When Kate entered the door with a stack of newspapers, Jude just put the phone down.

"How's the communication with Mr. White?"

Jude half-leaned back in his chair and pouted, "Not very good." ”

As soon as Jude saw his expression, Kate knew that this phone conversation must not be very pleasant, so she wisely did not continue to mention the matter, and walked over and put the newspaper she had brought back from the mailbox downstairs in front of Jude.

"I probably looked at it when I went upstairs, and there were a total of 5 newspapers mentioning the Seven Deadly Sins, do you need me to find them all?"

Jude put his hands on the table, sat up straight and looked at Kate and said, "It would be better if you could read them out!" ”

"Okay." Kate picked up one of the newspapers, "This is a review in the Los Angeles Times, "The Seven Deadly Sins pioneered a cinematic language that was different from previous Hollywood films, and director Jude Locke focused on the dark places of human nature and society, and the image style was powerful and powerful." ”

Thinking of this, Kate couldn't help but stop and glance at Jude.

"Do you want to continue?"

"Let's get another one." Jude leaned forward slightly with his hands on the table, not paying much attention to the newspaper reviews of "The Seven Deadly Sins", but simply enjoying the feeling of Kate reading the newspaper to him.

Kate then picked up another newspaper, glanced at it quickly and frowned slightly, but still read out the content: "This is a review in the "Hollywood Reporter", gluttony, greed, laziness, jealousy, pride, indulgence, anger, the seven sins of Catholic doctrine, in Jude Locke's "The Seven Deadly Sins" is not a preaching that instills religious thoughts, the movie uses a crazy pervert to punish those who violate the doctrine, and the police detective detects the truth layer by layer, which exposes not only the darkness of the world, but also a deep reflection on the self. ”

This time I didn't wait for Kate to speak. Jude himself volunteered to change the next one.

"These guys always like to make simple things very profound, and this review Andrew (the screenwriter of "The Seven Deadly Sins") will probably like it after reading it, so I'll forget it."

Kate immediately changed to a copy of the Herald, and this time the evaluation was interesting.

"Jude Locke put a lot of thought into the plot of "The Seven Deadly Sins", but the cleverness of the ending can't change the overall inadequacy, it's actually a patchwork story. And it's more rigid than "Two Big Smoking Guns". ”

Jude was silent.

Kate was about to pick up a newspaper when Jude stopped her.

"What else does it say?"

Kate looked down and didn't find any valuable comments, then she looked up at Jude and said, "That's all, the rest is a brief introduction to the plot of the movie." ”

Jude nodded, "A third of the bad reviews are still within the acceptable range." ”

Kate pointed to the newspaper that hadn't been flipped through to the side, "What about the rest?" ”

"Put it here, I'll look at it when I have time."

As soon as he said this, he said. Kate knew immediately that the newspapers could be disposed of like waste paper, because Jude would certainly not look through them again.

"Okay, I'm going to get my dress at ten o'clock, and I can bring you lunch back, do you want pizza or Indian food?"

"Let's pizza, then." Jude thought for a moment and replied.

Kate took out a sticky note book, jotted down the pizza flavor Jude wanted, then looked up and asked, "Do you need me to bring anything for you?" ”

"I've run out of milk in the fridge, so you can bring some back when you go to the supermarket."

"You reminded me. It seems that there is not much butter and peanut butter left. Kate picked up her pen and scribbled them on the note.

While they were chatting about what food to buy, Jude suddenly asked, "Are you sure you don't need me to accompany you to try on clothes?" ”

"No!" Kate put down her pen. He shook his head firmly.

"What happened last time was just an accident." Jude argued.

"That's not going to work either." Kate's attitude was very firm, of course, in order to take care of her boyfriend's emotions, she immediately added: "After I get the dress back, I will be the first to wear it to you." ”

Jude shamelessly asked, "Does it include the process of changing clothes?" ”

Kate angrily picked up the newspaper in her hand and made a gesture to smash Jude in the face.

As soon as the hand was raised, a letter slipped out of the gap in the newspaper.

Both of them were immediately attracted to each other's eyes.

"What is this?"

"I don't know." Kate picked up the envelope. With a puzzled look on her face, she didn't notice the existence of the newspaper when she took the newspaper from the mailbox.

Jude glanced at the style of the envelope and concluded, "Maybe a fan wrote it to you." ”

"The answer is incorrect, this letter is addressed to you." Kate handed over the envelope as she spoke.

Jude took it and looked at it. Sure enough, the recipient's column had his name written on it.

Kate initially thought it was just a regular reader's letter, but Jude's expression as she unfolded the letter made her immediately overturn this conclusion.

"What did it say?"

Jude handed over the letter and motioned for Kate to read it herself.

Kate took it curiously, and quickly glanced at the beginning, the standard greeting format, and didn't find anything wrong.

Jude didn't explain, just motioned with his eyes for her to continue looking.

In the second paragraph of the letter, the other party introduced his identity, it turned out that he was one of the thirty lucky viewers who were selected to watch the test screening of "The Seven Deadly Sins" last time, and the purpose of writing to Jude was because he had a guess about the ending of the film and wanted to get an answer from Jude.

"I believe that everyone who has seen this movie will be deeply shocked by the ending of the film, but I have communicated with many people and found that no one understands this ending as much as I do - I think that the heroine is not dead, and the impulsive character of the male protagonist Mills is the root cause of the tragedy."

Kate subconsciously read this passage out softly.

Jude's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, as if to ponder the plausibility of this explanation.

To prove his point, the fan listed a detail from the film in the letter.

When Jude's Mills and Denzel's Samose escorted John's John-Du, Hopkins, to the rooftop, Samose saw a dead dog at the top of the stairs, and it was strange that there was such a dog with only half a head and half a body on the roof of the building, and this dog belonged to the same breed as the Mills dog, and it was the same size. Samoser told Mills that he had seen a dead dog, and John Du immediately told Mills that he had nothing to do with it. On the surface, John Du is telling Mills that he didn't kill the dog, which is a bit humorous, but in fact, John Du said such things illogically. In fact, John Du is implying that he did not kill Tracy (the heroine of the film).

Kate couldn't help but look up at Jude when she saw this, and the details mentioned in the letter were real in the film. "The Seven Deadly Sins" used a lot of horrific and bloody scenes in the film in order to highlight the evil of human beings, but at the last moment, Trixie's head was not explicitly displayed, so the fan suspected that the box actually contained a dog's head.

Kate herself was almost convinced by the reasons given in the letter, but there was one point that could not be explained, and that was why Samosey did not tell Mills the truth.

"Is all that he said true?"

"I don't know." Jude's answer was somewhat unexpected, he is the director of the film, and it stands to reason that there is no second person who knows the answer to this question better than him.

Looking at Kate's expression of disbelief, Jude shrugged helplessly and said, "Remember that famous quote from Shakespeare?" There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, and in the same way, everyone's understanding and understanding of the ending of this movie is different, you can think that Trish is indeed dead, or you can think that Trish is not dead, this is an open-ended proposition. ”

Kate accepted the statement, looked down and continued to look at the explanation given by the fan in her heart.

The other party believes that this is a theme that is secretly developed throughout the film. As a police officer about to be transferred, Samosa was not prepared to accept the case at first, but later took the initiative to ask Mills to participate, ostensibly because the case was getting worse and worse, but in fact because he had to face the answer himself.

As he learns more about the killer's motives, he discovers that he has similarities with John Du. So the final outcome is actually a gamble between him and John Du: if Mills shoots and John Du wins, it proves that the world needs John's way of preaching to warn the world; If Mills restrains himself, it proves that humanity can have complete control over good and evil by virtue of the abilities it already has.

"But there's one thing that doesn't make sense." Kate put down the letter, "Samoses asked Mills to sacrifice in order to prove his point, which is not in line with the character's character. ”

John Du in the film does not kill because of bloodlust, maybe he usually doesn't kill even a chicken, but when he carries out his self-righteous trials and sermons with powerful theoretical creeds and delusions, he becomes a terrifying killer. The same is true of Shamose, when he feels that the answer to the gamble is necessary, then Mills's sacrifice will seem trivial to him, which is why he has the opportunity to stop Mills from shooting, but in the end he only uses words to dissuade him. Of course, there may be another reason that he feels that John Du should be compensated for by death, but the court will not directly sentence the death penalty, it may be a long sentence, and the law cannot achieve the justice in Samosey's heart, so he can only use illegal means to 'judge' John Du by the hand of Mills! ”

While Kate was still thinking, Jude's eyes fell on the letter, and he was still worried about the publicity topic after the release of "The Seven Deadly Sins", because whether it is the ending of the film or Anthony Hopkins, the "hidden boss", the film will be released after its release, and how to attract follow-up audiences has become the biggest problem for the distributor in publicity.

The questions mentioned in this letter immediately opened Jude's mind. (To be continued......)
