Chapter 1433 1433 Applause

Sitting in the cinema again to watch "Death Convict's Walk", Hugo has more feelings. Why does this film get so many praises, but it is still some distance from the classics?

There are two reasons, one is that the layout is too small, and Tim's slightly delicate and procrastinating rhythm makes the whole movie a little dull; Giving a film some small details—even parts that the audience can’t see and don’t pay special attention to—is precisely the key to giving a film more meaning, more artistry.

Sure enough, the director's job is not that simple. Although Hugo can tell a reason, but really let him roll up his sleeves, he can't find a solution. He can be sure that the "Death Convict Walk" directed by him is estimated to be a long time. Chaos, far inferior to Tim's work.

Although there has never been a shortage of geniuses in this world, there are many people who are directors, screenwriters, and actors; but overall, there are still too few geniuses, and there are specializations in the arts. From Hugo's point of view, the work of being an actor and a singer has consumed almost all of his energy, and he has not even thought about the screenwriting work for a long time. After "Before Sunrise", he did not write the script again at all. idea.

Therefore, although "Death Ramble" is still somewhat insufficient, it does not affect Hugo's admiration for Tim in the slightest.

When the movie ended, there was a dead silence in the entire auditorium, and no one spoke, which made Tim feel a little uneasy. The recognition that "Death Walker" has achieved in the United States is one thing, but this is Berlin - the solemn and severe Berlin, Tim is still uneasy.

Hugo was very calm, not because he had a plan, but because he knew how violent the ending of the "Death Ramble" story would have on every audience, even himself, seeing this ending again, was heartbroken. The tumbling is still difficult to calm down. And what about the Germans?

As the young man at the door said before entering, Germany is against the death penalty.

Germany started promoting the abolition of the death penalty by West Germany as early as 1949, when it was still in the recovery period of the Second World War. There were still many spies left in both East and West Germany, and spies were executed every year, but even so, West Germany Still began to promote the abolition of the death penalty, which was officially abolished in 1952 after repeated repetitions. But after that, many spies were still secretly put to death in both East and West Germany, and most of the death certificates were heart failure. It was really until 1987 that both East and West Germany officially abolished the death penalty.

Therefore, witnessing the last scene of "Death Ramble" and seeing Matthew being executed with his own eyes has a huge impact on every audience. The wave is even far greater than that of the United States. Witnessing the disappearance of a life has a violent impact on the audience's outlook on life and values. It is difficult for German audiences to immediately accept such a picture from various aspects, such as mental and physical.

Sure enough, after the silence lasted for about thirty seconds, someone finally couldn't help it, and he started shouting, but the other party was shouting in German, and Hugo didn't understand it, so he turned to look at Tim. Mu said with a look of embarrassment, "Foul language." This...

Because he didn't understand, Hugo didn't know whether the other party was cursing the movie too bad or what, but listening to the audience swearing at the movie theater was the first time for Hugo, he didn't expect such a thing at all. situation. But things started to get out of control gradually. More and more people stood up and pointed at the big screen and yelled at them. Although they were all standing in place and had no tendency to be violent, the surging voice and harsh words still made the scene It looks like a mess.

Hugo, Tim and others were a little overwhelmed. Although they were also waiting for the audience's reaction, they didn't expect such a situation to come.

Hugo turned his head, looked at the excited audience, and strongly wondered if they might pounce at any moment and tear themselves to shreds—or Tim.

Hugo has been in the entertainment industry for several years, but he has never faced such a scene. He has heard stories of some audience members leaving the stage in anger halfway through the movie. At the movie theater, he yelled at him to vent his dissatisfaction, but he never really experienced it. At this time, looking at the agitated faces in front of me, it was like half of the ferocious masks in hell, roaring fiercely in the slowly lit projection hall, the lights above the head were clearly turning on, but the rich darkness did not Dissipated, but it was ignited like a flame, turning the entire scene into purgatory - everyone became struggling and suffering here.

It was a real eye-opener for Hugo, but at the same time he didn't know how to deal with it - most importantly, he couldn't hear the audience at all.

At this moment, a voice in the corner shouted loudly in English, "Against the death penalty!" Then a group of people around him raised their right hands and shouted in unison, "Against the death penalty!" The originally scattered shouts gradually twisted into A rope, along with the powerful extension of the right hand, vibrated heroically.

This small group of people was still quite powerful, and Hugo couldn't help but cast his gaze. In the dim light, he saw similar familiar faces, which seemed to be the group of young people he met at the door just before entering the arena. Human-face blindness Hugo can't be 100% sure either.

However, what is certain is that they unswervingly shouted "oppose the death penalty", and that clear voice gradually attracted everyone's attention. Their shouts got louder and louder, and then the other audience members also cast their eyes and joined in the shouting, "Oppose the death penalty! Oppose the death penalty!"

In the blink of an eye, more than a third of the audience raised their right hands and shouted loudly in English in unison. The momentum gradually subsided the chaos on the scene, and the fierce and imminent scene just now was finally brought under control. But now we have to face another question: This uniform cry is not like solidarity, but criticism. Are they condemning the fact that the United States has not completely abolished the death penalty?

This scene is going to be dangerous again.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining two-thirds of the audience also stood up one after another, and then threw their hands together, the loud applause suddenly surged, like a surging sea of ​​clouds, jumping and churning in sight, Gradually covering the entire auditorium, the expressions on the audience's faces could not be seen clearly, but the enthusiastic applause clearly expressed the positive energy in their hearts, which made Hugo and Tim feel a little relieved, and the two exchanged a sight.

Hugo knew, at least this showed that most audiences still liked the work "Death Ramble", and Tim's impartial and neutral perspective was also recognized by German audiences. This is good news for them.

The hot applause at the scene gradually reached a peak, which made other audience members who were chanting slogans also put down their right hands one after another, stopped shouting, and applauded together.

The applause of the mountain and tsunami swept like a tsunami.

It turns out that the audience's excitement is not because the movie is too bad, but because it is too sensitive to the final picture. Tim really presents the process of executing the execution, which is really too cruel, even with the brutal murder of Matthew and his companions The truth picture of the process still cannot shake the firmness of the German audience.

The same picture awakened people's deep thinking in the United States, but awakened people's protests in Germany. This is not only the charm of the film, but also the cultural difference.

This is also one of the charms of the festival, which makes people feel the exchange of cultures from all over the world. If nothing else, just from this point of view, Hugo felt that the Berlin Film Festival was a more interesting choice than the Golden Globe Awards, and this was also a new experience in Hugo's career as an actor: it turned out that the audience in Berlin appreciates movies this way.

Amidst the applause, Werner reappeared and invited the crew of "Death Ramble" to come forward, not only to accept the audience's praise, but also to accept questions about the film from the scene.

Unexpectedly and logically, it was Tim who got the most questions. Relatively speaking, the two actors, Hugo and Susan, were much more relaxed. The audience was very interested in Tim's creative ideas, especially the many views on the current attitude of the United States on the death penalty. In fact, this is also Tim's original intention to film "Death Ramble", which made him talk freely and enjoy himself.

Of course, as the most shining star of this year's Berlin Film Festival, there are still many questions for Hugo, especially Hugo's decision to come to Berlin at the last minute to participate in the promotion, which makes many German audiences very satisfied. This also made the entire interview process lively.

After the premiere was over, watching the audience and the media leave one after another, Tim had time to talk to Hugo, "You and Ilya... were you okay just now?" Tim was still a little worried, the Hugo he was familiar with It's not what it looked like just now. Obviously, Hugo and Ilya don't get along very well.

"It's okay, what's the matter?" Hugo didn't think much about it. He and Ilya didn't have any personal grudges, it was just his personal preference. Anyway, he and Ilya won't have any intersection in the future, so he didn't have anything at all. do not worry.

Tim looked at Hugo seriously, noticed the sincerity in Hugo's eyes, and was relieved, "Actually, I was a little surprised when Ilya offered to meet you, but I wanted to introduce to you. It's good for a while. Ilya probably sees the feeling of Brando in your youth in you."

Hugo didn't know there was such a reason behind it, but as if Hugo became friends with Paul Newman and Gregory Pike, Ilya didn't seem to be that far away, he nodded slightly. Chin, said solemnly, "I always thought I was more like Paul."

Unlike when he faced Elijah just now, Hugo's words seemed a lot easier at this time, and Tim laughed when he heard it, "I think Paul will like your words very much."
