This movie is far simpler than Memento, but the aftertaste after watching it is much more real than Memento!


When I saw the part of CHRIS coming home, I had the desire to cry! It was really good!
The following is The editor's introduction I saw before watching the film! Behind the


scenes:
[About the director]
Written and directed by Scott Frank, the film is a creative and moving new venture in the film industry, and its scope is delineated in the realm of crime thrillers. But this captivating, captivating story doesn't just revolve around crime, but also alternates the point of a sad, disappointed, but always happy hero, Chris Pratt. Bit by bit... Scott Frank, who is not well-known in the director industry, is actually a well-known screenwriter. His favorite type of movie is thriller stories, and most of the scripts he has handled before are also in this regard. theme. Aside from the thriller, he's more drawn to great characters worthy of being cast -- but that's not just Frank's hobby, and any screenwriter would be very excited about it.
Scott Frank first proved his ability to tell stories and drive characters in 1991 with the imaginative and romantic "Dead Again" - directed by Kenny Kenneth Branagh; and the ensuing Little Man Tate, about an incomprehensible genius child, is directed by actor Jodie Foster of. However, what really made Frank famous in the screenwriting world was not an original story, but his adaptation of two novels by crime novelist Elmore Leonard, one of which is "Short Man" (Get Shorty), the other is the clever crime comedy Out of Sight, which centers on a quirky love affair between a loafing criminal and a female federal agent, Directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez... This film earned Frank an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
As for the "Be Careful" mentioned here, it summarizes some of the most unconventional and attractive characters in Scott Frank's writing career. This time, he focused his attention on the small town. In crime, the style is bold and innovative. The male lead he focuses on is a character that all screenwriters shy away from—the memory-impaired gatekeeper Chris, who doesn’t care about all the things people fight for, like love, money, and a meaningful future. Interest is a character who is calm, and sees depth in plainness. Chris is certainly not one of those characters that would appear in a heist movie, but that's what piqued Frank's interest: "I'm a big fan of the kind of European thriller that's both dark and humorous, because there's always the focus on The kind of people that the audience will really care about. It’s the kind of horror and suspense that you’re putting into these characters because you’re emotionally invested—that’s the type of script I’ve always wanted to write.”


[About the story]
The inspiration for the film comes entirely from two things that Scott Frank once experienced: "I know a man who had a head injury and left a lifelong sequelae: waking up every morning, He would forget what happened the day before - which was a bit of a horror in itself. At the same time, I read a lot of introductory articles about Midwest Banks, where they store at least once or twice a year The cash sent by the USDA, that is to say, there are one or two special nights every year, when there are usually millions of dollars in the bank that usually has no money... Putting these two stories together, it is Became the prototype of the script of Be Careful, which is simply summed up as a different person in a different situation."
Scott Frank did his best to keep the "Be Careful" story out of the Beyond reality and fantasy, at first, he idolized the protagonist Chris Pratt as a talented young athlete who lived a "perfect life" until he was in a car accident and his head was broken... Frank gave What was given to Chris was something quirky with an element of truth: a short-term memory loss that forced him to record some information in a notebook he carried with him; a lack of verbal control over his emotions made him always speak out hurtful words, and he That's not what it was meant to be; a lack of physical coordination often turns something as simple as opening a tin into a war.
Seeing this, I believe you understand why Chris is so dependent on the bright mind of his current roommate Lewis... Lewis is another unforgettable character created by Scott Frank, he is a blind man who speaks Mean, lacking a sense of humor, but he really did his best to bring Chris out of the darkest times in his life. Frank said: "There is the most authentic emotional interaction between these characters, and I hope the suspense in the story can be based on emotion.
" Carefully framed the story for the script, then he brought in producer Walter Parkes, and it took more than 10 years to finally bring it to the big screen. Frank recalls the help Parks gave him: "Without Walter Parks, I believe this story would never have come to light, and he was the key to the whole process. In order to do some useful investigative work for the script, he even dedicated Take me on a trip to Kansas." And Parks said: "I first knew that Scott Frank had an interest in making a story like this, almost in the late 1980s, when Frank had just finished The Splendid Childhood. "The script of "Be Careful" was immediately put into the writing work of "Be Careful"... I didn't expect Frank to spend more than ten years on it, but I can feel that he has been carefully considering and revising it. This What appeals to me most about the story is its mix of genres. First, it's a tense crime thriller; second, it's a purely character-driven drama. A genius The fact that an athlete loses everything he ever had in an instant is a story point to watch in itself."
At the same time, Walter Parks also expressed his interest in how to combine the script with insight into the inner workings of the human brain: "The protagonist of the story, Chris Pratt, cannot even live in the most ordinary life. How do the people who deal with them prove that they have the ability to master those completely unexpected situations and save their own lives by the way?" Although Parks knew that the script through the hands of Scott Frank was almost all about some kind of discussion. Unpredictable emergencies, but the story of what happened to Chris is still unique, and he was fascinated by it: "Although the script has been placed for many years, there is no doubt that 'Be Careful' is unfilmed in Hollywood. One of the greatest screenplays ever made into a movie. Because Frank gave the story a unique character, I decided to let him direct the film." A bold script with an unconventional male lead is not a money-oriented Hollywood. Favorite flavors, and the screenwriter-turned-director complicates the script's journey to the big screen... Fortunately, at this time, Spyglass Entertainment reached out in time, and with its help, this passed The long-awaited story has finally been made into a movie. Most importantly, Telescope Entertainment and Walter Parks had the same idea - Frank was the perfect choice to direct the film, and even if he lacked experience working behind the camera, no one knew the whole story better than him. The ins and outs, as well as the grasp of the style of the film itself.



I just read the opening paragraph and thought it was nothing! But the appeal in plainness is not only sublimation~ (I like to use the word sublimation recently~ Don’t mind!)

    Every young guy with mental troubles can always meet an uncle who is navigating his life. This routine is so familiar. 囧Joseph is so tender, and Jeff is also good at playing the blind man. "I'm not as good as I used to be, but I'm still okay." This kind of thing is really healing.
