This gift comes from a man named You Ergen (J? Danish businessman in rgen). The businessman promised to give generously, but on one condition, Jacob would not only leave India, but also attend his upcoming wedding for his daughter.
In desperation, Jacob had to leave for Denmark and set a trip back to India, because he promised to come back as soon as possible to celebrate the birthday of a child named Pramod in the orphanage. In Copenhagen, he found a "benefactor" You Ergen who was willing to support himself-an arrogant person who was left behind by alcoholism. He invited Jacob to attend his daughter's wedding the next day. At the wedding, Jacob met Helen, Qiao Zhen's wife. Although many years passed, they recognized each other quickly. ...
The wedding became a turning point in Jacob's life, and he was caught in a dilemma. About the film
Mikkelsen played the leading role in Susan Bill's last work, Open Your Heart. This time, Jacob, the character he plays in the film, is a man tortured by loneliness and the past, but his quiet appearance hides deep indignation. Lasker? Rd's performance also makes us feel impeccable. His role Jurgen (J? Rgen) is an image with ups and downs. At first, his arrogance won't get the sympathy of the audience, but with the development of the movie plot, his character and mind also reveal many aspects worth knowing, which will eventually urge the audience to make an objective evaluation of him. As a new actor, Stine Fischer Christensen made his mark in this film and successfully played his daughter Anna. From naive happiness to fragile heartbreak, Knudsen performed quite well and moved the audience. Her true feelings showed her great strength to the big-name movie stars in the same cast.
About the director
I'm afraid there are few comprehensive and accomplished filmmakers like Suzanne Bell in the world film industry. Whether she is a director, a screenwriter or plays a role in person, she always brings us shock and surprise. Although Suzanne Bell is involved in a wide range of fields, she is a person with a sense of theme after all. Since her debut, her style has been very avant-garde, daring to face up to social problems and show the demands of ordinary people. The works after Brothers have matured in deepening her theme consciousness, but this year's new work After the Wedding still continues her previous style and care, which leads us to think deeply about social, ethical, spiritual, moral and care issues. She has always insisted on telling us that life is short and everyone should complete this journey through mutual understanding.
In the visual effect of the film, the director uses a lot of close-ups on the environmental background and characters, which can deepen the personality and characteristics of the characters. At the same time, susanne bier has made particularly strict demands on the expression of actors' eyes, which is also a model of her unique grasp of subtleties.
This is a film that reveals and shows the theme of difficult choices. Its theme seems easy to fall into a cliche, that is, boring sentimentality and platitudes. However, the simplicity of the script, the ability of the director and the perfect performance of the actors finally made this film reflecting the theme of family ethics stand out, and the audience received rave reviews after the screening.
About actors
Mads Mikkelsen in Mads Mikkelsen has become synonymous with the brilliant development of Danish film industry in the mid-1990s. Since the film Run to the Finish Line starring him was a great success in 1996, Mads Mikkelsen has quickly become one of the most influential big-name movie stars in Denmark. After that, several of his films continued to be well received in China, such as "Flashing Lights" in 2000 and "Shake It Almost" in 200 1. In 2000, another film in the gangster series, 1, also won the American Emmy Award and the Golden Elephant Award. After 2003, several films, such as I am Dina, Happy Pornography, Torre Molinos 73 and American blockbuster King Arthur, finally made Mads Mikkelsen a famous figure in the world cinema.
Rolf Lassg?rd Rolf Lasger? Rd studied in Malmo, Sweden, and then went to Lanzkron to perform Shakespeare's plays professionally. Especially in A Midsummer Night's Dream, he grasped the role of Parker with great breakthrough. Throughout the 1990s, Rolf Lassg?rd was busy with movies and played a series of police images, especially in the film adapted from Henning Mankell's crime novels, the image of Kurt Vilander left a deep impression on the audience. After the Wedding lets people know that besides Lars von Trier, there are other contemporary directors who are at the forefront of Nordic movies, such as Susan Bell. Female directors, who is active in the Danish film industry in recent years, and Andre Thomas Jensen, the screenwriter of this film, are both members of the dogmatic movement. They formed an alliance in 2002 because of Love Outside the Window, and then collaborated on Blood and Brothers After the Wedding, and were nominated for the best foreign language film at this year's Oscar. Moreover, the crystallization of each cooperation has attracted rave reviews, which proves that this combination has a wonderful tacit understanding: Andre Thomas Jenson is good at connecting the two propositions of contingency and fate, while susanne bier is keen on extremely simple and low-key documentary realism. With the meeting of Jacob and Helene, the story unfolds a series of absurd plots, but Susan Bill carefully controls the tone of the narrative, slowly and profoundly, until the last moment, showing excited and exaggerated emotions, which makes their nested contradictions explosive.
Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the leading role of Jacob, can be compared with Tom Hanks in Hollywood. He studied drama performance in Sweden when he was young, and then entered the film industry in the 1990s. During the booming period of Danish film industry, he can often be seen. After becoming famous internationally, he also stayed in Hollywood for a while. In the epic film King Arthur in 2004, he and another Swedish movie star, Stellan Skarsgard, were included.
This film was also nominated for the best foreign language film Oscar for the seventh time in Danish history. In the past, billy august's Pearl the Conqueror and gabriel axel's Babbitt's Feast have won this honor.
