This is the most dazzling name on Daniel's guest list, in addition to more than 20 film critics from all over the world, more than 30 media journalists, as well as Blogger and MB well-known movie account owners, a total of no more than 80 people, in the largest and most luxurious hall of the Oriental Cinema, can accommodate nearly 400 people in the VIP screening room, as the first wave of Americans to watch Rome. Polanski's new work "The Pianist" - a World War II masterpiece that won the Oscar, Palme d'Or and Best Actor.

The list was revealed in the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post on the same day.

Daniel's announcement of his status and fellowship in Hollywood rather than a luxury villa party is somewhat novel in the form of a movie screening. And, according to the confirmed reports in the newspapers, they will not arrange a red carpet session in front of the theater.

After the big names enter the theater, they will go directly to the screening hall, and after watching, there will be no discussion, let alone a post-screening party.

To put it simply, the big guys come to see a movie, then leave, and that's it.

"Silent Premiere" -- that's the name given to this special screening by The Times.

"I don't think the film is so good for the hustle and bustle, not so good for the gala, if you want to know what happened sixty years ago? What happened to the Jews in Europe? I'm welcome to come and see, and if you just want to see bombing, artillery, I suggest you don't waste dollars. Daniel said in an interview.

At 5:30 p.m. on December 7, 2002, the entire street in front of the Oriental Cinema was temporarily controlled, with luxury cars and crowds.

The celebrities weren't all dressed in black for fear it would be too much like a funeral. But most of them attended in light-colored, dark-toned clothes, such as Cameron, who came with only light makeup, a gray down jacket and jeans.

The directors are even more eclectic.

Daniel is dressed in a formal suit. Standing at the door of the theater, he welcomed every guest and asked them to leave their names in the autograph book. At the top of the autograph book, the words ""The Pianist" Oriental Cinema Screening" are written in large letters, at the bottom right of each page. There is a line of handwritten words that are smaller than one size, "Daniel. Sandler, thank you for coming. ”

In addition to the editor-in-chief Carol of the Los Angeles Times, of course, there were reporters who came this time, and it just so happened that Jones was personally on the job this time, and she is now the head of the paper's key theme, and is working on a special theme: movies and war.

Against the backdrop of artillery in Afghanistan and under the clouds of the war in Iraq, the theme is significant.

In the screening room, everyone arrived on time. At 5:30 a.m., the lights in the screening room dimmed.

Only Daniel has a chasing light above his head.

His expression is detached and sad, and in this clear line between darkness and light, he resembles a character in the curtain behind him.

Jones had to sigh that the world was changeable. She won't forget that when Daniel tried to fight for the role of Commodius in "Gladiator", Kusa came to contact her, and they wanted to be able to get Jacques to get him. Phoenix was out, opting to bring Rivan. Phoenix's death ability is consumed. At that time, Daniel was still a little star with only a little bit of Internet topicality. Although she was sure to participate in "The Lord of the Rings" - in fact, this was a big reason why she finally decided to agree. Since then, he has almost become the most high-profile young man of his time, in countless selection lists. Daniel was unceremoniously honored as a guest of honour – such as this year's San Francisco International Achiever, who was the successor of Tom Brown. Cruise's second award after Cruise.

Until now, now, in front of these most powerful people in Hollywood, he can be so calmly on the high platform, isn't it a miracle, what else?

Daniel took a step forward. Walk over to the microphone stand.

"Thank you for coming to this theater from such busy, noisy, confused and forgotten cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and so on, to see this film that is about to begin. Before that, I'd like to give you a brief introduction.

It is based on the Polish-Jewish pianist Valadislau. Spearman's story, which Roman pulled from his autobiography. Its director is Roman. Polanski, a former Pole who had fled from the Nazis, had his father and uncle captured in the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, where his father survived and his uncle died. And his mother, forever remained in the notorious Auschwitz. When he was shooting, he said to me, 'Every frame is like a fragment of my memory, with my flesh and blood behind the frame, my mother's and my countrymen'.

But you will find that the picture is not so bloody, the bombardment of artillery is in the distance, and there are only some small fights in front of you; You will find that there is no unforgettable hatred in it, and there is no inexhaustible blood. I also wondered, I asked the director, and he replied to me like this, 'Sixty years is enough time for all the blood stains and corpse marks to dissipate and dim, and those massacres, those indifferent shots, those corpses lying on the streets, have become symbols engraved in history, each of which exudes a cold and faint light, making us vigilant, sad, longing for warmth and compassion.'" ’

And that's what I felt when I starred in this movie. We hope that it can convey these ideas to the audience of the film, enrich the meaning and connotation of the film, and re-make the film have the power to remember human nature. ”

As the last sentence was spoken, the chasing light was extinguished, and Daniel stepped down and sat down in his place, and next to him was Collins, who had come on purpose. Bolsh, she squeezed his hand.

Although it was a well-planned event, it is undeniable that Daniel did feel a lot of forgotten and untouched during the filming of this film.

The film begins in Warsaw in 1938, a remastered film copied from the Polish Historical Museum, with black-and-white shots of busy people crossing the streetcar that connects the street.

In the background is a piano piece played by Spearman on Radio Warsaw.

With the appearance of Daniel's Spearman, he heard low, deliberately suppressed exclamations from some friends in the back row, who had all seen some photos, but surprisingly, none of the promotional posters for "The Pianist" were positive this time.

So when they saw the thin, light-hearted Daniel, they were very surprised.

His hands fluttered deftly on the black and white keys, and his expression was attentive and tranquil—there was certainly no war yet, and the radio station was in order.

The sudden sound of cannon fire opens the story - the Nazis are coming, carrying disaster and bad luck.

After a flurry of fleeing, the camera pans to Spearman's family, a silhouette of thousands of Warsaw families, in a hurry. But this is a bit unexpected, and if the director wants to take the lead, according to the standards of Hollywood's war historical films, it should be large-scale bombing, countless planes and tanks, and extras in military uniforms. But "The Pianist" doesn't, and it cuts so easily into a home that still feels safe.

Two younger sisters, a younger brother, an elegant mother, and an elderly father.

This was Spearman's family, until she fell apart, but at the moment, they were still excited about the declaration of war by Britain and France on Nazi Germany.

Few moviegoers in this room are not sad - they don't know that none of this can change their future.

Then they began a laughable, even messy, discussion about how to hide the extra money and gold watches -- what a hilarious scene.

Immediately, Polanski offered the most bitter sarcasm - not all Poles were heroes, all refugees, all wretched people, and some would hang a sign on the door of Radio Warsaw, "Jews are not allowed." ”

"They want to be purer Nazis than Nazis!"

The cold knife of this movie shows a hint of cold light here.

The plot begins to be vigorously promoted - Jewish symbols, humiliated old Spearman, ghetto.

In Harvey. In Weinstein's view, the film does unconsciously impregnate the heart, but it doesn't make him how to invest - he just thinks that Daniel's performance is a bit bland, and in the opening 15 minutes, although everyone can see who the protagonist is, Spearman is still just an ornament in the picture of the era.

If that's all there is to it, then Daniel may not be so wise to play it, and as for fighting for more, the difficulty will naturally increase exponentially.

In the next ten minutes, the film is still connected by Spearman, showing the rules of survival in this era, some people are still drunk and obsessed, others are undignified. Knowing that the progress has come to 25 minutes.

A child who crawled back from outside the quarantine zone - he got something back from outside, probably from a relative or friend of the family outside.

But, he should have found out to the Gestapo.

When Spearman dragged the tiny body out of the hole in the wall, he was breathless, and his face was bruised.

In the dim light of Warsaw, the dim yellow street lamp behind them split Spearman's face into three shadows, one yellowish, one bluish and white, and one pitch black.

Click!

Harvey felt himself hear the shattering sound from his expression, from the light and shadow on his face.

The blandness and dissociation of the first 25 minutes are all shattered into reality in this sound. (To be continued.) )
