Grogen, who had been in prison for 15 years for robbery, was released after serving his sentence and was driving on the highway. In a hurry to escape police surveillance, Grogan speeded and fell off a cliff. The four cars behind immediately pulled over and stopped, trying to help him.
In his dying breath, Grogan told the five motorists: 15 years ago, he buried $350,000 under a big "W" sign in Santa Rosita State Park. So a money-robbing farce that requires four "mad" characters to describe it first started with dentist Melville Crump; furniture mover Lennie Pike; going to Las Vegas The two friends Ding Bell and Benjay Benjamin on the road in Sis; and the business owner J. Russell Finch between the five motorists and their families.
This is the Stanley Kramer directed the movie "Mad Mad World" (IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD).
At the beginning of 1960, the British screenwriter William Rose conceived a movie about the pursuit of a Scottish comedy (tentatively named "So Many Thieves", and later renamed "A Little Seriously"). After the script was formed, he sent an outline to Kramer, a famous American director at the time. Kramer agreed to produce and direct the film, but the story needs to be in the United States, and the name of the film was changed to "IT'S A MAD WORLD." ".
Let us continue back to the movie.
After listening to Grogan's last words, the first thing the four groups discussed was to act together, but there was never a unified opinion on how to allocate the money. No matter what the plan was, some people would think it was unfair. They decided to act separately, the first to dig, the first to serve.
Under the temptation of 350,000 US dollars, they forgot that Grogan was just a stranger and forgot their original plan. Everyone became an irrational and money-driven animal. In order to reach the destination first, this group of people began to cross the sea with the Eight Immortals-each showing their magical powers. The furniture mover Lenney’s moving vehicle broke down, and apart from anything else, he ran on the highway on the little girl’s bicycle:
Dinbell and Benjamin, who had no flying experience, left their own safety behind and tried to reach Santa Rosita State Park with the fastest means of transportation:
Business owner Russell Finch’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Marcus, is a bold, snobbery, and non-stop giving orders. Her exaggerated movements and arrogant posture provide a lot of jokes for this movie. Along the way, Mrs. Marcus kept trying to call her son who lived near Santa Rosita State Park and asked him to dig out the money before everyone arrived.
Unexpectedly, my son and his girlfriend were playing at home so much that they never answered the phone.
After the son received the call, he thought that his mother had been bullied, and while crying, he drove to find his mother:
The news that $350,000 was buried under the ground of Santa Rosita State Park spread along with the frenzied chasing of the crowd. The owner of the rider with glasses, the British gentleman who traveled to the United States, and the taxi driver. . . . . . More and more people are joining the chase. A crowd of people did not expect that all their actions were under the surveillance of the local police station. In order to successfully recover the money, the police chief who was about to retire also decided to join the chasing team. Unexpectedly, the fake act was done, and he eventually did it. Become a member driven by money.
After the filming was over, Stanley Kramer found that one "MAD" was not enough to reflect the madness and weirdness of this nearly three-hour farce. He even added three other "MADs" in one breath. It is said that he had considered whether to add The fifth "MAD" is added.
Such a crazy farce is not a difficult and difficult art movie, nor will it find thought-provoking metaphors, and it will not have the affection of earning tears, but its exaggerated performance techniques and superb control rhythm make "Crazy World" "This film was promoted as "the first film of a single-projector panoramic film", won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing, and was nominated for the Oscar for its original songs in color films, film clips, recordings, music scores and title songs .
