2019 Oscar Super Super Super Forecast Black Panther is expected to be a finalist?
Special feature of 1905 film network With the Venice, Teliuryde and Toronto Film Festivals coming to an end one after another, major awards have been released, and the situation in the upcoming award season has become clearer.
The Oscar status of these three major film festivals is not just talk. Last year, the winner of the Golden Lion in Venice became the biggest winner at the Oscar, and the Toronto People’s Choice Award also won two awards.
Below, Xiao Dianjun will take stock of the new films that have emerged in several major film festivals this year, and boldly predict the Oscar next year.
Not surprisingly, the candidates for the best film and various awards next year must be among these films.
Rome
Fu Mao, a film selector in Cannes, was forced by the French cinema to abandon Netflix in the main competition unit. I don’t know if he is upset at this moment, because this black-and-white epic not only won the Golden Lion Award easily in Venice by unanimous vote, but also is likely to replicate the successful model of "The Story of Water" and shine at the Oscar.
The quality of "Rome" is excellent. At present, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 98%, and the professional score of MTC media is as high as 96, and its reputation is extremely high.
The film tells the family story of Cleo, a young maid, and her four children in Rome, a middle-class community in Mexico City in the 1970s.
This is not only the director Caron’s own childhood memory and personal history, but also the grand historical pattern of the changes of the whole Mexican era.
Of course, what we should look forward to more is how Caron shows his always good scene scheduling ability in movies, and he has already seen his skills in the past and earlier years.
Today, the "Three Heroes of Mexico" is the darling of Hollywood. When Toro and Inarito both praised the best film at the Oscars, there is even more reason to believe that the Oscars will once again care for this Mexican-born director. After all, the regret of not winning the best film in those years has to be made up.
The first man on the moon
Undoubtedly, the Venice International Film Festival has been an outpost of hollywood awards season and Oscar.
Damien Chazelle, the director, was highly valued by Venice, and continued the courtesy of his previous work, winning the opening film. Although the film is not as popular as "la la land" on the whole, the evaluation is quite good, and it is also on the list of foreign media’s major Oscar predictions.
The First Man on the Moon tells the life of legendary American astronaut neil armstrong, focusing on the first man’s landing on the moon from 1961 to 1969. There are American national consciousness and subjective family perspective.
"Hollywood Report" praised: "The clear and profound picture is full of emotion, tension and suspense, as well as amazing skills".
The Guardian commented that the film was visually intoxicating and full of "certainty and vitality".
The film is praised most for its excellent audio-visual design, but criticized for the traditional stereotype of biographical films: conventional sensationalism.
Venice produced Chazeray, and Hollywood had high hopes for him. It is not a problem that The First Man on the Moon was shortlisted for the Oscar, but Hollywood’s "political correctness" has also become an obstacle in disguise: the film did not shoot the flag, and the starring Commander Gao was a Canadian actor, which once became controversial.
Beloved
Director yorgos lanthimos’s new film won the Venice Jury Award, and Olivia Coleman won the Best Actress, with 96% rotten tomatoes. Everywhere she went, word of mouth was bursting.
dramaIn short, love is a British palace fight. Two women fought fiercely for the favor of Queen Anne and gained court influence. The three heroines, Emma Stone, rachel weisz and Olivia Coleman, are undoubtedly a big attraction.
It is said that "Sister Stone", the Oscar-winning actress, has contributed more performances in the film than in la la land, and Olivia Coleman, who is blessed by the best actress in Venice, is undoubtedly a strong contender for the Golden statuette.
What’s more worth mentioning is that Lance Moss, a director with strong personal style, seems to have found a way to get along with the public through this film, which has converged his favorite sense of form, infinitely magnified the absurdity of comedy and made the film more entertaining and ornamental.
Black partisans
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, there were more big-name stars from Europe and America on the red carpet than the opening and closing ceremonies combined, which was enough to see Spike Lee’s personality charm and appeal, and finally won the jury prize, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes was 95%.
The film tells the story of John David Washington, a Colorado black policeman, who successfully sneaked into the local Klan organization to be undercover.
In the first half, the black police’s experience of sneaking into the white Klan was full of comedy and golden sentences. In the second half, the style of painting changed suddenly, the conflicts between races intensified, and the confrontation between the two sides was full of violence and hatred.
Unlike many racial movies with swords pointing at whites, Spike Lee also opposes the prejudice and radical attitude of blacks towards whites. He hopes to express a higher appeal beyond racism with the role of Ron: racism is accompanied by hatred, and I hope everyone in this country and the world can eliminate hatred.
It can be said that this film is full of political sensitivity. At the moment when racism is on the rise in the United States, the significance of this film having a place in the Oscar is self-evident.
If Beale Street could talk
This is Barry Jenkins’s latest film after the Oscar for Best Film, and it was well received after being shown in Toronto and New York Film Festival.
The magazine Variety called the film "a work of social realism, which was sublimated into a poetic work by virtue of the pure beauty of sound and spiritual humanism."
The film is adapted from james baldwin’s novel of the same name, which is about the love story of a young black couple in Harlem in 1970s. In the movie, Finney is falsely accused of rape, while Tish, who is pregnant, has to run around looking for evidence to prove her husband’s innocence.
The picture is exquisite and the emotion is delicate. Judging from the trailer, it is still the route and texture of Moonlight.
The film seems to have these "killer weapons", such as the political appeal of racial issues, the voice of feminism and the moral concern of social justice, but if you want to successfully squeeze into the Oscar list, you may have to face the film Black Party, which also involves African-Americans.
