After the list of nominations for the 62nd Golden Globe Awards was released, the biggest surprise was the fall of "killing with a knife".

After the movie was released, calls for "killing with a knife" suddenly emerged, carrying unanimous praise and becoming more and more brave. Not only did the box office performance be amazing, but the attention in the awards ceremony season also rose. Many people firmly believe that this work has the qualifications to compete for the best film, the best director, and the best original script. Lance's control over the camera has reached a perfect level, creating a strange world rooted in reality but is far from reality, which is awesome. The overall quality and completion level of the work have already possessed great strength. It is entirely possible to make a bloody road when the small-scale works are unique this year.

However, judging from the list of nominations for the Golden Globes, the best film, best director, best screenwriter and other departments in the plot category were all lost, which was a surprise; but what was even more surprising was that the lost and the winning of the works actually won a place in the fierce competition for the best actor and best supporting actor in the plot category, becoming the biggest surprise on the nomination list.

If Tom has a certain advantage in the competition for the best actor in the drama category, after all, Jamie Fox, Paul Giamatti, and Jin Carrey, who are nominated for the best actor in the music comedy category, have strong strength, and the competition level immediately declines after the two departments are separated; then Lance won the nomination for the best supporting actor, which is a recognition of absolute strength.

Cliff Irving, who "steals the heart", David Caratin, who "kills Bill 2", Morgan Freeman, "million dollar baby", Thomas Harden Church of "Glass of Wine Life" and Lancelot Strello, who "kills with a knife", will compete for the trophy for the best supporting actor.

On this list, before Cliff entered Hollywood in 1999, he was already the backbone actor who achieved great success in the UK; David became famous in the 1970s and received many praises in the fields of TV series and film, and his first Golden Globe nomination was thirty-two years ago; Morgan won the Oscar nomination twice as early as the 1980s, and is currently one of the most prestigious black actors in the United States; and Thomas, who has always been active in the film field, is a typical backbone supporting actor.

Relatively speaking, "Killing with a knife" is just a debut work, Lance is particularly conspicuous. Before this work, almost no one knew that Lance could still act, and even as a director, Lance just appeared just now; not to mention that in the supporting role department, the Golden Globe Awards do not distinguish between plot and music and comedy, which also means that the competition is more intense. Thousands of troops compete for five seats. It is difficult to win one-fifth of them.

But Lance's performance in "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" made everyone's eyes shine. The praise was like a refreshing air in the noise of the awards season, causing a series of chain reactions. Even if Lance concentrates on shooting new works in Austin, it has always been the focus of people's discussion. Now he has won the Golden Globe nomination in one fell swoop, which is well deserved.

This is really an interesting thing. Last year, "City of God" won the Golden Globe nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film for Lance, but this year, Lance relied on "Borrowing a Knife to Kill People", and completed the seamless connection from the director to the actor.

Who would have thought that Lance, who had officially appeared in the spotlight for less than three years, had an incredible start in two different aspects: director and actor. Not to mention whether Lance could win the acting nomination at the Oscar by relying on "killing with a knife", no one can deny that from the emergence of "City of God" to the amazing skills of "killing with a knife", Lance took every step so boldly and amazingly.

In fact, after the list of nominations for the Golden Globes was announced, the biggest surprise came from the competition for the best supporting actor, and the biggest surprise also came from the competition for the best supporting actor.

"Borrowing a Knife to Kill" received only two acting nominations on the entire list, which really made it fall below the glasses of countless people.

As a commercial film, the quality of the finished product of "killing with a knife" is eye-catching. Lance's bold innovation in the camera and light has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the fixed mode of genre films. Crime and action films have entered a bottleneck stage after 30 years of development. As a director, Lance has injected completely different new energy into the genre work, allowing the film to shine a new life - and has been recognized by the audience, which is undoubtedly worthy of recognition.

More importantly, the story is just a game within a small pattern, but it has unearthly echoed. The film has conducted a profound discussion on the confrontation between justice and evil and the social roots of the breeding of sin. In particular, the Rashomon topic has raised the core idea of ​​the work to a philosophical level, which is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough. Not to mention commercial films, even for artistic films, this is not a simple proposition.

It can be said that "killing people with a knife" reflects the problems of the entire society by seeing the small and reflects the problems of the entire society.

From this perspective, the small pattern of "killing with a knife" interprets a big scene, which is similar to "million dollar treasure" and is exactly the opposite of "finding a dream island" - the latter's story seems to be based on a magnificent historical background and tells the lives of small people in the big background, but after going from big to small, the theme cannot be further explored, which is very regrettable.

The overall quality of "killing with a knife" is no less than "stolen heart", "Rwanda Hotel", "Soul Song King" and other works are even better. The core idea of ​​the story is comparable to works such as "Rwanda Hotel" that bear historical burdens. Therefore, many film critics firmly believe that this work can be nominated in the Best Picture, Best Script, Best Director and other departments, which is not groundless.

But the ending is just the opposite. "Killing with a knife" has been ignored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in the overall project, and its commercial attributes have become its biggest stumbling block, which has not allowed this work to be one step closer after a box office victory; but "Killing with a knife" has won two nominations in the acting department that relies more on personal performance. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association obviously believes that performance is the soul of the movie compared to the story.

After the nomination list was announced, this result became the focus of controversy. In addition to the rising popularity of the "Flyer", people are discussing whether "killing with a knife" should be more recognized, whether this unique crime thriller movie has reached the height of "desperate destiny", and whether the two acting nominations reflect the true quality of this work?

In addition to "killing with a knife", "Villa Drake", who only won the Best Actress in the Drama category, is also considered a regret for the Golden Globe Award. This new work directed by famous British director Mike Lee (Fan Ke-leigh), won the Golden Lion Award and Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival not long ago, and received eleven nominations at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, leading the list.

On the European continent, this work, which deeply explores life and choice, has received countless praises and is considered to be the most in-depth and powerful work in 2004, far better than the "Flyer". However, after coming to North America, it was coldly treated at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which caused a series of controversy.

Especially the best screenwriter department.

But it is worth noting that on the one hand, people feel sorry for the failure of "killing with a knife", but on the other hand, they cannot accuse the nomination of the Golden Globe Awards of not being fair enough, because this is the award-winning New Year, because a series of works are close in strength, because except for the "Flyer" who is absolutely strong, it is normal for any other work to win the nomination.

However, there is one thing that everyone has reached a consensus, that is, among all the nominations in the two departments of the Golden Globe Best Picture, after deducting the unsatisfactory "Phantom of Opera" with unsatisfactory quality, plus "Villa Drake" and "Killing with a knife", these twelve works will compete for five nomination seats for the Oscar Best Picture. In addition to the "Flyer" who almost booked a nomination seat, the other four seats will be competed by eleven works. The fierce pattern is really rare. It will not be an accident that any work is selected or any work falls behind.

Among the final choices made by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, "Glass of Wine Life" received seven nominations, including Best Movie in Music Comedy, Best Actor in Music Comedy, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Movie Soundtrack unexpectedly led the entire list and became the biggest darling of the Golden Globes, which can be regarded as a microcosm of this year's awards season.

The highly anticipated "Flying Man" followed closely behind and was nominated for six nominations including Best Picture in the Drama, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Supporting Actress, Best Film Soundtrack, and Best Movie Soundtrack. Its momentum is not inferior. After entering the Oscar, thanks to the advantages of the technical department, the prospects of this work will be further improved.

"Stealing Heart" and "Looking for Dream Island" that won five nominations respectively remain in the No. 1 Group, becoming the first team in the current awards season.

It is worth mentioning that the topical work "Rwanda Hotel" has received three nominations, namely the Best Picture of Drama, Best Actor, Best Original Song in Drama, and Good Results, which once again continues the fine tradition of its production company Diorama Film being nominated at the Golden Globes for the past five years.

As the backbone of second-tier film companies, Diorama Film started out with art films, and its advantages in art films cannot be underestimated. Compared with Chaos Pictures, which became famous overnight by three movies, Diorama Films obviously has a deep foundation.

This time, "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" brought two acting nominations to Chaos Pictures, but still lag behind the "Rwanda Hotel". Such a scene seems familiar, and it seems to be the same at this moment last year, but this time, Diorama Pictures was not complacent, and no one even celebrated it.
