How to evaluate Alfonso Cuarón, the best director of 9 1 Oscar?

It's not the first time that Caron won the Oscar for Best Director, but the winning work "Rome" means a lot to him-he finally realized his lifelong dream.

In recent years, several foreign directors in Hollywood have made great achievements, except Ang Lee in China, Taiwan Province Province, Christopher Nolan in Britain, and the Mexican Three Masters, which people often talk about.

As one of the three outstanding figures, Alfonso Cuarón came to Hollywood because Mexico killed his dream.

He wants to stay in his hometown and do his best.

Expelled from school for shooting a short film

65438-0985, Caron studied in the Film Department of the University of Mexico. He made a short film in English with his friends, which angered the school. In the cultural and ZZ environment at that time, Caron's approach touched the bottom line. Soon, Caron was expelled from school.

After graduating from school, Caron took a short-term job and was finally pulled into the film circle by his friends. I have worked as an assistant director in various crews for several years, which laid a solid foundation for Caron's future career as a director.

Don't want to be an obedient director

1990, Caron and his younger brother collaborated on a film-hysterical love. The script was written by two brothers, and the film was directed by Caron himself. This is his real debut.

Because of the excellent reputation of this film, Caron has attracted the attention of the film industry. However, Caron, who won the first battle, was not happy. The investor, the Mexican Film Association, asked him to be obedient next, otherwise there would be no film to shoot.

In order to be an independent director, Caron resolutely bid farewell to his hometown and went to Hollywood to find his dream.

Hollywood's road to freedom for ten years

Hollywood is not a paradise for all filmmakers. Even though Caron has made achievements in his hometown, he is still unable to exert his fists and feet in this big-name gathering place.

In order to make a living, Caron had to accept productions that he didn't want to participate in, and many of them died halfway for various reasons. In this decade, I'm afraid the only works he can get are fantasy movies "Little Princess" and "Great Expectations" adapted from Dickens' novels.

The filming process of Great Expectations is the last thing Cameron wants to talk about. Fox invited him to shoot the film, but didn't give him editing rights.

Caron, who gradually gained capital, finally had the opportunity to find his original heart. He collaborated with his brother in another movie, and your mother. This is a story shot in Mexico, which is closely related to the process of growing up.

To this day, Caron, who won the Oscar for Best Director for "Rome", still regards "Your Mom, too" and "Rome" as his most important works.

Mexico's three heroes broke out collectively

In 2006, three Mexican directors broke out collectively. Toro's Maze of the Pan God, Inarito's Babel and Caron's The Son of Man are all successful works this year. Three Mexican directors form a perfect iron triangle, and the title of "three Mexican directors" is getting louder and louder.

Third sister is not just a nickname in people's mouths. The three of them also have a deep friendship in private and support each other in Hollywood. For example, Caron and Inarito participated in the partial production of Toro's Pacific Rim, Toro made a guest appearance in Caron's Gravity, and Caron and Toro participated in the production of Inarito's biutiful. ...

Sometimes, I really envy the true friendship without doping interests in this materialistic circle.

Love and hate homesickness

On 20 14, Caron won the first Oscar for best director for Gravity. As the halo above his head became dazzling, Caron realized that he had real freedom.

I think I will shoot a very simple story, with no special effects and no need to go into space, he said in an interview.

This is the dream he has always wanted to realize. After playing all kinds of special effects, science fiction and big production, he still remembers to raise his hometown, even though it once killed his movie dream.

Thus, the original idea of Rome was born.

Many directors like to make a film mixed with their own private stories at the beginning of their film career, and Caron is no exception, but compared with other directors, after his success, he turned around and returned to his original heart.

In 20 16, a low-budget movie "Rome" without a star cast was officially launched in Mexico. Returning to Caron, Mexico, is like a child returning to his mother's arms. It is easier for him to find childhood memories here.

Belongs to the peak of Caron's life.

The whole film took more than a year to shoot, and Caron was also a director, screenwriter and photographer. In fact, apart from directing skills, Caron's photography is also extraordinary.

At the 9 1 Oscar Awards, the black-and-white film Rome won three awards: Best Director, Best Photography and Best Foreign Language Film.

For this, Caron expressed his gratitude. Unexpectedly, this film about his childhood memories attracted audiences all over the world. He is very grateful that "Rome" can be recognized by film critics and judges.

As a director, it is a wonderful thing to be able to make a favorite film in his lifetime and resonate with the audience. Caron undoubtedly did it, which is probably the peak of his life in the true sense.

Dreams are never easy, but not many people can return to their original heart again. The film he wants to make is a film that can withstand scrutiny and has values, rather than being forgotten at a hot spot. It is precisely because of this initial intention that Caron can go step by step to the present and get everyone's recognition. He deserves this prize.
