He reached out to touch the cigarette and lighter on his body, lit the cigarette, and spit out smoke, then he got up, put on a white vest, shaved in front of the mirror, and tied his shoelaces.
Clayton pushed the door and walked out of a house built with an old car. He is tall and full of youthful charm. Clayton walked to a small truck next to the house, and at the same time hit the sandbag under the eaves with his hand. At this moment, he is preparing to go to James Weir's home.
Clayton drove along the coast. The car passes through different scenes by the sea.
Interior view·Day·James Villa The
car slowly drove into the green residential area. Clayton got out of the car and removed the weeding tool from the car. James stood in the room, looking at the healthy and handsome young man in front of him, with an expression of admiration in his eyes.
Hannah, the housekeeper, walked from the kitchen to the living room with the breakfast tray in her hand. James was talking with his friend, Dai Wei, who is also a doctor.
Hannah: "He has a doctor. But she can only make trouble. I don't like it, neither does Mr. James. If you can come again, Mr. Dai Wei." Then she put the tray on the table.
Dai Wei: "Stop talking, Hannah. Call New York if you have anything." As he said, he took out his business card from his pocket and gave James.
The camera cuts, James is standing by the window in the living room. I heard Hannah say: "James, do you want coffee?"
James didn't react for a while, and asked: "What?" When he turned around a little bit, he saw James and David brewing coffee.
James: "Just half a cup, Hannah." He walked towards Hannah and Mr. Dai Wei, "What did Hannah say to you?"
Hannah turned and left. James and Dai Wei talked.
Dai Wei: "She said you didn't sleep well recently."
James: "It's all because of the pills they prescribed. Every time I take it, I turn into a stone the next day. If I don't eat it, my head seems to be separated again. "
Dai Wei suggested: " Stay on taking medicine."
James was holding a cup and preparing to drink coffee: "Well then. You came very suddenly today. I rarely see you even in the hospital."
Dai Wei spreads out his hands. , Showing a helpless look: "Sorry, this movie is too troublesome, and those stars..."
James: "I'm not blaming you. Go, go."
Dai Wei got up and walked to James's side and paused. For a while, then leaned down and kissed James' lips. James hugged his waist, Dai Wei hugged his head, and they hugged each other.
Dai Wei looked at some famous paintings on the four walls: "I like those paintings very much." He turned and left, saying, "Goodbye Hanna."
Hannah rushed out of the kitchen, eager to open the door for Mr. Dai Wei: "I'll open the door. ."
James walked to the window again and watched Clayton start the lawn mower motor. A thick puff of smoke from the weeder. James looked confused and couldn't help falling into thought. The scene before him reminded him of the past.
The camera cut, a face of James when he was young. He watched the smoke coming out of a freighter about to depart from the port, and the sirens sounded loudly.
James stood by the window with his eyes blurred, watching Clayton weeding.
Hannah walked into the living room, planning to clean up the cups and plates on the table.
James: "Who is the new lawn mower?"
Hannah: "It's called cloth. I don't remember clearly. It starts with Clayton. You hired him when you were hospitalized. His salary is very high. Low."
Location·Day·Lawn
Clayton was mowing the lawn while pushing the lawnmower. James walked towards Clayton on crutches.
James: "Good morning! I am James. This is my house. You are..."
Clayton stopped his work: "Clayton Boone."
James: "I saw you at a glance Tattoos. What do you mean by'I would rather die than surrender'?"
Clayton looked at the tattoo on his arm. "It means I'm a Marine."
James suddenly realized, "Oh, Marine. You served in Korea.
Right ?" Clayton shrugged, suddenly embarrassed.
James looked at him intently. Clayton lowered his eyes: "I have to work."
James: "After finishing work, you can use the pool to cool off. You don't need to be restrained here, don't worry about bathrobe or something."
Clayton: "I will pay this afternoon. There is another job."
James: "Then let's do it later. Let's do it!" After speaking, he looked up and down Clayton, then turned and left.
Clayton shook his head thoughtfully and pushed up the lawn mower again.
Interior View·Day·James Studio
James walked along the swimming pool to his studio, which was dimly lit, as if no one had been here for a long time. The furniture was covered with white dust-covering cloth. James pushed the door in and looked around slowly. He walked to the window, rolled up the curtains, and let the clear sunlight in. He turned around and threw the withered flowers on the floor from the vase on the table. He walked to the oil painting stand again, took off the white cloth covering it, and sat down on the chair.

James didn't look back: "I have class tonight." The
mother took two steps forward and said in a cold tone: "Don't dream, you are not painting. Painting material." As he said, he patted James' arm with the rag in his hand.
James turned and stood up: "Maybe, Mom." He glanced at his mother and turned to leave.
Looking at his back, his mother muttered to herself: "'Maybe?' Jimmy Will, who do you think you are?" She said, walking to James' table, picking up the painting that James drew, and carefully Take a closer look. (Cut)
Interior·Morning·James House
James stood alone in front of the big mirror, staring at himself in the mirror: "Jimmy Will." He muttered to himself. Then he picked up a comb and combed his silver hair carefully. He put down his comb, straightened his tie and clothes, and said to Hannah as he went out, "Is there any ice tea?"
Hannah was sitting at the dining table preparing a hearty breakfast, and she replied without looking back. Yes, Mr. Jimmy." James walked to her and looked at the table full of food. "There are sandwiches!"
Hannah cut a piece of ham and stuffed it into her mouth, and said excitedly: "Who is coming to visit, It's like a long-lost reunion, it's really exciting!"
James disagreed: "It's nothing but a college student." At
this time the doorbell rang, and Hanna wiped her hands and got up to open the door. (Cut)

James sat down on the sofa, opened a book, placed it on his lap, and waited for the visit of the guests.
Hannah led in a young man with a restrained manner. "Mr. Kay is here."
James didn't look up. He pretended to be studying attentively, but said "Uh". It wasn't until the young man came to him that he stood up suddenly awake and said, "I forgot, the tea friend has come."
Kay stretched out his hand very excitedly: "Mr. James, this is really an honor. You are my most respected director. It’s incredible to see you."
James: "It’s nothing."
Kay looked at the house curiously: "This is your home? Frankenstein's home? I thought you lived. In the villa."
James: "Some people like to be quiet."
Hannah stood aside, silent.
Kay continued: "Understand, life is not a movie." Then he recited Frankenstein's famous line in a weird tone: "Love death, hate survival."
Then he laughed wildly: "This is my favorite. The lines are from your movie "Frankenstein"."
James smiled: "Really?"
Kay: "Yes!"
James hesitated for a moment, and transferred his words: "Hannah, bring the tea to the pool. Okay." Then he turned his head to Kai: "Do you like it, Mr. Kai?"
Kai happily accepted: "Of course:
Hannah showed an unbelievable expression.
Kai: "Let's go. I love movies. Yours is the best. The haunted house, the invisible man, is so good-looking. "They said, and went out.
Hannah shook her head and went to prepare tea.

" Everything. "Kay said with interest, "Let's start from the beginning." "
James: "I was born in London. He is the only son of a principal. The grandfather is a priest. "
Kay's pen quickly remembered on the notepad. James said, lost in memory. (Cut)
Location·Day·Church The
church bell rang, and the young James was dumbfounded by the church. Father and mother were walking in the run-down and crowded alley.
The mother turned around and urged: "Hurry up, Jimmy! We are going to be late."

young Jimmy had to start running. They were walking hurriedly in a dilapidated alley, and his father kept urging from behind: "Don't drag. People will laugh at you: (cut)
Outside scene·Day·Swimming pool
James is lost in thought.
Kay raised his head with interest:” Mr. James, your father is the principal? "
James turned back from a daze. "Yes, that's right. I was going to Oxford to go to school, but then the war broke out and I didn't go there. You can't imagine the situation at that time. London in the 1920s was terrible. I will draw with a pen to design the stage background for people. "
At this moment, Hannah came over with tea. She put the tea on the table.
James: "Whatever you want. Homemade sandwiches. Thanks Hannah, you can go now. "
Hannah turned away.
Kai picked up the sandwich into his mouth.
James:" There is a film called "end of the journey" is the description of the war. All the famous directors are not optimistic about it, so I volunteered. At that time, unlike now, Hollywood has not yet appeared. "
He paused, put the cup on the table.
Kay:" Since when has horror film? "
James: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kay, are you only interested in horror movies?" "
Kay: "No. But you are unforgettable because of the horror movie. "
James said angrily: "I'm not dead yet!" "
Kay said at a loss: "No, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong." So, let's talk about your situation in Hollywood. "
James did not answer his question immediately, but put forward his own thoughts: "I have a suggestion. This method of questioning is too old, don't you think?"
Kay: "I don't mind."
James: "But I Mind. I have a new idea and I can answer all the questions. But for every answer, you take off a piece of clothing."
Kai shook his body coyly, rather shy: "You are so funny, Mr. James."
James "Of course. I like this idea. Okay?"
Kay: "It seems that the rumor is true."
James: "What rumor?"
Kay: "You were forced to retire because of a sexual scandal."
James "You mean a homosexual scandal?" He said as he took out his cigar from his pocket, "Do you need me to answer this question? Then you have to take off your shoes and socks."
Kay: "You filthy bad Old man." He smiled helplessly and shook his head, preparing to take off his shoes and socks.
James started smoking: "Only you are interested in the problems of the elderly. I like young people."
James lowered his head and watched Kai Zheng slowly take off his shoes and socks.
Kay sat up straight, tapped the notebook with his pen, looking forward to James' answer.
James solemnly said: "No, there is no such rumor, absolutely not. Maybe you want to know more?"
Kay frowned suspiciously, and blinked.
James: "Then you have to take off your jacket."
Kay began to take off his coat helplessly: "It's so hot anyway."
James: "You should know what Hollywood was like 20 years ago. When you are famous, no one No matter who you sleep with, as long as you don’t report it. If it’s the director... no one will know. People don’t even know who George Gu Ke is, not to mention these things.”
James said, starting point. cigar.
Kay: "You mean George Gu Ke? That's the great director who cultivated stars?"
James put the cigar in his mouth, lit it, and said, "Take off your shirt, and I'll tell you."
Kay hesitated to put his pen and notepad on the table and began to take off his tights.
James: "George had a Saturday dinner party, attended by writers, artists, and celebrities. They were all big figures in Hollywood at the time. But few people would expect that in the future, they were messing around in the pool and making a mess. "
Kay once again puzzled frown, did not seem interested in this topic. "Can you talk about horror movies now?"
James took a few cigarettes: "Of course. What do you want to know?"
Kay: "You can tell me, you can remember all of Frankenstein's movies Is the situation?"
Seeing that he did not respond, Kai asked, "Is this a problem?"
James waved his hand: "Of course!"
Kai stood up wittily, looked around, and began to take off his trousers. While saying: "I don't know what I'm doing."
At this time, only a pair of underwear was left on his body.
He twisted his body and joked to himself: "I'm like this, as if I'm going swimming." After speaking, he sat down again.
James: "Or after asking the question, you can go for a swim, I won't. This swimming pool is useless."
Kay grabbed his pen and notepad again. He put his arm on the table, paying attention: "So, who will deal with makeup and facial
features ?" James: "My idea. From me." As he said, he gestured to his face. "Heavy eyebrows, flat top. You can take your head out and put it in a jar."
Kay noted all this with great interest, and smiled: "He is the representative of this century and has beaten Mona Lisa."
James was a little angry. : "Forget it. This is just a movie, not much."
At this time, the cigar slipped from his fingertips to the ground.
"Why do you shoot the male protagonist as a monster?"
James leaned down to pick up a cigar.
Kay continued: "He has never been in a play before."
James lowered his head and said nothing.
Kay was a little nervous and concerned: "Mr. James, are you uncomfortable?"
James touched his head with his hands, and slowly straightened up, his head hung weakly, his hands clasped on the table, his breath was difficult. "I'm sorry, Mr. Kay."
Kay was a little anxious: "Are you okay?"
James raised his head with a painful expression on his face: "I seem to be a little bit..." Then, he stood up with difficulty, "I I have to lie down, there is a bed over there."
Kay also stood up, supporting James with both hands: "What's wrong with you? Is it a heart problem?"
James said, "No, it's a headache."
At this time, Hannah was pregnant. With a pile of medicine in it, he hurriedly ran out of the house and ran to the pool. They helped James into the house. (Cut)

Hannah took the water, handed it to James, and helped him take the medicine.
James opened his eyes and touched his head with his hand. After drinking his saliva, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Kay, you are not dressed."
Kay shyly covered his body with his hands: "I Ready to go swimming."
Hannah had a suspicious look in her eyes.
James: "Of course. Maybe you should go home."
Kay turned and left. Hannah shook her head and took the water glass from James. James touched his head: "You must find me annoying."
Hannah: "I don't care anymore. After returning from the hospital, you start chasing boys."
James: "Don't say that, we are just Just chat together."

James: "That's because you have seen these paintings. That Dutch still life sketch is Works 300 years ago. There are also a few Rembrandt."
Clayton: "I understand, it is a copy."
James: "Before retiring, I was thriving and became popular for a while. Tell me, do you like movies? ? "
Clayton:" Of course, no one likes how, you are an actor.? "

Clayton: "Are you saying you want to paint me?"
James: "I will because I pay for painting your head."
Clayton: "It's just the head, nothing else?"
James: "Are you saying that if I paint more hands or something, I will add more money?"

Hannah went out and left. James picked up two bottles of wine: "Let's drink some bar first. You can take your time today. Because you are the first time."
James opened the bottle and poured the wine. Clayton sat down beside him.
Clayton: "Your movie will be shown tomorrow."

Clayton: "Why don't you take a photo, you can keep it for a longer time."
James: "That's the purpose of my painting."
Clayton is a little unnatural.
James: "You have to look like a doctor, and you must stay still during the examination."
James continued to paint, suddenly as if he smelled a special smell: "Barbecue."
Clayton said puzzledly, "Huh?"
James: "Have you ever eaten barbecue? Just marinate the meat and other ingredients in a jar and add some spices."
Clayton: "It sounds like feeding a dog."
James: "Exactly, only poor people can Eat. Our family always put it in a big blue jar."
Clayton: "Do you eat bacon in your family?"
James: "No, I said, only poor people eat like that. This is ironic. It means."
Clayton: "What are you talking about?"
James: "I always remember the past, and now it’s more serious. Your sincerity makes me want to tell the truth. Yes, my family eats cured meats and corned beef. It comes with meals. Are you from a poor man, Mr. Boone?"
Clayton: "My family is neither poor nor rich."
James: "Then it is middle class? Like all Americans."
Clayton : "I don't know. Maybe you think we are poor."
James: "In the north of England, the situation is much more complicated than in the United States. Every Englishman has his own place. And you are constantly reminded. The same is true of my family. Only I am a heretic in our family. I am good at imagination, smart and cheerful. But where do these come from? It must not be from my parents. I left school at the age of 14 and entered the factory. This is not a bad thing, it is like a district. A group of farmers’ families only know how to farm, but nothing else. In that environment, only hatred keeps me alive. Among those people, the one I hate the most is my poor father, who sent me to that damn place."
In a trance, James saw Clayton as his father.
Clayton: "What's the matter, Mr. Will?"
James: "I'm sorry, Mr. Boone. Since I had a stroke, I have always been in memories."
Clayton: "It's natural, but I don't have any feelings for the past. Interest."

James showed the painting to Clayton: "It's just scribbles, nothing at all." After he finished speaking, he turned and walked to the window. There was still thunder and lightning outside. The raindrops slid down the glass. Clayton thought, then raised his glass and drank the wine in one sip. Then he stood up and took off his upper body clothes.
James stood by the window and saw Clayton's majestic and fit body through the reflection of the glass. At this time there was another burst of lightning and thunder.
Clayton: "Didn't you say you want to paint me?" Then he took off the scarf around his waist. Clayton stood there with his hands on his waist.
James touched Clayton's body shown on the glass with his hand. The rain outside continued. He turned around. Clayton smiled at him. They looked at each other in silence for a long time.
James: "All this finally happened!"
Clayton: "What?"
James: "No, no. You look too human."
Clayton: "Then what do you expect? Copper?"
James suddenly What came to mind: "Don't move."
James ran to another room to get the gas mask. At this time, in the thunder and lightning, he saw the head of the monster.
James returned to Clayton: "I want you to wear this."
Clayton: "Why?"
James: "Just want to see the effect. The contrast between people and masks. Very good..."
Clayton: "I don't understand."
James: "Just a moment, let me see the effect."
Clayton: "I want to prove the scene of World War I, right?"
James: "Yes."
