I have never encountered this situation. When I try to describe a person, I don’t know where to start.This is a very strange person, and a very wonderful person. I have never talked to him in person. I have always liked to find their qualities in the works of directors.But this is an exception. I have read his three works several times, but I have not found any connection in them. This is really surprising.
Simply put, the three movies seem to be filmed from three different perspectives, with no interference with each other before.
We know that many directors have their own styles, and no matter what kind of movies they produce, they will find some shadows of other works to a greater or lesser extent.
But in "Memory Fragments", you will never see any connection with "Two Big Blows", and you will not see the shadow of the first two movies in "Shawshank Redemption".
I often wonder what a person the youngest Oscar nominee would be, his three works are like directors who are irrelevant.
When I learned a little about his experience, I felt even more unable to see through it.
Just 2 years ago, he was just a playboy who bought drunk all day. Yes, yes, it was literal.
Adrian Cowell's father, Jeffrey Cowell, was the president of a company. He died in an air crash with his wife four years ago, and Adrian lingered in the bar ever since.
However, after two years of such days, he seemed to suddenly wake up, picked up the guide and became a director, and achieved surprising results.
We all know that he has made three movies so far, and we also know that he is a new Hollywood director and has the title of genius, but I believe many people probably ignore the time he spent making movies.
According to my investigation, "Two Big Blows" started filming in June 1990, and then the film participated in the Venice Film Festival in August; "Memory Fragments" started filming in November 1990, and then participated in the Berlin Film Festival in February 1991; as for "Shawshank Redemption", it started filming in April 1991. Although it was released at the end of October, all the work was completed by the end of August!
God Ah, no director has ever experienced such efficiency?
In addition, all three movies earned high box offices, and "Memory Fragments" and "Shawshank Redemption" both gained a very high reputation. Although the reputation of "Two Big Bowls" is not as good as the latter two movies, the exquisite tailoring still received a lot of applause.
To be honest, I hadn't watched The Shawshank Redemption before the Oscar nomination list came out, because of his two previous movies, I thought this was another similar movie.
It wasn't until now that I realized what I almost missed. This movie reminded me of the various hardships I encountered when I was a young journalist 8 years ago. If I hadn't persisted with hope, I wouldn't have sat in front of the typewriter to type these words for you.
Can you believe it?
It took him only 4 months or even less to produce this movie!
The theorem that mass and speed are inversely proportional to Adrian does not seem to work. At least I also know that before the Shawshank Redemption was released, he started the production of the fourth movie, and also invited Al Pacino to play the leading role; in addition, after just completing the production of this new movie, he immediately started the production of the fifth movie...
Can he never use up his energy?
This is amazing. A playboy who knew nothing 2 years ago was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director two years later, and three of the four movies produced in the past two years have been successful. How many people can do this?!
Well, if I think this is not enough, according to the information I have obtained, many high-box movie scripts last year were written by him, such as Warner's "Body Guard", or Universal's "Scream" and so on.
When I summarized these information before and after I was stunned for 5 minutes, I really couldn't imagine what kind of person this is and how he did all this?I think he shouldn't be called a genius, he should be called a genius. If possible, I hope he can accept my interview.
Haggis Pinet The Washington Post
With the announcement of the 64th Academy Awards, Hollywood immediately attracted the attention of the public. This year's Oscar unexpectedly made the thriller and horror film "The Silence of the Lambs" a thriller and horror film nominated for 8 awards including Best Movie, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and the superb performances of Judy Foster and Anthony Hopkins were also unanimously favored by film critics.
Can Foster win the Best Actress again?
Can Hopkins win the Best Actor with less than 30 minutes of performance?
These are all talked about by people.
However, although the strong shortlist of "The Silence of the Lambs" has attracted a lot of attention, it is not the most popular one. The most popular one is "The Shawshank Redemption" and its director Adrian Cowell!
"The Shawshank Redemption" was nominated for 8 awards in this year's Oscars: Best Film, Best Director, Best Leading Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Editing and Best Photography!
This is definitely an amazing result, and Adrian alone has also won three nominations: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing.
It is conceivable how surprised people should be.
But what surprised them even more was Adrian's personal experience.
Before the report by the Washington Post chief entertainment reporter Haggis Pinet came out, people's impression of Adrian was just a new director with a genius title, and the three films he produced were successful. I have to say that he did a good job of keeping a low profile in front of the media.
When the Oscar nomination list came out, people found that this 24-year-old man had become the youngest Nominee for Best Director at the Oscar. Unfortunately, the youngest Nominee for Best Director, John Singleton, who was twenty days older than Adrian, was squeezed down. In addition, he also received the nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing at the same time. It is amazing.
After Pinet's report was released, this sense of surprise was suddenly magnified countless times.
A playboy who often lingered in bars two years ago suddenly picked up the director and became a director. He also produced 3 movies in a row. Not only did each of them sell well at the box office, but the last one was nominated for 8 Oscars like "The Silence of the Lambs". In addition, he is also the screenwriter of "Body Guard" and "Scream". His process of making movies is extremely short. His first two movies also won each of them at the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival. This...
Isn't this a bit too magical?
This is a fantasy novel!
Public interest in Adrian suddenly rose by dozens of percentage points.
