When Hal joined the school debate, the problem he had to deal with was not just how to control the knotted tongue, because he fell in love with Jenny Learson, a very talented linguist. Pulled by a mysterious force, Jenny lets the stuttering Hal join the debate and become her partner. When the opportunity came, Hal, who was originally useless, also had a higher pursuit. Britz said: "This story is not limited to speeches and girls, but about how a boy tries to regain control of his life. Because Hal discovered that people always come into his life suddenly. , And then suddenly disappeared, and I had nothing to do about it. In the same way, love came by accident and was exhausted unknowingly. So Hal's stuttering became a very unique expression The form, because it also appears at random, and then makes people feel frustrated--sometimes, Hal can speak fluently, sometimes he starts to stutter, in such a world full of "unknown", Hal feels nothing A sense of security, that's not what he wants, so he wants to change it."
When Hal fell in love with Jenny, he found that he could feel sex and desire wherever he went: at school, students kissed and caressed on the playground; at home, Hal’s mother Juliet and her new boyfriend, Jia Zhi. Pete played fiercely in the kitchen; even his good friend Lewis’s family, Lewis’s parents used cello and piano ensemble to add luster to their ordinary married life. The adults, like Hal, are being confused by the God of Eros again and again, and everyone is lost in love and sexual desire. Faced with the urgent matter of his own romance, Hal still couldn't help but be fascinated by the spectacle of other people coming in and out of love. Britz meditated: "Sometimes I feel that only actors can truly represent a film. The created world, and then the flow of emotions can also naturally occur from the inside out. Therefore, "Rocket Science" only provides a life hypothesis, and does not represent the entire world. The scattered details embodied in Hal are all From his own chaos."
In order to create a world that combines reality and nonsensical comedy, Jeffrey Britz has been working hard to find the memories of the films made by Hal Ashbe during the production of the film, the most famous of which is undoubtedly " Harold and Maude " and " Wealth is Coming ", Britz said: "Ashbay invented a shooting technique that allows him to create a character that creates a sense of absurdity in a spiral manner without letting The audience lost the real concern for the character. Over and over again, he found the perfect balance between humor and true temperament. When writing the script for "Rocket Science", all he thought was Ashbay’s movie."
HBO Films showed a keen interest in cooperating with Geoffrey Britz before the documentary "" officially landed in theaters. Britz and Sean Welch met HBO's Maud Na Maud Nadler--a passionate follower of "", Britz still remembers that it was Nadler who encouraged him to use the experience of participating in debates in high school and suffering from stuttering as a springboard for making a film And the starting point, Britz admitted: "Nadler, it's like an indicator light."
And the producer Effie T. Brown (Effie T. Brown), who had previously produced " Real Women Have Curves " with HBO Films , was also in the "Rocket Science" by Jeffrey Britz. She joined the production team when she was writing the script. When she read the complete story, she was quickly attracted by the distinctive tune in it. Brown said: "Brieze also stuttered when he was young, which made him Become a kind of "unique" ordinary person. It is because of the language barrier that he has the consciousness to pay attention to this aspect. If he can't express himself well and fluently, he will try to slow down as much as possible. This can often give enough time to think about what should be said next, so what I have to say is that this experience has greatly affected Britz’s writing, and he has a strange feeling of humor that is almost evil. Always get ahead of others in thinking and language.
