I made up for the film "The Reluctant Fundamentalist in Lahore Teahouse", which was released in 12 years, because of Riz Ahmed. He just ran into the old man Hopkins who was unlucky and missed the little golden man. The performance in "Voice of Metal" is good enough, and even the film itself is somewhat customized for the performance award, which is a pity.
Female director, ethnic minority, topical, this film is expected to be more influential if it is put now. The role of Ahmed is done quite well. The story itself has a look and feel that is relatively rare in movies nowadays-like...um...Read 1 A best-selling novel, or a long reportage. The last time I had a similar feeling was watching Wu Siwei's "The Half of It", a kind of texture of a best-selling youth novel, which is warm and healing. Similarly, there is no excitement and there is no movement during the awards season, alas...
What is precious is that they are not in a hurry to export, they do not sell excitement, and they are patient and patient.
In retrospect, from the 1990s to the early 2000s, movies with this quality were still the mainstream. Although this literary tone is also a best-selling literary attribute, it still pursues the interpretation of the complex world and human nature, requiring the audience to voluntarily sit quietly in the theater. Hours, just like at that time, best-selling literature still has literary attributes. It requires you to have at least the patience and... the courage to finish reading a book. That phenomenal "stimulus 1995" awards season represented the pinnacle of this trend. This is the most energetic form of mainstream movies I can think of.
Perhaps it was the emergence of Twitter (Weibo) that all this began to change. The intense and stimulating one-sided output became the mainstream. The supremacy of traffic affects everything from the basic creation logic. It is getting harder and harder for us to see such works. For example, we are increasingly unable to read more than 140 texts.
