Real people and real things in history

Because of the narration "the story is pretty much all true" in the film, I found out the information from that year on the Internet and found that the story of the male police officer and the waitress was not groundless. The film was shot in 1994 and the scene was selected in Queens, New York. In fact, this is the place where Andrew Bergman, the director of the film, was born. This is also the reason why Asian and African Hispanics run across the streets in the film. Even the taxi drivers are Middle Eastern. Male police officer Charlie Lang used his wife Muriel’s birthday and wedding anniversary to buy a set of lottery numbers, but accidentally chose the wrong number and won the first prize. He who didn't expect to win the lottery accidentally visited a coffee shop and met Yvonne Biasi, a married hapless female clerk. Because he didn't bring enough money, Lang promised to use the lottery ticket as a tip. If he wins the lottery, the two will be divided equally. Unexpectedly, they won the first prize of 4 million U.S. dollars. Since then, the two men and women have started a love affair with each other as a junior. Just looking at this beginning is a far cry from history. The real lottery story happened in 1984 in Yonkers, New York. There are not so many complicated emotional disputes because the protagonists are all uncles and aunts. The male police officer Robert Cunningham was 55 years old, his wife Gina was 50 years old, and the female clerk Phyllis Penzo was unknown, but she had been working in a pizza restaurant for 24 years, and she would be 40 or 50 years old if she wanted to come. By 1984, the male police officer had been corrupt in this pizzeria for eight years, and the female clerk had evening shifts six days a week. These two men could be said to be too familiar. One day in March, the male police officer was studying the lottery while having a meal in the shop. On a whim, the female clerk asked the female clerk to help her choose the number, so the two of them whispered and wrote 3 numbers each to make up one bet. The male police officer laughed and said that she won half of the number for winning the lottery. tip. Soon, April 1st arrived. At 9 o'clock that morning, the female clerk and her wife were having a dream, and a phone call woke her up. On the phone, the male police officer told her that the lottery ticket had won 6 million U.S. dollars and he wanted to share it with her. It is conceivable that in such a magical day, whoever believes is a fool. The sleepy waitress is no exception. But in the end, the male police officer persuaded her, so she screamed and beat her husband to awake, sharing the cheating news with him. Fortunately, the male police officer did not deceive. In the end, the two families happily shared the 6 million US dollars. The bonus was paid in 21-year installments, and each family could get 14. $30,000. In fact, the original salary of a male police officer was not low, 30,000 US dollars a year (messy kids! That was 1984!), afterwards he said that he was a simple person all my life (I've been a simple person all my life) , He didn't want to change himself because of money. In fact, he and the female shop assistants are indeed very simple. In interviews, they all said that serving the people is a great, glorious and correct revolutionary cause. Although they are rich and live a good life, they do not forget their roots and are willing to continue to serve the people. , You will be your little police officer, and I will be my waiter. Uniform is the greatest contribution to the people. Surprisingly, his wife didn't even complain. The male police officer told his wife that this lottery ticket must be given to an old girl, fifty-five. Then his wife agreed. From this point of view, the image of a cruel gold worshiper portrayed in the film greatly vilified the original character. No wonder the ending subtitles are marked "The persons and events portrayed in this production are fictitious. No similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is intended or should be inferred." Originally, I was surprised when I saw this passage, is it right? What about real people? After I checked it, I realized that this movie was just put on the audience's bed in pajamas of history. The more you take it off, the happier the audience will be. PS: The above history has been reported by the media in 1984. Newspapers and magazines such as "New York Times", "People", and "Time" all have original texts available for examination. There is even a short paragraph on Oprah’s website, and I don’t know if she has been on her show. ve been a simple person all my life), he does not want to change himself because of money.
