So far, in terms of the number of prizes, "Burst Drummer" is about to catch up with the "Budapest Hotel". The former has three trophies and the latter has four. Both "Birdman" and "Boyhood" have been dumped. Behind you, although this does not mean the trend of the best film, there is no doubt that the academy judges love this work. The competitive landscape is fully open!

Onlookers are bound to have questions. Is the award for the best editing so important?

The real meaning is not in the "Best Editing Award" itself, but in that every strong competitor wins its strongest project as a matter of course, continuing the momentum of the second phase of the awards season, without upsets, there will be no Falling behind, the stable pattern has been continued all the way.

Throughout the awards season, "Boyhood" and "Budapest Hotel" took the lead hand in hand, followed by "Burst Drummer" and "Imitation Game". In the first half, there was no "Birdman" who could win too much momentum. The final part of the first stage exerted its strength and began to look up; then the "Imitation Game" and the "Budapest Hotel" fell behind one after another, and the "Birdman" surpassed strongly and sprinted toward the Oscars in parallel with the "Boyhood".

Before the opening of the Oscars ceremony, "Boyhood" and "Birdman" were inextricably separated, "Burst Drummer" followed closely, and "Budapest Hotel" was gradually weakened, but still ahead of other competitors, the entire First Group Four seeded players joined hands to launch an offensive towards the best film.

"Boyhood" is light and concise, presenting the power of time in a truly recorded way, completely getting rid of the technological innovation of contemporary film, and returning to the film's own skills down-to-earth, just like Richard Linklater before. The trilogy of "before sunrise", "before sunset" and "before midnight" presented by time is astonishing.

At the moment when the commercialization of movies is becoming more and more serious, the return to the basics of "boyhood" is definitely a big alternative in the industry. Who can dislike it?

On the other hand, "Birdman" is complex and heavy, and the iconic long lens is full of intricate design, presenting the technique of the film in another way; at the same time, it is in sharp contrast with the de-dramatic purity of "boyhood" , "Birdman" highlights the drama with a sense of ups and downs.

But the "Birdman" really moved Hollywood, it's its story, just like the "artist" who looked back at the golden age.

On the surface, it tells the story of an out-of-the-box actor trying to revive, but for the precarious film industry practitioners, it is a painful one:

Every employee in the industry may face such a dilemma. The last second is infinite, and the next is unattended. That kind of insecurity is a lingering nightmare for everyone, unless they reach Lanli or Meili. -Streep’s level, otherwise everyone needs to face the crisis of possible unemployment at all times.

In the "Birdman" story, the male protagonist tries to find a chance to make a comeback from Broadway. In reality, this is also the mainstream choice in Hollywood. For example, Glenn Cross starred in "Sunset Boulevard" during the downturn of his career in the 1990s. "The musical version of ", won the opportunity to return to Hollywood again, but the famous actor Fei Donna Wei who also competed for the role was completely retired because he did not get the role.

Compared with Broadway, there are still people who have to choose TV dramas, but compared with the influence of movies and Broadway, TV drama actors have a narrower road, so that many actors have to disappear on the screen or choose regional dramas. The group, or go to Las Vegas to participate in performances-Madonna and Britney Spears have both gone to Las Vegas to perform, and Miss Gaga also made the same choice during the downturn in her career.

It can be understood that the more the actors who have experienced the peak, the more they can't let go of the burden and face. The shackles brought by the glory of the past make them at a loss. This is also the origin of the Oscar statuette's curse. Ask to limit your options.

In the end, they got into trouble.

In fact, the story of "Birdman" can be regarded as Hollywood's self-defeating and self-motivation. In the eyes of the academy, this is undoubtedly a high-level gesture-facing up to one's shortcomings and weaknesses, but refuses to surrender, even The "artist" needs to be more clever, and can easily win the hearts of the college judges.

In the second stage of the academy’s public relations, the Fox searchlight over and over again, tirelessly reminding Hollywood practitioners in a variety of ways: "Birdman" is basically everyone in Hollywood, and basically tells the story of everyone in the past. , Present and future dilemmas.

If we say that the "boyhood" of returning to the basics is actually the tireless pursuit of the film development for a century, after repeated discussions, there is no new idea when talking, it seems that it is just like that, more just testing the creators Patience; and the worries and fears of the "Birdman" are everywhere, like a nightmare like reincarnation, which continues to be staged in every age and every person, and will continue to be staged.

This also became the turning point of the second stage of the college’s public relations. Strategically abandoned the Fox searchlight of the "Budapest Hotel", easily seized the upper hand, and successfully paved the way for the "Birdman" to come from behind, and surpassed competitors all the way. "Boyhood" stood at the same height.

So, what about the "burst drummer"?

Compared with the "boyhood", "Burst Drummer" is undoubtedly novel. Damien Chazele uses drum beats to create rhythms, edits in series, and shoots movies by composing music scores. The final product presents a kind of The smooth melody allows the audience to see another way to open the movie.

Compared with the "Birdman", the "Burst Drummer" is undoubtedly bold. It challenges people's understanding of art with a "father-killing" posture, and penetrates from the physical level to the spiritual level in a **** way. It truly shows the ultimate experience of pursuing perfection in the field of art, which can be called crazy.

The same is all about art. "Birdman" stays at the stage of self-remembering and self-movement, but "burst drummer" goes deeper and further on the road of challenging and breaking through, with a kind of crumbling and cruelty. Qi, dashing all the way unreasonably, there is a kind of destructive power.

It can be said that "boyhood" and "birdman" are both returning to tradition. The former is conservative and the latter returns to the artistic pursuit of the film industry with novel methods. One is shooting skills and the other is practitioners. ; And the "burst drummer" is breaking the tradition, even provoking the bottom line of the college tradition, from the two levels of shooting skills and practitioners, let the audience feel the pain of artistic breakthrough——

The dual suffering of body and spirit.

If technological innovation should be commended, then "burst drummer" is more commendable than "birdman"; if artistic pursuit should be commended, then "burst drummer" is also more noticeable than "boyhood"; if commendation should break the shackles, then "burst drummer" It should be more affirmed than "boyhood" and "birdman".

This is also the reason why Sundance Film Festival chose "Burst Drummer" instead of "Boyhood". What they admire is the hostility that Renly and Damien injected into this film, with brutality. The tough posture breaks the existing constraints and presents the truest appearance of artistic pursuit.

It's just like the scene shown in "Birdman": The former superhero actor tried to turn over, but failed to do so, and his career was in desperation; as a result, he became popular on social networks because he lost his body naked on the street. Nowadays, artistic level is no longer the criterion for judging movies. More and more gossip news and commercial hype are becoming the focus. How many works are willing to focus on artistic creation like "boyhood" and "burst drummer"?

"Birdman" came from behind, surpassing "Boyhood" and "Burst Drummer". It is the greatest mockery of the movie itself and reality itself.

But Oscar is not Sundance. The academy does not have the courage and courage of Robert Redford. The "Burst Drummer" is always challenging the audience's nerve bottom line. In the final analysis, it is challenging the bottom line of the academy judges. Guo's mockery slapped their faces like a slap in the face——

Andrew overthrew Fletcher. Isn't it that the "burst drummer" is overthrowing the authority of the college judges?

As a result, the turbulent situation in the second phase of the awards season showed such a situation:

"Boyhood" moved forward steadily, "Birdman" made a strong counterattack, "Burst Drummer" looked forward to it, and "Budapest Hotel" waited for the opportunity.

Four works, including the "Budapest Hotel" that was dragged down by Scott Rudin, did not completely withdraw from the competition, all of which added more variables to the Oscars.

Tonight, after the award ceremony began, the first group's four main competing works ~www.novelhall.com~ all won in their strongest fields, until the Best Editing Award——

The award of "Blasting Drummer" is well received. Once again, the "powerful posture" has been successfully continued. There is no upset or dark horse to subvert the second stage of the pattern. The first group still has the favor of the college judges, and no one breaks through. No one is left behind. This is the situation at this time.

It is precisely because of this that "Blasting Drummer" won the Best Editing Award, which is considered to be the suspense of the best film becoming more mysterious. No one can accurately judge the influence of the second stage of the college public relations on the judges' hearts. In the end, Projected on the ballots, another wave was created.

At this time, the awards season has entered the final third stage, but still no one can accurately interpret it.

The suspense of the ultimate award is becoming more and more interesting, faintly can be compared with the best actor, which also means that the award ceremony is more and more worth looking forward to-perhaps, the singing and dancing performances and the winning speech are still long and boring, but every award Awarding can change the pattern subtly. Expectations and tension, curiosity and excitement are quietly permeating the Dolby Theater. Even Neil can feel this.
