    "I had the honor to attend the premiere of "Winter's Bone" today. This movie is so damn good and exciting! It gets a full four-star rating and is highly recommended!"

    Ye Wei¡¯s twitter, 2006-12-9

    ¡ù¡ù

    "Why is the kiss scene gone?"

    On the afternoon of Sunday, the 10th, Ye Wei, Lily, Jennifer, Alicia, Gia, and Jenny went to bowling at Bowling More in Santa Monica.  He had made an agreement with Jennifer before about this bowling match, but he never had time to fulfill it until today.

    He originally wanted to act as a trio, but conditions did not allow it.  At this time, in the spacious arena where popping sounds were constantly heard, brother Gia and Jenny were playing on the side. For some reason, they met each other's eyes.  The four of them were playing 2vs2 on two fairways not far apart, and they were just recognized by other customers and signed autographs.

    Alicia was also very concerned about the questions Jennifer asked. She was so excited yesterday that she forgot about it.  The kissing scene between Ray and Gale walking in the woods was deleted. In the script, it was the scene before Gale went to visit Ray's mother in the house after arriving at Dolly's house.

    Ye Wei threw out the bowling ball in his hand, watched it roll away and hit the ball with a bang, he couldn't help but clenched his fist and said yes.  Then Jennifer answered: "Because it will ruin the atmosphere, you know, it's a bit sexy" Lily nodded with deep understanding.

    "Will it be included in the director's cut?" Jennifer asked again.

    "That's already the director's cut." Ye Wei spread his hands, "I'm still considering whether to put it into the DVD behind-the-scenes, what do you think?" Jennifer immediately said: "No!" Alicia nodded excitedly:  "Okay, such a meaningful paragraph." He hesitated: "It's better to hoard it as a golden fleece to benefit movie fans. I'll think about it again."

    "You think about it." Jennifer grabbed a red bowling ball and prepared to throw the first pitch of their third round.  Ye Wei affected her state and said: "Jenny, there is something I haven't told you." She stopped curiously: "What?" He sighed: "Dude originally wanted to guest star as Thumper Milton  ." She frowned: "Then"

    "Then I refused." Ye Wei said.

    "Oh my God!!!" Jennifer screamed frantically, jumping to her feet, "That's the Governor! Man, the Governor!!!" Damn it!  I could have acted opposite the Du Ye!  She raised the bowling ball in her hand, "I really want to hit you with this thing now!"

    "You think I don't want to? That's the Dude!" Ye Wei was also a little anxious, "But he is too famous and doesn't fit in with our cast, so we can only regret this time." Jennifer sighed and paid attention.  She walked around and threw out the bowling ball. With a bang, there were five pins left on both sides. She immediately cursed silently.

    "Hahaha!" Ye Wei laughed triumphantly and stretched out his palm to hit Lily.

    Lily was also amused. In the past two days, she could see that he had nothing to do with them. They felt different. They were all very nice people and worth making friends with.

    Alicia shot the second ball of this round seriously and knocked down 3 more pins.  But Jennifer was paying attention to Ye Wei and Lily's flirting. Well, her heartache wasn't that bad, it was just an illusion. It should be completely fine in a few days.

    That¡¯s good, good friends and good partners.  If you can't act in "Juno", you can't act in it. Let's act in a movie directed by viy!

    "Hey! Wei." Jennifer thought excitedly. She didn't want to be idle anymore, but also wanted to find another opportunity. She used a arrogant tone to cover up a little bit of embarrassment: "Whatever you shoot for your new project  Okay, as long as you ask me to act, you have priority to use my schedule."

    "My schedule is the same!" Alicia immediately followed after hearing this. Jane was still smart. If she didn't express her attitude quickly, she might lose it. Think about the internal competition, there are more than a dozen people.

    Not far away, Gia pricked up her ears.

    "Thank you." Ye Wei thanked you with a smile, looked at each other with Lily, and announced: "I don't have any new projects for the time being. Maybe I won't make movies for a long time. Yes, I will take an indefinite break from acting and work on football.  Athletes go, I am serious about playing in the Premier League next year.¡±

    Jennifer and Alicia were both stunned, is this a joke?  This is a joke, right?

    Lily was smiling, and there were two strange eyes looking at her Why are they both looking at me?

    ¡­¡­

    The w'sb premiere was reported by many entertainment media. Fans who were unable to attend the premiere but were following it checked the news everywhere and saw such things as "the audience responded enthusiastically" and "the applause lasted for a full 10 minutes" etc.  As the old saying goes, almost all premieres are like this, but the reviews from film critics and my own feelings about watching the movie are not necessarily like this.

    Online media also reported on Ye Wei¡¯s Twitter conversations. Some said he was extremely confident, while others questioned his pretentiousness, which was indispensable for the support of Weimi people and the abuse of Weihei people.

    The nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards on the 14th will be announced soon.?, in order to build momentum in advance, and since there will be no schedule conflicts with any movies in the three theaters in the first week starting from the 15th, w¡¯sb¡¯s film review release time will be Monday, the 11th.  Two days after its premiere, watchers around the world were stunned by its Rotten Tomatoes freshness.

    But there is more than one surprising thing. After the "Death of a Film Critic" closed its column, Ye Wei rewrote a long article in the film section of the "Los Angeles Times" on Monday.

    A w¡¯sb movie review written by myself!

    The ones who are most jealous are the future girls of SS and TLB, and the ones who are most excited are the Weimi people. The film critics must be saying, you just want to post a movie and talk about it, you don¡¯t have such fun

    ¡¾"Winter's Bone", ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï, Ye Wei, 2006-12-11

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????? Let¡¯s go to Feminist Film to stab radical feminism and see what happens.

    This independent film adapted from Daniel Woodrell's original work of the same name, produced, written, and directed by the bastard filmmaker Ye Wei, tells this story: Rui Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence) is a woman living in poverty in a certain country.  A 16-year-old girl from a mountainous area, she has two young brothers, her mother has mental illness, and her father is engaged in local family-style drug-making crimes.  He is on bail pending trial for another indictment. The court date is approaching, but he is missing.  In order to keep the house mortgaged by her father to the bail loan company, Rui can only embark on the road to find her father alone. Even if there are many difficulties, she must find her father or his bones to deal with criminals.

    "Winter's Bone" has a different blood flow from previous representative feminist films.  On the way to find his father, when the helper Uncle Tear (John Harkes) walked into a bar and was about to fight with gangsters, Rui's appearance prevented the violence from happening.  She doesn't use a killing spree as a way to solve problems, as in two 2003 films, "Kill Bill" and "The Devil Wears Prada."  Rui teaches her two younger brothers to "try not to fight." This common female perspective is not respected by feminist films. Fighting violence with violence is a lingering presence in this field, even for those with a warm and delicate female side.  The same goes for the classic Thelma and Louise (1991).

    ¡°What¡¯s interesting is that when feminists see a film that reduces women to sexual objects, they get very angry at the offense.  But when a film "John Rambo-izes" women, the offense is rarely noticed, and is even touted by radical feminism, as if only violence can demonstrate women's power.

    On the other hand, the absolute ugliness of male characters, the solid alliance of female characters and even the display of homosexual tendencies is another ghost of feminist films and is widely accepted.  In fact, this is not fundamentally different from the rules set by anti-feminist films such as "Normal People" (1980, Best Picture Oscar). The female characters are ugly and absolute, and all functions are negative. Their feminist appeal is to destroy the male spirit.  , and plunge society into chaos.

    These ideological ghosts that glorify one gender by vilifying the opposite sex do not appear in "Winter's Bone". There are men and women in Rui's father-finding alliance. They do not clearly provide positive and negative effects, but  It is an intertwined and complex body.  In the film, there are men who inflict cold psychological persecution on Rui, and there are also women who inflict physical violence on Rui.  This victim who lives in a patriarchal society and is helpless by traditional women and beaten by radical women is a realistic feminist.

    She demonstrates female power in an ordinary, real female way, as does her good friend: a teenage mother who got married early, Gail Lockran (Alicica Vikander).  They are what radical women call weak women.  This was fully demonstrated in the scene where Rui had to follow a group of female thugs who almost beat her to death to retrieve her father's body from the pond. She was responsible for holding her father's hand, crying in a daze, while the female thugs were responsible for cutting it off with a chainsaw.  , the whole process seemed like just picking my teeth.  Rui then handed over her father's hands to the male police. This kind of violence against men was not the feminist approach she wanted.

    "Winter's Bone" gives us an alternative, a woman who is not a busty twat, but also not a muscle-bound tough guy or an invincible hero like the classic "Uncompromising" (2000).  Rui finally completes her heroic mission, but the way to win is to fail.  The heroes here don't have that much ability. They are just ordinary people, struggling humbly in the quagmire of life. They have already been defeated by reality or were beaten into the mud during the course of the story.

    Rui¡¯s greatest ability is precisely her ability to compromise. She doesn¡¯t want to know who killed her father, and she won¡¯t do anything for herself.  Naturally, this loser hero did not get the huge $333 million victory like the heroes of "Never Compromise" in the end. The "compensation" she received was a pitifully small bag of wrinkled money, and it was just abandoned by the bad guys who didn't care.  .  The staff of the bail loan company praised Rui Zhen for her ability, and Rui said, "It's just forced by life."

    If notSuffering from the oppression of this life, she should be an ordinary high school girl in the city, dressing up, falling in love, gossiping, going to college that is the youth Rui wants.  This seems glaring, unsociable, and "unreal" in the Feminist League of Legends.  Do we want a screen hero or a real girl?

    Another viy movie "Soul Surfer" also faced this problem. It received a lot of unfair criticism because it was true to reality rather than rigid film politics.  The fact is that a female tough guy will be seen as real in feminist movies (especially radical movies); when she gets to be in a miracle comeback-type sports movie, she needs more dark struggles, otherwise it will be unreal.  .  The so-called "real" often has different stereotypes depending on the genre. This is the not interesting part of the movie, it is about ideology.

    Bethenny and Ree¡¯s stories are very different, but their female strength is the same: female flexibility.

    ??Gail said, "It's different after you get married." Accept the changes in life, rely on the faith in your heart and the responsibilities on your shoulders, and move forward with strength.  This seemingly traditional power of flexibility is mostly ignored by feminist films, while the unyielding power of resistance in difficult situations is overemphasized.  For example, in "Thelma and Louise", the two heroines drive off the cliff to commit suicide to win freedom. It is indeed a bloody and tearful indictment of the patriarchal society, a display of women's courage and willingness to die rather than surrender, and it is shocking and tragic.  But Rui and Gale's surrender, begging for mercy, adapting, and surviving through cracks and crannies do not show the "fragility" and "fickleness" of women?  This is a true return of the female spirit.

    The reason why I call them realistic feminists is because movies are a vehicle to escape reality, but "Winter's Bone" confronts all cruel realities.  In addition to feminism, the poverty and dangers of the local area permeate the entire film, creating a kind of despair of fate that generations will find difficult to escape their growing difficulties.  Often stories about struggle at their worst have a glimmer of light peeking through the cracks.  But the bastard director Ye Wei has no such intention. The film has no soundtrack except for the ending theme. The tone of psychological pressure is seen in every shot, and the characters have heavy expressions from beginning to end.

    The success of this plain, solemn documentary-like film relies largely on the powerful performances of the actors.  I believe that many years from now people will be excited because it was the birth of two great actresses. The 16-year-old Lawrence and the 18-year-old Vikander gave people a glimpse of their glorious future with their extraordinary performances!  This is their first time acting in a movie, but they are as mature as any veteran actors.  The rest of the cast is also excellent, and this may be Hax's best performance ever.  They rarely perform intense performances in the film, and are as calm and restrained as the biting cold wind in the film.

    Director Ye Wei used a lot of landscape empty shots to heighten the atmosphere and metaphorical themes, just like the first wide-angle shot at the beginning:

    An ant is walking on a small dead branch in a dark forest. It wants to find something to eat, but how many difficulties and obstacles does it have to face?  It may be blown away by a sudden gust of wind, drenched by a sudden heavy rain, or stepped on by a passing big foot that doesn't even know it exists.  It wants to get out of there, but it has to be busy finding food for today to avoid starving to death, every day.  From its birth to its death, the invisible web of the forest has always enveloped it. It doesn't even know the existence of the forest, let alone the world outside the forest.

    This is the living situation of Rui and Gale, as well as their brother and son.  The difference is that they have just been defeated, and they are desperately trying to earn a glimmer of light from the future for the children who have not yet been completely defeated.  The inherent crisis, low social status and sad living conditions of vulnerable groups are all the same as the situation of women growing up in a patriarchal society. If we want to dispel this darkness and gain a new life, how can we be crazy and violent and tragic?  Is suicide possible?

    The experience of the police officer Baskin in the film (who changed his destiny to become a police officer due to the hardships of his sister's support) tells us that fighting softly in the dark is a feasible path.  By the end of the film, Rui looks destined to go down this path.  This is not an ending that the audience is willing to accept. The audience is forced to discover their inner sadness. In fact, everyone knows what reality is, and it is sad because it is reality.

    "Everyone here is a cousin," Ree told her brother Harold. Indeed, she could be anyone's cousin: everyone's family comes from the country, everyone has a mother, and maybe sisters, and you can tell from them.  That sees Rui's reflection of her motherhood, nature, strength and flexibility.  They are also real feminists.

    Let¡¯s use this phrase for this movie review:

    "Winter's Bone" is one of the two best bones of the year. The other one is of course "The Lovely Bones", which is also a viy movie.  ¡¿
