Chapter 453 Black Slaughter
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
Entering the screening hall, Jonah Hill got out of nowhere, followed Murphy and walked towards the front row. Jonah Hill kept looking at the back as he walked, as if something particularly attracted him.
"That girl is pretty," he said suddenly.
Murphy just nodded to a greeting person, but didn't understand what Jonah Hill meant for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Who? Who is good?"
"Julia Roberts' niece." Jonah Hill reminded quickly, "just the girl who stuffed you a note just now."
The theater can accommodate more than 2,000 people and is quite large in size. Murphy is still a distance from his seat, so he said a few words to Jonah Hill.
"You talk about her." Murphy didn't take Emma Roberts's affairs at all. After Jonah Hill's reminder, he remembered that he had a note in his hand. He didn't even look at it, so he directly sent it to Jonah Hill, "You can do this for you."
Jonah Hill immediately opened his mouth and said with a smile, "When Gail comes back, I will definitely say more good things for you in front of her."
Murphy shook his head, and was about to give him a middle finger. When he remembered the current occasion, he took back his hand that was about to be raised and said, "Joe, don't use my banner, otherwise I will kick your ass."
"Am I that kind of person?" Jonah Hill first defended himself, then came over and said mysteriously, "Do you think Emma Roberts is really Julia Roberts' illegitimate daughter?"
"You'd better ask Donny about this kind of thing." How did Murphy know the truth or falsehood? "He has the most gossip about this."
After saying that, Murphy walked towards the row where the crew was, no longer caring about Jonah Hill.
Having said that, everyone has a gossip. Jonah Hill's question also aroused Murphy's curiosity. He also wanted to know if Emma Roberts was Julia Roberts' illegitimate daughter?
He didn't have to ask, if Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill got the exact news, the rest of the Stanton party would soon know.
Although this rumor is not very reliable, the voice of Emma Roberts being Julia Roberts's illegitimate daughter has never disappeared in the Hollywood circle over the years. Perhaps only Julia Roberts and her brother can explain this problem clearly.
Soon, Murphy let go of these thoughts and waited for the movie to begin.
In addition to the premiere at the Lincoln Center for Art, Twentieth Century Fox also finalized three thousand early games for "Inglorious Bastards" in North America.
This is very different from other films that want to make a difference in awards season. Most films targeting awards season will not have such a large-scale premiere.
A typical awards season screening mode is to first show in less than ten theaters, attracting only fans of such films as much as possible. These people will naturally have one or several levels of evaluation of the type of film they like, which is very easy to create a good reputation.
In the following period, this kind of film will not blindly expand the scale of screenings, but will strive to create a reputation effect. When the reputation ferments ferment to a certain level, then appropriately expand the scale of screenings and continue to attract audiences who roughly like this type of film in order to maintain reputation evaluation.
Accumulate reputation and limit the scale of screenings, everything is aimed at creating a good reputation...
It is undeniable that the reputation of a film is one of the key factors that impact the awards season.
The benefits of previews and small-scale screenings for word-of-mouth marketing are self-evident. When most passers-by are excluded, the number of people who see the film is limited, and most of the viewers are enthusiasts of this type or supporters of directors and actors, the word-of-mouth performance will naturally improve.
On the contrary, if a film is released on a super large scale, it attracts a large number of audiences, and its reputation will become difficult to control.
This is also an important reason why even if the summer commercial films are excellent, the ratings are often lower than that of some more ordinary art films. The former has too many viewers, several times or even more than ten times the latter.
When the quality of the film is not too bad, reputation can also be created through marketing. For example, the former battle for the top 250 rankings of the IDC score list of "Dark Knight" and "Shawshank Redemption". No one can tell whether there is a driving force behind it. Anyway, Warner Brothers' DVD, TV broadcasting rights and online paid on-demand sales are very enjoyable.
At 7:30 p.m. ET, "Inglorious Bastard" opened the screening on time.
After the opening of 20th Century Fox and Weinstein Pictures flashed quickly, a close-up of James Franco's face appeared on the screen, and then the camera gradually drifted away. In the background of the airport, Lieutenant Aldo Reiner, played by him, gave a small team of people, and Murphy introduced the background of this role in the simplest way.
The assholes then boarded the plane, a plane took off, and then they were airdropped to France, and began a long sabotage and killing campaign behind enemy lines.
Compared to the unruly style of Quentin-Talentino's chapter, Murphy's technique used outside of the black style is more traditional, and he adopts a multi-line narrative approach.
In order to allow more viewers to sit in the theater with interest after watching the opening, instead of being defeated by a chatterbox scene, Murphy also joined a battle scene after the bastard team entered France. The battle not only used black, killing and blood to attract audiences, but also to shape the characters, especially the bat killer.
This is a fast raid battle, with a rapid and bloody battle. The bastard team ruthlessly killed the Nazi army. The flying blood and the exploded head almost reached the limit of R-level films, and also made the adult audience who could enter the theater intoxicated and exclaimed.
The action scenes represented by "fist" and the passion scenes represented by "pillow" are always the most powerful weapons for the movie to attract audiences.
After the battle, the bastard team treated the enemy without any mercy, even the dead body had to cut off their scalp. The super headshot of the bat killer was even a feast of killing.
Lieutenant Aldo Reiner's sculpture art also aroused a lot of praise.
It is completely different from Spielberg's "Save the Soldier Ryan" reflecting on the war and Quentin's laughter and scolding, Murphy did not give any reflection to the battle scene, it was a feast of Nazi slaughtering!
He never worried that this would cause strong controversy. Anti-Nazis are one of the most basic political correctives in the entire Western world in decades. There are people or movies who whitewash the Nazis, but they never get on the table.
After the rich black killing, the color of the film is slightly brighter, and the narrative naturally transforms to the side of Colonel Hans Landa and the farmer. Apart from the lines, there is no Quentin-like long-windedness, it is a little concise. The plot here Murphy did not make too many changes. The farmer completely collapsed before Hans Landa's clever means, and the Jewish family hidden under the floor was ruthlessly massacred, and only their daughter escaped.
The war entered the end, and the Allies began to counterattack. The bastard team also gained great fame in the past few years, and even reached Hitler's ears.
Hitler is still a clown-like image in the film, and Murphy is certainly not stupid enough to give the Nazi leader any respect in the film.
Compassion and inclination to Hitler's position is undoubtedly a way to seek death.
The whole film is divided into two main lines, one is the bastard team, and the other is naturally Soshana who escaped.
In fact, there is no direct contact between the two lines from beginning to end of the film, but there is a lot of indirect contact between these two lines. The first is that both sides are Jews, and the protagonist of the whole story is also Jews. The killing of the German army all comes from revenge for the German killing of Jews. The second is that a very important character in the movie, Colonel Hanslanda, is a famous detective of the SS. The development of both main lines is closely related to him. The third is that the common goal of both sides creates fires or big explosions in the cinema and kills all the German Nazis in the cinema.
The British also participated in this operation. They sent a former film critic officer to France, but it turned out that this person was just a verbal gun after all. He said that the safety of the underground taverns would not be noticed by the German army, and the result was full of Nazis. He took the initiative to deal with the Nazis, but in the end he had no substantive skills except for the verbal gun, and finally he used a gesture to expose his identity, resulting in a fire and an outbreak...
Michael Fassbender's role is definitely the most unreliable in the entire film.
Afterwards, the two lines of the film gradually came together and prepared to carry out a shocking assassination of the senior executives led by Hitler.
Murphy also made a lot of changes, such as Soshana's employee and boyfriend are no longer a black man, Hitler and the theater have added guards, making the assassination more difficult, etc.
Of course, the ending of killing Hitler will not change, and in order to create a more outstanding perspective effect, the final shot will be accompanied by countless blood gushing.
What is indispensable is the whip of Hitler. After killing Hitler, Murphy used a close-up shot to instruct Jewish warriors to shoot at Hitler's body twice in a row until he beat Adolf Hitler into a ball of rotten meat.
If it weren't for the sake of grading, Murphy would have made this shot more violent and bloody, which is also one of the most climaxes of the audience in the whole film.
Blood and Revenge are Murphy's prominent film themes. Since this film is about to hit the awards season, why not kill Hitler and the Nazis more ruthlessly?
Killing Hitler is a dream for many people. Although this real bastard died exactly more than 60 years ago, being able to solve him with his own hands is still something that many dreamers like to fantasize, because that is indeed a feat.
Chapter completed!
