The Brazilian garbage workers are going to the Oscars. This spring Festival Xidan girls, the rising sun, such as grass-roots artists to embark on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala Stage, became a big bright spot, in fact, grassroots heat is not only China, grassroots is a global topic. At the Academy's Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at the end of this month, a garbage worker from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's capital, is likely to share the stage with Hollywood celebrities and Pitt and Johnny Daip to receive their congratulations on the stage with a star's grace. The special character, one of the "scavengers" in the Oscar-nominated documentary "Junkyard", is named Sebastian Ang Carlos Doss Sandos. The film was filmed on a huge dump in the suburbs around Rio, where the little people struggled for life and faith. This is the world's largest dump, dumping 7000 tons of waste every day. Residents there are looking for supplies of pots and pans, plastic and metal, which they can use, and then sell them to recyclers to earn their living expenses. Sebastian has been working for more than 20 years since he was 11 years old. Wick Mounize, a New York artist, has made a special trip to the scavenger hunt, where he hopes to find inspiration for his paintings. Muniz, who had grown up in a Brazilian slum, used his paintbrush to sketch the movements of the laborers who had toiled through the scorching sun. His actions and the lives of the scavengers were filmed by British female director Lucy Volc. Admittedly, the junkyard is not a beautiful place, but the dirty and messy scenes do not affect the female director's artistic creation, the film is very human and intelligent. And the documentary also extends to the lives of these characters, revealing their pursuit of the spiritual world, their optimistic attitude towards life, etc., are rarely known to outsiders. The film is a true record of an artist working with a poor laborer to create an art scene. Muniz selected Sebastian as his model and meticulously crafted a painting of scavengers resting in a discarded bath tub. The painting is based on real scavengers, with a garbage dump, a subject that has never been tried before. Two people from the same source, but the status of the difference between the figure, through the paintings to understand each other and explore each other, but also showed great patience and enthusiasm in the work, making the film touching deep. The film also recorded the completion of the painting, 32-year-old Sebastian with Muniz away to London, personally participate in the painting auction. He was thrilled to tears when he saw that the painting produced a high price of 45000 dollars. The man who has never been in touch with art and film has become the star of the film. Even more exciting is that, because the documentary won the Oscar award for the best nomination, he might really go to Hollywood, really become a "movie star." His "good fortune" must have been a few years in film schoolGood character people envy the evil spirit. The media interviewed said that although Sebastian had no formal and systematic education, he was actually quick and articulate. And he is not because of the hardships of life inferiority and complaining, but proudly said himself and his companions are "waste recycling workers." "Many people in the world ignore the existence of rubbish, disregard the role of waste utilization, and of course ignore our presence and even despise our personalities," he said. The film tells the world that we are fighters, brave and upright workers. We are proud to feed ourselves with our hands. "Of course, the competition of various kinds of films this year," rubbish dump "can finally hold the" Golden Man ", it is difficult to predict. But painter Muniz said to Reuters: "Sebastian is the center of the story, without him, there is no film." I've decided to go to Hollywood with him and attend an Oscar ceremony. Winning or not, Sebastian is our ' hero ', and he deserves to be honored. "However, Sebastian has to face the U.S. Immigration Service." He had submitted a tourist visa application to a U.S. agency abroad, but was accidentally rejected. As the time is getting closer to the ceremony, Muniz and other people are helping him to seriously prepare documents and financial guarantee, continue to apply, and potential in must, and strive to send Sebastian on time on the red carpet Oscar.
