King of Hollywood Chapter 44: Masterpiece

Chapter 44 Masterpiece

I have to say that the beginning of the movie is really delicate. In the light music, a white feather flutters in the wind, from the sky to the city, from the city to the tree, from the tree to the street, from the street to the protagonist's shoes. A very simple shot also arouses the curiosity of the audience.

Then naturally introduces A-Gump through the camera. In just a few words, a man with a little wood and a simple heart suddenly jumped on the screen. Tom Hanks’ acting is really excellent. Then, the memories began. There was not much highlight in the plot at the beginning. It was just that A-Gum’s mother had to win a little sigh with the headmaster’s plot in order to let her son enter normal school.

However, very quickly, the first stunned egg appeared: Elvis was aware of the swing dance because of A-Gump. Although the face of the tenant was blurred and there was no frontal shot, A-Gump’s dance steps and Later, the pictures I saw on the TV in the window of the street all pointed to this point.

"This is too exaggerated." Adrian clearly heard someone mumble in front.

"Why did you think of arranging such a plot?" Gwyneth couldn't help but asked in a low voice with curiosity, all the heat blowing into his ears, and the itch was very sultry. people.

"Don't worry, there will be more interesting plots." Adrian smiled and patted on her thigh.

Yes, there will soon be a series of interesting plots that put A-Gump into historical events, such as Alabama’s refusal of black admissions, or Kennedy’s reference to the U.S. University star team and the White House. In the bathroom, pictures of Kennedy and Monroe and so on. Every time this kind of plot appears, whether it is A-Gump waving at the camera in front of the university, or saying "I want to release water" to Kennedy, it will cause unstoppable laughter.

Of course, these are just a part of A-Gump's experience. While telling these stories, the characters began to plump up gradually, and the two most important women in his life, mother and Jenny, also became prominent.

If, at the beginning, the audience still regarded the movie as a story of a mentally handicapped subject, then after Gump’s traits were revealed one by one, they had gradually changed this view.

Especially when A-Gump enlisted in the army, he replied to the sergeant who governed them: to be a soldier is to listen to your orders. Then I got a "You are really his genius, you have at least your IQ, and I want to recommend you to a military academy", the laughter rang again in the hall, and a subtle sound came from not far behind Adrian 'S voice: "Some are like "Rainman", mentally handicapped but have strengths in some aspects, but more interesting and attractive..."

This guy closed his mouth before he finished talking, because all the people around him cast an angry look, not because he said something wrong, but because he disturbed everyone to enjoy the movie, from here Seeing that the audience is fully integrated.

Next is naturally the Vietnam War that hurts all Americans, and Lieutenant Dan, one of the three most important people in A-Gump’s life, also appeared with him. Although Babu was his good friend, he achieved his Shrimp fishing industry, but compared to the other three people still have insufficient voice. The appearance of Lieutenant Dan is very interesting. When A-Gump introduced his family to be killed in every war in the United States, the montage was switched continuously. The family of Lieutenant Dan played by the same person fell to the ground again and again and died from the war of independence. Until World War II, laughter sounded again in the auditorium.

However, it was this kind of introduction that made the audience understand why Lieutenant Dan always had a feeling of anger towards A-Gump after he was rescued. Why did A-Gump yell "I should "Die here", afterwards those arrogant, crazy behaviors have also been reasonably explained. While the audience sighed, they began to become thoughtful.

The story continued to show down, returned home with injuries, was interviewed by Nixon, participated in the anti-war parade, and then reunited with Jenny. A-Gump has participated in more and more historical events, such as becoming a whistleblower of the Watergate incident, or taking part in table tennis to go to China-the Soviet-like competition venue, and the cut out and John Column Nong's discussion about China all made the audience babble.

Although it has been so many years and so many things have happened, A-Gump’s love for Ma, Jenny, and Lieutenant Dan’s friendship have never changed, and even afforded the life of the Babu family. Even if he encountered numerous failures in the process of catching shrimp, he still insisted on not retreating.

"Stupid people do stupid things." When someone says he is stupid, he always responds this way, which is as impressive as the phrase "life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one is like". profound.

Finally, A-Gump’s efforts paid off. In the face of the storm, the shrimp boat was destroyed. Only Jenny remained, and he and Lieutenant Dan made a fortune.

When the third listener learned that the boss of Bab-Shrimp was sitting next to him, when the unbelieving haha ​​left with a smile, the audience in the screening hall all smiled with a taunt. Sound, there are only a few talents who are in this role.

"Your acting skills are not bad, Ed." Gwyne said with a surprise in his ear.

"Okay, after all, it's only a few minutes." Adrian responded with a smile, never let go of the hand on her thigh.

This kind of laughter became bigger after A-Gump received the letter from Lieutenant Dan, "We don’t have to worry about money anymore, he invested in a fruit company." The Apple logo on the letterhead became larger. But at the same time it is more memorable and thinking.

The movie is not just about the life of Forrest Gump. It’s wearing chas and all kinds of Jenny and Lieutenant Dan. In contrast, I want to win honor for the family, think that I should die on the battlefield, think that I am Lieutenant Dan who was useless after being crippled; and Jenny, who pursued freedom and ego, mixed with hippies, and was drug addict and liberated. Instead, after deciding on his own goals, A-Gump, who has always insisted on perseverance, succeeded. It has to be said that it is meaningful.

In the end, Lieutenant Dan was redeemed, and the tired Jenny returned to A-Gump, but she still didn't fully understand it until A-Gump was finally angry.

"Although I'm a fool, I know what love is." A-Gump said angrily.

The sighing sound rang in the auditorium. Many people felt that A-Gump was worthless. Who could love a woman like him for more than a decade? Even Gwyneth around Adrian looked slightly fascinated.

Although it seems to me, Adrian doesn’t pay much attention to it. The reason why the movie has charm is that it can show things that are impossible in life or things that have little chance on the big screen. The best is not what you get. Every woman wants a man to wait for her life like this. Every woman is hungry for 1angman, but reality is reality after all. Sooner or later, she will wake up from a dream, and women in Hollywood will wake up faster.

Jenny left without saying goodbye. Fortunately, Gump started running again and again through the north and south of the United States, and still participated in the history of the United States in his unique way-t-shirts, insurance, etc.

Finally, Jenny returned to A-Gump and brought him a smart boy. Although the bug here is obvious, when Jenny said that she was infected with a virus and may die soon, judging from the previous judgments, this is obviously insinuating AIDS. In this case, although AIDS is not contagious with handshake, it is easy to pass on to the next generation. In this case, how healthy can Forrest's children be?

However, the audience chose to ignore this problem. During these two times of broadcast, Forrest Gump's spirit has infected them. Even if there is such a bug, it doesn't matter, Forrest should get his own happiness.

The story is coming to a close. Forrest Gump and Jenny are married. Although her mother has gone to heaven, the black housekeeper saw this scene in her place. Lieutenant Dan also came, and when I saw Jenny, everything was so peaceful and beautiful. Even if Jenny left A-Gump completely soon, he was not alone, and he had children he could go to school.

The familiar light-minded music sounded again, and the white feathers that fell on the shoes from the pages of the book floated again, flying higher and higher, and finally flying into the blue sky.

After the subtitles were completely played, the lights in the auditorium lighted up, and there was some noisy sounds before, but at this moment some weirdness suddenly disappeared, as if never before. A few seconds later, the clap of applause rang, first one person, followed by a few people, then more and more, more and more applause, and finally deafening, almost to the ceiling.

All kinds of people squeezed in and kissed him with a smile on his face, with sincerity and envy and jealousy. From this, the headshot of "Forrest Gump" could no longer be heard. Too. Adrian responded one by one, and after taking Gwyneth out of the auditorium, the turbulent crowd had dispersed a lot.

"Bang Bang, Ed, this is one of the best movies I have ever watched." Spielberg said by pulling him, and I can see that he likes the movie very much, but there are still a few Sorry look.

"Thank you, it's an honour to get such a compliment from you." Adrian nodded and guessed what he regretted with a little thought, probably thinking that he did not join in the reflection on the Jewish experience after World War II.

Of course, he also knows that this is not appropriate, and Adrian is clearly going to Oscar. Last year, he won the best director and best movie because of this theme. Adrian will have a repeated feeling like this. Besides, this is an American-style main melody movie, so Spielberg just regretted it and immediately adjusted it.

"Frankly, if Tommy is not present, this movie will lose a lot of color. I have said before that what he really acts like. Last year’s AIDS people were already amazing, but now this Forrest Gump But people are totally unconnected with that character." Adrian immediately praised the Tom Hanks around him.

"Okay, Ed, I'll be embarrassed if you talk about it." Hanks chuckled and looked very humble.

"Ed is telling the truth, you are really excellent, Tommy." Spielberg showed a serious look.

The Adrian in his eyes moved slightly, and suddenly said: "Steven, what do you think of Tommy?"

Spirberg froze, looked at Hanks seriously, and then nodded: "Try it."

"Sorry, can I know what you are talking about?" Hanks asked a little confused.

"Don't worry, Tommy, this thing has just begun-not even the beginning, just a plan, you will know by then." Adrian patted his shoulder with a smile. Hanks wanted to ask again, but his wife pulled him lightly, and Hanks immediately realized that he nodded with a smile and stopped talking.

The Adrian and Spielberg talked about, naturally he was invited to provide him with a new script, nothing else, it was the "Saving Private Ryan" Adrian that was known as the most tragic title at the beginning. It is the second part of "The Lost World" of "Jurassic Park". Michael Clayton has completed the second part. According to the earliest contract, the adaptation rights are also sold to Adrian. Too.

But the problem is, because at the time of the trip, we also signed a contract with Universal. If we shoot a sequel, Universal will also join in. This is not in line with DreamWorks’ exclusive strategy. Adrian Thinking of the adaptation of "Brother of the Brothers" that I bought recently from Stephen E. Eminem Bruce, I changed " Saving Private Ryan "The idea came out.

"About people and war, about the eight paradoxes of saving one, this is the theme of this movie. To be honest, if it’s not that I’m a little strange to the theme of war, and there is still something lacking in the scheduling of big scenes, I won't direct you, Steven." Adrian said after introducing it at the time.

"So I took a big advantage," Spielberg said with a smile, with an indescribable look in his eyes, "I really didn't expect you to come up with such an excellent idea in such a short time. ."

"Nothing, I had this idea when I read "Brothers", and the American guys at that time should be regarded as the strongest generation." Adrian said quietly.

Since the movie is selected, it is precisely the first protagonist Captain Miller is now, Adrian naturally reminded Spielberg. It is a bit regretful that from the preparation to the shooting to the later stage, it will not be released in the next year. Next year is the anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war. Not only will the box office be higher than the original, but it may also allow Tom to win the Oscar for the third time.

Of course, this idea was turned around in his mind and he was put aside. It is already luck for Hanks to win twice. If the release time of "Philadelphia Story" and "Forrest Gump" is adjusted, Han It is almost impossible for Kees to win two Oscars for the best actor in a row, and it is even more impossible for him to win three consecutive times.

As for DreamWorks’ exclusive strategy, Adrian can invest in a private capacity, and I believe Spielberg will never refuse. Now that we have set a strategy to make a profitable movie, we have to join in. How can we regret it now? Yes, it's greedy, but greed is good-as long as you control it.

If Adrian just want to be a big director, just want to play with women casually, naturally you don’t need to do this. But what he wants is to control Hollywood, to collect those women he wants to collect, then the power is always greater. Especially since he has tasted the sweetness of power, how can he be willing to let go easily?

Okay, back to the topic. The enthusiastic response cited after the release of "Forrest Gump" made many people unexpected. Several well-known film critics praised this as a masterpiece in unison, and the comments in the media were almost one-sided.

"This is an incredible work. We have forgotten all the well-known historical events in the past 50 years in Forrest Gump's running. We have also seen many long-lost spirits in Forrest Gump."-" Chicago Tribune

“Although there are still flaws in the film, Tom Hanks’ superb acting makes up for it. He interprets a mildly mentally retarded but honest and brave character quite credibly.” — The Wall Street Journal

"I can only say that Director Miracle has created a miracle again. In this movie, A-Gump has become an incarnation of virtue. He is honest, trustworthy, serious, brave, and attaches great importance to feelings. He never minds others rejecting it, he is just open-minded and frankly facing life~IndoMTL.com~He concentrates his only wisdom, faith and courage on one point, he doesn’t care about anything, only knows that he doesn’t walk on the road with intuition Stop and run, this is exactly what we lack now.

With the rapid development of society, many people have lost themselves in the rapid change. Just like Jenny in the movie, she is almost the representative of those generations who were called the collapse in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite her crimes, she wanted to live herself, but she didn't understand what she was until the end. Lieutenant Dan is another person. They are immersed in the glory of the past and refuse to change or accept change. They also think that it is self.

Only A-Gump insists on his own perseverance, never changes or gives up, no matter how difficult it is, this is the true self. At the end of the film, Lieutenant Dan and Jenny, who represented the two outlooks on life, met for the only time. This can be seen as the radical and conservative views shaking hands after the xìng liberation movement was launched in the sixties and seventies. Under the influence of Forrest. So those seemingly stupid behaviors are the qualities that we should stick to, rather than being clever, only profiting from speculation and speculation. I can't help but think about how a great mother can educate such a child, please allow me to repeat that sentence: Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one tastes like.

Thanks to Director Miracle for bringing such an excellent work. "——Robert Cameron, a well-known film critic
