The Greatest Showman - Chapter 198

[197 Approachable]

Rooney smiled brightly, as if breaking the thin ice, the warm spring sunshine fell, and there was a hint of sassy temperament in the greenness, which made people’s eyes shine, and there was a vague sense of immaturity in the calmness. Restless, the fleeting childishness about her was even more childish than Renly looked. “Why wait for a while ?

You can do it now.” Renly’s answer made Rooney stunned, her eyes flashed a little, and she immediately stood up excitedly. After taking two steps, she found Renly. Without following up, she couldn’t help but stop and turn around and beckoned, “Aren’t you going to be together?”

Rooney’s temperament has a Nordic coldness, and she always maintains a certain distance between her gestures. It’s not that it refuses people thousands of miles away, but it does have some cold alienation. But in fact, she is a true American who grew up in New York. When the smile blooms, the warmth that pushes the ice away is amazing.

After saying it, Rooney regretted it a bit. What if the other party refused? But before she could think of a result, Renly’s answer rang out.

“Okay.” Renly didn’t say no, this is Telluride, isn’t it? The Telluride who broke all shackles and barriers, and the Telluride who broke all boundaries and shackles.

Renly took the phone and took a few pictures of Rooney. The young people next to him raised their voices and asked, “Do you need me to take a picture for you?” Renly and Rooney were stunned at the same time. Time didn’t react, and then he realized that they were talking to him, the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous, the two smiled at each other, and then waved their hands together, “No, no.”

Rooney realized at this time When I arrived, my actions were too rash, they didn’t even exchange names, they were complete strangers, “Rooney Mara.”

“Renly Hall.” Renly also chuckled and introduced himself politely. arrive.

“Yes, I know who you are.” Rooney took over her mobile phone, her prudence eased a little, her words became more active, and she pointed to the other side, “I was going to go and look at it. ‘Buried alive’, but the movie theater was full.” She laughed again involuntarily, and that silly smile revealed a kind of innocence, “My friend was fortunate enough to watch this movie in Toronto, and highly recommended it to me when she came back. , in fact, I’m waiting for the 2:30 p.m. screening, right next door.”

This explains Rooney’s original intention of wanting to sit and relax in the cafe.

“At least I’ve seen it.” Renly’s response brought a smile to Rooney’s lips. “Believe me, it’s a movie worth watching, although it’s a little uncomfortable to watch. However, compared to ‘127 , the acceptance level is much more forgiving.”

Rooney’s sister Kate starred in “127 Hours”, and Renly’s sentence was obviously a pun.

Rooney understood at once, without concealing her smile, she chuckled lightly, “The expectation is high enough, and I expect the finished product to not disappoint.”

“Renly, Renly.” The group next to him The young man also recognized Renly at this time, and rushed up, “Your performance is really amazing! It’s amazing! How on earth did you do it? Everything is incredible!”

“Performance.” Lan Li’s answer made everyone stunned, and then they understood the meaning of this sentence. Actors naturally use performance to complete their roles. The irony and banter in it made everyone laugh.

“I mean, you’re only twenty, aren’t you? How the hell do you do it? There’s a soul-stirring depth and authenticity to the performance of the whole movie.”

“Thanks first,” Renly said politely. Bending over and accepting the accolade in such a gentlemanly manner made everyone chuckle again, and Rooney couldn’t help but smile, “Secondly, it’s really a tough challenge to be in this movie. I don’t think I’m capable of doing it. , so I went for the dumbest way to really experience what it’s like to be in a confined space. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, but I was literally in a coffin for eight hours, which obviously helped for a work that was buried alive huge.”

Before coming to Telluride, Andy Rogers and Renly communicated, it was a special occasion, all exchanges were equal, and honesty was a prerequisite for dialogue. So, here’s the best place for Renly to talk about the preparatory process for the show, if anyone brings it up.

“Eight hours?” Rooney exclaimed in surprise.

Renly shrugged lightly, “Idiots use stupid methods.”

Such a mocking response made the laughter ring out again, “So, what does that feel like?” Someone else raised a question.

“I did my best to show it in the movie, it’s my only job.” Renly always spoke with a lighthearted, witty tone that kept the laughter from stopping, “I hope this question is It’s up to the audience to answer, otherwise it’s a dereliction of my job.”

“Just one hundred minutes of the movie I can’t stand it, I refuse to be buried alive in one coffin to die. So, I can’t imagine eight in a coffin. What does it feel like to be an hour? Are you sure the claustrophobia isn’t working?” Someone in the crowd said loudly, drawing everyone’s laughter again.

Immediately, another question was raised, “Renly, so do you think there was a relationship between Paul and Pamela?”

After this question came out, everyone looked at Renly, and Confused Rooney. In the past week, there has been a lot of discussion about “buried alive”, and one of the hot spots is the relationship between Paul and Pamela.

Recalling carefully, when Paul saw the video of Pamela being threatened, his reaction was really too intense; and the relationship between Paul and his wife, his wife’s friends also revealed clues; not to mention when Pamela was shot. , Paul overturned and vomited. All these details imply: Paul seems to have really cheated on Pamela, and the RT company used this as an excuse to fire him, and he does not seem to have been wronged.

This topic has attracted a lot of discussions in the Yahoo community, but now most netizens have not been able to watch the movie and cannot join the discussion. Some people support this view, but more people still oppose it, because the film shows in every aspect, Paul’s persistence and love for family, especially in the last moments, even if it is only for an ethereal possibility, Paul is unwavering Cut off his little finger.

When we were in Toronto before, everyone hadn’t thought about this, and missed the opportunity to ask; now we’re finally able to talk face-to-face with Renly.

Renly smiled and said calmly, “Is this important?”

This unexpected answer made everyone stunned, and then someone responded and asked back, “Isn’t it important?”

“Then According to what you mean, if Paul and Pamela really had an affair, would the rt company do the right thing?” Renly answered with a rhetorical question again, and several voices suddenly rang out from the crowd, impulsively wanting to give Sure, but the words swirled a few times on the tip of the tongue, and finally swallowed them all, leaving only a buzzing commotion.

“But!” The restlessness in the crowd still didn’t stop. People wanted to argue, but couldn’t say what was wrong.

Renly glanced around with a smile, paused for a moment, and then said, “Assuming that Paul and Pamela developed a friendship as colleagues, then, let’s see, what facts in the movie have changed ?”

“His wife…” If Paul cheated, he would be ashamed of his wife and his family, but this is only a moral condemnation, and cannot be a reason for him to be buried alive. Nor should his son lose his father.

“The company…?” According to the timeline of the movie, the company didn’t show up at all before, but waited until Paul was trapped for several hours before they found the “evidence”, and then fired Paul. As for the so-called Paul had already been fired that morning, which is pure nonsense. In other words, they were just looking for evidence to save insurance money, or even further, fabricated evidence. What matters is not cheating / cheating, but they need an excuse to fire Paul. If cheating is a fact, they get a handle, if not, they make a handle.

As Renly said, cheating / cheating is never the point. All the rt company needs is a pretext.

“But that doesn’t mean he’s right.” The crowd shouted.

Renly nodded, “No one said he was right. But here’s the problem. Under the game of the country, under the competition of interests, personal safety has never been important. Paul’s right or wrong is right for him. The ending will not have any impact. But do you realize that your focus of attention has inevitably shifted to whether or not you have cheated? What does this mean?” It

shows that people are ignorant and easy to shift. The focus is because they, like Paul, are independent individuals, and they cannot consider issues at the collective level, and they must be more concerned about the interests of individuals. This also means that when they encounter a crisis, they will also be abandoned like Paul.

The turbulent reflection made the turbulent crowd quiet for a while.

Rooney’s voice was a little weak, but it came out clearly, “Seventy years ago, the German writer Eremarque wrote ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’; seventy years later, we are still Made the same mistake.”

Renly turned to look at Rooney, a flash of surprise flashing in his eyes. The core of the theme of “All Quiet on the Western Front” can be organized into one sentence: in the face of national interests, individuals are the objects of being used, hypnotized, deceived, and sacrificed, while the people are always ignorant, easily fooled, and repeat the same mistakes again and again. This coincided with what Renly had just stated.

The “Buried Alive” script obscures the truth about Paul and Pamela’s relationship, and that’s what it’s deeply intended to do.

“So, Renly, do you think something really happened between Paul and Pamela?” Some people in the crowd asked with doubts.

Renly said with a smile, “I think neither Paul nor Pamela should have died, but they both did.”8
