China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 458 The silence is deafening! The movie that caused a sensation in Cannes!!

Especially when the teenager collapsed and killed his mother, the entire Cannes screening was silent!

There are many scenes of killing mothers in both domestic and foreign films. This kind of film that loses the bottom line of human ethics is a bottom line standard for artistic evaluation.

In "Confessions", the sudden murder of his mother by the young boy B made countless people at the scene gasp.

Fan Bingbing felt her heart skip a beat, although she was secretly happy in her heart, after all, the murderer killed his own mother.

But while cleaning, she felt terrified.

Did boy B’s mother do something wrong?

She didn't know the truth and when she found out her son was a murderer, she wanted to kill the child and then commit suicide to eliminate her sins.

Although it's a bit irrational, this is already the performance of a mother with very positive values.

And she was just killed by the flesh that fell off after ten months of pregnancy.

The silence was deafening.

Robert De Niro, chairman of the main competition jury, couldn't help but stand up. He clapped his hands but didn't take a photo.

This movie gave him a great spiritual shock.

The whole movie is full of stream of consciousness, and both the color tone and the emotional tone are filled with absolute gloom, depression, and emotionality. Even the focus of the picture has a sense of absolute emphasis, which is extremely inciting and cold, thus reflecting a dark atrocity.

But in addition to all these, there is a superficial layer of pleasure emerging in people's hearts!
There is no redundant and cumbersome rendering. The picture scroll is laid out in a straightforward manner and slowly unfolds. It is just like a documentary calmly telling what was done, when it was done, and what was thought at the time. It is simple and easy, just like taking something out of your pocket, until the blood infected with HIV was added to the milk...

The whole movie suddenly rises from its previous dullness!

It makes people feel emotional and obsessed!
Afterwards, the evil of boy B continued to deepen, killing his mother and completely subduing the entire scene.

He was broken, distressed, timid, yet vicious.

The interweaving of medium and long shots creates a sense of difference, and the background music is a slow-tempo piece, just like a MV of a song.

Smashing scattered drops of blood, mud and water,
It is shown in close-up over and over again.

The lingering atmosphere that seemed to be able to strangle the neck was gently lifted and diffused from the screen, enveloping a unique aura.

In the case of the mother's murder, the shot of the hacking to death was beautiful, with the slow-motion close-up depicting the path of the blood.

It makes people unable to help but bow down and exclaim!
But this is not the end, the movie continues.

The fragments of boy A also unfold his own painting at this moment.

Unlike boy B, boy A has stronger psychological quality. Teacher Wang's behavior did not affect his psychological activities at all. He got excellent grades and stayed in the class. It seemed that nothing had changed.

But his classmates began to exclude him.

The word "murderer" was written all over the book, densely and overwhelmingly.

Even in the children's QQ group, they are proud to bully the murderer. If the bullying is too severe, everyone will get reward points. The top three with the highest points can use the class funds to give themselves prizes.

The new teacher discovered this phenomenon and people speculated that someone had reported it to the teacher.

So Xu Meiyue, the only female classmate in the class who had never bullied Boy A, was quickly voted out by her classmates and was elected with a high vote!
Everyone thought that Xu Meiyue did it, so a large group of students surrounded them and used school bullying to force Boy A and Xu Meiyue to kneel together, forcing them to bow to each other and then kiss each other face to face.

Such a picture,

Fan Bingbing was completely lost. She felt that she could no longer tell whether these children were good or evil.

At least for this case, Xu Meiyue was just a passerby.

And now, she is also being bullied.

In the name of justice.

How sad and lamentable!

Afterwards, boy A took out the test results and told Xu Meiyue that he was not infected with HIV.

Xu Meiyue was not surprised either. From the very beginning, she did not believe what Teacher Wang Sen said, because someone who really wanted revenge would never reveal his or her entire plan so easily.

She thought the teacher just wanted them to think about life.

Afterwards, the photo of the boy and girl kissing went viral in the school. Faced with this bullying involving outsiders,

Boy A, who had not taken the incident seriously and had no reaction before, suddenly exploded. He cut his finger with a sharp knife, hit one of the leaders critically, making him kneel on the ground, and then smeared the blood evenly on his face.

Then, a male student who appeared more frequently was randomly selected.

A kiss came directly.

He threatened everyone that if they continued to bully, he would find someone to kiss with the tongue.

As soon as these words were spoken, the class fell silent.

Everyone was worried that they would be infected with AIDS, and the previous vigorous bullying disappeared in an instant.

And the boy and girl finally became lovers as they wished.

When the picture showed that the girl was also a follower of the girl who poisoned her parents, Fan Bingbing could no longer hold back.

"I go?"

Before this, Fan Bingbing felt sorry for the girl who was also bullied, but at this moment, Fan Bingbing just wanted to curse.

The two became lovers, and Xu Meiyue was actually amazed at the execution props made by the boy. In essence, these two people were the same kind of people.

It turns out that Xu Meiyue also wants to kill someone.

Beneath her beautiful appearance, she also hides a murderous heart.

He is their new teacher. Out of intimacy, he gave Xu Meiyue a nickname, Meidai.

It made her feel sick.

Her code of conduct has its own logic. She sympathizes with boy A and becomes his lover with him. She believes that everything about boy B killing his mother is the fault of the new teacher because he often visits their home and pursues him relentlessly.

Then she saw the new teacher and teacher Wang Sen having dinner together. Only then did she learn that the new teacher's weekly home visits were actually taught by teacher Wang.

No one reported the bullying of boy A, but the new teacher just assumed someone else.

Teacher Wang said she knew very well that this was useless and would encourage bullying, but she still wanted to do it.

When she said this, she smiled calmly.

"I just plan to drive them both crazy."

"But boy A is just too lonely and wants his mother to see him more often." Xu Meiyue said.

Teacher Wang continued to sneer.

Gave her a cold look.

The story of boy A begins to branch out into his family line. Accustomed to scientific research and innovation, he won a national award, but before he could attract his mother's attention, he was overshadowed by the poisoning case of a young girl.

Then he found out something.

Killing people gets attention.

At this moment, the entire logical motivation finally formed a closed loop.

"Just to attract attention." Xing Nana was speechless.

"In fact, most things in this world are born to seek attention." Ning Hao was in a complicated mood at the moment. Although he had read the script, the impact of the script and the clips shown in the film and television were completely different.

When reading the script, he kept laughing, because apart from the thriller, the rest was just the shock brought by the straightforward narration in the text, which the brain could digest. But when seeing the faces in the movie, Ning Hao suffered a greater shock in his senses than before!

Especially behind those crimes is the smiling face of a young boy who is looking forward to his mother's attention.

This kind of shock to the soul left Ning Hao speechless.

Then, everything about the previous murder scene flashed across the screen like a montage.
He needed a goon, so Junior B showed up.

But unfortunately, the police just classified this incident as an accident.

When boy B went crazy because he was worried that he might get AIDS.

Boy A, however, kept laughing because, since he was sick, he might be able to get a visit from his mother.

When these two contrasts appeared before everyone's eyes, many people at the scene just began to swallow their saliva and did not make any other movements.

You could hear a pin drop in the entire theater.

And the so-called Xu Meiyue became a tool for him to waste his time.

At this moment, the case of boy B killing his mother has caused a sensation on the entire Internet. Boy A said that he didn't understand why boy B would do such a thing, because when he chatted before, he always talked about his mother.

Xu Meiyue said, "Aren't you the same?"

So boy A went crazy and he wouldn't allow anyone to talk about his mother.

The same goes for couples.

So he picked up the trophy for the scientific research award and smashed it hard on the head of the girl who had been holding hands with him five minutes ago in the movie.

Then he tore apart the toys he had made for scientific research.

Tear her apart.

This explosive plot made many people hold their heads.

Nansun Shi turned to look at Johnnie To and said, "This movie is really fucking awesome. It has some shadows of Japanese and Korean movies. Even Hong Kong movies haven't been this explosive."

"No wonder Director Hou was chosen to film this. In Taiwan, this movie will not be banned. In Hong Kong, this movie will probably have to be carefully negotiated."

Johnnie To was also a little embarrassed.

"But given the situation of this film, it might be a bit difficult for it to win any mainstream awards at Cannes."

"Let's see if we can win a screenwriting award. It's shocking, but I don't think some of the judges will like this play very much." Shi Nansheng also sighed.

"But we cannot deny that this kind of film that focuses on certain social issues is itself a selection criterion for Cannes," said Johnnie To. "Although the film is a bit crazy, there seem to be very few films in the world that are about revenge for teenagers."

The movie continued, but everyone had different emotions.

The movie isn't over yet.
Finally, the fact that boy A was going to use a bomb to take everyone in the auditorium with him made many viewers feel nervous.
Fortunately, the bomb did not go off.

And Teacher Wang's phone call appeared again.

She had placed the bomb next to the mother of boy A.

Everything he wanted to do was done to his mother.

Like the thing about being blown to pieces.

What he cherished most became a corpse because of Teacher Wang's revenge, became the flames in the bombing, and became the sin of his life.

At the end of the film, Teacher Wang is looking at the boy A crying in front of him.

His eyes were indifferent.

"You can start living your life again now." She gently patted the child's face.

Then, a smile appeared on her face.

It made her look so terrifying.

"I was just kidding."

……

At this point, the entire film is complete.

But there was no applause or noise in the entire scene, only silence.

"Wow, Hou," Robert came over to shake hands with Hou Hsiao-hsien after two minutes. He opened his mouth and thought for a long time before sighing, "I don't know what to say for a moment. This is a film that will leave me silent after watching it."

"I will be silent too." Jude Law also said with a smile: "I thought you were going to bring your most classic emotional drama to Cannes, but I didn't expect it to be such a movie."

He looks fierce, but I'm still a little scared when I see this kind of movie.

Uma Thurman's blue eyes with blonde hair also showed a lot of fear. She had previously worked with Quentin in "Kill Bill", in which she played the most deadly female assassin. The film was full of blood and filled with all kinds of heinous bloody scenes. For this, she also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.

But this film still gave her enough impact.

Perhaps it is mainly because a large number of the actors in the film are played by children.

She couldn't help but admire this kind of movie that caused a sensory conflict with her consciousness.

Soon after the premiere.

Many film critics expressed their opinions on this film, which is highly anticipated by the Chinese.

Agence France-Presse was the first to publish an article, calling "Confessions" a gift from Hou Hsiao-hsien and Guan Ling to young people all over the world, and expressed regret that the film might not be released in mainland China.

“Bloody reality? Guan’s new screenplay movie caused all Cannes main competition judges to remain silent!”

That afternoon, the screenings of "Confessions" were sold out in France. Since Hou Hsiao-hsien had already accumulated some fans, and Guan Ling had been a leader in Cannes for several consecutive years, not only local Chinese audiences but also many local French people came to watch the movie.

After the movie, everyone was silent.

"This is a really good love movie. I have rarely seen such pure, sincere and fascinating love."

There are some funny people in France too.

The published reviews attracted many romantic lovers.

By the time they finished watching the movie, they were all numb.

"You say it's a love movie, but I wish you a life without love."

"I cried several times while watching the movie. No one is completely good, and no one is completely evil. Sympathy, disgust, horror and pleasure exploded together in the end, which was very shocking. The director made the dark and desperate plot so entertaining and interesting that it made my hair stand on end."

"Boundless sadness..."

"Perhaps the French Interior Minister should watch this movie. Last year, due to the worsening juvenile crime rate, he wanted to impose a curfew on minors under the age of 13 with a criminal record, but he gave up the idea because of the overwhelming public opinion on the Internet."

"There are more problem teenagers in France than in China."

All kinds of comments came in overwhelmingly.

The popularity of this drama is still gradually increasing.

Many moviegoers are full of recognition and admiration for the overall structure reflected in the movie.

The Cannes program brochure gave it a score of 3.1. Although it is not an absolutely high score, the title left many people speechless.

Since I know you are a bad person, why should I care whether you are a child?
This topic directly became the cover of news of many media in Cannes.

And then it swept all over the world!
