良心做事
现在的人我觉得不是没有智慧没有能力，而是良心被狼吃了。
之前不知道从什么地方看到过某人问Aamir Khan，拿了很多奥斯卡奖项的《贫民窟的百万富翁》是不是他制片的。AK说，那根本不是印度电影。当时我不明白那到底是什么意思。后来我才知道原来那是一部英国制片的电影而AK的电影《地球上的星星》正是同一年和那玩意交锋。因为种种原因，被印度官方推荐上去的《星星》最终无法进入那一年奥斯卡的提名名单。不火就有鬼了！印度人和英国人的关系，你懂的。印度人居然被英国代表去参加奥斯卡且拿了N个奖，而真正的印度片甚至无法登上提名榜单。作为一个局外人，作为一个外国人，尼玛我心里也很有气啊啊啊！！！如果是外国人拍中国人的故事，你觉得我们会觉得不别扭？外国人观察研究得怎么细致都好（可能根本没有这么严谨呢），表观的东西可以有，但内在的，我们这些天朝人一看就觉得不对味了。关于《贫民窟的百万富翁》，我不知道AK和他的印度同胞是怎么看的，在看过几部印度电影（纯粹原产的）后，我觉得印度很多东西很糟糕、非常糟糕，但作为一部电影，你们不应该只把糟糕留给别人，糟糕可以有，但也应该给人希望和指引。我看过AK主演的6部印度电影，2部他挂了，3部可以算是悲剧结尾，但这完全不影响电影给人向上的感染力啊好吗！并不是说不能悲剧收场，而是你们不能把问题就扔在那里，讽刺批判完就晾在那里、让别人看着办。一个负责任的人应该把解决方法，起码是解决的思路告诉指引别人好吗！婴孩饿了病了或者有什么要求就只会哭，但成年人啊，你哭破喉咙都没人会管你的！
今早认真地跳读完了英文wiki上的Taare Zameen Par资料。一部电影而已，居然可以有那么详尽的东西，我真的挺惊讶。因为那不只有演员名单故事梗概，还有很多制作电影前后的幕后故事。
其中关于《地球上的星星》和《贫民窟的百万富翁》在上2009年奥斯卡大战的资料我看出几把火了！
2009 Academy Awards submission and Slumdog Millionaire
Taare Zameen Par was initially acclaimed as India’s official entry for the 2009 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film,[19][95][96] but after it failed to progress to the short list, a debate began in the Indian media as to why Indian films never win Academy Awards.[97] Speculation for the reasons behind Taare Zameen Par’s failed bid included Rediff.com’s Arthur J. Pai’s observation that it lacked mainstream media attention;[98] AMPAS jury member Krishna Shah criticised its length and abundance of songs.[99]
“Three days before Chandni Chowk hit theaters in the U.S. and India, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its shortlist of nine films edging closer to a foreign-language nomination. India’s submission, the powerful and moving Taare Zameen Par by Aamir Khan, didn’t make the cut. Sadly, that film never will be seen by mainstream American audiences; yet Chandni Chowk is enjoying a hefty publicity push. If only Taare Zameen Par could have gotten its hands on that magic potato.” — American film critic Lisa Tsering in The Hollywood Reporter.[100]
Khan claimed that he was “not surprised” that Taare Zameen Par was not included in the Academy Award shortlist,[101] and argued, “I don’t make films for awards. I make films for the audience. The audience, for which I have made the film, really loved it and the audiences outside India have also loved it. What I am trying to say is that film has been well loved across the globe and that for me it is extremely heartening and something that I give very high value to.”[102]
The Indian news media also frequently compared Taare Zameen Par’s nomination failure with the British Slumdog Millionaire’s multiple Academy Award nominations and wins,[103][104] and noted that other Indian films in the past were overlooked.[105] Film critic Rajeev Masand argued that it is difficult to compare the two films and noted that Slumdog Millionaire was being marketed in a way that Indian films such as Taare Zameen Par could not compete with.[106] In this context, Slumdog Millionaire actor Mahesh Manjrekar stated, “I’m sad that Aamir’s Taare Zameen Par didn’t make it to the final round of the Oscars. I thought it to be way better than Slumdog [Millionaire]…, without taking away anything from Boyle and the kids. But, Indian movies are underestimated there.”[107]
“不为拿奖而电影，为观众而电影”，光是这种良心足以让我成为AK电影的死忠。认真看过wiki的资料后，你会明白这部AK第一次当导演的电影他花了多少心思进去。首先，电影的主题是绝对够格向上的，剧本写得很好，余下的东西就要靠导演怎么把编剧的意图通过镜头表现出来。我觉得AK的思路一定是“我怎么才能把这个表现到最好？让观众感动入戏？”而不是“那些主流绅士评委们的口味到底是如何？”。学生时代的xrspook绝大多数情况下是个可忽略的普通人，因为我从来不去思考老师们到底想怎样，尤其是从来不去想语文老师和英文老师到底喜欢什么类型的写作风格。我只是把我想表达的东西表达出来，如果有时间去斟酌，我会尽量用我觉得最好的方式去output。如果自己做出来的东西，连自己那一关都过不了，自己都觉得无存在感挺恶心的话，凭什么那玩意能打动别人。不是人人都会喜欢我的东西，但我自信总有人在看过以后产生强烈的共鸣。
凭良心做事，做最好的自己！
