“The screening of "Breaking Drummer" has just begun, and the infighting during the awards season has already begun at a rapid pace, which also confirms the high attention of this work..
Obviously, "Cracking Drummer" has become an unknown factor in this year's awards season.
Hollywood industry rumors and "New Yorker" special reports intertwined, and the social network frenzy became the fuel to fan the flames. The craze gradually climbed up, and it became the most watched awards season film in early December; and the first week of screenings The movie-watching craze has triggered countless discussions.
From the long queues 48 hours in advance, to the controversy over ticket scalpers, to the lively night chats held by candlelight after the movie, "Breaking Drummer" created countless news during the screening stage, and then major media comments were released one after another. This is also Pushing the film's expectations to the highest level since Sundance.
"Explosion Drummer", which is still highly praised after being baptized by multiple film festivals, withstood the final test when the media review was officially released..
Previously, the Sundance Film Festival's comprehensive media rating was as high as 95 points. Now, after more than 49 media scores, the final comprehensive media rating of "Breaking Drummer" has been fixed at 92 points. This is still the highest score in 2014. One of the best, its current score is second only to the annual hit "Boyhood" - this work has been rated by 39 professional media, and it still maintains a perfect record of 100% in the media's comprehensive evaluation.
After entering December, there are still three weeks left in the registration deadline for the awards season, which also means that the seeded contestants will make their debut one after another, but so far a large number of potential winning works have emerged, which is dazzling, overwhelming, and looming. Showing off the style of "a good year for films".
“"Sister Ida", "Two Days and One Night", "Selma Parade", "Hibernation", "Citizen 4", "Birdman", "Sex/Inherent Evil", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Foxcatcher" , "The Theory of Everything", "The Imitation Game", "Gone Girl", "Into the Wild"...etc., etc., this is a long list, and when the first stage of competition has just begun, the candidates are really There are too many to count, and they cannot be easily counted..
In a kaleidoscope of competing schools of thought, "Boyhood" easily stands out and is undoubtedly the leader so far..
“"Boyhood" became the eighth film in history to receive perfect scores from media reviews. The previous seven were "Citizen Kane", "Blue, White and Red Trilogy: Red", "Vertigo", "Rear Window", "Casablanca", "The Godfather", "Honey Trap". This is the seventh film in the entire long history, and it is also the first film in twenty years to achieve this after the "Blue, White and Red Trilogy: Red" in 1994. A feat of work that has undoubtedly become a hit of the year..
This work, shot by Richard Linklater, the director of the "Before Sunrise" trilogy, truly records the twelve years of a boy's growth from the age of six to the age of eighteen..
Richard Linklater truly recorded time with a camera, starting from May 2002 to August 2013, a full twelve years. He used a period of time every summer to complete the shooting. The real shooting time was actually There are only forty-five days, and the age changes of each actor are truly and delicately presented in front of the camera. In this way, the director tells the story of the growth of children and the power of time, and finally settles on life, describing the meaning of life in detail. Seemingly simple but actually powerful, this is undoubtedly a bold exploration of film art..
Once upon a time, no film company was willing to invest in the production of Richard Linklater's work. Even independent film production companies refused to take the risk if it were not for Ethan Hawke's support and cooperation. If Richard had convinced IFC Pictures, this work might not have come out..
IFC Films, founded in 2001, is a very, very small film production studio. Thirteen years after its establishment, the number of films produced still does not reach double digits. Their first film was a collaboration with Richard Linklater and "The Tape" with Ethan Hawke, and then released the Indian film "Monsoon" in North America - the latter won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival in 2001, which made the studio famous.
In the past thirteen years, most of the works produced by IFC Films are extremely niche, but there are also works such as "Fragments of April" and "The Love Song of Jack and Rose" that are niche but frequently mentioned during the awards season. , and "Boyhood" was a massive project they spent twelve years on.
Precisely because of the lack of confidence, lack of funds, and lack of publicity resources, IFC Films did not place much hope on the release of "Boyhood". From Sundance to Berlin, and then returned to North America, it participated in more than a dozen productions. film festival, trying to find a wider publicity channel, but unfortunately, without a gimmick like Renly Hall, "Boyhood" received relatively little attention at the film festival..
Of course, "Boyhood" has been loved by countless film critics at film festivals and has always received constant praise; but no large distribution company is willing to purchase such a "high-risk" work, and the film festival is not so courageous to award awards to such a "high-risk" work. A work with a "unique temperament", which also made the work's film festival tour seem relatively dull and failed to create more waves..
In the end, IFC Pictures made some mistakes and chose to officially release this work in July, with a small-scale public release..
As a result, unexpectedly, word-of-mouth gradually accumulated, and the movie was released all the way to the end of the year. The cumulative box office has successfully exceeded 20 million US dollars; more importantly, the media review reached a perfect 100 points, even Rotten Tomatoes The freshness index is also as high as 97%, and the mass media score is also as high as 9.3 points. It has undoubtedly become the reputation leader during the awards season. This has also become the most unique work this year..
Uniquely, "Boyhood" is leading awards season, and now, the only other film that can compare to "Boyhood" is not "Birdman," not "The Grand Budapest Hotel," not "The Imitation Game," But..."Explosion Drummer”.
At the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" won the Jury Prize, and its excellent reputation continued to the end of the year; at the Venice Film Festival in September, "Birdman" received unanimous praise from the North American media and became the number one film during the awards season. as a seed contestant; at the subsequent Toronto Film Festival, "The Imitation Game" defeated a number of strong opponents to win the People's Choice Award, winning the hearts of North American audiences..
However, none of the media reviews of the above works have been able to challenge the dominance of "Boyhood"——
“"The Grand Budapest Hotel", 88 points; "Birdman", 87 points; "The Imitation Game", 73 points.
Until the debut of "Blast Drummer", the expectations that had been accumulated since Sundance were finally released in the first week of December. The 92-point comprehensive media review made this work surpass all other films in one fell swoop. "Competitors" became the second work to break the 90-point threshold during the awards season, second only to "Boyhood", which directly changed the entire competitive landscape..
It also proves that Harvey Weinstein's concerns are not unfounded; it also proves that the "New Yorker" article appeared at the most ingenious moment - now that "Crack Drummer" has been unanimously praised by film critics , so will its awards season prospects be smooth sailing? If not, then……
The comprehensive media reviews only represent the opinions of professional media, and the high score of 92 points also continues Renly's consistent strength; while the Rotten Tomatoes score represents the views of the mass media: obviously, they also like Renly as always , and is not stingy with his words of praise.
A total of 288 media provided reviews, of which 269 were certified as fresh, with the final freshness index reaching 93%; the average score of mass media out of 10 settled at nine, basically the same as that of professional media. Comprehensive media review; the most incredible thing is the popcorn index——
Ninety-six percent！
How incredible is this number? Just list two works and you will know. The popcorn index of "Interstellar" is 85%, and the popcorn index of "Super Marines" is 92%. In other words, the average audience The level of liking and expectation for "Breaking Drummer" easily exceeds the two commercial movies, and even exceeds the family-friendly "Super Marines". This can only be described as "incredible".
Comparing with the popcorn index are theater scores and IMDB scores. However, because "Cracking Drummer" is currently in the screening stage, the theater scores cannot be rated. This has also focused all attention on IMDB. This work has lived up to expectations. It has aroused great reputation among enthusiastic movie fans..
Start at 8:70！
Just less than five months ago, "Interstellar" opened with 8.8 points on IMDB, strongly entering the top ten of IMDB's 250 masterpieces, creating the best of Renly's career, and now the movie's The score gradually began to fall, but it remained stable at 8:5, temporarily ranking 28th among the 250 masterpieces..
Then, "Exploding Drummer" turned out.
This small-budget independent work started with a super high rating of 8.7 points. However, due to insufficient number of ratings during the screening period, it has not been included in IMDB's list of 250 masterpieces. However, with such results, If calculated, the work can easily rank among the top twenty, equal to the scores of works such as "Forrest Gump", "Inception", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and "Goodfellas".
Although everyone knows that as the number of people rating increases, the scores will inevitably fluctuate, but within one year, Renly has dedicated two works with an IMDB score of 8.5 or above, which is very intuitive and very efficient for people to feel. to the arc of Renly's rise in reputation among both veteran and ardent fans..
From box office to word-of-mouth to image reputation, "Renly Hall" has truly become a brand! Such an incredible and excellent reputation has also become an advance preview of the box office explosion of "Breaking Drummer". The art theaters during the screening period instantly became the favorite places of North American people..
