The Cannes Film Festival is known for standing ovations and sometimes tears from the audience after screenings.
This is not a show.
The detective didn't have much reaction after watching the best "The Thief" in Cannes.
But there is a movie detective who really burst into tears after watching it, and just wanted to say: This movie should only exist in the sky!
At the Cannes Film Festival, after the film was screened, the audience stood up for more than 8 minutes, with tears in the eyes of the director and the audience.
The film is "The Happy Lazaro", which won the best screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival.
The title and posters are all bland, the director is not famous, and the starring is an amateur, so it is easy to be ignored at first glance.
But many people who have seen it put it in the top ten of the year (including the detective) !
On Rotten Tomatoes, "Happy Lazzaro" has a high freshness rating of 89% .
On the demanding Metascore, it scored 82, with 2 out of 11 outlets scoring 100.
Director Alice Rohrwacher (Alice Rohrwacher), an Italian young female director, is not well-known.
Domestic audiences are more familiar with her younger sister , Alba Rohrwacher, who played a young woman in the high-scoring drama "Perfect Stranger."
Alice is a screenwriter , "Happy Lazzaro" is her third feature film.
The first two works, "The Eucharist" and "The Miracle", were well received in Cannes, and "Miracle" also won the Cannes Jury Prize.
The male protagonist, Adriano Tardiolo, is a high school student who is just 20 years old this year.
Those who met him described him as having "eyes as clear and clean as the sky" .
He was selected from more than a thousand people at a glance, mostly because of his clear and flawless eyes.
And after watching this film, you will never forget this angelic face.
"Happy Lazzaro" is a fantasy film, and its story is simple but shocking and moving.
The detective even felt that everyone should stop and watch this movie.
Because it exposes a simple yet profound problem:
Can a good man survive now?
Do good people have a taste?
Lazaro gives the definition.
Someone kneels when they see him, not because he's a good guy, but because he hasn't gotten old at all over the decades.
It starts with a place called Inviolata .
It is isolated from the world, and people maintain a primitive farming life.
In Italian, Inviolata means "untouchable" or "pure and pristine place".
The people here are all slaves of a nobleman, and they work every day except for work.
Lazaro was the most capable one, and people could be heard shouting "Lazaro" everywhere.
But people called him not because they liked him, but because they wanted him to help.
"Lazaro, don't be stunned, move the box to the back!"
"Lazaro, bring grandma up!"
"Lazaro, go catch that hen!"
But Lazaro is happy because as long as he sees other people happy, he is happy.
He is always helping others unconditionally, even if his kindness is not valued but exploited:
He asked his friend if he wanted to taste his own food. The friend said he was not hungry, so he fed the dog.
As a result, the dog does not eat.
Someone asked him to help with the vigil on the carnival night, and he readily agreed.
The man ran and ate and drank, and sang and danced.
The man said it would be fine to call him back in a while, but no one answered Lazaro's call.
He stared at the starry sky alone, and made an excuse for that person: he couldn't hear it at all.
It's like aristocratic slave owners say: everyone is exploiting others.
"I exploit them, and they exploit the weaker, this is a food chain that can never be stopped."
The purest and kindest person becomes the one at the bottom of the food chain.
But Lazaro never showed any sadness.
On the contrary, he always stares at those big clear eyes, waiting to help you at any time.
In the director's words: His way of understanding the world is simple and simple, and he doesn't know that there is evil in addition to goodness, so he has always been happy.
But not knowing doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Lazaro has the purest good, but experiences the most chilling evil.
It rained one day, everyone ran to take shelter from the rain, and no one cared about Lazaro.
He was ill, his forehead was burning hot.
When someone offered to make room for him so he could rest, the response of the person he usually helped was "Go away!"
Lazaro has a friend.
This man was the son of a noble woman.
Although he is also bossy towards Lazaro, he explains to Lazaro that "they are brothers" .
You see we are like brothers, we are as tall. My dad is a playboy, maybe while your mom was doing laundry by the river, my dad happened to be leading the horse to drink water, and then they got to know each other and we became brothers.
To help the brother, Lazaro falls off a cliff.
"Wolf" appears for the first time in the film.
As in the opening story, it dashes towards Lazaro, sniffing and sniffing, and finally, it leaves quietly.
At this time, the deception of the nobles was discovered.
It turned out that noble women kept Inviolata isolated and civilization stagnated in order to squeeze labor.
Dozens of slave households in Inviolata were rescued.
When people are out of the sea of misery, there is only a little girl who thinks of Lazaro.
No one went to call Lazaro.
Only a miracle appeared, and when Lazaro woke up, thirty years had passed.
His eyes are still clear, walking in an industrial society where snow is everywhere and extremely cold, and no one cares.
A woman recognized him, and this woman was the only girl who thought of Lazzaro back then.
She took Lazaro to the humble "jeep camp" where fellow villagers from Inviolata lived.
Although they were rescued, they still lived on the fringes of society.
People can't believe their eyes
Lazaro was as enthusiastic and helpful as ever.
Even if you get it, it is still rejection and rejection.
Lazaro came back like God, making this group of hungry people realize that there is a lot of food to eat on the earth.
They don't have to steal, they don't have to rob, they don't have to exploit each other.
As long as we work together, work together, and water the earth, we can have food.
Unintentionally, Lazaro finds the man who once called him "brother" .
It was Lazaro's happiest day.
The brother of that year has become a white-haired old man
Drag Zaro's blessing, they reunite again, put aside their differences and become friends.
The "brothers" also invited them to be guests in their own homes.
This group of people who didn't eat this meal didn't just dress up carefully.
Also took out 81 euros to buy high-end desserts as gifts.
However, they ate a closed door.
The banquet is just another hoax by the "noble brothers".
The sisters of the "brothers" said they couldn't get enough to eat themselves, and that they couldn't invite anyone to dinner, and that the bank took everything from them.
She drove the group away, and she had the cheek to ask them to keep the gifts in their hands.
They hesitated for a second and left the high-end dessert to the "brother".
They once only cared about themselves, but now they finally learned Lazaro's kindness and began to be scruples and consider others.
They went home disappointed. Although they were deceived and their relationship ended in vain, they were full of hope in their hearts.
They are determined to return to Inviolata to rebuild their home together.
This time, they didn't forget Lazaro.
Only this time, the always happy Lazaro shed tears alone.
The next day, Lazaro came to the bank alone and asked the bank to return everything.
This strange and silly boy was regarded as a terrorist by everyone and was beaten to death.
The isolated old times and the society that established modern civilization could not tolerate this kind saint.
A man who was reluctant to bite by a wolf died at the feet of his fellow human beings.
Lazaro fell, and the wolf reappeared.
It turned around, turned away from the modern society with many chimneys and a lot of traffic, and ran farther and farther...
"Happy Lazzaro" is romantic and sharply surreal.
It doesn't make people cry, but it makes your heart cry.
There is a magic touch in the film, which can make people feel the tears of happiness in Lazaro's heart.
After being chased away by the "brothers", they followed the beautiful music to the holy church , and the nuns chased them away on the grounds that "this is a private place" .
The musician sat down and played the piano again, and the music flew away.
The nun exclaimed "Oh my God! Where is it going? Close the window!"
But nothing could stop it, and it flew to the crowd, who exclaimed: What a beautiful music!
They accepted and believed Lazaro, and from selfishness to kindness, they were qualified to listen to this music.
And some people don't deserve it!
The film caused a strong reaction in Cannes, and at the Cannes Film Festival press conference, fans and reporters asked many tough questions.
For example: Who is Lazaro?
Director Alice replied: He is like Jesus, a god, but he is just a pure and kind person, his kindness and innocence transcend time and space. Whether in old times or in new societies, he keeps coming back to remind people of these sacred and noble qualities.
Adriano added that he didn't understand the character at first.
Suddenly one day he understood: Lazaro was always innocent and happy on the outside, but in fact he was crying all the time.
And the day he understood the character, it rained on the set.
The reporter asked the director: If you had Lazaro's ability to travel through time and space, where would you travel?
The director thought about it for a long time and couldn't decide.
Finally: I actually love this time, it's a tough time, but I'm curious to see if it will get better in the future.
The Inspector wanted to end with a question and answer.
The reporter asked the director: Do you think the innocence and kindness of Lazaro still exist in modern society?
After the question was asked, the audience fell silent.
Director Alice hesitated: ...the quality is good, but it's hard to believe it exists...
Male supporter Sergi Lopez was not satisfied with this answer.
He took the microphone and said two words:
You have to believe.
Innocence and kindness never die!
----The End----
