Hollywood Secret Garden

"Miss Angela's new work is a very interesting movie, and it should also be the most heartwarming movie she has directed. Through ten different but interrelated stories, Angela shows us a A picture of all beings around Christmas. Although "True Love Actually" is similar to her previous "Crash" in terms of narrative techniques, it is different from the sharp criticism of "Crash". fairy tale.

Whether it's a cheating boss, a middle-aged adoptive father who lost his wife, or a young prime minister who dared not face his feelings, a man who secretly fell in love with his friend's new wife, etc., although there have been twists and turns, there is a fairly happy ending, even The last gay headmistress who is single and still receives an unnamed Christmas card - by the way, my favorite of all the stories, Elizabeth Hurley is brilliant - it's a somewhat idealistic film , you don’t need to think too much, just follow the development of the story and continue reading.

Or because too many movies with heavy topics have been made, Angela finally wants to try some types with lighter themes.Frankly speaking, although "True Love Actually" is a bit too idealized, it is still a good movie, especially the opening segment, which is said to be actually shot at Heathrow Airport, is very touching.

As Angela said, this is a delightful movie dedicated to Christmas, and I hope everyone can find their true love at Christmas. "

This review in The Times can be regarded as representative after the premiere of "Love Actually". British film critics were slightly disappointed, but considering that it was filmed by Angela in the UK

The first movie and it was said early in the production that it would be a very warm movie, and it was rumored that "The Queen" would be released soon, so they didn't use too much criticism.Even if someone quoted the question "is the story of the gay female principal adapted from her own experience" at the press conference that night, they wrote very implicitly: "Probably because there have been many homosexual scandals, so Angela arranged such a story."

Even the tabloids that hate celebrities making a fool of themselves have at least toned down the sharpness of their language a notch.However, compared with these gentle British counterparts, American film critics are not very polite.

"Angela gave up her thinking about movies and began to change in the direction of pleasing the audience. From the beginning to the end we saw a lot of coincidences and whimsical plots, the actors came together for no reason and said their own things, It's a sad turn of events for the sole purpose of making the audience as happy as possible."

The guy who writes this kind of thing obviously doesn't like Angela, but there are some who are fair: "The editing is not as exquisite as "Crash", it is said that Angela completely handed over the editing work of the film to the assistant director and editor, obviously she Didn't spend too much time on this movie. However, whether it's Emma Thompson or Hugh Grant or Bill Nighy's performance is remarkable, this is indeed a movie suitable for Christmas with friends or Movies that lovers watch together."

Someone also jokingly said: "Obviously, the president of the United States in the movie alludes to Bill Clinton. Poor guy, even though things have passed for several years, they will still be ridiculed."

As for those American tabloids... the tabloids in the world are all the same, the difference is only in the combination of words.

Even so, the public liked this heartwarming film very much. Whether it was British fans or American fans who saw it a few days later, they all showed great enthusiasm for "True Love Actually".

"I like the story in the movie, it gives people a very comfortable feeling." A British movie fan said in an interview.

"Angela's movies are always the best." This is an American movie fan.

"I have said long ago that this is a story about true love, and true love is not limited to love. I always say that telling a good story and telling a good story is something that every director must possess, but Stories are never as exciting as life." Angela said when participating in the BBC talk show.

Interestingly, 80% of movie fans in the street survey said that the story of the headmistress is best told, and 80% of them complained why the headmistress couldn't get back together with her girlfriend.

"The ending of the female principal is relatively open, so that fans can imagine it themselves. As for the previous question, if there is regret, there will be nostalgia. This is the case for the man who has a crush on his friend's new wife, and the female employee who gave up her love because of her mentally ill brother. It's also the same, the female principal's regret is the most, and everyone misses the most." Angela kept smiling and answered questions during the interview, but she kept silent about the source of the female principal's story.

"If they asked me, I would definitely say that this is based on your experience." Xia Xia who was lying on the bed watching TV shook her head and said, followed by a crisp sound from her buttocks.After the girl screamed, Angela clapped her hands, ignoring the teary eyes staring at her, and shrugged leisurely.

If a man broke in at this time, he would definitely drool because of the view of the room.The famous Miss Angel, Angela Mason, was sitting naked on the head of the bed, watching TV and typing something on the laptop. The almost perfect proportion of the bumpy figure was enough to make anyone tempted.And next to her was the same naked Emma Watson who played Hermione in the famous "Harry Potter" series of movies. attraction.

Seeing that Angela didn't speak, Xia Xia snorted angrily and rubbed her little buttocks, then climbed on the bed again and continued to shake her calves back and forth, even though she still sneaked a few glances at Angela from time to time.

"Do you want to ask something?" Angela finally closed the notebook, and also crawled beside Xia Xia.

The little girl immediately turned her head away and ignored her. Angela smiled and shook her head and reached out to pinch the other's cheek. After pulling it over, she quickly blocked Xia Xia's lips, and after teasing her, she let it go again. .

"You can't...you can't use this trick every time!" Xia Xia punched Angela's body with her fists angrily.

"Then how about a different tactic?" Angela didn't care about her weak little fist, and stretched out her hand to swim around the green and immature body, and just a few times made the dodging little girl soften .

"Who were you dating in the first place?" Xia Xia, who was "ravaged" by Angela and was weak, suddenly asked.

Angela was taken aback for a moment, then stopped and asked the previous question: "What do you want to ask?"

"I'm just curious, it's fine if you don't want to say it." Xia Xia rolled her eyes, took the opportunity to escape from Angela's claws, wrapped her body in a quilt, and couldn't help but asked again: "Is it Jesse? That time in San Francisco should be true, right?"

Unexpectedly, Angela's face suddenly became gloomy. The girl was taken aback, but then thought of something, and asked cautiously: "You two broke up, right? That story... is indeed based on my own experience written, right?"

"You are very smart, Xia Xia," Angela rubbed her head, "but some things are much more complicated than you think."

"That means...you've dated quite a few people?" Xia Xia blinked her bright eyes, then suddenly pouted her mouth, looking at Angela with some displeasure: "So... it's Kayla now ?!"

"What do you want to ask?" Angela repeated what she said before, which was regarded as acquiescing.

"Then you still...then you still..." Xia Xia was speechless, her little face was full of dissatisfaction, and she wrapped the quilt around her body tighter.

"Except for the first time, it seems that you have been by my side these days?" Angela joked, and then raised her chin before the little girl gritted her teeth: "I'm just collecting interest."

"Interest?" Xia Xia frowned in confusion, "What interest?"

"An old account from ten years ago," Angela looked at her with a half-smile, "I didn't intend to pursue it, but after returning from the premiere that day, various coincidences—for example, I was depressed because of certain things, And some immature girl has grown up—reminds me of this humiliating past, so I've decided to come back with some interest."

"Old debt?" The girl looked at Angela suspiciously, and involuntarily leaned back under pressure.

"You may have forgotten, but I will never!" Angela raised her chin, like a debt collector, "Just ten years ago, in Paris, in your apartment, you were a kid, Sneak on me while I'm giving you a bath!"

"Steal... sneak attack on you?!" Xia Xia showed a shocked expression, and then became weird, "No way!"

"I said, you definitely don't remember, but I know it very well. I can still recall the feeling of you biting here and not letting go." Angela said and pointed to her chest.

The girl opened her mouth wide and looked at Angela in bewilderment, her mouth moved twice but no sound came out, and then two blushes slowly appeared on her face.Angela immediately sat up, puffed out her chest and looked down at Xia Xia: "Although there are no other witnesses, I clearly remember the time, place and related people..."

At this point, she stopped suddenly and frowned, but she returned to normal after a few seconds: "So don't try to argue, you should pay the price for your willful actions, Xia Xia!"

"Really? Then how did I do it in the first place? Is that so?!" The girl said angrily, and suddenly she jumped up, hugged Angela like an octopus, and buried her head in her chest.

"Ha!" Angela screamed, and after feeling a numbness in her chest, she sneered and pressed Xia Xia on the bed.For a while, the sound of laughing, cursing and fighting began to reverberate in the room again.

The phone at the bedside suddenly rang. Although Angela didn't want to answer it, the phone kept ringing persistently. She had no choice but to let go of Xia Xia and press the speakerphone.

"You wasted at least 4 minutes," Alizee's cold voice sounded, and if you listen carefully, you can hear a bit of gnashing of teeth, "Kayla is waiting for the elevator, she obviously wants to give you a surprise, you can wait at most There are 7 minutes."

"Wh... what?" Angela showed a dazed look and hadn't reacted yet.

"I'm in the lobby, the elevator will be here soon, you still have 6 minutes." Alizee's tone became more and more indifferent.

"Help me pester her, at least give me another 5 minutes." Angela said quickly, or realized that her tone was wrong, and then slowed down and said in a pleading tone: "Please, Lily."

Without waiting for Alizee to reply, she hung up the phone, and then turned her head: "Get dressed, try to hurry up."

Although Xia Xia's expression was a little strange, she didn't say much, but quietly put on her clothes quickly. 10 minutes is enough time for two people to put on neat clothes. As for the messy room, it just shows that Angela doesn't care about details, doesn't she?

"Angie!" After Angela opened the door, Keira immediately hugged her with a smile on her face.

"Kayla?!" Angela's look of surprise was very natural, and Alizee, who was following Keira, turned a little blue.

"Didn't expect me to show up out of the blue, did you? The Caribbean scene is finally done, and God, Bruckheimer is finally willing to take a big vacation from the crew. It's not going to Los Angeles until Christmas and New Years, so I have I spend a lot of time with you." Kayla, who was chattering non-stop, finished speaking in one breath and finally found someone else in the room.

"Xia Xia? Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were here." Keira, who was holding Angela tightly, let go of her hand and stuck out her tongue in secret, and then she looked at the little girl strangely: "What happened?" Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're really enthusiastic." Xia Xia, who came back to his senses, forced a smile, and then turned to Angela: "Angie, I want to go back, can someone send me?"

"Going back? Can't you stay longer? I just got off the plane and didn't even reverse the jet lag, so I came here." Keira said quickly, she obviously misunderstood Xia Xia's expression before.

"Okay, Keira, let Xia Xia leave. You must be tired, so you should rest for a while. Besides, you have plenty of time, and you are not in a hurry, right?" Angela took over the topic.

Keira naturally obeyed her words, and Xia Xia immediately packed up again, and said goodbye to the two with her own things.The moment the door closed, Keira threw herself into Angela's arms again, covered her lips and kissed passionately.

After a lot of entanglement, the two separated. Keira stroked Angela's face with nostalgia, and her beautiful eyes were full of watery tenderness: "I miss you so much, Angie."

Immediately afterwards, she frowned again, and leaned closer to Angela for a closer look: "Did something happen?"

"No, nothing." Angela smiled and shook her head, throwing away those trances, "I just feel... as if in a dream, and once I wake up, there is nothing."

Keira blinked, a smile appeared on her face again, she hugged Angela and kissed her lips lightly: "No, I will be by your side, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, I will Love you, Angie."

Angela didn't speak, but just hugged Keira tightly as well.

The enthusiasm of film critics for "Love Actually" began to fade after the premiere. The editing is quite satisfactory, and the story is slightly fairy tale. It is suitable for couples or friends to watch during Christmas.If it wasn't for the director and producer being Angela, it wouldn't have produced such a sensational effect.

The enthusiasm of ordinary people is still there. As I said just now, this is a movie that is very suitable for couples or friends to watch on Christmas.Some people even watch it repeatedly. Although it is not as exaggerated as the fans of "Titanic", there are quite a few people who watch the movie more than twice.In just two weeks of release, it has grossed more than 1 million on both sides of the Atlantic.

However, it seems that the rising momentum of the rocket did not last long before turning into a stable period. Apart from objective laws, the most important thing is that the major film companies have started a Christmas war, among which is the live-action version of Pixar's "Transformers"!

In the end, Angela did not attend the premiere of "Transformers" in Los Angeles, although this year's Christmas will be spent at her grandpa's house in New York.

The person who announced the reason was that he couldn't get away from other things, and the explanation to Keira was that he wanted to stay with her in London for a few more days. One can imagine how moved the latter would be.

Even so, she secretly watched the film she had been looking forward to in a theater in London on the day of its premiere.Frankly speaking, the film produced and directed by Cameron is better than the original version in terms of editing and story rhythm, not to mention that Angela made special adjustments when writing the script-for example, Optimus Prime was advanced. And the timing of the Autobots - Cameron also grasped this very well when he directed it.

Although the explosion scene is much less than the original version, it does not affect the story telling. The scene of sweeping the US military base in confusion at the beginning is still very enjoyable. As for some bugs, there is no need to pursue them. The story is not life, and there will always be bugs. .

In short, Cameron deserves to be Cameron. Although the 16-year-old actor Shia LaBeouf is young and young, he can’t see it on the screen at all. One can imagine what he was trained by the tyrant on the set That's it--Angela heard Spielberg say a lot about his godson complaining to him when he was filming "The End of Happiness."

As for the heroine...it's still so sexy and charming, especially when she smiles.Compared with the woman named Megan in my memory, Jessica still has a unique gentleness when she is enchanting. Cameron obviously noticed this, so the Jessica on the screen showed all kinds of tenderness. The traits are exceptionally attractive.

This tenderness... this smile... doesn't belong to me anymore.Angela, who was sitting in the private room of the theater, quietly looked at the big screen and thought so.
