Rooney smiled brightly, as if breaking the thin ice, the warm spring sunshine fell, and there was a hint of sassy temperament in the greenness, which made people's eyes shine, and there was a vague sense of immaturity in the calmness. Restless, the fleeting childishness about her was even more childish than Renly looked.

"Why wait a while? You can do it now." Renly's answer made Rooney stunned, her eyes flickered a little, and she immediately stood up excitedly. After walking two steps, she found that Renly did not Following up, she couldn't help but stop and turn around, beckoning, "Aren't you going to be together?"

Rooney's temperament has the coldness of the Nordics, and she always maintains a certain distance between her gestures and gestures, so as not to reject people thousands of miles away, but it does have a cold alienation. But in fact, she is a true American who grew up in New York. When the smile blooms, the warmth that pushes the ice away is amazing.

After saying it, Rooney regretted it a bit. What if the other party refused? But before she could think of a result, Renly's answer was already ringing.

"Okay." Renly didn't say no, this is Telluride, isn't it? The Telluride who broke all shackles and barriers, and the Telluride who broke all boundaries and shackles.

Renly took the phone and took a few pictures of Rooney. The young people next to him raised their voices and asked, "Do you need me to take a picture for you?" Renly and Rooney were stunned at the same time. Time didn't react, and then I realized that they were talking to me, the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous, the two smiled at each other, and then waved their hands together, "No, no."

Rooney only realized at this time that her actions were too rash, they didn't even share their names, they were complete strangers, "Rooney Mara."

"Renly-Hall." Renly also chuckled and introduced himself politely.

"Yes, I know who you are." Rooney took over her mobile phone, her prudence eased a little, her words became more active, and she pointed to the other side, "I was going to go over and look at it. 'Buried alive', but the movie theater is full." She laughed again involuntarily, and that silly smile revealed a kind of innocence, "My friend was fortunate enough to watch this movie in Toronto, and highly recommended it to me when she came back. , in fact, I'm waiting for the 2:30 p.m. screening, right next door."

This explains Rooney's original intention of wanting to sit and relax in the cafe for a while.

"At least I've seen it." Renly's response made Rooney smile. "Trust me, it's a movie worth watching, although it's a little uncomfortable to watch. However, compared to '127 Hours', the acceptance level is much more forgiving."

Rooney's sister Kate starred in "127 Hours," and Renly's statement was clearly a pun.

Rooney understood at once, did not hide her smile, and chuckled lightly, "The expectation is high enough, and I hope the finished product will not disappoint."

"Renly, Renly." The group of young people beside him also recognized Renly at this time, and rushed up quickly, "Your performance is really amazing! It's amazing! How on earth did you do it? Everything is incredible!"

"Performance." Renly's answer made everyone stunned, and then they understood the meaning of this sentence - actors naturally use performance to complete their roles, and the irony and banter in it made everyone laugh.

"I mean, you're only twenty, aren't you? How the hell did you do it? There's a soul-stirring depth and realness to the performance of the whole movie."

"First of all, thank you." Renly bowed politely and accepted the compliment in such a gentleman's way, which made everyone chuckle again, and Rooney couldn't help but smile, "Secondly, it's really a daunting task to be in this movie. I didn't think I was capable of doing it, so I went for the dumbest way to really experience what it's like to be in a confined space. It wasn't a pleasant experience, but I was literally in a coffin for eight hours and it was It's obviously a huge help for shooting a work that's buried alive."

Before coming to Telluride, Andy Rogers and Renly communicated, it was a special occasion, all exchanges were equal, and honesty was a prerequisite for dialogue. So, here's the best place for Renly to talk about the preparatory process for the show—if anyone ever mentions it.

"Eight hours?" Rooney exclaimed in surprise.

Renly shrugged slightly. "Idiots use stupid methods."

Such a mocking response made the laughter sound again, "So, what kind of feeling is that?" Someone raised a question.

"I did my best to show it in the movie, that's my only job." Renly always spoke with a lighthearted, witty tone that kept the laughter from stopping. Give the audience an answer, or it will be a dereliction of my job."

"Just 100 minutes of the movie I can't stand it, I refuse to be buried alive in a coffin to die. So, I can't imagine what it's like to be in a coffin for eight hours? Are you sure the claustrophobia isn't going on? ?" Someone in the crowd said loudly, causing everyone to laugh again.

Then another question was raised, "Renly, so do you think there was an affair between Paul and Pamela?"

After this question came out, everyone looked at Renly and Rooney who was confused. In the past week, there has been a lot of discussion about "buried alive", and one of the hot spots is the relationship between Paul and Pamela.

Recalling carefully, when Paul saw the video of Pamela being threatened, his reaction was really too intense; and the relationship between Paul and his wife, his wife's friends also revealed clues; not to mention when Pamela was shot. , Paul overturned and vomited. All these details suggest that Paul seems to have actually cheated on Pamela, and CRT used it as an excuse to fire him, and he doesn't seem to have been wronged.

This topic has sparked a lot of discussions in the Yahoo community, but most netizens have not been able to watch the movie and cannot join the discussion. Some people support this view, but more people still oppose it, because the film shows in every aspect, Paul's persistence and love for family, especially in the last moments, even if it is only for an ethereal possibility, Paul is unwavering Cut off his little finger.

When we were in Toronto before, everyone hadn't thought about this, and missed the opportunity to ask; now we're finally able to talk face-to-face with Renly.

Renly smiled and said calmly, "Does this matter?"

This unexpected answer made everyone stunned for a while, and then someone responded and asked back, "Isn't it important?"

"So according to what you mean, if Paul and Pamela really had an affair, would the CRT company do the right thing?" Renly replied with a rhetorical question again, and several voices suddenly rang out from the crowd, thinking impulsively. To be affirmed, but the words swirled on the tip of the tongue a few times, and finally swallowed them all, leaving only a buzzing commotion.

"But!" The restlessness in the crowd still didn't stop. People wanted to argue, but couldn't say what was wrong.

Renly glanced around with a smile, paused for a moment, and then said, "Assuming that there is a friendship between Paul and Pamela that is beyond colleagues, then, let's see, what facts in the movie have changed. ?"

"His wife..." If Paul cheated, he would be ashamed of his wife and his family, but this is only a moral condemnation, and cannot be a reason for him to be buried alive. Nor should his son lose his father.

"The company...?" According to the timeline of the movie, the company didn't find out at all, but waited until Paul was trapped for several hours before they found the "evidence", and then fired Paul - as for the so-called Paul had already been fired that morning, which is pure nonsense. In other words, they were just looking for evidence to save insurance money, or even further, fabricated evidence. What matters is not cheating / cheating, but they need an excuse to fire Paul. If cheating is a fact, they get a handle, if not, they make a handle.

As Renly said, cheating / cheating is never the point. All CRT companies need is a pretext.

"But that doesn't mean he's right." The crowd shouted.

Renly nodded, "No one said he was right. But here's the problem. Under the game of the country, under the competition of interests, personal safety has never been important. Paul's right or wrong is right for him. It doesn't make any difference. But do you realize that your focus has inevitably shifted to cheating or not? What does that mean?"

It shows that the people are ignorant and easy to shift their focus—because they, like Paul, are independent individuals, they cannot consider issues at the collective level, and they must be more concerned about individual interests. This also means that when they encounter a crisis, they will also be abandoned like Paul.

The turbulent reflection made the turbulent crowd quiet for a while.

Rooney's voice was a little weak, but it came out clearly, "Seventy years ago, the German writer Erich-Remarque wrote 'All Quiet on the Western Front'; seventy years later, we Still making the same mistakes."

Renly turned to look at Rooney, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. The core of the theme of "All Quiet on the Western Front" can be organized into one sentence: in the face of national interests, individuals are the objects of being used, hypnotized, deceived, and sacrificed, while the people are always ignorant, easily fooled, and repeat the same mistakes again and again. This coincided with what Renly had just stated.

The "Buried Alive" script obscures the truth about Paul and Pamela's relationship, and that's what it's deeply intended to do.

"So, Renly, do you think what really happened between Paul and Pamela?" Some people in the crowd asked with doubts.

Renly said with a smile, "I think neither Paul nor Pamela should have died, but they both did."
