MTL - Movie Master-Chapter 1000 top seed

As the box office bomb of this summer, there is basically no suspense that "Fury Road" won the 2006 year-end box office champion. Now people are more concerned about whether this movie can surpass "Titanic" and become the first movie in film history. The new box office champion. Especially after entering October, the entire film market is generally sluggish, and almost no work can set off a wave of holiday movies in terms of topics, which makes the discussion of "Fury Road" always remain high. The seemingly impossible height is becoming possible step by step.

In the downturn of this year's awards season, "Fury Road" has naturally entered people's field of vision. No one will forget the 96-point rating from the media, easily leading all the so far. Awards season works; and no one will forget the rave reviews from the audience, whether it is the first in IMDB film history, the outstanding performance of theater scores, or the box office data directly reflected by the popularity of the audience, it has undoubtedly created a record high. ; also no one will forget the frenzy of controversy caused by the film, from the confrontation of masculinity and feminism, to the interpretation of heroism and the pursuit of freedom, the depth of core and the height of thought are top-notch... Most importantly, Wasteland The grand pattern and majestic momentum of the doomsday once again fully demonstrated Lance's overall view from the small to the big.

It's no surprise that "Fury Road" has become one of the biggest forces of award season.

In early December, Michael Katenbach, a professional film critic for Variety magazine, wrote another film review, reawakening people's memories of "Fury Road" that hadn't fully cooled.

"Not long ago, I accidentally re-watched Kurosawa's 'Ran' in an art theater. This work, which was released in 1985, is still a rare classic. Kurosawa presented it with his unique perspective. Showing the magnificence and sadness of an era, the whole work combines Shakespeare-style poetry, ancient Greek tragedy and oriental reincarnation style. It is soul-stirring and has a profound aftertaste. Elaborate composition, splashed ink color, grand mirror operation and calm performance It integrates well, and vividly interprets the loneliness and frustration brought about by the collision of firm belief and the confusion of the times. There is no doubt that this is the masterpiece of Akira Kurosawa, a film master. The precipitation of time cannot obliterate its brilliance, but only make it become brighter.

This 'random' reminds me of 'fury road', of course, these are two completely different works, the artistic value of 'random' has withstood the test of time, while 'fury road' is downright It is a commercial work, but it is precisely the aura of this commercial quality that makes this work a masterpiece enough to be recorded in history.

After entering the 21st century, times are changing rapidly, and the first thing that bears the brunt is undoubtedly the emergence of the Internet age. The Internet has narrowed the distance between the world and accelerated the pace of life, but erected an invisible wall invisibly. The distance between them is gradually expanding, and the invisible indifference is changing the ideology of the entire society; at the same time, the rise of human rights and humanity has become the trend of the times, the rise of feminism, the persistence of patriarchy, disputes over racial discrimination, The debate on **** rights, the fight for the rights of the disabled, the awakening of individuals and the solidarity of groups have begun to make more voices, and society has gradually become more diverse. The increase in controversy does not mean that society is regressing, on the contrary, it is a progress of society .

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the changes in the new century. The process of global integration, the threat of the greenhouse effect, the disputes caused by nuclear/weapons, the crisis of excessive consumption of resources, the hazards of environmental pollution...all of them indicate that this is a A new era, even if it is only 1999, it is also a distant past.

The emergence of 'Road of Fury' is a product of this era.

The blurring of moral standards brought about by social indifference has turned Rashomon's worries into reality; the serious pollution caused by over-exploitation of resources, and the end of the wasteland are looming in front of us bit by bit; The strong rise of the 21st century, the emergence of special groups, everything is changing the shape and mode of society...'Fury Road' presents the peculiar deformity and weirdness of the 21st century, combining all positive factors and negative factors The effects are all magnified a hundred times or a thousand times, thus forming a bizarre fantasy world.

"Chaos" reflects the essence of the Warring States Period; while "Fury Road" builds the future of the new century. But 'Road of Fury' has achieved a goal that 'Chaos' failed to achieve.

This movie tells an epic story with a profound aftertaste and a majestic momentum in a simple, crude, hearty, and bursting way. Stripped of the framework of the artwork, Strelo created a colorful carnival with colorful colors, magnificent composition, sharp editing, distinctive characters, and fancy mirroring. The core of pursuing freedom and insisting on the self is more It is pervasive and deafening throughout, allowing the audience to enter that magical and weird world effortlessly while enjoying a visual feast. Every time watching a movie is a full-blown adrenaline enjoyment.

This commercial characteristic can be understood as the core of the Internet era in the 21st century—the rise of fast food culture, the accelerated pace of life, the complexity of emerging industries, etc., all contain this characteristic. But what is commendable is that Strelo has endowed this quality with the brilliance that has withstood the test of time: whether it is the shooting selection of on-site special effects, or the return to the original/original action design, or it is shocking in any era. Image style.

Traveling to the past, looking forward to the future, and based on the present, "Fury Road" has completed an impossible task.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people. People often use this sentence to describe the huge difference in reviews and opinions, but in response to the work of "Fury Road", it has achieved its classic status, and different people will see completely different messages from this film- This is also the fundamental reason why the controversy about the movie has never dissipated. Everyone can interpret what they want to see from the movie. Such a rich connotation, simple but profound, straightforward but delicate, seems to be a commercial film, but in fact it is the pinnacle of art.

After "Sin City" was released, Strelow's crime trilogy revealed its true colors. At that time, some people were discussing whether the emerging director could be called a "master". I'm taking this with a grain of salt, not because the crime trilogy isn't good enough, but because a true master needs more testing. But now, I can't help thinking about a deeper question: Is Strehlow already out of the ranks of the masters and becoming a figure comparable to Akira Kurosawa and comparable to Stanley Kubrick? Movie master.

Maybe, maybe not.

But at least, this question has appeared before my eyes, and I believe that time will give me the answer. I can put the idea of ​​'sure' here for now. "

As the most authoritative and professional magazine in the industry, the influence of "Variety Show" is undoubtedly far-reaching. Every professional who can write film reviews for it also has enough status in the circle, and every film review that can be published It has been recognized by the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief and other professional teams. In short, the articles in "Variety" magazine are full of weight.

People have tired of the praise for "Fury Road," but Michael's review made waves again. While the film has been acclaimed, despite its momentum, and despite the buzz of awards season that has been around since July, it's only at this stage that people really realize that "Fury Road" isn't just a It is not just a commercial film, but a work that has the qualifications to be recorded in history and become a classic. Many people compared it with "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings 3", and then found that "Fury Road" is definitely worse than it.

Not only "Variety" magazine, but also "Hollywood Reporter" also gave similar affirmation. After experiencing the downturn and chaos last year, Mick Lasalle believes that the comprehensive strength of "Fury Road" is unmatched. Enemy~www.novelbuddy.com~ Even the overall performance has been affirmed from all sides. From any angle, this work is the number one hit in this year's awards season.

After entering December, works such as "Dream Girl", "When Happiness Knocks at the Door", "Scandal Chronicle", "Pan's Labyrinth" and other works successively began to exert their strength, and the awards season finally began to be lively, especially "Pan "The Labyrinth of the Gods" aroused a frenzy of praise, with a score of 98 points in the media's comprehensive review, which unbelievably surpassed "Fury Road" and became the film with the highest rating in the awards season so far, becoming the most powerful contender for the best film of the year Or, even though it's a Spanish-language movie.

In the battle for the best foreign language film, the dominance of the German film "Eavesdropping" has been severely tested. Both are also widely considered strong contenders for Best Picture nominations.

But even so, these works still haven't been able to keep up with the pace of "Fury Road". It seems that after entering December, the upsurge of the awards season has finally exploded with enough energy to release all the previously suppressed enthusiasm. Compared with "Tiantian Tower", compared with "The Departed Walker", and compared with "Little Miss Sunshine", the topicality and discussion of "Fury Road" undoubtedly occupy an absolute advantage, sweeping the The popularity and reputation of the entire awards season; and the brilliant achievements of this work in the commercial box office have made the attention of the awards season skyrocket, and in a trance, people have returned to 1997 and 2003 again.

Unknowingly, Chaos Films has become the biggest competitor of Warner Bros. this year's awards season. "Fury Road" stood out in the tepid atmosphere, wearing the crown of "Top Seed" and leading strongly !
