Chapter 823: Another Script

Of course, Song Zheng didn't have the ability to predict the future, Zhang Jingchu actually said to him "can't act", which was also unexpected by him, but fortunately, he had other preparations, and there happened to be a script in his hand, but this script was not just in case, in fact, the original owner of this script should be Fan Bingbing.

That time downstairs at Zhang Jingchu's house, Song Zheng promised Fan Bingbing to write a script for her again, in the past two years, Fan Bingbing has worked hard to get closer to the acting school, so he thought of this Hollywood literary film that had moved him in his previous life: "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds".

This is a movie that makes people cry when they watch it, and after watching it, they are more moved than tears, telling the story of two socially marginalized characters, with scars on their bodies, and finally discovering true love and finding themselves in the process of getting closer.

The hero and heroine are guarding their bottom line with Forrest Gump's persistence, and then gradually discover what they really want, their search and persistence, and falling in love, have become the most touching part of the whole story.

The director of this movie is David Russell, who is also an incredible guy, and the reason why he says this is because his works always bring some Hollywood little people to the top of their lives.

A "Fighter" allowed Christian Bale to get the coveted Oscar statuette, and also let the originally unknown Melissario also get an Oscar statuette.

Later, in "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds", Jennifer Lawrence was directly sent to the throne of the Oscar actress, and became the youngest actress in history.

Before "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds", Jennifer Lawrence could only be regarded as a rising star, at most one of the rising stars, but "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" completely changed her acting career.

As a small and broad, as a post-90s generation, he played a weather-beaten coquettish woman, and he actually performed a childish side without showing the immature side at all, full of the role itself, and forgetting the age of the actor.

Although the year she won the actress was related to the fact that the overall acting skills of other actresses were not outstanding enough, and there was a suspicion of choosing a general in a lame person, Lawrence's performance was undoubtedly the best in that year.

Appearing in the right year, and then winning the jackpot smoothly, this is somewhat of a bit of luck, but without strength, no matter how lucky it is, it is in vain.

And the same impressive is Bradley Koopa, before "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds", except for a few films such as "Neverending", good works are lackluster, although he is handsome enough, but as the first actor, there are not many opportunities to take the lead independently.

Even so, in "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", he managed to hold the role he played and made a deep impression. He plays Pat, a failed man who lost his job because of mental problems, was imprisoned in a mental hospital, and divorced, and was abandoned by society entirely.

But despite this, in his mind, his wife still loves him, and he is bent on recovering this relationship, so he tries every means to get close to his wife. But after he was released from the psychiatric hospital, his movement was restricted and he could not be left to chance.

In order to be able to communicate with his wife, Pat met Tiffany, and she promised to deliver mail for him, so Pat, who was locked in the door, opened up a little for Tiffany.

And Tiffany herself is a nuisance, her ex-husband died, and she also lost her job, and the reason why she lost her job was because she slept with almost every man in the company, and after becoming a rotten bitch in the eyes of others, she was abandoned by life.

And Pat's appearance made him see his deep love for his ex-wife, except for his ex-wife, any temptation was unmoved in Pat's eyes, such a dedicated and persistent man was exactly what Tiffany was looking for, she hoped that she was the person Pat loved.

To this end, she dances with Pat to win a dance performance award, intending to impress Pat in the process.

And the reason why Pat is willing to be with Tiffany is just to let Tiffany pass on the message to his ex-wife. He has a heart as simple and persistent as Forrest Gump.

But when he received a letter from his ex-wife, he finally realized that he could never get back what he wanted, and the letter was actually written by Tiffany himself.

Finally, Pat was moved and took Tiffany's hand, and the two crippled people, two hearts that also longed for love, finally walked together.

At that moment, when I saw Pat chasing out to catch up with Tiffany and holding the hand of his son, he was silent, inexplicably moved and hit the hearts of the moviegoers.

What this movie wants to tell people is that love is not something that can't be repeated. As long as the heart has something to ask for, what you want is right in front of you, just see how to pursue it, and hold the hand of fate at the right time. I don't believe in the haze, I don't believe in the dark clouds, because behind every dark cloud, the sun will still be shining. It is important to see the sun and grasp your own happiness line.

"The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is ostensibly a love story of two crazy people, but in fact, in addition to the two protagonists, a number of supporting characters in the film also suffer from different degrees of mental illness.

The first is Pat's friend, who usually suffers a lot at work, and when he comes home, he has to be strictly controlled by his wife, his iPod is full of heavy metal, death metal music, and his expression of enjoyment when describing those music proves that he is extremely depressed inside, without the support of those rock music, I am afraid that the hero of this movie is him.

The second, Robert De Niro's father, who lost his job and indulged in gambling, from the very beginning of putting the TV remote in a fixed position, to the time Pat had to sit next to him to bring him good luck, his obsession and superstition about gambling, as his son said, had reached the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The third, Pat's psychiatrist, had a solemn and elegant and lifeless face when talking about the treatment, and when talking about football star Shaun Jackson, he said "Shaun Jackson is great" excitedly, and after that, he was also the crazy fan with oil paint on his face and shirtless.

These so-called normal people are actually a quasi-mentally ill person in this harsh society.

And the heroes and heroines of the story can be regarded as sparks, as mentally deranged, their words and deeds can be described as very thunderous and very interesting.

For example, Pat would run in a garbage bag and often wake up his parents in the middle of the night, while Tiffany's quick talk and straightforwardness made a lot of jokes.

The encounter between the two is the so-called "the best meets the best", although it does not reach the level of hilarity, but the stupidity that is slightly revealed still makes people happy.

A "patient" who has just come out of a mental hospital and has not yet recovered, met another "madman" who is also hysterical, the sparks of the two burst out instantly, and the emotions without a sense of disobedience are intertwined, slowly advancing under the careful and interesting arrangement of the screenwriter, naturally, like all love, it also allows these two seemingly abnormal people to rediscover the direction of their lives, and the audience who has watched this film will say in their hearts that the two of them seem to be destined to each other in the dark, and use each other's love to influence each other and get a new life.

Pat mentions "every cloud has a silver lining" in several dialogues in the story, which translates to "the line of happiness behind the dark clouds" after being retouched, which is really appropriate.

These are Pat's words to keep himself optimistic and refresh himself, and from the beginning of the story, the director is instilling an atmosphere of "optimism", such as "excelsior" written on the wall.

The word comes from Latin and is equivalent to "ever upard", which means something like "never give up", not to give up.

Eight months in a psychiatric hospital were not easy, and all of Pat's mental support was not the stress reliever, but the wife who had betrayed him a long time ago.

It seems a bit of a scumbag, but from the fact that he later refused Tiffany's sexual invitation and repeatedly raised his left ring finger to emphasize that he was married, he was a traditional man at heart, he was crazy about love, and knew how to use love to contain anger and hate.

But the other side of Pat's personality can still be unpredictably revealed, hearing the song "Special Day" playing in the waiting room, tearing magazines off the shelves like a beast, and starving for wedding tapes in the utility room to attract police visits, these are Pat's outlets.

Tiffany's outlet is to provide sexual services to people in the office, Pat was the first person to refuse her sexual invitation, and then she was also moved by Pat's infatuation with his ex-wife, at a certain moment, Tiffany's heart grew the sprout of love, when the song came out of the store again, Pat lost control of his emotions again, Tiffany's comfort, made people want to laugh again, and a little touched.

The desire to send a letter back is just to capture Pat's heart, and when the two happily kiss the streets of Philadelphia, the audience applauds because this is the happy ending that everyone wants.

The main line of the story is actually not complicated, Cooper and Jennifer's love to star, in the end, the audience is really moved, in addition to the persistence and optimism repeatedly mentioned in the film, but also has to let people see the beauty of knowing how to give up.

No matter how strong a person's heart is, thinking that he can tolerate all the worst evils and falsehoods in the world, you must know that some things are gone forever, if people always live in fantasy and do not come out of the haze, then the happiness line behind the dark clouds will lose its meaning.

There are not many elements of family and friendship in the story, but they cannot be ignored, such as the mutual understanding and support of the patients, the tears shed by the father when he talked about not spending too much time with Pat, the mother who did not talk much, but always served a warm snack, the friends who could still send sincere invitations after many days, the brother who received a praising response after some sarcasm and sarcasm, and the guilt, and the gags between the patients.

These add up to form a complete and ornamental story, the dialogue is witty and humorous, and from time to time conveys some meanings, which shows that the screenwriter has spent a lot of effort on the script and dialogue, and it is these invisible efforts that have created its ornamental and comprehension.

Just like the usual method of "Modern Family", "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" also made the audience laugh for almost the whole time, and at the end it made people cry, I have to say that this is a successful, crazy, and witty romance history.

In the process of watching the movie, the audience is slowly liberated from the heaviness of the opening film, until the happiness of the last moment, which is natural and in one go, such a viewing process will also sweep away the negative emotions in the audience's hearts, but it can not be forgotten for a long time, a really good light comedy should be like this.

Needless to say, the advantages of this movie basically have all the characteristics of a literary comedy: smooth editing, wonderful lines, distinct characters, and the story is full of ups and downs but finally complete.

As the male and female protagonists Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence's performances are impressive, although the outstanding appearance of the two is difficult to ignore, but both have the same high level of performance in the completion of the role, one is a neurotic coward who is unwilling to face reality, and the other is a rebellious woman who is outspoken, it is difficult to say whose performance is better, because such a chemistry requires the same superb performance of the two to complete each other.

I also have to admire the level of the screenwriter, the chemistry between the two has burst out at the moment they start to meet and talk, after a few words of dialogue, an abnormal female chasing man drama is slowly staged, such witty and humorous dialogues are rare in today's movies, and what Hollywood movies are pursuing is visual impact, and the portrayal of details is obviously not so careful.

It is under this unique ingenuity and meticulous craftsmanship that "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" was a great success after its release.

Rather than how good "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds" is, it is more precious, David Russell made the sensitive topic of mental illness into a healing sketch that does not pretend to be X, not too hot, not explicit, without a single cliché, and with an attitude.

The story itself is a bizarre event, but it accurately points to reality, and its meaning is to show the way to hundreds of millions of urban "patients" whose lives have been ossified, and encourage them to try to find an outlet and a sense of satisfaction in reality.

In terms of subject matter, "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is similar to "Little Sunshine Beauty", both of which belong to the kind of favorite movies that people can't bear to find fault with, but in fact, the problems involved in the film are relatively black.

The attitude of relatives, friends, neighbors, and strangers centered on the male protagonist Bradley Cooper towards the mentally ill, and the mentally ill's resistance to taking their own medication, as an embarrassment of returning to the social circle from time to time.

There is also the heroine Jennifer Lawrence's surrounding views on widows, the disguise of sluts and crazy women in life, and so on.

However, Russell's novel filming technique has made "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" a light comedy movie that everyone loves.

In Song Zheng's view, David Russell has always been a director with a strong comedy foundation, and in all his works, even pure films like "Fighter" and "The Three Kings of Gold", there is no shortage of light-hearted and humorous jokes.

In "Dark Cloud Happiness Line", Russell directly came to an emotional explosion this time, perfectly combining his skillful shots and machine-gun dialogue, making the movie extremely dramatic.

And unlike the clichéd "dating movie" or the vulgar R-rated comedy, "Dark Cloud Happiness Line" tries to break away from the genre framework established by Hollywood in the 30s of the last century.

In the first half of the film, Russell's character-building of the character can be called a stroke of genius, and the large number of lines allows the audience to have a rich understanding of the character's personality while being able to focus on the story, and basically will not act.

In addition, there are many stylized shots in the film, which further enhance the dramatic effect of the film, allowing the audience to laugh from the heart, rather than just making facial expressions.

However, in Song Zheng's view, this movie is still one step away from becoming a masterpiece in genre films, and "Dark Cloud Happiness Line" can be said to be a script for success and a script for failure.

Every part of the movie is brilliant, and the informative lines also inject fresh life into the script.

But Song Zheng just doesn't like the predictable "happy reunion" ending that makes the movie go to a cliché.

This ending returns the movie to the clichéd framework of Hollywood, making the characters' feelings somewhat shallow and idealistic.

In fact, when Song Zheng watched it in his last life, he could vaguely feel that the arrangement of this ending was not Director Russell's original intention.

If Russell had made the film so unearthly in the first half, he wouldn't have allowed himself to make such a glaring mistake at the end.

Maybe this is mainly due to the restrictions of the subject matter itself and the pressure of the producer, the producer often pays more attention to the commercial attributes of a movie, this happy ending is set for the audience's long-term viewing habits, and if the film is produced in Europe, then Song Zheng feels that the ending should be more real.

For example, the relationship between the two protagonists should be allowed to develop naturally, not to intersect too quickly, it is a good practice to prolong the time collapse of the movie, and it is enough to let Pat and Tiffany meet again after a few years or even more than ten years, and then give the audience a hint.

Of course, this is just Song Zheng's family words, maybe if he adapts it like this, the whole story will go down a big slope towards more cliché.

In general, "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is an inspirational film, comedy, and romance film that makes people feel comfortable after watching it, and the film greatly transcends the subject matter itself and reaches a new height.
