Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

February 24, 2008.

The 80th Academy Awards were held on time at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Martin has no works selected for this Oscar.

But Meyers Films does.

Blue Sky Studios, a subsidiary of Meyers Films, produced the animated feature"Ratatouille" based on Martin's ideas and was shortlisted for Best Animated Feature.

Of course, Martin only provided an idea. He did not write the script, so it still does not count as his work.

"Juno," a youth comedy film independently invested by Meyers Films, was shortlisted for four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

Of course, except for the best original screenplay, the possibility of winning other awards is almost zero, and there is a high probability that it will be a running runner-up.

The screenwriter of this movie is Diablo Coti, a very talented and beautiful screenwriter.

The movie stars Lindsay Lohan, and the little girl's acting skills in the movie are no worse than Ellen Page in the original timeline, so her nomination for Best Actress did not cause any controversy.

Then there's"The Bourne Supremacy," one of Meyers Pictures' most profitable franchises.

It was shortlisted for three generally influential technical awards: Best Editing, Best Sound Effects, and Best Sound Effects Editing.

The time came to 15:00 in the afternoon.

It started to rain lightly in Los Angeles, which was always sunny at 25.

But this did not affect the celebrities walking the red carpet.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Oscar organizing committee seemed to have been well prepared, erecting a white canopy over the red carpet to prevent celebrities who were dressed up to attend the event from becoming drowned.

The first to step onto the red carpet was Johnny Depp, who was nominated for Best Actor for"Sweeney Todd."

After losing the"Pirates of the Caribbean" series, this guy also lost his only chance to prove himself commercially, so he has been tepidly mixed in the circles of art films and independent films.

This guy is also a maverick guy. When he walked on the red carpet, he didn't wear the standard male actor's dark suit, but a pair of jeans and a white vest, showing the tattoos on his arms. He looked naughty. He was so angry.

Interestingly, his female companion is his ex-girlfriend - Winona Ryder, not his current girlfriend - French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has given birth to two children.

Probably the relationship broke down.

Next on the red carpet was German supermodel Heidi Klum and her black singer husband Hill.

Then, Jennifer Garner, George Clooney, Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett and other stars stepped onto the red carpet one after another.

By the way, Anne Hathaway is participating in this Oscar on behalf of"Ratatouille". She is the voice of the little mouse Xiaomi.

With the appearance of one star after another, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became warmer. The drizzle could not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans.

The Hollywood writers' strike that lasted for more than three months once made people worry about whether the 80th Academy Awards ceremony could be held as scheduled.

Now that the strike is over and the suspense has been eliminated, the Oscars ceremony has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Fans who lost the Golden Globe Award have poured all their enthusiasm into it, and the ratings of this Oscars ceremony have reached a new high.

Martin got off the black Rolls-Royce, looked at the continuous white roof, and complained in his heart:"How does it look like a funeral?"

Obviously this is the influence of Chinese Martin's memory.

In the West,"white" is considered"noble""、"Symbol of"purity" and"beauty"

"Black" is"mysterious""、""Elegant". (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Therefore, at weddings, the bride and groom mostly wear these two colors.

Westerners' elevation of"white" can be seen in many literary works. This is Derived from their own skin color.

In 1993, American sociologist Ruth Frankenberg in his book"White Women, Race Issues" ( he believed that"white symbolizes a social structural advantage and A kind of racial superiority, which (whiteness) represents a perspective through which white people view themselves, others and society... Whiteness refers to a set of unmarked and invisible cultural behaviors."

1994, West Theodore Allen also pointed out in his book"The Invention of the White Race" that"white" symbolizes an absolute and unique social and cultural phenomenon in the United States. He believes that when immigrants come from When the multiracial Europas entered North America and South Africa, they integrated themselves into the"white race" through constitutional recognition.

Since North America and American society have given"whiteness" many intangible attributes not only politically but also in economic and social aspects. Privilege,"whiteness" symbolizes an elusive marker that reflects social power.

Toni Morrison published"Games in the Dark: Whiteness and the American Literary Imagination" in 1992, in which she analyzed race Concepts such as class, racial exclusion, racial vulnerability, and racial availability, and the implications for those who identify or reject these concepts and explore them.

She argues that at different times, white North America and mainstream white American society adopted Different methods have been used to maintain the authoritative position of"whiteness" in society.

The admiration of"whiteness" in American literature and culture, the emphasis on white values ​​​​and the devaluation and rejection of other people of color and their culture have experienced a tortuous evolution. process.

Winthrop D. Jordan gave a wonderful discussion of this process in the book"White over Black".

He said in the book: When the early immigrants from England arrived in North America, they faced a Unfamiliar surroundings and the threat of death—hunger, disease, extreme weather, Indian attacks, mutual killings, suicide, and the harsh natural environment—all contributed to the cohesion of the early settlers. Among them, Christian teachings and White skin has become an important symbol that distinguishes them from pagans and other races.

The identification of"white" marks the awakening of the racial consciousness of white people, mainly Anglo-Saxon.

With the expansion of colonies and the establishment of slavery, this kind of The distinction between Christianity and pagans, civilization and barbarism, and white people and non-white people has become increasingly prominent.

White people not only did their best to conquer pagans, civilize barbarians and spread Christian civilization, but also seized the lands of North American Indians under the banner of Anglo-Saxon culture. , and turned the entire black race into the object of their own enslavement, and made unremitting efforts to eventually turn North America into a completely white country.

Interestingly,"white race" does not include all ethnic groups with white skin, of which the Irish are a typical example.

Yes, the Irish are not classified as white. Even in the 20th century, the Irish are still a discriminated race. Is it surprising?

Of course, the status is still higher than that of black people. Some Western scholars do not even think that black people are human beings.

In 1795, the famous German biologist, anatomist and originator of anthropology Johann Blumenbach proposed the so-called"great biological chain" theory.

In this theory he placed the black man only slightly higher than the ape.

He believes that the brain structure of black people is different from other human beings and lacks most of the abilities of logical thinking, rational thinking, and reasoning thinking.

But to be honest, until the 21st century, black people had achievers in literature, music and sports, but in mathematics - there were really none, not one.
