With the official release of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", various reviews have also begun to appear on a large scale, although many have given high scores, but the tone is not much different from the previous reviews of film critics.

Shooting method? Very good; Hero and heroine? Very good; Footage? Very good; The main storyline...... Well, what does the director want to tell people through such a male protagonist who grows in reverse? Yes, yes, Benjamin Button met all kinds of characters, witnessed the tragedies of real life, and experienced the greatness of humanity, but ...... What exactly is the movie trying to say?

"Even if the screenwriter is Eric Ross, even if the structure is similar to Forrest Gump, it can't undo the biggest problem of the film, where does its theme go? Yes, when the male protagonist's monologue sounded at the end, I met a lot of people, some were struck by lightning, some were making buttons, some were dancers, some were mothers, and it was really moving, but it still made people wonder, what exactly did Benjamin Button want to tell us with his life? This is an article on "Variety", although it is not sharp, but it unceremoniously puts the problem in front of everyone.

Of course, there must be people who defend it, saying that it shows the impermanence of life, the humility and greatness of human nature, and so on. But what they can't deny is that "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", which is very similar in structure to "Forrest Gump", has a theme that is far less distinct than "Forrest Gump's" "Life is like chocolate" and "Don't care about cold eyes and ridicule, and then run all the way forward".

But, in any case, this is always a well-made work, and this flaw may affect the future awards, but it does not make much difference to the audience.

Therefore, after being released in nearly 3,000 theaters, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" scored nearly 40 million in the first week, and in terms of David Fincher's works, the box office in this first week is already very good.

Finch is also an interesting director, and since he actually directed his first film, The Seven Deadly Sins, his work has been teetering on the verge of losing money. Many times it looks like you are going to lose money, but in fact you have to pay for it, and even if you really lose money, you won't lose it too completely, and there is still room for turnaround.

So the big studios love and hate Fincher, they don't get any awards, but they always cause a lot of conversation, they don't make much money, but it's hard to really lose money. However, many actors did shine differently in his films, even the most commercial of "Mind Games," which critics praised Michael Douglas and Sean Penn for acting in a completely different way.

Not to mention Brad Pitt, who has been able to solidify his position and his best acting work with David Fincher. So even though the big studios have a love-hate relationship with Fincher, many actors still want to work with him one after another, and Sean is one of them.

"Of course, definitely, and with a lot of fanfare." When Sean said this to Frederick, it was the first weekend of January '09.

As always, the arrival of awards season has made the PR very active, and the actors have begun to run around to fight for their own honor, so Frederick ran to the already started "The Artist" crew and asked Sean what he was going to do this year's awards season.

Despite the slight flaws in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", Sean's performance was recognized by everyone, and even if the special effects and makeup techniques had to share some light, at least it still looked very competitive.

So Sean had the above answer, joking, wasn't the reason why he cooperated with Finch in the first place was to think about the awards season later? The thought was that if Milk lost, then at least one more hole card could be played this year to prove that it was luck that he would lose.

What I didn't expect was that things really went on like this, so after this year's awards season came, it was natural to have a big public relations, and even film critics said that the Oscars owed him a little gold man, didn't they?

"Well, I see," Frederick replied, "but don't worry, does the film school really compensate you for the best actor?" ”

"So what?" Sean spread his hands, "Is it because they made amends, so "The Artist" is going to give up?" ”

That's right, since "The Artist" has already started filming, starring with Naomi again, and making so much effort, do you have to give up because of this little thing?

It's a trivial matter, because Sean absolutely doesn't believe that the film academy will give him a little golden man this year to compensate for last year, not to mention that Lewis is indeed eligible for the award, just the compensation of the film academy has always been a long time later, so Frederick's worries are unreasonable.

"Okay, I'll talk to Sanders." After confirming his attitude, the agent nodded his head in agreement.

Then, after thinking about it, he still opened his mouth to remind: "You have to be careful, many media say that you and Kate have a wonderful chemistry in the movie, and if we are going to do public relations, we may need to mention a little bit in this regard." ”

Sean couldn't help frowning, Frederick was the only one among all who knew about him and Kate: "I know this, as long as you don't have problems, I won't have problems here." ”

Frederick wanted to say a few words, but when he saw him like this, he only shrugged his shoulders. Seeing his agent leave, Sean sighed softly, and his thoughts involuntarily returned to two days ago.

At the premiere of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" that day, he easily got Kate out to make love, but in the end he couldn't hold back and asked the question in his heart, whether her three children, including the girl who gave birth in October last year, were his.

Kate didn't say anything at the time, just dropped a sentence of "I don't know what you're talking about" and ran out in a panic, Sean didn't chase after her, and she knew from her shocked look and Zhigo's tone that it was all true.

That's right, Kate's three children, the two boys before her, and the girl who was born just last year, are all his children, which is a real ...... I don't know what to say as a joke.

So Sean didn't chase her out, and after Kate calmed down for a while, he finally secretly asked her out two days ago.

"Yes, they're all ......," Kate said as soon as they met, and her eyes were red, and she was more than half an hour late, apparently stopping on the side of the road and crying bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Kate, I'm sorry." Sean naturally hugged her for the first time and comforted her, and then she cried again.

"I never thought it would be like this, I was always worried about what I would do if I was found out one day...... I'm such a stupid slut woman. Kate, who had calmed down, began to babble, and the deep worry in her heart was also overflowing, "I thought...... I thought it would be enough to do it once, but ...... It's all yours...... As soon as Eleanor was born, I secretly had someone do it...... God......"

Obviously, these words were only buried in her heart before, and no one could tell them, this kind of thing is a big scandal even if it is just once, let alone two or three times, and now Sean has lifted the lid, and the heavy pressure is relaxed, so he confides in it desperately.

So Sean could only hug her tightly, giving her a little sense of security as much as possible in this way, and he should have said something, but he couldn't say anything after a few mouths.

Although Kate puts the blame on herself, Sean knows very well that none of this would have happened if he hadn't teased her in the first place. And pay more attention when making out with her, use a raincoat more, instead of always throwing it in it in order to prove that she is your own, the chance of this situation will also be very small.

"I'm sorry, Kate, I'm sorry." He could only say in this guilty tone.

Kate has herself in her heart, and her position is very heavy, she knows from the responsibility she just had, so how can Sean bear to let her bear everything.

"Listen to me, Kate, listen to me," it was easy to wait for Kate to finish venting, Sean held her face, looked into her eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I asked this question before, just to know the answer, I don't have any purpose." ”

There was a pause here and waited for Kate to put away her ownerless color before continuing: "You can take them with you to live your own life, I will not force anything, even if you need me to have nothing to do with them - of course, if I can meet once in a while, I will ...... Be tickled pink. ”

He bit his lip as he spoke, as if he had made up his mind: "I want you to be happy, Kate, and I want you to live a happier life...... Although I am not qualified to say this, ...... If, I mean, if they're found out, and things get to the point where it's irreparable, you can come to me. ”

Sean grabbed Kate's hand, put it to his lips and kissed it gently, and then looked at her firmly: "I will marry you, Kate, I swear, I will marry you, I will marry you publicly, no matter what others think, this is my promise to you, the only promise I can give you!" ”

Indeed, in any case, he has lost to Kate, and owes a lot. But he still refuses to let go, and Kate also has a very important place in his heart, so it can only be like this.

However, Kate was not angry or dissatisfied, she just looked at Sean in a daze for a long time, and then suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, never so tightly.

In fact, women seem to want a lot, but when you really analyze it carefully, they actually only want one thing, that is, a sense of security. The joy of an overnight only needs to look at the right eye, but getting along for a long time requires a man to give a woman a sense of security, which is determined by genes, no matter how powerful a strong woman is, deep down she longs to have a man to rely on.

Sean may or may not understand, but he at least knows that what he promised must be done, and he also insists that since he wants to do it, he must do his best, at work, and in life.
