Lance narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Joel sitting on the chair.

Joel straightened his back and raised his right hand high, like a straight poplar. The eyes hidden behind his curly hair were indebted and authoritative and firm. It can be seen that even if Lance did not name it, he would never give up easily. This is a very interesting thing, because in the previous conversation, Lance could detect Joel's rejection of him. So is Joel planning to come and pick on the trick now?

Lance gently raised his chin and agreed to Joel's request. Then he saw Joel standing up slowly, staring at Lance motionlessly, as if the focus was slightly deviated, Lance would immediately escape without a trace. The two of them confronted each other, staring intently, and even without blinking, just like a childish game where children competed for who would blink first.

The audience also noticed the sparks here one after another. Almost everyone recognized Joel, the status of the Coen brothers in Sundance is indeed unrivaled. They were immediately full of expectations for the ideological confrontation between Joel and Lance. The scene not only did not become lively, but became quieter and tense, and the feeling of suffocation that was about to break out slowly spread.

In the end, Joel moved first. He took the microphone from the staff and said in a deep voice, "Is the ending of the movie meaningful? Why is only Red Hair arrested, and Shuai Ned and the Little Overlord died? Shuai Ned was killed by Otto, and the Little Overlord was killed by the little ghost head. Does this imply a sad fate?"

Lance had almost no time to think, and explained incessantly, "These are three different branches. The red hair represents the primitive dark forces, they are in a corner and are conservative; the little overlord represents the emerging dark forces, they are lawless and ambitious; the Shunde represents the forces pushed into the endless abyss after the failure of resistance, just like Lucifer who fell from light to darkness."

The concise but clear explanation seems to not answer Joel's question positively, but it triggers more thoughts.

The red-haired was replaced by the Little Overlord, which was a collision between new forces and old forces. The Little Overlord died tragically at the hands of a new generation of forces. The change of times followed the tradition of crime in an absurd way; Shunde joined the gang in order to avenge, but finally died at the hands of another revenge person, and the vicious cycle of tooth for tooth and eye for eye will continue to be deduced endlessly.

Joel said without pause, "So, this is an irresistible fate!" This is a positive sentence, not a question. So Joel did not give Lance the world answered, and continued directly, "Is there any deep meaning in the film's lens? In the whole movie, there are two particularly noteworthy details. The first is the use of composition. Many times the background picture is infinitely wide, even giving people a sense of boundlessness, but the characters occupy most of the themes of the picture, making people feel a cage, especially for the vast and boundless background picture, the sense of contradiction becomes more and more obvious; the second is the use of tones, from excessive warm tones to cool tones, and then let warm tones penetrate into the cool tones. This contrasting shooting technique seems a bit fragmented, as if a fictional story was suddenly added to the documentary. Do these have any deep meanings?"

Lance did not interrupt Joel. Even though he had the chance, he listened carefully to all of Joel's narratives, and then answered, "The second question is very simple. This sense of separation is exactly what I want to convey. For the middle class living in the United States, the City of God is a completely different world, and even for most of the residents of Rio de Janeiro, an area that has no connection with them. But the fact is not the case. It is real, just like a parallel two-dimensional space, and the current situation of this area is affecting the real world in a tangible way."

All the audiences at the scene were in silence, unable to extricate themselves from the back and forth between Lance and Joel, and were completely moved by the collision of the two people's thoughts and began to think deeply.

"Back to the first question, this sense of contradiction and sense of separation is the same. For the three young heroes, for the little overlords, the City of God is their world, which is infinitely large, as if you can stand at the top of the world at any time; but in fact, we all know that this is an illusion. The City of God is just the tip of the iceberg of this world, but they never have the chance to see the outside world because they were trapped here from the beginning." Lance's words made the scene scream. Obviously, many people ignored the movie's use of the camera, because the sharp and fast editing almost stole all the limelight, but now from the conversation between Lance and Joel, they have a deeper understanding of the movie.

As Lance finished speaking, Joel's voice sounded again, giving almost no room for other audiences to breathe, and continued to push the game of thought, "Then, this is also a fate! An irresistible fate! Is the movie suggesting that the City of God is a siege that cannot be escaped, and all those born here will embark on a vicious cycle of fate path and will never see any hope. Is such despair a satire of the City of God or a reflection of real life? From the perspective of God and the overemphasis of the sense of fate, is it weakening the philosophical thinking and value reflection of the entire movie?"

"Yes, the core idea of ​​this movie is an irreversible sense of fate; no, this method will not weaken the core idea of ​​the entire movie." Lance's answer was like a solid cement wall, head-on with Joel. The sparks burst out made all the audience in the screening room hold their breath, and the excitement was no less than that of the movie itself.

"Before explaining this question, I want to ask a question back. Does anyone hate the Little Overlord? Or when the Little Overlord is brutally killing, he feels disgusted, resisted and rejected..." Lance looked around the audience, and no one raised his hand, which made Lance smile and look at Joel again, "Little Overlord is a complete bad guy, with no room for explanation, but why no one hates him, because each of us knows that this is fate. For living in God The city, who lived in the 1960s and lived in that impetuous environment, actually had no choice at all. Hidden behind this helplessness, is the sorrow and sadness of the entire era. The little overlord is just a flash of cereus in the City of God, fleeting, and after him, there will be the Little Ghost Head Gang and younger giants... The fate of the City of God will not change, and people's choice is to leave, or survive, or pick up the weapons in their hands."

"Not only the Little Overlord, but also Benny, Naid, Red Hair, the Three Young Man, Steak, and Otto... No one will remember the process of depravity and the way of falling, only fate, a fate that no one can escape from." Lance's voice plunged the scene into a dead silence, and the desolate and sad mood began to spread slowly.

Despair, that kind of destiny despair is like a black hole, devouring the vitality of everyone on the scene. Everyone in the story of "City of God" is entangled by despair, and as the story advances, the despair becomes more and more surging, and finally becomes a bottomless abyss, devouring all the hope in this world coldly and bloody, as if not even a trace of light can be seen.

"Then, Apao is the only hope in the City of God, right?" Joel said again, but this time he no longer had the aggressive momentum before, but asked in a confused voice.

Lance paused slightly, but the tense atmosphere between the two people was not only not cushioned, but was more suffocating because of this silence. "I want to ask, what made A Pao survive, or a little deeper, to walk out of the City of God? Does anyone want to express their opinions?"

Joel opened his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent and gave the opportunity to others.

"Brave! He has the courage that others do not have!" "Dream, when Ah Mao was shot dead, he saw the cameraman, and thus had a dream." "The experience of being bullied since childhood allowed him to stay away from the little bully and forced to the point of no way out, so he chose to leave." "Family, father's guidance is crucial!" "A lesson from Ah Dai."

One by one, one voice came one after another in the corner of the screening room, and even Ethan joined in the fun, "Education, the education he received since childhood gave him a broader horizon!"

Lance turned to look at Alexander standing beside him. The little guy seemed to understand the meaning of this look, remembering the discussion between him and Lance, a shy smile appeared on his face.

"I think, this is the thought left by the whole movie." Lance finally interrupted everyone's various speculations and raised his hand to point at the big screen behind him. "This is a desperate world, this is a world where you cannot get rid of fate, this is a world where you can't see the sunshine tomorrow at all. So, how should those souls trapped in the City of God break free? A Pao is not a hero, but handsome Ned is. A Pao is too timid and too cowardly. He can't even hold a gun, but why did A Pao leave the City of God, not anyone else? This is the answer I hope to find after filming this movie."

Lance did not give his own answer, but answered Joel's question mark with a question mark. Everyone at the scene fell into deep thought again, including Joel.

Joel looked at Lance deeply, then picked up the microphone and spoke, "Excellent work, excellent work!" Then Joel pointed at Lance and sat back in his seat. This was the result that Lance did not expect.

However, Lance did not have time to continue thinking deeply, and the next question was thrown over again, which forced Lance to listen carefully. "May I ask, you just mentioned that the City of God is another world for many people, but this world is quietly affecting our real world. How does this manifest itself?"
