895 [Whitewashing Carl]
And what surprised Luo Yuan was that compared to herself, Ai Xiaoai seemed to like to brush up on movie reviews more, looking at those film critics' evaluations of Luo Yuan, someone praised Luo Yuan, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, and when she saw someone black Luo Yuan, she would have a little low pressure, so Luo Yuan comforted: "The film review system is almost over." β
"That's not going to be fun. β
Ai Xiao Aine pouted and pointed to a post on the computer: "This landlord even whitewashed Ruth's fiancΓ© Carl, saying that Jack is a male junior, and intervened in the relationship between Ruth and Carl, it's nonsense, this Carl is a bad guy......"
Luo Yuan said: "I think Carl is quite pitiful. β
Ai Xiaoai rolled her eyes at Luo Yuan: "You said Carl is pitiful?"
You must know that Carl, as Ruth's fiancΓ©, performed far worse than Xu Renjie when the shipwreck came, and Xu Renjie was willing to die in the sea for Ruth, but Carl held a strange little girl and lied that she was his daughter, so he fooled and boarded the lifeboat......
It's just a bad director.
Luo Yuan can understand Ai Xiaoai's resentment.
He laughed: " There is no doubt that the love between Jack and Ruth is full of anger, and the audience hates Carl for being selfish and wasting every chance of escape on jealousy and conspiracy, but there are some details that many people have not discovered, the first time is at the beginning of the film, he walked into Ruth's room and saw the paintings she collected, there is no doubt that he doesn't understand and doesn't care about art, he is a businessman through and through, he laughed and said, Ruth likes these paintings, what Picasso and the like, as if it is full of disdain and mockery, and in that mockery there is a trace of bitterness, he can't integrate into her world, he can't understand her, and he can't understand art, he continuedShe has to take these paintings with her every time she goes out, which shows that he has love for Ruth, not just because he needs a beautiful and young wife, but because he has love, although this love is also full of a strong businessman's atmosphere, which he is powerless to change and does not realize, if he just wants her to be a vase by his side, then he will not care about her preferences, he will not take the trouble to take her paintings with him on every trip, and he will not understand her habits so much, because he cares about her. β
Ai Xiaoai: "......"
Luo Yuan continued: " He saw Jack who rescued Ruth on the deck, and then he glanced at Jack vigilantly, and then turned around and hugged Ruth and left immediately, that look was complicated and cold, because he probably understood what was going on, out of an instinctive vigilance, he felt that this person was different from Ruth, so he didn't care about gentlemanly demeanor and immediately took Ruth out of here, when the crew offered to give Jack some compensation, he invited him to the first class for dinner, it was simply a little trick of love, he hoped that he would make a fool of himself, he hoped that Ruth would find him good through the comparison between him and this poor boy, and the essence of the merchant was also vivid, and he could thank him without paying a pennyEmotional and monetary factors are intricately intertwined, and this is Carl. β
Ai Xiaoai was stunned.
She had never thought from Carl's point of view.
And Luo Yuan, he didn't think about it so much at first, he also regarded Carl as a villain, maybe this is what Cameron meant, but the actor who plays Carl is a big-name Western actor, this actor likes "Pearl" very much, and he also has his own understanding of Carl's role, he thinks that Carl should not be a face-painted villain, but a businessman who really likes Ruth-
Luo Yuan discussed this matter with the main creator of the crew.
In the end, everyone also agreed that it was no problem to shape Carl in this direction, so some people on the Internet whitewashed Carl, but in Luo Yuan's view, this is not whitewashing at all, it is just an attribute that cannot be forced on love itself.
"Then it's the third-class party. β
Luo Yuan said: "This plot is actually the plot of Jack and Ruth having a good feeling for each other, so let's see what Carl is doing, in fact, he still maintains his gentlemanly demeanor, waiting for her to come at night, thinking that she will explain that she will treat him well, but not only did he not wait for him, but the next day, she drank tea casually and said: I'm too tired." β
Ai Xiaoai said: "Then he lifted the table." β
Luo Yuan expressed complete understanding: "In fact, he is no different from any young man who falls in love, young and impulsive, and can't find a proper way to redeem his woman, but this time he didn't touch Ruth, he vented his anger on the table, silently warned her not to mess around, and in the evening, he came to her again and took out the famous heart of the ocean." He was not the one to apologize, but he seemed to be unable to hold on beside her, and he wore a priceless gem around her neck, which was a silent apology and weight. He was a businessman, and his apologies were calculated, and he gave her the gem in advance, just to win back her heart. But he really didn't understand her. He also doesn't understand love, and that's where Carl fails. β
Ai Xiaoai: "......"
I always felt like I had watched a fake movie.
The next plot, Ai Xiaoai remembers very clearly, Carl saw Jack's nude painting for Ruth, Carl just wanted to tear up the painting at that time, but the nature of the merchant made him come up with a conspiracy, he always wanted to exchange the least price for the most profit, but he succeeded, Ruth returned to him, he sent her on the lifeboat, but she finally found out about his conspiracy, and chose to go to the poor boy, he was almost mad, and asked the servant next to him to go to her, and he himself went back to get the necklace and money, the woman, the necklace, the money, any of which he didn't want to give upγ
So should Carl be selfish or smart?
Luo Yuan seems to like to subvert Ai Xiaoai's view of the movie: "After getting the necklace and money back, Carl saw Ruth following Jack's ass again, at this time he was already angry, but if you look carefully, you will find a very interesting scene, that is, he was angry, and actually lied to coax her to get on the boat first, smiled and comforted her and said I have arranged it, I promise you, take Jack away, what do you think Carl's purpose is, is it to let Jack die, or let Ruth live?"
"I guess he really loves Ruth. β
Ai Xiaoai's views seem to have gradually changed.
Luo Yuan said: "The only purpose of his lie is just to coax her on the boat, of course he knows what it means to get on the boat, when the two men in Ruth's life lie on the railing and look at her, smiling and saying goodbye to her, what is the difference between these two men? The only moment of their unity is for her life, and the only thing they have in common is that they love her." β
"But didn't Carl escape in the end?"
Ai Xiaoai retorted, but her voice was not very loud.
Luo Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "Ruth finally chose to jump ship, and when she lived and died with Jack, Carl's last boarding opportunity was in front of him, but he gave up, but the audience often only saw Ruth give up the boarding opportunity a few times and chose to be with Jack, but they didn't see it, Carl did the same thing before." Ruth gave up twice, Carl gave up twice. Ruth for Jack, Carl for Ruth. He was young and vigorous, and he was emotional, and he was eventually carried away by jealousy, and he drew a gun and shot the lovers. If his nature is really so selfish and cold, then how can he be so mad? The bullets ran out, but none of them hit, and his expression of holding the gun but not being able to fire the bullets was really desperate, so he gave up. At last he found out that the diamond had been given to her, and in such a sarcastic and ridiculous way, he laughed and laughed at the drama of the matter, and laughed at the fact that he could not keep any of them, his two treasures. β
Ai Xiaoai froze.
Luo Yuan said: "But even as a director, there is a problem in this movie that I can't figure out by myself, that is, what Carl finally went to find among the survivors, is it Ruth, or Diamond, Ruth is what he loved madly, he has done a lot of impulsive stupid things for her, and Diamond is also something he has always been obsessed with, representing the businessman in his bones, at least one thing he said is right, those are his two treasures, two treasures that have been lost forever." β
"Let's go and see it again. β
Ai Xiaoai was silent for a few minutes, and then suddenly said, this time she wanted to watch the movie from a different angle, and Luo Yuan sighed, if it weren't for the actor who played Carl to have such an understanding of the role, I'm afraid the meaning of the movie would be a little bit dull, and he was very glad that he and a group of excellent actors had completed such a work.
