Last week's Marché du Film seemed to be shrouded in a faint fog. Several high-profile new films, like dancers groping in the fog, although the dance steps are fluttering, it is difficult to leave a deep imprint in the hearts of the audience. At the same time, those old films that have already been released are like old wine, the older they get, the more fragrant they become, and they firmly occupy a place at the box office.
This contrast makes people wonder: in this era of information explosion and entertainment diversification, what are audiences looking for? Is it gorgeous special effects, dazzling stars, or stories that can touch the heart and resonate?
The answer seems to be on the horizon. Although there is no shortage of big productions and big investments in this week's new films, they seem to be stretched thin in terms of content and emotion. In contrast, those niche films, although they lack the packaging and publicity of commercial blockbusters, are often able to touch the hearts of audiences with their sincere emotions and profound stories.
Take "Youth Diary" as an example, this film does not have a dazzling star lineup, nor does it have gorgeous special effects scenes, but it uses delicate brushstrokes to depict the pain and growth of youth. It reminds us of those youthful years, those dreams and pursuits. Such a movie may not be able to compete with blockbusters at the box office, but the imprint it leaves in the hearts of the audience cannot be measured by money.
At the same time, we should also see that non-theatrical films also have a value that cannot be ignored. "Let's Sing Karaoke!" shows us the power of friendship and the warmth of companionship, while "Problem Expert" guides us to think about the meaning and value of life. These films may not have the splendor of the big screen, but they have won the love and respect of the audience with their unique charm and depth.
In this warm and cold film market, we should perhaps cherish those works that can touch our hearts. Don't blindly pursue commercial blockbusters and star effects, but use your heart to discover those masterpieces hidden in the corner. Because only in this way can we truly feel the charm and value of the movie.
In addition, we should also encourage more filmmakers to devote themselves to the creation of niche films. Although niche films are facing problems such as lack of funds and difficulties in publicity, as long as we have confidence and determination, we will be able to create more excellent works. And these works will also shine with their unique light one day in the future.
In conclusion, I would like to say that film is not only a form of entertainment, but also a cultural and social phenomenon. It can reflect the style of an era and people's inner world. Therefore, we should look at movies with a more open and inclusive mind, and appreciate those different styles and genres. Only in this way can we truly understand the world and know ourselves better.
So, let's cheer for those works that are authentic and profound, and applaud those that can touch our hearts. In this world of cinema full of infinite possibilities, let's find the treasures that can nourish and enlighten our souls.
