Zhongxin. com, January 1 ST (Bian Lei) Today, 2019 opens and the world enters a new year.

　　Looking back at the world in 2018, there are tensions and handshakes; There are people who have left their homes and reunited after a long separation; There is a willingness to go its own way, and there is also a win-win cooperation.

　　There are many disturbances, and the New Year has arrived. Can the dispute between the United States and Russia turn around, can the EU’s "separation" be neat, and can the displaced refugees settle down … … There are still many puzzles to be solved in the world situation in 2019.

　　A suspense drama with twists and turns

　　Russia and the United States "old rivals" will meet again.

　　From the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty turmoil to the Syrian conflict, 2018 witnessed the further deterioration of Russia-US relations; However, from the July 16 "Pute Meeting" to the mutual invitation of the heads of state of the two countries, 2018 also left a highlight moment under the cloud of Russia-US relations.

　　For Russia, in 2019, it will still face "two Americans", one is a "rigid America" that abides by hostility towards Russia, and the other is a "Trump’s America" that is bound by domestic politics and public opinion. Zhao Junjie, a researcher at the European Institute of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, predicted in an interview with Zhongxin.com that the second "Pute Meeting" might be held, but there are still uncertainties.

　　However, creating a good external environment may not be Russia’s top priority in the new year. Experts said that Russia will maintain Russia-US relations in a "controllable opposition" and will focus on promoting economic development and improving people’s livelihood.

　　Brothers on the peninsula facing each other.

　　Can the Han Dynasty survive the robbery?

　　2018 is not just a tense year. From Panmunjom to Pyongyang, three "Jinwenhui" opened the window of peace on the peninsula; In Sentosa Island, Singapore, the smooth progress of the "Golden Specialist" has made history stand at a new starting point. Many experts pointed out that in 2019, the easing situation on the peninsula will continue.

　　"For now, ‘ Jinwenhui ’ May be more ‘ Jintehui ’ In an interview with Zhongxin.com, Ling Shengli, secretary-general of the Center for International Security Studies of the Foreign Affairs University, predicted, "Because from 2018 ‘ Jintehui ’ From the point of view, both the DPRK and the ROK are willing to ‘ Jintehui ’ Before, meet and communicate first. "

　　According to Ling Shengli’s analysis, the second "Golden Specialist Conference" may be held in the first half of the year, and its core topics will still point to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the understanding of the concept of denuclearization of the peninsula by both sides, the specific operation of nuclear abandonment, and whether a reciprocal agreement can be reached, which may become the focus of attention of the US and DPRK leaders.

　　"Troika" bumps all the way.

　　The EU will usher in a truly crucial year.

　　After a lapse of five years, the EU will usher in parliamentary elections in May 2019, and the former "Troika" was in a quagmire last year. Jiang Shixue, an expert on international issues and distinguished professor of Shanghai University, predicts that there are still many uncertainties in Britain’s "Brexit" this year, and the French "Yellow Vest" movement may be repeated at the beginning of the year. At the same time, Karrenbauer, leader of the German ruling party, will also face many challenges.

　　In the opinion of public opinion, Britain is decoupled from integration, the "Franco-German axis" is beyond its power, and the ultra-right populist forces are emerging, which may bring variables to the European Parliament elections, and the EU will also face a crisis of potential leadership vacuum.

　　However, Jiang Shixue said: "The EU has a sound mechanism that can lead all EU member States in all aspects to promote the development of political, economic, social and cultural fields."

　　Attack from all sides to create momentum

　　Is the confrontation between Russia and Europe "taking part in accidental amusement"?

　　In 2019, Ukraine, located between Russia and Europe, was more eye-catching. In 2018, the storm caused by the Russian-Ukrainian Kerch Strait has not been smooth, and the rest of the waves have been "photographed" in 2019.

　　Who started the trouble in Kerch Strait first? At the end of last year, Russia and Ukraine fought in the Black Sea, then the friendship treaty cooled down, the war between sanctions and anti-sanctions started, Trump postponed the Pute meeting, and the EU wanted to extend the sanctions against Russia … … Will Russia-Ukraine relations ease in the new year?

　　Zhao Junjie, a researcher at the European Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that the geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine has become the strategic focus of the game between Russia and western countries, and the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine will continue in 2019.

　　According to expert analysis, on the contrary, Russia-Europe relations may be warming up, and Europe has its own problems. Putin may use Europe’s dependence on Russia in energy and other aspects to strengthen contacts with Europe and reach an agreement with Europe on major issues. However, some analysts said that in view of the sharp differences between the two sides on the Ukrainian issue, the "improvement" of Russian-European relations will be limited to "superficial articles."

　　Mixed flavors "one pot stew"

　　American politics faces many uncertainties.

　　At the beginning of 2019, American political circles are also facing many uncertainties: the hidden danger of "retreating from the group" has not been dispersed, the deadlock of the government’s "closing the door" has not been solved, the shock of US stocks is worrying, the investigation of "TongRumen" is still poking Trump’s spine, and Trump withdraws his troops from Syria but makes a surprise visit to Iraq … …

　　In early 2019, Trump may announce his withdrawal from Afghanistan. In this regard, Zhong-Ying Pang, Dean of the Institute of Ocean Development of China Ocean University, said: "On the whole, Trump’s foreign policy is shrinking from the existing global strategic layout." "Over the years, the pace of global expansion of the United States has been too great, and now announcing the withdrawal of troops is actually an adjustment of the global strategic layout of the US government."

　　On the other hand, the new House of Representatives controlled by the Democratic Party will take office on the 3rd. In 2019, can the "split" Congress belonging to the two parties make Trumpism continue to advance? Can we reshape the American political landscape? It deserves attention.

　　Six relatives are helpless, and thorns are everywhere.

　　Where is the refugee’s home?

　　On the US-Mexico border, immigrants looking for the "American Dream" were blocked from the country by tear gas; In Europe on the other side of the ocean, refugees are still drifting at sea; After the war in Syria, the people set foot on the road of no return to find a place to live … … In 2019, where will refugees be home?

　　At the end of 2018, many countries in the United States and Europe tightened their refugee immigration policies, and related contradictions deepened. The dispute over the border wall in the United States has intensified the division of the government, and Italy, Poland and other countries have been at loggerheads with the European Union because of the refugee problem.

　　On December 19th of the same year, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Global Compact on Migration. Can the migration issue usher in a turning point?

　　"On the issue of immigration, every country will make the right choice according to its own interests, and the relevant provisions of the United Nations only play a certain guiding and binding role externally. The contract is conducive to all countries in the world to work together to solve the immigration problem, but it is impossible for the immigration problem to be solved once and for all. " Jiang Shixue said. (End)

On March 1, 2024, and the latest limited-time preferential car purchase scheme was launched.

Including:

• 8000 yuan shows auto insurance subsidies.
• 2000 yuan designated car paint limited time discount price
• Time-limited installment car purchase with low interest rate

The program will last through March.

The price of the rear-drive version of the Model 3 model after insurance subsidy is as low as 237,900 yuan, and the price of the Model Y rear-drive version after insurance subsidy is 250,900 yuan.

In other words, the actual guide price of the vehicle has not changed, and the discount that can actually be reflected in the vehicle price is only an insurance subsidy of 8,000 yuan.

How is the comprehensive discount of 35,000 yuan calculated?

1. The car paint coating cost is reduced.

The original price of white painting is 8,000 yuan, saving 6,000 yuan, and the original price of gray and red painting is 12,000 yuan, saving 10,000 yuan.

2. Adjust the annual rate of car purchase by installment to 1.99%.

Suppose you want to buy the gray version of Model Y, the cost of car paint selection will be saved by 10,000 yuan, and the insurance subsidy will be 8,000 yuan, making a total of 18,000 yuan; The remaining 17,000 yuan is reflected in the way of buying cars by stages, so it is a prerequisite to get a comprehensive discount of 35,000 yuan at one time. On the contrary, if you don’t plan to choose special painting or buy cars by stages, this time it will only save an insurance.

Tesla’s participation in the price war should be passive. Before that, Model 3/Y experienced many rounds of price reduction, but the recent adjustment plan was price increase; After a period of downward adjustment, the upward adjustment is reversed. This operation can prevent potential users from losing confidence in the brand, and will not cause them to have a wait-and-see mood. At the same time, it can also stimulate the mood of potential users to "buy up and not buy down". Therefore, Tesla’s price adjustment strategy is really smart, but the recent price war is too fierce; At first, it was a price war of 100,000-class plug-in hybrid vehicles, which was mainly started by BYD. Later, it spread to the middle and high-end automobile market. Recently, many Model 3/Y cars of the same class have opened limited-time concessions, among which there are many choices with higher comprehensive strength.

At this time, no brand can be immune, and direct price reduction has become the most effective way to stimulate sales.

It is expected that there will be several rounds of price adjustment in Tesla in 2024, and the insurance subsidy in March is just a small test.

Tianhe Auto editor, welcome to turn to praise.

Chinanews. com, May 27 th
At the press conference held by the Ministry of Public Security on May 27th, a spokesman for the Ministry of Public Security said that the crime of telecommunication network fraud was very harmful and the people hated it. Faced with the challenges of the continuous renovation of telecommunication network fraud methods and the fact that many fraud dens are hidden outside the country, the public security organs throughout the country adhere to the general idea of "four specialties and two synergies" and make overall plans to promote the work of cracking down, preventing, managing, controlling and publicizing. In the past five years, a total of 1.945 million cases of telecommunication network fraud have been cracked, the number of cases filed in a single month nationwide has decreased for eight consecutive months year-on-year, and the amount of fraud losses has decreased by nearly 30%, effectively curbing the rising trend of telecommunication network fraud crimes.

According to the spokesman, especially since July 2023, the special work to crack down on crimes involving me in North Myanmar has achieved great results. More than 49,000 suspects of electric fraud have been handed over to us, and the notorious "four big families" criminal group in North Myanmar has been devastated. Bai Suocheng, Bai Yingcang, Ming Pearl Krabs, Wei Huairen, Liu Zhengxiang and Liu Zhengmao have all been arrested, and they will be tried and severely punished by law. Again, those who commit crimes against China and harm our people will be punished far away.

The spokesman pointed out that in the process of cracking down on electronic fraud, the Ministry of Public Security mainly focuses on these specific tasks:

The first is to organize special strikes. According to the characteristics of electric fraud cases, we will carry out major attacks. The Ministry of Public Security continued to deploy and carry out special actions such as "Yun Jian", "Cut off the card", "Cut off the flow" and "Pull out the nails", organized regional battles and cluster battles, and severely cracked down on overseas fraud groups and domestic criminal gangs involved in fraud, such as drainage, money laundering, technology development and smuggling, and arrested a total of 82,000 criminal suspects, including 426 behind-the-scenes "gold owners" of fraud groups.

The second is to deepen joint law enforcement. Relying on the international law enforcement cooperation mechanism, the Ministry of Public Security has sent several working groups to relevant countries in Southeast Asia, destroying 37 overseas fraud dens, which has formed a powerful shock. At the same time, actively work with relevant departments to promote comprehensive management, compact the main responsibility, strengthen industry supervision, and fully squeeze the space for fraud-related crimes.

The third is to strengthen early warning interception. Based on prevention first, we will fully promote early warning, dissuasion and technical countermeasures. Since 2021, the National Anti-Fraud Center has issued a total of 660 million instructions, and the public security organs have met to discourage 18.44 million people. Together with relevant departments, they have intercepted 6.99 billion fraudulent phone calls and 6.84 billion text messages, disposed of 18 million domain names and websites involved, and urgently intercepted 1.1 trillion yuan of funds involved. Here, the public security organs once again remind the masses to pay attention to the anti-fraud reminders issued by the police in time, raise their awareness of prevention and anti-fraud, and protect their wallets.

1905 movie network news The film is being shown continuously. On February 3rd, the film was specially shown in Peking University. The main creators Cheng Er, Huang Lei and special guest Jia Zhangke came to the scene to interact with teachers and students. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm, and many students from Peking University specially came from their hometown to participate in the dialogue, exchanged sharp questions and opened up more different perspectives for everyone.

Several guests thoroughly discussed many controversies about films and sent sincere wishes to China films. Director Jia Zhangke expressed his passion: "Seeing this work and the director finally turned into a joy for me, which is related to the future possibility of China films. A group of serious people will try different possibilities and China films will get better." The movie Nobody has exceeded 700 million at the box office.

Cheng er

Huang Lei unveiled the great contrast outside the director’s work.　

Cheng Er: I hope to soothe the hearts of more viewers.

The box office of "Nobody" has exceeded 700 million, from the small details of Napoleon and coffee in the plot, the emotional eye play and the huge reversal at the end, all of which have become the material for the audience to repeatedly appreciate the taste.

Huang Lei, Cheng Er

In the face of various controversies related to Nobody, Director Cheng Er frankly expressed his thoughts. Regarding the mixed evaluation of the film, he said that he accepted it completely: "I hope that the future works can stand from a larger perspective and soothe the hearts of more audiences. As a filmmaker, he should have a humble soul and convey simple emotions."

As a director’s friend for many years, Huang Lei revealed a little-known side of Cheng Er: "He is very rough in life and eats whatever he wants. However, it was very detailed when filming, and there was no waste of pen and ink on each character. " Although "Nobody" is considered by some audiences to be not a happy family, director Jia Zhangke said that he enjoyed it in the cinema: "The charm of history lies in its various possibilities and conjectures, which will bring us many pleasant things and thoughts. I witnessed the brewing and completion of "Nobody", and the works directed by Cheng Er have a stronger appeal than the classic narrative. "

Peking University students praise Cheng Er’s aesthetic attainments.　

Jia Zhangke sincerely sends a message to China movies.

The dialogue scene of "Nobody" was almost packed, and many students of Peking University were already two-brush films, still amazed by the aesthetic attainments of director Cheng Er. After watching the film, everyone felt deeply, and the questions raised were all with sharp thinking. Some students paid attention to the film’s depiction of "the land of hometown" for many times, and Jia Zhangke deliberately interpreted it: "Old Shanghai often reminds people of the colorful and modern world. In fact, almost all the families of thinkers and revolutionaries in that era were peasant children, and the land revealed the identity change behind well-dressed people and their pre-history. This is also the difference between "Unknown" and other spy wars and old Shanghai movies. "

Some students also pay attention to the fact that the role played by Huang Lei is the only person wearing a robe in the film. It turns out that such details are also the director’s ingenious design: "Mr. Zhang is at the fusion point of the old and new times, bearing old morality and facing new morality, so he can be seen in the film wearing both a robe and a suit." It shows Cheng Er’s rigorous design of film details.

At the end of the conversation, several guests sent sincere wishes to China films and young people. Director Jia Zhangke once again expressed his love for the film: "There are many characters in Nobody, but every face is in line with our imagination of the 1940s. It can be said that there is no face jumping." Director Cheng Er also spoke frankly: "It is the simplest starting point for my creation to build a bridge of communication with the audience I have never met through images and stories." If "Nobody" belongs to the romance directed by Cheng Er, directors like Cheng Er and Jia Zhangke who are not "disciplined" have created the romance of China movies together. I believe that the audience will face more choices in the future and the film market will blossom more.

1905 movie network news On March 14th, the director’s new film "A Man and a Woman" released the first concept poster, announcing that it would be starring men and women. The film was produced by the Emperor Film and served as the general planner.

In the poster that was first exposed, a picture of meeting by fire was described. A man handed a lighter to a woman at his fingertips, and his two hands were about to touch each other. A flame that was expected to be ignited, an unknown relationship, and surging feelings were full of stories. It is worth noting that men and women wear gold rings and silver rings in their ring fingers respectively.

It is reported that the movie "A Man and a Woman" is about to start.

First, design: the perfect integration of classic and modern.

Classic elements have been absorbed in the design, and the proportion and curvature of the car body have reached a new height, showing a unique "leading dovetail" momentum. The front face adopts closed design, and LED daytime running lights are embedded in the polygonal headlight group, which shows the modern atmosphere. The front enclosure is designed as a trapezoidal heat dissipation opening, with special-shaped vents on both sides, which enhances the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle.

The side of the car body presents the shape of a standard sedan, and the waistline runs through the front and rear fenders, forming a slightly convex and small wide body effect. With double three-spoke rims, hidden door handles and roof lidar, it reveals the atmosphere of combining technology and aesthetics. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of AION RT are 4865/1875/1520mm and the wheelbase is 2775mm respectively.

The rear design is simple, with a long and narrow taillight group, and the license plate frame concave in the middle adds a bit of three-dimensional sense. The rear enclosure is designed with double sides and double layers, and decorated with reflective strips to create a stable visual effect.

In the interior design, AION RT is simple and fashionable, with two spokes and very avant-garde. The narrow strip LCD instrument and the suspended large-size central control screen make the interior look full of science and technology. In addition, AION RT brings great soft package space, leather at your fingertips, and high-end atmosphere is comfortable.

Second, space: spacious and comfortable, flexible and changeable.

AION RT also performed well in the interior space. The trunk has a volume of up to 540L, which meets the daily travel needs. The seat layout is flexible and can be adjusted according to the needs of passengers to improve the ride comfort. In addition, the front seats are equipped with high-end configurations such as seat ventilation, front and rear electric sunshade, voice wake-up AI assistant, and four-tone zone recognition to make the ride experience more comfortable and convenient.

Third, intelligent driving: laser radar blessing, intelligent driving and upgrading.

AION RT is equipped with the first lidar system of its class, equipped with 27 intelligent driving hardware and advanced deep learning algorithm, which can perform well on complex urban and rural roads. The system can realize automatic lane change, automatic parking and other functions, making driving easier and safer. At the same time, AION RT also supports 3C fast charging technology, and the charging speed is ahead at the same level, making long-distance travel no longer a problem.

Fourth, battery life: long battery life, worry-free travel

As a pure electric car, battery life is always the most important, not only long but also fast. AION RT also performed well in terms of battery life. The new car offers two motor options, the maximum power is 150 kW and 165 kW respectively, and the pure electric cruising range is as high as 650 km. In addition, thanks to the application of 400V silicon carbide technology and magazine battery technology, it takes only 18 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, which greatly improves the charging efficiency. This long battery life and fast charging ability make AION RT an ideal choice for long-distance travel.

In short, GAC AION RT has successfully challenged the A+ market with its leapfrog experience such as high face value, high endurance, smart driving and large space. The launch of this car not only enriches consumers’ choices, but also brings new possibilities for future travel modes. It is believed that with the listing of AION RT, GAC Aian will occupy a more important position in the new energy vehicle market.

　Poster under the Peony Flower

[Jury Award — — 】

Biggest opponent:

The news of Sofia Coppola’s remake of "Under the Peony Flower" attracted a lot of attention at first, and the strong lineup of Cass made people look forward to this film. There is no doubt about the completion of this work. The plot is neat and the picture is very beautiful. But once again, Coppola’s "peony flower" is no more romantic than the old dongmuban. Despite the two-pole evaluation, the tonality of Under the Peony is still pleasing, and the group plays of actresses such as Nicole Kidman, kirsten dunst and Elle Fanning are also very special. There is little hope of winning the jury award representing "popularity"

As a biopic of Ge Daer, Awe is bold. What’s bolder than the story is the "Ge Daer style" that the director uses in the film. No matter how public opinion defines Awe, Ge Daer is always special to Cannes Film Festival.

An exclusive comment on "Under the Peony Flower": The romance does not stop at regularity.

Director: Sofia Coppola

Starring: Nicole Kidman, kirsten dunst, Elle Fanning and Colin Farrell

Scoring: ☆☆/☆☆☆

The story of "Under the Peony Flower" with such a strong creative lineup is definitely a strong "big IP" when converted into the jargon that we are familiar with the mainland film market. Old Dongmu, who is full of tough guy flavor, was very lucky in the 1970s version of Under the Peony, while Colin Farrell seems to be better than blue in shine on you: Nicole Kidman, Ersten Deng Site, Elle Fanning … … Walking among such beautiful flowers, as a viewer, I can’t help but expect how he will show his romantic feelings.

Sofia Coppola’s picture language is impeccable. From the beginning to the end, the immersion of the long lens is in place, and the color, framing and moving lines are accurate enough to score 90 points. The actor’s face value blessing makes the film exquisite and completely like a work of art. However, due to the lack of plot strength, these technical advantages can only make "Under the Peony Flower" a well-organized work, which is difficult to bear a higher evaluation.

Many people can’t hide their disappointment with the new Peony Flower. Since it’s a remake, it’s hard to escape the contrast with the original. On the script level, Sofia Coppola is almost completely defeated by Don Siegel, and at the same time, the characters played by Colin are not as three-dimensional and comfortable as Old Dongmu. Sofia Coppola’s description of the emotion between a man and several women, the exploration of the opposite sex by women of different ages, and the unity and revenge between women is more like a dragonfly, not bold enough.

Although "there is no romantic love under the peony flowers", there are still some highlights in the performances of several actors in the film. Colin Farrell pick up hot chicks skill off the charts, the face value has also increased by N Level； compared with the previous two days; Nicole Kidman’s character is still a little neurotic, Deng Site is an infatuated species, and Elle Fanning, a young flower who has just grown up, is green and immature in Under the Peony.

Poster of Surprise in Silence　

[Best Director Award — — Todd Haynes]

Biggest opponent: Hong Shangxiu.

Todd Haines’ new film is based on the novel/illustration book of the same name. Two stories with completely "split" artistic techniques are restored in the film by means of color and black-and-white silent films, which are quite consistent with each other. As a director, Todd Haines is also ingenious. Coincidentally, Hong Shangxiu, whose shooting technique is equally surprising, also uses the black-and-white effect in his new film.

An exclusive comment on Todd Haynes’s Surprise in Silence: reality and illusion interweave to restore warm fairy tales

Director: Todd Haynes

Starring: michelle williams, Julianne Moore and Cory Michael Smith.

Scoring: ☆☆☆.

The story of Surprise in Silence is adapted from Brian Selznick’s novel of the same name. The structure of the original work is quite unique and interesting: the whole article consists of two story lines and two artistic expressions, half of which are words and half of which are pictures. So when Todd Haines announced that he would put the book on the big screen, everyone was full of curiosity: how will this director, who is good at telling stories with visual language, schedule his shots this time?

The visual quality that Surprise in Silence finally presents to the audience can be said to be impeccable. From black-and-white silent films to stop-motion animation, Haines almost integrated all the most B-style artistic techniques into this new film. The retro in 1927 and the dynamic in 1977 were all expressed through different but very compatible images. With the reincarnation of the scene, the distance between the two parallel worlds, which are 50 years apart, is gradually increasing, black and white and color images, and the world of illusion and reality. Haines successfully showed the essence of the words and pictures in the book on the big screen.

However, compared with the perfection in the use of visual language, Surprise in Silence still failed to save the original as a children’s fairy tale in the sense of plot hierarchy. Whether in 1977, the clue that the boy went to new york alone to find his father, or the entanglement between the little girl and the actress’s mother in 1927, it was somewhat limited by the too simple plot to carry a larger and more thoughtful core. Fortunately, fairy tales are fairy tales, and profundity is only the icing on the cake. Warm enough is enough.

　The Killing of a Sacred Deer poster

[Best Screenplay Award — — The Killing of a Sacred Deer yorgos lanthimos]

Biggest opponent: noah baumbach.

Many fans may not have fully digested the story of curiosity, but yorgos lanthimos has returned to the main competition in Cannes with another The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Compared with his previous play, The Killing of a Sacred Deer’s script is even worse. It is understood that yorgos lanthimos also drew lessons from the classic techniques of ancient Greek tragedy, and the addition of divine power enhanced the mysterious atmosphere of this film. It is felt that the director and screenwriter of this film is really talented.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer’s exclusive comment: the modern Greek myth

Director: yorgos lanthimos

Starring: colin farrell, Nicole Kidman

Scoring: ☆☆.

As described in the previously exposed synopsis, The Killing of a Sacred Deer’s story will describe the growing entanglement between the surgeon Steve and a teenager who has a painful experience of a broken family with a euripides-style tragedy in ancient Greece. Euripides was a famous master of tragedy writing in ancient Greece. At that time, his works were really different. Most of the stories revolved around real life, and at the same time, they were mixed with romantic sentiment and farce atmosphere. In the play, "divine power" was often used to solve or link bugs on the plot level.

Revenge, farce, divine power … … These elements have indeed been carried forward in The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and an exaggerated tragedy with strong ancient Greek texture has been forcibly implanted in the background of modern society. In the film, no matter the dialogue or some plots, there is a strange and joyful feeling that is seriously out of touch with society, and the cruel means of seeking revenge from Steve by teenagers is even more ghastly under the blessing of "divine power".

Although the relationship between the plot and the role is actually very clear and simple, it is nothing more than the intersection of a teenager with a broken family and a surgeon family with a happy life. However, when "euripides" meets "yorgos lanthimos", it is an epic Greek tragedy with a nuclear explosion, which leads to the feeling that the plot and the picture are falling apart, and what the director wants to express far exceeds the limit that the lens language can control. Of course, many metaphors about gods are cleverly inserted, but the style of the works is really mysterious, and the degree of heavy taste in the second half is even worse than that in the previous Lobster.

Colin Farrell, who has just been rejuvenated in "Fantastic Animals", has become a respectable eccentric uncle this time. Nicole Kidman’s wife is quite neurotic, and the three little actors are even more outstanding. Each of them has a lot of geek potential in the movie, and Barry Keohan, who plays Martin, is the most important thriller. Looks a bit "facial paralysis" face, but from time to time reveals a frightening gloomy, indifferent; The youngest Sunny Suljic, a "blood and tears play" is impressive.

Robert Pattinson

[Best Actor — — Robert Pattinson]

Biggest opponent: Joaquin Phoenix’s "You’ve never been here"

Robert Pattinson’s career fell into a period of ups and downs because he was so popular that half the sky was covered. Although he constantly sought the transformation on the stage, his works remained tepid. This time, working with the Safedi brothers in Good Times, Pattinson, who had no idol burden, further challenged himself. His character was uninhibited and distinctive, and his performance was relaxed between exaggeration and forbearance. Joaquin Phoenix’s works made their final appearance in the main competition unit, and a large number of repressed one-man shows also tested the veteran actor’s basic skills.

Exclusive comment on "Good Times": Good times you can spend in the cinema.

Director: Ben Safdie, Joshua Safdie.

Starring: Robert Pattinson, jennifer jason leigh and Barkhad Abdi.

Scoring: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

As usual, the Safedi brothers’ new film "Good Times" still focuses on the life dilemma of marginalized people. As a crime film, the film is highly completed, at least, it can ensure the audience to spend a "good time" in the cinema without being sleepy.

"Good Times" was very "burning" from the beginning. The robber played by Robert Pattinson and his autistic brother went to rob the bank together. Their method of robbing the bank was to hand a small note to the counter staff to threaten … … In the escape, my brother accidentally fell into the hands of the police. The film tells a tortuous story that happened overnight in order to save his brother from prison in Robert Pattinson. The film has a compact rhythm, tense plot and frequent jokes, which is quite good in perception, and the electronic music throughout is unforgettable.

Perhaps the biggest highlight of the film is Robert Pattinson. His outstanding performance in the film is obvious to all. After the 85′ s actor became popular because of the vampire male god in Twilight, he tried many other roles in small and medium-budget movies, and occasionally played soy sauce in large movies, but it has never been popular. Many viewers’ impressions of him still remain in the dog blood drama that he and Stewart were on and off a few years ago. In "Good Times", Pattinson played a rebellious and affectionate robber quite brilliantly, even stunning, and was considered by many as a strong competitor for the best man.

　Marion Gas

[Best Actress — — Marion gas]

Biggest opponent: Diane Kruger

After that, marion gas and Ou Rong joined hands again. Although it is necessary to separate countless personality fragments in a role, Marion, who is a model, has still completed the shaping of this character. Competing with her is Diane Kruger, who plays her mother in Out of thin air. This film is almost her one-man show, and her mother and wife’s feelings of sadness, despair and courage are all displayed through steady performances.

Although everyone is looking forward to Hupel’s "Three Actresses", this time her role in it is impeccable, but it is really not challenging. We all love our aunt, and look forward to more wonderful roles in the near future to make her win another honor.

Happy ending poster

[Jury Award — — Happy ending]

The biggest rival: Surprise in Silence

If "Happy Ending" is vertically compared with Haneck’s previous works, it is not the best, and the fans’ expectation that Haneck will win the Palme d ‘Or three times will be dashed.

However, the jury prize may be the best destination for this film. Jury Award is generally regarded as the second largest award in Cannes, and it will be awarded to the most original and research-oriented films. Happy Ending, which put the live broadcast on the big screen and played very well, is in line with this standard, and Todd Haynes’s surprise in silence is also very competitive in the form of semi-silent films.

Happy Ending: Unhappy Family Ukiyo-e Painting

Director: michael haneke

Starring: Jean-Louis Trintignant, issbelle huppert and mathieu kassovitz.

Scoring: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Master michael haneke’s new film Happy Ending is one of the most anticipated films for many movie fans this year. The 75-year-old director with white hair and beard has a close relationship with Cannes. As early as 2000, he won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and the jury award at the Cannes Film Festival the following year. In 2005, he won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and then his war films and films won the Palme d ‘Or twice.

The film is about the trivial daily life of a middle-class family in northern France. In the film, the father played by Trintignant, an old opera bone, has two children, one is a businesswoman played by Aunt Hupel, and the other is a doctor played by Kassovitz. They also have their own children, but everyone in this rich family has some "wonderful things", and everyone is unhappy to wear a mask. This family group portrait is also a microcosm of many first-world societies. The film gathers many shadows of Haneck’s previous works.

One of the posters of Happy Ending is the blue sea in the iPhone lens, and the ending of the film takes place in this scene: Trentinian, who is in a wheelchair, asks her little granddaughter to push her to the beach, then he turns on the brakes of the wheelchair and lets herself slowly enter the sea. The little granddaughter calmly watches for a while and turns on her mobile phone to start recording videos. Aunt Hupel and Kassovitz hurriedly run through the mobile phone perspective … … In addition to Snapchat and mobile phone shooting, Haneck’s film even used Sia’s "Chandelier", which is also unexpected.

　　Poster of Double Lovers

[Palme d ‘Or — — Double-faced lover]

Biggest opponent:

This year, the main competition unit in Cannes is generally weak. Judging from the visibility of the film and the reflection of the viewing scene, Ou Rong’s "Double Lovers" has the best chance of winning. As a psychological suspense film, "Double Lovers" contains a variety of types. In addition to bringing extremely strong audio-visual impact to the audience, the lens language depicting psychology in the film is also very aesthetic. Another important factor is that Ou Rong and this year’s jury chairman, Amodova, have similar shooting paths, both prefer female themes and are also good at dog blood drama. Ou Rong is even called "French version of Amodova" by many fans, and the jury chairman’s right to speak can be imagined.

Although Ou Rong is in urgent need of a trophy, andrey zvyagintsev’s "No Love to Sue" is also a strong competitor of the Palme d ‘Or, and this Russian film has the highest score (3.2). The film seems to be a discussion of family ethics, but there are still metaphors about the social environment. The overall style is quiet, concise and meaningful, so it has won the favor of the world media and film critics. It is not surprising if the Palme d ‘Or trophy is finally won.

Double Lovers: A psychological suspense film with great audio-visual impact

Director: Fran? ois Ourong

Starring: Marine Vacth, Jeremy Raynier and jacqueline bisset.

Scoring: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

This year’s Cannes Film Festival is drawing to a close, and there is finally a movie in the competition film that Xiaobian can give five stars without hesitation. The French ghost director Ou Rong’s "Double Lovers" really didn’t let everyone down, even if it was watched at midnight, there was still no drowsiness.

"Double Lovers" brings together Ou Rong’s favorite psychological, erotic, suspense and other elements, and still unfolds the plot from the perspective of female characters. The film tells the secret truth behind the heroine Chloe’s "discovery of her boyfriend’s twin brother". The interweaving of dreams and reality creates a full suspense atmosphere, which makes the audience unconsciously fall into it. In addition to suspense, Ou Rong also plays erotic heartstrings, and many large-scale shots are impressive, such as the vaginal images that appear twice in the movie, which bring extremely strong visual impact to the audience.

The performances of the two leading actors are also very wonderful. Jeremy Raynier plays two brothers separately, and the two roles are similar in shape and completely different in personality. Raynier plays effortlessly. Marine Vacth, a new French actress, has a typical supermodel face. Earlier, she played a female college student in Ou Rong’s Beauty on the Moon, with long hair and red lips, which was suggestive in melancholy. In the first scene of Double Lovers, Marion cut off her long hair, and her short hair was light and makeup was light, and her performance was amazing. It was not impossible to win the Cannes film this time.
