In the original book, Benjamin has always lived at home, but in the movie, in order to show the conflict, the protagonist Benjamin Button was abandoned by his father from birth and adopted by a black woman, Queenie.
Chai Chai, this little chubby guy, probably eats too well. His whole body is chubby, and he looks very conspicuous in the dog-walking team in the park.
But after hearing her say last night that she liked the story of the scholar and her daughter in "Hyperion" the most, Lin Han thought of a movie that was somewhat similar to this idea - starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. "Rejuvenation" is also called "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"!
When your girlfriend is angry, no matter what is going on, you can't talk back, otherwise it will easily lead to a fight, especially now that you wake up very angry.
In order not to become a burden to Daisy and not to cause trouble for his daughter's growth, Benjamin sold the real estate and factory his father gave him and left them to Daisy before leaving; after Benjamin's appearance became smaller and smaller and he suffered from Alzheimer's disease, , Daisy not only never left him, but even moved to take care of him. Benjamin, who finally turned into a baby, closed his eyes peacefully in Daisy's arms!
The author adopts a third-person omniscient perspective. For short stories, this omniscient perspective is not only conducive to promoting the development of the plot, but also makes it easier to show the inner world of Benjamin and others.
In the history of film and television adaptations of literary works, there is a very interesting phenomenon. The most successful film adaptations do not necessarily come from a certain literary masterpiece.
However, no matter how Lin Han coaxed him, the little fat man just stayed on the ground and refused to move. This is already the world-famous trait of Shiba Inu, and Lin Han had no clue at all.
Another clue is based on the past, telling the story of Benjamin's strange and troubled life experience since his birth in 1918.
This film has slow and slow moments in its eloquent narrative, with a warm and soothing narrative rhythm. The theme of the film goes beyond expressing Benjamin's fantasy life and love story, and then explores the true meaning of love and the meaning of life, revealing A warm feeling comes out.
In the early morning, the window outside the window was golden, and the sun rose early. After Lin Han rubbed Chen Jiaxuan's neck in a not-so-authentic way, he found that she had fallen asleep again.
Lin Han drowsily stretched out his hand and pinched her neck, and readily admitted his mistake: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
The little fat man's eyes were focused on the ham sausage. He stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth, and then suddenly became a dog-legged person and stopped lying on the ground.
There is still dust on the computer that has not been opened for a long time. During this period, Lin Han used another laptop when traveling between the set and home.
This feeling does not change due to changes in age and appearance.
The entire movie is full of thoughts on life and death. No matter what form of life, people will eventually face death.
"Chai Chai, let's go home and eat."
"You guys have a way of taking advantage of laziness." Lin Han touched its chin vigorously, thinking about how to make it healthier.
After running less than a kilometer, Lin Han felt that he hadn't warmed up yet, so the little chubby boy started to protest. He squatted on the ground with his head stuck in his head and refused to move his limbs despite being pulled by Lin Han.
After Lin Han shook his head fondly, he got up gently, washed up and put on sportswear, then came down to the living room and took Chai Chai out for a walk, and by the way, he went for a morning run!
The film "Rejuvenation" uses two clues, Daisy and Benjamin, to construct the film. In a flashback, the legendary story begins with Daisy and her daughter reading the diary left by Benjamin.
But in the movie, except for the inspiration of rejuvenation, the rest of the story is almost different! The movie is full of warmth and literature, showing family, love, life and death.
To deal with the little chubby guy who loves to eat, he had to use this kind of extraordinary method. It cost him only one yuan to let him run with him for several kilometers!
Here is not only the lingering love between men and women, but also the touching family affection.
Fitzgerald's novel can be said to be worse. The story takes place in a prominent Baltimore family before the Civil War. It tells the story of Benjamin Button from his birth in 1860 to his death as a baby around 1930. It is a single story. The clues travel.
"Rejuvenation" is a movie adapted from Fitzgerald's short story of the same name. There is no original work, so naturally it is impossible to have a movie!
And when a humble novel is adapted onto the screen, it may become a classic film that far exceeds the original work. This "Return to Youth" is an excellent example!
Lin Han stopped torturing Chai Chai and put ham sausage to his mouth.
Chen Jiaxuan just wanted to say that her neck hurt. She didn't remember at all when she fell asleep, and why she and Lin Han were close to each other when they woke up, and neither of them lay down!
All of us will experience the death of our parents, the growth of our children, and our own aging. This is an unbreakable law of nature.
However, although there is the actor Brad Pitt in this world, there is another person missing, the American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.
After returning to the villa, Little Fatty shrugged his head, his tongue hanging from his mouth, breathing heavily, and the flesh on his body trembled. He lay on the carpet and refused to move, just like a useless dog.
"I'll go to work now, so it won't be blamed on me!" Chen Jiaxuan waved to Lin Han and walked out of the door with her car keys.
On Thanksgiving Day in 1930, Benjamin, who was almost 11 years old, fell in love with Daisy at first sight when he saw her for the first time. However, they did not get married until after 1945. In their words, they met at the midpoint of their lives, which was the last time they met. When they match.
Fitzgerald's most famous work is "The Great Gatsby". He was still a good friend with the literary tycoon Hemingway and is an indispensable figure in the history of American literature.
"Don't let it lie in front of you and roll around or act coquettishly and then rebel." Lin Han pointed out the problem calmly. Every time Chen Jiaxuan was the soft-hearted one, he would always be impressed by the little fat man.
"It's all because you dragged me to chat yesterday, and now my neck is stiff."
I have to say that the screenwriter of the movie, David Fincher, is a wizard. He turned the ridicule in the novel into a strong sense of love and life.
In the end, he had no choice but to buy a ham sausage from the nearby convenience store, then tore open the package and deliberately waved it in front of Chai Chai!
In the same love line, in the novel, his wife fell in love with his maturity and stability, while he fell in love with his wife's youth and beauty. In the end, both of them were getting further and further away from each other's original intention, so they hated each other.
What is it like to chat until you fall asleep
Chen Jiaxuan walked over from the balcony with a cup of coffee. After she saw the interaction between one person and one dog, she couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law Zhou loves it so much. She tries different tricks to get it food every day. I think starting from today , except for the staple food, all snacks should be replaced with fruits, give it some grapes, apples, carrots and the like.”
"Woof woof woof!"
After sending his girlfriend out, Lin Han couldn't take any time off. He gave himself two days off so that he could take a little rest before preparing to edit all the filming.
He hadn't exercised for a long time. Under the sunshine, he forcibly dragged Chai Chai, who was unwilling to move, for a jog in the park. The fresh air made his whole lungs rejoice.
Little Fatty, who had just finished eating ham, glanced at Chen Jiaxuan, and then put his neck on the carpet. Without food, he couldn't cheer up.
"What's for breakfast today?"
The double clues mean two restricted narrative voices. Although they unfold separately, they sometimes intersect. They switch back and forth between Daisy, who is seriously ill in bed, listening to her daughter reading the diary, and Benjamin's strange life, which combines past stories and reality. The characters connect naturally!
Lin Han felt that Chen Jiaxuan would definitely like this story, so he was going to write it out. The reference was not the original novel, but the plot of the movie. After all, the plot of the movie was more attractive and at the same time expressed The theme isn’t that sharp either!
One clue is based on real time, telling that when the hurricane approached in 2003, Daisy, who was dying in the hospital bed, asked her daughter Caroline, who was guarding her, to read her diary to her.
Lin Han swayed deliberately, then walked forward with the ham sausage and minding his own business!
"Do you want to eat?"
Lin Han said with some reluctance: "Be careful on the road."
Originally, Lin Han wanted to send a love poem to Chen Jiaxuan, which would be more romantic.
Once people get used to being busy, they have to find something to do. Lin Han looked at the little fat man with his eyes closed, and then he went to the study room on the second floor.
Although he is so fat, he still doesn't exercise. Chai Chai and Lin Han have become the focus of people's attention on this street. Such a strange and cute Shiba Inu certainly attracts much attention!
"The Samoyed over there looks very beautiful. Do you want to go and strike up a conversation?"
The novel "Returning to Youth" is full of absurdity and black humor, showing all the troubles and absurdities caused by age dislocation, as well as the harshness of the world!
For example, in the story of the novel, Benjamin was admitted to Yale University when he was 18 years old, but people thought he was here to show off and deceive, so they kicked him away. Later, when he was 60 years old, he was admitted to Harvard University and took revenge on Yale University on the football field.
At the moment of delicious food, Little Fatty didn't have time to think about these things. He ran around Lin Han with his legs, barking and barking, attracting his attention and asking the owner to quickly hand over the ham sausage to him.
As a result, the little fat man immediately came back to life with full health. He bit into the ham sausage and ate it, as if the loss of strength just now was just an illusion!
