1st Prize: "Seven Samurai"
The first place is "Seven Samurai" is really unexpected, but it doesn't make sense. "Seven Samurai" is one of the masterpieces of the master Akira Kurosawa and occupies an important position in the history of world cinema. On Douban, the number of people who have marked the film has reached 90,000, and the rating is as high as 9.2 points. Ranked 123rd on Douban Movies.
We can get a glimpse of how popular it is from some of the audience's comments:
Second Prize: "The Man Who Stole the Bicycle"
The reason why the fan watched this film is still from the director Ang Lee, who once revealed in the book "Ten Years of Film Dreams" that he likes "The Man Who Stole the Bicycle". Here's an excerpt from Uncle An's feelings:
"I was moved to tears when I first watched The Bike Thief, and I've watched the film many times since. If I had to make this film, it would be a simple melodrama, but italian neorealist directors could elevate the genre to the level of social philosophy. It's unbelievable, they go beyond the drama itself. ”
The film won the 7th Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the time.
It also occupies an important place in the history of world cinema, it is a classic masterpiece of Italian neorealist cinema, and it is also the most prestigious film of director De Sica. The film's portrayal of the people at the bottom is quite in place, and it is extremely uncomfortable to see, like a stuck fish thorn. At the end, people burst into tears.
3rd Prize: Tokyo Story
"Tokyo Story" is one of Ozu Yasujiro's masterpieces, and it can be said that fans have to see one of the works. The line in the film "Tokyo has seen it, Atami has seen it, we can go home." "Impressive.
It is also an important work in the history of world cinema, and the evaluation on Douban is also very good, with a Douban score of 9.2 and a Douban ranking of 204th.
4th Prize: "Rashomon"
The first place is the work of director Akira Kurosawa, which is only the fourth, and there is another one. It seems that the film critics involved this time are particularly fond of Kurosawa Akira.
Based on the short story "In the Shinobu Bamboo" by the famous Japanese writer Ryunosuke Wasagawa, the film is the amazing work of Akira Kurosawa and has been hailed as one of the "10 most valuable films of all time". It entered the Douban Movie Ranking Top250, ranking 174th.
It won the Golden Lion Award in the main competition section at the 14th Venice Film Festival.
5th Place: Rules of the Game
The Rules of the Game is One of Renoir's most outstanding works and one of the best pre-war French films. But when it was first released in 1939, "Rules of the Game" was a fiasco both in critics and box office.
The film's original film was severely damaged during World War II. In 1959, after a complete restoration and editing, the film was re-released, and it was only after it received unanimous praise from audiences and critics that it had its rightful place in the history of cinema today.
6th Prize: "Masquerade"
Ingmar Bergman's masterpiece was also a turning point in his career. As we all know, Ang Lee is a fan of director Bergman. And "Masquerade" is his favorite one.
"I'm a fan of Bergman and his film 'Virgin Springs' changed my life. "Masquerade" was the first R-rated movie I saw, when I was just 18 years old in Taiwan, and this film excited me. I watched more of Bergman's films later, and Masquerade was one of my favorites. ”
7th Place: "Eight and a Half Parts"
Another classic of a master. The film is the epitome of all fellini's previous films and the source of all his subsequent films, telling the creative crisis and life crisis of a film director through a metaphorical "story".
The film won two awards at the 1964 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Costume Design (Black and White).
Fellini said of his film Eight and a Half: "I want to describe a life made up of countless labyrinths of torment and change. Man is like dabbling in the labyrinth of memories, dreams, and feelings, and daily life is also a labyrinth of events that are constantly entangled in memories, fantasies, feelings, past and present.
8th Place: "Four Hundred Blows"
Master Truffaut's semi-autobiographical work explores the life and inner world of a 13-year-old boy. It seems simple, but it is full of deep emotion. The display of youth is particularly in place.
The film won the Best Director Award at the 12th Cannes Film Festival.
9th Place: "Fancy Years"
Finally, the name of our director appeared, and it was our "sunglasses king" Wong Kar-wai. Not surprisingly, Wong Kar-wai's films are quite popular both at home and abroad. More than 200,000 people have seen "Fancy Years" on the Douban mark, ranking 157th in Douban movies.
Friends who have watched this film can't forget the charming appearance of Maggie Cheung wearing a cheongsam. And the question, "If you had one more ticket, would you come with me?" "It has also been gently left in the heart of the fan."
Super love Wong Kar Wai!
