[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

When the eyes with the old Benjamin's thoughts blended with the expression of a newborn baby, and conveyed a clear, calm and nostalgic look to the aging Daisy at the last moment of life, the audience also endured Can't help but choke up following Daisy.

The old Daisy tore her throat and said with all her strength: "At that moment, I knew he recognized me."

At this moment, the soundtrack of the movie is sad and heavy, and the deep piano sound is urging the tears in the audience's eyes.

"Then, he closed his eyes, as if he fell asleep..." The little baby in the arms of the old Daisy slowly closed those blue and clear eyes, there was still nostalgia in the eyes, and the slender eyelashes trembled slightly , These eyes did not open again.

"Good night, Benjamin."

This ordinary greeting successfully made the audience in the premiere hall burst into tears.

During the two hours of watching the movie, it seemed like a big dream. Everyone regarded themselves as Benjamin and experienced a brand new life.Benjamin's life is unfortunate but lucky. Unfortunately, he was born old and his parents abandoned him; fortunately, he has a loving adoptive mother and Daisy who loves him.

When he was a little old man, Benjamin fell in love with Daisy, who was as cute and beautiful as an angel.But for such a boy, he started to experience old age prematurely. When he was young, his face was old. When his appearance was really young and youthful, his spirit was exhausted like an old man with wind candle.

Benjamin and Daisy have a child, but they have to bear the situation that they are as young as a teenager, while their wife is gradually losing their youth, and the child will grow up day by day.

In such a life, there is no way to do the right things at the right age. Benjamin can only keep missing and losing.

Everyone wants to go back in time, but can going back in time really bring what people want?

No one can answer this life-and-death proposition. Feelings, like life, are extremely fragile existences.If the price of turning back time is to make yourself and your loved ones suffer from the constant misses and regrets in life, why not choose an ordinary life?

At the end of the movie, we go back to the big clock. The big clock submerged in the water is still running, but the pointer is completely reversed...

It wasn't until the ending subtitles appeared on the screen that everyone in the auditorium came over and the movie was over.I don't know who took the lead, more and more enthusiastic applause sounded in the premiere screening hall, and the lights were turned on again.The director, production team and the main creative team all came to the stage. Vincent and David Fincher stood in the middle, and they looked at each other with a rare smile. This scene was fully captured by the off-stage cameras.

David Finch kept pressing down with his hands, trying to stop the applause from the audience.The applause and the sound of flashing lights lasted for a while before completely stopping.

Vincent and Cate Blanchett, who were standing on the side, exchanged glances. Both of them pursed their lips and raised their chins slightly.This expression is a super test for the overall image. If it is done well, it is noble and glamorous but also too alienated. It just happens to keep the overall image of the individual in a rather delicate state.Of course, if you don’t do it well and take pictures from an angle, you will look like a goose stretching its neck.

After David Fincher finished speaking, it was the producer's turn to talk, and the two also revealed part of the next itinerary.Vincent never talked much, and when it was his turn, he just kept repeating the same phrases: first, he affirmed everyone's efforts in a polite manner, and then picked out a specific example to focus on.This example is usually a co-actor or director who has more credits for the opponent. Since Vincent didn't want to brag about David, Kate naturally got this praise.

The journalists, media and filmmakers in the audience knew very well what the goal of Vincent and David Fincher's work was.Two well-known lovers of "villains" get together, one likes to direct dark movies, and the other plays characters who are devoid of perverted characters and their image doesn't follow the mainstream path. A warm movie, this is really unexpected!

The energy inspired by such "negative negative positive" is terrifying and shocking!

With the same mood as the journalists, media and film critics, there were also movie fans who had won tickets and came to watch the movie. When these people left the movie theater, they were still in a state of daze and did not recover.

"Luna, what I want to say is that your mascara and eye shadow are all glued together."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!!!"

"I cried out my contact lenses and just put them back on in the bathroom to see clearly."

……

In the exit passage, movie fans were still discussing the movie just now in twos and threes.

"Although the Moon Demon and the Great Demon King are mother and son in "The Bandit in My Heart", the relationship between the couple is completely compatible. Sure enough, as long as it is beautiful, no matter what the occasion or the plot, it is K!"

"The scene where Daisy and Benjamin met for the first time as adults shocked me!! Daisy is so beautiful, and the way Benjamin looked at her at that time made me speechless. This kind of reunion really There are thousands of words in the silence..."

"Although the theme of this movie is very meaningful and the filming is very touching. But after I watched it, there was a lingering sense of loss in my heart. Going back in time is actually not a good thing. Although Benjamin and Daisy missed it twice, Obviously two people love each other so much, but there is no way to stay together—but in the end, they stay together again, but one of them has become an old woman, and the other has become a baby who has entered heaven..."

"This is the best movie I've seen this year, good in every sense!"

"At the beginning, I was still thinking about the special meaning of the big clock. I didn't know until I watched the end. Hey, it turns out that David Fincher can make such a movie!"

This world premiere held in New York has already locked in the fruit of great success - Vincent has seen the finished film before, so his mood is different from Kate and the others.There is no need to say much about the overall effect of the movie, and there is nothing to say about David Fincher's ability to control the field.Although the theme of this movie is not the "darkness" and "scar" style that he is good at, it does not leave any room for people to make a sensational and warm person.

After the premiere event, there was a reception of some sort—look, when no data had been given feedback and the situation was unclear, Paramount clapped both hands and read the writing "reception" as " The celebration party" was opened.

Frank's public relations team stared at him for a moment and did not dare to relax, but the boss had a good time at the reception.After the celebration, the whole team moved to Los Angeles that night.When everyone took advantage of the autumn morning sunshine in Los Angeles to catch up on the manuscript, it happened that magazines and newspapers released new issues, and weekly magazines and daily periodicals were on the shelves one after another.

When they arrived at the venue, Cindy had already brought back a stack of mainstream movie magazines and entertainment newspapers.These things will pass through Frank's hands, and after re-screening, the last remaining necessary ones will be sent to Vincent.

On the other hand, Vincent has not yet had time to watch the online premiere. The viewing effect has reached the first blowout effect. Rotten Tomatoes' online freshness index remains high, and several other mainstream movie websites have also updated their data in time. The situation after the premiere of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" can be described as explosive and radiant praise. The box office of the premiere still needs to wait for the statistical results to know, but in terms of word-of-mouth on the first day of release, the effect this film wants to achieve It's half done.

And after Roger Ebert wrote a super-long film review for Vincent in "Indomitable Way", except for a part of the film review published in the limited space of the "Chicago Sun-Times", his personal Facebook homepage is Updated with a longer, more informative review.

"When "The Rock in My Heart" was released last year, I thought about it for a long time and did not write. For some actors, the Oscar may be the phoenix in their career. But for Vincent, the life after the Oscar is more important. "In My Heart" Vincent in Bandits can suppress the radiance of Leonardo after a complete transformation. This is something beyond my expectations but within reason. A person of my age treats a young man like him While having harsh critical standards, he also has a greater tolerance for him."

"Compared to "The Rock in My Heart", which is "human nature is evil", when I saw the four stages of Benjamin in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", I was extremely shocked in my heart - David Fincher His 'scar-like' director style has not disappeared, he just changed to a softer and warmer expression technique to highlight this trace."

"The collision of ideas between Vincent and David Fincher is very gratifying. Since most successful actors and directors have their own style, it is not an easy task to integrate the subtle benefits. If you change If someone else takes the role of Benjamin, I think this movie will become a complete fantasy romance. The existence of special effects is not to weaken the actor's expressiveness. I look at every stage of Benjamin, it must be Benjamin, not someone else who. If the changes in each stage are just to highlight a younger appearance, fewer wrinkles on the face, and a more handsome appearance, then this special effect and change are meaningless..."

"Watching this movie, you need to set aside those natural laws of human growth and conventional aging rules. Based on a biopic of fantasy realism, although the main theme of the film is warmth, in fact the film's The contradiction is particularly obvious in this tone. This is my second satisfaction after Vincent's performance. The most fearful thing about watching a movie is not the ups and downs of the whole two hours of suspense, but the desire to go to the bathroom. My mood has endured a mediocre drama..."
