Their Finest

Their Finest

It tells the behind-the-scenes story of a movie and the love life of the heroine who is the screenwriter of this movie. The script she wrote and her emotional part can be taken care of, so I think it is very clever when I think about it:

At first, the heroine Catrin did not have a serious desk, and was only used as a temporary worker. The script nominally told the story of two girls, but was not regarded as the protagonist. It is the person who promotes the development of the plot. When the script was conceived, it was a story about two girls participating in the rescue of Dunkirk. These two girls should be the protagonists of the story. But the screenwriter Tom initially opposed such as driving a boat, cutting off ropes, etc. The key action is done by the two girls, effectively taking their place in the story empty);

She has a boyfriend, but has been in love with Tom for a long time - Rose in the script is also a love triangle;

Catrin is engaged in the opening scene - the American guy in the script regrets leaving, "I wasn't there in the beginning of the story, but you can bet your bottom dollar I'm not leaving before the end."

When the writing team was at a loss on how to develop the ending of the script, she wrote the perfect ending - Rose in the script became the one who cut the rope at the critical moment and became a veritable protagonist and hero.

Rose and Lily in the script slowly regained their protagonist positions, and Catrin also took back his own name. His talent was recognized and he became the leader of his own life.

For the emotional scene, "I wasn't there in the beginning of the story, but you can bet your bottom dollar I'm not leaving before the end." This sentence is what the American guy said to Rose in the script, and it is also the same What Tom wanted to say to Catrin in the movie. So very impressed.

Tom's accidental death is a bit bloody, and it would be much better and less dramatic if he hadn't arranged to die just after his confession. But I can understand why the writers let Tom die so that the heroine is completely independent. She swept away the decadence and became more powerful when she devoted herself to the next screenwriting career.

It can be owned or lost. Even if it is lost, it will not stop. cool! !

In addition, I want to scold the heroine's original boyfriend Ellis to death. The rent paid by the girlfriend still feels that the girlfriend is putting a lot of pressure on her. Going to open an exhibition, I hope that my girlfriend will cooperate with my workplace and follow me. He never thought of cooperating with his girlfriend's work! The visit is also the girlfriend who came to visit, I didn't think about going to find the girlfriend! Also cheating! outrageous

The following are excerpts from the lines:

This piece is so handsome. It's a real debate about movies. The male protagonist defended his script, saying that the truth of the movie was chosen by the creator.

There's someone who says that the Starling sisters never got to Dunkirk. That their engine broke down before they even were out of British waters. Pity. Pity all around really. Your first draft boded it so well.

So the Starling sisters lied. What difference does it really make?

God sake! Of course it makes a difference! It's not the truth!

The truth is they stole a boat from a man, who terrified them and set out to cross 50 miles of open sea into a war.

They never got there.

Because their engine failed! Now that's a truth we won't be telling. Moral sapping apparently. We pick our truths. Isn't that the point?

We are saying, this is based on a true story.

Then don't! For Christ above, man! You are supposed to be the propagandist. 700 ships went to Dunkirk! 338000 men came back! Don't say "It's based on a true story"! Say, "It's based on a hundred true stories, a thousand!"

338000 thousand.

Dunkirk, the biggest retreat in military history. Or the miracle that put the fire back in all our bellies.

Very well. Carry on as you were. I have a car waiting.

Movies can be distilled into central ideas, meanings, but life is not. As a bystander, Angry Tom's death can also be extracted for meaning, such as empowering women. But for the characters in the movie, his death is random, his death is not expected to bear any responsibility or meaning, and cannot be deconstructed from the perspective of meaning.

Is Mr. Backer all right?

He lost one of his grandsons.

Oh!

Hit by a tram on shore leave.

Oh! Must make it so much worse. It wasn't for anything. Poor Mr. Backer.

This wasn't for anything. Why do you think people like films? Because story is a structure. They're a shape, a purpose, a meaning. And when things turned bad, it's still a part of a plan, you know. There's a point to it. Unlike life.

…

The thing about men who sent away to war. Mrs. Cole, is that some of them don't come back at all. Some come back as heroes, some of then come back drunk squalid bullies. I was better off out his way.

In the pub?

Or the pictures. I liked the pictures best. Once in a while you just need to make one that's worth it. Worth the hour and a half of someone's life is gonna cost to see it.

The flat's yours, you're the one who pays the rent.

…

You know the first time I painted you outside the steelworks? Maybe I shouldn't have shown you walking away.

Oh, I don't know Ellis. Maybe you shouldn't have made me so bloody small.

Tom accused the dog man of being too handsome

Marry you.

I'm already married.

No, you're not.

That was private. It was a private conversation.

You had to buy the ring yourself in Woolworths. When times got hard he tried to send you back to Wales. And he's disappointed in you? He's a stupid bloody fool. But he's not as much a fool as you. He changed your name for Christ sake!

Censorship is a big problem for creators from all over the world hahahaha

Americans feel that the ending as presently written, is too subtly nuanced, too restrained.

Restrained? I mean it's practically a call to arms!

Their concern is more, what one might crudely call.. The love triangle. I've to say as far as the home front goes, we can't let it look that if she rather had the American.

Well that would be the teeth.

Teeth or no teeth. What all parties need is a morally clean, romantically satisfying resolution.

The world is impermanent

When we were shooting in Devon, you always seemed so… vivid. Perhaps I'm just in a sentimental mood. My landlady was killed yesterday. I could hear her husband crying through the wall all night long. It seems to me when life is so very precarious, it's an awful shame to waste it.

This paragraph is too romantic. As the heroine of the screenwriter, she wrote a new story direction for their dispute by the sea. It is indeed you!

A full moon, a clear sky. A man sits by the shore. There has been a quarrel. A woman is walking away from him. Now she turns back. “I didn't mean what I just said. And anyway… You said worse.”

It was a declaration.

“Stupid bloody” fool was good. Did you think of that beforehand?

Are you trying to pick a fight with me Mrs. Cole?

No. What I'm trying to say is that, if all of this stopped, the sparring and the jibing, and the insults and the arguments. I'd miss it. Even if I were dead. I'd still miss it.

The Catrin Cole School of Dialog. On and on and on and on. Lose half.

Which half?

The half you don't need.

Alright. Alright. I'd miss you.

Don't let death take precedence over life

You and me. Given up opportunities only because young men are gone.. or dying. But to turn our back on those opportunities, even when one has suffered such great loss, wouldn't that be giving death dominion over life ?

Although I was absent at the beginning of the story..

In another time, another place.. could it had been me?

Perhaps. But you are talking about a world without Johnnie. That's not a world I'd care to live in.

OS: Have you ever looked at something and known you want it? Want than anything ever you wanted in your life before. And know it can never be yours. I have. And I tell you, it will either finish you or put a fire in your belly that will keep burning to the end of your days. I wasn't there in the beginning of the story, but you can bet your bottom dollar I'm not leaving before the end. Because I know it has to be the right sort of ending. The sort of ending that's worth fighting for.
