When it comes to "Saving Private Ryan", Roland's heart suddenly appeared with countless slots.

In fact, as early as when Roland got the script of "Saving Private Ryan", he was in a state of surprise.

It's not how perfectly the script is written, but it's that the script is very different from the film in my memory.

After so many years, even if he did a pull film back then, he can't recall every detail in the film, and he can't even remember the development of the plot of the film.

One of them is the weakness, pity and helplessness of Captain Miller played by Tom Hanks when he lands on the beach, which is in stark contrast to the plot of refusing to save the little French girl later, and at the end of the film, the picture of leaning on the ruins and shooting the tank makes Captain Miller, who is bent on completing the mission and returning home, become so cute.

Although he took over the task of saving Private Ryan, he just wanted to disarm and return to the field and go home to accompany his wife, but when he went to the battlefield to face justice, he would still give everything to resist tyranny.

This kind of logical thinking, which is inconsistent with his heart and mouth, but belongs to normal people, makes him flesh and blood.

Second, it is naturally the plot of releasing prisoners in the film.

On the way to find Private Ryan, they encountered a machine gun position, after seeing the corpse of the American soldier nearby, Miller said that he wanted to deal with him, in the process of taking the position, the military doctor was shot and died, they let the only remaining prisoners dig the grave for the military doctor, and when the comrades wanted to kill the prisoner to avenge the military doctor, the interpreter of the team said that shooting the prisoner was a taboo on the battlefield.

Miller weighed it again and again, and finally chose to let the captive go, but it was this choice that allowed the captive to pick up arms again in the final decisive moment of the film, not only killing the Jewish soldiers in the team, but also ending Captain Miller with his own hands.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.

This plot is still fresh in Roland's memory.

But—

The above two plots are not reflected at all in Steven Spielberg's script to Roland.

Not only that, in the script, when the beach landed, Captain Miller was holding a cigar in his mouth, and he was a ** general, diss the recruits under his hands, and fell into silent tinnitus in the movie, and the plot that reflected the cruelty of the war disappeared without a trace, replaced by a one-stroke landing counterattack, and Captain Miller's god-like play-

Yes, Captain Miller in the script, that really is the king of the hill.

Whether you are a god or a Buddha, you will all be knocked down with a hammer.

In the script, when storming the German pillbox, he saw three groups of six death squads dying one after another, so Captain Miller stepped forward, attracted the enemy's fire with his flesh and blood, and rushed to the pillbox with a snakeskin position to throw out a grenade and send the German army to the sky.

Whatthefuck？

Why is this plot so familiar?

Eighteen people have been killed by their bunker machine guns, but when they face you, their guns miss?

Didn't you just open the dodge aura?

After that, Miller took over the mission to save Private Ryan's plot, which is also very different from the plot in Roland's memory, Captain Miller in the script is a veteran oilman, he told the regiment commander that sending a whole squad to save a private is not worth it at all, and the oil cavity and slippery tone embodied in the paper text can overflow to the third dimension.

In the movie, Tom Hanks plays Miller, who is unpretentious and low-key, and looks like a good old man.

If that's all there is to it, then forget it.

When taking over the task, forming a team, and embarking on the journey of searching, the strange plot made Roland's face bewilder.

Captain Miller and his entourage, from the very beginning, drove a jeep to find Ryan, and in the process, their whereabouts were discovered by the enemy, encountered a surprise attack, and the car was bombed.

The detection ability of the special function, even if it is hundreds of meters apart, it can still easily detect the enemy's whereabouts;

Pippi shrimp-like god-level move, using flesh and blood to attract enemy fire unscathed;

Strong leadership skills, able to easily resolve various problems with mouth;

The point is that Captain Miller is like a cat with nine lives, and after years of war, he still has three left, and this is the fundamental reason why he is so chic......

When Roland saw this scene, he felt that he should not be reading the script of "Saving Private Ryan", but the drama of the Anti-Japanese War!

Captain Miller gave Roland the feeling that it was a little cheap version of Steve Rogers!

If you use the idea of writing to understand the whole script, then the title of "Saving Private Ryan" with such a plot is obviously off topic, and if Roland is named, then he will write like this - "Divine Soldiers: Captain Miller", "Catman (Catman)", "I Fought the German Army in Europe", "What a tragic six years the German army spent in World War II", "Comrades, World War II is in its fifth year, and there is still one year to win, everyone is holding on! 》……

Where is this special code "Saving Private Ryan"?

Isn't this special code "Captain America: Vanguard of the Avengers"?

With such a structure, what's the difference between it and those dramas?

It's also a hand-tossed devil dodging bullets!

It's also a machine gunner eight hundred miles away, killing the devil with one shot!

It's also a hidden mine in the crotch!

Ah no, there is no such thing as a hidden mine in the crotch or a bun mine, and some are just GPS-like super navigation.

To be honest, when Roland saw such a script, he really had some doubts, was the old man deliberately fooling himself?

If not, could it be that with his own joining, the anti-war movie that should have been serious was changed into a divine drama by the devil?

It's a pity that the old man at that time went to film "Broken Lock Fury", and Roland didn't have time to find him to theorize, and when the old man came back again, the private party interfered with Roland's thoughts.

So much so that on the private jet to the UK, he found the time to chat with the other party.

And after he briefly depicted his doubts, Spielberg was also confused.

Carefully took the script handed by Roland and looked at it twice, the old face suddenly darkened, and while he turned over and lost the script, he took out a manuscript that had been polished from his bag, and said with some embarrassment-

"Uh...... I gave the wrong one day. ”

"What you took was the final script finalized by the screenwriter, and this is my revised shooting outline."

"I don't have a backup here, so you can watch mine."

Meow meow?

Roland felt a myriad of small question marks appear in his head.

Hold the grass, that one just now turned out to be really a script!

With a look of surprise, Roland flipped through Spielberg's draft of the storyboard, and after a brief flip through it, the familiar recipe and familiar taste made him feel at ease, but he still had something to ask: "The one before, what's going on?" ”

"Are you sure it's a real World War II, not Captain America?"

"You know, after reading the script, I even doubted for a moment that you wanted to make a superhero movie."

"I almost got Captain America out of the copyright vault for you."

Although Roland was a serious inquiry, but the slightly ridiculous words made the old man a little embarrassed, if it wasn't for Roland lowering his voice, he would even want to raise his hand to cover this guy's mouth, and after Roland finished speaking, Spielberg said: "Accident, it's all an accident...... That's just the final draft given to me by the screenwriters. ”

"Compared with our shooting draft, there are still certain discrepancies."

Hearing him say this, Roland understood-

co-authored for a long time, the original script of "Saving Private Ryan" turned out to be a divine drama?

Except for South Korea, screenwriters in other places have no human rights.

No matter how well you write, you can't end up presenting it on the screen.

Even Stephen King, a great writer, is no exception.

"The Shawshank Redemption" sells well, right?

It was changed by the director in more than 30 places.

Even if the guy who owns the copyright is Stephen King, in the entertainment industry, his voice is still limited.

It is impossible for the director to shoot according to his ideas, and he does not force this matter.

Of course, Stephen King has made some money.

And those who don't earn money and are squeezed, there are even more.

The most exaggerated is "The Ferryman" supervised by the King of Sunglasses.

It is claimed that the script has been changed one hundred and eighteen times!

As a screenwriter in this kind of play, isn't that a gunman tool man without copyright?

Of course, the director changes the script, the producer changes the script, and the producer changes the script, and these things actually have two sides......

Or, they who grasp the market know what the shortcomings of the script are, and they change it for the better.

Or, it's self-righteous that what you like, that's good, and you just mess around there.

But no matter what the reason is, it's right that the screenwriter has no human rights anyway.

"Saving Private Ryan" is the former, and the screenwriter portrays Captain Miller in the play as heroic and a key force in interpreting the American dream, but this invincibility in all senses, in the eyes of Spielberg and Hanks, is simply nonsense......

After seeing Roland comparing the gap between the old and new scripts, Spielberg said very casually:

"Actually, I didn't change much, more than 160 pages, I changed 47 pages."

"The biggest change is actually the character of Captain Miller."

"There's no way Tom could play that kind of oily role, so I changed Captain Miller to be a good guy."

"As for why, I think Tom has already told you the reason when he taught you how to build the character......"

"He only plays good guys."

That's right, compared with the original version written by the screenwriter, the biggest difference between "Saving Private Ryan" after Spielberg's personal revision is not that Captain Miller has faded into a legend and transformed into a human, but that the oily and smooth ** attribute on his body has become a good guy attribute that Tom Hanks has always interpreted to the public.

Compared with those directors who keep saying that they want to pursue art, Spielberg's group of guys live better than anyone else that the characters in the script are not for the plot at all, but for the audience.

When the audience saw Hanks's face, they felt that he was a good person, and the character attributes had to be portrayed like this.

The so-called challenge yourself in the entertainment industry and climb to the peak in terms of acting skills is all brains.

This is a can't get along with the audience, and can't get along with money.

Many guys have never understood that if an actor creates an unforgettable character, he has been successful in his life, and what kind of transformation is that he has nothing to do after eating.

If someone really succeeds in transformation, it can only mean one thing.

The roles he created before were actually not classic.

And when Spielberg found that after listening to his explanation, Roland went directly over the first hundred or so pages to find the scene he played, his face showed even more helplessness, "The lines you recite have not changed much......

"Saving Ryan itself is the best expression of humanitarian feelings, and the biggest significance of Ryan you play in the film is to question the act of saving Ryan as a party."

"And you have to be moved by Miller's act of saving you, and when he dies, you just have to cry in his face."

"Just like ...... in Spider-Man."

"You just have to show the grief of Peter Parker facing his near-dead uncle Ben Parker......"

"The most critical scene can be passed."

Yes, the fundamental reason why Tom Hanks recommended Roland to Spielberg is that it is a repeat success.

Finding a way to repeat success in changing the way.

Yes, in "Saving Private Ryan", the relationship between Captain Miller and Ryan played by Hanks is extremely similar to the relationship between Peter Parker and Ben Parker in "Spider-Man", which is not good to say, if you confuse reality, "Saving Private Ryan" can actually be seen by the audience as Ben Parker's autobiography, he went through everything, and finally handed over his vision for the future to Ryan, this kind of spiritual inheritance is actually easier for the audience to be satisfied, as for what the creator wants to express?

Haven't they all been made clear by Captain Miller's choices one after another?

Isn't the so-called theme the value of seven saving one desirable?

Everyone is looking for answers, including Ryan himself.

And death or life on the battlefield is not also a controversy about the values that the director wants to express?

Now that the theme has been conveyed, isn't it reasonable to add business to the script?

The bald Vin Diesel got the role because of this, and Spielberg took Hanks's recommendation, not because of how well Roland could play it, nor because he was his own student, but because he ......

If this is arranged, the movie can really make money.

Since this does not interfere with one's own creative space, it can also meet the rules and regulations of the capital world.

So why not?

Spielberg's greatness has never been that he has made any earth-shattering, ghost-weeping movies.

It's that he's always looking for balance.

Seek a balance between profit and creativity.

"Okay? So where do we start? ”

Now that the doubts in his heart have been lifted, Roland relaxed.

As for talking to each other about the script?

Oh, my God!

Although the name of the movie is "Saving Private Ryan", the whole movie really doesn't have much to do with Ryan, okay?

Roland watched it, and the scenes related to himself were added up to the full fight, and it would only take ten minutes to die.

With the replacement theory given to him by Hanks, he can play it with his eyes closed.

So, instead of studying the characters, it's better to look into something else.

And after listening to his words, Spielberg didn't have any objections, since this thing didn't have to worry about Roland in the first place, he wouldn't care whether Roland was focused or not, "Your role is actually the same whether you participate in military training or not." ”

"If you want to participate, then go with the team, if you don't want to participate, it doesn't matter if you come back after filming starts."

"Oh, by the way, don't you want to play with guns?"

"Let them bring live ammunition."
