Views:

As soon as the two entered the screening hall, Drew threw off Nicole and ran to the front row crew members. Nicole only saw Drew whispering a few words to Tom Hanks who was sitting next to Eric, and Hanks smiled and got up and gave her the seat.

Although she is very envious, Nicole is very clear that she is not even qualified to sit in the front row, let alone let anyone in the front row give her a seat. Although she is a little unwilling, the girl still looks for it in the middle of the theater. A seat is taken.

There were more and more people in the auditorium, unknowingly, an elegant man in his thirties, wearing glasses, sat down next to the girl, the man seemed to glance at the girl inadvertently, showing a proper look of surprise , as if he had just discovered the glamorous girl beside him, he took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, hello."

Although the man's tone is very casual, girls who often encounter similar situations realize the man's intention to strike up a conversation as soon as the man sits next to her. Plain and authentic: "Hello."

Men don't care about Nicole's indifference, as () is a veteran of flowers, if you shrink back because of the indifference of the girl who hit up a conversation at the beginning, then you will never want to meet a woman: "Forgive my abruptness, miss, but you You are so beautiful, especially your hairstyle, which matches your facial contours, makes you look like a classical beauty. You know, many girls are used to perming their hair into fluffy little waves, But that hairstyle looks like a bird's nest to me, it's the worst, and there are so few girls with your taste."

When Nicole heard the man's compliment, her expression showed no joy of being praised. Instead, she flashed an embarrassing look, and replied with some helplessness: "Thank you for your appreciation, sir."

"You're welcome," the man said with a smile, "My name is George Northam, and I'm a film critic for Premiere Magazine."

"You can call me Nicole."

"Nicole, is it n-i-c-o-l-e? Wow, I suddenly realized that this name is almost made for you, in Greek, 'Nicole' is used to describe appearance Beautiful and delicate, but strong and independent young woman."

George Northon was about to continue to say something when the lights in the auditorium dimmed. For some reason, thinking of Eric's indifference to her during this period, the girl felt a little disgusted with this attentive accoster, and reminded softly: : "The movie has begun, Mr. Northam."

"Of course, I understand." George Northon realized that he was too eager, so he sat up straight and turned his gaze to the screen.

After the opening of the Statue of Liberty in Colombia, the little girl in the red hoodie let the fireflies fly, drew a series of beautiful characters and then rushed to the sky, turning into the brightest star in the sky. After that, the picture fell into a short period of time. In the darkness, the sound of footsteps sounded, as if knocking on the hearts of the audience, but the movie picture still did not appear immediately, and the list of the main creators began to appear on the screen.

In the curious expectation of everyone, the picture finally lit up. In the dim corridor, Tom Cruise, wearing sunglasses, climbed the stairs expressionlessly, and at the same time, sang with a mysterious and sad male voice It rang.

Nicole was staring at the screen intently, but two girls whispered behind her, and the other party should be Cruise's fan.

"Oh, God, I suddenly realized that my little Tommy walks so handsomely, Mickey, I can't bear it."

"Me too, me too, Erica, we must go up and ask Tommy for some autographs later."

In fact, Nicole also had the same feeling in her heart, although she didn't know why.

Fortunately, there was a professional film critic next to him, and George Northon also heard the emotion of the two Cruise female fans behind him, and he approached the girl and explained softly: "This is the result of the atmosphere, the echo of footsteps, the mysterious singing, the cold lens, And the silent protagonists make up a very contagious image, so it's not surprising that they feel that way. Eric Williams is a genius, just a few simple shots, highlighting the same The styles of his first two films are completely different. If the lighting of the picture is adjusted to normal, and the soundtrack and echo are removed, even if it is replaced with other soundtracks, then these few shots will not achieve the same effect. This kind of thing seems simple, But to be able to perfectly blend several elements together to form an irresistible appeal requires high artistic attainments."

Talking about other men in front of women is obviously not a wise behavior when picking up girls, but George Northam treats Nicole as an ordinary fan, and he doesn't think the girls sitting here will have a chance to touch Eric , and didn't think she would meet Eric, so she praised Eric without hesitation, and at the same time showed off her professionalism in film appreciation without any trace.

After arriving at the rooftop, the soundtrack style gradually became heavier as the camera followed the shots. After the hero stepped onto the edge of the rooftop, the screen began to switch between memory and reality. Through Andy played by Cruise and The dialogue between the doctors explained to the audience that Andy had only four weeks left to live.

"Oh, Tommy won't jump off the building, will he?" The worried voice of the girl behind him sounded again, which was actually the common aspiration of many movie fans in the theater.

The other girl immediately hugged her companion and comforted her: "No, no, Erica, you see Tommy is carrying a backpack. He must have other things to do. If a person wants to jump off a building, why is he still carrying a backpack?"

"Mikey, do you think Tommy is going to die?"

"Certainly not. I've heard many reports of terminal cancer patients surviving. Besides, this is a movie. Miracles can happen in movies. Tommy has never died in the previous movies. He never will dead."

"I hope so." Erica clasped her hands in front of her chest and made a praying look, while looking forward to the next move of Cruise standing on Tiantai Mountain.

But the movie did not immediately reveal the answer to the audience. After the title of "Dark War" was played, the scene turned to a restaurant. Sean, played by Hanks, was leisurely reading a newspaper while eating breakfast, and the camera quickly swung to the restaurant. At the bar, Andy, who also looked calm, was also eating breakfast, while looking up at the sitcom on TV, with a touch of reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes.

The two protagonists appeared at the same time, and the audience thought that the two would have a confrontation in this restaurant. After all, the name of the movie was "Dark War", but the scene was quickly cut to other scenes.

"I dare say, this scene with Cruise will definitely be repeated again and again. This is a time hint set by the director. Nicole, did you notice the look on Cruise? He only has four weeks to live, so, Whether it is eating, drinking, or watching TV, his expression is full of concentration and nostalgia, as if he wants to use the remaining four weeks to engrave all the good things in this world into his soul, I dare say Crewe Si will definitely die in the ending." George Northam next to him couldn't help showing off again.

Nicole just nodded slightly to show that she heard what the other party said, her eyes were still fixed on the screen, and the girl began to slowly enter the plot.

Inside the blockade, Sean got out of the car, hurriedly entered a police car, and said to Ian Spike, the police chief played by Joe Pesci, who was wearing a uniform of the inspector general level and a bulletproof vest: "Follow me Have the robbers been in touch?"

Ian's eyes flickered: "We talked in twenty minutes."

Sean raised his eyebrows immediately, and turned his head to look at Ian in surprise: "You went to talk? You must say that you are the chief of the Los Angeles Central District Police Department, Ian Spike, and surrender within three minutes, right?"

Ian shook his head in embarrassment, and then realized that Sean was now his subordinate, not the well-known elite of the police force, so he straightened his neck and turned his gaze to the side, with a look of what can you do to me? look like.

Joe Pesci's performance is very joyful in terms of language and gestures, and the audience has begun to smile.

Although Xiao En was a little helpless, he still asked people to play the recording of the negotiation.

One hand pressed the play button, and Joe Pesci's special voice came out immediately.

"Hello, I'm Ian Spay, Chief of the Central Los Angeles Police Department. You have been surrounded by me. You will surrender within three minutes."

Sean shook his head and showed an expression that was as expected, and Ian guiltily turned his gaze out of the car window again.

In the recording, the robber put forward a series of conditions. When Ian heard that the other party wanted a bulletproof car, he couldn't help retorting: "Why don't you want a helicopter?"

Hearing this, Xiao En shook his head and stomped his feet fiercely, with a kind of helplessness in his tone: "Hey, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

The atmosphere created by Hanks and Joe Pesci for the audience also broke out at this moment. With Sean's frantic movements, after hearing this line, the audience laughed for the first time in the theater .

Sure enough, the robbers changed the conditions smoothly and changed the bulletproof car into a helicopter. Sean could only sigh again and again, and asked for a walkie-talkie to enter the bank alone. The hostage crisis was resolved and the traitor was forced to commit suicide in fear of crime. Although Eric did not modify the plot in this paragraph, he consulted a real negotiator expert for his lines, so it is more reasonable and sharp. Even professionals can no longer jump out of the mistakes in this paragraph of verbal confrontation. Come on, of course, the plot time has been prolonged by a few minutes, but this is not a problem. The original movie is only 90 minutes long, but in Hollywood, most of this kind of big productions are about two hours long, plus The lines are cleverly designed, and the audience will not feel the procrastination of the plot at all, but can more carefully interpret the excellence of the leading actor, Sean.

Leaving the bank, Sean walked to a snack bar, bought a cup of Coke and a hamburger, and ate it. Among the crowd, an old man with thinning hair smiled strangely, and held up a camera to capture Sean's series of actions. photographed.

The old man's expression was a bit stiff, but with the iconic mysterious male singing soundtrack that appeared almost at the same time, although most movie fans were still a little confused, the professional film critics present all guessed that the old man was probably Andy in disguise.

Sure enough, the screen cuts to a room full of high-tech criminal props such as computers and camouflage equipment, and Andy pastes the developed photos of Sean at the scene of the bank robbery on the wall. At the same time, there are other old photos of Sean on the wall, such as when he was in swat (Special Weapons and Combat Team). Through the camera scanning the wall covered with photos and newspaper clippings, the audience finally understood Sean's identity.
