The short section at the beginning of the film mainly shows Tom Cruise acting cool and watching how he picks up girls.
Then Michelle Pfeiffer appears. She is the first-generation blonde sweetheart in Hollywood. Needless to say, the two of them are in the same frame and it is a joy to watch. The rhythm of the opening chapter is also very brisk.
Follow up to reveal the condition.
"She was in a car accident and suffered from a form of short-term memory loss. When the sun rose the next day, she would forget everything about the previous day."
"How long has she been like this?"
"100 days!"
The heroine's father spread his hands and said helplessly: "I have celebrated my 60th birthday 100 times."
The heroine's car accident happened to be her father's birthday, so her memory will always stay on that day. She does the same thing every day: going to a cafe in the morning, buying gifts at noon, and going home in the afternoon to secretly paint the garage wall into a pattern that her father likes.
, I made a cake for my father in the evening to celebrate his birthday.
Finally, the whole family watched the videotape of "Ghostbusters" - this film was produced by Columbia.
And the family members are doing the same thing: putting up old newspapers and calendars every day, and secretly painting the walls back late at night so that the heroine can paint them again. The father should act like a surprise to receive gifts, eat cakes, and watch what he has already seen.
Video tape played 100 times...
The male protagonist is determined to help the female protagonist and begins to create different encounter scenes every day, even pretending to be kidnapped.
Tom Cruise is the Hollywood version of Andy Lau. He has never done anything else in his life but to look cool, but that will come later.
He is still young now. For most actors, when they are young, they are often the most relaxed. When they become a big star, they cannot let go - except for Liang Jiahui.
So now Tom Cruise has no baggage and is rolling around on the ground, yelling.
"Hahaha!"
"Ha ha!"
There was cheerful laughter in the theater, obviously not rejecting these routines from later generations.
In daily contact, the male protagonist discovered the girl's colorful side and fell in love with her unconsciously. He believed that her family's attitude was very negative and he should take her for active treatment.
During this period, there were some routines involving joys and sorrows, crying and laughing.
Final scene:
When Michelle Pfeiffer woke up from her sleep, she first saw a strange videotape, which recorded every day of their love, and they got married in the presence of family and friends...
She opened the curtains and saw the blue sea and sky outside, and she was actually on a ship - the male protagonist's dream was to go to sea. And she boarded the deck and found that all her relatives were here, and she also had a well-behaved and lovely daughter.
"OH!"
This scene pierced the heart and lungs, and the audience, especially the female audience, were all moved.
When the video ended, the audience burst into applause, which lasted for a long time.
Tom Cruise and Michelle Pfeiffer looked at each other and were both surprised. "Fifty First Dates" is a small film, just a routine, and they didn't think it would achieve much. It seems that the response from the audience is very good.

"Since entering the post-Hollywood era, directors no longer make romantic movies. I once thought that we would lose love in movies, leaving only Rambo, 007, ET and Indiana Jones. Fortunately, "First Love Five"
"Ten Times" shows all the qualities a romance film should have!"
"A very cute fairy tale movie. The setting is very innovative and the details are meticulous and thoughtful. It doesn't feel rigid and has a smooth and pleasant viewing experience."
"The poor girl was trapped in the reincarnation of a certain day, but with the company of her lover and family, she got out of this day and her life could continue - this is what touched me the most, although I can't imagine her...
How did you give birth to a child?"
"I noticed that the screenwriter of this film is the amazing Chinese who won an Oscar for "Life is Beautiful". He came up with a commercial film based on the standard Hollywood template, which surprised me.
But it’s a pity, I think “Fifty First Dates” is full of absurdity and whimsy, so I give it two stars this time!”
Of course this guy is Roger Ebert.
"Fifty First Dates" had a small budget, insufficient publicity, and low attendance at the premiere. However, it still attracted many viewers due to its good reputation from the media and film critics, as well as the two-choice situation at this time.
"Honey, shall we go see "Cocoon"?"
"I don't want to see a few old men being taken away by aliens! I heard that "Fifty First Dates" is great."
"Okay, okay, let's go see this."
"Wow, the heroine in it is so beautiful!"
From "Roman Holiday" to "Pretty Woman," such light comedies and romances will never lack audiences in any era.
The future generations are different. What are they playing with "Fifty Shades of Grey"? It's a good thing that this movie was made before LGBT, otherwise it would have become a battle between trans people and trans people.
…
Check out the correct version one by one!
When "Fifty First Dates" was released for one week and easily reached a box office of 28 million, with the final target expected to be between 60 million and 70 million, Colombia's celebration party was held again.
Price couldn't close his mouth with laughter and said: "20th Century Fox has the earliest contact with the Chinese and has the deepest relationship. They were not willing to buy a story and gave it to us for nothing!"
"They were acquired by Rupert Murdoch, and the internal personnel adjustments have made a mess, so they may not have time to take care of it."
"Actually, I didn't expect this movie to have such success!"
Price told the truth, with the current size of the U.S. market, 60 million to 70 million would be enough to break into the top ten. And their previous estimate was that "Fifty First Dates" could reach 40 million, which would be great.
"We should thank that Mr. Chen!"
"Of course, of course, it's best to ask him to write a new story!"
The quality of "Cocoon" is also very good. This film is cloaked in the guise of science fiction, but it actually discusses the issue of aging in American society. Compared with this subject, the audience still wants to watch a simpler film that is light-hearted and touching.
But there wasn’t much time left for these two films, and in the blink of an eye it was early July.
"Back to the Future" is released.
It topped the box office list for 11 weeks, with a final North American box office of over 200 million and a global box office of over 300 million, ranking first in the year.
However, "Fifty First Dates" reduced the number of screenings and continued to exploit every opportunity to make money. The box office exceeded 50 million in the 16 days after its release. Various companies could not sit still.
Chen Qi won an Oscar, but he has never proven himself in the field of Hollywood commercial films. Now that his results have come out, naturally he can't just watch.
Especially at 20th Century Fox, the relevant personnel were scolded bloody. In fact, it was quite unfair. The company was acquired by Rupert Murdoch. How could anyone have the time to deal with a Chinese filmmaker?
"I have contacted him. He is not in Hong Kong and has returned to mainland China!"
"Then go find it, idiot! We were his earliest partners, and Colombia actually took the lead!"
