Get Out! After the news of the impact of the Oscar Foreign Language Film Awards on behalf of the Chinese mainland" was released, everyone's discussion was in full swing. Whether it's deserved or not, Get Out! "Tumor Jun" is not simple to stand out from the 81 films in the competition.
Let's first take a look at the road to the promotion of a foreign language film.
First, it has to represent the country during the audition phase. Therefore, in the list of 81 films, there is no shortage of award-winning works in major film festivals.
Secondly, the list of 9 nominations selected by the judges. Then, the new judges selected 5 more from the 9 films and became the final nominees. At the Oscars, the final winner was revealed.
(This year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is Poland's "Sister Ida")
Let's turn our attention to the just-announced big list of nominations for foreign language films for the 2016 Oscars. We mourn! heart! sickness! mad! I took stock of all 81 nominated films and found a lot of interesting phenomena:
1. There are many films on the theme of World War II, presumably this year is the 70th anniversary of the victory of the world anti-fascist war.
2. There are also many same-sex films, and 2015 is a rainbow color year!
3. There are many films in which the little boy is the protagonist, and the childlike perspective sees the world.
4. Many films deal with religion, some deconstructed and some black.
5. Newcomer directors have sprung up, allowing people to see new hopes for various countries.
Let them line up in front of us in alphabetical order of the countries.
The first to come to us was the Afghan team, whose films have always been known for exploring human nature, faith and social ethics, and the same is true of "Utopia" selected this time.
The story revolves around an Afghan woman named Janan who goes to England to undergo artificial insemination, and medical student William replaces the donor's sperm with her own, and things begin to develop unexpectedly.
Albania, with its 472 km coastline, has an interesting title for the selected work "Botha", which means "world" in Albanian, and Bota in English means "leather bag for wine". In this café called "Bota", nothing happens, everything happens again...
The representative team of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria from the Mediterranean coast came to us, and the film they selected and sent was full of mysterious temperament.
The enthusiastic Argentine team followed, but their film "Crime Family" was heavier. The story is based on a true kidnapping case in the 80s, and director Pablo Chabiro won the Silver Lion Award at the 72nd Venice Film Festival for this film.
The Australian phalanx walked towards us in a neat stride, and their entry was Arrows of the Thunder Dragon, which is currently poorly documented and not very clear.
The austrian delegation selected the work "Good Night Mommy". Judging from the twins' sharp eyes in the stills, the film seems to be deeply impressed by the cold wind of the Austrian master Haneke.
The setting is also fascinating: a pair of beautiful twin boys live in a big house in the country, isolated and carefree, waiting for Mommy to return. But what arrived was a woman with a bandaged head, leaving only a pair of eyes to look at them fiercely.
Coming to us next is the Story of Jalal from the Republic of Bengal. Judging from the limited information, this is a movie with a child as the protagonist.
We would like to focus on the Belgian delegation's film Super New Testament. In this crazy comedy, God is a paranoid old pervert who lives in Brussels, the magic weapon that controls the world is a 586 configuration computer, he has a hapless daughter, and his wife is the sweeping aunt of the pink flower girl's heart. The film has many homages to biblical stories and classic movies.
(The French goddess Catherine Deneuve sparks love with a chimpanzee in the film)
The entry of the Bosnian delegation was "Our Daily Life". (The announcer's long silence)
The following is the Brazilian delegation, who chose the movie "The Second Mother", the heroine is a mother who works as a nanny in someone else's home, reflecting the living conditions of all classes in Brazil, very grounded.
The Bulgarian entries "The Judgment" and Cambodia's "The Last Reel" are relatively unfamiliar, and there is not much online information.
The Canadian delegation's "Felix and Mela" is a standard love movie by name, but the film is quite restrained and slightly dull.
Chile's selected work is "Priest Club", don't look at the name calm, it is actually a very dark film. This so-called "priests' club" is a small group of priests and nuns who are blasphemous, baby traders, gamblers, and murders, and blackmail the Catholic Church to the end.
Director Pablo Larein's last work, Chile Say No, was also successfully shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
The films participated in by the Chinese team are not the previously legendary "Wolf Totem" and "Mountains and Rivers of the Past", but the "Get Out!" that surprised everyone. Tumor Jun". The movie is adapted from the anti-cancer experience of Xiong Dun's real life, and I believe that everyone has seen it in the cinema.
Next up, there was the Colombian delegation, whose film was "Snake's Embrace". In 1909, a German scientist leads a wizard in search of a lost civilization in the Amazon jungle; in 1941, an American botanist goes deep into the Amazon jungle to meet a wizard and asks him to take him to find a mysterious plant recorded by German scientists. The two adventures, 30 years apart, witnessed the invasion of the Amazon jungle by European civilization and the destruction of the local faith by the Catholic Church. Well, another black Catholic movie.
Sorry, the Costa Rican delegation that appeared below does not seem to have submitted the information for the selection of the work, we only know that it is called Imprisoned.
Croatia's film is called "The Sun Shines High", by the same pair of actors, playing three different loves of three eras. Although it is a love story, it is combined with the history of Croatia. Why is it called the sun shining? It is said that every emotional redemption is accompanied by a rising sun.
The Czech delegation's Home Care focused on a nursing physician dedicated to caring for a patient. (The announcer was silent for a long time)
Walking us below is the Danish delegation, which has chosen to send "The Day of War.". The film shows the tragic and helpless history of Denmark announcing its surrender after only 4 hours after the Blitzkrieg launched by Germany during World War II. As a World War II film, "War Day" is very special, "surrender if you can't win, there is nothing to damage dignity." ”
It was followed by a delegation from the Dominican Republic, whose entry was "The Dollar of Sand," about the love of a pair of girls.
Next up was the Estonian delegation, which chose a historical war film, 1944.
This year is the big year of World War II movies, everyone has watched a lot of Soviet Union fight against Germany, and how many people know that a sandwich country like Estonia still has to fight against the Soviet Union? And in reality both sides of the war were Estonians. "1944" is a film that shows this history, giving you another perspective on World War II, and also proving that 1.5 million euros can also make a war blockbuster.
Below us is the Ethiopian delegation, which started late, and their entry, Lamb, is the debut of director and screenwriter Yared Zeleke, telling the story of a little boy left behind and his pet sheep, focusing on the beautiful scenery of Africa and the living conditions of local rural people.
The Finnish delegation came to us with their "Swordsman" (Miekkailija). Based on the true story of the Estonian swordsman Endel Nelis, the film is also about political persecution in the Soviet Union.
Below we see the French delegation and their entry, Mustang. The film is the feature film debut of Turkish female director Tinis Agwen, filmed entirely in Turkey, using local actors to tell the story of the fettering fetishism of Turkey.
In the film, a young sister is imprisoned by her family for minor physical contact with a boy and is arranged for an arranged marriage. This situation of unmarried women being treated as criminals because they touch men still exists in Turkey today.
Next up was the Georgian delegation, whose entry "Moira" did not receive much attention. Moira is a collective term for the three goddesses of destiny in Greek mythology, and as the name suggests, this movie tells the story of a man who fights against fate.
Then the German delegation appeared before us, this time bringing with them the World War II reflection film "The Labyrinth of Silence". After the war, the Germans made a lot of anti-war films, and this time they changed their perspectives.
Germans immersed in the tide of reconstruction after the war were silent about the war, leaving the younger generation ignorant of it, while the young prosecutors searched for survivors of Auschwitz, but found that everyone around them was inextricably linked to the crimes of that year...
Approaching us was the Greek delegation, which chose a pink-scented gay film, Xenia (Taiwanese translation: My Greek Sweetheart). The film challenges the sensitive areas of Greek society, not only touching on the topic of nationality, but also featuring the sweet, cute, fearless Gay teenager. (From Douban)
Below we see the delegation of Guatemala. Representing the small Central American country of Chong Ao, "Ixcanul", which won the Alfred Prize (Innovation Spirit Award) at this year's Berlin Film Festival, tells the story of a girl in a closed village who tries her best to escape from the village to the city.
Next up was our Delegation from Hong Kong, China, whose selected work was Lin Chaoxian's "Breaking the Wind". It seems that hong Kong really can't find any works to participate in this year.
The following is the Delegation of Hungary. Their entry, Son of Thor, is a regular at various film festivals this year and a film focused on the holocaust of World War II. The protagonist, a Jew in charge of burning corpses at Auschwitz, shows the cruelty and despair of the camp through his story of finding a rabbi to bury his son. As a director's feature film debut, he is quite skilled in the use of long shots and atmosphere creation, and won the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Although the Nordic countries have a small population, they have produced many good movies. Below we see the Icelandic delegation, their selection work "Ram" inherits the usual coldness and humor of Nordic films, the story of two old brothers and sheep, no big scenes and fierce conflicts, and see the truth in simplicity.
The Indian delegation, which has always been known for its song and dance comedies, brought a drama film with a bit of self-black meaning, "Courtroom". The film, the director's debut film, won the Lion of the Future award at last year's Venice Film Festival for revealing the problems of Indian society and the justice system in a ridiculous courtroom.
Next up was the Iranian delegation, which selected Muhammad: The Messenger of God, which tells the story of the great man of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and is said to be the first in a trilogy.
Walking behind Iran was a delegation from his neighboring brother Iraq, selecting "Memories on Stone." The film confronts the tragic history of the 1988 Kurdish massacre in the form of a play-within-a-play format.
Below we see the Irish delegation, whose entry, Viva, is another gay film. Although representing Ireland, the film is set in Havana, where the protagonist is a Cuban teenager eager to step onto the stage of cross-dressing.
His delegation followed close behind. Their films often reflect more religious, war, and ethnic issues, but the film "Baba Joon" selected this time tells the story of an ordinary immigrant family.
Coming to us next is the Italian delegation. This year's film "Don't Be Evil" is a crime drama set in the 90s when hedonism was prevalent, focusing on the entanglement of brotherhood and interests.
Behind them was the Ivorian delegation, whose selection was called "Escape", which is also the name of the protagonist of the film, because he has been "escaping" all his life.
The Japanese delegation is lining up with their "Love of One Hundred Dollars" to us. Almost all of Japan's representative works every year come from the top ten films of the year, and this year is no exception. Once again, with a small boda, bringing the hot blood of the waste wood girl," I want to win, once or not!" ”
Next up was the Jordanian delegation, the film "Hib", which focuses on Jordan's war and unique culture from the perspective of a child. The film is the director's feature film debut and won the Best Director Award in the Horizon section of the Venice Film Festival.
The Kazakh team's "Stranger" is also a World War II film. Another translation of the film, "Zhat", seems to be more in line with the theme, during the Sharp Decline in Kazakhstan during World War II, they were exiled for political problems, and the film is about oppression and resistance during this period.
The Kosovo team is approaching us. They brought us their entry, Babay, which is also a regular visitor to film festivals around the world. The film is a brutal and true story of a ten-year-old Kosovo boy who is abandoned in Germany, searching for his father and starting a new life all the way.
The Kyrgyz team led the film "Heavenly Nomadic" to come, with the fresh temperament of the herdsmen and the warmth of the family... (A face of longing ~)
The Latvian film was Modris. Although the male protagonist has the appearance of a bad teenager, he has thoughts about society and family. The important thing is that the male protagonist looks pretty handsome!
The Lebanese team's "Void" focused on the waiting of 6 women for their loved ones after the civil war. The film is full of the breath of love and the heartache of waiting.
The Lithuanian team came with their film Summer of Sangerly, which won the 2015 Sundance World Drama Award for Best Director. Flying + Lithuanian scenery + the love entanglement of the heroines, and the appearance is still very high, and the director is also fighting!
The Luxembourg team that greeted us, their choice of "Lonely Baby" looked like it was about a rebellious teenager.
The Macedonian representative's selection of "Honey Night" is politically oriented, and the wonderful narrative technique will add a lot to the film.
Below, the Malaysian team that came to us, their selection of the work "Salvation Man", known for its black humor, tells the story of a farce caused by the haunting of a deserted house, and incidentally satirizes the bad habits of local feudal superstition. (But aren't Southeast Asian countries inherently superstitious?) ）
The Mexican team came with a major film, "600 Miles," which won the Best Debut Award at the 65th Berlin Film Festival.
The young Mexican boy who holds the border police hostage and wears the U.S.-Mexico border sounds like a very exciting story, and some friends who have seen it say that the last few minutes of the film are really amazing.
The film "You Carry Me", which is a family of four, tells four different lives. "Happy Prisoner" is the theme of this film, and the friction between families is certainly indispensable.
It was followed by the Moroccan team, whose work was "Aida", which had the enthusiasm of the African coastal countries...

The Peruvian team was approaching us, and their phalanx was headed by a forensic doctor and eight corpses. Oh no, nine, and one left behind! The film "Missing Persons" (NN) tells the story of these forensic doctors and bones.
Eight bones that had disappeared during political upheaval 20 years ago had been found, and forensic doctors had accidentally found a ninth bone when they confirmed their identity. A lady who had been searching for a husband for many years rushed to hear the news, and the bones except for the rotten clothes were only a vague photo of the girl, and the task of confirming the identity of the bones fell to the forensic doctors again.

This was followed by Polish masterpieces, and their selection of works was "11 Minutes" by the 77-year-old director Jez Kolimovsky.
The film tells the story of five groups of characters who died in an accident, and what they did in the 11 minutes before the disaster, very stylized. Director Skolimovsky may not be as internationally known as his compatriot Polanski, but he has won at three major international film festivals, including a Berlin Golden Bear (Departure).
The Portuguese team's selection of works is very interesting, called "One Thousand and One Nights: Part 2", directed by the famous Miguel Gomez.
In fact, the 383-minute "One Thousand and One Nights" trilogy is a whole, but the three films are independent of each other, and it is the second most highly rated foreign language film to compete. Through the perspective of the puppy Dixie, the film sees the indifference and hypocrisy of modern people, and packs social issues with rich interest.
Coming to us below is the Romanian team. In the past decade, Romania has gained more and more attention in the world film industry, and this time "Aferim! Strength cannot be underestimated.

Director Li Maoyi's last work was "Suyuan", which is highly evaluated and also very sadistic. Another of his most famous works is The King's Man.
The work "Loreak" (Flower) selected by the Spanish delegation is relatively niche. The heroine Anna inexplicably receives a bouquet of flowers every weekend. Every time the flowers are delivered to her home on time and quietly...
Speaking of which, the Swedish delegation has already entered early with the super seeded player "Cold Branches and Birds". All the members of the delegation painted zombie faces, and the mechanical and repetitive body movements seemed to mock the rhythm of modern urban life, but director Roy Anderson told us one witty and interesting story after another with such an iconic style.
Later, we welcomed the Swiss delegation, and their selection was very bold, it was a documentary - "The Iraqi Odyssey". The film mainly records the rise and fall of the samir family of filmmakers who immigrated to Switzerland, focusing on the images of the family of the iraq war that was repeated at that time.

I don't know if it is because most of the films are ready to apply for the main Oscar awards, representing the British Empire to compete for foreign language films, is a relatively low-profile literary film "Under the Milk Tree". The film is based on the welsh poet Dylan Thomas's masterpiece of the same name, and it is worth mentioning that the last attempt to adapt the film was unsuccessful, and the protagonists at that time were still Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Below is the Uruguayan delegation, which is "Moonless Night". At present, there is not much information, and the only certainty is that this is a cartoon.
