"The Magic of Belle Isle" represents Rob Reiner (Rob Reiner) and Morgan Freeman (Morgan Freeman) after the 2007 "bucket list" (The Bucket List), which received a great response. The second collaboration, and for each of them, such a story was put on the big screen, but what was carried was their willingness and infinite affection. Leiner admitted: "In the beginning, the script of the film came. The Castle Rock Entertainment Film Company did not receive much attention until after reading the content inside, immediately rushed to inform more people about its existence. Almost everyone who has read the script was caught The weird and interesting characters in the plot were deeply attracted, and then I learned that its author is Guy Thomas, who is not well-known in this industry, so I immediately got in touch with him As we grow older, I have become more and more interested in topics that affirm and embrace life, so I really like the way Thomas presents the character of Mount Wildhorn. He basically doesn’t embrace life anymore. Any expectations, but through the whole summer, he established a kind of close relationship with Charlotte O’Neal and her 3 daughters, which also gave him the desire to live again-really like this. The idea of the story is also the first attempt to excavate in the "bucket list". What is conveyed here is a concept related to'live to death'. No matter what kind of environment and pressure you need to face in this process, you have to Struggling to find a way out and keep going, because this is the only choice that can be made, either completely giving up or bravely accepting all this."
Basically, "The Magic of Belle Isle" revolves entirely around Monte, the character of Morgan Freeman. Rob Lenner said: "At the beginning of the film, Monte was sitting in a wheelchair. He pours his own drink. Obviously he has no hope for the future. He is a writer who has stopped writing. As the story develops, you will see how he got in a wheelchair and how his wife died.It can be said that he was reluctantly taken by his nephew into a small wooden house by the lake to recuperate—then, by establishing contact with the O’Neill family next door, Monte gradually rekindled himself to live. His courage. This is the true emotional excess described in the film. As an old man who has entered the final stage of his life, Monte has too many things to deal with, but he has no motivation to make any changes. The premise of the story of being a basketball player was actually added to the script later, and was not included in the original version of Guy Thomas. In fact, when he had to walk in a wheelchair due to an accident, He originally thought that his life was over, but then he was reborn in the field of writing. However, as his wife also left him, as he said in the film,'All doors are closed Dead, the world collapsed.'Until a little girl named Finnigan broke in and brought a ray of sunshine to Monte’s dark life-in fact, the reason for wanting to tell such a story is to Remind everyone to keep moving forward. People will always experience one or another change in their life, but these are not reasons to give up on oneself. No matter what you encounter, don’t lose hope, because as long as you face it bravely, You can find different pleasures from it, and then start a meaningful life again."
Virginia Madsen (Virginia Madsen) plays Charlotte, a single mother who raises three daughters on her own. Rob Reiner said: “If you start from Charlotte’s point of view, this will change again. It became a story related to salvation. In fact, to a certain extent, she also imprisoned herself in an invisible cage, not knowing how to get out-she had just experienced a very intolerable Divorced, she has to find a way to deal with the different reactions of her three daughters. Now, she and her daughters have moved from New York to her hometown in this lakeside town, and there are already 80 houses here. Many years of history. Maybe it’s because it’s too painful and exhausting. Charlotte just wanted to find a place to hide herself. She didn’t want to open her heart again. She felt that her three daughters were everything to her. When they are there, she has nothing to ask for."
