When the foursome, with the help of the crew's public relations staff, broke through the siege of media reporters and entered the Ryerson Theater.
The entire red carpet aspect of the premiere is over.
In order to grab the news, many media reporters immediately evacuated the scene, found a nearby"temporary office location", and sent photos, short videos and press releases from the premiere as quickly as possible through laptops and wireless networks.
Obviously, these reporters all belong to the Internet media, and their timeliness is so fast that traditional media cannot match it.
"As soon as the news of the group"Infernal Boys" singing on the red carpet was posted online, it attracted the attention of the majority of netizens.
Especially those short videos with sound and pictures quickly spread on the Internet, and the English version of""Little Apple" also quickly became popular in North America. In the original timeline, the song"Little Apple" can be widely circulated around the world. You can say it is a"salvation song", but you cannot say it is a"bad song""!
Looking back twenty or thirty years later, those so-called elegant and artistic songs have disappeared from people's minds, but"Little Apple" must still be there.
Back to the Ryerson Theater.
At this time, in the entire screening hall , it was already packed.
The Ryerson Theater is an auditorium-style theater that can accommodate thousands of people watching movies at the same time.
At this time, the first ten rows of seats were occupied by celebrity guests, media reporters, film critics, and overseas distributors who were interested in the movie. Businessmen were waiting, and it was packed to the brim, occupying nearly half of the seats. The remaining twelve rows of seats were for movie fans, including Canadians, Americans, and those who came all the way from Europe.
Director Martin Scorsese directed this movie He has experienced countless scenes like this in his life, and logically he should have calmed down, but at this time he was surprised to find that he was a little nervous.
Because he was ambitious for this movie, and because of past failures , aroused the emotion of worrying about gains and losses.
Oscar!
This is his goal.
The lights go out and the screen lights up
《"The Departed" is a remake of"The Departed" without much change in the plot.
Two protagonists:
Billy, played by Leonardo, was a child when his father was beaten to death by Castro, the boss of the Boston underworld, so Billy decided to be a righteous policeman when he grew up and eliminate violence.
However, during the job interview, the superior humiliated Billy in every possible way. Under various threats and inducements, Billy was forced to choose to work undercover under Castro.
Colin, played by Martin, was an orphan who was injured in a fight. After being rescued by Castro, the gangster took a fancy to the child's cleverness and adopted him as his adopted son.
When he grew up, Colin became Castro's right-hand man and was sent to the police academy to become an undercover agent.
Colin is a character with high IQ and EQ, and with the blessing of various small intelligence sent by Castro, it can be said that it is smooth sailing in the police station, and he quickly becomes a police detective. Not only does he gain a career, I also gained a girl.
Billy's environment was much worse than Colin's, but he still relied on his daring and hard-working temperament to gain Castro's trust step by step, and he also picked up a girl - well, Colin's Girl.
As time went by, both of them began to feel irritable about their undercover status. Their precarious lives made them want to seek change.
During the long-term undercover process, Colin became more and more aware of his identity as a police officer, and at the same time became increasingly disgusted with Castro's threats and use.
After learning that Castro was also an FBI double agent, Colin was afraid that Castro would betray him, so he betrayed Castro during a roundup and shot him personally in the end.
In order to restore his identity, Billy went to the police station to communicate with Colin, the former chief's successor, but found that Colin was an undercover agent in the police station, so he sneaked away secretly.
The alert Colin also guessed that Billy knew his identity as an undercover agent, and directly deleted Billy's file.
What Colin didn't expect was that Castro had saved all the recordings of his private conversations with him and left them with Billy.
Billy used the call recording to ask Colin to meet on the rooftop and wanted to get his files back.
The two had a dispute, and Billy almost subdued Colin in the elevator, but was shot in the head by another undercover gangster who arrived.
Colin also took advantage of another gangster to dispose of Billy's body and shot him dead.
At this point, no one knows his undercover identity anymore.
Colin thought he was safe, but he missed one person - Dickman, the undercover police officer with Queenan. After knowing that Colin was an undercover agent, he simply ambushed Colin at his home and shot Colin because there was no evidence.
At this point, the two undercover agents all received their lunch boxes, and the movie ended.
Many people, especially movie fans in China, feel that the American version of"The Departed" is too simple and crude, especially the ending.
Compared with the romantic, fashionable, exquisite and charming Hong Kong version, the American version presents the characteristics of vulgar realism and grassroots.
Whether it's lighting editing, camera movement, scene management, music and sound, the American version gives people a"street-level" feeling.
In the video, everyone from the police to the gangsters use swear words on a daily basis
""Fuck" is said 237 times in the film.
If the Hong Kong version is an elitist police film, then this"The Departed" is a street-oriented grassroots film.
In the eyes of Westerners, this is how police films should be made, because this is The police and gangsters in their eyes. (To read exciting novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
Martin and Nicholson’s performances in the film are very expressive, and Leonardo also plays a superb role.
Watching the movie"Billy" slapped"Colin" with foul words, and Leonardo showed a satisfied expression on his face.
"I acted so well!"He thought so.
Scorsese was also very satisfied with Leonardo's performance.
The one who thought he would be a hindrance actually managed to hold on when he was competing with two top-level movie stars, and he didn't. It made people feel that he was at a disadvantage. To his surprise, he also had a favorable impression of Leonardo.
On the contrary, he had no feelings for Martin and Nicholson.
It is like why"The Prodigal Son" easily gained the favor of the public, because"The Prodigal Son" He was too bad in the past, but suddenly became good, and the contrast between before and after is very impressive, which will leave a deep impression on people. The good guys have always been good, and everyone thinks that is what they should be, but there is no big touch.
When the film comes to the end, Colin is shot dead When he was about to die, Martin curled his lips subconsciously.
His aesthetics were still a bit oriental.
But when he heard the overwhelming applause in the theater, he knew that this movie was a success. Westerners like this, simple, direct and rough.!
(Brothers, please take care of me, please give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you. Jian).
