There are various interpretations of "Clockwork". In addition to the common "the short film is intended to satirize those who are stuck in a rigid life", there is also the opposite "although the life represented by 'Clockwork' is boring and mediocre. , it is very fatal for ordinary people to leave it" and other views.
Other film critics analyzed and thought from the actions and ending of the protagonist: Those guys who have a sense of superiority and control the masses to make money for fun, are not busy all day long, and unknowingly have been trapped in the vulgar and rigid "clockwork country" ?
And a more philosophical extension: Those who destroy the "free will" of others will eventually be deprived of their free will, and karma will be nothing more than this.
Or a political perspective: rebellion against rules and emancipation of will that do not penetrate the masses and have sincere sympathy for the masses will inevitably be lost in the status quo, and those who are awakened will eventually be assimilated. The emperor's position has been changed, but there is still an emperor in the world. The person who unplugged the clockwork has a clockwork on his back, and the clockwork is still here.
There are many opinions.
"Clockworker" won the "Best Short Film Award" for its excellent creativity and profound connotation, which is well deserved.
The awards ceremony continued, and there was little suspense about the next "Best New Director Award". Sure enough, Fana Stephan, the female director from Country A whom Qin Jue had met at the dinner, won the crown.
In fact, there are five new directors nominated for this award, including Fana, which is the largest number that can be achieved within the scope of the award. Fana's ability to dominate the supposedly fiercely competitive finals fully proves the strength of this young and beautiful director and producer.
At this moment, she came to the stage to receive the award with her head held high as when she first met her. There was no surprise or excitement on her face, but "it should be so" written all over her face, just like the top student who had already expressed confidence in himself before the report card was announced. The score is fully assured.
Qin Jue applauded politely. Due to lack of time and personal interest, she did not watch Fana Stephen's work "The Lover". She only heard Quentin mention a few words. It was said that the filming techniques used in it were novel and bold, and the emotions of the male and female protagonists were related to each other. The development of the main plot is very exciting, and it is a quite unforgettable action movie.
After giving her acceptance speech, Fana walked down the stage gracefully. Just like the word "cutting-edge" in her award, she exuded the aura of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, proud and confident.
Another person with a look similar to hers was the director from France, Jean-Luc Breillat, but this one was not as lucky as the former and failed to "break out of the siege." When the jury president Melia announced that the winner of the "Special Jury Prize" was "Jean-Luc Breillat for "Mr. Black and White Cat"", his face suddenly became slightly ugly.
After all, it is nominally called the "Special Jury Award", but everyone knows that the real name of this award is the "Second Best Film Award". Jean-Luc was arrogant, and this time he came for the final "Best Picture Award". Unexpectedly, he only got a silver award, so naturally he was not convinced. However, despite being in full view of the public, he did not have a fit and still managed to smile politely and received the trophy from the last Best Actress, Pina Velasquez.
Qin Jue applauded and continued to work on the atmosphere group calmly. She has read the introduction and some short reviews of the film "Mr. Black and White Cat" directed by Jean Luc. Some people say that the film is very imaginative and that every detail embodies the unique black humor of the country of France. Others say that the director is not as good as him. In the past, it seemed that the focus was on the absurd and dense laughter, thus neglecting the connotation behind it, so that the whole film could not withstand scrutiny and tasted useless in the end.
No matter what, the overall situation has been decided. The Venazzola International Film Festival has its own set of fair judging standards. Even if Jean-Luc himself has some complaints, there will be no "rebuttal" and "complaint" procedures for him to choose. .
At this point, more than half of the awards for the 82nd Venazzola International Film Festival have been awarded. The female host finished a series of appropriate speeches with a smile, and then the lights dimmed slightly, and the big screen switched back to a beautiful dynamic background picture from the live broadcast. The curtain came down, and musicians in twos and threes walked onto the stage holding violins. At the same time, Melia and others walked along the steps back to the front row seats on the side of the stage.
This is an intermission, and it also gives some breathing room to the TV stations that are broadcasting simultaneously and the news media that pay attention to the latest news, reminding them that "you can write now", or "attention! The highlight is coming next, please be prepared."
About a quarter of an hour later, the melodious sound of the piano fell, and bursts of applause broke out in the venue.
The female host who took the break to touch up her makeup returned to the stage. The three chairmen and vice-chairmen of the jury who announced and announced the prizes also sat on the stage again during the joking interaction with the host. The second half naturally took over. The first thing to be announced was It's the "Best Screenplay Award".
Qin Jue cheered up a little.
"The works nominated for this year's 'Best Screenplay' award are..."
The female host reported the information of the candidate films one after another in an unhurried manner. In addition to "Daytime Rain", there were four other films competing at the same time, namely "Mr. Black and White Cat" by Jean-Luc Breillat, "Mr. Black and White Cat" by Frances Liu "Neon Universe", Ronan Lind's "The Call of the Mist" and another director's "Children 1980".
The cameraman and the lens in his hand were not far away, and Mu Sisi kept a decent smile. She felt that she had used her lifelong acting skills at this time, so she didn't purse her lips nervously.
Needless to mention the distinctive style of "Mr. Black and White Cat", "The Neon Universe" is the hottest science fiction movie this year, "The Call of the Mist" is about psychology and human nature, and even the police film "Children 1980" is full of dangers and suspense. .
The intensity of this competition is outrageous!
Of course Mu Sisi has confidence in "Daytime Rain", but she also deeply knows that the success of this work is most inseparable from He Xu's control and Qin Jue's performance. If you look at the various aspects of "Daytime Rain" separately, it is not actually good at plot.
Grinding her teeth lightly without ruining the smile on her face, Mu Sisi regretted for a few seconds that she didn't take advantage of the break to go to the bathroom and light a women's cigarette to calm down and refresh herself. On second thought, being able to follow Director He to the Venazzola International Film Festival Awards Ceremony is already a huge reward, and I should be satisfied both emotionally and rationally. It's just...sitting in this place in person, who can't help but look forward to a better award-winning scene?
"The winner of this year's 'Best Screenplay Award' is——"
Just when Mu Sisi was so anxious that she had facial nerve pain, Tadel Stephen, the winner of the last "Best Screenplay Award", announced:
"Francis Liu! "Neon Universe"!"
The sequelae blind box opened is: photophobia.
I originally thought that just seeing natural light would make me sleepy and tired. I thought that since I was used to having day and night reversed, I could just close the curtains and turn on the lights and work. But I didn’t expect that the situation would be more serious. Artificial lights would also cause irritation. Now my whole body Already living almost like a vampire, with all the curtains drawn and only the dim bedside lamp turned on, well...
