After filming a few sniper scenes, Matthew had a rare day off, and Clint Eastwood turned to the interior of the small town that was used as a location to shoot some street fighting.

Street fighting is the most brutal, especially for Iraqis who are extremely hostile to the invaders, armed with faith and fearless.

The vast sea of mass warfare is terrifying, and the war wisdom of the Iraqis, who have been poisoned by the US military, is endless.

Both car bombs and suicide bombs are pieces of cake.

Matthew stood behind Clint Eastwood's director's chair and watched the crew shoot.

A group of American GIs slowly approached a room in the rubble, the wooden door in front of them blocked the view, Scott Eastwood, who took the lead, made a tactical gesture behind him, and immediately a GI quickly walked in front of him, and under the cover of his teammates, raised his foot and kicked open the wooden door.

The two soldiers flashed into the room one after another, their guns pointed at the front, and the people behind them were also on full alert, showing excellent combat qualities.

The screams of women and children rang out in the room.

"Let me see your hands!" a soldier shouted in Arabic.

"Safety!" another soldier shouted.

Scott Eastwood walked inside, and several soldiers cautiously checked the room, finding no weapons or any dangerous items.

There were only women and children in the room, an older woman with wrinkles on her face like tree bark, and a younger woman with a headscarf on her head, cowering and looking very frightened.

Two other children were hiding behind them.

Seeing this, most people couldn't help but relax their vigilance, and just when the American GIs wanted to evacuate, the young woman suddenly lowered her hand, took out a Russian-made grenade from the position under the black robe that should be the crotch of her pants, and pulled the pull ring without hesitation, as if she didn't care about the lives of the two children behind her.

Shots rang out, and Scott Eastwood flew out of the door.

Director Clint Eastwood called for filming to stop, all the cast of the crew withdrew from the room, the pyrotechnics entered the setup, and just ten minutes later, filming began again, and there was a violent explosion in this room, many American GI-like dummies, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

There was also a miserable howl on the set.

There was no Chris Kyle on the scene in this scene, Matthew didn't participate in the previous rehearsals, and he didn't carefully check the scene setting, and when he saw this attack scene carefully choreographed by Clint Eastwood, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, it turned out that the trick of hiding mines in the crotch of his pants had spread to Iraq!

He said that he didn't expect to see the big trick of hiding mines in the crotch of his pants in Hollywood movie shooting.

But after thinking about it, it seems to be in line with the truth.

It seems that Arab women wear black or other types of robes, covering themselves tightly, and there are looser trousers under the robes.

He hadn't studied Arab women's pants in the field, so he had no experience and could only guess.

If the pants are looser, the crotch should be larger, and it may not be a problem to accommodate a grenade, and the average person, even if they are very vigilant, will not go to inspect that kind of place.

Of course, Chris Kyle's original book did not describe it, and Matthew did not mention this kind of trick as a super killer, which was specially designed by the behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew.

Even if the American GIs are notoriously poor in military discipline, they can't take off their pants when they meet a woman.

Hollywood's brain hole is really big.

Matthew could only sigh like this, and after he finished sighing, he suddenly thought of a post he had read on the Internet.

It is said that in order to win the World War II, our army formed a powerful Red League of Heroes team, such as the super fierce man who can tear devils by hand, and the flying god who can ride a bicycle into the sky to intercept armored trains, but these are not enough to ensure the victory of our army, in order to win the war as soon as possible, our army decided to find the legendary ultimate weapon - Infinity Pants Crotch!"

The stunt of hiding mines in the crotch has spread all over the streets and alleys over there, so naturally there is no need to introduce more, the only thing that needs to be explained is that a grenade hidden in the crotch can blow up an enemy bunker. If you can hide six different grenades, you will get the highest explosive power...... However, no one knows exactly how far it will explode, as the infinity crotch that can hide the six thunders is now nowhere to be found......

The crew went into a break, and Scott Eastwood also came to direct the monitor, but Clint Eastwood, who had a more old-school style, directly rejected his idea of wanting to see the shots.

"So many years. Scott Eastwood watched the old cowboy go somewhere else and said to Matthew, "It's still so stubborn." ”

Matthew said lightly, "Sticking to tradition isn't necessarily a bad thing. ”

Scott Eastwood just shook his head.

Matthew also stopped talking, and Eastwood father and son were generally relatively harmonious, but it was inevitable that they would not like each other.

No enmity is not a father and son.

"That's right, Matthew. Scott Eastwood asked, "Chris Kyle is the best sniper who has sniped enemies more than 1,900 meters away." ”

Matthew thought for a moment, "It should be...... No way. ”

Scott Eastwood asked curiously, "Who else is better than him?"

"I don't know. Matthew shrugged, "There are some rumors, though, that rumored snipers are always better than they actually are. ”

He wouldn't tell Scott Eastwood about the legend that someone could take out an enemy machine gunner with a single shot from 800 miles away.

In some rumors, the master has always been among the people.

For example, a master who was killed by the enemy when he was nine years old, and his own grandson can avenge him.

The stunt of hiding mines in the crotch of his pants, taking out many American GIs, and even Scott Eastwood was injured, which will also be a major reason for Chris Kyle's return to Iraq from North America in future films.

The next day, Matthew returned to filming, and as filming progressed, he gradually grasped the psychological state of the character, or the kind of male lead that the film and director Clint Eastwood wanted.

Matthew tried to calm down and make himself as plain as possible, and in most of the shots, behind the sniper rifle, he did not have too much emotion and grief under his bearded face.

Clint Eastwood always maintained adequate communication with him during the filming.

"As a biographical film, the strict chronological order and the simple and quick switching of the protagonist's life to the four times entering the battlefield between the United States and Iran are the best perspective for the onlooker. The old cowboy said to Matthew, "You need to give us a believable character." ”

It's not that no one has questioned the authenticity of Chris Kyle's autobiographical memoir, and there are also people who have commented that his Americans are all good people, *** are all bad people's crude values.

Of course, a fool would believe that this autobiography is completely true.

But this does not prevent the adaptation of the film in the slightest, how many of Hollywood's autobiographical films can guarantee that they are 90% true?

The character in the film is placed on the battlefield, the primary consideration is only survival, and let more comrades-in-arms survive, after more and more comrades-in-arms are killed and wounded, his anger and sadness also have nowhere to vent, and he is also a person caught in the times and fate.

For the character played by Matthew, the experience of one shot and one life, when killing more than a hundred or even more people, all he wants is to keep his comrades safe.

is the only way to make the actor widely accepted by the audience.

The male protagonist is a brave guardian, not an attacker.

Yes, such a shoot must be telling lies with your eyes closed, everyone knows the that Lao Mei did in Iraq, but Matthew has done targeted market research, and what the audience wants to see is not a soft egg soldier who cries and is entangled in suicide, but a hero.

Knowing that the market needs this type of movie character, but still going the other way, isn't that asking for bankruptcy?

Since most of the audience in the United States is happy to believe in heroes, it is only natural that Matthew will continue to make heroes.

As for reflection and repentance, it's better to leave it to the directors and actors who are literary and artistic.

Halfway through filming in the Desert Town, Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle also arrive on set, and Matthew continues to discuss a character based on him with Chris Kyle.

Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle have always been very happy with the film's character setting, and no one wants to be a weak-hearted fool when they appear on screen.

Although she did not participate in the filming, Margot Robbie also often came to the crew, and this time she happened to meet Taya Kyle, and Margot Robbie also asked Taya Kyle a lot of information about the situation of the male and female protagonists when they get along.

Chris Kyle is attacked by the person he helps, and his friend is directly killed, which has a great impact on him, and Matthew can also feel this from his contact with him.

Everybody is complex, Matthew himself is a very complex person, and Chris Kyle is also complex.

On the one hand, Chris Kyle wants to be more famous and earn more, and on the other hand, he really wants to help more veterans.

In view of the fact that the relationship between the two parties is not bad, Matthew also persuaded Chris Kyle a few words, professional things should be left to professionals to do, and there is a psychiatrist to heal psychological trauma, and he, a very good former sniper who is a veteran, it is better to stand in the back and do some auxiliary work.

After all, not every veteran can live well.

When you meet someone like Eddie Rolls again, you can't suppress your anger when you see that you are better off than him, and maybe at some point you will be shot in the back.

No matter how good a sniper is, he can't stop the bullets.

The crew's filming in the desert continued until mid-November, with Matthew being the first to leave the crew and return to Los Angeles to work on other aspects of the work, and "Twilight" was about to celebrate the fourth installment of the series during Thanksgiving.
