Chapter 103 "No Country for Old Men" released

"Even if beef cattle are slaughtered, there is no guarantee that there will be no danger."

"You follow the rules, but you end up like this. What's the use of following the rules?"

"These start with belittling bad habits, and when people stop calling 'sir' and 'ma'am, the world is almost over."

"A coin is just a coin, and it's you who decides things." "This coin came here the same way I got here."

At the end of the film, the gloomy and silent ending song sounded.David Thompson sat in his seat, a few lines from the movie echoed in his mind, full of emotion and powerlessness.

The applause from the screening hall and the few words from the audience discussing the plot let David know that they had a good impression of the movie.This is a rather rare phenomenon.Because "No Country for Old Men" is a low-budget literary film, most of the regular viewers in the past are people of a certain age and experience, and only these people can really taste this type of movie and gain insights from it.Young people love popcorn-style commercial blockbusters more, and are not interested in dull and difficult literary films.Different types of movies lead to the differentiation of audiences.Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for literary films to please audiences who are accustomed to pursuing commercial films.But because of Vogt Peston's popularity, a considerable number of young people came here, which made David full of complaints at first, thinking that they had lowered the quality of moviegoers.This has directly led to the fact that in this screening hall, the types of audiences are uneven, and their purposes of watching movies are also different. Some come for the nomination of the Palme d'Or in Cannes, and some because they care about the Coen Brothers, but more It was to see Vogt Peston.

David, who has been a film critic for many years, has a certain understanding of the marketing methods of literary films.Before the official release of literary and artistic films, the type of audience is generally screened through screenings and trial screenings. Through these audiences who understand movies, word-of-mouth is established, attention is drawn, and more like-minded audiences are attracted, as well as novelty-seeking audiences and wandering audiences, forming a benign cycle.It's rare to see a movie that doesn't limit audience types like the premiere of "No Country for Old Men."The unreasonable way of playing cards led to the differentiation of audience types, but the result was unexpectedly good.Because this movie truly appeals to both refined and popular tastes, no matter what type of audience it is, they can see what they want to see.

The dialogue is simple and easy to understand, but the meaning is profoundly hidden between the lines, hidden in the seemingly absurd details of the plot, intense and intense, profound and profound, with twists and turns, strict logic, and every shot is unconventional.

David suddenly understood why Vogt did not attend the premiere. Perhaps in his opinion, no matter whether he was present at the premiere of "No Country for Old Men", the movie would be well received by the audience.

After the Cannes Film Festival in France, Vogt's anti mentioned that the nomination for Best Actor was Vogt's distribution of the news to attract attention.But after watching the movie, David felt that Vogt's character, Chigurh the Killer, was the real hero who revealed the film's gist.

Among the three leading actors, the actors who played Moss the deer hunter and the old police officer all contributed wonderful performances.However, all the activity patterns of these two characters are traceable. Moss's mechanism is still unable to end well, and the old police officer's incompetence eventually retires sadly. These results are almost expected.

Only Killer Chigurh is special.His killing runs throughout the play, like a huge shadow hanging over the western sky.He is creepy, but it is difficult to simply define him as a murderer.Because you can't see the thrill of killing on his face.His killing process is always calm and calm, neither fast nor slow, firm and decisive at the moment he pulls the trigger, expressionless and precise like a machine.But afterward, he was disgusted with the blood, because he was obsessed with cleanliness, and he didn't like any blood on his body. Killing people was something he didn't want to but had to do.At the same time, in the eyes of others, his killing was completely unconscionable and groundless.He seems to have a set of standards, but there is no pattern to this set of standards.Whether it is the enemy (the police), the target (Moss), the employer, or the passer-by, he kills them all, some justified, some unreasonable, sometimes the other party flatters him, but he still kills people, sometimes he is very rude , but he endured it.Sometimes he will give people a chance to choose life and death by guessing coins, sometimes he will not give it.His entire spiritual world is like an unsolvable mystery, which no one can see clearly or figure out.His very existence is a paradox.

He is, without a doubt, the most powerful man in the entire movie.But such a powerful person will still be shot by the deer hunter Moss. After killing Moss' wife in "Yiyue", he was almost killed in a sudden car accident-he even obeyed the traffic rules Rules, no running a red light.

"This world, life, and people themselves are all absurd. Don't waste your brains guessing and theorizing, because there is nothing to guess and nothing to theorize. Things don't have to happen for a reason, and they don't have to be achieved after they happen. What purpose."

The so-called nowhere to rely on for old age does not only mean that people have no support when they are old, but that everyone has no support, because people do not necessarily have to grow old, and accidents will always happen when they are unpredictable.

Moss, the deer hunter, represents that greed has no good end, the old police officer represents the nostalgia for the innocent era in the past, and the killer is the theme of the whole movie, an unpredictable and irresistible fate.And Vogt Peston perfectly interprets this theme.He is the undisputed protagonist and core.

David couldn't help sighing: "A rare masterpiece..."

This year's Oscars may have another big hit!

**********************************

The box office of "No Country for Old Men" has exceeded 2008 million before the arrival of [-], and it has not been drawn, showing a steady trend.Based on the word-of-mouth of this movie, it is very possible that it will shine in the next awards season. Even if it wins an award, it may even have a new round of explosion at the box office, stimulated by the award.Not to mention that due to the different release dates, some important European ticket warehouses have not yet released this movie. After it is released, it is estimated that the box office will have to set a new record. The final global box office report of [-] million is not so far away.If that day really comes, then this small cost will generate almost [-] times the profit, which is enough to shock Hollywood's attention.

If it is said that Vogt Peston was too junior in qualifications and insufficient in weight because he had only made two films before, and only attracted the attention of shallow people, then once "No Country for Old Men" came out, even the person in charge of the Big Six I also have to start to face up to his existence - not every movie star can perform a literary film at the box office of a commercial film, and it is not just a short-lived movie, but three consecutive movies.These movies are not all big productions that the company is promoting, but are all low-cost literary genres. Every big hit is an upset, and it turns out as a dark horse.

While the box office is gratifying, there are also awards.The two films "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Departed" starring Vogt Peston are both the darlings of the awards season, and the awards are soft.Vogt's own acting skills are also highly recognized. He has been nominated for two Best Actors in the three major European film festivals, a Golden Globe Award Winner, and has been nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for two consecutive years. He is a Hollywood newcomer actor in his early twenties Getting such an achievement is simply against the sky!But this boy is such a cow!His terrible acting talent has conquered countless people since his first film, and he has maintained a steady performance in the next two films, and the film he chooses maximizes his excellent performance The degree of play, the two complement each other, and achieved a win-win effect.

There is no doubt that "No Country for Old Men" continues this style of painting. Nominated for the 2008 Academy Awards, "No Country for Old Men" won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing Nine nominations shocked the whole Hollywood!

Among them, Vogt Peston refreshed the history of Oscar because he was nominated for Best Actor for three consecutive years!It is said that there was a fierce dispute among the Oscar judges over whether Vogt should be nominated.Vogt's age and an unprecedented three consecutive nominations are reasons why some conservative judges find it hard to accept.However, based on the complexity of the nomination process and the effective restrictions on unfair competition, these people did not play much role.Vogt still made it to the nomination.

With the previous nominations and awards as the foreshadowing, many people believe that this year's Oscar Vogt can be crowned emperor smoothly.But the result was that "No Country for Old Men" won the most important Best Picture and Best Director, and Vogt and Best Actor still missed.Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor for "There Will Be Blood" for the second time.Daniel Day-Lewis is a master actor in Hollywood, his acting skills are well-known, and his performance in "There Will Be Blood" is very wonderful.Losing to such a senior, Vogt was not wronged.But three nominations and three no wins, Vogt's fans couldn't help feeling aggrieved for him.Vogt's dejected expression made one want to hold the whole world at his feet.

Because Vogt's unhappiness was so obvious, the reporter interviewed him afterwards and asked him how he felt about not winning the Oscar.

Vogt said: "I won't come to the next one. It's boring to always accompany me. If I can't win the award, I hope the Oscars won't nominate me."

"What?" The reporter suspected that something was wrong with his ears!

Vogt grimaced at the camera and walked away lightheartedly.He completely ignored the shocking effect caused by his ground-breaking sentence.

When the media reacted and dug three feet to find him to follow up and report, Vogt had already flown back to London to continue filming "The Duchess".

So the American media, who couldn't find Vogt, pointed all their guns and short guns at Vogt's agent, Lance Clark.
