Chapter 73 Wasteland
George, who had just recovered from illness, stretched himself.
At the age of 16, George finally owned his own car. Just when George was addicted to racing and couldn't extricate himself, a car accident changed his outlook on life. The accident happened a few days before his high school graduation. George's lungs were crushed but
But he unexpectedly came back from the brink of death.
After recovering from his illness, George was ready to devote himself to learning to write. At this time, a childhood car friend persuaded him to go to the film department of the University of Southern California, where he could not only continue to learn writing, but also continue to "play" what he had learned while racing.
Already a very professional photographer, George went for reference, and to his surprise, he was admitted to the school.
photography?
It sounds good.
Next summer, he will go to Los Angeles.
Now, he was deciding to go watch a movie. Christmas was the "blockbuster" time, and the movies at this time were very good.
He bought a movie ticket.
It's "Wasteland".
The original investment of 20 million US dollars shocked a group of people. Especially these investments were made by a little girl.
However, when the $40 million "Cleopatra" came out, everyone turned their attention.
"Cleopatra" is very good, and can even be said to be a classic, but it is a bit out of date, and the taste of a literary film is too strong, with too little "enjoyment". It can only be an artistic "classic", not a commercial one.
.
Because of the failure of "Cleopatra", many investors were frightened and many blockbuster plans were cancelled.
At this time, "Wasteland" is about to be released.
That young lady named Katherine Edson is really amazing.
No matter how the movie was, George decided it would be better to watch it. And as a three-hour movie, it is really rare in history.
In fact, many people are also looking forward to "Wasteland".
After all, the failure of "Cleopatra" is simply terrible. If "Wasteland" fails again, it can be said that all blockbuster plans for the next ten years should be cancelled.
He bought a movie ticket and went into the Panorama Cinema.
Soon, the movie started.
"War, war never changes."
An old narration, the voice is so distant, yet so heavy.
But the screen was still pitch black.
At this time, the melodious guitar sound sounded.
“free-at-last, free-at-last
i-thank-god-i‘m-free-at-last
free-at-last,free-at-last
i-thank-god-i‘m-free-at-last
k-god-i‘m-free-at-last
me-and-my-jesus-going-to-meet-and-talk
i-thank-god-i‘m-free-at-last
on-my-knees--free-at-last
tho‘t-my-soul-d-fly
i-thank-god-i‘m-free-at-last
some-of-these-mornings,bright-and-fair
i-thank-god-i‘m-free-at-last
goin‘-meet-king-jesus-in-the-air
i-thank-god-i‘m-free-at-last…”
"free-at-last".
As the song sounded, the screen began to gradually brighten.
George vaguely remembered where he should have heard this song.
George's location was not good, it was close to the aisle, and opposite were seats for black people. Nowadays, many places also separate black people and white people. So the seats for black people are "exclusive seats" in bad places.
When they heard this song, they were a little confused at first, then they cheered, and finally became quiet again very quickly, leaving George confused.
Then, he suddenly remembered.
Martin Luther King ended his speech with this song on August 23.
In the distance, it seemed to be the rising sun.
Then the camera gradually zooms in and moves down.
A hat appeared on the screen. Then the screen continued down.
Everyone showed up.
A man playing music.
He was sitting on a scrapped blue car, with the boundless wilderness behind him.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up waves of yellow sand.
Sean Connery.
He turned his back to the rising sun and strummed the guitar in his hand, his eyes so focused and deep.
Free, finally free.
When this ancient black spiritual song with guitar accompaniment ended, Sean Connery's eyes suddenly became sharp, and at the same time, he took off the rifle from his back.
He then crouched beside the car and used it as cover.
He put the bullet into the rifle quickly and then stood up suddenly.
At this time, the camera was pointed at the muzzle of the gun.
The whole time also slowed down at this time.
"Bang!"
The bullet followed the fire and then ejected from the muzzle.
However, what is incredible is that at this time, the camera surrounded the bullet 360 degrees, and then followed it to penetrate the head of a monster in the distance!
The bright red liquid spilled down, but this scene did not make people feel sick at all. It seemed to be a natural work of art.
There is no soundtrack in the entire film, and the story is presented to everyone in a eloquent way.
White people, black people, and yellow people all appear in the film.
The scenes in the film are extremely real, and even the monsters cannot be seen to have any flaws.
It seems that this is the real data of the future of mankind, but it has traveled through time and space and then came here.
Everyone is deeply attracted by the movie.
George was completely immersed in the film. Although the angle was not good and although the person next to him was a black man, he was already attracted by the film.
There seems to be nothing more wonderful than this in this world.
The whole world seemed to have ceased to exist, leaving only the scene in front of me.
But suddenly, the screen disappeared and the lights came on.
"Hey whats up?!"
According to the rules of the cinema, if the movie is too long, a 15-minute "intermission" must be set aside for people to go to the toilet.
"Hey! Keep going!"
"You can't do this! Hey! Keep playing for me!"
More and more people are clamoring, and they seem to be unable to bear being pulled back from that world to reality.
George also shouted.
This is too much. How can such a visual feast and such an addictive film suddenly have an intermission?
A video like this should be played in one sitting to give people the most complete enjoyment!
The theaters were also at a loss. In the end, they decided to "obey public opinion" and immediately continued to show the second half.
At the end of the film, Sean Connery left an intriguing word "a-man" and then left everyone.
George thought the movie should have ended here, but it didn't.
At the end, Sean Connery walked on the wilderness. This scene played for a full 90 seconds. Then, he walked onto a broken bridge and looked into the distance.
At this time, following his gaze, the camera quickly moved across the wilderness, and then faced the rising sun...
And then, it's over.
There were no songs, no producers, and when the scene was fixed on the newborn sun, everything was over.
There is no name or logo for the film at the beginning, and the ending is so simple, but this film seems to be how it should be.
At this time, George realized that many people had already stood up and lined up in front of the toilet. He also realized that he was also in need of urination. After all, he had been doing this for three hours.
It was finally his turn, and he finally felt much more comfortable. Strangely, when watching the movie, he didn't feel this way at all...
He washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror.
"George... George Lucas, this is the movie you will make in the future, this is the path you will take in the future..."
