Hollywood Road

"You should probably thank her."

On the screen, the middle-aged lawyer patted Nick's leg, "But remember, don't mess her up!"

A burst of laughter broke out in the theater, and the laughter was extremely loud. Since Amy's plot reversal, such laughter has appeared more than once.

"This pair..." Kyle Dunst leaned forward and closed. "It's so fucking, it's a perfect match!"

"Hahaha..."

There was laughter all around.

Judging from the laughter alone, this is definitely a laughter reaction that can only be found in a bad movie, but the screening is nearing the end, not even one person has left, and no one is dissatisfied or mentions any words related to the bad movie.

This movie is very dark, and this movie is very happy!

The most interesting thing about the movie is that there is no "villain" in the whole film, and the story itself is the villain.

Amy is both the perpetrator and the victim. The media always pays attention to the victim's side, so they give her attention and sympathy. After Kyle Dunst knows the truth, Nick becomes the victim again, so His feelings moved to him again.

"In fact, this is not the case with marriage. No one is clean. Everyone is both a perpetrator and a victim."

When the subtitles fell, Kyle Dunst heard a middle-aged man in the front row say so, he was not married yet, and he could not feel this experience. He just thought it was a very interesting movie, and the director used obscure methods. , Ridiculing marriage, love and the media all over again, it is simply cursing people without swearing.

The movie was over and there was joy in the theater.

"Such a film with a dark theme." The young black man said to Kyle Dunst. "The director is really good at making such a good entertaining film."

A friend of his interjected at this moment, "It's really amazing. This movie is absolutely amazing."

Another person opened his mouth and said, "A watch with a dog, it will last forever."

The lights on the ceiling came on, and the audience began to leave. Kyle Dunst found that most of the people had smiles on their faces, obviously enjoying this "Disappearing Lovers".

After watching the premiere, Daisy did not smile on her face, but felt that something was touched.

An hour before watching this film, she was all at ease: "You think marriage is like a dog. Men are so fucking. Only three to five years will be cheating to find a little girl. If you can't get married, you will be cold and violent, okay. Rub the fire."

In the next hour, to her surprise, she reversed.

Nick Dunn, played by James Franco, has arrived home poorly. When he held Amy's hand over and over again to practice saying I love you, Daisy felt like vomiting.

The most frightening thing is that Daisy finds that she is a bit like Amy, although she doesn't match her realm-terribly beautiful, terribly sexy, terribly smart, and terribly cool.

But the kind of bitch's strength is really similar, both paranoid and more sensitive. In high school, someone described her as Loli face **** heart, and she has memorized the ugly word **** ever since.

Murphy blackened the marriage scene very humorously. In the face of the dinner crisis, Amy did not pick the breadcrumbs, but chose to smash the entire dining table, splashing blood on her husband's face, and her husband was forced to admit his life.

At the end, Daisy sympathizes with Nick. Although it seems that men can conquer the whole world, in fact, his free will is always invisibly dominated by women...

Stepping out of the Chiefs Rock Theater where the premiere was held, Daisy looked back again, as if... as if Murphy's director skills had improved again.

She was the first person to see Murphy's film, and she also watched him grow from a young director to where he is now. Naturally, she has a feeling in her heart.

She can see Murphy's tremendous progress in almost every film.

This "Disappearing Lover" is definitely a model of a drama. Murphy's grasp of the plot is perfect, combining the warmth of appearance with the coldness of reality. The segmented narrative in the first half coincides with the truth in the second half. Being one is very clever.

Daisy never thought that marriage could evolve into this way. The husband and wife went from falling in love, to cheating, and then to extremely fierce and indisputably a very clever game.

Also, Murphy doesn't like the media very much, right? After watching this film, it is not difficult to discover how easily the public is captured by the media and appearances. The "enthusiastic" crowd in the film has repeatedly become the background of the cold truth.

"Is marriage really like this? It's just a system set up by mankind for the reproduction of the next generation? A kind of **** in the name of love and the original intention? Why does it end up like this, mutual control and mutual use?"

Thinking of this, Daisy fought a cold war, marriage or something, the most terrible, it is better not to touch.

"How?"

In a theater in Santa Clara Valley, California, a brown-haired girl walked out with Mobik Stani, "Is she still that angry?"

"No need." Mobik Stani shook his head. "It is worth seeing such a wonderful film, even if it is temporarily deceived by some propaganda methods."

What's the point of being misled to see such a special film?

But when he saw his girlfriend in a blink of an eye, the expression on his face was somewhat unnatural.

The film's perspectives hidden under the appearance of entertainment are too sharp, and it can make people re-examine marriage. It can make people who are afraid of marriage more afraid of marriage, and the rift in marriage can reach the point where it can't be repaired.

The most terrible thing is that the profound and suffocating depression also perfected the suspenseful atmosphere of this film.

A black car drove away from the Chiefs Rock Theater. Robert Downey Jr. was driving with a smile on his face and could not stop. Susan Downey, who was sitting on the co-pilot, frowned and seemed confused.

"Is it so funny?" She looked at Robert Downey Jr. and asked, "Is the marriage problem reflected in it funny?"

"Marriage problem?" Robert Downey Jr. shook his head, "My dear, don't be fooled by that guy Murphy. This so-called marriage problem is just his personal taste."

He turned his head to look at Susan Downey, "Now that I am out of the theater, think about it, how many connections do these things in the movie have to real life?"

Susan Downey thought for a while, then shook her head slightly.

"Murphy, this guy, has made very obvious progress in comedy and humor."

With the character of Robert Downey Jr., once the chatterbox is opened, it will naturally not be closed easily, "Did you not find out? The comedy elements in this film cannot be ignored. During the process of watching just now, the audience behind them I will laugh once, and many characters have a humorous dialogue. I like this method of interspersing comedy in suspense. It can adjust the atmosphere very well, but it hasn't become nonsensical. Murphy's black comedy fan is indeed coming out. Up."

"Yeah." Susan Downey nodded.

She is also a filmmaker, and of course she can see these things.

"Murphy's use of subtext has reached the point of being superb." Robert Downey Jr. was very emotional, "I think "The Lost Lover" can become a textbook work in this area."

He paused, coughed twice, and then said, "The opposite of this aspect is typically "Moulin Rouge". Although it is also a good-looking movie, the central word'Love' appears too many times, and there is no room for subtext. I said it all for you."

"Look at "The Lost Lover" again." He said endlessly. "Murphy has a lot of subtexts, but they are all presented to you. They are not forced into you by lines."

Knowing the chatty character of Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey agreed with him and said, “Murphy’s sarcasm of the media, the jokes of the truth, the criticism of the illusion of happiness, the despair of marriage, these The sentiment is naturally brought out after watching the movie."

"So..." Robert Downey Jr. used Murphy's words, "This makes the film very high. It has a good theme, but those who throw these principles naked on your face are all ordinary movies. , A good movie is based on the premise of having a good theme for your own comprehension and experience."

"Murphy just doesn't go wrong." Susan Downey sighed lightly, "The future is limitless."

She recalled the end of the movie and said, “Murphy’s narrative technique is absolutely classic. The frogs boiled in warm water gradually create a suspenseful and depressive atmosphere, without appearing abrupt. These depressive molecules are really surrounded by them. Watching people, devouring people’s minds, making people unable to escape. The meaningful ending of the movie is a fatal blow, which completely penetrates this repressive element into the viewer’s heart."

"My dear." Robert Downey Jr. freed a hand and patted his wife's shoulder lightly. "I said, this is Murphy's evil taste. Don't be influenced by him."

Seeing Susan Downey’s expression, Robert Downey Jr. suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to go to Santa Monica tomorrow to settle accounts with Murphy.

"My dear," Susan Downey said suddenly, "you made a very good friend."

Robert Downey Jr. could understand her subtext and shook his head and said, "You won't understand the friendship between us. We are not only friends, but also the best brothers."

Susan Downey really can't understand the feelings between such men, especially in places like Hollywood. The relationship between their small team is really rare.

"The tragedy of love is not life and death, the tragedy of love is indifference."

I don’t know why, sitting at the dinner table the next morning, thinking of the movie he watched last night, David Ellison’s mind came out of his mind. He ate and muttered in his heart, “Some people seem to It was born for movies, and the works created are also born for shadows, just like "The Lost Lovers"."

After all, he has studied at the USC Film School, "The story Murphy produced, even if it is interpreted from many different angles, is still memorable."

Thinking of this, David Ellison looked at a number on the paper next to him. This was what Stanton Studio had just told him on the phone. The early box office of "The Lost Lover" was $6.2 million!

David Ellison then received a call from his father, and Larry Ellison asked him to return to San Francisco early tomorrow morning.
