When watching "Under the White Sun", I once remembered the afternoon when I watched "The True Story of the Crazy Man" n years ago, 86 years of movies, how many years have passed, Er Dongsheng has changed from an actor to a director, and now he is the chairman of the Academy Awards.
Er Dongsheng is the producer of "Under the White Sun", and in recent years, he has supervised the production of many works by young directors, all of which are realistic themes. He came to the mainland to participate in variety shows, and the selected actors can also really enable them to act after the variety show ends. The support for the younger generations is just as much as the care for the seniors for him.
"The True Story of the Crazy Guy" is Er Dongsheng's first work as a director. The starring role is Tony Leung, and his debut appearance resembles Jiang David. In 87, Er Dongsheng cooperated with Tony Leung again in "People's Heroes", and asked Tony Leung to cooperate with Dillon, Guanguan and Guanqing, to meet the needs of some audiences.
Dillon and Jiang David, after the former good brothers drifted apart, how many filmmakers and fans were uneasy. At TVB's 50th anniversary celebration in 2022, the organizer deliberately arranged for Dillon and Qin Pei to present the award to David Jiang, Dillon was full of emotion, but David Jiang never looked at him, and said afterwards that he went on stage to save face for his eldest brother. The reconciliation of the century, which everyone was looking forward to, failed to materialize.
At the 42nd Academy Awards in April 2024, Lin Xilei will open and present the award, and David Jiang will win the Best Supporting Actor Award. When he gave a speech on stage, not only his younger brother Er Dongsheng couldn't stop laughing excitedly, but also the audience stood up and applauded.
Jiang David joked that he always won awards in films produced or directed by his brother and brother. Subsequently, he thanked his wife Li Linlin and showed his love at the 50th wedding anniversary. The last sentence is in Mandarin to thank director Zhang Che, which was the starting point and golden age of his acting career. It can be seen that Jiang David really loves Zhang Che, so he can't let go of Dillon for not attending Zhang Che's funeral.
is also this year's Academy Awards, Tony Leung was named the best actor six times. is controversial, because no matter how good Tony Leung's acting skills are, the movie "Goldfinger" itself is not qualified. Some netizens said that Lin Baoyi should win the actor, those who said this are all following the trend and have never seen a movie, Lin Baoyi's role is not the actor at all, how can he win the actor.
I selfishly hope that Huang Zihua will win the actor, but I don't want to see anyone attack Tony Leung with this.
Speaking of "Under the White Sun", reporter Xiaoqi pretended to be the granddaughter of the elderly and entered the disabled home "Caiqiao Home" to collect evidence of abuse of residents in the home, looking for the cruel truth under the sun.
The first half of the film is tightly paced, the second half is slightly scattered and sensational, and always uses excessive music to set off the plot, which is not mature enough.
The idea of the film is good:
There's nothing new under the sun, but we can't always stay out of it.
Don't feel guilty about doing the right thing.
Pay attention to society, pay attention to the bottom, and pay attention to the weak who can't speak out. In fact, Huang Zihua's "Bad Tongue Lawyer" has also done it, but the form is more understandable, not as literary as "Under the White Sun". But the benefits of popularity are obvious, everyone can immediately resonate strongly when they see it, and the social discussion is high enough. In contrast, the completion of "The Bad Tongue Lawyer" is better, which makes me cry out for Huang Zihua again. Of course Zihua God didn't care, but he deserved it.
In "Under the White Sun", Jiang David's performance is the most moving. There is something familiar in the wrinkles on the skin and the spots in the eyes of the elderly Jiang David, which I have seen in a real old people's home, which is nostalgia for life. Best Supporting Actor, well deserved.
The protagonist of "Under the White Sun" is a reporter, and compared with previous news-themed film and television works, the role of reporters is no longer the same.
Now that movies sing an elegy for the news, who will sing an elegy for movies in the future?
The attention of this year's Academy Awards is not high, and the heat has passed. But filmmakers never die, they just fade away.
