Chapter 186
Orange, Los Angeles, Garden Glo [-]-star theater.
Nick, who had grabbed a good spot at zero o'clock, bought popcorn and Coke, and walked into the screening room side by side with his little girlfriend Emily.
"There are so many couples today." Emily whispered, "And they are all young people."
"Oh, of course, after all we don't really want to see "The Electronic Love Letter" or "Shakespeare in Love", right?" Nick walked ahead, "Excuse me, man! Um, we don't mean you guys when we say couples .”
Glancing at a pair of nerds standing in the best viewing area, Nick took his girlfriend's hand and quickened his pace.
Hess, who was secretly labeled as one of the "nerds" by him, raised his glasses and said in a spoken language with a strong Spanish accent: "I said it earlier, we shouldn't rush to watch this movie at the premiere. Movies, Star Trek: Uprising should be on the first day of the new year."
Despite saying so, Hesis's body is very honest, his buttocks are sitting firmly, and he has no intention of leaving the screening room at all.
His companion, Brady, fixed a newly hot Afro, first subconsciously watched another couple enter the field in the first few rows, and then said: "Hesis! God! This is the ninth couple I saw , Are we about to be surrounded?"
"Be quiet, guys, as long as they don't kiss in front of us, it's none of our business." Gavin, the last member of the trio, said, "Don't forget whose movie this is, how can the movie poster compare to the feature film? Is it more exciting?"
Compared to Hayss and Brady, Gavin looks like the cool trendy young man in leather jackets and ripped jeans, with Brad Pitt's hairstyle - but in fact, he is Jolie A top student at the Asia Conservatory of Music, he is still studying the piano major which sounds very advanced.
It stands to reason that such three people should be very out of place when they sit together, but they are indeed good friends who grew up together since they were young, but they went their separate ways after leaving high school.
The movie poster mentioned by Gavin was a gift given by the distributor Sony Columbia for the online warm-up event for "The Perfect Victim". Brady was lucky enough to get one and put it on the wall of his bedroom.
The beautiful and slender blonde looked back lightly, leaving only a silhouette in the gray-toned poster. The rose petals blown by the wind made the overall atmosphere romantic and poignant, and it was so charming that she would never get tired of watching it three hundred times a day. .
It can be said that the trailer about "The Perfect Victim" has attracted a lot of attention before its release, and the appearance of the heroine Josie Horton in the promotional photo has captured the hearts of countless movie fans.
The distribution department of Sony Columbia is very confident in the box office of this film, but it has temporarily kept a wait-and-see attitude towards its prospect of entering the Olympic Games. Just set my sights on this movie.
The film opens with the music of a choir.
The young heroine played by Evan Rachel Wood was sent to an orphanage by the young policeman in charge of the case after her parents had an accident, and officially became a homeless orphan.
The children in the orphanage were full of curiosity about this clean and cute little girl. Only the boy who was her age in the corner seemed indifferent. It wasn't until one day when a couple came to visit these children that the boy took the initiative to approach the girl for the first time. —he tore the bow from her braid.
Then, he was pushed down on the floor by the little girl with a ferocity that did not match his appearance and beat him up.
The two have been at odds ever since.
As soon as the camera turns, the little policeman has become a middle-aged police detective who is down and out. He is going to visit his daughter at his ex-wife's house, but he turns his car around after receiving a call and chooses to rush to the murder scene.
The deceased male, 59 years old, Caucasian, was a lawyer before retirement, was stabbed to death while fishing on the pier, for various reasons, the body was not found until the third person reported the case in the morning.
Detective Bentley decided to investigate the dead man's circle of friends, so he went to the city's university to meet the lawyer's friend, a professor of music.
When I found the professor, he was directing the school's orchestra to prepare for the next charity performance. After talking, Bentley learned that the professor hadn't contacted the lawyer for a long time. The last time they met because of some differences of opinion Parted unhappy.
Bentley asked again, but the professor avoided answering. Therefore, the detective had some doubts about the professor, and kept all this in his heart for the time being, and continued to investigate the situation of other people.
However, before Bentley's investigation was clear, news came from the bureau: the professor committed suicide.
As the mystery got bigger and bigger, Bentley had to go to the university again at the request of his boss, trying to find some clues from the professor's recent life. Iris, the professor's favorite student before his death, came into the police detective's sight.
When meeting for the first time, this young and beautiful woman did not receive any preferential treatment from Bentley because of her unique charm-on the contrary, he regarded her as one of the suspects.
The soft sunlight completely illuminated Iris' delicate face like an oil painting, and her blond hair gleamed under the just right light, adding a bit of pure beauty.
She stretched out her hand gently and politely, and smiled slightly: "Hello, Agent, I'm Iris Bickle."
The camera understood the expectations of the audience very well, and directly took a frontal close-up of Iris's face. The beautiful blue eyes were extraordinarily clear and bright due to the refraction of light, as if loaded with stardust and transparent sea water.
——If there is another light circle on the head, you can really sing Hallelujah.
Sitting on the seat, Brady gasped and exaggerated: "God, she is really beautiful, and the director is so good-but I always have a bad feeling."
"I think so too." Hesis interjected, "Is the orphanage at the beginning related to the school's charity performance? I noticed—"
"Enough, stop!" Their friend Gavin couldn't bear it anymore, "If you continue to spoil the show, I swear I will never have any more brother nights with you!"
Brady and Hesis glanced at each other, and at the same time made a movement of zipping their mouths.
The movie is getting better.
With a few words, Iris dispelled Bentley's suspicion of her, and helped the latter pursue the case without any grievances. While providing a lot of clues to solve the case, it also helped this depressed man find himself and get back on his feet.
Soon, Bentley locked the suspect, another student at the school, Sean.
Compared with Iris, who is so good that he is about to hold a recital, Sean, who is also a student, is more like an ordinary person. He is good at skipping classes, stealing, fighting, and fighting. Even his adoptive parents have long let him fend for himself. Surprisingly, he was able to plot murder and even accepted that his adopted son was about to be caught and thrown in prison.
Everything went miraculously.
After meeting Iris, Bentley's life and work are full of vitality, and they are actively developing in a good direction, and the relationship between the two becomes clearer.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Sean's official trial.
Bentley shaved off his messy beard and specially cut his hair. When he sat on the witness stand and took the oath, he seemed to have returned to the time when he just entered the industry, full of confidence and vitality.
Contrary to him, Sean in the dock looked indifferent and indifferent to the trial process.
Occasionally, his eyes drifted around the court, with a feeling of trance like after taking drugs, but no one noticed, this line of sight always inadvertently stayed on the blonde girl in the gallery, even if there was a glimmer of light from the corner of his eye It's all hers.
But Iris didn't notice it -- or rather, didn't care.
She sat gracefully on the seat, her chin stretched forward, her shoulders and neck stretched out, and her hands were folded in front of her knees. While raising her face to look at the energetic Bentley, she quietly spoke from an imperceptible angle. Playing a certain piece of music silently with his fingers on his arm, he looked extremely happy.
The first round of trial ended, and Bentley walked towards the public gallery, while Sean in the dock was in shackles and was being driven forward by prison guards.
Sean's gaze could finally meet Iris's.
The camera moves along the trajectory of Sean's actions——
The back that belonged to Bentley covered most of Iris' figure, and only above his broad shoulder line showed his beautiful upper half face.
These cornflower-colored beautiful eyes have a harsh reflection, and the pale face is a bit cloudy and cloudy. Matching the cold and dark tones in the court, it looks indifferent and dangerous, but it has a delicate and eye-catching beauty like a work of art. One cannot look away.
But when the camera moved slowly, and three-quarters of her complete profile appeared in the frame, this femme fatale aura instantly disappeared, and was replaced by another casual glance, which was faint and did not have much aggressive.
And this is exactly Iris's expression in Sean's memory most of the time.
She seemed indifferent to everything in this world, whether it was the chasing of boys and the jealousy of girls in adolescence, or the many trials and pains others have been inflicting on her.
But in fact, she cared.
Sean discovered this very secretly and secretly, and regarded it as a special secret between the two, although Iris herself may not have participated at all.
This is a one-man show that belongs to the boy himself.
Iris was his first heartbeat, and she was also the woman who inadvertently turned on him. At the same time, because of his cowardice and stupidity, this girl was forced to lose her virginity when she was in the orphanage.
The past emotions are entangled into a thin but strong net, which is enough to make Sean willingly give up everything for Iris - even his life.
But Sean is not the only one who is willing to give his life?
"Sure enough, that professor committed suicide." Peter Travers, a film critic for Rolling Stone magazine, wrote a few lines in his notepad, "Looking back, those inexplicable behaviors have become incomprehensible." The traces can be followed. Alan Rickman only used a few shots of writing a letter to make his own character full of depression and pain; and Josie Horton performed a silent eyes very lightly The confrontation successfully allowed the audience to see another side of the heroine. Oh, this newcomer is also good."
"It is worth mentioning that the language of the lens is used here particularly well. The special lens with a wide angle of view blurs and distorts the surrounding things. Only the heroine at the focus of the lens is a clear and vivid existence."
