Chapter 1433 1433 Applause
Sitting in the cinema again watching the "Death Prisoner Walking", Hugo has more feelings. Why does this movie get so much praise but always have some gaps from the classics?
There are two reasons. One is that the pattern is too small, and Tim's slightly delicate and slow rhythm makes the whole movie look a bit dull; the other is that Tim's handling of the details of the movie has not reached the level of a master. Many movie masters will give the movie some small details that the audience cannot see and will not pay special attention to. This is the key to giving a movie more connotation and more artistic quality.
Sure enough, the director's job is not that simple. Although Hugo could say something, he could not find a solution to the fact that he really rolled up his sleeves and went to battle. He could be sure that the "Death Prison Walk" directed by him would probably be in chaos and far inferior to Tim's work.
Although there has never been a shortage of geniuses in this world, and there are many people who have multiple positions in directors, screenwriters, and actors; but overall, there are still too few geniuses and specialize in their professions. From Hugo's perspective, the work of actors and singers has consumed almost all his energy, and even the screenwriter has not thought about it for a long time. After "before sunrise", he had no idea to write a script again.
Therefore, although "Death Prisoner Walking" is still a bit insufficient, it does not affect Hugo's admiration for Tim at all.
When the movie ended, the entire screening room was silent and no one spoke, which made Tim feel a little uneasy. The recognition that "Death-infernal Walk" has gained in the United States was the same, but this is Berlin's solemn and harsh Berlin, and Tim was still uneasy in his heart.
Hugo was very calm, not because he was confident, but because he knew how turbulent the ending of the story of "Death Prisoner Walking" had to each audience. Even if he himself saw this ending again, his heart was still difficult to calm down. What's more, he was a German?
As the young man at the door said before entering the venue, Germany opposed the death penalty.
Germany began to promote the abolition of the death penalty from West Germany 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. Spies were executed every year. But even so, West Germany began to promote the abolition of the death penalty. After repeated periods, it was officially abolished in 1952. However, after that, many spies were still secretly sentenced to death, and most of the death certificates were heart failure. By 1987, East Germany and West Germany officially abolished the death penalty.
Therefore, witnessing the last scene of "Death-infernal Affairs" and watching Matthew be sentenced to death with his own eyes, this has a huge impact on every audience, and the wave is even greater than that of the United States. It is not only witnessing the disappearance of a life with his own eyes, but also a violent impact on the audience's outlook on life and values. It is difficult for German audiences to accept such a picture immediately from all aspects such as psychology and body.
Sure enough, after the silence lasted for about thirty seconds, someone finally couldn't help it, and started shouting, but the other party was shouting German, and Hugo didn't understand it, so he turned to look at Tim. Tim said with an embarrassment, "Slutty words." This...
Because he couldn't understand, Hugo didn't know whether the other party was cursing that the movie was too bad or what was going on. However, it was the first time for Hugo to listen to the audience swearing in the cinema. He didn't expect such a situation at all. However, things began to gradually lose control, and more and more people stood up and pointed at the big screen and cursed. Although they were all standing there and had no tendency to violence, the surging voice and harsh words still made the scene look chaotic.
Hugo, Tim and others were a little at a loss. Although they were waiting for the audience's reaction, they did not expect that this would be the situation.
Hugo turned his head and looked at the excited audience, keenly wondering if they would pounce on them at any time and then tear themselves to pieces or Tim.
Hugo has been rolling in the entertainment industry for several years, but he has never faced such a scene. He has heard of some viewers leaving in anger halfway through the movie, and has also heard of the audience cursing and venting dissatisfaction at the cinema, but he has never really experienced it. At this time, looking at the exciting faces in front of him, it was like half of ferocious masks in hell, roaring hideously in the slowly lit up screening hall. The light above his head was lit up, but the rich darkness did not dissipate. Instead, it was ignited like a flame, turning the entire scene into a purgatory. Everyone is struggling and tormenting here.
This really opened Hugo's eyes, but at the same time he didn't know how to deal with it. The most important thing was that he couldn't hear the audience's words at all.
At this moment, a voice in the corner shouted loudly in English, "Oppose the death penalty!" Then a group of people around him raised their right hands and shouted in unison, "Oppose the death penalty!" The originally scattered shouts gradually twisted into a rope, accompanied by the powerful stretch of the right hand, and the momentum was shaking heroically.
The voice of this small group of people was quite powerful, which made Hugo involuntarily cast his eyes over. He actually saw a similar familiar face in the hazy light. It seemed that the group of young people with facial blindness that he met at the door just now was not 100% sure.
However, what is certain is that they were unswervingly shouting "oppose the death penalty", and the clear voice gradually attracted everyone's attention. Their shouts became louder and louder, and then other audience members also cast their sights and joined in the shouts, "oppose the death penalty! Oppose the death penalty!"
In the 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 down the chaos at the scene. The vicious and imminent scene was finally under control. But now we have to face another problem: this uniform shouting does not seem to be support, but rather to criticize. Are they condemning the United States for not completely abolishing the death penalty yet?
This scene is in danger again.
Immediately afterwards, two-thirds of the audience stood up one after another, and then bulged their hands hard. The loud applause suddenly surged and rumbling in sight, gradually covering the entire screening room. The expressions on the audience's faces were not clear, but the enthusiastic applause clearly expressed the positive energy in their hearts, which made Hugo and Tim feel a little relieved, and the two exchanged a glance.
Hugo knew that at least this shows that most viewers still like the work "Death Guard Walk", and Tim's impartial 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 viewers who were shouting slogans put down their right hands one after another, stopped shouting, and clapped together.
The applause of the mountains and tsunamis swept across like a tsunami.
It turns out that this is the case. The audience's excitement is not because the movie is too bad, but because they are too sensitive to the final scene. Tim truly presents the process of execution of the death penalty. This is really too cruel. Even with the truth about the process of the cruel murder of Matthew and his companions, it still cannot shake the firmness of the German audience.
The same picture awakens people's deep thoughts in the United States, but in Germany, it awakens people's protests. This is not only the charm of the movie, but also the difference in culture.
This is also one of the charms of the film festival, which makes people feel the exchange of cultures from all over the world. Putting aside the rest, Hugo feels that the Berlin Film Festival is a more interesting choice than the Golden Globe Awards, and it is also a new experience of Hugo's acting career: it turns out that Berlin audiences enjoy the movies in this way.
Amid the applause, Warner appeared again and invited the crew of "Death-infernal Affairs" to come forward, not only accepting praise from the audience, but also receiving questions about the movie on the spot.
Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that Tim was asked the most questions. Relatively speaking, the actors Hugo and Susan were much more relaxed. The audience was very interested in Tim's creative ideas, especially in the current attitude towards the death penalty in the United States. In fact, this is also Tim's original intention for filming "Death Prisoner Walking", which made him talk freely and have a lot of fun.
Of course, as the most shining star of this year's Berlin Film Festival, there are still many questions to Hugo, especially Hugo decided to come to Berlin to participate in the promotion at the last moment, which made many German audiences very satisfied. This also made the entire interview process lively.
After the premiere, watching the audience and the media leave one after another, Tim had time to talk to Hugo, "You and Ilia... were you okay just now?" Tim was still a little worried. The Hugo he was familiar with was not the same as he was. Obviously, Hugo and Ilia were not getting along very well.
"It's okay, what's wrong?" Hugo didn't think much about it. He and Ilia had no personal grudges, but his personal simple preferences. Anyway, he and Ilia would not have any intersection in the future, so he was not worried at all.
Tim looked at Hugo seriously and noticed the sincerity in Hugo's eyes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, I was a little surprised when I offered to meet you, but it was good to introduce you to you. Ilia probably saw the feeling of Brando when she was young."
Hugo didn't know that there was such a reason behind it, but it was like Hugo, Paul Newman, and Gregory Parker had become friends. Ilia didn't seem to be such a distant character anymore. He lit his chin slightly and said seriously, "I always thought I was more like Paul."
