Hanks made It is
no exaggeration to say that the movie "Larry Crow" is completely produced by Tom Hanks. Since the establishment of the project in 2006, he was selected by Universal Pictures to co-write the script with Nia Vadalas, and later became the director and lead actor of the film. Tom Hanks put his personal characteristics completely into every movie. in the corner. Although the film is a trivial, even a bit clichéd love comedy, the star effect of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, who plays with him, should not be underestimated.
When the project was established, Universal Pictures hoped that Hanks could write a script that reflected the sudden changes in people's lives. So Hanks wrote the story of a middle-aged man who lost his job and re-entered the university to "recharge". For this story, Hanks said: “I hope to use this story to arouse people’s longing for beauty and their optimistic nature. This is a not-so-good era. Many people lost their jobs and lacked financial resources. Americans are very optimistic, but life still requires you to practice and work hard. Although the story of the film is not so inspirational, it is about a life after losing his job, but he did not fail, but was more active and optimistic. Facing life. In the end, he got a concept and thinking. He finally realized that losing his job is not a terrible thing. Looking at it from another angle, losing his job is a good thing. Such a story is indeed photographed. The Americans see it. To a certain extent, Americans are content with the status quo, do not want to make progress, and are afraid of change. They often say, I can’t do this, and I can’t do that. Why is this? So, we must change something. Things, and tell others that you must change. The change of ideas makes people feel nervous. But I always think that change is a good thing, and it may be the best thing in the world." Julia Roberts filmed "Food, Food, "Pray and Love" received the script from Hanks in the mail. After reading it, she immediately decided to participate in the filming of the film. She said: "The whole script made me laugh and scream because it really It’s wonderful. It looks like an unpleasant story, but in fact it creates a spiritual and conceptual utopia for people. I like this idea very much.”
Hanks shows in this movie There is a slightly ambiguous moral attitude. Extramarital affairs and teacher-student love are all shown in the film. For this kind of moral "judgment", Hanks said: "Usually only those movies that are expensive to produce will have moral choices and set examples. And like this movie, I don't expect it to play a role. What is the role of guiding the audience. In fact, everyone will have their own angle of appreciation. No matter what kind of movie, people will always have different viewing experience. So I don’t think these contents will bother me. After all, this movie the show is a person's life situation and choice, not his choice at a certain tendency and moral. "
colleges Love
This story about sudden changes in life took place in the school. In Hanks's mind, this is not because the school is a suitable place for romantic love and comedy jokes, but because of his "academic love." Hanks said that he would like to shoot a movie on the college campus. He said: "Compared with regular universities, colleges and universities have a diverse range of students, more social and storytelling. I have always wanted to shoot a movie with the colleges and universities as the background. But I don’t want to act in the film. The role of a teacher, a principal, or a parent of a student, so I created a role for myself as a loser who was squeezed into the school by life. Before the filming started, I went to several similar schools to observe the teachers there. and students work and study status, I feel so squeezed from a retired Navy man in the middle of a group of housewives, tramp, a lot of fun. "
Hanks shaped the image of a teacher in the film, he created this character in At that time, the character actor, Julia Roberts, was fixed in his mind. Hanks said: "This song character was created in the image of Julia. Because I have several teachers and Julia is the same type of woman: smart, noble but approachable. When I was writing the script, I thought back I started with these teachers, and then I knew Julia in my heart. I said to myself, except for her, don’t want to play this role.” Julia once portrayed a classic teacher in "Smile of the Mona Lisa" Image, this time acting as a teacher again, she seems familiar, she said: "I like playing the image of a teacher very much. Because Hanks is my student in the film, I always call myself a boss on the set. Hanks is not only A good actor is a good director. He has a wealth of experience as an actor, so he knows how to direct to stimulate the potential of an actor. "Although he once played a teacher, he still played such a junior college teacher for Julia. Not a small problem. Julia said: "This is really a difficult task. When I stood on the podium for the first time and was about to go to class, I suddenly found that there were ten students sitting in such a big classroom, and everyone used their eyes. Staring at you, they seem to be thinking, what this guy will teach us. At this time, my heart began to beat suddenly. I always can't perform smoothly on such occasions. In fact, playing such a teacher is a piece of cake. It’s a horrible thing."
When talking about cooperation, the two big-name celebrities all seemed to "cherish each other." Julia said: "In the story, Hanks is very good at making jokes about himself. He is also such a lighthearted and funny person in life. A few days before the shooting, he was wearing crumpled khaki fabric. His clothes came to the scene, which amused everyone. Working with him is easy and enjoyable without too much pressure."
