Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Stark thought it was weird, especially sitting side by side with Captain America in a movie theater, and every now and then he would ask, "Hey Captain, can you move your big arm?", but it didn't What's the use, the preview screening has officially started, Steve put his eyes completely on the big screen, and Stark mumbled a few words arrogantly, and then invested in the same.
In fact, Stark can be regarded as a movie enthusiast, which can be seen from the luxurious private theater in his home, and Stark is actually not a too picky audience, as long as it is a good story, as long as the director and actors Trying to tell this story well, of course, having a general understanding of the plot of the original "The Departed" in advance, coupled with his confidence in the actors and director, Stark has great expectations for this movie.
The film, which has not yet been finalized and has not yet added production information, appears directly on the screen of this small auditorium. Several quick-cut pictures explain the background of the film. Boston in the 70s has been controlling The city's criminal underworld, the Irish Gangsters.Along with these violent and chaotic fighting scenes, the voice of Frank's actor, Nicholson, gradually sounded. He seemed to be puffing on a cigar, and his words were careless and conceited. , clearly revealing that he is the king who controls everything.
"Mr.c——" A child appeared on the screen with bruises on his face and body, looking up with his beautiful big eyes, and behind him, the scars on his body A couple was kneeling on the ground under pressure, and then with two gunshots, the body fell to the ground, and blood spread.
The boy just glanced back, then quickly turned his head: "You killed them, mr.c—"
"Yeah, I'm going to kill you too." Frank, who is respected as Mr. C, patted the boy's face with a smile, "But I changed my mind because I like the look in your eyes—"
Stark knew the childhood of the boy Colin on the screen, and the little actor obviously found Alex with the photos of Alex when he was a child. Stark would always find a way to collect a whole set of those photos So he recognized it at first glance, but after hearing the female audience in the front row lamenting that the young actor's performance was awesome, as beautiful as a character in a painting, Stark couldn't help shaking his head , still not as beautiful as Alex when he was a child, Stark still remembers the feeling he felt when he saw a certain childhood photo of Alex for the first time, that is, he immediately wanted to hold the child in his arms and hide it.
In short, during the period when Stark was a little distracted, the film has finished telling the childhood of the two protagonists. Colin often abused his adoptive parents because he refused to pay Frank the protection money, and was killed by the latter, and Frank At that time, there was a plan to train some children to enter the police station as undercover agents, so he kept Colin.
At the same time, Billy's biological father was also killed by Frank for this reason. His father's death brought great grief to the family. The family shrouded in dark clouds of fear all the year round also fell apart. Relatives grew up.
This explained the background and made the audience understand why Billy willingly left the police academy and returned to the environment where he wanted to escape desperately to be an undercover agent, just to avenge Frank, and it also showed that Colin actually had a way to get rid of Frank. , but still scouting for him at the police station because of the kindness he remembered.
Another series of quick, gimmick-like cuts, Colin and Billy finally graduated from the police academy, the camera gives a close-up of two people in uniform saluting, this is a scene that will make people's eyes shine, Whether it was Leonardo or Alex, against the backdrop of their uniforms, their resolute expressions and bright eyes made them look extremely handsome.
And Stark's eyes naturally fell on Alex's body. He didn't just look at his face, but when he saw Alex was wearing a uniform, his straight legs were wrapped under trousers, revealing his body. His muscular lines, especially his upturned buttocks, Stark really couldn't control himself, he couldn't help but think of some shameful pictures, just because Alex in uniform has a kind of ascetic sexiness, called One would just pull off his tie and pin him down, and then just take off his trousers, his shirt and tie would stay where they were, hanging on his back as he was being hit so hard. dangling...
"...I don't know what you're imagining, but I suggest you better stop, Stark."
"What—?" Stark looked slightly dissatisfied with being interrupted and looked at Steve, who suddenly came to speak next to him, "What do you want me to stop?"
"Because your expression is so strange that people can't help but want to beat you up." Steve said with sincere eyes.
"..."
After graduation, Martin also began to use two lines to tell the different lives of the two protagonists. Frank drove to pick up Colin on the day he graduated, and like a real father, he was proud of his son who finally graduated Then, he gave Colin a gift and said a lot of witty words about school'out, and then Colin raised his eyes from the gift and looked at Frank, the co-pilot.
I have to say, this is really a beautiful look, and the audience who are appreciating the close-up of this look from Frank's perspective can't help sighing, and the most calm ones are just the film critics, they know that Martin actually deliberately wants to put Asia The innate charming aura of Alex has been erased, but this kind of temperament is too strong, and in this shot, the kind that Alex showed, due to Colin's youthfulness, is in the At this moment, he truly regarded Frank as his father's admiration. I am afraid that no one can refuse, and he defeated everyone.
At the same time, Billy passed the police detective's interview, and from next week, he said goodbye to everything, and he was going to start his long undercover job with this secret deep in him.During this period, the wonderful rivalry between Leonardo and Nicholson conquered many film critics. The tension and danger of wandering on the edge made people concentrate.Of course, I have to say that Martin Scorsese is already a master of storytelling. He knows that excessive tension can sometimes be exhausting, and stopping at the right time can arouse the interest of others.
And while Billy gained Frank's trust step by step, Colin also rose step by step in the police station.
David Manning watched on the screen as Alex walked up the stairs from the stairs to the office on the second floor in his uniform. He held a file bag and greeted every familiar colleague with a smile. The long shot suddenly made David feel that Alex seemed to have been reborn, because in this performance, Alex has neither Edward's shadow nor Kyle's traits at all, just It's just that Colin, who wandered in the streets since he was a child, was brought up by a gang leader, and then used all these undercover agents who wandered between black and white ends, he was ambitious and high-spirited.
David couldn't figure out how Alex did it, how to achieve this addictive performance state.But the story is too wonderful, and the actors' superb and thrilling acting skills do not allow David to be distracted too much.
The first confrontation between the police and Frank ended in a thrilling atmosphere in which the audience breathed a sigh of relief, followed by the second and third times, and the tension spread to the end until the special operation The team leader and the only detective who knew Billy's true identity died.
He was thrown from a tall building by Frank and fell to his death in a taxi.
Billy witnessed this scene with his own eyes. At the same time, the police rushed to raise guns to each other with Frank's men who had not yet escaped.In this chaos and danger, there was only Billy. He seemed to be a drunk and became slow and dull. He only looked at the bloody police detective's body, as if he was about to approach slowly.
Until someone called Billy's name, a person who was also under Frank yelled: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get in the car—Billy..."
Billy was sitting in the co-pilot, this time he had no time to listen to the voice of the person driving the vehicle, his mind was full of the death he had just witnessed, until Hal slammed on the brakes, Billy looked over, and then It turned out that Hal had been shot a long time ago, and he was bleeding profusely.
Billy was shocked, his eyes widening.
Hal still had his naive smile, to put it bluntly, it was because he always showed such a silly look, even though he had been with Frank the longest, he still did the most tiring work and didn't get any points Power is also looked down upon by people in the gang, but he just likes to follow Billy, because he clearly knows that although Billy is always angry and beats people from time to time, when those people laugh at him with dirty words, haha Billy never heard a word from Billy.
"Five minutes after you said you were going to play with that whore, Frank called and said he was coming to do something—" Hal gasped, his face paled from blood loss, "he also said, what if Whoever does not appear in this operation... who, who is the undercover agent..."
"I, I didn't say you..."
Billy gritted his teeth. He called Hal's name and tried to restart the stalled car. Hal smiled and put his hand on Billy's hand covering his wound: "I didn't say you went to a whore-I I know, I said it, Frank would be mad, yes, he would, and maybe he'd point a gun at you..."
"Stop it, Hal...stop it—" Billy's voice was rough as if it had been ground on sandpaper.
"So, you have to remember, to find out the undercover agent, you have to look, whoever is not paying attention, pretends to be doing it, and keeps looking at you, then he is the police..." Hal asked with a smile Said, "Did I sum it up well? I just said I'm not a fool, right?"
Billy gritted his teeth. He blinked constantly, as if he could take back the surging emotion, but his eyes were still red in the end. Watching him nod, Hal also slowly closed his eyes. Eye.
And the sensational soundtrack sounded at this moment, making people immersed in sadness even more uncomfortable.Billy lost two of his most important people in one day. In the white world, it was Detective Downey, and in the black world, it was Hal.And he was alone in this empty surrounding, he could have cried a lot, but very helplessly, he couldn't cry anymore.
Billy became more determined that he would complete his undercover mission and find out Frank's undercover in the police station.
After the death of Detective Downey, Colin in the police station is also having a hard time. He has worked with Downey in the past few months, and he is also fed up with the shock of wandering between these two ends.Colin got a call from his girlfriend to share with him the ending of his newly written 28-personality protagonist: "By the end, every one of his personalities fell apart, and he no longer knew what it was. Reality, what is false, he lost everything that was originally beautiful..."
Colin walked into the bathroom, and the dense water vapor quickly blurred the window. He wiped away the water vapor with his hands, and Colin's face appeared in the mirror. He slowly raised his eyes to look at himself in the mirror. His face was still unclear, but his eyes gradually changed from dark to firm.
Colin stepped into the second floor of the office again. After the death of Detective Downey, Colin became the leader of the special investigation operation team. Unfortunately, due to a series of reasons, Colin could not convince the public, so for When he arrived, the rest of the group didn't give too much extra concern. Colin walked to the middle, and he patted the desk vigorously: "I know you are all sad for Detective Downey, and so am I." ..." Seeing that someone was about to interrupt him, Colin only gave the person a look and shut his mouth again, "And now, I am the commander, you must obey my orders, I have news , Yes, Detective Downey's undercover agent at Frank's place contacted me, Frank will take action tonight, and we will be able to capture him successfully..." Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Colin stood up straight "As long as you believe me..."
After the preview of "The Departed", David Manning couldn't wait to start his film review that will be published in the "New York Times".
"This is a film directed by Martin Scorsese. His personal imprint made me ready to accept the baptism of long shots from the beginning, but the result surprised me a little. The film started with a fast cut. , The splicing of close-up shots and sound montage, I have to say, this is more or less a show of skill.
The sharp editing and sound editing add a lot to the film, the soundtrack is powerful to set off the atmosphere, and the fragmented short shots manipulate the emotions of the viewers. Although the film is quite experimental in terms of narrative at the beginning, Martin Scorsese is still in it. There is a balance between this, and he just wants to tell the story well in the final analysis.
However, the reason why this story can touch people's hearts is due to the wonderful performances of the two actors who burn themselves with all their strength. Among them, I want to talk about Alex Pollin who once again broke my imagination of him... "
