Vol 3 Chapter 200 promise
With the official release of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, various reviews have begun to appear on a large scale. Although many of them have given high scores, the tone and previous reviews of film critics are not too big difference.
How to shoot? Very good; hero and heroine? Good; shot cut? Very good; the main story line… well, what does the director want to tell people through such a reversal of the male protagonist? Yes, that’s right, Benjamin Button has met all kinds of characters, witnessed the tragedy of real life, and experienced the greatness of human nature, but… what is the movie trying to say?
“Even if the screenwriter was Eric Ross, even if the structure was similar to Forrest Gump, it wouldn’t fix the biggest question of the movie, where did its themes go? Yes, When the hero’s monologue sounded at the end, I met a lot of people, some struck by lightning, some made buttons, some dancers, some mothers, it was really touching, but it was still confusing after that, Benjamin Button used What does his life want to tell us?” This is an article on “Variety”, although it is not sharp, it puts the question in front of everyone unceremoniously.
Of course, someone must justify it, saying that it shows the impermanence of life, the humility and greatness of human nature, etc. But what they can’t deny is that “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, which is very similar in structure to “Forrest Gump”, is far less themed than “Forrest Gump”‘s “life is like chocolate” and “don’t care about cold eyes and Laugh at it, and then run all the way.” So stark.
However, this is always a well-made work, and this flaw may affect subsequent awards, but it does not make much difference to the audience.
So, after being released in nearly 3,000 theaters, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” scored nearly 40 million in the first week. In terms of David Fincher’s works, this first Weekly box office has been very good.
Speaking of which, Finch is also a very interesting director. Since he actually directed the first film “Seven Deadly Sins”, his works have always been on the verge of loss. Many times it looks like it will definitely lose money, but in fact, the cost is recovered. Even if the loss is really lost, it will not be too completely lost, and there is still room for circles.
So the big studios both love and hate Finch, and they won’t get any awards, but they can always cause a topic. However, many actors did exude a unique brilliance in his films. Even the most commercial “Mind Game” came out. After it came out, film critics still praised Michael Douglas and Sean Penn for their performances with It’s a completely different feeling from before.
Not to mention Brad Pitt, he was able to secure his position, and the best acting works are all with David Fincher. So even though the big studios have a love-hate relationship with Finch, many actors still want to work with him one after another, and Sean is one of them.
“Of course, definitely, and with a lot of fanfare.” When Sean said this to Frederick, it was already the first weekend of January 2009.
As always, the arrival of the awards season has made the PR people very active, and the actors have begun to run around to win honors for themselves, so Frederick ran to the “Artist” crew that was already on. , ask Sean what to do with this year’s awards season.
Although “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is slightly flawed, Sean’s performance is still recognized by everyone. Even if the special effects and makeup techniques have to be divided, at least it still looks very good. competitive.
So Sean has the above answer, jokingly, isn’t the reason why he cooperated with Finch for the future award season? The thought at the time was that if Milk lost, then at least one more hole card could be played this year to prove that he would lose because of luck.
What I didn’t expect was that things really developed like this, so when the awards season comes this year, it is natural to have a big PR, even film critics say that Oscar owes him a golden statue, doesn’t it?
“Okay, I see,” Frederick replied, “But don’t worry, does the Academy of Film really compensate you for a golden statuette for best actor?”
“So what?” Sean spread his hands, “Could it be that because they made compensation, “The Artist” is going to be abandoned?”
That’s right, since “The Artist” has already started filming, and it is starring with Naomi, and you have made so much effort, should you give up because of this trivial matter?
It’s just a small matter, because Sean definitely doesn’t believe that the Film Academy will give him a golden statue this year to make up for last year, not to mention that Lewis is indeed eligible for the award, the compensation from the Film Academy has always been It’s been a long, long time, so Frederick’s worries are unreasonable.
“Okay, I will communicate with Sanders.” After confirming his attitude, the agent nodded immediately to show he knew.
Then, he thought for a while, but still opened his mouth to remind: “You have to be careful, many media say that you and Kate have a wonderful chemistry in the movie, if we want to do PR , there may be something to mention in this regard.”
Sean frowned, Frederick was the only one who knew about him and Kate: “I know this, as long as you don’t have a problem, I won’t be here. There will be problems.”
Frederick wanted to say a few words, but seeing his appearance, he finally just shrugged. Seeing his agent leave, Sean sighed softly, and his thoughts involuntarily returned to two days ago.
Three of his children, including the girl who gave birth last October, are not his.
Kate didn’t say anything at the time, just left “I don’t know what you’re talking about” and ran out in a hurry, Sean didn’t chase, from her shocked look and hesitation The tone of voice knows that this is true.
Yes, Kate’s three children, the previous two boys, and the girl who was born just last year, are his children, this is really a… I don’t know how to say a joke.
So Sean didn’t chase her out. After Kate calmed down for a while, she finally secretly asked her out two days ago.
“Yes, they are all…” Kate said that as soon as they met, and her eyes were red, and it was more than half an hour late, and she obviously stopped by the roadside and cried bitterly.
“I’m sorry, Kate, I’m sorry.” Sean hugged her and comforted her for the first time, and then she cried out again with a wow.
“I never thought it would be like this, I’m always worried about what to do if I get found out one day… I’m such a stupid and scumbag woman.” Kate calmed down and began to ramble When I got up, the deep worry in my heart was beyond words, “I thought… I thought this problem happened once, but… it’s all yours… As soon as Eleanor was born, I secretly had someone make an appraisal… God…”
Obviously, these words were only buried in the bottom of her heart before, and no one could tell them. Even once this kind of thing is a huge scandal, let alone twice or three times. Now Sean has revealed The lid, the heavy pressure loosened, and then recklessly revealed it.
So Sean can only hold her tightly, in this way to give her a sense of security as much as possible, he should have said something, but he couldn’t say anything after a few mouths speak out.
Although Kate took the blame on herself, Sean knew very well that if he hadn’t teased her in the first place, none of this would have happened. And when you are making out with her, pay more attention and use raincoats more, instead of trying to prove that she is yours, and always throw them in it. The chances of this happening are also very small.
“I’m sorry, Kate, I’m sorry.” He could only say in this guilty tone.
Kate has herself in her heart, and her position is very important. She knows from her just taking responsibility, so how can Sean bear to let her bear everything.
“Listen to me, Kate, listen to me,” after Kate finally finished venting, Sean held her face and looked her in the eyes and said, “Don’t be afraid, don’t worry , I asked this question before, just want to know the answer, I have no purpose.”
He paused here, waited for Kate to put away her own arrogance, and then continued: “You can lead them to live your own life, I will never force anything, even if You need me to have nothing to do with them – of course, if I could meet up once in a while, I’d be…very happy.”
He said and bit his lip, as if he had made up his mind: “I hope you can be happy, Kate, I hope you can live a happier life… Although I am not qualified to say this, but …If, I mean if, they’re found out, and it’s really irreversible, you can come to me.”
Sean grabbed Kate’s hand, put it on his lips and kissed gently, then looked at her firmly: “I will marry you, Kate, I swear, I will marry you, I will marry you publicly, no matter what others think, this is my promise to you, the only promise I can give you!”
Indeed, in any case, he owes Kate, and owes a lot. But he still refused to let go. Kate also held a very important position in his heart, so that was the only way.
But Kate wasn’t angry or dissatisfied, she just stared at Sean for a long time, then suddenly jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly, never so tight Pass.
In fact, women seem to want a lot, but after a careful analysis, they actually want only one thing, and that is a sense of security. One-night love only needs to look at the eyes, but for a long time, men need to give women a sense of security. This is determined by genes. No matter how powerful a strong woman is, deep down, she longs for a man to rely on.
Sean may understand or may not understand, but he at least knows that what he has promised must be done, and he also insists that if he has to do it, he must do his best, and this is the case in work , the same is true in life.
