Chapter 73 Director and Characters
Ask for a recommendation! Ask for collection!
Intense explosions and action scenes emerge in an endless stream, and the cold humor mixed in them will timely relieve the audience's nervousness to the point that they may break the nerves. The applause broke out on Alcatraz for the first time, and the film finally ushered in the final moment.
Hurry up, hurry up!
The nervous and excited voices of the fans came from the rear. Sarah understood their feelings. The bumblebee of the Air Force was about to fly over Alcatraz Island. If Gusby couldn't rush out in time, the island would surely become a sea of fire.
Run! Run quickly!
Even the media booth near her came out cheering for Gusby.
At this time, Gusby was injured and his consciousness began to blur, but his pregnant fiancée had already arrived in San Francisco, 81 hostages were still trapped in Alcatraz prison, and the federal government's air raid had begun, so he needed to Firm up your awareness and keep sending the green signal!
The film is starting to slow down, Sarah whispered.
The rhythm of the film here is obviously relieved a lot, and the color of the picture is more intense, which can just show a close-knit scene. With the fighter jets in the picture rushing to Alcatraz, Gusby stood up and sent the signal with difficulty. Nervous mentality, a kind of anxious mentality that everyone does not know whether the task is successful or not, and is highly nervous, it is just right.
Who says Duke Rosenberg can only shoot fast-paced action scenes? This scene clearly makes people feel the complex mood of all the characters in the film.
It's a feeling Sarah herself can't explain, but Duke Rosenberg's gorgeous imagery, paired with a heavy, soothing soundtrack, perfectly complements each other.
Especially the telephoto lens in the distance captures the moment when the protagonist sends a green signal, which represents hope and the end. The picture is transferred to the FBI headquarters along with the music. When the order to cancel the attack is issued, the audience squeezes a hand Khan's emotions began to gradually dissipate in an instant, turning to hope.
Although there is still a dramatic plot like the bomb perspective that is the finishing touch of the whole film's production technology, but at this point in the film's development, all emotional expressions have ended!
As a national hero, General Hammer did not hesitate to use force to violate the ban and earn a pension for his comrades, but he took his own life. He could have retired and lived in peace; Before that thing loses its function, he gained the freedom he longed for; Goospie was sitting on his sweet wife and reaping the truth of the century-old mystery of Kennedy's assassination.
For General Hammer, Sarah felt a little regretful. Can he and his comrades pay the price of their lives to obtain normal courtesy for the fallen soldiers?
Just thinking about it for a while, Sarah let go of this regret. In fact, the film has already explained it implicitly. The federal government, which is good at covering up the facts in the film, cannot be expected at all. Since justice cannot be pinned on General Hammer, naturally It cannot be placed on the President of the Federation who knows the truth.
They have not compromised on terrorism, but are good at buck-passing and indifference.
At the end of the film, Sarah has no desire to attend the premiere press conference. She is most interested in the young director of the film, but she has interviewed Duke Rosenberg, and she can see that the other party doesn't like it very much. When dealing with the media, what you say is often a formula formulated in advance by the public relations. The director is only a behind-the-scenes profession, and he will not mention any new and interesting topics at the press conference.
Delegating the interview rights to her own cameraman, Sarah simply sat here and recalled the Brave Island she just watched.
There is no doubt about the excitement of the film, Duke Rosenberg's directing technique is also more sophisticated and smooth, and the performances of several main actors are also perfect.
Sarah remembers very clearly that before the role of Gusby, Nicolas Cage's play has always been offbeat, wild, borderline, often played some neurotic roles, and almost never appeared in mainstream commercial films, but Gusby is a nerd. The eyes that look around at any time because of nervousness; the legs that keep swinging in the cabin; and the smile that Mason forcibly squeezes out when he is alone, all fully reflect his acting skills.
The role of Christopher Lee, who was fired in advance to a legendary level, can only be described as very successful. With silver beard and hair, wrinkles on his face, strong voice, and cold temperament, he is graceful, calm, wise, brave and decisive. The image of the old secret agent is vividly on the screen, especially the kind of fierce breath that can't be said but clearly felt, people can't help but think of his real experience, he is definitely John Mason's natural actor candidate.
General Hammer played by Ed Harris is her favorite character. The one-man show for nearly four minutes at the beginning is really handsome, and the medal covering almost the entire front of the chest shows his merit; Sincerely, there is no more perfect soldier image than him...
There are also two monologues in the film, which reflect his deep line skills and acting skills, while Mason's line He is a soldier, not a murderer; the president's line We ignore a great soldier like Hammer, for this The character is defined - he's a patriot!
Even, Sarah thinks Ed Harris is fully qualified for an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but unfortunately the subject and genre of the movie...
Not to mention the three leading actors, even the actress who played Gusby's fiancee was outstanding. Perhaps because of the role setting, there was not much room for acting skills, but the beautiful screen image made people's eyes shine, especially It is the kind of soft temperament that can inspire protection, and it also reflects the need for Gusby to take risks!
Although she is not a particularly professional person, Sarah, as a worker in a related industry, still has basic judgment on her acting skills. Several main actors in Brave the Dead Island are extremely brilliant.
If you count Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves who were popular in Speed of Life, Duke Rosenberg is obviously unique in selecting actors and mobilizing actors on the spot.
Think about it, Duke Rosenberg, who controls all the human and material resources of Brave Island, is only 23 years old. This is only his second feature film and the first A-level production. , but its skill is enough to shame many directors in their 40s and 50s.
However, the young director who was highly praised by the female reporter, after answering a few clichéd questions, gave the press conference to the actors who were more able to attract the attention of the media and the public. resting place.
This is the need for a film's publicity strategy. In this day and age, no film's publicity will center on the director. Even Jurassic Park, which was released in June, did not focus on Spielberg.
Sophia...
After looking around and not finding his mother, Duke walked directly to Sofia Coppola and asked, Where's my mother?
Auntie Leah just answered a call, Sophia pointed to the chair next to her, and waited for Duke to sit down before she said calmly, It seems to be a call from a lingerie manufacturer, she's going to New York. .
Hearing these words, Duke immediately thought of Victoria's Secret, which is Santa Fe's biggest business now. It must be an urgent matter. After he found his mobile phone, he called his mother and said briefly. In other words, things are more or less as guessed.
Hi, Duke.
A brown-haired woman in a short, low-cut evening dress walked over, Long time no see.
Sania... Duke stood up and shook it gently on the outstretched hand of the female singer, You came to the premiere too? Why didn't I see you?
I'm a little late. Shania Twain raised her hand to straighten her hair that was blown away by the sea breeze. Just as she was about to say something, her agent came over and reminded, Sania, we should return San Francisco.
immediately.
Waving to the back, Shania Twain leaned into Duke's ear and whispered, I live in Suite 1706 of the Fairmont Hotel on Mason Street.
I like this room. Duke blew the strands of hair that wafted from her forehead.
Smiling to Sofia Coppola, Shania Twain stepped on high heels and turned away, leaving Duke with a sexy back.
It's not your first time, isn't it? Sophia looked at Duke with her arms crossed and stabbed him, It seems that there will be no shortage of women around you in the future.
There's no way... Duke shrugged and put on a rather flat tone, Who made me the most attractive Hollywood director.
Sofia Coppola rolled her eyes immediately, almost vomited.
Only with familiar friends like Sophia, Duke will make some jokes. He is not a rigid dogma, nor is he a person full of humor.
A little bit of stars against the San Francisco Bay, a ferry shuttle between Alcatraz Island and the pier in San Francisco, after the baptism of the hustle and bustle and the explosion of the screen, the island has regained its calm.
It was late at night. After Duke disembarked, he explained a few words to Sophia and went directly to the appointment at the Fairmont Hotel. On this night, he was not the only one who was in a hurry. In Los Angeles in the south, the premiere of the Holy Auditorium also fell. After the curtain was lifted, the main actors such as Tom Cruise left with full confidence amid the besieged by media reporters.
The main creators of the two crews can rest, but the relevant staff will continue to be busy. It will not be long before the midnight show of the film will kick off. Investigation and consultants located all over the United States will rush to major theaters to collect Feedback from fans of the midnight show so that the distribution company can make appropriate adjustments in time.
The midnight show is a special show for die-hard movie fans. Fans of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are already ready to go, just waiting for the moment the movie is released.
Compared with the natural advantages of the cast of Interview with the Vampire, the midnight scene of Brave to the Dead Island is a little weaker. There are almost no fans of directors in this era. Ed Harris, Nicholas Kay The box office appeal of Chi and Christopher Lee combined, I am afraid that they are not as good as Tom Cruise.
