King of Hollywood

As the plot continues, the audience finally sees the basic clues and framework, and the male lead, Leonard, not only lost his wife, but also suffered from transient amnesia as a result of entering the house - where the director specially illustrated the spitting fragments of the liquor waitress into the bottle, and aroused the audience's laughter - the male lead for the rest of his life after the robbery used the photographs to help him remember and began tirelessly searching for the rapist to avenge his wife.

However, the director tells the story in a way that goes hand in hand with narrative and inversion, although the structure is novel and can inevitably seem a little arduous, and if you don't pay attention to it a little, you may miss something. For example, the lead was clearly related to Teddy, who had been shot at the beginning, and he was eccentric in describing his symptoms through the person who had also suffered from transient amnesia and killed his wife. Unfortunately, there are too many clues and entanglements, and the plot develops quickly, making it difficult to understand.

But that's why the film is so appealing, and if it wasn't at the cinema, maybe someone would jump up and ask for a new clip.

Finally, the movie came to an end, and everything was revealed, and even if the audience missed a lot of clues, they understood the ending. Teddy was a cop, he helped Leonard find his wife's rapist, and Leonard had already avenged it, but he forgot. Teddy then used him to kill a drug dealer and swallowed $200,000, knowing that Leonard no longer trusted him, and took a picture of him saying no more. Ultimately, under various factors, Leonard killed Teddy as the murderer of his wife, so there was a beginning, just to know if Leonard would forget.

With the subtitles playing out, the lights went on, however, there was no applause in the theater, only intermittent discussion. Though I've figured out what kind of story this is, many places don't get it just once, like the guy in Leonard's mouth who has transient amnesia, does he really have it or just imagine it? Was his wife murdered by a rapist or did he do it himself? The audience exchanged their views with each other, forgetting that the film was over.

“Looks like the movie failed without even applause.” Adrian, sitting in the back seat of the crew, “sighed," I have to say, Dan, you disappoint me. ”

“Me?” sits in LaVerne Dennis looking at Adrian in a strange way.

“Yeah, you're an actor. Shouldn't you be taking some responsibility?” Adrian is full of seriousness.

“This...” Dennis sighed, looking around. "Kate and Joe are actors too. ”

“That's different," Adrian waved, “you played the most. ”

Kate sitting next to him finally couldn't help but smile and say, "Okay, Ed, stop messing with Dan. Didn't you hear what they said? Maybe a round of applause will ring soon. ”

As soon as the voice went down, the clapping applause sounded. At first, there was only one person, and a few seconds later, most people added it, just because they were discussing the plot of the film, a lot of people clapped, but the applause appeared a little sparse.

“What do you say?” Kate got her chest up with pride.

“Very good, very good.” Adrian Haha smiled and kissed her pretty face.

Looking at these in the eye, Joe? Pantoriano then patted Dennis on the shoulder and said in a serious tone: "Let's go, Den, this has become their * * place. ”

Several of the crew members around her suddenly laughed, and Kate was a little embarrassed to stop coughing over her head.

“Well, guys, it's almost time for us to leave too.” Look at the audience starting to go out three, three, two, two. Adrian stood up and greeted everyone ready to go back, but just walked down the aisle he was stopped by several people.

“Hello, Mr. Adrian, this is John from The Los Angeles Evening Post? Bateson, can I ask you a few questions?” One brown hair at a time, the five officials said, quite righteous men.

“Mr. Adrian, I'm a reporter for Eastern Republican. Can I talk to you about your film?” The man behind Bateson reached over and he had a very eye-catching ear, a Frenchman, because he spoke French.

There were several others who introduced themselves in their own language or in strange English accent, and Adrian nodded and glanced at LaVerne, who shrugged his shoulders slightly.

Are they tabloids? Okay, it doesn't matter. Adrian smiled and raised his hand: "Thank you for your service. If you have any questions, please don't be too harsh. I'm sure you don't want me to say anything I can't tell you? ”

Although the mainstream of the Berlin Film Festival is a politically oriented film, which can be one of the most influential in the world, there are still many outstanding films to attend, such as the Silent Lamb, which took away the best film and the best male and female protagonists at the 64th Oscar. And like Dennis and them, Anthony, the lead actor? Hopkins and Judy? Foster also attended the Berlin Film Festival.

Although Adrian, the director and producer of Two Big Smoke Guns, has received a lot of attention over the past few months, he is newcomer director after all, and the journalist always sees no better news value than those big stars, so the well-known media has gone around the more famous directors and big stars.

But it doesn't matter, there's always better than nothing. A few months ago, in Venice, even after the two Big Smoke Guns were well received, no journalist came to visit him - although traveling with Kate was one of the reasons.

Adrian's cooperative attitude was well received, and the first question was asked by the French journalist: “I wonder, for what purpose is a clip like yours, Mr. Adrian? ”

“Storytelling, of course, is what makes people or surprising or confusing clipping methods to tell good stories.” Adrian replied with a smile, but inevitably scolded an idiot in his heart. Although attention is a good thing, people can't help it if they are stupid. The tabloids are just tabloids.

“This is an amazing movie, can I tell who killed Leonard's wife?” This is John from The Los Angeles Evening News? Bateson.

Another one… Adrian shrugged: “I'm sorry, I can't say this straight, I can only say that all the clues are in the movie. If you still have questions or feel something is wrong, you might want to take a look at it again in the theater. ”

Adrian was depressed by the fact that other reporters in the tabloids, like them, kept asking questions around the plot. But just think about it, the tabloids are chasing very eye-catching Hanabi news, and they come to visit him, mostly because the suspense of the movie is too attractive, besides just meeting him. From this point of view... not bad.

Adrian gave LaVerne a glimpse as he spoke and walked out, and a group of people quickly arrived outside the theater. LaVerne nodded and suddenly shouted, "Gentlemen, if you're not satisfied, ask Dennis? Mr. Knight, he's the first character in the whole movie. ”

Journalists shrugged around Dennis, and it turns out that in the eyes of journalists, especially entertainment journalists in tabloids, actors are worth a lot more than directors. Dennis is obviously somewhat flattered, although there are only seven or eight reporters around and they are all tabloid reporters. When have they ever been treated like this? Even after a good movie in a reputation box office. But then he calmed down, smiling at each other, and he could tell he liked the scene.

Adrian slipped away with Kate quietly watching as Dennis caught the journalists' attention. I'm sure with Dennis' abilities and LaVerne and Pantoriano to the side, there's nothing wrong with that.

“Really, I want to stay there until they ask me a few questions?” Kate suddenly complained after walking two blocks and seeing how impossible it was for the reporters to find them, but she knew what was in her heart when she looked at her moon-toothed eyes and smiling expression.

“Okay, so, big star, Kate? Miss Beckinsale, how do you feel about your role in this act?” Adrian asked with a smile.

“Hmm...” Kate twisted her head and thought for a moment, her face suddenly collapsed, “Feels... not so good. ”

“Why?” Adrian had an accident.

“Think about it, my first character is a guy who smokes pot all day, smokes insane, and doesn't have a single line; and my second character, full of dirty words, has a drug-dealing boyfriend who was killed... none of it is normal.” Kate sighed and said, "Especially in Memory Shards... It's so ugly, I can't even see it on the screen. It's weird. I didn't know how ugly it was when I was on the set...”

Adrian couldn't help laughing: “Okay, when you have time, I'll see what's right for your romantic comedy, the characters who look sexy and attractive at first glance. ”

Kate just wanted to say hello, but she swallowed it back when she saw Adriana smiling and not laughing.

“What... isn't it?” Kate asked some nagging questions.

“No, nothing.” Now Adrian sighs, “frankly, you did a great job in Memory Shards, better than Dan, second only to Joe. ”

That's true, Dennis did a great job, makeup and acting basically met Adrian's requirements, but he was too young to do it well in some small details. The average audience may not be aware of it, but Adrian has seen it countless times as a clip. Fine, enough good stories to make up for it.

Kate is equally young and even a little too young, but once she's not as young as Dennis, the more spiritual and plastic she gets the younger she is, coupled with Adrian's slight modification and coaching of the script and his deliberate makeup artist to cover her up with uglier disguises than the original, so she's doing a great job.

(Yesterday I went to watch "Pretty Girl Agents", full of screen cg, the translation of "Sweet Peas” and “Big Money” is also dead. But without these, the story is actually sad, but most people are paying attention to CG. But it also shows how important storytelling is to directors. Schneider is still a lot worse than Nolan, and this movie could have been comparable to The Dream of Theft, unfortunately.
