Chapter 332: Three-Line Narrative
"Jane, you're half an hour late."
In front of an AMG theater in Manhattan, Ivanka? Mr. Trump complained to the people who walked up to her, "You asked me out to watch a movie, but I was late." ”
"Hey, Evie, you know the traffic in New York."
An apologetic smile, Jane? Lauder grabbed her arm and walked towards the theater, "Hurry up, my scheduled show is about to start." ”
"What movie?" Ivanka followed her into the theater and asked curiously, "Can it make you so anxious?" ”
"Duke? Rosenberg's new film. ”
While talking, the two walked to the ticket window, it was a Friday afternoon, there were not many people in the theater, and they received the booked movie tickets, Jane? Lauder pulling Ivanka? Trump walked into the theater, found two suitable seats, and waited for the film to start showing.
See Ivanka? Trump has been silent, Jane? Lauder suddenly asked, "I heard that you had an unpleasant relationship with Duke New Year's party?" ”
"It's just a little misunderstanding."
Ivanka? Mr. Trump adjusted to a more comfortable position and said, "I met him at Wharton and we talked about it." ”
"Wharton?" Simple? Lauder instantly showed a gossip look, "He went specifically to find you?" ”
"No," Ivanka shook her head, "it seems like a director friend of his, who was making a movie near the Wharton School, happened to meet him." ”
"Sophia? Coppola too. "Jane? Lauder immediately made a judgment.
This time, the curious person was replaced by Ivanka, "Jane, it looks like you know him well." ”
"He doesn't have many friends, only a limited few, and one of them is Irene."
Rolled her eyes, Jane? Lauder said helplessly. "When you have a sister who talks about him a lot, it's hard not to understand."
The little girl has a gossip mentality, and Ivanka asked inquiringly, "Is he pursuing Irene?" ”
"No, he's just friends with Erin."
Speaking of which, Jane? Lauder gestured to the big screen. "Don't talk about it, the movie is about to start."
Ivanka? Trump let out a sigh of relief, she once received a package from New Zealand some time ago, and she didn't expect that guy to remember her......
Dissipating these unreliable thoughts, she looked at the theater, there were not many people, only more than a dozen.
"Isn't Duke famous?"
While the screen was playing the opening credits, Ivanka asked in a low voice, "Why are so few people watching his films?" ”
"My dear. It doesn't look like you know much about the film industry. "Jane? Lauder immediately became a teacher and earnestly taught, "This is just a small production with an investment of $10 million, and Warner Bros. has not done much publicity, and it is the off-season for movies, and those who like large-scale commercial films will not come to see this kind of small-scale production." ”
"Why are you pulling me?" Ivanka asked.
Simple? Lauder immediately gave the answer, "Because I'm a fan of Duke." ”
"Is his movie really that good?"
Hearing Ivanka's slightly questioning words, Jane? Lauder turned to look at her. Said seriously, "It's better than you can imagine." ”
See what my friends say. Ivanka? Trump couldn't help but concentrate and looked at the big screen.
The opening credits of Warner Bros. and the Duke's studio crown flashed when a violent crash resounded in the theater, a high-powered SUV crashed into an escort van that had just opened its door in front of the bank, and two men in hoods and Kevlar body armor jumped out of the SUV, holding an AK-47 automatic rifle with a drum in their hands.
Robbing a bank cash truck? Ivanka was just beginning to think about it. The rapid gunfire sounded like a torrential rain hitting glass, and the two bandits did not have any superfluous words, nor any superfluous movements, nor even did they think about it, and aimed at the cash truck in a fierce strafing fire. Several escorts and bank security guards were immediately shot and fell to the ground, and a hornet's nest crater was also punched out of the bulletproof cash truck......
Without hesitation, without mercy, without even humanity, they were like bloated humanoid monsters, constantly strafing......
Not only the escorts and the bank's security guards, but also the pedestrians in the distance were also affected by the rapid switching of the camera, some people were injured by bullets, some cars were broken glass, and the entire bank neighborhood was suddenly in a panic.
The two bandits finally stopped shooting, and the vicinity of the cash truck had become a pool of blood, one of them changed the drum and monitored the surroundings with a gun, and the other stepped over the corpse and entered the cash truck, but only brought out a bag of money.
"Only a bag of money!"
Even if he was wearing a hood, he could see the anger in his eyes, and it seemed that he would pick up his gun and shoot again at the periphery at any moment.
Fortunately, the other bandit was still sensible, and after alerting him that the police would arrive at any time, the two ran to a Chevrolet parked on the side of the road and drove away.
From launching the robbery to finally escaping, it took less than 5 minutes for the two people to escape from the two street corners, and the bandits took off their hoods, revealing a fierce appearance, which is very in line with the consistent aesthetics of North American audiences for robbers and the like.
One of the bandits opened the bag of money, which was very large, but inside it was change, and there was not much money at all.
"If they don't get too much, they're going to rob again."
Before the camera cuts back to the bank, Liam? Michael, a police officer played by Neeson, inspects the scene, "The bandits have automatic firepower, equipped with steel-core armor-piercing bullets......"
The scene was a mess, and the film also used this way to emphasize the ferocity and ruthlessness of the bandits, and the robbery left 3 people dead, 2 seriously injured, and 3 slightly injured.
In such a strict case, the entire Los Angeles police were mobilized, and Michael, as the interim head of the case, also undertook another task to inform the family of the victim, the deceased has been beaten into a hornet's nest, and it is not suitable for the family to see immediately, out of humanitarian considerations, the Los Angeles police will send someone to notify the family first, so that they can be psychologically prepared.
Just like the real cases in the mainstream media, the Los Angeles police certainly have a very good image in the film.
Duke is a mainstream director, and he never wanted to go the path of the non-mainstream.
In fact, the theme of the film is very simple, preaching the inevitable victory of justice that Hollywood has always advocated, exploring the family issues that mainstream society cares about, and touching Larry a little? Phillips and Emile? Psychological and mental condition of Matasalinou.
"It's not quite the same as Duke's past films, the pace is a bit slow."
Ivanka? Trump heard Jane? Lauder murmured and did not respond, she was not an avid movie lover, just a bystander, and when she saw the content of the film, she immediately remembered the North Hollywood bank robbery that the media had reported......
Compared with the impression, the film adaptation seems to be a bit large.
She peeked at the dozen or so people in the theater, all of them staring at the screen, and it seemed that the film was quite attractive.
Ivanka is indifferent to gunfights or anything, she just wants to know how the film develops, and the inhumane killing of the bandits at the beginning has inspired a sense of justice in her heart, and she wants to see the two of them fall to justice soon.
This is also the reason why Duke handled it this way at the beginning of the film, the film is clear between good and evil, and there is no need to hide it or defend the bandits.
In the film, a mother and daughter appeared, the mother was cooking and waiting for her husband to come home, and the daughter was sitting in front of the TV watching cartoons, laughing happily with her mother from time to time, a very warm family.
However, there was a knock on the door, and the news brought by the police officer Michael shattered the warmth of the family, and the hostess went from shock, doubt, certainty, sadness to despair, and finally even collapsed on the sofa, and the daughter she carried away hid at the turn of the stairs, and big tears rolled down her face silently......
"I promise that the culprits will be brought to justice!"
In the face of the painful Catherine, Michael can only make such comfort, this kind of thing he has said many times in the past, most of them simply can't be fulfilled, but he sees this broken family, the ** of catching the bandit is never stronger.
"I promise, I'll catch them!"
The grieving hostess, the little girl who wept silently, and the police officer who swore by him, had a constant intersection.
"This kid has good acting skills."
Simple? Lauder is a complete expert, and regardless of whether anyone listens or not, she makes a self-conscious comment, "much better than her mother's rigid face." ”
Ivanka? Trump squinted at her, didn't respond, and continued to watch the film.
After showing the grief of a broken family, the camera follows Officer Michael back to his home, and like all heroic characters in Hollywood films, there is always a troubled family behind the protagonist.
Although she is not a typical problem girl in the camera, her somewhat indifferent expression and blunt communication with Michael all explain what it means to be a father and daughter without hatred, and the dialogue between the two people also explains the background of this family.
Michael's neglect to take care of the family because of his work, the relationship between the husband and wife broke down, and Lily, who grew up with her father, was in a rebellious period, and was extremely hostile to her father's profession, believing that it was the police profession who took away her originally happy family.
The father and daughter parted unhappily, and the two people hiding in the room had different appearances, and Michael didn't know how to communicate with his rebellious daughter, plus he was anxious about the case, and he couldn't sleep over and over.
He is like most fathers in this world, deeply in love with his daughter, but he can't find the right way to express it.
On the other hand, under Lily's indifferent appearance, there is a heart that longs for family affection, and the distress caused by the breakdown of the family makes her choose poison. product, and by the large. Hemp turned to the ancient. Ke Yan, she chose to numb her pain by swallowing clouds and spitting out fog.
Every family always has its own troubles, the camera changes, and in the three-line narrative, the other two lines also begin to appear in the shot. (To be continued......)
