Chapter 757
"She" is about "human-machine love", but it is a story suitable for enjoying a lonely atmosphere.
Lehman always thought that Sophia was good at conveying the delicate emotions of loneliness. At the end of the movie, Theodore became a person again, but he was no longer tired of life...
The movie is over.
The guests either liked or encouraged applause lasted for more than ten seconds.
Many directors were a little surprised. For nothing else, the organizer said that the maturity after "Lost Tokyo" was real.
After enjoying a masterpiece, I said a lot of polite words before the opening ceremony ended.
Until she left the venue and went back to the hotel, Sophia's mood did not calm down. She was excited, happy, and many emotions.
Film critics also like this tone and praise it all the time.
"This is a work that is lazy in its bones. On a rainy day, I turn on the DVD player and the video is "She". It is quiet and comfortable. The proper sense of loneliness will never go out of date."
"The story continues to develop with network technology, and it is innovatively proposed that Samantha, an AI that can absorb data and evolve continuously, is like a confidant who is very familiar with everything you have. Through this shell, Director Sophia cleverly deduces. What will AI's understanding of human love be like, and it has always been calm in narrative and has a good temperament."
"She is a very unusual romance film. Theodore and Samantha have some philosophical problems with each other.
For example, the relationship between thoughts and the body? Human self-relationship and social interaction? The sense of belonging to the human emotional world?
I only watched it once, but there are still many things I want to talk about, but it seems that the focus of the movie is not on these.
Warmth, sadness, loneliness, supplemented by the lives of Theo many people.
This feeling is like the director giving a very grand proposition, and at the end of the sentence—
Why do you think so much? It’s dark and it’s time to turn off the lights and go to bed.”
"The actor is excellent and the director is emotional, so this is how excellent the work is created. Also, Samantha's dubbing is so touching, and her lazy voice is fascinating."
The next day, the newspapers and magazines in Cannes attracted the interest of many film lovers who came to experience the scope of the film festival.
If "She" was screened in theaters, there would definitely be no such a big sensation.
And coincidentally, those who can come to Cannes are already one of the most outstanding movie fans. In addition to pursuing visual enjoyment, they prefer spiritual enjoyment.
You can also simply understand that they can come here from afar, eat and have nothing to do, have the conditions, have some literary youths and some movies are very picky about the audience.
"She" certainly won't satisfy everyone.
Some long-winded lines and single scenes, they talked about the discomfort of a middle-aged divorced man in life and the worries about loneliness. The emotional ups and downs are not obvious, and there is no pleasure and climax brought by plot conflicts.
This kind of movie is destined to be unable to get high box office.
After all, the results of "Lost Tokyo" are already the best in the market performance of similar themes, and "She" may not be as good as "Lost Tokyo".
The praise of the film critics is to control Sophia's delicate shooting. On the contrary, because "She" talks about people falling in love with AI and not having a specific appearance, the audience's sense of substitution is worse.
After watching it, Samantha had no image except for the temptation in her voice, and of course she was not as real as Theodore.
But this is the number one place in Cannes, Europe's three major film festivals.
After the opening ceremony, "She" was scheduled for two more sessions, which was hard to come by, and the audience's response was very enthusiastic.
Interviews, discussions, exchange meetings, banquets, director receptions.
Sofia was very busy soon and received many invitations every day, and most of them could not refuse.
Such circles and connections are something she cannot miss.
In particular, the Coppola family's overseas influence is much worse than that in North America.
Tired, tired.
Is it worth it? Only happiness.
From filming the movie to being recognized by others, this is a process that is easy for the director to satisfy him.
As for the film "Fringe of Society" Alfonso made, he looked at some of the shadows of "Rome".
But the topic of focus is smuggling.
As we all know, there are many problems with the immigrant population in the United States, especially the border between the United States and Mexico, and the matters surrounding this aspect are very bad.
Because this movie is reflected and touches the dark side, the audience is not very interested after the screening.
After all, it’s normal for everyone to be adults and it’s not like to be preached.
In a cafe.
Lehman leaned against the chair and said to Perlman: "The distribution rights transactions of these two films will be left to you for processing. It shouldn't be too good, but it is definitely not bad. If it works well, "She" may have a higher box office."
"Can you stay and win the prize?"
Perlmann, who had been rushing to the publisher from Germany, asked.
If you want to follow the film festival route, you will definitely not be able to do without some appeal.
The awards at the Cannes Film Festival are relatively good plus points. To be precise, they should be bargaining chips for negotiating price increases.
"It should be. If you want to talk about the grand prize, I think "Social Edge" is more likely than "She".
Here, I have to mention the judges’ preferences.
It's okay to insist on expressing your political stance.
In fact, judging from the viewing experience, "She" is better than "Fringe of Society", and even "Rome" is actually very dull.
At this time, Alfonso did not have the narrative skills of filming "Rome", so that would be even worse.
But the theme selection of this video is extremely correct.
Maybe this is the smell of a filmmaker.
A movie that reflects the secret passage through the US-Mexico border and the black households living in the United States hit walls everywhere but is full of enthusiasm for life, and a movie that describes the details of life and is not very turbulent. The former must have more hope of winning an award.
Coupled with previous visits, public relations, and local support, the two movies will definitely be nominated and may win awards, but the value of the award is not very speculative.
Is the technology award also a prize?
Perlman ran around and had a lot of contact with similar things, nodding in agreement with Lehman's speculation.
He also thinks that movies like "The Fringe of Society" are more suitable for winning awards.
Because no matter how different you like, it is difficult to pick too many problems with a movie with a positive outlook on three or even a positive outlook.
This is political correctness.
Or if there is competition, there is no fairness on the platform selected by an individual. The subject matter is of course a plus.
night.
Perlman led Sofia and Alfonso to join forces with major overseas publishers.
Of course, these people are unwilling to return empty-handed if they can come here.
For such films that were very impressive during the screening of both film festivals, we can definitely evaluate the market potential.
If you think it is worth it, just talk. If it is not worth it, it is also good to make friends.
With a friendly and friendly attitude, Perlman soon received a cooperation contract from film manufacturers from various countries.
It has to be said that a platform like Cannes provides a social foundation for filmmakers all over the world.
......
In the blink of an eye, it was the closing ceremony and the group walked on the red carpet again.
"She" has the highest audience. Even though the film festival has lost many tourists, some people still stayed to watch the ceremony. When the crew of "She" appeared, it won a lot of cheers.
But as Lehman said, "The Fringe of Society" is more in line with the festival's appetite.
Finally, "She" won the jury award, "Fringe of Society" won the Palme d'Or, and the Best Director was won by Julian Schnabel.
This guy is also a director senior, and with the principle of dividing cakes, he is more suitable.
A kind of focus award - "California Dream".
Competition unit award - "Three Weeks and Two Days in April".
After the main show, "Blueberry Night" didn't take anything, which disappointed the King of Sunglasses.
But he has no sincerity in this film. Lehman wants to vote, so he is embarrassed to give it to others better.
Sofia was also a little disappointed, but she finally received a great honor.
The one who is most excited is Alfonso.
He was not the frequent Oscar player who won the award in later generations who was nominated for numerous Oscars. In surprise, he hugged Lehman hard, took a little floating footsteps and went on stage to get the Palme de Golden.
I laughed and felt a little excited, and I don’t know what to say.
My head was empty, and I forgot to take out the small note of speech I had prepared.
Chapter completed!
