Chapter 53: Viewing Experience
...this is my opinion, I hope it answers your question. Thank you!
Bella nodded and sat down politely. She already got the answer she wanted.
After Lehman answered a few more questions one after another, the staff at the scene came over to remind him that he was going to prepare for the screening of the next movie.
All good things come to an end.
The question-and-answer session also came to an end. Lehmann picked up the microphone again, looked at the audience in front of him, and said sincerely:
First of all, I am very grateful to the audience who came to the scene and watched the movie patiently. How can I say it, thank you again for your support.
The applause rose again, and everyone responded politely.
Secondly, I would like to thank my crew members, it is our team as a whole, with the concerted efforts, today's film will be born...
After one testimonial was delivered, the screening was over.
After watching the movie, the audience began to leave one after another.
How about it?
George looked at Lyman in front of him, and the smile on his face could not be concealed.
It's a good start, and I hope this effect can be maintained in the future.
Although at the very beginning, it was Europa Films who asked Lehmann to cooperate with the show of the film at the Sundance Film Festival to gain publicity. It also allowed Three Silly Trouble in Bollywood to win tickets to be shown in the official exhibition hall. ; but now it seems to have achieved a very good feeling after the release - the audience is very satisfied, very enthusiastic about the film.
This is a good thing for both Lehmann and Europa Pictures.
I think this time is very dramatic. George said, slowly nodded and said, Maybe I can win an award or something.
Lehman shook his head and showed a modest smile, This is just the first screening. It's still too early. And I'm already worried about the movie reviews in major newspapers tomorrow.
At the end of the day, Lehman is still in the dark.
Although according to the performance of the audience just now, the movie has been loved and affirmed by everyone, but this did not make Lyman be carried away by the joy and feel that the dust has settled.
George patted Lyman on the shoulder and said with a smile: I don't think you need to worry about this, we have arrangements at Europa Pictures.
It means that the film critics have already said hello and will try their best to say something nice for the film.
After chatting a few times with each other and greeting the staff who showed the movie, the five people also left the venue and returned to the hotel where they stayed.
Lying on the bed, Lyman was still a little worried.
Because he knows that today's premiere is just the beginning, the critics' comments are one aspect, and the most important thing is the situation after the work is officially launched in various theaters.
To put it bluntly, in this day and age, are there still few movies with rave reviews but poor market performance?
Even if it can win the grand prize of the Sundance Film Festival, it is just to play a publicity role for the release of the film.
The most important thing is to see the market acceptance.
Therefore, even if there is a reaction from the audience after watching it, the result is very gratifying. Everyone seems to like it, and Lyman is still not blindly arrogant.
Let's see what happens next. Lehman thought so, and quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The audience's question-and-answer session in front really made him exhausted, and after the end, he was not in a good mood.
At the same time, when Bella returned to the hotel, she picked up the manuscript paper and began to prepare to write a film review.
This is her job, contributing to the festival's media newspaper.
But she grabbed the pen in her hand, and for a long time, she didn't know where to start.
There is so much to write about in this movie.
At a superficial level, Three Silly Troubles in Bollywood satirizes the Indian education system - students only know how to learn, but they don't know how to use it, and they can't get happiness from the knowledge they learn.
Isn’t such a topic profoundly meaningful? Seeing that Laga and the seniors were under heavy pressure and oppressed to the point of despair of committing suicide, doesn’t it satisfy the benefits of the U.S.’s implementation of career education, allowing students to freely choose their life goals? , In contrast, it is a secret blow to the American education system, so that everyone can get a sense of psychological satisfaction from watching this movie. Look, the garbage education in backward countries is really pitiful.
It also inspires sympathy from the audience, which is great.
This is not speculation. The emergence of a topic is always accompanied by two voices. The current situation of Indian education, especially in the film, is so depressing. It also shows the arrogant written examination system that determines whether a student can graduate or not. It's to excite the audience.
Because there is always a kind of contrasting schadenfreude that prevails.
Haha, I am miserable, but you are worse than me, and I suddenly feel a lot more balanced. Isn't that enough.
But Bella didn't want to write about it.
As the director said when answering the question, the formation of a region's education system is greatly implicated in social factors, cultural customs, and other aspects.
Just pure criticism, is it really okay?
Perhaps when the educational resources of the United States are as tight as India, and there are too many class conflicts, and the social economy is in recession, it may not be better than India.
This unfair comparison is quite meaningless.
Rather than telling the story of what happened at Imperial University of Technology, the film is more about using such a perspective to objectively tell the concept of Indian education and the structure of such a system.
This kind of thinking will exist all over the world, and the issue of education has always been a concern of all mankind.
Bella repeatedly wanted to reveal something deeper. She carefully recalled the feeling of watching the movie, but she couldn't grasp that feeling.
She suddenly thought of the amusement of various comedy burdens in the first half of the movie. At that time, she was very comfortable watching it.
Thinking of this, she suddenly had inspiration.
Bella picked up the pen and began to write.
I went to see 'Three Silly in Bollywood' today and got a lot.
The movie talks about a lot of issues...
1. Students commit suicide.
2. The class gap.
3. Money worship.
4. Cramming education.
Of course, I may not have understood it thoroughly, but I know very well that these are some of the opinions I have after watching this movie.
In India, a human life has been tagged since the day it was born.
It will decide whether you are a human or a so-called untouchable.
Their national conditions are like this, and the limited material foundation and educational resources are prone to many problems in the face of the exponentially growing population.
Of course, even knowing some of these issues, I couldn't do much.
I can only selectively ignore these, why should anyone worry about things that are not related to them.
But after watching a movie like this, there will always be something that presses on my chest and doesn't vomit unpleasantly.
I totally find it a respectable movie.
At least it can bring me moving and many meaningful truths or phenomena.
1. Many people want to do what they want to do, but the arrival of this process is always not so satisfying.
2. In the play, Lancher always likes to put the sentence All is well on his lips. Although this sentence does not seem to solve any problems, it can give people the courage to face these problems. , so there will be the problem itself is not the problem, how to view the problem is the problem. This sentence, I think it is quite right.
3. Memorization cannot reap the joy of learning, and learning is not for the pursuit of results, but to enjoy the process, to do good things with inaction, to strive for self-excellence, and success will come Unintentionally catch up with you.
4. There is a kind of life in which you live step by step according to the established requirements and standards. Everyone thinks your life is right, but you are not happy. There is another kind of life that is your choice direction. Opinions, but you are in the planning process, follow this, you will be very happy, the movie tells us this multiple-choice question, and what kind of life do you want.
Maybe the above is just a rough idea of what I got, and everyone doesn't agree, but so what?
The two hours of watching the movie made me feel great. Some of the wonderful clips in it are still deeply imprinted in my mind. This may be the magic of this movie. Like a seed, it is rooted in us. In my heart, I accumulated strength and waited for the day to break out of the ground.
At this point, Bella paused, nodded affirmatively at last, and continued to write.
There was so much she wanted to say.
I've said so much, I've understood a lot, but I can't change much. India, the country I know a little bit about, will something happen to me because of what I said? It's impossible. This is the In such a world, many people of insight have been born, but we are still struggling to distribute wealth fairly? Why is there a class problem that benefits the few at the expense of the many? age, or are there people suffering from poverty?”
People say that it is poverty that requires more wealth creation.
But in fact the problem is not that there are not enough resources in the world, there are enough things in the world to meet the needs of the world.
Just maybe as the saying goes: no one can satisfy everyone's greed.
The injustice of distribution comes from this.
So be it.
My understanding of watching this movie is that being able to harvest such a line, a scene, and a scene can make my heart tremble and arouse some thinking, even if it is just three minutes of enthusiasm, it is enough.
because,
three minutes of heat,
Three minutes to think, three minutes to contribute.
If you can't change anything, take a look inside yourself.
In the end, she wrote the title of the review, We All Want to Be Great.
