Although the film festival still has its usual drawbacks, the Golden Bear award to the Iranian film "Neda and Westminster: A Farewell" is also expected. The film not only gains the Golden Bear, the male and female protagonist all Fengti, sealed, three items rewarded in the International Film Festival is very rare. Last year the Venice Film Festival judges Quentin Tarantino's call to "break one award" is still in the ear, the Berlin Film Festival is bold to create a precedent.　　This is a protest of the quality of most of the films in the film Festival, but also the old "Berlin Film festival" in the cracks in the bold turn. As a film festival just after the 60 birthday last year, after a "mid-life crisis", the Berlin Film festival slowly stepped into its middle-aged and old. Although the Berlin Film Festival has unearthed a number of masters in history, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuang, Wang, Quan, the Chinese shadow from Berlin has also popularized the bear's cultural influence in China, but in terms of bold innovation or artistic achievement, Berlin is still difficult to compete with Cannes and Venice. In addition to the red carpet dim, the overall Flat competition unit, in recent years, the Golden Bear no surprises and so on, the Berlin Film Festival as it held the season, is experiencing a cold winter.　　This reporter was invited to Berlin by the "Berlin Film Festival" special sponsor Grasuti Watch, which is not only a journey of film culture, but also a journey of history and culture.　　Scene 1 to defend the "new decade"? The temperature of February 10 in Berlin is approaching 0 degrees, at the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, the brilliance of the stars did not cause the temperature to soar, and the big stars on the red carpet were few, and the "Earth Thunder" crew became the biggest star on the red carpet of the day, and the designated "fireman" Madonna was not late until 13th.　　Stars on the red carpet are like jewelry to women, although the dim starlight has always been the "convention" of the Berlin Film Festival, but it does seem to be stretched. Not only the stars, but also the lineup of the film Film Festival not so much gas. In line with the European Film Festival's consistent stance, more than half of the 22 films in the film Festival are from Europe and the number of entries is far less than in the last film festival. Some of the most promising films, such as David Conamberg's "Dangerous Method" of the life of Freud and Jung, and the new film "The Tree of Life" directed by Terrence Malik, have been diverted to Cannes for various reasons, such as not having finished filming as expected. The lack of blockbusters has forced the media and fans to turn their attention to the DogsThe Director of Hungary and Iran with a clumsy name. In the face of the horror, the film festival president Kosrik calmly explained: "The 61st session of the film festival means we are in a new decade, as long as the film is wonderful enough, we are certainly willing to choose those young, not familiar with the director works." I do not want to repeat the past every year, we also want to survive. We fight for cultural diversity, just as we defend the diversity of food. "2 Chinese movies on the spot there is a" Berlin complex ", as Kosrik, president of the film festival, said to fight for" cultural diversity, to open up territory for new directors ", from Zhang Yimou to Quan, from the fields to the Wang, A group of young directors who were originally unknown in the country were the first to gain international fame on this piece of European land. However, at the 61st annual Berlin Film festival, Chinese directors were not only not with the Golden Bear, but even the Chinese faces were rare in the venue. Even though Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have films entering Berlin, but are not the main competition unit, not for the award-winning only for selling films, only Zhao Liang's guide to the anti-discrimination AIDS documentary "Together" into the panorama unit of the situation, but ultimately because it was evaluated as "weak foundation, content of rambling" can only be heavy in the participation. In the "New Generation unit" of the "Crystal Bear" competition, Zhang Yimou's film "Hawthorn Tree Love" eventually lost to the U.S. film "On the Ice" failed to take the "Crystal Bear". The award module was set up for children and youth films, and last year Hong Kong director Cheung won the prize by virtue of the thief of the years.　　But Chen in an interview with reporters, said "Zhao Orphan" promising, many overseas buyers have been thrown olive branch. Last year, there were two new films by Zhang Yimou and Quan in the Berlin Film Festival, and the vacancy in Chinese films this year was more unconventional.　　But there are many Chinese faces in the market, Chan brought the "martial arts" and "blood", Shi responsible for the release of the studio will push Jet Li starring the "White Snake" and "Longmen flying Armour", Wong Kar-wai's "a Master" poster was on the streets of Berlin, has not finished filming has begun to yell. Scene 3 "Literary 3D" big outbreak than the competition piece unit "Taste light", for most of the media, movie goers and fans who go to the Berlin Film Festival, there will definitely be a "forgotten Cave of Dreams" and "Pina" in the list of major hot choices for the film. First of all, they are of noble family, respectively, for the hand of Herzog and Wenders.　　The former tells of the Gianwe Cave in the south of France, 30,000 years ago, the exquisite rock paintings of ancient mankind, the latter simply is the master standing on the shoulders of the master, Wenders in the form of documentary shows the German national treasure class dancer Bausch stage representative. In addition to playing Master card, the two films combined with the French animation industry heavyweight character Michel Ossello 3D animation "Night Story" together to make "literary 3D" has become the biggest feature of the Berlin Film Festival this year. In an interview with the actress, Herzog said that although he had openlyPrefer film technology, but this does not prevent the use of 3D technology to achieve better film effects.　　As for the art of photography, and the sense of the picture and philosophy of the perfect fusion of the Wenders early on 3D eager, in the interview with the reporter, Wenders said Pina is his dream for many years, after a long gestation and choupai process, the director finally realized that only 3D technology can fully present the real charm of the dancer. Golden Bear Award for Best Film: "Neda and Westminster: A parting" is a triumph of the film and a triumph of political victory for the winner of the landslide victory in Berlin this year belongs to Iran. First Iranian director Panahi was sanctioned by the government and has been selected as a competition unit judge but unable to travel to Berlin. The Berlin Film festival immediately to show solidarity, the organizing committee at the scene prepared a "Panahi" affixed to the name of the empty chair to support. In a subsequent media interview, the chairman of the jury, Isabella Rossilini, said: "This empty chair is more of a topic than Panahi." "In the end, Iranian director Asha Fahati's film" Neda and Westminster: a Parting "(hereinafter referred to as" parting ") received three awards including Best film, Best Actor and best actress.　　The bureau's move ushered in the International Mainstream film festival, awarding three awards to the same film. "Parting" tells the story of two ordinary families who have been troubled by a conflict. Around the broken family, women's humble, religious clamping, "parting" indifferent outline of Iran's social status quo. Director Asha Fahati has won the 59 best director of the Berlin Film Festival by virtue of "about Ellie". Despite the fact that the film was far ahead during the film festival, it is feared that a lot of people are questioning the "how many political factors have been grafted into the film". The Berlin Film Festival, which has always played a political card, with particular preference for women, is hard to escape from the Berlin rules. In an interview after the award, Asha once again expressed his position: "Thanks to the Berlin Film Festival, it has expressed its support for Iran in the most practical and valuable way."　　"Best Film Golden Bear Award: Neda and Westminster: a parting" I'm not a hero, I'm not a politician, I'm just a film Reporter: Under what circumstances do you think you want to shoot such a movie? Asha: When I was writing a screenplay in Berlin a few years ago, I suddenly heard the sound of Iranian music outside. I try to control myself not to think about Iran, but I can't do it, where people and things have been branded in my heart. During that time, I was thinking about Iran, both on the street and on the bus.　　Finally I went back, began to create the "Neda and Westminster," the script.　　Reporter: Why choose to start from the middle class perspective?　　Asha: As you know, Iran is a country that blends a variety of nationalities, cultures and social strata, and its social problems are very complex, the film is a reflection of the state of a certain class in Iran, I also try to use a more realistic way to make a group in Iran resonate. Reporter: In the movie, the daughter because can not sufferTo better education and choose to go abroad, the real young people in Iran face the same problem? Asha: In the future, there will be greater progress in the social status and education of Iranian women.　　But for my daughter this generation, everything is unknown, such as Neda and Westminster this generation of Iranians must also bear this part of the responsibility, whether to go to the west or stay in Iran, this difficult choice for them will cause some kind of harm.　　Journalist: How did Iran's director respond to censorship? Asha: In fact, we are also looking for new methods of filming, not against censorship, under its supervision, look for another way to express their ideas.　　I haven't considered censorship since I started filming, because I've considered all the questions when I write the script.　　Journalist: Would you rather take the risk of being put in jail and be free to make movies? Asha: I'm not a hero, I'm not a politician, I'm just a movie-making. I just wish I could say it in a movie when I have something to say.　　If I were to choose, I would rather be free to create without risking. Jury awards Silver Bear Award: "The Horse of Turin" Bella Tarr, the final "torture" at this Berlin Film festival, once again challenged the human limit except for Bella Tarr's long shot, as well as his real master pie.　　After all these years, the Hungarian director who directed the Satan Tango, the Whale Circus, was a weary, mean, obscure man who had never felt the world so good, but once again gained prestige in all his discontent. The Hungarian director Bella Tarr is famous for his long shot at the limit of his challenge and his stubborn character. His masterpiece, the 7-hour "Satan Tango" needs the audience to watch the night. Many viewers have given up even before the first long shot is over, because they think it must be jammed.　　Artistic Vane Sontag The film as the most classic in the past 15 years, the highest achievement of the film, guiding countless literary and artistic youth in the watercress to play 9.2 points high score. Beira's original ideal was to become a philosopher, just to make movies as a hobby. The "amateur philosopher" is clearly an alien in the film Circle, claiming he never contacts the film Circle in Budapest. "I don't even know what to say to them because I'm totally different from the way they live and think, they're movie makers, and I don't know what I am."　　"At the same time, Beira is also a large number of well-known director of the idol, Sant once said that his film has been greatly affected by the Bella Tarr, such as the extremely long shot of the extreme minimalist film Gary." "The Horse of Turin," The King of Berlin, the various media fear, quiet. Bella Tarr said it would be his last film as early as he filmed his last movie. Before the film was shown, he made a brief introduction: "One day, 1889 years, Nietzsche saw a horse who was unwilling to go forward and was whipped by the coachman." Nietzsche rushed forward to stopThe atrocity, and hugged the horse's neck and began to weep. After that, he spent the last ten years of his life lying on his couch, silent.　　"The introduction, the audience has been a round of applause, in the reporter's view this is also the only just appeared in the subtitle has been the full applause of the film, and then the audience is like a pupil generally pious endure the director of torture tortured." In the view of movie-Queen, the journalist can objectively say that the film has nothing to do with Nietzsche, and this 146-minute film repeats the story of a father and his daughter and a horse's life in 6 days. The characters were dressed in tattered clothes, repeatedly eating boiled potatoes with their hands every day, fetching water, washing bowls, chopping wood and feeding horses. Beira fans will quickly find the rhythm they need and immerse themselves in the film. But the ordinary audience may still be difficult to escape the sense of boredom, each small branch of the plot is like the director of the audience a great gift, even meaningless dialogue let the viewer get a moment of slack.　　In fact, in terms of the shadow difficulty factor, this can only be called an entry-level film for Beira, and 2.5 hours in the long run is not comparable to his previous masterpiece. The film was released in the film Festival, the world's mass media into silence, even the love to write a review of the French people are only focused on the plot description and the introduction of the shooting method of irrelevant. It is a great work of art, or a collective mockery of the film critics and the audience, who are unwilling to advance their position. The jury will only be able to give the Silver Bear award to the film in a conservative way. Bella Tarr is also the only one who refused to give the acceptance speech of the winners, took the prize to go, as if to say more than a gift to the media. After he stepped down, he told reporters that he had sold the Silver Bear Trophy, and that after the film he would devote all his energy to painting. This life is the attitude of the work also makes Beira the film festival has the fewest mirror rate director.
