"Yes, the new film is indeed a biographical film about Mr. John Nash. This is different from "The Pianist". In my opinion, "The Pianist" is more of a personal perspective to observe those tragic and dark years, So the implications are far beyond ordinary biographical films. As an aside, although Mr. Spearman has just passed away, he has seen the film and gave it a fairly good rating, which is really frightening. May he rest in peace in heaven.
Well, back on topic, I know Mr. Nash was controversial in many ways when he was younger, but that's not what I wanted to focus on in the movie. It is important to know that biographical films, although moderately artistic, can handle these controversial points with care. It doesn't matter if it's artistic, but it has to be based on respect for the facts, rather than saying something is not something. Adding one's own opinions out of thin air without authorization is not good for biographical characters, and it is not what a rigorous director should do.
That's right, I'm talking about the movie Crazy for the Cello, and I make no secret of my distaste for it.
Coming back again, I intend to observe Mr. Nash's life from two aspects, how he fell into chaos and couldn't extricate himself and how to get out of the chaos, and what force kept Mrs. Alicia waiting. follow him. I dare not say that I can fully reflect the life of Mr. Nash in the movie, that is what a documentary should do, and a two-hour movie is still shorter than a human life. But at least I know where to work and where not to mess around.
As for those tabloid reports, hey guys, when did they reach 100% credibility? Come on, anyone can look at pictures and talk. A hundred people have a hundred different opinions on the same picture, so look at these things when you are entertaining, and then just laugh it off. If you really believe it, then... well, that's it . "
After typing out the last line of words, Angela read it again from the beginning to the end, and closed the notebook after nodding with satisfaction. Although "A Beautiful Mind" kept a low profile during the preparations, it doesn't mean that it can continue to be low-key after filming on a university campus. Don't think that students in famous universities are all nerds.
So it’s not a big deal to honestly admit on the blog that what you’ve made is not a big deal. First, you can hype your new movie a little bit, and secondly, it can prevent those paparazzi from reading pictures and making up stories.
In fact, she had already wanted to do this when Harvard started, but she was busy with Kate, Jessica and Natalie at the time, and then she was troubled by her own emotions when she returned to Princeton. Then it was thrown behind her head, and even if the appearance of arguing with Kate was published in the tabloids, she could not remember it.
It was not until after the quarrel that he returned to Boston alone, and after a series of incidents, he finally calmed down his chaotic mind, and then he turned the plan again.
"Lily," Angela beckoned to Alizee and handed the notebook to her, "Remember to go back to the hotel and remind me to go online and post what I wrote today on my blog."
It's a pity that the wireless network is still only a local area network. As for Weibo... The technology of mobile phone shooting is not yet mature.
"Understood." Alizee nodded, "Do you want to call Wilder over?"
"No, I'll go directly, and I'll explain to them my next requirements and talk to Russell and Kate." Angela smiled and turned around after walking a few steps: "Lily."
"I'm here," Alizee looked up, her usual calm.
"It's nothing, just..." Angela made a few meaningless gestures, "Thank you."
"No need." Alizee shrugged, she thought about it and added: "We are just an employment relationship."
"Oh, don't be like this, Lily, do you know that this makes me sad," Angela couldn't help rolling her eyes, "I thought our relationship should be closer. You should know that I didn't just because That's what the assistant said."
"I'm just passing by, don't worry so much." Alizee didn't seem to hear her complaint.
"Well, anyway, thank you." Angela shook her head and muttered in a low voice, "Awkward girl."
In fact, when everyone is awkward, don't they bury their heads in the sand on some issues? Angela sighed in her heart, walked a few steps to the middle of the crowd and clapped her hands: "Guys, it's time to continue!"
After resting for dozens of minutes, the members of the "Beautiful Mind" crew moved again, adjusting their respective tasks according to the director's instructions and preparing to continue shooting.
"That's okay, anyway, the lighting problem can be adjusted in the later stage." Angela went to the two main actors who were talking about the lines after exchanging opinions with the assistant director.
"I don't need to say more about this scene where Nash and Alicia meet, I believe that you are ready," Angela said, turning to Russell Crowe, "Although you will definitely be unhappy, but I Just to remind you again, Russell. The math problem written on the blackboard was actually written by Nash, not just random symbols like before. So if you say a line wrong and write a wrong symbol, we have to Start all over again, don't make me shout NG too many times!"
"Just wait and see." Russell said confidently and walked outside the classroom.
Kate had to go to the back of the classroom, but Angela stopped her immediately: "Kate, you can try to add something of your own, as long as you grasp the independent feeling of Alicia."
"...Okay, I see." Kate nodded calmly after looking into Angela's eyes for a long time.
Angela breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, at least on the surface it seemed that Kate was not very angry - thanks to Alizee's intelligence. So tonight maybe...
With the sound of the flapper, the filming of the first acquaintance of Nash and Alicia begins. This scene is very simple. Nash is in class, but the workers outside are using machines to hit the concrete floor. Closing the windows can reduce the noise but the room will become stuffy. At this time, Alicia, who was sitting at the end, went straight to the window, opened it, and discussed it with the construction workers loudly, hoping that they would wait until after class to come here to continue working. After a few good words, the worker agreed to her request, and Alicia also entered Nash's eyes.
The reason why the plot is arranged in this way is to highlight Alicia's independent character. No matter what the two came together in reality, there must be a plausible reason and process in the movie.
In Angela's view, the reason why Nash fell in love with Alicia was not unrelated to her independent temperament. At that time, it was the end of the 1950s, and the women's liberation movement was just beginning to take shape, so this kind of women had a special attraction. Similarly, Alicia's ability to wait for Nash for decades is also due to the strength of this independent character.
So here she arranged a small detail. Alicia took the initiative to go to the window and open it to negotiate with the workers outside when Nash couldn't deal with the dilemma of noise and sultry heat. A proud look at Nash. At that time, Angela will give a close-up shot, showing Alicia's character for the first time.
"Cut!" With Angela's voice, the camera paused, and then Russell stretched his hand up with depression. This somewhat antics made the surrounding crew members and several extras couldn't help laughing, because it was the fourth time that NG was wrong because of the wrong line, and Angela really said it right.
"Want to rest, Russell?" Angela looked at him with arms crossed, "Kate's shot is over."
"If your situation doesn't recur, I definitely won't let you wait too long." Russell said, shaking his arms and grinning. After Angela came back from Boston, although the requirements were still strict, at least they were not as harsh as before, and the smile on her face was much more. That's why Russell said this.
Angela, who was just listening to her ears, was very unhappy. When she was demanding the crew because of certain issues, she tried her best to conceal that she was targeting Kate, but everyone still saw it a little bit. Now that he is trying to mend the relationship with Kate, Russell came to interject like this, if Kate is unhappy because of the memory of the past, his work will be wasted!
"Really, then we won't rest," Angela gave him a cold look, and then waved to the assistant director, "Go ahead, I think Russell should be well-informed now, he has learned the lesson from before. "
The small town of Princeton at the beginning of the lantern looks a bit deserted, but this is also one of the characteristics of American small towns. Walking on the street at this time is not a good thing, not to mention that as the thirteen colonies of the United States when the United States was independent, many buildings with the flavor of the 18th century are preserved here, so the scenery here is also very good except for Princeton University.
But Angela didn't have the heart to hang out on the street at this time. She and Natalie visited the town a few years ago when they visited Princeton. Besides, there were always some ghostly paparazzi wandering in the town.
Of course, these are not the main reasons. After dinner, after finishing some things that need to be processed in the room, such as uploading blog posts, Angela has more important things to do.
Angela, who was in the mirror in the hotel corridor and tidied up her hair, took a deep breath with a wry smile, walked a few steps outside Kate's room, and knocked on the door.
"What's the matter?" Kate's voice came from behind.
Angela bit her lip before answering: "Room service."
The footsteps that had reached the door suddenly stopped, and a few seconds later, Kate Gujingbubo's face appeared in front of her with the sound of the door opening: "I remember that I didn't ask for service."
"Can you let me in?" Angela pleaded and even said in a low voice.
Kate pursed her lips and stared at Angela for a few seconds before moving out of the way. After the two entered the room and sat down on both sides of the sofa, Kate said again: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"..." Angela's face flashed a wry smile again, and her folded hands twisted a few times: "I want to... talk to you about the next scene... You know... The time span is about decades, so... "
As she spoke, she secretly observed the other party. Seeing that Kate was always looking at her expressionlessly, she finally sighed and raised her hands: "Okay, Kate, I'm here to apologize."
"Apologize?" Kate finally raised her eyebrows, "Is there anything I need to apologize to Miss Genius."
"Don't be like this Kate, please," Angela said with a bitter face, "I'm sorry, I was really wrong. I'm selfish and stingy, and I never care about other people's feelings. When I get what I want, I cry and scream. When I become stubborn, no one can persuade me to come back. It seems that I don’t know what flexibility is…”
Hearing her chatter like this, Kate's mouth couldn't help twitching: "What else?"
"Let me think about it..." As if not hearing the sarcasm in the other party's tone, Angela raised her head, touched her chin and thought for a few seconds: "By the way, I always kick the quilt, and what if I hug you to sleep? And won't let go. And farting without saying hello, and often grabbing food from your hands... "
"Angie!" Kate finally couldn't help it, and called out through gritted teeth, but Angela's next words made her stunned.
"… Of course, the biggest mistake was to leave Princeton and go back to Boston without telling you anything. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I was dizzy and thought it would make you happy to win Best Actress, but … I’m a fool I don’t know how to face you, I just wanted to be alone, so I hid without leaving a message, I didn’t think about how you felt… I’m sorry, Kate…” At the end Angela The whole person shrunk on the sofa, she lowered her head and didn't care whether Kate heard or not, she muttered to herself in such a trance.
"Okay, Angie, although I'm very unhappy about your sudden departure, I didn't blame you for your grace..." Kate's heart softened, after all, this was the first quarrel since becoming a couple. The reason why Angela has been indirectly trying to repair the relationship during the filming these days is probably to prepare for the current apology, and there is no need to continue to be angry.
"No no no, Kate, you don't understand, I'm just worried I'm just afraid that I might lose you one day," Angela kept shaking her head, "I wanted to hold on to you, but… Stupid way, I'm an idiot..."
"Relax, Angie, relax, it's okay." Kate quickly sat down beside Angela, took her into her arms and continued to comfort her: "I'm right here, don't worry, dear, I'm right here."
Angela hugged Kate tightly, as if she would disappear from her side in the next second: "You won't leave me, will you?"
"Of course, unless you don't want me." Kate said jokingly, and then sighed slightly: "Actually, I was also at fault, I shouldn't... It's really funny, but I take this damn feeling seriously... "
However, Angela didn't notice the latter words, the phrase "unless you don't want me" made her feel extremely bitter. After careful planning for so long, I hoped to get myself out of the emotional predicament, but in the end I chose to be an ostrich.
I still have a chance right? Next time I will definitely be able to make a more precise plan, and it will definitely work by then. Angela was angry in her heart. It's just that she probably doesn't believe this rhetoric, otherwise why would she suddenly lose control when she apologizes
"Is it better now?" Kate asked, stroking her back. Following her, she joked again: "I can't believe that the talented lady who has always been confident in picking up the guide tube would be so insecure."
"Kate!" Angela raised her head and shouted in dissatisfaction, but the next harassment was blocked in her mouth.
A familiar and warm feeling instantly flowed through her body through her lips, and her body gradually softened.
"Is it better now?" After sucking her lips again, Kate let go of Angela and looked at her with a smile.
Angela didn't speak but wrapped her neck around the other person's neck again, buried her head on her chest for a long time before standing up: "Thank you, Kate, that's all, I'll go back first."
However, Kate obviously didn't intend to let her leave so soon, she stretched out her hand and hugged Angela in her arms, followed by pinching her buttocks with a half-smile: "Want to leave so soon?"
"Then... Then what else can I do?" Angela was a little frightened by the kneading feeling on her butt, although she knew what the other party was thinking, she still pretended not to know.
"Don't ask, Angie!" Kate said fiercely, her eyes full of smiles, "I kept studying and figuring out for this damn character, and I went to the children's shelter and the hospital to experience life, and I was abstinent for several months! Filming finally started. Yes, but you not only pick and choose my acting skills but also do things that make me sad, why can't I charge some interest!"
Kate rolled over and pressed her on the sofa, smiling like a big bad wolf.
Angela didn't know if she was really startled or just pretended to be surprised, and then she folded her arms in front of her chest and said cautiously, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate now, right?"
"Who told you... it's inappropriate now?" Kate narrowed her eyes dangerously, making it clear that she would not let her go.
"...As you wish." Angela immediately closed her eyes and made a death-like expression.
A few frantic vents may allow you to temporarily forget those troubles.
It's just that some things can't be avoided forever, maybe a temporary escape can postpone some things, but you can't postpone it indefinitely, and to a certain extent... it will be a disaster!
