atypical hollywood life

Some people even claimed that Stanley Kubrick was a mentally ill bastard, but he was not sent to a mental hospital because of his title as a great director!In addition, he died four days after editing the film, but Warner Bros. has not given a release date to "Close Eyes", and all kinds of conspiracy theories about the plot of certain scenes in this film have also been released. Churches, Freemasons, Catholic secret societies, etc., even the legend that Stanley Kubrick was hired by NASA to fake the Apollo 1969 moon landing in 11 has not been let go.Anyway, so far the number one organization in the world has been dragged out and rounded up!

And Las Vegas, which is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, also participated in it. They opened a rumor at the time when the other pair of candidates for "Close Eyes" Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin The highest odds of being divorced by this evil movie have reached 1:5!God knows Kubrick didn't intend to use stars to act in this film at all, and I don't know where this statement came from.

This magical stroke made the situation in Hollywood and the British film industry even worse during this period, which was already messed up by the various reactions associated with the news of Kubrick's death.It seemed like all of a sudden everything went off the rails, and the media and the masses were never going to get along again.

In this case, Margaret got on the plane to England.

Sentiment and reason, as Stanley Kubrick declared his favorite actress, Margaret had to go to the old man's final farewell.Even if she doesn't like some aspects of him, it doesn't stop her respect for the master.And Stanley did treat her well, not just in attitude, but also in behavior.He talked to his friends more than once that Margaret is the most profound actress he has ever seen, especially for her age, this girl's thinking is enough to be a philosopher, she is one of the few An actor who acts with his brain and heart at the same time is a genius in the film industry!

Kubrick even told his old friends about a script he had been brewing for many years, "Napoleon."

He felt that when Margaret grew up, his script would mature and he could invite his favorite actor to play the heroine of his movie.It was the first time for Kubrick to choose a leading actress before the film was prepared, and people wondered what kind of person could make him appreciate the praise that he spared no effort to this extent.And Margaret's reputation also unconsciously changed from the youngest actress to the actress Kubrick most wanted to work with.

It's hard to say which of these two titles is better. In the world, of course, Oscar has a greater influence, but in Europe, and even in the literary and artistic circles, Kubrick's name is much more useful.Although Under God is a bit exaggerated, it is not called for nothing. Naturally, there are reasons why it can be called this way.It's often said that for Kubrick's films, both the Oscars and the movie's box office are nothing more than a cloud in the silhouette of time.It's enough that the movie is made by Kubrick.

Therefore, it is very strange that even though all the films Margaret has shot so far are not pure art films, even more commercial blockbusters, she still has an insurmountable position in the hearts of those filmmakers. The goal that directors who have aspirations in art have been pursuing.In addition, it is not a secret that she has lowered her pay for the movies she likes, so many directors of art films think that she is a girl who has a romantic pursuit of the script, as long as she likes it, she can do nothing for the movie. Remuneration, even back payment is not a problem.

Of course, this part of the truth is true, but there is still a considerable error. Anyway, Margaret will not invest in some literary movies that are inexplicably more than nonsense. Without love, everything is in vain for her!It can only be said that rumors are harmful. Most people did not directly hear what Kubrick said. It is not strange to spread rumors.

It was Mr. Cruise who came to pick up Margaret at the airport. He was originally in the UK and Australia to prepare for the work of "Mission: Impossible 2". audition.This time without ex-wife Nicole Kidman recommending Thandie Newton to her, the heroine took a lot of effort.But the death of his idol completely disrupted his pace, and the audition was completely left to director John Wu.Yes, that is the John Wu who carried forward the aesthetics of violence. Although he was almost imitated by the Americans later, he was kicked out of Hollywood after filming "Windtalker", the fuse of MGM's complete bankruptcy. But before the new century, he was quite popular here.

"Ultimate Target" and "Broken Arrow" laid the foundation for him, and the appearance of "Face Changing" made the director proud, and he was recommended by Tom Cruise to become the director of "Mission: Impossible 2". director.Mr. Cruise once wanted to introduce him to Margaret, who also loves violent movies, but she refused.The reason she gave at the time was that she loved Zhang Che more than Director Wu.But the real reason was that Margaret loved Zhang Che more, but hated Director Wu.Gein's character is really not very good, very strange, in Margaret's view, this person who is known as an international leader is a typical person who serves a bowl to eat and scolds his mother.It doesn't matter if you praise the actor you like, but every time you step on the position of the person who invested in you and sneer at random, it is really a character problem, and you don't know what he is thinking in his heart.It is worth not mentioning those films that Jiang Lang only made later.

But these are none of her business, she is willing to fight and suffer, but let her get in touch with this one, forget it.She doesn't have that kind of idle thoughts.

Mr. Cruise, who came to pick up Margaret, simply surprised her. In just a few days, Tom has now turned into a scruffy man with a beard and his usual slovenly appearance, which is almost imageless!

"Hi, Meg. Long time no see."

Mr. Crews gave Margaret a forced smile and sighed.Although he was in a very good mood when he first got divorced, and he also had the mentality of making some small pranks succeed because of the things that caused the filming to fail.But now he really regrets it, he might as well delay the divorce until after the movie is over.That would at least make it easier for Stanley before he died, and by the way, there would not be so many gossip newspapers after his death to make him uneasy after his death and let Christine, Anya and Katharina also suffer from this kind of gossip.

The two got into the car directly and drove to Kubrick's house.It was very silent all the way.

Kubrick's death brought Tom Cruise not only the departure of an idol, but also a heavy pain.As a child that Stanley likes very much, he has been helping Christine with things related to the funeral for the past few days. Anya is not in good health, and Katharina wants to comfort her mother who is about to collapse. Without getting back to London from Los Angeles and God knows if she'll be there for the funeral the day after tomorrow, the whole thing has turned into a mess!And as the executor of Kubrick's will, he has too many things to worry about, and now he is too mentally tired to talk.Fortunately, the relationship between Margaret and him does not require him to deal with it, which is really great.

Stanley Kubrick's funeral gathered many directors as expected, including Spielberg, who Margaret is very familiar with, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and many other big names in the circle And, of course, Margaret's godfather, George Lucas.He nodded to his goddaughter, indicating that the two of them would talk again after the farewell party at the funeral.

In addition to the big directors, many big-name actors came, including not only Jack Nicholson and Kirk Douglas, but also more young people, such as Pierce Brosnan, Hugh Grant, Ralph Fiennes kind of thing.What Margaret couldn't understand was why Madonna, the queen of the American native music industry, would appear here. An avant-garde woman who played music with eight poles across the Atlantic Ocean appeared at the funeral of a great literary film director. Was the farewell party a little too spooky?

Turning around and seeing a man with a worrying hairline, Margaret twitched the corners of her mouth. Well, she knew why Madonna appeared here. Although she didn't know when these two got married, it was obvious that they They are now a couple.

It is said that the funeral of a celebrity is a place for more celebrities to show off, and this sentence is no exception in Kubrick's funeral farewell party.Apart from those celebrities whom Margaret could name, there are also many people who are not famous now but will become famous in the future.Among them are two young men with weird hairstyles, Christopher Nolan and Matthew Vaughn, Batman's man and Wang's man.Even at a glance, there are many people who are familiar to Margaret but cannot be named, which shows the great influence of Kubrick.

Margaret shook her head, probably less than a third of the people here sincerely mourned for Stanley, and Christine was probably going to be sad again.She walked quickly to the room, planning to do something for this gentle lady, even if she couldn't comfort her, at least it would be good to be by her side.She and Kubrick's youngest daughter, Vivian, finally rushed back from Los Angeles to attend her father's funeral, with a strange woman by her side, just sitting in the living room like that, which made people feel very bad.

And Christine's situation is indeed not good. Her heart was broken because of her daughter Anya's body, and she was also sad about another daughter's bad relationship with her husband. Now that her husband has left her, this lady is about to collapse up.But she still needs to keep her spirits up. There are still many unfinished business for her husband, and she needs to help him fulfill his wish.

So when Margaret entered the living room, she saw Christine with red eyes talking to Mr. Cruise.

"All the information about "Artificial Intelligence", including manuscripts, shot scripts, and notes, have been left by Stanley to Steven, and I will slowly sort out the rest..."

Seeing Margaret coming in, the two did not stop talking but continued to say something before Tom Cruise left the living room to go outside.

"Honey, come and sit down. Before leaving, Stanley told me that I would leave you the things about "A Clockwork Orange", which are not valuable things. Except for the manuscript and the script, they are all his during filming. Thoughts and notes..." Christine couldn't help crying when she thought of her husband's smug smile every time he told his friends about the God is Kubrick joke.

Margaret looked at the big box in front of her and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that the master would leave her a gift. Even though this gift was not what she liked, it was the last gift of an old man. Still worth her to cherish.Besides, it's not worthless, everything about Kubrick has great value, let alone this great movie?Perhaps she could posthumously bequeath this precious memorabilia to other film-talented descendants of the Kubrick family?

"Thank you, Christine, I will cherish it." Margaret hugged Christine and said softly.
