Superstar

Sitting in the cinema again watching "Death Row", Hugo has more feelings. Why does this movie get so much praise, but there is always some gap between the classics?

There are two reasons. One is that the layout is too small, with Tim’s slightly delicate and procrastinating rhythm, which makes the whole movie a little dull; the other is that Tim’s handling of the details of the movie has not reached the status of a master. Many film masters will To give a movie some small details-even the parts that the audience can't see and don't pay special attention to. This is precisely the key to giving a movie more connotation and more artistry.

Sure enough, the work of the director is not so simple. Although Hugo can tell the reason, he could not find a solution if he really let him roll up his sleeves. He can be sure that the "Death Row" directed by him is estimated to be a problem. The chaos is far inferior to Tim's work.

Although there has never been a lack of genius in this world, there are many who are also directors, screenwriters, and actors. But on the whole, there are still too few geniuses, and there are specialties in the art industry. From Hugo’s point of view, the work of actors and singers now consumes almost all of his energy. Even the work of screenwriters hasn’t thought about it for a long time. After "before sunrise", he didn’t even pick up the pen to write the script again. idea.

Therefore, although the "Death Row" still has some shortcomings, it does not affect Hugo's admiration for Tim.

When the movie ended, there was a dead silence in the whole theater, and no one spoke, which made Tim a little uneasy. The recognition of "Death Row" in the United States is one thing, but this is Berlin—the solemn and severe Berlin, and Tim is still uneasy in his heart.

Hugo is very calm, not because he is confident, but because he knows how turbulent the ending of the "Death Row" story will have on every audience, even if it is himself, he sees this ending again, and his heart The tumbling is still difficult to calm down. Not to mention the Germans?

As the young man at the gate said before entering, Germany is opposed to the death penalty.

In Germany, West Germany started to promote the abolition of the death penalty as early as 1949. At that time, it was still in the recovery period of World War II. There were still many spies left in East Germany and West Germany, and spies were executed every year, but even so, West Germany Still began to promote the abolition of the death penalty, which was formally abolished in 1952 after repeated periods. However, after that, many spies were still under the death penalty in secret, whether in East or West Germany, and most of the death certificates were heart failure. In fact, by 1987, both East and West Germany officially abolished the death penalty.

Therefore, witnessing the last scene of "Death Convict Walking" and seeing Matthew being executed with his own eyes has a tremendous impact on every audience. The wave is even far greater than that of the United States, not just with his own eyes. Witnessing the disappearance of a life has a violent impact on the audience's outlook on life and values. It is difficult for German audiences to immediately accept such images from psychological and physical aspects.

Sure enough, after the silence lasted for about thirty seconds, someone finally couldn't help it. The voice started to yell, but the other party was yelling in German, and Hugo couldn’t understand it. He turned to look at Tim. Mu said with a look of embarrassment, "Foul language." This...

Because he didn’t understand, Hugo didn’t know if the other party was cursing the movie for being too bad or what was going on, but it was the first time for Hugo to listen to the audience cursing foul language in a movie theater. He did not expect this at all. situation. However, things began to gradually lose control. More and more people stood up, pointed at the big screen and yelled. Although they were all standing in place and not prone to violence, the surging voices and harsh words still made the scene. It looks chaotic.

Hugo, Tim and others were a bit at a loss. Although they were waiting for the audience's response, they didn't expect that this would be what they were waiting for.

Hugo turned his head and looked at the excited audience, strongly doubting if they would pounce on him at any time, and then tear himself to pieces—or Tim.

Hugo has also been in the entertainment circle for several springs and autumns, but he has never faced such a scene. He has heard of some audiences leaving the scene in anger while watching the movie, and he has also heard that the audience is in The movie theater screamed and vented the dissatisfaction, but he had not really experienced it. At this moment, looking at the agitated faces in front of me, it is like half of the fierce and evil masks in hell, roaring ferociously in the slowly lit up theater, the light above my head is shining brightly, but the deep darkness is not there. Dissipated, but was ignited like a flame, turning the whole scene into purgatory - everyone here has become struggling.

This was really eye-opening for Hugo, but at the same time he didn't know how to deal with it-most importantly, he couldn't hear the audience at all.

At this moment, a voice in the corner shouted in English, "Against the death penalty!" Then a group of people around him raised their right hands and shouted in unison, "Against the death penalty!" A strand of rope, along with the powerful extension of the right hand, vibrated with grandeur.

This small group of people was quite powerful, and Hugo couldn't help but cast his sights. In the dim light, they saw similar and familiar faces. They seemed to be the group of young people who met at the door just before entering the venue. People-Hugo with facial blindness can't be 100% sure.

However, what is certain is that they unswervingly shouted "Against the death penalty", and the clear voice gradually attracted everyone's attention. Their shouts became louder and louder, and then other audiences also cast their sights and joined the shouts, "Oppose the death penalty! Oppose the death penalty!"

In a blink of an eye, more than one-third of the audience held their right hands high and shouted loudly in English in unison. The momentum gradually calmed the chaos on the scene, and the fierce and vicious scene just now finally got under control. But now we have to face another problem: this uniform cry is not like solidarity, but like criticism. Are they condemning the United States for not completely abolishing the death penalty so far?

This scene is going to be dangerous again.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining two-thirds of the audience also stood up one after another, and then vigorously clapped their hands. The loud applause surging up in an instant, like a surging sea of ​​clouds, leaping in their sights. Gradually covering the entire projection hall, the expressions on the audience’s faces were not clearly visible, but the enthusiastic applause clearly expressed their inner positive energy, which made Hugo and Tim a little relieved, and the two exchanged Got a sight.

Hugo knows, at least this shows that most audiences still like the work "Death Row", and Tim's unbiased and neutral perspective has also been recognized by German audiences. This is good news for them.

The hot applause at the scene gradually reached a peak, which made other audience members who were chanting slogans successively put down their right hands, stopped shouting, and applauded together.

The applause of the mountain whistling tsunami swept like a tsunami like this.

It turns out that the audience’s excitement is not because the movie is too bad, but because they are too sensitive to the final scenes. Tim truly presents the execution process, which is too cruel, even with the brutal murder of Matthew and his companions. The true picture of the process still cannot shake the determination of the hearts of the German audience.

The same scene awakens people's deep thinking in the United States, but awakens people's protest in Germany. This is not only the charm of movies, but also cultural differences.

This is also one of the charms of the film festival, which makes people feel the exchange of cultures from all over the world. Leaving aside other things, from this point alone, Hugo feels that the Berlin Film Festival is a more interesting choice than the Golden Globes. This is also a new experience in Hugo's career as an actor: it turns out that Berlin audiences enjoy movies in this way.

Amidst the applause, Werner reappeared and invited the crew of "Death Row" to step forward, not only to accept the praise of the audience, but also to accept questions about the film from the scene.

Unexpectedly and logically, it was Tim who got the most questions. Relatively speaking, the two actors, Hugo and Susan, were a lot easier. The audience was very interested in Tim's creative thoughts, and especially put forward many views on the current attitude of the United States on the death penalty. In fact, this is also Tim's original intention of filming "Death Row", which makes him talk free and enjoyable.

Of course, as the most shining star of the Berlin Film Festival this year, there are still many questions for Hugo, especially Hugo's decision to come to Berlin to participate in the promotion at the last moment, which made many German audiences very satisfied. This also made the whole interview process very lively.

After the premiere, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ watched the audience and the media leave one after another, Tim had time to talk to Hugo at this time, "You and Ilia... were you okay just now?" Tim was still a little worried. , The Hugo he was familiar with was not what he was just now. Obviously, Hugo and Ilya did not get along very well.

"It's okay, what's the matter?" Hugo didn't think much about it. He didn't have any personal grievances with Ilya. It was just his simple personal preference. In the future, he and Ilya won't have anything to do with each other, so he doesn't think much at all. do not worry.

Tim looked at Hugo seriously and noticed the sincerity in Hugo’s eyes. He was relieved, "Actually, I was a little surprised when Ilya offered to meet you, but I wanted to introduce you to you. It's good for a moment. Ilya probably saw Brando's feeling in you when he was young."

Hugo didn’t know that there was such a reason behind it, but it was as if Hugo had become friends with Paul Newman and Gregory Parker. Ilya didn’t seem to be such a distant figure anymore. He slightly clicked. Chin, he said solemnly, "I always thought I was more like Paul."

Unlike when I faced Ilya just now, Hugo's words seemed a lot easier at this time, and Tim laughed when he heard it, "I think Paul will like your words very much."
