Especially yearning for Montana, which is known as "Green Hollywood". In the film, the valleys are surrounded by the green grass and the streams are beautiful. In fact, looking back, Montana is only one ten thousandth of the countless magnificent natural scenery on the earth. On this lonely blue planet, there are many beautiful mountains and rivers that you will never see. In the past, people like to make rhetoric, literati and inexperienced people, and I don't know how many romantic and beautiful sceneries are passed on from word to mouth. In modern times, with cameras and cameras, especially movies, the beauty and characters are combined into one, even more so many people are envied! How many sceneries to beautify! As soon as "The Lord of the Rings" was broadcast, 1. Queenstown, with a population of 10,000, is said to have attracted more than one million travelers every year since "Lord of the Rings". After watching "Lover on the River", the little golden man who won a best photography award has become a promotional film of the beautiful scenery of Montana. Even if you look at the film carefully, it is not just an image. A prose poem! A landscape painting! It's hard to imagine how ordinary people's stories would be reborn without this beautiful natural scenery as a foil? ! Look back at the original author of "Lover on the River" Norman. McClan, it turns out this is a short story. It is said that McClan grew thin and sturdy and had a strong personality. His father was a pastor and he especially admired great poets and verses. Perhaps under the influence of his father, he has always had a deep love and respect for literature, so that he became a university teacher for a while, and rarely published academic-related articles, but he continued to work hard in literary creation. It is said that the story of "Lover on the River" is McClan's own story. Father said to young McClan: Norman, you like to write stories; Norman nodded: Yes, I like it. My father said again: Let’s write about our family’s own affairs in the future; with such encouragement, he started his own literary creation as soon as he came to Norman, but the road was extremely difficult and bumpy! Stop writing and writing, writing and tearing, something happened at home during the period. The brother who parents asked Norman to take good care of died prematurely. All this made him feel sad. All kinds of loss and shock made him feel that family in his heart. "The river of love' is getting more and more waves, more and more magnificent! Around 1980, the director Redford asked people to look for books. At that time, he didn't know that there was someone named Norman. McClan, by chance, a friend lent him a thin book of "Lover on the River", opened the title page, and listed: In my home, fishing has the same status as religion. When Norman decided to publish the filming plan of "Lover on the River" at the age of eighty, many people competed for the copyright, and Redford was also involved. Perhaps because of Norman's own introverted and cautious character, or perhaps because Norman was worried that Hollywood would harm those family members who had passed away, after being screened, he almost didn't trust anyone! At that time, Redford proposed to visit Norman at the university once or twice a week. During this period, everyone just chatted and looked for common topics until the two sides established mutual trust. Radford's sincerity, and the experience of Radford's life in the west, finally moved Norman. In fact, the novel of "Lover on the River" has only 104 pages, of which 52 pages basically describe fishing. Because Norman missed his younger brother, he weakened all his brother’s shortcomings. In the movie, it was necessary to build a complete three-dimensional and plump person. Therefore, the screenwriter visited Norman’s relatives and former residence, which filled the book. Blockbuster filler. Today, The work of screenwriter revision is really harder. In addition to the beautiful scenery mentioned above, there is another reason why I like "Lover on the River" is Peter. Peter just finished filming "The End of the Wild Flower", young and passionate, with a naive enthusiasm, completely different from the introverted and calm elder brother in the book, and Redford especially likes to work with newcomers, so that we can learn from "Dahe Love" See Peter's innocence and nature. By the way, the big river in the film is actually not in Norman's hometown, but in Yellowstone Park. At that time, the Wu River in Norman's hometown was seriously polluted. Finally, if it has nothing to do with the movie, those who like fishing are blessed! It is said that after the entire movie was shot, Peter himself became a master fisherman!
