"Papapapapapa", the applause of the audience rang like thunder. The tide of applause and cheer made the dullness that had been silent for nearly forty minutes in the Movie Palace disappeared without a trace. Everyone showed an excited expression, stood up straight, and expressed their inner joy with the most direct shouts. The low pressure brought by the unpopularity of several awards before was completely replaced by the tide of hot and cold at this moment, and it was easy to push the 65th Venice Film Festival to a new peak.
Evan Bell stood up and hugged Anne Hathaway hard, then hugged each member of the "Juno" crew. Everyone seemed overjoyed, and the smile on their faces was completely overflowing. Even Evan Bell himself was surging in his heart, and was constantly hitting his chest.
After resting for nearly four months, Evan Bell did not expect that the entertainment industry would welcome his return in this way. A Golden Lion Award magnificent announcement of Evan Bell's gorgeous return after a long vacation. At the same time, it also announced that after winning the director's Grand Slam, Evan Bell did not stand still and continued to take firm steps and strive towards the next stage.
On the stage, Evan Bell took over the heavy Golden Lion Trophy from Wim Wenders. In terms of shape, this Golden Lion Trophy is not much different from the Silver Lion Award that Evan Bell won four years ago. The small and cute lion shape has a pair of wings spreading its wings on its back, and the weight in its hands is vaguely similar to that in memory. The only difference is probably the change in color from silver to gold. However, this little change is not only a breakthrough from second place to first place, but also the best proof of Evan Bell's overall grasp of the movie to the next level.
"First of all, I would like to thank Mark Muller for his willingness to invite me to Venice again, so that I can be lucky enough to meet Italian audiences with my work again," Evan Bell said with a smile, expressing his gratitude to the Italian audience and the Venice Film Festival. This also won the applause of the audience. "It was a very magical experience to shoot the work of Juno. It was really wonderful to be able to communicate some of my ideas with the audience through a relaxed and pleasant story. Fortunately, the audience liked it, and now it seems that the judges liked it. This is the best reward for me."
Evan Bell's smile was very bright. No one didn't like to win the award because it was a reward, not to mention that the results of his hard work were recognized, so he was naturally happier. "I must thank Allen Pegg, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman and other actors for accompanying me to experience this wonderful experience. Of course, most importantly, I must thank the Venice Film Festival for awarding this award to me. I was a little flattered to be able to win the same honor as film masters like Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni. So, please forgive the boredom of my speech for winning the award, because I am very worried that if I accidentally say something inappropriate, it would be bad."
Speaking of this, Evan Bell also cooperated to wipe his forehead and sighed a long sigh, which made people laugh. Then Evan Bell continued, "It is worth celebrating for me to win the award, but I think the color this time will definitely satisfy the media. So I must say again: Thank you!"
Evan Bell's words made the audience burst into laughter, and the last joke once again made people see Evan Bell's humorous nature. This also became the biggest highlight of this award speech.
The 65th Venice Film Festival ended with "Juno" winning the Golden Lion Award. The curtain came to an end. It has to be said that Venice is indeed the blessed land of Evan Bell. "Mysterious Skin" won Evan Bell's Best Director's Trophy here, "Brokeback Mountain" made Evan Bell's first international actor title. Now "Juno" has created a new journey of Evan Bell: the Golden Lion Award!
Evan Bale's achievements in the director position have always been impressive. It is proof that he has won the director's Grand Slam at the moment, but the actors have never been able to make further breakthroughs. But then again, Evan Bale has always lacked a breath in the director's position. Venice, Berlin, Cannes, Golden Ball, and Oscars are all the best directors, in other words, second place. These awards are all commendations of Evan Bale's control as a director, but in terms of the integrity, integrity and profoundness of the film, they have never been able to give Evan Bale the corresponding honor. Therefore, even though Evan Bale completed the unprecedented director's Grand Slam, the professional media couldn't judge that Evan Bale was always a breath, and the work from excellent to classic is that it was not able to make a breakthrough.
In fact, the overall quality of "perfume" and "blood is approaching" has risen to a certain level. These two works are only one line away from Evan Bale's new high, but unfortunately they failed in the end. However, professional film critics have determined that it is only a matter of time before Evan Bale completes his own breakthrough and creates new records, because he has this strength and spirituality.
I just didn't expect that this breakthrough came so quickly and so suddenly.
"Juno" became an excellent work for Evan Bell to the next level. Six months after Evan Bell completed the director's Grand Slam, he completed his own transformation at the 65th Venice Film Festival and won Evan Bell's first Golden Lion Award in his career, which is a gratifying congratulations.
It is conceivable that after completing the breakthrough in Venice again, Evan Bell will strike a stronger historical record next. Perhaps in the near future, another member will be added to the Grand Slam winners of the Golden Lion Award, the Golden Bear Award and the Palme d'Or. Of course, this is just a "maybe", but at least it can be expected, isn't it?
The 65th Venice Film Festival is recognized as the most deserted film festival since the century, but it set off a climax in the final stage. A "Juno" can definitely be said to have saved Venice, which also allowed the Venice Film Festival to increase confidence before the Toronto Film Festival on the other side of the Atlantic to come.
Since 2005 when Brokeback Mountain won the Venice Golden Lion Award, the American independent film industry began to sweep the major film festivals and award ceremony led by the Oscars, and gradually completed the transformation from individual phenomena to common situations at the Oscars. In this trend of independent production, Studio 11 also stood at the forefront of the wave and rose strongly.
The rise of "Juno" is actually a reflection of the strong influence of the United States on the world's film field. At this Venice Film Festival, the three troikas of Japanese films, Miyazaki, Takeshi Kitano and Mori Oshii returned empty-handed, and the ambitious "wrestlers" also ended in a lonely way. The "paper plane" and "Tessa" joined forces with "Juno" to rise strongly, becoming the biggest gain of this year's trip to Italy.
After the award ceremony, some of the judges invested in internal news. In fact, "Juno" won the Golden Lion Award, it can be said that he was in a hard battle. After all, the niche of the subject matter was destined to not have an advantage in the award selection.
"Juno" finally won the victory in the pincer attacks of "paper plane", "Tessa" and "wrestler". In fact, among the seven judges who hoped that the "wrestler" would win the Golden Lion Award were polarized, and three fully supported the four people to completely oppose it, which also made the judges' discussion last for seven hours. After spending nearly four hours of time, the first to complete the allocation of the "paper plane" and "Tessa", the final competition for the Golden Lion Award was locked between "Juno" and "wrestler".
China, Hong Kong director Du Qifeng is ranked as a judge this year. He firmly opposed the "wrestler" winning the Golden Lion Award. He believes that this work is not qualified to compete for the Golden Lion Award at all, because the overall film has become mediocre. Compared with "Juno", the overall level of the "wrestler" is one level weaker. Even when compared with the movie winner Mickey Locke and Allen Page, it is comparable.
The biggest highlight of "Juno" is actually to take the weight easily and return to nature. It seems that there is no profound theme, but laughing and happy joy will come to an end. But in fact, Evan Bell's content hidden in the lens language is extremely rich, and it can even be said to reflect some deep-rooted problems in the entire American society.
The judges who support the "wrestler" are led by Wim Wenders. The tenacity and optimism of spirit overcoming everything carry forward the true meaning of life to the extreme. This almost cliché-like inspirational route is exactly the spirit that Venice, who is in crisis, needs the most. And Mickey Locke's outstanding performance has brought the quality of the whole movie to a higher level.
Just for the discussion on the Golden Lion Award, the seven judges spent three hours in an endless debate. In the end, "Juno" won the final victory with four votes to three votes and won the Golden Lion Award.
However, from the general media point of view after the end of the film festival, the jury made the right choice. The reporters all believed that "Juno" won the Golden Lion Award was the most correct and wisest decision in Venice this year. Even the stupidity of the choice of the best actor and actress can be temporarily forgotten, and it can even be said to be the only highlight of this film festival.
But no matter what, the 65th Venice Film Festival came to an end. Evan Bell started a new journey with the first Best Picture Award in his career. After leaving Venice, Toronto's excitement began. Most crew members, including works such as "Wrestler", "Juno", and "Rachel's Wedding", must go to Toronto as soon as possible to launch a new round of publicity.
