atypical hollywood life

Looking through those comments carefully, Margaret found a strange phenomenon. Most of the film critics who praised her were older.Even many older film critics who have always been relatively conservative praised her. You must know that these film critics are about the same age as Arthur, and some have even retired for a long time. Is it unscientific to wave the flag of Shakespeare's literary and artistic films at a low cost?

There are also those words of praise, what a smile that is so sweet to the heart, she laughed as if she heard the sound of flowers blooming, her bones were so crispy from laughing, a wonderful innocent sexiness...

In fact, she has a thick skin, but isn't this exaggeration a bit too much?Is she really that good?Margaret touched her face in the mirror. Why did this happen?

After thinking about it in the mirror for a long time, she couldn't come up with a reason. Could it be Arthur?A flash of inspiration flashed in Margaret's mind, and a person who might have caused this situation came to mind.

Action is worse than heartbeat, she quickly grabbed the phone and dialed a number. As soon as the call was connected, she couldn't wait to say, "Hey, Arthur, did you do it? You bought those film critics?" Facing her old grandfather , Margaret's tone was subconsciously a little coquettish.

"Meg? Arthur just got a call to go out on business, not at home, what happened?"

It was Rebecca who answered the phone. Margaret was a little surprised. Didn't she and Mr. Lewis go on honeymoon?After thinking about it, I asked, "Rebecca? Didn't you go on your honeymoon?"

"Yeah, I came back halfway, I'm pregnant!"

Rebecca's tone was a little excited. She and Daniel had been married for more than a year, and because they were busy making movies last year, they didn't go on their honeymoon. This time, they went to Greece with Daniel to make up the trip when they were free.Unexpectedly, she found out that she was pregnant soon after arriving in Athens, so the two of them went to the hospital to make sure that there was no problem and then flew back from Athens.Today they came to Arthur to tell him the good news.Unexpectedly, she received a call from Meg.

"Oh mygod! Congratulations, honey, how is the baby? Will you hurt him by tossing around like this?"

Margaret was also taken aback by the news, but was delighted for Rebecca with it.Compared with Lilian's early marriage and early childbearing, Rebecca can be said to be late marriage and late childbearing.She always knew that Rebecca wanted a small family of her own, but she didn't know why she didn't meet her fate until the appearance of Daniel Day Lewis ended her single life.Now that she is about to have a child of her own as she wished, it is truly something to celebrate.

"No, Daniel and I have consulted with the local doctor to make sure that there is no problem before we dare to fly back. You know that my age has passed the best age for childbearing. If you want to give birth to this child safely and healthily It would be better to go back to New York, which has the best medical institutions in the world."

Margaret dragged a chair over and sat down, quietly listening to Rebecca's expectations for the unformed fetus, "I hope it will be like you, Meg, if it is a boy, it will be like you Strong, brave and smart, if it was a girl, she would have a beautiful appearance, elegant figure and wisdom like you..."

Unlike Lilian, who has achieved success and created all kinds of brilliance in the eyes of others, in Rebecca's eyes, Meg is the greatest work of Lilian's life. She is smart and beautiful, with elegant posture, mature thinking and planning. The best model for children in Rebecca's eyes.She hopes that her child can also become a person full of wisdom and charm like Margaret.

"By the way, what did you just say? Arthur bought the film critics?" Rebecca was talking and suddenly remembered the reason why Margaret called.

"Yes, I wake up every morning and see newspapers and magazines that refresh my view of the world, are you completely shocked? Although I think my acting is not bad, but after reading those film critics I've been wondering if it's really me they're talking about? This is unbelievable!"

With such a thick skin, she couldn't accept those compliments calmly.

"Well, I'm sure Arthur didn't do it, but I probably know something about it."

Rebecca showed a mysterious smile, dear little Meg, it is easy to overlook some things when you see yourself in the mirror every day.

"What? Tell me!"

Margaret couldn't wait to ask, she was really curious, what could make a group of old men praise her to the sky?

"um, I'm sorry, you have to find out this by yourself, it's boring to tell you, baby."

There was a burst of laughter on the phone, and it was obvious that Rebecca had thought of something funny.

"Come on, honey, don't you just have the heart to watch me get lost?"

Margaret acted like a baby to Rebecca in a pitiful tone, but unfortunately Rebecca knew the character of the little girl opposite, so she firmly refused.Still, she gave Margaret a hint.

"Honey, if you really want to know why, go see old movies. They'll answer your questions. I'm going to take a nap and see you later."

After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Margaret to reply.As I said earlier, being born in the same era as Meg is the sorrow of those actresses, and now the most beautiful Venus finally begins to bloom her brilliance, 14 years old is enough for a European and American girl to determine her face The direction of development has been determined, and no one can stop Margaret's brilliance.

Margaret hung up the phone helplessly, really, why didn't you tell her, it's really so fun to see her scrambling claws?But does this also mean that the voices of these film critics are not a bad thing?By the way, why are they all old men?Could it be that her popularity with the elderly is really that good?Or is she just an idol for middle-aged women and men?

In Chicago, Roger Ebert and his assistant walked into a movie theater owned by AMC.Counting from the release of "Romeo and Juliet", this is already the fifth time he has come to this theater to watch this movie.His assistant, Norman Moulton, who came with him, is only 30 years old this year, and he couldn't understand why this big man in the film critic circle would watch this meaningless movie repeatedly.

According to Roger Ebert's consistent taste in film selection, he prefers independent films with distinctive colors and cores. These works can often dig deep into society and human nature or express the director's reflection on certain things with deconstruction.

"Romeo and Juliet", although this film was produced at a small cost under the banner of a literary film, in Norman's opinion, it is still a less obvious alternative commercial film.Look, handsome men and beautiful women, love and gunfights, the enemy's daughter and the enemy's son fall in love at first sight, old-fashioned can't be old-fashioned, at best it can be regarded as new wine in old bottles, if it wasn't for Margaret Jane's face, he It is definitely not going to step into the cinema for it.So he couldn't understand why his employer would come to the theater to watch this movie over and over again.Of course, for him, Margaret Jane's face is enough for him to enter the theater again and again to contribute to the box office.But that's Roger Ebert, the undisputed leader of American film critics!Would he watch a movie over and over again just for the face of an actress?Do not make jokes!

For this point of view, if Roger Ebert knew it, he would probably scoff. Why can't he keep walking into the cinema just for the face of an actress?He also had a time when he was young and frivolous and frantically chasing stars, okay?The young man is still too young and has too little experience.He can't understand how much memory sometimes affects a person.

On the big screen, Juliet is sending Romeo out of her room. From time to time, she looks back in panic to see her mother's approaching distance, her eyes are full of helplessness and panic; but she is reluctant to part with Romeo's departure, her eyes seem to pretend It fills the entire starry sky and releases its emotions.It wasn't until Romeo jumped off the window sill to leave that the shy but happy smile on her face gradually faded away, and she put on a cold look.

What a beautiful face, cold as ice when not smiling, but passionate when smiling.

Roger Albert noticed that when Juliet smiled at others, she always pursed her lips slightly and smiled very reservedly, but she often showed her teeth happily when facing Romeo.The white teeth lined with ruddy lips make her smile extraordinarily sweet

, the way she bowed her head when she gently pulled her hair behind her ears was simply intoxicating.

The scene cuts to the morning when Romeo and Juliet are separated.

The sun shone in Juliet's room, coating her with a layer of gold. She opened her eyes and showed a sweet smile to her husband, as satisfied as if she had obtained the whole world.Also pursed his lips slightly, but this smile was not perfunctory and reserved, it was full of enthusiasm and joy.

Just like a baby, there is never sorrow and suffering in the world, they are innocent and easy to satisfy.But how long can this beauty last?The more beautiful the smile at this time, the more tears when the suffering came.Baz Luhrmann really destroyed the most beautiful things for others to see, and made everyone cry for this suffering.Roger Ebert sighed, this face should not be accompanied by tears at all, she should have the best life and not die for love.

"... Mom, help me, don't let my father marry me... My marriage bed can only become a tomb..."

Juliet cried and begged her mother to help her, so that her father would dispel the idea of ​​marrying her to Paris. She slipped and fell beside the banister of the stairs, and shed tears of despair.And her nanny couldn't help her out of the predicament in front of her. Poor Juliet could only shed her tears with empty eyes...

"It's a bit like Vivien Leigh. She was so desperate and painful and had no way out in "Broken Blue Bridge", but she is not Vivien Leigh. She is too far away from the world, but so close..."

Roger Ebert muttered to himself that even though it was the fifth time he had watched the movie, he was still deeply fascinated by this girl.

No, no, don't think so dirty, Roger Ebert is not a pedophile, he just experienced the tail of the golden age, remembering his youth.

"What did you say?" Norman was completely engrossed in Juliet's blue eyes just now, it seemed that the entire Pacific Ocean turned into rain and poured out of it, and he felt extremely uncomfortable because of her crying.Why did Juliet's father do such a cruel thing to such a pitiful daughter? Didn't he see Juliet's tears and pain?

"Nothing? It's just emotion."

Roger Ebert ignored Norman's words and continued to stare at the big screen.
