In a blink of an eye, two-thirds of the 35th Toronto Film Festival has passed, with only the last three days left, and the annual event is about to come to an end. ?? Eight? One Chinese? W? W ㈧ W?. ? 8㈧1㈠Z?W㈧. ?C㈠O?M? After entering the second half, the film festival finally ushered in the long-lost climax/trend!

First, "buried alive" unexpectedly became a hot topic, and overwhelming "Big Thieves in the City" became the focus of attention. Later, it also attracted a rise in calls for additional shows. The Toronto Film Festival Organizing Committee also responded immediately and gave an additional one. The treatment of the venue, as far as possible to meet the watching needs of more audiences. Although it was only a game, it was a breakthrough, especially commendable.

Then, "127 Hours" attracted the focus of the entire North America-some viewers caused vomiting and even fainting adverse reactions due to the **** scene of the actor using a knife to amputate his limbs while watching the movie, and there were more than one or two. Not only did the movie drew lively discussions, but it also attracted the attention and curiosity of more viewers. Of course, the more important thing is that the film itself has also received unanimous praise from film critics, who believe that Danny Bauer has once again dedicated Oscar-level works after "the slum millionaire".

Immediately afterwards, the Danish film "Better World" was screened globally, detonating a frenzy in the media. Together with the previously released "Scorched Earth City", it formed a foreign language film alliance, instantly becoming the top two best foreign language films in this year’s awards season. Seed, much attention.

It seems that every day you can feel the emergence of new hotspots, step by step to push the atmosphere of the Toronto Film Festival to its peak. Today, "Black Swan" is about to be screened, and people are collectively mobilized.

From the director to the actors, the film is an absolute blockbuster. It attracted a lot of firepower during the preparatory stage. It was unanimously affirmed at the Venice Film Festival before. The crew members just arrived in Toronto and received the highest level of welcome. The audience waited and waited. After all, when the work is shown in North America, how could they not be excited?

Hidden under the brilliance of the "Black Swan" reflection ceremony, it was the discussion of the two works "Buried Alive" and "127 Hours", which ignited the audience's enthusiasm for discussion.

There are many similarities between the two films. Both are independent films, both are stories of survival from desperation, both are the stage for one-man shows, and both are the shining works of the director and the male protagonist.

Although overall, "127 hours" is one size bigger, the part of one-man shows is almost two-thirds, and there are quite a few other actors; the investment cost is not at all on the same level, "127 hours" is almost "buried alive." About six times that of "; the fame and prestige of the director and the leading actor are also several steps higher... However, since the two works are screened one after the other, people still can't help discussing the two works together.

Especially after the praise for James Franco's acting skills began to rise.

Among the "127 hours" official site reviews, ten media gave seven good reviews, two medium reviews and one negative review. The overall reputation is slightly better than "buried alive". In line with the opinions of Lan Li, film critics praised Danny Bauer endlessly, and they all thought that the director had once again handed in an excellent answer sheet and brought a story that was almost impossible to adapt successfully. The screen; and there is a lot of affirmation for James' performance, but it is a lot of attention from the director and the script.

The "Hollywood Reporter" believes that "Bauer and Franco's talents guarantee the success of the film."

"The Wall Street Journal" stated, "Franko undoubtedly takes great courage to play this role, but the result is gratifying."

Among them, the "Los Angeles Times" affirmed the most direct, "This is the best performance of Franco's career as an actor! Every expression on his face full of joy gives life to the character."

Although Danny robbed a lot of the limelight, James also gained a lot of affirmation. Some local Toronto media even started to exclaim, "Franko rushed all the way to Oscar!"

Naturally, Renly and James were put together and compared:

Both are young people. Although James is thirty-one years old this year, in the Oscar's actor selection system, both of them are juniors; both of them are the only protagonists in the movie, and they are the main actors alone, showing under the lens They had extraordinary courage and delicate performances; not to mention that the two performances received unanimous praise from the media, and also mentioned the Oscar... This also means that the two are likely to become direct competitors for this year’s awards season. .

During the Oscar selection process, the judges’ inner limitations on youth are self-evident, especially the competition for the best actor, although every few years, a newcomer or young person will appear in the nomination list for the best actor. The human figure expresses the college's award to the younger generation, but the nomination is already a victory, and one seat is the limit. It is very rare that two young people are nominated together.

In other words, among Renly and James, there is a high probability that there is a "life and death" situation, and only one person can be nominated for the nomination-of course, the probability that both of them will lose the election is even greater.

In addition, the selection of the Oscars for acting awards is not a mathematical question, but a fixed formula, which is more often a comprehensive result of professional judgment and psychological bias. For example, last year’s Jeff Bridges, due to the dual factors of credit votes and guilt votes, coupled with the affirmation of many film critics, it is possible that the members of the academy did not even watch "Crazy Heart" and directly voted for Jeff. . Such a situation is not uncommon. When "Brokeback Mountain" lost to "Crash", many judges publicly admitted that they had never watched "Brokeback Mountain".

Generally speaking, if you want to win a nomination, you must be an acting group. It is very likely that the performance of the work itself is mediocre, but the acting skills of the actors are a real bunker, which is shocking. People ignore the mediocrity of the work and marvel at the wonderful performance, such as " Meryl Streep of "Iron Lady".

Either the work is outstanding, the actor's performance may not necessarily be shocking, just to complete his work in a satisfactory manner, but the participating works have a huge reputation, and even the best film is popular. People are ticking the best film. At that time, related actors were also selected by the way, such as "Focus" Mark-Ruffalo (mark-Ruffa1o) and Rachel McAdams (; want to meet both conditions at the same time, it is really rare, the entire Oscar history , Works that meet such standards are also within the countable range.

This is the situation these two young people are facing now. The work of "Buried alive" is slightly less integrated, but Lan Li's performance has been more admired; "127 Hours" is turned upside down, and James's light is turned upside down by Danny. A lot was taken away, but the overall quality of the work has received higher praise.

This also led to the same result, and the judges are likely to need to choose one of the two of Renly and James.

What's more, the awards season has not yet begun, and the real strong players have not yet appeared. Maybe after October, the voices of the two young people are fleeting, and no one remembers that at the Toronto Film Festival. There has been such a paragraph. So, if you choose one of the two, who should you choose?

"I haven't watched '127 Hours' for the time being. I believe James is an excellent actor. But personally, Renly's performance in'Buried alive' made me feel shocked." This is Ryan Goss. Lin's views expressed in an interview. When the reporter mentioned the opportunity of "Blue Valentine's Day" in this year’s awards season, Ryan laughed cheerfully, "Thank you for someone who still remembers me as an actor. However, between me and Lan Li, I am willing to choose Blue gift."

Joe-hamm also expressed his own point of view, "Undoubtedly, James Franco is an excellent actor, whether it is the'Pineapple Express' or'Milk', you can watch it. To his greatness. This time, Danny Bauer gave him a stage, and then he shocked everyone like this. Of course, there is also this year's'howl' that must not be forgotten."

Inadvertently, more and more people began to join the discussion on this topic. The stars at the Toronto Film Festival became the subject of inquiries. Obviously, James, who has been rolling in Hollywood for ten years, has won most of the support; The little one mentioned the Emmy Awards not long ago, and they were expecting Lan Li's performance. Of course, no one takes it seriously, everyone is just talking about it after dinner, adding some interesting anecdotes to the festival.

However, with everyone's discussion, the degree of the topic heating up is far beyond imagination. After the extra screening of "Buried Alive" ended, it added a fire to the discussion.

The audience's reaction to this work was far beyond expectations. Most of the audience said that the film's excitement and excitement were above the expected value, especially when the official journal gave more praise to "127 Hours". , "Buried alive", which is like a roller coaster, has won the audience's love-"127 hours" because it takes a lot of time to flashback and build characters, purely from the perspective of the smoothness of the movie, it is naturally better than Not "buried alive". This has also won a lot of word of mouth for "Buried alive" ~www.novelhall.com~ At the same time, thanks to the existence of hot topics, Lanli has also become the core of everyone's discussion, "Excellent! Really excellent." "It's hard to imagine that he is still a newcomer." "In fact, I think he is the only reason for the success of the whole work."...

Among them, many audience members took the initiative to bring up the competition between Lan Li and James, "I personally think Lan Li is better, the whole performance is more diverse." "I like Lan Li's performance, his performance has a kind of shock. "I actually like James very much, but Lanly really surprised me this time."...

From the perspective of visual impact and the structure of the script, the completely one-man Lan Li does have a slight upper hand. But more importantly, it was originally a topic that was just a chattering anecdote, but it spread at the Toronto Film Festival. The twin stars of Lanly and James even eclipsed Ryan.

With the blessing of this trend, "Buried alive" once again successfully attracted the attention of the public. How wonderful is Lan Li's performance? Can the movie be compared with "127 hours"? Is the discussion cited in the movie pure hype or real material? However, these questions are destined to be unanswered.

Because, the Toronto Film Festival is no longer scheduled.
