Bella from the Venice Film Festival,Mike
Taylor from the Toronto International Film
Festival and Xu Li from the
Shanghai
Internationa Film e,everyone!Maria,do tell us a
Little about the Venice Film Festival.
Well,I think it is rather appropriate for me
to begin our
Venice Film Festival is the
oldest film festival in the is an annual
Festival that began in festival is part of a
larger festival which
applauds contemporary
View film as a particular type of
contemporary
art.
Kathy,please tell us about the Sundance
Film Festival.
Unlike the Venice Film
Festival,the Sundance Film Festival only includes
Small,independent is,the main crierion for
being included is
That the film must not be
financed by Hollywoods tudios.
Kathy,I don’t
like to argue,but in defence of the Venice Film
Festival,I
Have to point out that we don’t
just have Hollywood policy is to
Include
high-quality films,regardless of who makes
them..We make no
Restrictions on
the kinds of films we show--as long as a film’s
quality meets
Our standards,we include
it.
Kathy: The Sundance Film Festival
deliberately boycotts all Hollywood films,and
we
don’t foresee ever including
initial ideal for our festival was
hatched
backin1978,when it was known as the
UtahUS Film ,it
was not well known
until was then that Robert Redford become its
sponsor and changed the focus to
independent films,ofen made on very
was given its new name—the Sundance Film
Festival—in
d has acted in and
directed many big Hollywood films,but
wanted to expose the public to films made outside
of the Hollywood system
that ordinary
people might have no access to ys,if a film
wins an award at Sundance,there is a good chance
it will become famous!
Isabel: Cannes is
another festival that can make films films are
first
Shown to the public at the
Cannes Film Festival,and if a film
wins,everyone
will hear about it.I
think it is fair to say that Cannes is the most
famous and
exciting festival.
Hanz: I hate to contradict you,but in recent
years,the Cannes film Festival has
shown special favour to American people remark
that it has
taken a step backwards,and
is beginning to resemble the Academy Awards
in
Hollywood too much.
Isable: Well,yes,films shown at Cannes are
ofen made with large bugets,and
Have
well-known actors and of them are American,but we
reject the ideal that we have lost our
edge as he best international film
festival in the always show a broad range of
films from many
different fact,the
Cannes Film festival was started in 1939
because many people felt the Venice Film Festival
was giving awards to only
German and
Italian films.
Hanz: Well,in my opinion,the
Berlin International Film Festival is one of the
most
International of all the film it
began in 1951,we have given
Awards to
films from all around the our festival,Hollywood
films
Are in the minority,while films
that are likely to be overlooked at other
Festivals,for example at Cannes,have a real chance
of becoming champions.
Mike: I’m the
spokesman for the Toronto International Film
Festival,which began
In 1976 and soon
became one of the major film festivals around the
world.
Each year,famous
actors,actresses and directors come to Toronto,and
the
Entire film world pays attention to
who is the second largest festival
In
the world—only Cannes is show films from many
countries,
Though we do give some
special awards to Canadian films.
Xu Li: I
represent the Shanghai International Film
festival was
founded
In 1993,so we
are perhaps the youngest though we have only
Existed a short time,our festival has a good
reputation have
Entries
from many different countries and give the
‘Jinjue’ Award,or Golden
Cup Award,to
the film that we think is the best.
Harry
potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001)
What
an amazing film! Who has not dreamt of finding out
that he or she is really
someone special and
famous? That fantasy is reality for Harry Potter
(played by
Daniel Radcliffe).Harry, a
sensitive young boy who has a scar on his
forehead, has
been living with his relatives,
the Dursleys. His uncle abuses him, his aunt
ignores
him, and his cousin hates him. At
first, Harry thinks that his parents were killed
in a
car crash when he was a baby. However ,
he later finds out that his father was a
wizard and that his mother was a witch, both
of whom were murdered by an evil
wizard—the
same wizard who gave Harry the scar. Harry
discovers that he possesses
a wizard’s powers
too, and that he already has a reputation in the
world witches and
wizards because of his
parents.
Hagrid (played by Robbie Coltrane)
is a very large person who works at Hogwarts, a
special institution for young witches and
wizards. He comes to rescue Harry from the
Dursleys and take him to the school. They have
a few adventures along the way, and
Harry is
introduced to a whole new world he never knew
about –the world of magic.
The world of
ordinary people exist parallel to the world of
magic , but the ordinary
people are not aware
of it.
On the train to school, Harry makes two
new friends, Ron Weasley (played by Rupert
Grint) and Hermione Granger(played by Emma
Watson). Together, they learn about
their new
school and the special curriculum there. Harry has
contradictory feelings
about his new life. At
first, he enjoys it, but later he learns that the
evil wizard,
Voldemort, is the one
who killed his parents. Harry and his partners
have a fierce
battle with Voldemort to save
themselves and their magic world.
The film is
full of special effects. Watching Harry zoom
around on a flying broom
could make you feel
dizzy, and the school sport of Quidditch is
fantastic. The effects
are all made with the
computer, and are really exciting to watch.
All of this is wonderful, but the best part of
the film is the acting. This is surprising as
the three young actors playing the characters
of Harry, Ron and Hermione did not
have much
experience as actors before making this film. The
skill with which these
three become their
characters is one of the film’s main attractions.
They do very well
even compared with the adult
actors, such as Alan Rickman (Professor Snape),
RichardHarris (HeadmastorDumbledore)and Maggie
Smith(professor Mcgonagall).
g, the author of
the Harry Potter books, approved the final script
of the
film. However, many people have
complained that film is too long. At 142 minutes,
it
is almost a half hour longer than an
average film. While the sport of Quidditich is
vital part of the book and of Harry’s school
experience, I feel that too much time is
devoted in the film to showing it. I think
this more to show off the several interesting
scenes are not shown in the film.
Many
people also complain that the film has a tendency
to spend too much time
showing Harry’s life
with the Durleys. This shows that the film-makers
did not give
enough thought to who the
audience of the film would be. Most people who
went to
see the film had read the book before
going to the cinema. They would already know
that Harry is not happy with the Dursleys. The
important and interesting parts of the
film
occur in the world of magic. Much of this early
part of the film could have been
skipped, and more time could have been spent
at Hogwarts.
Even with these slight drawbacks,
Harry potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is still
a
great film, and I certainly recommend it !
