Section 121 Angels in Dreams
When Columbia held the premiere of the new film for Angel Amelie in mid-August, most of Hollywood's media, as well as a large number of filmmakers, had been waiting for the premiere of the film for a long time.
"Did you see that? It's a bit strange how many people are here today. ”
Sitting in the press box, Bruce was quite proud to talk to his colleagues beside him. His peers just gave him a blank look: he could see that Bruce wasn't here for interviews at all, he was just here to see others chasing his brother at the premiere of his new film, and to enjoy the joy of being a star.
"I've put a lot of effort into this film, and I have to say that the film has been made so far, and I have to thank Winona for her performance, and I have to thank Al's charismatic voice. Their efforts made the film even better and closer to the standard I hoped it would be......"
Premieres are usually accompanied by a Q&A session, but Bruce doesn't care about any of that. Angel Emily in this movie, from the beginning of writing the script to the current premiere, Bruce has been involved in it, unlike others who don't know anything about this movie, he is ahead of all his peers in terms of the internal intelligence of the movie, he can't be here at all, he is here, not for these interviews, but because he is Levy's brother.
Angel Amelie has finally started the premiere, and Bruce knows the hardships involved. He knows that Levy has made a lot of efforts to get the film to get a PG rating, and he also knows that the number of pictures contacted by Columbia for this film is about 2,100 screens, and he also knows how many media sectors and talk shows there are now. How many people are waiting for their brother to speak here today, hoping to write tomorrow's newspaper by his words - their own brother is not the same as before.
Over the past few years, every step Levy has taken out has made Bruce, the elder brother, feel surprised and proud. A few years ago, his younger brother still had no children, but now he is already a top director. Such an identity may be difficult to see in normal times, but at the premiere of the new film. Looking at the number of reporters who came here, and looking at the identities of the audience here, Bruce was happy on the one hand, and worried on the other.
Bruce is also a Hollywood filmmaker, and he knows how difficult it is to become famous, and how difficult the road to fame can be. While he was proud of Levy, he was also a little worried in his heart.
These people are now chasing Levy's tail-wagging dog, but if Levy fails. They're wild dogs with a different face.
"How many people have you seen? Do you see who's coming? You may not have noticed, but I even saw Spielberg coming here to see your movie! ”
After the interview session, when Levy walked over to Bruce. Bruce was also talking excitedly to Levy. This made Levy nod his head in agreement, "Yes, I saw it, I saw him coming here." I guess that's not such a big thing. There's no need to care. ”
"Why is it not necessary? Could Spielberg have any other ideas when he came to see this movie? He wants an Oscar, and he must have come to see your movie because he felt it was a threat to him. Bruce said, "Be careful. The people who came to the premiere were not necessarily friends. ”
Levy just smiled at Bruce's words and said no more.
Indeed, Levy also saw that it was not only Spielberg who came, but even his team - Levy was here, seeing Spielberg's royal photographer Kaminsky, and also seeing Hollywood's most famous soundtrack master, Robin. Williams and even Tom Hanks, the star of Saving Private Ryan, came here to watch the premiere.
Maybe tomorrow, people will say that Spielberg came to the premiere of his film to find a way for the Oscars, right? In this regard, Levy can even think of the media's statement, but he knows very well that Spielberg is definitely not so boring here.
He came here for fear that he would just give himself and Winona a face-although he has not been famous for a long time, Winona is a famous actress, and they are both Jews, so it is normal for him to come here to make a show.
In fact, it is not only him, but Weinstein, who denied Winona to play his own movie some time ago, also came to the premiere at this time. The appearance of these people has made people see the value of stars: Hollywood circles are big and small, and the movie premiere ceremony held by a star for his own movie is enough to attract the attention of the whole Hollywood.
Levy, of course, wouldn't believe that these people came here with the purpose of hoping that their films would be better. In the hearts of these people, there are curiosity, speculation, and some may have some more malicious attitudes, even to see their own jokes.
It's just that since they are here, no matter what kind of thoughts they have, they are their own guests, and since they are here, there is naturally only one way to satisfy them, to let their movies conquer them.
"Okay, don't talk about this here, the movie is about to start, no matter what you have in mind, you have to watch the movie before you can speak. You want to praise me, some people want to scold me, maybe some people want to do something else, but no matter what you think, you have to watch the movie. ”
Bruce's words did not scare Levy, but Levi comforted Bruce and walked into the hall together.
Here, people are basically seated. After the interview for the premiere of the film, this is the time for people to appreciate and review the film here.
The movie begins.
"On July 12, 1971, at 8:23:21 p.m., a fly that could flash its wings 14,670 times per minute landed on the streets of Manhattan."
With the voice of Al Pacino, the film began, and almost immediately, the film caused a stir: everyone could see that the film was indeed shot in Manhattan - the kind of narrow road that only allowed two cars to run in parallel was definitely New York. However, the Manhattan in the movie lens is completely different from the Manhattan that people usually see, the whole street seems to be sprinkled with a layer of golden light, with the filter of the movie, it looks like a dream, and at the end of the street, the sunset is in front of you, and you can see it through the narrow connection, as if the sun is hanging there.
It's just the beginning of the movie, the beginning of the movie. But this picture already makes people feel suffocatingly beautiful.
This scene was taken on May 28 -- the streets of Manhattan are very neat checkerboard streets, and on this day, and on July 12, because of the angle of incidence, there is a very magnificent and beautiful scene: the sun shines vertically on the entire street, and the setting sun shines all over the street.
This movie is a remake of Levy, and the scenery and things in it are naturally different from the original movie. Levy is not a rigid person, since he shoots the movie himself, he wants to shoot the most beautiful shots in his own movie.
There is beauty everywhere in life, and the key is to be able to grasp it.
Twice a year, there are only 30 minutes of bizarre scenes, which instantly capture the hearts of the audience.
"It's beautiful."
Levy heard someone whispering behind him.
All the viewers are almost immersed in the same mood: it is such a simple picture, which has already shown the unique charm of the film, making everyone's eyes glued to the screen. Although few people know about the wonder of the Manhattan Hanging Sun - of course, there is no such thing as the Manhattan Hanging Sun, a phenomenon that was only named in 2002 - but the wonder and magnificence of the sight is still breathtaking.
From the moment you see the trailer, you can already know that this movie is quite a dreamlike movie. But it wasn't until I actually saw the footage of the movie that people really understood what it meant to be dreamy.
And even more fantastical is yet to come.
Alpacino's voice continued to narrate, from the time Emily was a fertilized egg, to Emily's birth, growth, and the whole process, almost without any lines, just under the narration.
This kind of film format is quite unique and novel: a romantic comedy is shot without any lines, and the story is always narrated through narration, and this structure makes the audience begin to be amazed.
And Levy also found that there are already some people in the audience who can see the intention of doing this.
The footage of the film is dreamlike, and at the same time, the audience's perspective is gradually introduced into the perspective of the narrator by the beginning of the narrator. The precise numbers, the attention to the unique scenes, the strengths and weaknesses of each person's personality, and the seemingly ubiquitous shots of everyone's world, these things make it easy for the audience to have a unique idea: they are in God's perspective.
A fantastic story, a group of viewers from God's point of view, and they watched the growth of a little girl who had suffered hardships since she was a child - people's hearts of compassion were easily stimulated, and it is conceivable that when Emily began to show her unique charm, there would be people who originally pitied her to love her.
Emily is an angel, and the one who knows how to appreciate angels and pity angels is naturally God. The camera speaks, and through these lenses, the film has guided the audience to a unique state of mind.
The same story is told from different angles - that's the charm of the film, that's the director's brilliance! (To be continued......)
