loss. Due to economic reasons, he chose to make it.

The film was in a hurry from the beginning of the script. Francisco Pola and he hoped to finish the script in half a year, and it was released during Easter in 1991, but Paramount Pictures only gave them six weeks to complete the script, because There is a shortage of movies on holiday schedules, so this movie must be released on Christmas 1990

Moreover, Francisco Pola and the screenwriter and original author Mario gave the film the name "The Death of Michael Corleone"

Because they tend to think that this film is the end of the first and second, not the third

However, Paramount did not agree at all. Taking into account the company’s financial interests, the company naturally wanted to make the third film a blockbuster about the new generation of Godfather Vincent, and crudely named the film "The Godfather 3"

As a result, all the elements in the early script eventually missed the film, and only the scene of two men breaking into Vincent’s residence was retained.

As such, the quality of Godfather 3 has declined severely compared to the previous two. Francisco Pola’s daughter Sophia Coppola also won the Golden Raspberry Award for the worst newcomer and the worst supporting actress for her role in this movie.

And Godfather 2 has already won the best picture and best director Golden Man, so it is generally believed that although Godfather 3 has won multiple nominations, it is unlikely to win the grand prize.

Compared with the above two movies, Martin Scorsese directed and the good guy starring Robert De Niro is quite popular

Because this movie is known as the Godfather, one of the three most famous gangster movies in the US

Coincidentally, these three movies all starred Robert De Niro, of course Robert De Niro starred in The Godfather 2.

Based on real events, the good guy tells the legendary experience of the American gangster Henry Hill for more than 30 years in the arena

It shows meticulously the life of a New York Italian gangster from childhood to adulthood, vividly showing the unique life style and distinctive values ​​of the underworld figure

It’s just different from the past promotion of the American Dream. "Good Guy" looks like a gangster movie in the traditional sense, but it actually expresses a kind of "American Dream" ideal disillusionment.

And this is the reason why it is not the biggest favorite of this year’s Oscar, because politics is not so correct

Dancing with Wolves fits perfectly with Hollywood’s political correctness at this time

With the end of World War II, humanitarianism has been mentioned in a considerable position in literature and art. The reflection of history has made war theme and the history of western development become the two major themes of the film.

In the past few years, many anti-war films about the Vietnam War won Oscars because of their political correctness.

Although "Dancing with Wolves" is not anti-war, it reflects the history and thinking of this kind of western expansion, which is extremely difficult to grasp and express. It puts forward the ideal of abandoning struggle and peaceful coexistence among nations. Melody of friendship, equality and peace

So Dancing with Wolves won a total of fifteen Oscar nominations

Then, during the awards process, those who were nominated for Dance with Wolves rarely failed.

The first bunch of technical awards are all awarded except for the best art direction and the best costume design

In the next few awards, Dancing with Wolves lost all the nominated performance awards, best supporting actor and best actor, all lost

But won the most important best film, best director, best screenwriter and best editing, best photography

Judging from the loss of all performance awards, the Oscar judges recognized the theme of Dancing with Wolves more than its performance

From this we can see how important it is to be politically correct at the Oscars in Hollywood

But the flaws are not concealed, and the politically correct dance with wolves won a brilliant victory of ten out of fifteen nominations in the Oscar competition

Compared with the ecstatic dance with the wolf crew, Zhang Yimou can be much more lonely, because Judou really missed the best foreign language film award without a surprise

But this is really no way

If there is no accident, Lao Mouzi’s loneliness will come a few more times in the future
