About the filming
reference to "Pearl Harbor" one, first thing to say is that it was US $ 145 million in production costs - —This is the highest film production cost in Hollywood's history. Many people who know movies may ask: Isn't the production cost of "Titanic" more than 200 million US dollars, much higher than "Pearl Harbor". But in fact, the original filming budget of "Thai" was only about 100 million U.S. dollars. It was only because of James Cameron's "excessive profligacy" that the cost of the film exceeded 200 million. The budget declared for "Jane" before filming was 145 million, so "Pearl Harbor" is the veritable Hollywood filming cost highest in history.
Matching the unprecedented high cost is of course unprecedented pomp. In order to reproduce the brutal and heroic war scenes on the screen (many people who have watched the trailer and the pilot film think that the war scenes in "Jane" can compete with "Saving Private Ryan"), the crew of "Pearl Harbor" not only With the full support of the U.S. Department of Defense, he was able to be stationed in Pearl Harbor in the U.S. military base on Oahu for shooting, and he also spent a huge amount of money to purchase 15 old-fashioned U.S. military fighters, with live ammunition, and well-planned shooting of most of the explosions and air strikes in the film. , Naval battle shots and scenes (of course, advanced digital image synthesis technology is also used in post-production to produce some effects that cannot be achieved by real shooting). In addition, the film crew also includes Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baja California in Mexico (that is, the giant water studio built for the filming of "Titanic"), and England on the other side of the ocean. This shows how much the film "Jane" cost The hugeness and the size of the scene are beyond the reach of ordinary movies.
About production staff
can this ultra controlling the grand scene of the director and producer is of course by no means Dengxianzhibei, Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer this old partner might be able to find Disney's production of "Jane" The film is the most suitable candidate.
Jerry Bruckheimer is a senior Hollywood producer and has his own independent production company. His works are mostly successful films at the box office, such as the early "Beverly Hills Detective" and " "High Aspirations" and recent "The Enemy of the People", "The End of the World", "The Speed of 60 Seconds" and so on.
The director Michael Bay ("Break in Death Island" and "Jedi Men") and Bruckheimer have been cooperating partners for many years, and the most successful one may be "The End of the World", which is as magnificent as "Jane". Now-with the successful experience of shooting such a big hit movie, the Disney Company can of course hand over "Pearl Harbor" to Bay and Bruckheimer to shoot it with greater confidence. Of course, there may be another reason why Disney trusts Michael Bay, that is, Michael has always been careful and never exceeds the budget like some people do, so it is not surprising that Disney finally gave the green light to this ultra-high budget movie.
In addition to the director and producer worth talking about, the screenwriter of this film is also very backed. He has written "The Man in the Iron Mask" (the new version played by Leonardo), and he was inspired by the script of "Brave Heart". Oscar-nominated screenwriter Randall Wallace.
On the actor
the film's heroine Although all three men near the fledgling new, but can be regarded as the best combination of strength and idol, box-office appeal should not be overlooked.
Ben Affleck, who is tall, handsome, sometimes energetic, and sometimes affectionate, is the most famous of the three. Since his debut, he has played Prince Charming or Diamond without exception. It’s not too much to give him the name of "girl killer" for his five-style role; and the same tall, fit but simple-looking Josh Harnett ("H20 Ghost Festival" "The teacher is not a human "Love at the End of the Earth" and "Virgin Suicide") are recently recognized acting seedlings among rookies in Hollywood. These two young men play a pair of good brothers wandering between love and friendship. At least one who likes romance can be charmed. Little girls-they are one of the main players in the box office.
The heroine Kate Beckinsale may be less famous than the two heroes, but her acting skills are not worse than them. In the movie "The Fallen Palace", Beckinsale's performance even surpasses the seniority. Claire Dans, no wonder she was named one of the most promising newcomers of 2001.
In addition to the three protagonists, there are also some significant supporting roles in "Pearl Harbor", such as veteran actors Alec Baldwin, Zhuang Voight (Angelina Jolie’s father), and a young man who is very good at playing soldiers. Cuba Godin, etc., can be called the best combination of box office appeal and acting.
In addition, among the various news about "Pearl Harbor", one involving actors is very eye-catching. It is said that the main cast and crew of the film "Jane" signed contracts before the filming began, and agreed to wait until the film was released before taking their own remuneration and dividends. This set a precedent. It also shows that the actors are quite optimistic about the future of the film.
About the video content
When it comes to the plot of "Pearl Harbor", we have to compare it with "Titanic" again, because the two films have too many similarities: both are based on real historical events, both take love as the theme, All have devastating disasters (and they are all shipwreck scenes), and they all use the "fictional protagonist + real supporting role" organization.
Like the "Thai" film, the three heroes and heroines in the "Zhen" film are all characters fabricated by playwrights, and the supporting characters around them are all real people in history. The soldier Dolly Miller played by Cuba Godin Jr. was the hero of the Battle of Pearl Harbor. After the battleship "West Virginia" was attacked, he took the lead with an anti-aircraft machine gun to fight the enemy and rescue Many guards on the ship; Captain Jimmy Durret played by Alec Baldwin is indeed a man in history. He led the air force to successfully complete the surprise attack on Tokyo after the Pearl Harbor incident, giving the Americans A breath of bad breath (Spencer Cusser also starred in a film dedicated to the battle "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo"). Of course, President Roosevelt played by Zhuang Voight comes from real history.
However, history is history, and movies are movies. In order to attract viewers and earn more money, Hollywood can freely adapt history according to its own wishes or add or delete it to suit the public's preferences. Therefore, before the film was released, a group of American veterans who had experienced the Pearl Harbor incident stood up and protested that "Pearl Harbor" distorted history and harmed the image of American veterans, etc., but they did free publicity for the film from the opposite side.
About the film propaganda
films and big-budget matching, of course, it is overwhelming, the bombing campaign - which also happens to be the best interpretation of the title "Pearl Harbor" of. It is said that the film was named "Tennessee" (this is the name of a warship that was sunk in the Pearl Harbor incident, but it sounds like a copy of "Titanic"), However, out of publicity considerations, the producer finally named the film "Pearl Harbor", so that the audience can grasp the general content of the film as soon as the title is heard, and the name is much better and louder than the "Tennessee".
The modification of the title is only a very small part of the film’s publicity strategy. In fact, since the moment it was turned on, the news reports surrounding the film have almost never stopped, and the film is only a few months away from its release. A variety of posters were launched, and a trailer was announced on the Internet early, in order to adjust people's enthusiasm to the highest point when the film is officially released. In order to increase the attention of the film, Disney not only used an oversized poster design (the poster of "Jane" is three times the size of a normal film poster), but also specially announced the film stills on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor last year and arranged for production. The personnel participated in the memorial ceremony held by the U.S. military to create a lot of momentum.
On May 21st, Disney will hold a film premiere at the Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii. At that time, more than 2,000 special guests will enjoy a piece of "Pearl Harbor" and additional fireworks on the deck of the "Arizona" , Which may also include the former US President Bush who participated in World War II-this kind of pomp may be considered unprecedented.
Introduced so many aspects of "Pearl Harbor", just to tell you: if you are a loyal Hollywood fan, then "Pearl Harbor" is not to be missed anyway. Do you remember the shock and touch that "Titanic" brought us back then? "Pearl Harbor" is likely to be another "Titanic" three years later-if we still need and look forward to the shock and moving of the year.
