The brutalist it caused a sensation
If it only comes out on February 12th in France, The brutalist arrived in theaters last December in the United States. The film’s story takes place after World War II and spans nearly thirty years. She follows a Hungarian architect who survived the Holocaust, László Tothwho emigrates to the United States with his wife Erzsébet in the hope of living the “American dream”.
The brutalist made a strong impression on many spectators and journalists. To the point of being on everyone’s lips during this period of awards in the United States. As explained several days ago, the film has already won three Golden Globes. Now it is one of the big favorites in several categories for the Oscars. But he could be snubbed by voters due to a controversy that has just erupted over the film.
Artificial intelligence was used for the film
The publisher of The brutalistDávid Jancsó, recently spoke at length with Red Shark News. And he revealed it artificial intelligence had been used for some elements of the film. This was especially true for improve Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones’ accentsthe interpreters of László and Erzsébet. Himself Hungarian, Dávid Jancsó explained that the goal was for the country’s inhabitants to not be able to spot a mispronounced word:
We trained Adrien and Felicity and they did a fabulous job, but we wanted to perfect the accent so that even Hungarians couldn’t tell the difference. Most of their dialogues have a part where I do the talking. We were really careful to keep their performance high. It was just a matter of replacing letters here and there. You can do it yourself with ProTools, but we had so much dialogue in Hungarian that we really had to speed up the process, otherwise we would still be in post-production.
Dávid Jancsó also revealed that AI was used for a scene in the film set at the Venice Biennale. Architectural designs and buildings were then created artificially by the feature film team.
Controversies around artificial intelligence are increasing
Perhaps Dávid Jancsó’s revelations will do some harm The brutalist for the Oscars. Because the topic of the use of artificial intelligence is still very delicate in the film sector. He had been too one of the main culprits of the massive 2023 strike in Hollywood. And for several months, Controversy over the use of artificial intelligence in cinema is increasing.
Last year the dubbing of the series My little pony by an artificial intelligence caused a scandal. Much more recently, it was the turn of the catastrophic artificial dubbing of Sylvester Stallone’s new film that sparked controversy. Journalist Jordan Ruimy, on his website Real worldhe also reports it Artificial intelligence was reportedly used to perfect Selena Gomez’s Spanish accent Emilia Perez…although this accent has rightly been criticized for its lack of authenticity!
There is no doubt that the thorny topic of the use of AI will continue to be discussed. Waiting, Oscar voters may choose to snub The brutalist. Nominations for the prestigious ceremony will be revealed this Thursday 23 Februaryand we will therefore know in which categories Brady Corbet’s film has a chance of winning a statuette.
