For Americans, this name couldn't be more familiar: the screenwriting of "Roman Holiday" alone is already significant. However, for most Chinese, it is not difficult to know the Roman Holiday, even more not to know Hepburn, it is difficult to know William Wheeler, and it is even more difficult to know Trumbeau.
Because he didn't even accept the award under his real name. As a communist (Communists), he was blacklisted in the United States during the Cold War, and only B-level film companies dared to use him. Later, the famous name was gradually written under a pseudonym, and the name Trombeau was finally recognized by the Oscar, and the Oscar for "Roman Holiday" was reissued.
The storyline is probably like this. In fact, it can be even simpler: a communist is blacklisted, but if it is written too well, the blacklist will exist in name only.
If this story is not a true story, I am afraid that the average audience in the theater will have to fall asleep. The remaining half of the audience saw Bryan Cranston (commonly known as "Lao Bai" by Chinese movie fans) wearing a round hat, and the string music would be awakened by the memory of "Breaking Bad".
Now that it comes to this, let's talk about Lao Bai's acting skills first.
Lao Bai is a good actor, but he is not an acting school.
He is every man's favorite man: he looks weak, aging, and slow, but as long as his eyes shrink slightly, you can see his toughness. Chinese men especially like this kind of toughness. Our culture doesn't like muscles, bickering, and performance. What we want is "Wenjiu cuts Huaxiong", not to mention how brave Guan Yu is, only the kung fu of this wine.
Lao Bai is such a man of Eastern philosophy, so the role he can play must also be someone who can see the world in such details.
However, Trumb was not such a person. He is a genius.
Unlike Lao Bai in "Breaking Bad", although he is also extremely talented in chemistry, in any other respect, he is a middle-aged man that you will dislike, and his belly is better than the man who drinks by the Xiangjiang River. It's still big.
All in all, Lao Bai is not charming enough to play him.
You can't feel a genius who walks on the edge of the blacklist and can win an Oscar.
You only feel another mortal who rebounds under the pressure. But then again, Lao Bai is as brilliant as ever in acting as a mortal.
The issue of communism is now very clichéd.
Our journalism and law professor asked:
"If you want to describe a person, which word was slander in the 1960s and not now? Which one was not slander in the 1980s and is now? Which one was slander at the beginning of this century but not recently "
In the 1960s, you said that a person was a communist (note that it is not the Communist Party, you don't need to join the party, you can't get involved), you can sue him for slandering you. Because if you don't tell, the consequences will be the same as Trombeau in the movie, the swimming pool is full of dead bodies.
As for the 1980s, you said that a person is a nigger, and black people have no right to sue you. Now I am afraid I can't even think about it.
As for the recent past, the term is homosexuality, a neutral term with no pre-positioned position.
Therefore, when watching "Trombo", many viewers may feel that they have no sense of substitution, especially the Chinese, they may find it weird. After all, we have 300 million party members and say that the Communist Party is going to jail. .
But for Americans, this is too normal. The American sitting behind me, every baggage of the movie, Stalin's and Ho Chi Minh's, he giggled.
Tell a story to let everyone feel what Americans think of communists.
In our class, we talked about business reports and talked about the positive effects of Chinese companies’ investments in the United States on the American economy, including hiring local Americans, introducing skilled immigrants, and revitalizing the real estate industry.
At this time, an American female classmate said to me: You can report whether these people are the Communist Party.
I was stunned, and I asked her: What does the Communist Party or the Communist Party have to do with multinational investment?
She was also stunned and added: I have no other intentions. I just think it's weird for the Communists to invest in the United States.
I froze for a while, and then questioned: I have no other meaning, in California, the home base of the Democratic Party, will a Republican businessman be caught and reported by reporters?
She froze for one last time, and said grimly: It's not interesting anymore.
I almost got up to the crime and asked her what she meant by saying that it was boring. Of course, we just stopped thinking about it later, it's really meaningless.
Speaking of which, this movie also tells us that the film industry has always been closely related to politics, but more importantly, when money and politics are lying on the bed and chatting about film workers, money still looks awkward.
So when the spring of the Chinese film industry will come, it depends on when money will open up.
Allow more foreign capital to enter, allow more hot money to flow in, and even allow more rotten films and B-level films to fill the market. So quickly, the poor and innocent Tang Weis don't need an anonymous talent, and they can treat the blacklist as nothing.
Of course, this is not what the movie wants to tell us, this is just a complaint under the communist environment.
Doctrine is never important. The important thing is that like in movies, no matter how many cigarettes a film worker smokes, no matter how turbid the water in the bathtub is, no matter how much outsiders look down on them-
they can't lose the heart of literature and art.
