You forget your life, but you remember the movie
The director of this film, Darabont, is no stranger to everyone. In his unproductive artistic career, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Miracle on the Green Mile" can be said to be the pinnacles, and this "Life in Film" It is a story of a bizarre amnesiac movie screenwriter, which indirectly...

This kind of pipeline theme movie should not have such a high score! The effect of the final court speech was mediocre. I couldn't bear the slow rhythm of Brother Darabont, but I decided to give three points to the main theme of the domestic production, because they dared to admit their mistakes and dared to face the former McCarthy!

Cinephile tribute, old Hollywood, American spirit, there are nominations everywhere, but it's really too full... And if the ending is to criticize McCarthy, the "amnesia" setting is really ridiculous (I thought it was "McCarthy" as the The fantasy love story in the background = =) I like it at the end: "You have already given your name, do you want to know who mentioned you?" [Problem] But when I think of Jim Carrey's hope to prove his identity through this series of films, it's a little bit sad

Peter Appleton: I'm sorry... but it occurs to me that there is a bigger issue today than whether or not I'm a Communist.
Elvin Clyde: Bigger issue? Mr. Appleton, there 'is' no bigger issue.
Peter Appleton: Actually, not to be contrary, I think there is... Gosh, I don't quite know what to say.
[Peter takes a drink of water]
Peter Appleton: The fact is I... I've never been a man of great conviction. I never saw the percentage in it... and quite frankly, I suppose I, uh... lacked the courage. See, I'm not like Luke Trimble. He had the market cornered on those things. I never met the guy, but I feel like I've gotten to know him. The thing is, I can't help wondering what he'd say... if he were standing here right now. You know, I think what I think he'd probably tell you: the America represented in this room... is not the America he died defending.

Peter Appleton: If he 'were' here, I wonder how you'd respond... if you could explain to him what happened to his America.
Congressman Doyle: Mr. Appleton, you are skating on the very thin edge of contempt.
Peter Appleton: Well that's the first thing I've heard today that I completely agree with!
Kevin Bannerman: Mr. Chairman... Mr. Chairman... Mr. Chairman... Mr. Chairman, my client is clearly under an enormous strain as a direct result of the belligerent questioning of Mr. Clyde, and he is therefore not responsible for his comments. At this time, we wish to invoke the Fifth Amendment.

Studio Executive: What about the kid?
Studio Executive: What kid?
Studio Executive: You know, the kid who rings the bell.
Studio Executive: What kid? What bell? What are you talking about?
Studio Executive: The kid. After the mine caves in. The kid. He runs up the hill. He rings the bell to alert the town.
Studio Executive: Is that in the script? What page are we on?
Studio Executive: What if we gave the kid - a disease.
Studio Executive: A disease?
Studio Executive: A *disease*. Braces on the legs, that sort of thing.
Studio Executive: But he runs up the hill.
Studio Executive: He could hobble.
Studio Executive: Hobble is good.
