King of Hollywood

“Luckily, I finally saw Miracle Director Adrian yesterday? Colwell's latest work, yes, is the war movie that got boiling at the beginning of the year. -g Not bad for the scene alone, big, very epic feeling, exciting war scene enough to make every man's adrenaline surge, he's always had good control over the scene and the rhythm, but if in other ways, the movie... too bad.

I think Mr. Adrian should probably go back to school and have a good history lesson, especially in British history, in William? In Wallace's time, Scots haven't even started wearing skirts. Of course, it is acceptable to distinguish clearly between Englishmen and Scotsmen, but remember that the Wallace family is loyal to Edward I and that Wallace should be a traitor, not a hero, if it is to be compared. And a real hero, a real ‘brave heart’ Robert? It was ironic that Bruce had become an indecisive figure and finally, inspired by Wallace's death, had begun to fight for Scotland's independence.

Beyond that, Princess Isabelle was only a few years old when Wallace was treasonous, and she was not married to England. How did she survive the English Channel and Wallace to create feelings? I think it's perfectly possible for Adrian to do this. Princess Isabel whispered to Wallace that she was pregnant with her child when she saw him and then King Edward arrested Wallace and sentenced him to death. Look, it's so touching and resolute. That's what Hollywood movies are all about, isn't it?

Not to mention the other details: in the first showdown, a soldier who fought Wallace sometimes wore a helmet and bare his head, and the lens changed as soon as it turned. It has to be said that Wallace is lucky that his opponent took off his helmet and wore it, otherwise he might have died in front of the other party.

This is a movie with no sincerity, and anyone who knows that history will find countless mistakes in the last three minutes, and the miracle director chooses a subject like this to make a movie like this, and he just wants to show himself whatever type he wants to make, and the audience feels about it, later. ”

- Ty? The Times, Johnny? Stanley.

“Undoubtedly, this is a wonderful film, a magnificent epic poem, a national cry, the ‘freedom’ before Wallace was sentenced to death.

This is a story adapted from real history. In the Middle Ages, Britain was not as united as it is now, England and Scotland were at war with each other for years, sometimes united and sometimes divided, and The Brave Heart tells the story of the heroes who emerged from Scotland's struggle for independence at that time.

William Wallace's father, a hero who was designed to be executed by a sly long-legged king when he fought England, did not want to inherit his father's legacy until his fiancée was murdered for resisting English soldiers, although Wallace hated Englishmen. After Wallace's revenge, in the cry of his villagers and friends, 'We must be heroes’, he finally understood the precious value of freedom and finally understood his mission and assumed it.

In successive battles with Englishmen, he was supported by Scottish nobility and finally laid a solid foundation for independence. But politics was never dirty, Scottish nobility could not control him, so he turned around and betrayed him to the sly and brutal King of the Long Legs. Wallace, who had been betrayed, was not discouraged. He continued to fight the English, and the traitors, who, time and again, had uncovered the Long Legs King's plot and formed a deep friendship with Princess Isabel, who had married far away - both of whom knew the emotions in each other's hearts, but the difference of identity could only bury them in the heart.

Ultimately, Wallace is in Robert? Unknowingly betrayed by Bruce's father to Englishmen, Bruce has fallen ill and the long-legged king is ecstatic, wanting to execute each other in public and continue to entrench the royal authority. However, no matter how the executioner tortured Wallace, he did not utter the phrase 'ask for forgiveness' and eventually shouted ‘freedom’ at the moment the axe fell.

Adrian is a miracle director, whether after winning or failing after betrayal, or the final cry, as well as the emotions of private Rivalese and fiancée and Princess Isabel, touched the hearts and minds of the people, and the final 'freedom’ was particularly shocking, and a story came along, unconsciously immersed in it and fluctuated with the rhythm of the story. Although there are still a number of flaws, such as a relatively large number of pairs of lenses, different details of history, such as Wallace's true story, this does not mask the film's enormous charm. "

- Philip the Los Angeles Times? Gunther.

Shortly after it aired, the trailer for Bravery held its first screening in Bosworth, followed by two dramatically different reviews. The former is extremely cynical, if not professional, and I'm afraid it would be useless to criticize it; the latter is extremely praiseworthy, almost immediately considering it to be the best film of the year.

The two newspapers published in this way know why, basically, British film critics are so disgusted by The Brave Heart that they don't even hide it.

“Even if it's adapted to real history, there has to be a bottom line, and I'd rather not take part in this screening.” A British film critic said in his column.

And while some film critics in the United States think it's a little over-adapted, most of it starts from the movie itself and thinks it's pretty good.

“It's just a movie, and as long as the key scenarios don't change, the details can naturally change for the story. Was Wallace ever against England hundreds of years ago? Of course. Is Scotland independent? Of course. So, what's the problem? It's just a movie, not a documentary.” In the face of questioning by their British counterparts, American film critics immediately refuted.

“Perhaps the bottom line should be popularized for some, as Johnny mentioned in that article, when Princess Isabel was only a few years old when Wallace betrayed her, but in the movie she came to England and had feelings with Wallace, which is ridiculous. Has Adrian considered respecting history?” The British will strike back immediately.

“If you pay attention, you'll find that in the final subtitles, the clerk's watch says‘ This story is not real history ’, and I'm sure a lot of people don't notice it. It's just a movie. Why can't we put those things down and analyze them from a movie perspective? Aren't those powerful, exhilarating, beautiful scenes and scenes that a great movie should have?” The Americans wrote with half a mockery.

“Please note that the advantages and disadvantages cannot be overlooked because of the advantages and disadvantages, which most likely outweigh the advantages, thus affecting the overall quality of the film." The British film critics who participated in the screening, although fewer than the American film critics, did not lose any light on the mouth battle.

The two contradictory sharp points of view collided unabated, and in mid-December '95, entertainment news featured the most remarkable mouth-water about "The Brave Heart," apart from those inherent gossip stories and movies competing for Christmas-New Year. It resonated enormously among ordinary people, just as Adrian's original Howard Manor aroused curiosity. What kind of movie would make film critics in both countries quarrel so much?

“Of course, I'm going to see it. It's going to be an interesting movie, isn't it?” An Englishman answered this after being questioned by a journalist on the street.

“It goes without saying that the work of the miracle director must have been excellent.” Americans did not hesitate to choose to support it.

With the development of the mouth battle and the involvement of the media in other countries, the national journalist said he looked forward to the film, wanted to know exactly what Adrian had changed that history to, and second, he was very fond of Sophie? Marcel's performance. Instead, the Scottish media in the same country remained neutral on the pretext that no one had participated in the screenings without knowing the specifics of the film, even if some wanted to promote the glorious history of Scotland's independence, because they had not participated in the screenings and the information collected was incomplete, and the media in England and the United States had taken the word for themselves.

Nevertheless, the rhetoric could not be stopped, and even The Sun could not sit down, abandoning the scandal of a miracle director who was no longer progressing, and then deliberately conducting two surveys in England and Scotland on whether to support the miracle director's new film. The final result was only 15.2 in England, 23.4 in no way and 4 in no way; 8.4 in Scotland, 21.5 in no way and 7 in no way. As before, not commenting is simply listing the data, and mindfulness is not necessarily “vicious”.

Such a survey was really pointless, and even a spot check of individuals could not represent the views of the region as a whole, and the readers ate it, which prompted some further discussion.

Finally, even Adrian, who had not expressed any opinions on the matter, finally made two remarks under the questioning of journalists.

“It's just a movie, it tells a story, it's not entirely history, any adaptation is a re-creation, you can't ask it to fit in with certain facts that you think it is. I understand their mood, and I agree that any historian can pick dozens of mistakes out of them - in fact, films about historical subjects have always been, and it's easy to pick mistakes - but I don't see what the problem is with making such a film, rather than thinking that it propagates a mistake in history, rather than thinking about how to introduce real history to films that have seen the film in doubt.” That's what Adrian said.

Of course he understands what the British think, and he's got a little bit of pride in his heart, Mel? Although Gibson has also provoked some controversy, he has not made the world as stormy as he is. Ultimately, the British probably have a feeling of betrayal, and before that, Adrian had a name that best understood the British American director, from "Howard's End" to "Emma," which was very good, and the British inevitably had a sense of pride in the Americans, so that the pride grew, and Adrian was blown up accordingly, just like Gwyneth, who played the British character.

And now you're taking William? Wallace, the then traitor and Scottish independence who made films on the subject, also held the title of freedom, and it was absolutely false to say that he was not angry or angry. Although Scotland could not be independent now, the subject was still quite annoying, especially since it would propagate the mistaken history - not the shadow of a propaganda role - to other countries. So the British have this feeling of betrayal, even if the previous blow was to a large extent a willingness, and the attack did not spare any effort.

Adrian, of course, didn't take it personally. He had several other topics in his head. It was easier for the British to brag about themselves than to eat and drink water, so keep fighting. The more intense the better, the higher the box office will naturally be when the movie goes on. You know, since Emma's box office had fallen in a straight line after the big Christmas-New Year producer clamp at the big movie companies, but there was a huge recovery because of this mouth fight, how many people would have entered the theater first after the show?

Larry stopped in front of the hotel, limited edition, attracting a lot of attention. Adrian, dressed in a tie and looking handsome in a suit, got out of the car and threw his keys at the parking attendant and went straight into the familiar Baccarat Hotel, where he had attended too many parties and knew where he was, now, almost with his eyes closed.

“Can I help you, Mr. Adrian?” Who's still the lobby manager, Terry? Mabs, the first time he greeted me, he smiled, more than ever.

He was also watching how Adrian went from being an ordinary, wealthy kid to being a big shot today, so even if nothing happened, he would ask ahead in order to make a good impression.

“Nice to meet you, Terry. You look great.” Adrian smiled and greeted him as he walked to the elevator.

“That's because it provides the best service to the Guest.” Mabs answered very well, seeing that Adrian seemed to have nothing else to ask for and was about to leave but was called again.

“Wait, Terry,” Adrian seems to have something in mind, with a slight smile in the corner of his mouth, "there's something I might need your help with. ”

He waved, and Mabs walked to a quiet corner, looking around high before he whispered a few words in each other's ears.

“I get it,” Mabs smiled instantly, "I let someone arrange it. ”

Adrian pulled out the checkbook and pen from his arms, brushed it a few times, ripped it off and handed it to him: "Don't make a mistake. ”

“Rest assured, nothing will go wrong," Mabs put away the check and smiled with something that only men can understand, "as before. ”

“Same as before.” Adrian similarly laughed deeply and then walked toward the elevator that had arrived.

Straight to the Blue Room on the fifth floor, the party is just beginning and all guests are here.

“Hey, Ed, you're finally here.” He just walked into the lobby, and a voice rang, with a beard, a little fat, Harvey? Weinstein rushed over.

“Your eyes are always so sharp, Harvey.” Adrian smiled and filmed each other.

“You're far worse than you are, you're a big shot, a big shot for the British and the Americans to argue over.” Weinstein Haha smiled and said that he was always so good at PR.

He talked to several people, all familiar to Adrian, as he dragged Adrian to him.

Jerry Brookheimer, Don? Simpson, there's a Paramount manager and an independent producer, too bad Michael? Belle and Nicholas? Cage and Sean? Connally wasn't here because of something, or several of the main creators of Brave Assault Island would be here.

Don Simpson's face didn't look good, he was a little gray, which is no wonder he struggled back from the death line for just two weeks. The butterfly wings, by the way, are really confusing. Although Adrian warned Simpson, he didn't take it personally and sucked it when he wanted to. But Brookheimer listened. Adrian General Rivan? He also heard about Phoenix pulling back from the death line, so he often reminded Simpson.

The other day, Brookheimer thought of this coming back to his house, and he happened to be having a cramp because of an overdose, and his girlfriend was in the lookout, and Cesar was shaking without knowing what to do. Brookheimer, who had a little first-aid knowledge, handled the emergency immediately and called an ambulance to get Simpson back.

“If it wasn't for Jerry, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you today.” Simpson sighed when he talked about it, "so I'm sorry I can't stay too long or drink. ”

“It's okay, Don. I think everybody understands, don't they?” Weinstein smiled.

“That's right, you take care of yourself, Dom. I still have a lot of ideas that I hope you and Jerry can make a great movie like Breaking the Island.” Adrian said the same thing.

The reason for this is that Simpson sees it better in some ways than Brookheimer, who, although able to capture the audience's psychology and those business elements accurately in the making, has one thing that Simpson has not learned, which is that he is confident of the American spirit.
