The weather is getting colder, and so is the heart.
Because for my cousin, 2018 is still one day away, and TA has not yet appeared.
Lonely people will always fantasize about the picture of being together many times.
Sir gave cousins incomplete statistics, the most frequent is this:
Ride on his crooked bike through the downtown area.
"Sweet Honey"
It's always a bit awkward to meet every day, and a heavy rain will make the two of them hug each other and get wet.
"Love Notebook"
No, in fact, the most fantasy is encounters.
It was once again lonely and bored on the street, and finally saw TA around the corner...
If you don't take off the list, just watch a movie that goes off the list, Sir feels that it is good for physical and mental health.
Because before the advent of TA, the sensation of heartbeat always had to be practiced.
Speaking of movies – do you think these pictures are all the thoughts of screenwriters of all kinds?
Give you an awkward but polite smile... In fact, there is one person who has already finished thinking about it.
Today, Sir would like to tell you about a person who is about to be forgotten, and also a genius screenwriter in Sir's heart.
Dalton Trumbo.
(No/Yes/Special/Lang/Pu)
The above "encounters" and "together" actually happened in his screenplay "Roman Holiday", see the picture.
After that, countless love classics, what "Notting Hill", "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death", ah, are likely to be picking up the old terrier of "Roman Holiday".
Therefore, as soon as this "Roman Holiday" was released that year (1954), it swept the Academy Awards.
From best actress to best screenplay to best costume, from nomination to award, it is all wrapped up.
But what about the winner of Best Screenplay?
...... I can only watch the live broadcast at home.
On the spot, he was not qualified to go.
Because the signature of the script is not him, and it cannot be him.

In the stills, you see a familiar and stylish uncle face, right?
Sir's favorite Breaking Bad, Old White (Brian Cranston).
The role he starred in, Trumbo, was even more bumpy than the experience of lao Bai.
Let's talk about this biopic today.
Talk about how this banned and persecuted screenwriter stubbornly resisted and wrote the most moving movie story for the world-
Hollywood's Blacklist
(a.k.a. Trumbo)
It said he could not sign.
The script of "The Princess and the Countryman", signed by others, was the later "Roman Holiday".
He has done this kind of thing more than once to give away the Academy Award.
The second time, his screenplay "Brave Man" won the Academy Award for Best Film Story again.
But no one knows who "Robert Ritchie" is.
What the hell, doesn't he want to be red at all?!
No, such a grievance, we have to start with Hollywood in the 50s.
In 1947, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union began.
The anti-communist wave is growing, and thousands of people with different beliefs and organizations are persecuted and forced to be laid off.
Fear of communism spread in Hollywood, and political persecution spread to a wide range of people, from actors to screenwriters to behind-the-scenes staff.
Do you know who the most persecuted celebrity is?
Chaplin.
In order to protect himself, he chose to leave the United States and go into exile in Switzerland.
In an investigation by the Committee of Inquiry into Non-American Activities, THE HUAC (an anti-communist and anti-people agency established by the House of Representatives of the United States Congress from 1938 to 1969), 43 Hollywood filmmakers were listed as "communists" and said they tried to "infiltrate the Hollywood film industry in the United States."
HuaC recruited 19 witnesses and asked for testification of the 43 men.
Half of the witnesses still had backbones, and 10 refused to testify in court, unwilling to disclose anyone's political background and ideological leanings.
Trumbo was at the hearing
Don't think the United States will do anything with them, these 10 people were immediately convicted of "contempt for Congress" - jailed, blacklisted, expelled from the company they worked for...
This is the sensational "Hollywood Ten Gentlemen" incident.
Stills from the Trumbo movie
Guess what, Trumbo is one of them.
Photos of Trumbo when he was in prison
After getting out of prison, life always fell off a cliff.
Trumbo became an unlucky unemployed man, and all the film companies would not accept him, no, except one.
The King brothers who specialize in bad movies.
Treatment, of course, also fell off a cliff.
One script, $1200.
Trumbo is also self-aware... Okay, don't mention the money, I don't want to sign it yet.
As a result, a creative career without name, no points, lack of money and food was restarted.
The company's requirements are also low:
In the shortest possible time, write a decent script.
When you don't think about the passion of creation at all
The work can be done in a week
Switching to some may feel good, but this kind of unsenstructed creation is too torturous to Trumbo.
How could he tolerate writing rotten stuff himself? After that, "Roman Holiday", "Brave Man", "Spartacus"... Brilliant works emerge from the pen.
Every time he succeeds, he has to ponder a question:
Can I show up? Are they ready to accept me?
finally.
After "Brave Man" won the Academy Award for Best Original Story, he was ready to stand up.
At that time, the American "strange director" Otto Preminger approached Trumbo and invited him to adapt "Exodus".
Trumbo seized the opportunity to clarify to the media that he was the real screenwriter of "Roman Holiday" and "Brave Man".
Of course, public opinion has exploded.
Two little gold men actually gave a "communist"?! This undoubtedly gave the whole of Hollywood and even the United States a resounding slap in the face at that time.
The director of "Exodus" Preminger is also really righteous, he supported Trumbo's "death" behavior, and bravely marked his name in the staff subtitles at the end of the film.
Writers: Dalton Trumbo
No one has the right to blacklist you, but tearing it off is on your own.
Tearing off this blacklist is actually very dangerous, and if you don't do it, you will be ruined again.
So, what exactly supports Trumbo's whitewashing, just for fame and fortune?
Back to the beginning of the movie.
Trumbo, played by Lao Bai, is talking to the actor, and the actor does not understand the reason for the confrontation with the other party in the plot.
Trumbo said... For world peace?
The actor said:
No, it's America.
Trumbo said... What about sex and money?
He was mocking the United States.
Because the United States he wants is rooted in freedom of belief.
Only for this reason is it worth a lifetime of perseverance and fighting for it.
Even from a safe dark corner, we will walk to the most eye-catching and dangerous place in front of the stage.
At this point, Trumbo, who has been writing other people's stories, has finally become his protagonist.
Let's talk about starring Lao Bai.
Not only is the temperament special to Trombus, but the experience is also similar.
He also became a late bloomer and ran the dragon set for more than 20 years.
It wasn't until he was 41 that he touched the edge of a somewhat famous movie... Made a cameo appearance as a one-armed officer in Saving Private Ryan.
When he boiled out every wrinkle on his head and boiled it into language, he finally came to play.
You all know how good his outburst was in Breaking Bad, but he wasn't inferior in Trumbo.
A lot of them are micro-motion-level —
Standing posture.
Before Trumbo went to prison, he used to cross his hands at his waist and hold his stomach straight, because he was always mouthless and liked to spew social injustice.
But when he was in prison, he was completely naked, and when he was examined by the prison guards, he hunched over, leaned forward, his arms stretched out weakly, and his eyes looked up in vain...
He had no pride, only humble prayers.
Look at the subconscious action again.
After the release of "The Princess Diaries", Trumbo went to see the film with his family.
When a laugh point appears, his first reaction is to observe the audience around him.
Complacency can't be a first-class screenwriter.
Whether the audience buys it or not is the first thing a screenwriter subconsciously wants to know.
These detailed performances not only show Lao Bai's acting skills, but also show that his previous undesirable ambitions have not been in vain.
In the days of dormancy, he must have been like Trumbo, not stopping to observe others and observe life.
Otherwise, how can it be possible to play someone else.
At the end of Breaking Bad six years ago, "Heisenberg" became Brian's common name.
In Brian's new autobiography, the back cover is "Heisenberg", not a life photo
The 46-year-old was nominated for an Emmy Award until the age of 52, when he first won the trophy, also because of "Heisenberg".
Brian actually played more than one "Heisenberg".
Father, husband, di si teacher, calm citizen, family man, drug lord leader...
Amazingly, these role reversals don't give the audience a particularly exaggerated dramatic feel.
He uses countless identities to enrich himself into a multi-faceted character.
Let this multi-faceted character say a simple and powerful core line:
Say My Name。
The temperament of this line is best suited to the "Trumbo" ending song "Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do".
Jazz diva Billy Holiday sang, singing of a lone fighter, untamed spirit of adventure.
After listening, even if you have been obscure, you feel reborn fighting spirit.
Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do。
I'm going to do it, and no one can take care of it.
Lao Bai was once lonely and nameless.
Trumbo used to be afraid of being famous.
A large part of their lives has been "lost", their reputation has been robbed, and the light has been covered up...
But I'm going to do it, and no one can take care of it.
Keeping this faith and repeatedly honing it, we finally achieved the protagonist of life.
