Chapter 1432 1432 Art Morality

Facing the flood of attacks from the reporters, Hugo was quite a master. With a wave of his hand, he would dissolve the attack and heat up the atmosphere at the scene, which made the interview session unable to end for a long time—whether it was a reporter or a reporter. Fans were reluctant to let Hugo leave. The staff reminded Werner of the time three times before and after. Finally, the originally scheduled five-minute interview lasted nearly twenty-five minutes.

After Hugo and Werner said goodbye, he didn't have time to say hello to the others, so he trotted all the way to the screening room. The four bodyguards, Joseph, Samora, and others who were waiting in the background saw Hugo's figure and cheered. The ground ran after him, and after watching Hugo enter the screening room, Joseph and his group stopped - they would go to the special lounge to wait for the movie screening to end.

Hugo walked into the screening hall and saw that the entire hall was full, and then Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and others stood in the open space in front, gathering in twos and threes to chat. Seeing the figure of Hugo coming in, the applause sounded one after another, and then it became one piece, shaking the entire auditorium like thunder. This vigorous applause made Hugo really feel the enthusiasm and madness of the audience of the film festival. .

"Man, you're late, I almost thought you wouldn't show up today." Tim was the first to greet him and gave Hugo a big hug. Before Hugo could answer, Tim pulled the rain Guo walked forward, "Come, come, I'll introduce you to a friend."

The first thing that entered Hugo's line of sight was a cane, and then looking up along the cane, he saw an old-fashioned gentleman wearing a regular white shirt and black suit, or even the most formal three-piece suit. The already curved back can't hide the uprightness and perseverance in his bones.

Since the light in the cinema is not bright, the wrinkles on the old man's face reflect a lot of shadows, making it difficult to see his facial features, and can only vaguely see about half of it. Hugo was searching for information in his mind, the old man who could be "friends" by Tim, and was invited to the Berlin Film Festival, the answer was ready to come out...

"Sir, let me introduce to you, this is Hugo-Lancaster, whom I had a great time working with during this shoot." Tim introduced to the other party with a smile, then turned his head to look at Hugo , "Hugo, this is Mr. Kazan."

The old man in front of him moved very slowly, slowly raised his chin, and looked at Hugo's eyes carefully, as if he wanted to find out something from Hugo's eyes. Those turbid eyes were hidden by the long eyebrows. And under the messy eyelashes, Hugo couldn't see clearly at all. He only felt that he was being looked at, but he couldn't figure out the other side. The old man's eyes slowly fell, and he carefully and carefully looked at Hugo. The line of sight that was not covered by it was like a laser beam, trying to study Hugo inside and out.

This kind of sight made Hugo feel very uncomfortable, not only was he awkward all over his body, but it was more like he was completely stripped and stood in place to be scrutinized. It's like accepting acceptance in "Schindler's List". Judgmental Jews.

"Sir, it's nice to meet you." Hugo interrupted the old man's scrutiny, took a small step forward, stretched out his right hand, and looked at the old man with a smile.

This action was obviously beyond the old man's expectations. He had to raise his head and look into Hugo's eyes again, pondering carefully, as if he wanted to explore his inner secret from Hugo's sight, but He had no intention of raising his right hand at all, but just hung Hugo's right hand in the air.

But Hugo didn't mind, he just kept smiling, keeping his movements, motionless, his smile was calm and comfortable, not embarrassed or stiff at all, just with a kind smile, looking directly at the old man without any fear. Eyes, boldly accept the baptism of gaze.

For a while, the atmosphere froze in place.

When it comes to the greatest directors in film history, almost everyone will have a different answer, from the slightly older John Ford, William Wyler, Billy Wilder. . Wilder), to the more recent Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Clint Eastwood, to the modern Paul Thomas Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, who have not been recognized by awards for a lifetime but created miracles of genre films...

Among the list of many directors, Ilya Kazan is also a name that cannot be ignored. As a director, he has cultivated famous actors such as Marlon Brando, James Dean, Warren Beatty and so on. Works such as "Desire. A Streetcar Named Hope", "East of Eden", and "Wharf" have gone down in history.

Ilya's greatest contribution to the film process is that he highly respects Methodist acting. He not only introduced this performance method from the former Soviet Union to the United States, but also carried it forward. Until 2014, Methodist was the most important in the world. the acting faction.

But behind the countless brilliance of Elijah, there is a black history that everyone else is ashamed of.

Turkish-born Greek identity is one of his important labels, and he briefly joined the Communist Party in the 1930s. Produce. The party, later opted to secede because of dissatisfaction with Stalinism. In the 1950s, Ilya became an important coordinate of the Hollywood political "blacklist" event in the United States. During the McCarthyism period, he took a **** attitude, testified for members in the House Un-American Behavior Investigation, and exposed the behavior of others. The results included orders including: Liberal directors and screenwriters such as Charlie Chaplin and Orson Welles were forced to flee overseas, and his career reached its peak after that.

Even in the late 1960s, Ilya withdrew from the show business, and the name of betraying a friend was still with him. He always refused to apologize for the blacklist incident, and he did not think he was guilty. This behavior made him even more controversial in Hollywood. In 1999, the Oscar awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to Ilya-he won the Oscar nomination for best director five times and won two golden statuettes. At the awards ceremony that night, Some people applaud and some people applaud.

This year, the 46th Berlin Film Festival will present Ilya Kazan and Jack Lemmon with lifetime achievement awards, so Ilya, who is 85 years old, appeared in Berlin.

As for art, in fact, many people insist that art belongs to art, and character belongs to character, just like Roman Polanski.

The illustrious French director, who was charged in 1977 for being strong. After raped a thirteen-year-old girl and was arrested in California, Roman spent 42 days defending, and the judge finally hesitated. But just before further legal proceedings began, he fled the United States and settled in Paris, where he avoided prison but never set foot on American soil again in his life.

In 2002, Roman's "The Pianist" won the Oscar for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Of course, Roman did not travel to the United States to accept the award.

That's the way the art world thinks, as if people can't go after artists like Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet -- because often artists are associated with alcohol and drugs. Goods, abuse. Words such as Jiao can be linked together, and a work is a work. Even if the character does not meet the moral standards, it still cannot deny the artistry of the work.

The same is true for Ilya. Even though he is notorious for betraying his friends, the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscars awarded Ilya the Lifetime Achievement Award based on his great artistic contribution.

Hugo knew what this meant, and he understood it, but he had a hard time accepting it, aside from the fact that Roman's matter had violated the law, even if Ilia's moral issue was simply, for betrayal, especially the betrayal that betrayed trust, rain. If it is difficult to express understanding, this is his bottom line.

Of course, many things are not that simple. Ilya had a historical background when he experienced the "blacklist" incident. Hugo didn't know anything about the environment at that time, the mentality at the time, and the situation at the time. He couldn't just subjectively Make a judgment and decide that Elijah is a bad person. But from an emotional point of view, Hugo is difficult to accept.

Therefore, when he realized that the other party was Ilya, Hugo did not exaggerately show disgust, but he was not too excited or too flattering, and just showed his courtesy. Especially when Ilya was looking at himself with that kind of critical scrutiny, Hugo not only did not shrink back, but took the initiative to attack, which is not very similar to Hugo's usual personality - if it was normal, it is estimated that Hugo would also feel A little embarrassed, and stood there to be baptized, but today is different.

Tim, Susan and others all looked at Hugo in surprise. They didn't expect Hugo to act like this; and Ilya didn't even plan to hold Hugo's right hand, which was even more surprising. , the scene stiffened for a while. This made Tim feel a little uneasy. He originally thought it was out of politeness, but also out of respect for Ilya-after all, Ilya personally came to support the "Death Ramble"-introduce the two people to know each other, but he didn't expect the situation now Can't handle it.

Just when Tim was about to open his mouth to resolve the embarrassment, Ilya raised her hand and touched Hugo's palm lightly, then put her hand down and tapped her chin slightly, "You look alright, barely a little bit. Malone's gesture."

It is not easy to get praise from Elijah, let alone comparing Hugo to Marlon Brando, which is absolutely rare.

However, Hugo showed a polite smile, put his right hand down naturally, and said without humility, "Thank you for your compliment, but I am obviously not Mr. Brando." This sentence made Elijah stunned. I couldn't help but look at Hugo, but Hugo looked away and said to Tim, "I think, the movie is about to start, and the protagonists of today should be the movie and the audience, so let's not be here. Steal the light of the protagonist."

Why does this atmosphere feel a little strange?
