Chapter 457 The silence is deafening! The movie that caused a stir in Cannes! !
Especially when a young man breaks down and kills his mother, the entire Cannes screening is completely silent!
There are many scenes of killing mothers in domestic and foreign movies. This kind of movie that loses the bottom line of human ethics is a bottom line standard for artistic evaluation.
In "Confession", the sudden killing of his mother by boy B made countless people at the scene gasp in an instant.
Fan Bingbing felt her heart skip a beat, although she felt a little relieved. After all, it was the murderer who killed her mother.
But during the cleaning, she felt terrible.
Did Boy B’s mother do something wrong?
She didn't know the truth and didn't know what was going on. When she found out that her son was a murderer, she took the initiative to kill the child and then committed suicide, so as to eliminate her own sin.
Although a little irrational, this is already a mother with very upright views.
And she was killed with random knives by the flesh that fell from her ten-month pregnancy.
The silence was deafening.
Robert De Niro, chairman of the main competition jury, couldn't help but stand up. He touched his palms with both hands but did not take the picture.
This movie gave him a great spiritual shock.
The whole movie is full of stream of consciousness, and both the color tone and the emotional tone are full of absolute haze, depression, and emotion. Even the center of the picture has an absolutely emphatic charm. It is extremely provocative and cold, thus embodying a kind of dark brutality.
But apart from these, there is also a superficial sense of pleasure in people's hearts!
There is no redundant and cumbersome rendering. The straightforward picture unfolds slowly, just like a documentary, it calmly tells what was done, when it was done, and what was on its mind at the time. It is as simple as taking something out of your pocket. It was usually easy, until HIV blood was added to the milk...
The whole movie suddenly rose from the previous dullness!
It makes people feel emotional and obsessed with it!
Then, Young B’s evil deeds gradually deepened and he killed his mother, completely subduing the entire scene.
He is broken, trapped, timid, but vicious.
The middle and long shots intersect to create a sense of gap, and the background music is a slow-paced song, just like the MV of a song.
The scattered blood drops and muddy water are smashed,
It is painstakingly shown in close-ups,
The long atmosphere that seems to be able to strangle the neck is gently lifted , diffused from the screen, shrouding a unique aura.
In the mother-killing incident, the shot of killing the mother with a knife is beautiful, and the slow-motion close-up depicts the trajectory of the blood.
People can't help but marvel at it!
But this is not the end, the movie continues to play.
The fragment of young man A also unfolds his picture scroll at this moment.
Unlike Boy B, Boy A has a stronger psychological quality. Teacher Wang’s behavior did not affect his mental activities at all. He had excellent grades and stayed in the class. It seemed that nothing had changed.
But his classmates began to exclude him.
The words "murderer" were written on the book, densely packed and overwhelming.
Even in the children’s QQ group, they are proud to bully this murderer. If the bullying is severe, everyone will be rewarded with points. The top three with the highest points can use their class fees to pay themselves Give out prizes.
The new teacher discovered this phenomenon, and people speculated that someone had reported it to the teacher.
So Xu Meiyue, the only female classmate in the class who had never bullied Boy A, was quickly voted out by her classmates and was elected with a high vote!
Everyone thought it was Xu Meiyue who did it, so a large group of students gathered around them to bully them on campus. They made the boy A and Xu Meiyue kneel together, pressed them down and worshiped each other, and then kissed each other cheek to cheek. kiss.
Such a scene
made Fan Bingbing completely lost. She felt that she could no longer tell whether these children were good or evil.
At least for this case, Xu Meiyue is just a passerby.
And now, she is also being bullied.
In the name of justice.
How sad and deplorable?
Later, boy a took out the test sheet and told Xu Meiyue that he was not infected with AIDS.
Xu Meiyue was not surprised. From the beginning, she did not believe what Teacher Wang Sen said, because those who really wanted revenge would not reveal all their plans so easily.
She thinks the teacher just wants them to think about life.
Then, photos of boys and girls kissing went viral in school. Faced with this bullying involving outsiders,
The unresponsive young boy A exploded. He cut his finger with a sharp knife and critically hit one of the leaders, causing him to kneel on the ground. Then the blood spread evenly on his face.
Then he randomly selected a male classmate who was more frequent.
It was a kiss directly.
He threatened everyone that if the bullying continued, he would find someone to kiss.
As soon as this statement came out, the class was quiet.
Everyone was worried that they might also be infected with AIDS, and the bullying that had been so vigorous before disappeared in an instant.
The boy and girl also became lovers as they wished.
When the picture showed that the girl was also a believer of the girl who poisoned her parents, Fan Bingbing couldn't hold back at all.
"Shall I go?"
Before, Fan Bingbing couldn't bear it because the girl was bullied, but at this moment, Fan Bingbing just wanted to scold her.
The two became lovers, and Xu Meiyue actually admired the execution props made by the boy. In essence, the two of them were the same kind of people.
It turns out that Xu Meiyue also wants to kill someone.
Under her beautiful appearance, there is also a murderous heart hidden.
He is their new teacher. For the sake of intimacy, he gave Xu Meiyue a nickname, Meidai.
It made her feel sick.
Her code of conduct has its own logic. She sympathizes with Boy A, becomes a couple, and believes that everything that happened to Boy B to kill his mother is the fault of the new teacher, because he often visits home and pursues her.
Then she saw the new teacher and Teacher Wang Sen having dinner together, and then she learned that the new teacher’s weekly home visit was originally taught by Teacher Wang.
No one complained about the bullying of boy A, it was just the new teacher who assumed it.
Teacher Wang said that she knew very well that this was useless and would encourage bullying, but she just wanted to do it.
When she said this, she smiled calmly.
"I'm just going to drive the two of them crazy."
"But boy A just wants his mother to see more of him because he is too lonely." Xu Meiyue said.
Teacher Wang sneered.
Give her a cold look.
The story of boy A begins to branch out into a branch line, his family line. He is accustomed to scientific research and innovation. He won a national award, but before he could attract his mother's attention, he was taken away by a girl's poisoning case. limelight.
So he knew one thing.
Kill people to gain attention.
At this moment, the entire logical motivation finally formed a closed loop.
"Just to attract attention." Xing Na was speechless.
“Actually, most things in this world are designed to attract attention.” Ning Hao was in a complicated mood at the moment. Although he had read the script, the content of the script and the clips shown in the film and television gave People's sense of impact is completely different.
While reading the script, he kept laughing, because apart from the horror, the only thing left was the shock brought by the straightforward narrative in the text, which the brain can digest. But seeing the faces in the movie, Ning Hao's senses were even more shocked than before!
Especially behind those sins is the smiling face of a young man looking forward to his mother's attention.
This kind of tremor brought to people's soul made Ning Hao speechless.
Then, all the previous murder scenes flashed like a montage,
He needed a fool, so Teenager B showed up.
But it is a pity that the police only classified this incident as an accident.
When boy b went crazy because he was worried about getting AIDS.
But boy a was laughing. Because he was sick, he might be able to get a visit from his mother.
These two contrasts appeared in front of everyone. Many people at the scene just started to swallow their saliva and made no other movements.
The entire theater could hear a pin drop.
The so-called Xu Meiyue has become a tool for him to spend time at will.
At this moment, the case of boy b killing his mother has become a sensation on the Internet. Boy a said that he did not understand why boy b would do such a thing. When he chatted before, he always talked about his mother.
Xu Meiyue said, "Isn't it the same for you?"
Then boy A went crazy, and he didn't allow anyone to talk about his mother.
Same goes for couples.
So he picked up the trophy for excellence in scientific research, and smashed it hard on the head of the girl who had been intertwined with her five minutes ago in the movie.
Then he was like tearing apart the toy he was doing scientific research on.
Tear her apart.
This explosive plot made many people hold their heads.
Shi Nansheng turned to look at Johnnie To, "This movie is really cruel. It has a bit of Japanese and Korean movies. Even Hong Kong movies have never been so explosive."
"No wonder Director Hou was asked to film it in Taiwan. , this drama can not be banned, I am afraid this drama will have to be well-mediated.”
To Qi Feng is also a little embarrassed.
“It’s just that for this movie, it’s a bit difficult to win any mainstream awards at Cannes.”
“Let’s see if we can win a screenwriting award. It’s shocking. , but some judges may not like this drama very much," Shi Nansheng also sighed.
"But it cannot be denied that this kind of film that focuses on certain social issues is itself a Cannes selection standard." Johnnie To said, "Although the film is a bit crazy, there seem to be very few such films about revenge for teenagers in the world."
< br>The movie is still going on, but everyone has different emotions.
The movie is not over yet,
In the end, the boy A used a bomb to drag everyone in the auditorium to be buried together, which made many viewers feel nervous.
Fortunately , the bomb did not happen.
And Teacher Wang’s phone call appeared again.
This bomb has been placed next to the mother of boy A.
Everything he wanted to do affected his mother.
Like blowing it to pieces.
What he cherishes most is that because of Teacher Wang's revenge, it has completely turned into a corpse, become the fire in the bombing, and has become the sinful thought of his life.
At the end of the film, Teacher Wang looked at the boy who was crying in front of boy A.
The eyes are indifferent.
"You can start being a human again now." She gently patted the child's face.
Then, a smile appeared on her face.
Made her look so terrifying.
"I'm just kidding."
......
At this point, the whole film is over.
But in the entire scene, there was no applause or noise, only silence.
“Wow, Hou,” it took a full two minutes before Robert came over to shake hands with Hou Hsiao-hsien. He opened his mouth and thought for a long time before sighing, “I don’t know what to say for a moment. , this is a film that left me silent after watching it.”
"I will also be silent." Jude Law also said dumbfounded: "I thought Hou you were going to bring your most classic emotional drama to Cannes, but I really didn't expect it to be such a movie."
He looks quite fierce, but I'm still a little scared when I see this kind of movie.
The blue eyes of blond Uma Thurman are also quite frightening. She had previously collaborated with Quentin Quentin in "Kill Bill". In the film, she played one of the deadliest female assassins, full of blood. , which is filled with all kinds of heinous bloody scenes, for which she also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
But this film still gave her enough impact.
Perhaps it is mainly because most of the actors are played by children.
She couldn't help but admire this kind of movie that conflicted with the senses in her consciousness.
Shortly after the premiere.
Many film critics have expressed their opinions on this film, which has high hopes in the Chinese language.
AFP was the first to publish an article, calling "Confession" a gift from Hou Hsiao-hsien and Guan Ling to young people around the world, and regretted that the film might not be screened in mainland China.
“Bloody true? Guan’s new screenwriter’s film caused all the judges of the Cannes main competition to be silent!”
In the afternoon of the same day, the show "Confessions" began to be sold out in France. Since Hou Hsiao-hsien had also accumulated some fans before, and Guan Ling had been a leader in Cannes for several years, not only the local Chinese audience, but also many French Local people came to watch the movie.
After watching the movie, everyone was silent.
“This is really a good love movie. I have rarely seen such pure, sincere, and fascinating love.”
France is also really having fun. people.
The comments posted attracted many romantic lovers.
After watching the movie, they were all numb.
“It’s a love movie, I wish you a lifetime without love.”
“I cried several times while watching the movie. No one is completely good, and no one is completely evil. Sympathy, disgust, horror and pleasure explode together in the end, and the director makes the dark and desperate plot so entertaining and beautiful that it makes people's hair stand on end."
"Boundless sadness..."
" Maybe the French Interior Minister should watch this movie. Just last year, because of the increasingly serious juvenile crime rate, he wanted to impose a curfew on minors under the age of 13 with criminal records, but gave up because of the overwhelming public opinion online. Got this idea.”
"There will only be more troubled teenagers in France than in China."
All kinds of comments came overwhelmingly.
And the popularity of this drama is still gradually expanding.
Many moviegoers are full of recognition and admiration for the overall structure reflected in the movie.
The Cannes program gave it a score of 3.1. Although it was not an absolutely high score, the title left many people speechless.
Since I know you are a villain, why do I care if you are a child?
This topic directly became the cover of many media in Cannes.
Then it spreads all over the world!
