Claire wasn't quite up to the job, but things get complicated when she meets Ari (Patrick Wilson), one of the surviving travelers, who refuses to accept her Instead, she used the crash as an excuse to break the rules and pursue her publicly.
Claire desperately tried to keep her distance from Ari and to keep the therapist and patient separated. However, the more she went into counseling the survivors' inner wounds, the more she found that they recalled the process of the plane crash, but each of them had different feelings. Ins and outs - their statements are very different from the official airline's statement.
What is even more puzzling is that after the surviving passengers slowly recovered their memories of the plane crash, they disappeared mysteriously one by one. Claire suspects that the airline is the mastermind behind the scenes. She is determined to find out the truth and go deeper. Exploring this conspiracy, and the relationship between her and Ai Rui deepens, will soon have a twist of fate. For screenwriter Ronnick Christensen,
"About the Making" was inspired by his fear of parenting, when his first child was about to be born, and he wrote this fear as
A plane crash, and a love story stems from it, so love becomes the only continual main axis of the story.
After the script caught the attention of the three producers, they started looking for a director. One of the producers, Seliger, had just watched Rodrigo's "Lonely City" and decided that he was the best director candidate, so he began to actively strive for it, using the constant phone calls every day to look at the hut, forcing the agent to put The script was shown to Rodrigo, and Rodrigo fell in love with the script. He thought the story was very strong and emotional, and it combined various elements of love story, thriller and conspiracy, and it was very well balanced.
The script was in the hands of Anne Hathaway. She was very satisfied with the role of "Claire" and wanted to cooperate with Rodrigo Garcia, so she agreed after much consideration. Then they found several other wanted actors, including Patrick Wilson, Diane West, Clia Duva, David Moss and Ann Rebra.
After the casting, the crew and actors came to Vancouver, Canada to start filming. It happened to be a cold and rainy winter. They came to the north to shoot for economic reasons, but the gloomy atmosphere of the film was created even better. The director of photography said, "Although the weather made everyone panic, but I think the weather has a plus effect on the film." In addition, the production design also showed the city very well, not even calling it Vancouver, And named it "Paradise Vancouver", using cool colors of sea green and blue to create a terrifying atmosphere.
This film is expected to be shot within 40 days, so the entire itinerary should be very compact, almost non-stop rushing to shoot, but no matter which link is closely linked, the shooting process is very smooth. However, there are two special effects scenes in the film that are the most difficult, the chaos of the crash and the disappearance of Airy between the passing trains.
The scene of the crash was a combination of live-action footage and computer-animated special effects from the moment the plane exploded high in the sky and hit the beach. The fuselage of the Boeing 737 was simulated in the studio, then shot from all angles on a green screen, and then computer animation was used to create the desired effect.
What the director wanted was to recreate the emotional ups and downs of the passengers on the plane within two minutes of the rapid fall from the sky? What he wants is realism, not artificiality. In addition to being frightened and traumatized, the passengers on the plane are facing the end of their lives, and the change of mood is the most important thing, not just using special effects to end the crash. As a result, the scene of the crash was very thrilling. Nearby neighbors saw the wreckage, heard the explosion, and called the police. It was not until the crew came forward to explain that they were just filming a movie, and the false alarm ended.
Another big test for the production team was the scene where Ari disappears in a staggered train. Ai Rui stood between two trains running in opposite directions at high speed. The actual shooting was too dangerous, and there were also technical difficulties, so he had to use a digital train to shoot with a green screen in the studio, and finally use Computer with special effects.
However, everyone agreed that the film's unexpected ending was the one that captured the audience's heart the most, not just shocking, but also beyond the audience's expectations, as if someone had been punched Yes, I suddenly realize that this is a greater love story than you imagined. At first glance, it looks like a suspenseful thriller, but when I look back at it at the end, I feel like I've "seen a poignant love story."
