Chapter 44—Masterpiece

I have to say that the beginning of the movie is indeed exquisite. In the light music, a white feather flutters with the wind, from the sky to the city, from the city to the trees, from the trees to the street, from the street to the protagonist's shoes. A very simple shot also evoked the curiosity of the audience.

The next thing is to introduce A-Gump through the lens, just a few words. A man with a little humor and a kind heart suddenly jumped on the screen. Tom Hanks' acting skills were really excellent. Then, the memories began. There wasn't much in the beginning of the plot. It was just that the story of A-Gump's mother who had to agree with the principal in order to allow her son to enter the normal school won some sighs.

However, very soon, the first startling egg appeared: Elvis knew the swing dance because of A-Gump. Although the tenant's face was blurred and there was no front camera, A-Gump's dance steps and subsequent street dancing The pictures you see on the TV in the side window all point to this.

"This is too exaggerated," Adrian apparently heard someone mutter in front of him.

"Why did you think of planning such a plot?" Gwennis couldn't help but asked in a curious voice in his ear, the heat blew into his ears, and itching was very nasty.

"Don't worry, there are more interesting plots next." Adrian patted with a smile on her thigh.

That's right, soon followed by a series of interesting plots that put A-Gump into historical events, such as Alabama's rejection of black enrollment, or Kennedy borrowing from the National University Star Team and putting it in the White House bathroom, Photos of Kennedy and Monroe, etc. Every time this kind of episode appeared, whether it was A-Gump beckoning at the camera in front of the university, or saying "I want to put water" to Kennedy, there will be irresistible laughter.

Of course, these are just a part of A-Gump's experience. While telling these stories, the characters are gradually getting fuller. The two most important women in his life, Mom and Jenny, have also become prominent.

If at the beginning, the audience still regarded the movie as a story about the mentally retarded, then after the characteristics of A-Gump were revealed one by one, they have gradually changed this view.

Especially when A-Gump joined the army, he replied to the sergeant who ruled them: being a soldier is to listen to your orders. Then I got an evaluation of "You are really his genius, at least your IQ is above, and I want to recommend you to a military school", and the laughter rang again in the hall, and then came from not far behind Adrian A subtle voice: "Somewhat like Rain Man, mentally retarded but strong in some ways, but more interesting and attractive ..."

The guy closed his mouth before he finished speaking, because all the people around him cast angry eyes, not because he said something wrong, but because he thought that he had disturbed everyone to enjoy the movie. From here, we can see the audience Has been fully integrated into it.

Next came the Vietnam War, which was painful for all Americans, and Lieutenant Dan, one of the three most important people in A-Gump's life, also came along. Although Babu was his good friend, he accomplished his shrimp fishing career. , But still not enough weight compared to the other three. The appearance of Lieutenant Dan was very interesting. When A-Gump introduced his family to death in every war in the United States, the montage was continuously switched. Until World War II, there was another laugh in the auditorium.

But it was also this introduction that made the audience understand why Lieutenant Dan always felt angry about A-Gump after being rescued. Why did A-Gump yell "I should die here when he was running with him" "After that, those perverse and crazy behaviors have a reasonable explanation. The audience began to become thoughtful while sighing.

The story continued to show down, returned to the country with injuries, was met by Nixon, and participated in anti-war parade insidiously, and then reunited with Jenny. Forrest Gump participated in more and more historical events, such as becoming a reporter of the Watergate incident, or participating in table tennis to China-the Soviet-style game venue, and the cut out with John Column The discussion of Nong about China made the audience speak loudly.

Although so many years have passed and so many things have happened, A-Gump's love for her mother, Jenny, and Lieutenant Dan's friendship has never changed, and she has even afforded the life of the Babu family. Even with countless failures during the **** process, he still insisted on not shrinking.

"Stupid people do stupid things." When someone says he is stupid, he always answers like this, which is as impressive as "Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one is like".

Finally, A-Gump's efforts were rewarded. In the face of the storm, the shrimp fishing boats were destroyed, leaving only Jenny, and he and Lieutenant Dan also made a fortune.

When the third listener learned that the boss of Babu-Shrimp Industry was sitting next to him, when the unbelieving Haha left with a smile, the audience in the screening room laughed with a little ridicule, only A few talents are now in this role.

"Your acting skills are also good, Ed." Gwenny said with a surprise in his ear.

"Okay, after all, only a few minutes." Adrian responded with a smile, leaving her hand on her thigh without leaving.

Such a laughter got a letter from Lieutenant Dan that "we don't have to worry about money, he invested in a fruit company". The letter of the Apple company on the letterhead became bigger, but at the same time More evocative and thinking.

The film is not just about the life of A-Gump. In addition, she wears cha and Jenny and Lieutenant Dan. In contrast, she wants to win honor for the family and thinks that she should die on the battlefield. Lieutenant Dan; and Jenny, who pursues freedom and self, mixed with hippies, is drug addict and liberated. Instead, after deciding on his own goals, A-Gump, who persisted in persevering and succeeded, achieved success. I have to say that it is meaningful.

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

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

The booing sound rang in the screening room, and many people felt worthless to A-Gump. Who can love him like a woman for more than ten years? Even Gwyneth by Adrian looked slightly surprised.

Although in his eyes, Adrian didn't take his mind too much. The reason why movies are so attractive is that they can show on the big screen those things that are impossible in life, or those with few chances. The best is here. Every woman and woman will hope that a man will wait for her life like this. Every woman's heart is eager for 1ang, but after all, reality is reality. Sooner or later, if you wake up from your dream, Hollywood women will wake up faster.

Jenny left without saying good-bye. Forrest Gump started the running operation that runs through the North and South of the United States again and again, and still participated in the history of the United States in his unique way-cultural shirts, insurance, and so on.

Finally, Jenny returned to A-Gump's side and brought him a smart child. Although the bug here is obvious, when Jenny said that she was infected with a virus, she might die soon. From the previous judgments, this was obviously insinuating AIDS. In this case, although AIDS is not transmitted by shaking hands, it is easy to pass it on to the next generation. How healthy can A-Gump's children be?

However, the audience chose to ignore this problem. During these two broadcasts, A-Gump's spirit has infected them. Even if there is such a bug, it doesn't matter. A-Gump deserves his own happiness.

The story is coming to an end. A-Gump and Jenny are married. Although her mother has gone to heaven, the black housekeeper saw this scene on her behalf. Lieutenant Dan also came. When I saw Jenny, everything was so calm and beautiful. Even if Jenny left A-Gump completely soon, he was not alone, and he had children who could go to school.

The familiar light music sounded again, and the white feather falling from the book pages on the shoes floated again, flying higher and higher, and finally flying into the blue sky.

After the subtitles were completely played, the lights in the projection room turned on, and there were some noisy sounds before, but at this moment they suddenly disappeared strangely, as if never before. After a few seconds, the applause rang, first by one person, followed by several people, and then more and more, the applause increased, and finally the ears were deaf and almost lifted the ceiling down.

All kinds of people crowded close to each other, smiling and shaking hands with him with smiles, sincere and envious, and envious and hateful. From this, the head gun of "Forrest Gump" has already sounded louder. Already. Adrian responded one by one, and after leaving Gwennes out of the screening room, the turbulent crowd was not scattered.

"Bang, Ed, this is one of the best movies I've seen." Spielberg pulled him to say that, he can see that he likes the movie very much, but there is some regret between the eyebrows. look.

"Thank you, it's a great honor to get such a compliment from you." Adrian nodded, thinking a little thought and guessing what he was sorry for, presumably felt that he had not joined the reflection on the experience of the Jews after World War II.

Of course, he also knows that this is not appropriate, and Adrian is posing for the Oscars. Last year he won the best director and best film for this subject, and Adrian would still feel duplicated in this way. Besides, this is an American theme movie, so Spielberg just regretted it and adjusted it immediately.

"Frankly, without Tommy, this movie will be a lot of eclipse. I said before that he really acted like what. Last year's AIDS man was already amazing, but now this forrest Gump It's totally unrelated to that character. "Adrian immediately praised Tom Hanks.

"Well, Ed, if you keep talking, I will be embarrassed." Hanks grinned, looking very modest.

"Ed is telling the truth, you're really good, Tommy." Spielberg showed a serious look.

Adrian saw a slight movement in his eyes, and suddenly said, "Steven, what do you think of Tommy?"

Spielberg froze, looked at Hanks seriously, and nodded: "You can try."

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

"Don't worry, Tommy, this is just the beginning-not even the beginning, just a plan, you'll know when that happens." Adrian patted his shoulder with a smile. Hanks wanted to ask again, but his wife pulled him lightly, and Hanks immediately understood, nodded and smiled and stopped talking.

Adrian and Spielberg talked about, of course, the new script he was invited to provide to him before, and nothing else. It was the film "Saving Soldier Ryan" with the most miserable title. In fact, what I want to say is the second part of The Lost World in Jurassic Park. Michael Clayton has already completed the second part. According to the earliest contract, he also sold the adaptation rights to Adrian. DreamWorks is a perfect fit.

But the problem is that because he had also signed a contract with Universal when he was traveling, Universal would also have to join it if he took a sequel. This would not be in line with DreamWorks ’exclusive strategy. Thinking about going to Adrian, I thought of Stephen from a while ago. E. Eminem Bruce bought the adaptation of "Brothers", so he explained the idea of ​​"Saving Soldier Ryan".

"About people xìng and war, the paradox of eight save one, this is the theme of this movie. To be honest, if I am not familiar with the subject of war, and I still lack in the scheduling of large scenes, I would not Guide you, Steven. "Adrian said after the introduction.

"So I took a big advantage," Spielberg said with a smile, with an inexplicable look in his eyes. "I never thought you could come up with such a great idea in such a short time."

"It's nothing. I already had this idea when I read" Brothers ". At that time, the Americans should be considered the strongest generation." Adrian said calmly.

Now that this film has been selected, and just as the first protagonist Captain Miller is now, Adrian naturally reminded Spielberg. It is a little regrettable that from the preparation to the shooting to the later stage, it will not be released in the next year. Next year will be the anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war. Not only may the box office be higher than the original, but it may also allow Tom to win the Oscar for best actor for the third time.

Of course, this idea turned around in his mind and was put aside. Hanks was lucky to be reelected twice. If the release times of "The Story of Philadelphia" and "The Legend of Forrest Gump" are adjusted, Han It is almost impossible to win two Oscars for Best Actor in a row, and three times in a row is even more impossible.

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 money-making movies, how can we regret it now? Yes, this is greedy, but greed is good-as long as you can control it.

If Adrian just wants to be a big director and just wants to play with women casually, naturally he doesn't need to do this. But what he wants is to control Hollywood, to collect the women he wants to collect, then the power is always bigger the better. Especially since he has tasted the sweetness of power, how can he let go easily?

Well, back to the topic, the enthusiastic response after the release of "The Legend of Forrest Gump" surprised many people, and several well-known film critics praised it in unison. This is a masterpiece, and the comments in the media are almost one-sided.

"This is an incredible work. We relived all the well-known historical events in the past 50 years during the running of A-Gump. We also saw a lot of long-lost spirit in A-Gump." — Chicago Tribune 》

"Although there are flaws in the movie, Tom Hanks's superb acting skills make up for it. He interprets a character who is mildly mentally retarded, but honest and brave, to be quite believable." —— The Wall Street Journal

"I can only say that the miracle director has created a miracle again. In this film, A-Gump has become the embodiment of virtue. He is honest, trustworthy, serious, brave and valued his feelings. Mind if others refuse, he is just open-minded and open to face life ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ He focuses his only wisdom, conviction, courage on one point, he cares nothing, only knows that he keeps on the road with intuition Running, this is exactly what we lack now.

With the rapid development of society, many people have lost themselves in the rapid changes, just like Jenny in the movie. She is almost the representative of the generation that was once called the collapsed in the 1960s and 1970s. Sin, 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 is the self.

Only A-Gump persists in his perseverance, never changes and never gives up, no matter how great difficulties he encounters, and this is the true self. At the end of the film, Lieutenant Dan and Jenny, who represent the two outlooks on life, had the only time to meet. This can be seen as the radical and conservative views of the two sides after the xìng liberation movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Under the influence of A-Gump. So those seemingly stupid behaviors are the qualities we should insist on, not cleverness, but profit and speculation. I can't help thinking, what a great mother can educate such a child, please allow me to repeat the sentence: Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one tastes like.

Thanks to Director Miracle for bringing such a great work. "——Famous film critic Robert Cameron
