The winners of the 15th Asian Film Awards have been announced.
The best director award that everyone is more concerned about was won by Zhang Yimou. This time, Zhang Yimou received a total of eleven nominations for "One Second" and "On the Cliff".
Objectively speaking, Zhang Yimou is a "national teacher" level director in the Chinese film industry, and the high-quality films in his career continue to be exported. 34 years ago, with his debut film "Red Sorghum", he succeeded in representing China to impact the Golden Bear Award at the International Film Festival, showing the artistic charm of Chinese cinema to the world.
As the representative figure of the fifth generation of Directors in China, Zhang Yimou, who has been in the industry for more than 40 years and is now 71 years old, is still active in the film industry, which is indeed worthy of respect.
Some netizens commented that in the embryonic stage of domestic film ecology, Zhang Yimou has reached the realm of ear shun in the scolding of criticism. He chose to bear the insults of ignorance with silence and unleash his strength with actions.
When receiving the award, Zhang Yimou delivered a speech through video telephony: "One Second" is my first work, which has planted a seed of love in my heart, and I will continue to work hard to grow with my seeds.
A seventy-year-old man did not choose the comfortable life he had, but actively explored new elements and boundaries of Chinese cinema. This is the most powerful response to "incorruptible and old, still able to eat or not".
In addition, the best actor and actress of this Asian Film Award was won by Liu Yaren, the actor of "Silent", and You Aoi, the heroine of "The Spy's Wife".
When the list of winners was published online, some netizens commented on it deeply uncomfortable. Like what:
Sorry, read that wrong.
I thought yes, sorry.
See teacher Cang's raised hand.
I was shocked to see it, and I thought to myself, what is the scale of this award so large. Look again, sorry, wrong.
I'm sorry, but I miss Teacher Cang so much that I read it wrong.
Whether these comments can be understood as an ignorance. Since you have already read it wrong, and you know why you are wrong because of it, why do you have to comment on it with a twenty-year-old meme.
A netizen shot back that it was really a good anti-war film, but it was a pity that it was disgusted by the low energy of these yellow wastes.
Compared with the movie, the brain circuits and three views of some netizens are even more shocking to me.
Such a good anti-war film should not be treated this way.
Just because the heroine's name is somewhat similar to the heroine of another field, some people use it to ridicule, is it to prove that they are knowledgeable and experienced?
Is such a proof powerful?
I remember that a passage says that a person's eyes are dirty, and everything he sees is filthy; a person's heart and eyes are crooked, and nothing can be corrected.
Here, the author popularizes science again.
There is no need to doubt whether Aoi Yu and another Aoi are one person, the answer is quite certain.
In Japan, Cangjing is a surname, which is a concept with the Chinese single surname Zhang Wang Li Zhao Liu and the compound surname Ouyang Xiahou Huangfu.
With preconceived notions, many people see the three words "Cangjing You" for the first time, and they will immediately think of another Cangjing, which is not completely resentful of them.
After all, the popularity and influence of another cangjing in Asia and even the world is too great.
It also shows that Japanese scrap movies are too toxic to them. Even if Lao Cang has withdrawn from the industrial circle, his influence is still not reduced.
In the early years, Aoi Yu also had some slightly larger film and television plots, but they were all literary and artistic drama theme films.
Compared to another well, it is not a "weight class" at all.
Let's talk about the "Spy Couple" starring Yu Aoi, which is set on the eve of the outbreak of the Pacific War and is an anti-war movie.
The main story is that a businessman named Yusaku Fukuhara bravely accepts the task of stopping the war with his wife Satoko played by Yu Aoi, and the film is very exciting.
Beiqing Daily once commented:
In the film, the audience sees the most direct and unambiguous expression of anti-war, not reflecting on the defeat but reflecting on the war, and the first driving force that prompts the characters to act is righteous indignation.
By chance, the male protagonist Yusaku Fukuhara and his nephew Takemomo saw the evil of the Japanese Kwantung Army conducting bacterial experiments in tohoku. He wanted to publicize this to the whole world, hoping that the passive and sluggish United States would enter the war as soon as possible and stop and end the atrocities committed by the Japanese army as soon as possible.
If you do this, Japan will lose, and you will become a traitor to the country.
I am a cosmopolitan, my allegiance is not to a country, but to universalism, and I cannot tolerate injustice.
What you say about 'justice' will kill thousands of my countrymen and I will be insulted as a spy's wife. What about our happiness.
What if happiness is based on injustice, my fellow citizens have committed heinous crimes in a distant country. I saw that if I was chosen by fate, I had to do something.
This is a wonderful dialogue between businessman Yusaku Fukuhara and his wife Satoko in the movie, and it can also be said to be the most resonant scene in the whole movie.
