Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Before this, Matthew had never watched the video, nor did he know what the film would look like. He just speculated that a famous director like Ridley Scott would definitely not be shot completely according to the original work, and something that belongs to him would inevitably be added to it.

This is true. Ridley Scott obviously has his own perspective in the film, which is the "feeling of robe" that has been repeatedly emphasized in the film.

During this operation, the US military originally launched a raid to hunt down the militia leader Aidid, but because the news was inaccurate, it was surrounded by Somali militias. Due to the inappropriate tactics, the number of soldiers in need of rescue continued to increase.

Ridley Scott basically cut off the overall tactical issues, and naturally he would not show the view of the Somali militia. He mainly took a mirror and how the US soldiers rushed towards the besieged troops regardless of their safety in the rain of bullets. The soldiers from the highest command to the front line firmly held the belief that "no robes will be abandoned." Even the corpse must be saved.

Of course, this may also be Jack Brookheimer's masterpiece. After all, Ridley Scott does not have the final editing rights, and in the current social situation, such content can be accepted by the public to the greatest extent.

Matthew is just an ordinary actor in the crew, very far away from the crew's decision-making level. These are all speculations when watching the video and combining the current social and political environment.

Perhaps only Ridley Scott and Jerry Brookheimer knew what the truth was.

At the end of the film, Matthew saw his role in a deep conversation with Josh Nehart.

"We are working hard for our brothers, it's that simple!"

Sergeant Hutt's line once again highlights the theme of the entire film.

This is not an anti-war movie, at least Matthew doesn't think it is a so-called anti-war movie after watching it.

"If you look like this..." He looked at the close-up of Sergeant Hut, who he played on the screen, muttering in his heart, "My acting skills are not bad either!"

In order to take this shot, he automatically ignored it so many times before and after.

The ending subtitles appeared on the screen. Matthew recalled briefly that compared to the thousands of shots taken by Ridley Scott, the film only used a small part, and Sergeant Hutter and other Delta players later returned to the battlefield were all cut.

The plot of the movie ends when the rescue troops arrive at the stadium, but the script and the original work have not ended here.

Especially in the original work, there is a detailed description of what happened later. The Somali militia captured Mike Durant, the Black Hawk helicopter pilot, and planned to use him to exchange for the captured Somali prisoners, but when they were about to take Mike Durant to their village, they were robbed by local robbers on the way. These robbers robbed Mike Durant and wanted to use him to exchange for ransom.

Mike Durant was sent to a house and interrogated and slapped in front of a video camera. The videotape was later sent to CNN to play in the United States together with a videotape of Somalis insulting the U.S. body, causing an uproar, causing the Zipperton administration to withdraw its troops.

On the Somali militia, after Aidid paid Mike Durant's ransom, Mike Durant was transferred to the residence of Minister Aidid's Propaganda. Five days later he was visited by a representative of the International Red Cross and interviewed by British and French journalists, and then ten days later he exchanged with Aidid officials captured by the U.S. military, returning home and being welcomed by heroes.

The plot of the original work ends here.

However, Matthew also knew that the film was different from the text and could not be stuffed into too much content. Ridley Scott and Jerry Brookheimer must have a choice.

Mark Bowton's original work also interviewed many Somalis, and many of them were viewed from the perspective of Somalis, but they were all abandoned.

After all, this is an American movie or a war movie that received help from the Pentagon.

There was warm applause in the screening room. Matthew stood up and applauded with the other members of the crew, not talking about the messy background and current affairs and political issues. From the perspective of the movie alone, at least he thought it was a very wonderful war movie.

If he was asked to judge by himself, he felt that he could be classified as the classic, although the criteria for judging classics were more based on popcorn films.

Afterwards, many guests, media reporters and film critics came to the front row to have a simple exchange with the crew.

Matthew was naturally not in the ranks of exchanges, and was basically watching, and even did not attend the preview press conference later. The actor only went to Josh Hartnett and William Fidner, and even Johnny Lee Miller and Orlando Bloom did not enter the news room.

This has something to do with the style of the film. After watching the film, even if Matthew's professional level is not very high, it can be seen that the actors and characters have a very low presence in "Black Hawk Down".

Even in the fierce battle scenes and the streets and alleys of Mogadishu, we can only see fully armed American soldiers, and we can't tell who is who.

Although Ridley Scott specifically asked the props to mark the character's name on the corresponding helmet during the shooting, it was not at all easier to recognize than the actor's face covered by gunpowder and camouflage.

"Fortunately..." Matthew was quite moved when he left the Passanadi Theater, "My last close-up face is quite clear."

But he vaguely felt that this seemed to be of little use. Ridley Scott and Jerry Brookheimer decided for the film, obviously chose to be on the matter rather than on the person, that is, to express the entire process of the event in a relatively complete way, without focusing on the creation of individual internal characters. Although the main body of each US military unit in the film has at least one main character, such as Sergeant Hutter, the character and background of these characters are not emphasized.

To be precise, this is a war movie that shows the overall US military and relatively ignores individuals.

Perhaps because he has been accustomed to watching other people's performances through videotapes for a long time, it is difficult for Matthew to watch movies from a pure audience like he used to, and he will always unconsciously analyze them, even if he knows that these so-called analyses are superficial.

There is nothing we can do about this, his professional level is still very limited at present.

When he got home, Matthew updated his blog as soon as possible, wrote a blog post about "Black Hawk Down", and put a few posters of Sergeant Hut's role as he played, and then uploaded it to his personal blog.

The number of followers on his blog is not more than 10,000, and his publicity effect is relatively limited. Most of the people who come to follow him are also because of "The Scorpion King".

Matthew was not in a hurry, knowing that it is not the future, and fans of this kind of online social media need to accumulate slowly, and then when the time comes, a big explosion may occur.

In the following time, he participated in several media conferences of "Black Hawk Down", trial and preview, and also accepted interviews from several reporters, and also appeared in some newspapers, especially the role of Sergeant Hute, who was finally pretending to be a deep close-up, and was used by media websites from time to time, which also attracted a lot of popularity.

Universal Pictures and the crew of "The Scorpion King" also took this opportunity to launch a round of publicity offensive, frequently linking Scorpion King's posters with Sergeant Hut's images.

Matthew was wandering around between the two crews, but he also got some pages in the media.

On the other hand, his idea of ​​going to the Lord of the Rings crew to catch the popularity was not realized. Orlando Bloom called and told him that he had not received the premiere invitation.

Matthew didn't care. He could get the best of this kind of popularity, but he wouldn't get it.

In contrast, he paid more attention to the roles in "The Scorpion King" and "The Black Hawk Down".

"The Scorpion King" is in post-production. According to his knowledge, post-production has begun, but he cannot intervene in post-production. Not to mention him, even director Chuck Russell has not participated in post-production.

"Black Hawk Down" began to premiere in five theaters in Los Angeles. Due to the limited release scale, the attendance rate is quite considerable. What is more eye-catching than the attendance rate is the professional evaluation of the film.

Whether it is a film critic or a professional media, the evaluation of "Black Hawk Down" is basically positive.

Matthew has seen a lot of positive comments in newspapers and magazines.

"Black Hawk Landing is not a simple anti-war movie. Ridley Scott directed it as a documentary, which truly reproduced the long day and night in Mogadishu, Somalia. Whether it is the various mentalities of the American soldiers when facing desperate situations or the close-ups of armed violence against urban cities, its outrageous authenticity and the profound significance behind it are destined to be a unique war film in film history!"

The film's excellent reputation also made Sony Columbia Pictures vigorously promote and promote the Oscars. Their plan to make this film hit the Oscar is very obvious.

Some film critics even suggested that the history channels of various TV stations use this film instead of related documentaries, believing that in comparison, the description of "Black Hawk Down" is more accurate and detailed.

Compared to the film itself, the actors received much less attention. Not to mention Matthew, a supporting role that is not ranked high, even the male protagonist Josh Hartnett has not received much praise from the media.

The plot of this film completely surpasses the actors.

Perhaps critics and many viewers like to see this situation, but for actors like Matthew, this is not a good phenomenon.

Fortunately, even if the role is relatively flat, if "Black Hawk Down" can make a difference in the box office market and Oscars, it can still become a brilliant qualification for many major actors.
Chapter completed!
