Chapter 1435 1435 The Audience Is Boiling
The desolate Berlin Film Festival has become the focus of global attention overnight!
Hugo's appearance instantly detonated the enthusiasm of the entire film festival. The continuous influx of reporters toward Berlin reminded people of the wave of geese migration; before the press conference, more than 1,800 reporters competed for 200 films. The grand occasion of admission tickets was still talked about until Cannes in May; and at the press conference, 250 reporters crowded the scene, which made people suspect that the scene would be so crowded that it would not be possible. Not standing in groups for the interview, that scene has become an unforgettable scene in the history of the Berlin Film Festival; as many as 179 media have face-to-face with Hugo in 33 hours of segmented interviews They had a conversation, and it pushed the atmosphere of the film festival to its peak...
In the nearly half-century journey since the establishment of the Berlin Film Festival, it is the first time that such a passionate scene has been seen. Not only the news media, but also ordinary movie audiences are boiling up, making people clearly feel the rain today. The powerful appeal of the fruit, this is the real superstar energy!
Rejecting the Golden Globe Award and choosing the Berlin Film Festival, this topic alone is enough to make people follow one after another, not to mention that it was Hugo who created such a topic - the darling of the world in the past two years, which also made Berlin It has easily become the hottest topic in the cold February.
If the gathering of media reporters still has the tendency of topic effect and breaking point mining, then the enthusiasm of movie audiences is the truly terrifying sight.
After the release of "Death Convict Walk", it was completely hard to find a ticket. Even if it was broadcast in multiple venues for 24 hours for the next two days, the supply was still in short supply. Every time a ticket was released, it would be quickly grabbed by the audience. And empty, which also made it impossible for many audiences to see Hugo's style at the Berlin Film Festival.
In desperation, the audience could only wait for the "Death Convict's Walk" to be officially released in Germany-in the end, the film's German box office topped the overseas market. Audiences can't leave empty-handed either, so that's boosting ticket sales for other movies as well.
According to statistics, the Berlin Film Festival in 1996 sold a total of 160,000 movie tickets, easily surpassing the competitors Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival, and became the best film festival in the world for ticket sales. This not only reflects The undivided support of the German audience for the Berlin Film Festival also once again showed Hugo's strong box office appeal in Europe.
Although it is said that the overseas distribution rights trading market of Berlin Film Festival entries has always been unsatisfactory due to the unfamiliar and unfamiliar themes of films, and it is completely inferior to Cannes and Venice, the enthusiasm and support of the audience in Berlin is unique. This is also the Berlin Film Festival. An important reason for standing up for many years.
However, this time, 160,000 movie tickets were sold in one go, which not only broke the record of audience attendance at the festival, but also easily broke the Cannes Film Festival where "only" 110,000 spectators entered last year. The data is terrifying. Really shocking.
All these brilliance have made the 46th Berlin Film Festival go down in history. Perhaps this is not a film festival with the most classic films, and perhaps this is not a film festival with the highest quality participating films. Even the number of media and the number of audience Records will be constantly refreshed in the future, but this film festival has made the whole world pay attention to Berlin. Before this kind of treatment, only Cannes and Venice could get it. Now Berlin also enjoys the beauty and harmony under the spotlight. happiness.
This year's Berlin Film Festival, not only Hugo attracted countless attention, "death row walk" has also become the focus of the topic.
The Berlin Film Festival's official publication, "The Screening," gave it a three-point high rating out of four out of four, currently behind "Sense and Sensibility" and "Classroom Love" (Lust. Och.*** ring. Stor)", temporarily ranking third!
"It's a thoughtful film, and Robbins' shot throws up a sad and heavy topic, like a bitter tear on your thigh, but doesn't tell you what's in it, just stays After a long thought. If this doesn't sound entertaining, you're right. It's clearly not a light-hearted piece of entertainment, it has more meaning: it uses a controversial topic to introduce The core idea of a cosmic tragedy, the meaning of life is in whose hands?
The performances of both actors are wonderful. Sarandon's performance is delicate and moving, and there is a divine light in her tearful eyes. The intricacies and struggles displayed in her are not only the concerns of the clergy, but also every day. The controversies that an ordinary person would inevitably face, are all made real and believable because of Sarandon.
And Lancaster's splendid performance made this topic more meaningful and poetic. The toughness, vulnerability, fear, worry, pain, and struggle between gestures made the meaning of the death penalty complicated. The obscure light revealed in the helpless eyes made the tongue of the Avengers bitter, and the anger of every moviegoer was successfully provoked by Lancaster at the last moment, enough to make the soul tremble. . Undoubtedly, this is the most infectious and powerful performance of Lancaster's career! "

Veteran British film magazine Sight and Sound gave it a high score of 3.2, on par with Sense and Sensibility, "a complex work of art with many possibilities. Sarandon and Lancaster's The performance, guided by Robbins, asks a question that doesn't provide an answer, making 'Death Walk' a play of extraordinary imagination."
Germany's "Berliner. Morgenpost" commented, "A quiet, courageous play, Lancaster's performance is quiet and powerful, Sarandon's performance is struggling and brilliant, in the process of watching the film. Quietly causing shock!" The three-point rating is not only the highest score, but also their highest score at this year's Berlin Film Festival.
The American "Times" also arrived in Berlin, and made an evaluation at the first time, "This is a measure of complexity, Lancaster and Sarandon both showed the struggle of their souls in the performance. And the struggle, through the performances of these two actors, at the last moment of the movie, the surging emotions directly annihilated us." The evaluation of 2.8 points is still very good.
