Chapter 61

For Hollywood, in the last week of January 1987, what attracted most attention was no longer the upcoming Golden Globe Awards ceremony, but a teenager. On January 26, directed by a teenager, at the closing ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival founded by Hollywood superstar Robert Redford, "Lola Run" won the "Jury Award" and "Photography Award" .

Ten days before that, due to its popularity, the Organizing Committee of Sundance Film Festival had to temporarily double the number of shows of "Lola Run", but the demand for tickets for the shows was still in short supply.

On that day's award ceremony, obviously influenced by "Lola Run", the Egyptian cinema in park city was also full.

It's just that.

In any case, Sundance is just a start-up Film Festival after all.

People with clear eyes can see that during this period, it is not so much the Sundance Film Festival that has improved the fame of "Lola Run" as the media's reports on "Lola Run" have in turn increased the attention of the Sundance Film Festival.

Usually, after participating in this kind of Film Festival, which is not a big influence, everyone has been making a scene for a short time, and everything will soon return to calm.

However.

For Simon.

For Lola Run.

A lot of things are just beginning.

January 28.

Wednesday.

An article in the Los Angeles Times completely lit up a name that appeared unconsciously in the corner of many people's eyes these days and became so dazzling.

The title of 18 years old is so concise that it is even suspensive.

The attached picture is a set photo of "Lola Run" during the shooting process. The young man with both hands at the gambling table, slightly frowning at the roulette wheel in front of him, was obviously thinking about something. Dozens of men and women standing, sitting, leaning against the wall or chatting around them were obviously paying a little attention to the teenagers at the table.

Perfect capture, showing some wonderful strong control. People who see photos can almost determine who is the center of the photo world at a glance.

Peter Butler is obviously also a very good photographer.

And excellent contributors.

"First of all, what were you doing when you were 18?"

"Then, look at another person. He was 18 years old and started at a public mental hospital in the small town of Watsonville, San Francisco. Dilapidated, cold, deep cold, this is the most profound feeling when I specially visit. However, there he completed another nirvana in his life. Why say again, because his life seems to be full of countless times unknown nirvana. I have visited many people around him, and everyone says that he is a very hard-working person. "

"But I'll just say he's 18 today."

"In the first four months of his 18-year-old life, he recovered from some mental illness that came down from the sky, so he changed his name to westero. Simon westero. "

"I asked him what" westero "meant? He said he couldn't, and he didn't want to make up a reason to cheat me. Then I asked him where you came from, but he told me all about it. He didn't even hide his experience in a mental hospital. Obviously, westero is more important, but we may never know. "

"The 18-year-old" however, I think that this is because he is too proud and feels that other people's work is not as good as his own, so he likes to do it by himself. "

"Although all the people I have asked think he should be proud, including myself, at the same time, it is difficult for everyone to feel any pride from him. He always seems to be a very ordinary and peaceful young man. For this, his girlfriend Jennie's words seem to explain: he is a proud guy who disdains to be proud, just like the God of another world, who suddenly comes to the world to conquer the world. "

"We were in a small restaurant in Park City, and we had just finished the premiere of" Lola Run. ". I was so shocked by his movies that I asked countless times, "is this really a movie that an 18-year-old can make?"

"Towards the end of lunch, I finally couldn't help it, so I asked him: Simon, are you a God?"

"He said no, he was human. A man, like a woman. "
