What's real

About a dog and Bruce Willis' beard.

The scenery at the Cannes ceremony was human-like, but there was a lot of bitterness behind it. Sandwich biscuits are not pleased on both sides, but we have to please both sides. Seeing people talking, looking at ghosts talking nonsense, and smiling when angry are all insincere without thinking. When one person talks to N people at the same time, everyone has to take care of it, but it is impossible for everyone to take care of it. In the end, he was fooled by the director, demoted by the boss, and dumped by his wife. What a desperate middle-aged producer.

Love Robert De Niro, the young gangster from "Once Upon a Time in America". The master's handling of this role is unusual. Such a busy and desperate situation does not use panic and hysteria to express it, but uses a kind of extraordinary calmness and almost numb skill to face various situations. Everything is not strange, the feelings are no longer strong, all things are just soldiers coming to block water and soil. This numbness increases the feeling of helpless despair.

Sometimes that's real life.

What Just Happened quotes

  • Scott Solomon: Too bad about Jack, huh?

    Ben: That's rare. Usually agents kill others, not themselves.

  • Ben: [discussion about Bruce Willis] I suppose it took him a long time to grow it, he probably just wants to wait 'til the last minute.

    Cal: That's what I thought last week, but after seeing him today, I got the sense this is going to be his "look", it's an artistic-choice...

    Ben: The extra weight is too? It can't be.

    Cal: It's a feeling.

    Ben: Cal, we got the studio to pay him $20 million to be a leading man. For that kind of money there is an expectation.

    Cal: They expect a good performance...

    Ben: No, no, no no, Cal. For that kind of money they expect millions of menstruating women to want to have intercourse with him. You understand what I'm saying? You want a poster that says "See Santa Run"?
