Chapter 314 Three Questions
"The film uses documentary-style realistic techniques to reproduce the earth-shaking scenes of the Normandy Landing more than 50 years ago. The bloody battlefield is shocking and makes the audience shocked to witness the fierceness and cruelty of the war. However, this movie is not just the blood-stained Omaha Beach. Stephen Spielberg focuses on portraying the relationship between people and the expression of human nature in the war. This is the best war film ever!"
As the opening film of this year's Cannes Film Festival, "Save Private Ryan" has attracted the attention of countless media. Even in Europe, which is far away from Ryan and Spielberg's base camp, it still ushered in heated discussions from the media.
In particular, the French Le Figaro published a large section of related comments.
"The film's performance in the war scenes is very realistic, almost truly recreating the bloody scenes of the battlefield at that time. Many World War II veterans participated in yesterday's opening screening. They gave high praise to the film, calling it "the most realistic video that reflects World War II," especially the spectacular scene of the landing on the beach at Omaha in the film."
"On the other hand, the film explores a problem of humanitarianism in the war. Is it necessary to use the lives of eight people to save a soldier's humanitarian spirit? This improves the film's character as a documentary film, thus digging deeper into the justice and humanitarian spirit in the war."
In addition, the media also focused on the actors, who made the film starring Tom Hanks, and the other protagonist who was not the protagonist was Ryan.
They analyzed Ryan and Tom Hanks one by one from their acting skills in the movie to their roles. Tom Hanks naturally doesn't need to be detailed. His performance in it is obvious to all, especially Wade's crying alone after his death and his instructions to Ryan at the end almost made people see his hope of winning the Oscar winner again.
As for Ryan, his performance during his short appearances has received praise from most media.
"In this movie, Ryan Jenkins shows us a completely different self from the past. The character he plays James Ryan, who seems to be the protagonist but is not the protagonist, has played for less than 40 minutes in total, but it is the main line throughout the film."
"It's very difficult to grasp such a character, especially when there was a two-time Oscar winner standing next to him. But Ryan Jenkins used his own performance to interpret the meaning of the most ordinary soldier. He is ordinary and different from ordinary people. He is loyal to the country, loyal to faith, brave in combat, and fearful when facing danger. This is the Allied soldiers you can see everywhere during World War II."
"Ryan Jenkins' fame and halo are too dazzling, so dazzling that it is hard to doubt that in addition to genius and a handsome young man full of talent, he can also play ordinary and ordinary roles? His interpretation of James Ryan in the movie allows us to see the extraordinary side of this young superstar. He used his most simple acting skills and an ordinary role to prove his excellence to the world."
Perhaps Ryan came to participate in the Cannes Film Festival in person, or perhaps he introduced Luc Besson to Hollywood, and the French media gave him a very rare high evaluation of his performance in this movie.
Of course, compared to the one in his previous life, he definitely deserves such an evaluation.
Originally, the most outstanding role in the movie was not just Captain Miller, but Ryan used his performance in a few scenes to become the second only to Tom Hanks.
Hollywood has brought many big stars and big names this time, and the American media has also gained unprecedented attention to the Cannes Film Festival. You should know that this is the second collaboration between Ryan Jenkins, Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg.
Two of the best actors, plus a great director who is at the peak of his creation, it is difficult not to attract attention.
"This is a movie that should be remembered by the world, and it is a milestone in a war movie."
——The Los Angeles Times
"Although it was a group scene, the actors' performance in it was almost impeccable. Ryan Jenkins and Tom Hanks, especially, gave us a wonderful rivalry."
——The New York Times
This war epic with the main theme can no longer be the main theme has won praise from mainstream media. Although some people are worried that the movie will "extremely promote war and violence", it is just a matter of worrying.
Since he came to Cannes, Ryan would not refuse to cooperate with the organizers to show off in front of the media and the public from time to time. Like other celebrities, walking on the Marina Avenue became the first choice.
Walking onto the Marina Avenue alone, Ryan walked around aimlessly in the afterglow of the sunset, and two bodyguards followed behind in a distance to prevent harassment.
Whenever the Cannes Film Festival arrives, this place becomes a place where celebrities and media have a tacit understanding. Entertainment press will take photos from some distance and rarely take the initiative to harass them. Celebrities will also show themselves in front of the camera.
Not long after Ryan appeared on Binhai Avenue, a large number of reporters gathered around him. At the beginning, these guys were still tacitly understanding and took photos from some distance, but for a while, they were not satisfied. After all, the person in front of him is not an ordinary Hollywood star. He represents too many things. As long as he can take out something from his mouth, the headlines of tomorrow's entertainment version will be settled.
After looking at the two strong white men not far away, the reporters understood that they must be Ryan's bodyguards. In this case, it would be better to be more disciplined when asking questions.
"Mr. Jenkins, I wonder what your impression of Cannes?" Finally, a reporter asked the first sentence.
Looking at the reporter holding the camera, Ryan shook his head and smiled, saying, "You can ask three questions..."
As soon as his words were spoken, the reporters cheered as if they were blown up, and their voices almost attracted the attention of people hundreds of feet away.
"I only answer questions related to "Save Private Ryan"." Ryan added.
Although he was a little disappointed, no matter what, the other party was willing to speak. A reporter spoke very quickly. Before Ryan's words could be completely finished, he asked.
"Ryan, how do you evaluate the movie "Save Private Ryan"?"
His relatively high-quality problem caused his colleagues to glar, which was simply wasting opportunities.
"If you choose to watch only one war movie, then you choose this one." Ryan's words did not disappoint them.
"Do you think it's worth it or not in the movie to save another soldier's life by sacrificing multiple people?" The reporter asked the questions that most people wanted to ask, and all the reporters immediately raised their ears.
"First of all, everyone overlooked one thing. This movie is adapted from the personal experience of a soldier in the 101st Airborne Division. For specific situations, you can ask the screenwriter or director." Ryan was deeply impressed with the essence of the ball.
"Is that worth it?" the reporter asked.
"This is just a story about life and obeying orders. I think it is not necessary to discuss whether it is worth it or not. We should focus our attention on reflecting on that war, reflect on the trauma and pain brought to mankind by war, and cherish the current peace." Ryan said solemnly, "I only wish that the dead will rest in peace, and that the living will be warned."
After saying that, he walked between the two bodyguards and walked towards the hotel without looking back.
"Ryan, this is the second question, there is another one." A reporter shouted from behind.
"Think about it, this is the first question you asked." The two bodyguards separated from the crowd, and Ryan disappeared into the crowd.
"A repeated question is also a problem?" a reporter said depressedly.
"Who made him Ryan? Jenkins, who made him never have to rely on our hype?" Another reporter said helpless words.
Yes, a person who can easily attract the attention of the world by doing whatever he wants and has a net worth of billions of dollars will not care about the media's opinions.
The other party is willing to answer a few questions, which is their luck.
Back in the hotel room, Ryan called New York, and Natalie's crisp voice quickly rang in the earpiece in her ear.
"Ryan, the premiere is over. Are you ready to return to North America?" Perhaps Natalie herself didn't realize that when facing Ryan, her independence would always be much more restrained.
"I'll go back in a few days." Ryan answered vaguely and quickly changed the topic, "Nate, do you think of me?"
"No."
Although she understood what she was thinking, Natalie still said something wrong.
"Then do you miss my finger?"
Natalie's words aroused Ryan's small dissatisfaction, and he immediately fired back.
"Ryan Jenkins!"
It is conceivable that Natalie must have gritted her teeth at this time, "I swear, next time I see you, I will definitely bite off your ears!"
"Oh, my dear." Ryan deliberately changed his exaggerated tone, "It sounds scary, Nat. I'm also planning to go to New York next month to celebrate your seventeenth birthday. It seems that I'm going to reconsider it."
"Stingy." Natalie seemed to know Ryan was joking, muttered, and asked, "When will "Save Private Ryan be released in North America?"
"On the anniversary of Normandy Landing," Ryan reminded, "This is a purely manly movie, and there are indeed many violent and bloody scenes."
"It's okay." Natalie didn't care. "When you come to New York, we'll go to the theater to watch together."
A very smart girl reminds him not to forget to go to New York at that time in this way.
Ryan sighed and simply packed his luggage. His plane was ready to go to Australia overnight.
He had already greeted the organizer, and he was not very interested in the subsequent movies. As for the final awards, he was almost certain that he would not have a chance to stay, so it would be of no interest to him.
