As in the title, after watching the live broadcast of the Oscars, I don’t understand why “Brokeback Mountain” won so many awards. What’s wrong with the other four films?

Landlord First of all, your question is very provocative. I am located in Vancouver. I have seen all five films nominated for the best film in this year's Olympic Awards.To be honest, some of them simply finished watching after reading it, maybe because I didn't think so deeply, I couldn't get the essence of the work.But I want to say that even the Oscars need to serve ordinary audiences, because those judges are also audiences first, and academy judges second.If there is no way to infect the audience within two hours, then I want to say that this movie is actually a failure. It is empty if it has connotation, reason, admonishment, or how noble the three views are. "

Sometimes, social topics and social phenomena are also a kind of sustenance for the director's thoughts and ideas. As Ang Lee said, what he shoots are pure romance films, which implies a subtext: men and women, men and women, women It doesn't really matter whether it's a girl or a messy match. If people have love when they are together, that's pure love.

If you have to ask why "Brokeback Mountain" won the award, let's talk about it after watching the movie first.Even if you haven’t watched the movie, go to Rotten Tomatoes, imdb and other movie websites to look at the data, check the box office, and go to Google to find out how many honors the movie has won before the Olympic Awards!

Brother is well said, I will add two points.One: As a Chinese, Ang Lee himself has a diversified mind, which is not possessed by other Hollywood directors.If there is anyone who is more picky about the taste of the Oscar Academy judges, it must be the Chinese audience. It is very difficult to have so many mouths to say yes at the same time.Because the Oscar judges only need to vote, but the audience is difficult to adjust.Ang Lee's advantage is that he not only knows the Hollywood market, but also knows how to use public relations and publicity to achieve the best results under the premise of a huge population base.You know, not every Hollywood director knows the art of war.

Two: Too deliberate interpretation and shooting techniques are actually very distorted, and returning to nature may not be a fighting stance.So big productions don’t necessarily have an advantage, and cool special effects may not be as good as hand-cranked mirrors.Of course, I am not here to praise "Million Dollar Baby" on the basis of "The Aviator", they are all excellent works.I just want to emphasize that production cost, actor status, and box office are not the main criteria for Oscars.Therefore, the comparison is actually those few old things, and it is useless to make more fancy things.

I don't want to write thousands of words to evaluate which movie is good. Whoever can attract more people to the movie theater and get more people to comment on the homepage and leave likes is a good movie.It's a pity that Leonardo failed to compete for the best actor, but you haven't seen the young actors he represents fight up.Vincent is ten years younger than Leonardo. Last year he was nominated for Best Actor, and this year he directly won Best Supporting Actor. He didn't want to compare the two of them, because it was meaningless.What I want to say is just some influence brought by a film background in the actor selection process. Obviously, Vincent's overall performance in "Brokeback Mountain" is impeccable, and in comparison, Leonardo can have more There is a lot of room for improvement, which is also a problem of fullness and deficit from another perspective.Several buildings have been opened next door, so I won’t mention all of them. I just want to mention here that it’s yours and you can’t get away.

Facebook in Europe and the United States is full of friendship between Li Zi and Moon Demon. Why are you so serious about discussing who the best picture is for?Is there any point in discussing this after the award ceremony is over?Or who among you is going to be a judge next year?

Taking stock of Li Zi's girlfriend's building is not as high as here, when did so many 'professional' film critics flood into Mouya? Why didn't "Movie Weekly" invite you to write?

There are so many dramas to watch an awards ceremony, some teachers like to start the class the most, last time the Golden Globes were slapped in the face, this time again.Opened a trumpet and came here for fear that others would not know that you are a dog of a certain family?Before anyone in my family came out to talk, I sang the show first, which is also a real effort.With such a long title, I wanted to start a fight without asking whether we would agree or not. No matter how bad they were, they still got a nomination and a supporting actor, and they deserved the two grand finale awards.It's not like a certain person yelling at the red carpet because of an editing award~

The buddy upstairs respects you as a hero!I am not a film professional, so why do I think about such complicated things when I watch a movie?For example, the girls in our dormitory just watched the plot and licked the face of the protagonist.Of course, if you can find a young, talented young student like Vincent and Leonardo from China who has no black spots, I can accept Amway, and if I don’t say anything about the popularity of the red carpet.

At the age of 21, he is about to graduate from university, and has won an Olympic Award for best actor nomination for a best supporting actor. Now that I am 21, I am still thinking about whether to take the exam next semester...

I just climbed over the wall and went out and browsed around Facebook. You guys are so crazy here, the skyscrapers are so amazing!People over there are simply celebrating everywhere.In the final analysis, it is because I don't understand that I have doubts.But if you think about it, Brokeback Mountain’s box office in North America was more than 2 million US dollars, and the overseas box office has also accumulated to 7 million US dollars. You can calculate this level by yourself in RMB.This is one of the few films in the history of Oscars that won the best picture and has a decent box office.

Most of the forums in China are still discussing another failure of the Chinese film in the Olympics. As for Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" victory, only a few portal websites, mainstream newspapers and magazines published the news. "House of Flying Daggers" failed to be nominated for the best foreign language film, and even had only one nomination for the best cinematography. The result is indeed far from the previous enthusiastic publicity in the domestic media.

But if you can't stand it, there is a way - if you don't win an award, then talk about something else!Send a press release of "xxx is gorgeous on the red carpet", and then "xxx is fluent in English like a mother tongue, and the award ceremony shocked foreigners with fluent English"!Turn the topic around, anyway, you can always find a breakthrough to continue the enthusiasm.

During the group photo time at the end of the Oscars, Vincent took a photo with the best supporting actress Cate Blanchett and the best actor Jamie Foxx with the trophy already engraved with his name Taking a group photo together is also a common practice for group photos—the best supporting actor, best leading actor, best supporting actor and supporting actress, and group photos of best leading actor and leading actress will all appear in newspapers, magazines, official websites, and homepages.

Vincent also seized the time to touch up his makeup backstage. Although it was said to be a touch-up, it was just scratching his hair and sorting out the problems on his face and collar of his clothes.Actors are not as good as actresses after all, and Vincent's background is good enough, even if he is photographed out on the street without makeup, it is not just a big image gap.Once the makeup is applied, it really tends to be perfect, and it also gives people a flawless feeling under the high-power lens.

As soon as he came out of the door, he saw Leonardo who was about to turn away. This buddy obviously turned his back to Vincent, but it seemed that he had a pair of eyes behind him. He suddenly turned around and retracted. Stepping back: "Hey, where are you going?"

Didn't I come to ask you this?

Vincent had a dark face: "I'll go ahead and take pictures."

Speaking of this, Leonardo glanced at the statuette in Vincent's hand, and pouted slightly, "Oh, take a photo. All right, I'll go with you."

In fact, just now Vincent thought that the other party had finished the process and planned to retreat, preparing for a later Vanity Fair dinner, but Leonardo just did everything and came back directly.

When the reporters at the photo booth saw two figures appearing from the small red carpet at the same time, they couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.Obviously, the scenes where Leonardo and Vincent appear together in a serious manner are almost rare!Anyone who doesn't seize this opportunity to take photos and ask questions is a fool!

"Vincent look here—"

"Leonardo, can you tell everyone about your current mood?"

"Vincent, what plan do you have next? Are you going to take a break or start preparing for next year's Oscars?"

"Leonardo, can you tell us about your friendship with Vincent? Maybe the harmonious appearance of the two of you is actually very different from the real relationship?"

After the two signed their names on the back screen of the photo booth, they stood side by side on the steps.This year's photo booth has an extra one-inch-high platform, and the reporters stand under the steps with cameras and cameras to take pictures of the people on the steps, and the effect is bound to be better.It probably learned from the previous photographs of people who were more than six feet five into six feet three, and the original petite female stars were directly photographed as hobbits.

Two men so handsome that women would bow down under their suit pants were standing slightly sideways towards the middle, just forming a subtle angle. They both had blond hair and blue eyes, and both had broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs.On one side is Leonardo, who already has a mature and strong masculine charm, and on the other side is Vincent, a young man who still retains some youthful appearance, thin and slender.Some female staff members on the field could no longer talk, and only knew to press the shutter blindly.

Vincent originally planned to answer a few of the simplest and most uninteresting questions as he usually does. Since Leonardo, who was also a topic engine, was standing beside him, it would not be like the post-Golden Globe awards ceremony. The interview was so easy.Simply hand over the initiative to the other party, and just wait for yourself.

Leonardo turned his face and glanced at Vincent, who was expressionless and pursed his lips. In front of the media, this kid always looked like "I don't want to talk, and I don't really want to answer any questions you have." It looks like it, but they can hold on to the situation at critical moments.

"Well, Vincent and I have known each other for a long time, and we have always been friends who encourage each other to move forward." Leonardo carefully chose his words, "But it is obvious that I am temporarily behind."

The reporters laughed: You are cheating on yourself and holding others up.

Vincent raised his eyebrows: "Leo is actually very good tonight."

Leonardo was smiling and waiting to hear the next words of praise, and the reporters under the steps were also waiting for the little brother to say a few more words, but they didn't expect that the word would be gone after the end.But according to the usual practice, this is already Vincent's "limit".

Although he said very little, his expression was very sincere!

Not only Leonardo felt it, but also the reporter staff under the steps-Vincent and Leonardo were not without discord!Who said they pretended to have a good relationship so they could stand up!

His short sentence "You performed great tonight" has perfectly included comfort, praise, encouragement and other emotions!It is better than a thousand sentences!

If there were not so many people standing in the audience, to be honest, Leonardo wanted to embrace the young man beside him into his arms.He was lost all night, waiting until such a sentence really made people want to take out his heart and meet Vincent in front of him——

My heart really hurts, I need you to rub it...
