3. Jenny Slater and Octavia Spencer have voiced the characters in "ZooCity" together.

Note: Jenny Slater is the voice of Bellwether in "ZooCity".

Octavia Spencer voices Mrs. Otterton in "Zoo City".

4. The film was mainly shot on Bull Street in Savannah.

Note: Savannah is a port and tourist city on the Atlantic coast of Georgia, USA. A very beautiful city (my classmate told me).

5. "Girl Genius" was nominated for the 2014 Hollywood Blacklist, and the screenwriter was Tom Flynn. In March 2015, at the Montalban Theatre in Hollywood, the 2014 blacklist of Hollywood scripts was announced.

Note: Screenplay blacklist is a screenplay blacklist" is a list selected by hundreds of senior Hollywood practitioners, covering the most popular but not yet filmed outstanding plays in the eyes of the judges.

6. After the filming was almost over, Chris Evans began to be with Jenny Slater, and the two broke up a year later.

Regarding the feelings and problems in this translation:

Feeling: The fifth article has been translated for a long time, because I don’t know what the "Black list" means about the script, and I only learned it through Wikipedia.

Question: Regarding translation, the last tidbit, the original English text is:

After filming head ended, Chris Evans and Jenny Slate began a relationship and broke up almost a year later.

What does the filming head mean? People who know, please say it.

What I understand is the main part of the film, because head means head, so the extended meaning should have the main meaning. So I translated it into "After the filming is almost over".

I translated from IMDB. Original English address http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4481414/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv

    I really like the first twenty minutes, the sweet child, the quiet cat, the transparent sunshine, the clean beach, everything is carefree and beautiful

Gifted quotes

  • Frank Adler: Miss Davis, if we separate our leaders - if we segregate them from people like you and me - you get "congressmen." So I'm sorry. I wish I can take your offer, but Mary stays. Unless you kick her out.

    Gloria Davis: This is a mistake. We'll never be able to raise this child to the level of scholarship she deserves.

    Frank Adler: Well...

    [sarcastically]

    Frank Adler: just dumb her down to a decent human being. Everybody wins.

  • Mary Adler: Is there a God?

    Frank Adler: I don't know.

    Mary Adler: Just tell me.

    Frank Adler: I would if I could. But I don't know. Neither does anybody else.

    Mary Adler: Roberta knows.

    Frank Adler: No. Roberta has faith... And that's the great thing to have. But faith's about what you think, feel. Not what you know.

    Mary Adler: What about Jesus?

    Frank Adler: Love that guy. Do what he says.

    Mary Adler: But, is he God?

    Frank Adler: I don't know. I have an opinion. But that's my opinion and I could be wrong. So why would I screw up yours? Use your head. But don't be afraid to believe in things either.

    Mary Adler: Huh. There was a guy on TV who said there was *no* God.

    Frank Adler: The only difference between the atheists on TV and Roberta is, Roberta loves you. She trying to help. Tell you what though. One way or another we all end up back together in the end. That's what you're asking, right?

    Mary Adler: Yep.

    Frank Adler: Okay. Find something else to worry about, will ya?

    Mary Adler: All right.
