Behind the scenes
[Unusual film road]
The film is written and directed by Bob Goldthwait, who has been promoted from a comedian to a filmmaker. It has been more than 20 years since it has gone all the way from the world of live TV shows and reality shows. However, the real reason that forced Goldsvetter to enter the film industry was that he wanted to tell an emotional story that he could truly grasp. Goldsvetter said: "Even if only one audience sees my film work in the end , I can be considered to have achieved the original goal, because an enthusiastic audience was enough to excite me for a few days without closing my eyes, so when I learned that "The World’s Greatest Father" got to participate in the Sundance Film Festival I couldn’t help trembling with excitement all over my body when I got permission...The “Stay” I filmed before also participated in the 2006 Sundance Film Festival drama competition unit. That time naturally became an unforgettable memory in my life-I think the audience at the film festival should be more inclusive and receptive, even to a point where it is a bit ridiculous. It is precisely because of such a pleasant experience, So I hope that I can continue to shoot the kind of film works we all want to see with my friends, and move outside the mainstream film industry according to my own opinions. I have always been thinking if I am lucky enough to achieve what I want. If I watch the movies we made with enthusiastic audiences, then after more than 25 years of baptism in this circle, I finally found something I really like, and I feel like I’m here to be more Happy and comfortable."
Bob Goldthwaite once said that if he can own a time shuttle, then he must go back to the 1980s and warn himself when he was only 22 years old: "Don’t shoot "Gold Medal". "Police Academy" series of films." In fact, anyone who knows Goldswetter knows that it is this series of films that laid the foundation for his performance in the comedy industry. Even now, the audience still agrees most with Ge Desvet is a little crazy and weird in front of the camera. In addition, he is also actively committed to the behind-the-scenes work of TV dramas, and finally found a real interest in film production that is worth paying for. Goldthwaite’s latest film "The World’s Greatest Father" possesses a kind of naughty wisdom. It can be regarded as an ode to the loser in that stupid life. A somewhat ironic narcissist, played by Robin Williams (Robin Williams), because of an accident, he has found his way in life again.
For Bob Goldthwaite, "The World’s Greatest Father" undoubtedly represents the second most proud and memorable perfect appearance in his memory, after After the crowd watching the movie at the S. Film Festival uttered a satisfactory admiration, they couldn't help but burst into tears. Goldthwaite admitted: "That feeling is really crazy. It has completely exceeded my expectations, especially When I realized that more than one audience liked it...Of course, I didn’t make this film for the Sundance Film Festival, but in the field of independent production, I found myself more free, Unconstrained, I can even feel the terrible connection established between the big screen and the audience-I think this is the only driving force for me to continue on the road of film. I have a reputation for myself. I am not interested in adding unnecessary auras, but I have never felt self-loathing. I am an ordinary person, and I can’t even call it a good actor. I know that I am very good at comedy performances and have the ability to make audiences. I laughed out loud, but in this industry, there are many people who are better than me... Sometimes, I took my daughter to the art school in Los Angeles to watch some famous comedy stars live performances. After seeing them, she always treated me. I said,'Dad, you are such a terrible actor.' I know that my daughter is telling the truth, so I decided to look for another career that I really love, such as making movies."
The reason why Bob Goldsvetter had such a strong interest in filmmaking was originally due to the constant rejection of his requests. Goldsvetter said: "There has always been no one at all. I was willing to hire me to make a movie. I didn’t expect this to arouse my infinite love for this industry. I spent many years constantly enriching myself, just to stop people from rejecting me one day... When I was a teenager When I was Lang, I started to perform single-player comedies on the stage of nightclubs. I learned how to create a happy atmosphere in front of people and let the audience have fun. I was only 20 years old at that time. Later, I was doing similar things all around me. For my performance friends, I gradually lost interest in this stage. Soon, I became a comedy professional, and gradually developed my own style and characteristics, I became a complete "happy fruit"-- This is also the reason why I want to take the time machine to go back in time. I want to tell the 22-year-old me not to take up the job of "Gold Medal Police Academy". In fact, sometimes, I can't help but think back, if I was Going directly to the film school to study and charge, is it a completely different situation that I am facing now? Maybe I am always in a state of ignorance about film production. It is not a bad thing. I believe there are not so many professional rules. Restricted, on the contrary, I can use my imagination more freely."
["Freak" League]
"The Greatest Father in the World" is more like a synthesis of all the difficult problems encountered in life, and then it is told in the form of a comedy. Bob Goldthwaite explained: "I think this is also Luo The reason why Bin Williams was willing to participate in making this film with me. What he saw was the highlight of the comedy and character in the story... I just want to make a movie that can really make me laugh, generally Under the circumstances, I watched Ricky Gervais' reality show would be very happy, and TV series like "Extras" and "The Office" are also very in line with my laughter. --So the audience can find a lot of similar comedy elements in "The World's Greatest Father", which are all content that I like. When I think back to the reasons for this, I suddenly understand why I like it This kind of work is because I originally belonged to the working class and grew up in a Catholic family. As far as the film is concerned, I can find a lot of resonance in the works of Woody Allen. This is in Manhattan. The old Jewish man is so wise. Although I have never been to college, I love him to shoot in the 1970s and 1980s, all of which are based on the elements and people he extracted from his own life. Comedy stories adapted from the relationship between people. I think these films may have had a more profound impact on me."
From "Don't Make Trouble" to "The World's Greatest Father", Bob Goldthwaite's attention They are all characters who have escaped from the mainstream culture. He seems to have an extraordinary interest in these "freaks" and the losers in life. Goldsvetter said: "Basically, my works are Focusing on some "outsiders", the only thing I care about is the fate of these losers who have no hope of winning, and every time I see a movie story surrounding similar "freaks", I can't help but start. Crazy...These characters are all shown in the film through a very stylish description, because without exception, they all want to be important, but they can't find the right way--but the most important thing here is. The most incredible thing is that the original anti-traditional culture has long ceased to be popular."
In general, "The World's Greatest Father" is not the kind of comedy that makes people feel like a spring breeze. Sometimes it even feels a little bit painful, including some debilitating decadence, but Bob. Goldthwaite’s original intention of making this film was not to make the audience feel sad. He said: “I still remember one day when I was sitting there with nothing to do, and then suddenly there was creative inspiration. At that time, my thoughts were, 'This is probably the most shocking movie concept.' But generally speaking, the films I make have a complete development process, at least the treatment of the ending should be the first clear, and then move on. By analogy... it feels like Robin Williams’ character Lance said in the film, “I’m not going to have anything to do with people who are unkind to me.”"
Bob Gold Sweete decides that his future development is still in the field of independent production. He hopes that he can have an eclectic free space. Goldthwaite continued: "Anyway, there are'freaks' for mining. ……Although I don’t even know whether there is an audience for this type of film, when I first entered the industry, I didn’t put my mind on the so-called market prospects. I only made things that I really wanted to shoot- -So for me, the things I need to worry about have not happened yet."
The reason why I chose to make such a "small" independent film was not because of budgetary considerations. Bob Goldthwaite admitted: "Of course I have had some more "expensive" film ideas, but I The concept of these stories has not yet formed a complete structure, and I don’t want to make it purely for production, or even compromise in some places, but this does not mean that I don’t know what cooperation is... and I am really I don’t want to go through the cumbersome procedures of a film company, which can only completely curb my storytelling space. For example, in my last film "Do Not Disturb Right and Wrong", there is a character prototype in my real life brother. I don’t want to let others gesticulate and tell me what my brother should look like in the film. Including this "The World’s Greatest Father", I never despise any appearance on the screen. I care about every character here. Maybe some of them make me feel less crazy, but it doesn’t mean that I will leave it alone, because every character has its own meaning. Whenever I’m in When creating a film, you will think of Preston Sturges. You must know that his films are a bit like fables, all of which are driven by the characters in the content. Yes, it seems very realistic, and then he will add some comedic material in it-in this respect, I adopt a story expression method very similar to Sturges, to bring it out. The funny part inside."
