Chapter 47 Red Sorghum and Akira Kurosawa(2/2)
Hannah understood Ronald's cold humor and couldn't stop laughing. A reporter nearby heard a few words and wanted to come over for an interview. Seeing that he couldn't hide, Ronald simply accepted the interview.
"What is your opinion on Godard's film festival?"
"I don't completely agree with his point of view. What I don't agree with is that the West Berlin Film Festival is not Hollywood's backyard. We are like West Germany and our allies in America, not puppets. As for whether the films in the Hollywood competition are good or not, it depends on the audience.
Let the judges judge.
What I agree with him is that we really need to focus more on other parts of the world besides Europe and America. For example, the previous films of Mr. Akira Kurosawa from Japan have always given me a lot of inspiration."
"Excuse me, do you have any preference for the films from Asian countries participating in this year's competition? Apart from your own "Moonlight"?
"I like everything I see when I get the chance."
"So how many of the participating films have you seen? Do you like Japan's Akira Kurosawa? Do you have a preference for the film Red Sorghum from China, which is also an Asian country? Do you think this film is similar to your own work?
, who will the audience like more?"
"Oh... I don't know. I heard it's a very good movie. I haven't seen it yet. As for the audience's taste, that's a mystery."
After accepting an interview with a reporter, Ronald ran away quickly. When he arrived at the hotel, he asked Hannah when the Chinese movie would be shown. He wanted to see it too.
Hannah checked the schedule of the film festival, and it happened that the screening time of "Red Sorghum" was close to the awards ceremony, so Ronald, who came late, could have a chance to see it. This also shows that the organizing committee is very optimistic about this film.
, arranged to be shown relatively late for the audience to watch.
Ronald casually mentioned that he liked Akira Kurosawa's movies, but he didn't expect that "Red Sorghum" would give him a very familiar feeling. The director's use of color clearly has the style of Akira Kurosawa's "Shadow Warrior".
In a large yellow wheat field, a red sedan chair was carried by a few strong men. The sedan chair kept shaking up and down. The heroine inside, who looked very Chinese, was wearing a red wedding dress.
Ronald felt a strong hormonal impact that was about to overflow from the screen and was constantly building up. Regardless of other aspects of this movie, its ability to use images and colors to directly touch the audience's emotions is still very good.
Even viewers who don’t understand Chinese will still be aroused by this audio-visual language to evoke primitive emotions.
Ronald knew the male protagonist of the movie. He was the male protagonist of the movie that Director Xie was filming when he went to Songjiang. His facial lines were very familiar.
But I have never seen the heroine before. Her style is very different from the Jiangnan beauties in Xujiahui Studio. She has a wild beauty.
Ronald feels very good. This movie is also a movie in which you don’t need to understand the lines or the story to understand the emotions the director wants to express. It’s very interesting. Just like Akira Kurosawa’s "Shadow Warrior". This director,
It was obviously deeply influenced by Akira Kurosawa, and it can be seen in the picture.
After the movie was shown, Ronald waited to see who the director was. Chinese movie subtitles were different from Hollywood rules. The only things that followed the movie title were the names of the original novel and the screenwriter. After the movie was finished, he
Finally the director's name appeared.
