As mentioned, I watched the live broadcast of the Oscars, and I have no idea why "Brokeback Mountain" won so many awards. What's wrong with the other four films?

First of all, your question is very controversial. It is located in Vancouver. I have seen all five films shortlisted for the Best Picture of this year's Olympic Awards. To be honest, some people just simply finish it after reading it. Maybe it’s because I didn’t think about it that deeply and couldn’t get the essence of the work. But I want to say that even the Oscars need to serve the general audience, because the judges are also an audience first, and the academy judges second. If there is no way to impress the audience within two hours, then I would say that the movie is actually a failure. It has no connotation, truth, moral significance or noble views. "

Sometimes, social topics and social phenomena are also a kind of vehicle for the director's thoughts and ideas. Just like Ang Lee said, he only shoots pure love movies, which implies a subtext: men and women, men and women, men and women, men and women, men and women, men and women, men and women. It doesn't really matter whether it's a girl or a girl or some other messy combination. When people fall in love together, it's pure love.

If you have to ask why "Brokeback Mountain" won the award, go to the movie first. Let’s talk. Even if you haven’t watched the movie, go to movie websites like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB to check the data, check the box office, and Google to see how many honors this movie has received before it won the Olympics.

Brother said it well, I will add two points. One: As a Chinese, Ang Lee has a diversified mind, which is something other Hollywood directors do not have. If anyone has more picky tastes than the Oscar judges, it must be the Chinese audience. It is very difficult to say yes to so many mouths at the same time, because the Oscar judges only need to vote, but the audience is. It’s hard to disagree. Ang Lee’s advantage is that he not only knows the market in Hollywood, but also knows how to achieve the best results through public relations and publicity under the premise of a large population base. You must know that not every Hollywood director understands the art of war. .

2: Overly deliberate interpretation and shooting techniques are actually very distorted. Returning to one's original nature may not be a fighting posture. Therefore, large-scale productions may not have the advantage, and cool special effects may not be as good as hand-cranked lenses. It makes people feel good. Of course, I am not criticizing "The Aviator" and praising "Million Dollar Baby". They are all excellent works. I just want to emphasize that the production cost, actor qualifications, and box office are not Oscar-worthy. The main criteria for judging. So, the comparison is still the same old stuff, no matter how fancy it is, it’s useless.

I don’t want to write thousands of words to evaluate any one. If a movie is good, whoever can attract more people to the cinema and get more people to leave positive comments and likes on the homepage is a good movie. It is a pity that Leonardo failed to compete for the best actor, but you did not see what he did. It represents the struggle of young actors. Vincent is ten years younger than Leonardo. He was nominated for Best Actor last year and won Best Supporting Actor directly this year. I don’t want to compare the two of them because it is meaningless. What I want to say is that a film background has some influence on actor awards. Obviously Vincent's overall performance in "Brokeback Mountain" is impeccable, and in comparison, Leonardo can have more There is a lot of room for improvement. This is another aspect of looking at the problem of overflow and deficit. There are already several buildings next door, so I won’t mention them all. I just want to mention here that you can’t escape.
