Chapter 1195 The big bank robbery Chapter 1196 The beauty of "Soulbroken Venice"! (Seeking the moon(2/2)
"No! Dillinger snatched $170,000 and left in a swagger!"
"good!"
"OK!"
“Beautiful job!”
In the cafe, whether they know each other or don’t know each other, they shook hands and congratulated each other and shouted thunderously.
The people's attitude towards Dillinger is completely to treat a hero. In their minds, this person is not a criminal person. He is the incarnation of justice.
And I feel very moved about this kind of scene.
Logically speaking, a bank robber should be despised by the public, but in the United States, whether in California or New York, whether in the Great Lakes or Florida, Dillinger is respected, and some places even bought his dolls and bought them very well.
This shows at least two points. First, the public is very dissatisfied with the consortium. The Wall Street Consortium has monopolized the economic development of the United States, and this is actually nothing. Because the United States has been living like this for so many years, the people have not had any wrong opinions about it before, but in recent years, especially in the past one or two years, the people have basically no good feelings for the Wall Street Consortium. The big reason for this is that the publicity of media under DreamWorks and media such as the Washington Post, and a series of things done by the Wall Street Consortium headed by the Rockefeller Consortium have made them look extremely bad among the American people.
Second, the people were also dissatisfied with the government. This point was not as vivid as this time before. When Roosevelt became president, many people opposed it. However, that kind of opposition was only concentrated on verbal condemnation. As Roosevelt settled in his position, the public's opposition gradually decreased. However, since Roosevelt took office, his actions and laws and performances of the government have greatly disappointed the people, especially when Roosevelt colluded with the Wall Street consortium. He used his rights to make profits for Rockefeller and other consortiums, which aroused the people very dissatisfied with the current local government.
When Herbert Hoover and Rutman were president, although the federal government also represented the interests of the consortium to some extent. Basically, their work belongs to the public and often takes into account the ideas and interests of the people, but Roosevelt's administration is obviously not.
Roosevelt was too anxious. He wanted to gain the support of many consortiums and then stabilize his rule. He believed that as long as most consortiums on Wall Street could support him, he would not be firmly in the throne, but he underestimated the power of the people.
Through Dillinger's affairs, the people's reaction to the government at least shows that the people now hate this cripple and his government.
Everything has a process of quantitative change to qualitative change. Now, I think the people's attitude towards Roosevelt and the current government has begun to approach that critical point.
This discovery made me very happy.
Because Dillinger's people in the United States have brought a lot of excitement to this Christmas. People don't have to worry about Dillinger coming to steal their money. They have a lot of jokes. In many stores in Los Angeles, there are a wide range of toys and Christmas supplies related to Dillinger, and people use this special way to support Dillinger.
I don’t know what Dillinger, who is hiding somewhere in the United States, would think when he saw this situation around him. I think this guy would definitely show a hint of smug sneer.
Dillinger was very busy, the American police were very busy, and the DreamWorks were even busier.
On December 10, Visconti's "The Soul Breaks Venice" was released, on this day. Victor Fleming's "The Wizard of Oz" and Sjostram's "The Ghost Car".
The premiere of these three movies kicked off the 1932 Hollywood Christmas schedule. The premiere of this movie by Visconti is at DreamWorks First Cinema. As DreamWorks first film during the Christmas schedule, the company attaches great importance to it.
After the release of this movie, it was welcomed by the audience and received rave reviews.
As for the other two movies, they also achieved great success. It can be said that on this night, both DreamWorks, New Line and MGM, all reaped the fruits of victory.
Hollywood filmmakers have given full resentment to these three movies.
Sjostram's "Ghost Car" has attracted much attention because of its unique style. As a result, Sjostram did not disappoint the audience's hopes and delivered a perfect answer.
"Sjostram's Swedish style is always so charming. The movie "Ghost Car" is not so much a movie, but a magical mythological fable. Nordic mythology is one of the oldest myths in human history. Swedes have this natural tradition. The biggest style of Sjostram's movie is that he can create a magical environment and psychological hint for the movie. Watch his movie, you won't think that there are such scenes in the world and such a world, but what happens inside is indeed true
What happened around you and made you feel suddenly enlightened." "From "Wind" to "Ghost Car", Sjostram implements the Swedish style. This style is like a fresh ground wind, which has brought endless inspiration to Hollywood. But we should see that from "Wind" to "Ghost Car", Sjostram is also undergoing great changes. In "Wind", we see that the magnificence of nature is as epic, but in "Ghost Car", this natural magnificence has become the dangerous beauty of nature, which is also heart-warming."
"Sjostram is a person who knows how to keep moving forward. His movies are also constantly developing and innovating. The greatest value of "Ghost Car" is that it presents an almost perfect new vision for Hollywood filmmakers: it turns out that movies can also be shot like this!"
"I think the overall style of "Ghost Car" is not just a reflection of the Swedish style. Sjostram was also deeply influenced by Mr. Corleon. In this movie, the characters are portrayed very well, putting the characters in a dark magical environment to show them, and completely stimulating human nature, and having deep thoughts."
"Ghost Car is a good movie. a masterpiece! I can't wait to see Sjostram's next movie."
Adam Bernstein, an authoritative Hollywood critic, wrote an article to highly praise Sjostram's movie. His comments were very good. Although Sjostram had a strong Swedish tradition, after arriving in Hollywood, he also paid attention to absorbing Hollywood's achievements and paid special attention to studying the tastes of American audiences. Therefore, his movies are always just right in sight, with a strong Swedish style on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are highly popular with audiences because of their Hollywood-style narrative style. At the same time, the most rare thing is that his movies always inadvertently reveal profound artistry and profound life philosophy.
When viewers watch his movies, whether they are cultured or uneducated, they will never throw themselves into their heads after watching them. They can feel something profound to a greater or lesser extent and reexamine their own hearts and life. A director who can sit to this level is obviously an excellent film director.
Compared with Sjostram's "Ghost Car", Victor Fleming's "The Wizard of Oz" has received overwhelming recognition and praise.
Da Investment, directed by Victor Fleming, and adapted from a famous novel that is very popular among the people.
This determines that the film was half successful before it started filming.
Over the years, Victor Fleming has been recognized by both Hollywood filmmakers and audiences. People have great expectations for his new film.
"If Sjostram's "The Ghost Car" is regarded as a black fable, then Victor Fleming's "The Wizard of Oz" is a fairy tale that is bright and unreliable. What I want to say is that many times, when people lose faith and courage, only kindness and purity can support them. No matter how difficult the world is or how bumpy the fate is, sometimes, powerful troops and empires will be destroyed. The great men who trampled the world under their feet will eventually become a loess, but those bright epics and legends can be passed down for thousands of years! This is pure power!"
"Many people say that "The Wizard of Oz" is suitable for children, but not for adults. It tells the story of a little girl, a strange kingdom, a wizard, a tinned man, and a scarecrow. This place is indeed a fairy tale world. But after watching this movie, just calm down and think about it carefully. Will we still regard the world inside as a fairy tale world very far away from us?"
"That world is like a mirror, reflecting all kinds of faces from us. Everyone can see their own shadows in it, and everyone can learn to be moved in it. This is the greatest shock this movie brings to us. This is also the most successful place in Victor Fleming."
"I dare say that in Hollywood, there are not many directors who can make "The Wizard of Oz" to such an extent. Victor Fleming is one of the few people. It is not that other people do not have this level, nor is it that other directors are not as good as Victor Fleming in their grasp of movies, but because in Hollywood, there are very few directors who are pure in their hearts like Victor Fleming."
"I think fairy tale movies are the ones that can test a director's movies. What tests is not his artistic nature. It is not whether the director is qualified to call him a master, but his heart. An assimilation movie can allow us to see that the director's heart is pure and not pure. Most directors in Hollywood cannot make good movies. That is, even if they have excellent skills and directorial practice, they cannot make good movies."
"To a certain extent, a director is actually shooting himself. The movie is a mirror in the director's heart. Through it, we can feel the director's inner world. Victor Fleming is a pure person. For him, fame and money are not important. What he values is the movie itself, and what he values is his inner freedom. He is like a white page, so when he makes this assimilation movie, he can show his pure inner world and rely on this power to infect all those who have watched this movie."
"The Wizard of Oz is a mirror, where everyone can see their ugly faces, and the Wizard of Oz is also a torch, and everyone can feel the light and warmth from it. The Wizard of Oz is a book of judgment. Everyone who watches will involuntarily judge their conscience."
“This is the great thing about this movie.”
Hollywood Mayor Grant's comment on Victor Fleming's Wizard of Oz is considered the most evident commentary article in the film.
This is true. I also think that in Hollywood, no one is more suitable for filming this movie than Victor Fleming. He is a pure person. The movies he made are naturally pure.
In this world, many things can infect people, but none of them are as powerful as purely this thing.
When a person who makes movies, when you become sincere, your movie will be sincere, and the audience who watch your movies will feel your sincerity. This is a cycle.
Sjostram crushed humans and the world to the audience. In him, it was a dark world, an ugly world, through which people would learn to reflect on themselves, but in Victor Fleming, it was a bright world, a warm world, through which people learned to be pure.
To some extent, these two people are sitting in different ways with the same meaning.
Therefore, it is reasonable that both movies succeeded later.
Visconti's "Soul-Breaking Venice" released on the same day also caused considerable controversy after achieving great success.
In a sense, the popularity of this movie is even greater than that of "Ghost Car" and "The Wizard of Oz". The pure beauty emitted by the entire movie makes people obsessed.
And this movie has completely made a person, not Visconti, but Gregory Parker.
In this movie, Gregory Parker plays the boy the composer likes. When Visconti wrote this script, he defined the role as the boy must be the embodiment of beauty, so beautiful that no matter whether a man or a woman, he will be moved by him, but at the same time he will not have evil thoughts.
There is probably only one child who meets this condition in Hollywood, that is 1-year-old Gregory Parker.
In this movie, Parker's performance made everyone who has watched the movie scream, and they called him "the most beautiful boy in the world!"
Aesthetic makes the biggest feature of this movie, and at the same time, its profound artistic nature is the most shining feature of this movie.
"Beauty is the common feeling of all those who have watched this movie! I think this movie is probably one of the most beautiful movies in Hollywood history! The lonely sea, the thick white mist, the swaying boats on the sea, the haggard man, the tall buildings... Such poetic scenes can be seen everywhere in this movie. As an Italian, Visconti understands the soul of Venice, he can easily find the scenery that best expresses his thoughts and infect the audience through the beauty of these scenery."
"The beauty of the picture is only the first stage. One of the characteristics of this film is to create such a beautiful world, showing the beauty of people's hearts. A composer came to Venice with the pain of losing his daughter, hoping to heal his wounds in this city and use the beauty of the city to cut off his inner pain, but he became more haggard because of the beautiful scenery of the city. This situation was adapted until he met a beautiful boy in a hotel. For this young man who was as beautiful as an angel, the composer fell into unprecedented tremor. Even when the plague was prevalent, others fled from this place in a panic, he still stayed, just to look at the boy more and die for the last time."
"This kind of beauty of human heart is even more touching than the beauty of a simple scenery!"
"I think this movie by Visconti is ambitious. The young Italian director uses it to explore a profound artistic topic, that is, what beauty is."
"As a whole, beauty is the source of all philosophical pursuits. In the history of aesthetics, this word is truth and the ultimate. The young Visconti used this method to reveal the connotation of the word by using the hazy feeling between a man and a boy."
"What is beauty? This is a question that has been debated for thousands of years, and there is no fixed answer. Visconti uses his movie to tell us that sometimes, the beauty of nature is beauty, but the most beautiful thing is the human heart. A pure heart is more important than anything!"
King Victor greatly appreciated Visconti's movie. He believed that Visconti's movie not only gained recognition from the audience, but more importantly, it created a brand new film language and a way of caring for movies - caring for people's hearts and exploring the meaning of beauty.
But some people have also made fierce criticisms of the film, which has triggered a big debate among Hollywood filmmakers!
