There is a saying in Hollywood, "The age of stars has ended"-if you look at the top ten box office in the past five years, most of them are designed by CG, special effects and action. The main feature. The box office appeal of the star-studded movie is not as
good as it was in the past . And sometimes, a bunch of today's stars have the ability to save a good story: precisely this story is about how a family can work together to save a zoo, thereby saving themselves.
If There is no Scarlett, Matt, Thomas Hayden, Eri, and director Cameron Crohn — will the world be missing this strange but extraordinary drama? The romanticists in the world, Boys with dreams, will there be one less proof, one less encouragement, and one mentor?
Screenwriter and director Cameron is a complete romantic, sometimes romantically a little hypocritical. From an instant hit In "Mr. Sweetheart", the agent who believes in justice (the script created the classic dialogue "You had me at hello!") to the lost niche in "Soap Sky" and "Elizabethtown", Cameron has always insisted on "Almost Fame" The perseverance of the male protagonist (the director’s own real experience)-to live a life fiercely for the sake of dreams.
Some directors can make money every time they make a move. That is James Cameron, this Cameron Crohn often fails miserably. Because he never plays according to the commercial genre, the audience will not pay the bill sometimes.
——This is not a simple inspirational, family friendship, or romantic comedy genre—— Cameron solemnly used the "story archetype" to tell the real experience of an ordinary person in a special situation. He did not rush to tell the audience, but waited until the end to surprise the audience-this incident actually happened. Card. This time Melen lifted weights lightly, (occasionally still a bit hypocritical), let us and the hero of the story experience an emotional cessation of "accepting that the lover is gone, our life will continue", let us use warm tears in the dark theater To pay homage to those who are fragile and strong, doubt and confidence; we mourn and weep, and then we smile-we die, and then rebirth-these emotions fill us with humanity and make the world endless.
The protagonist of this story, the dreamer, is the journalist who is constantly seeking adventures. He can deal with the four-level hurricane center, a dictator who has a deadly life, but has to suffer the catastrophe of the death of his beloved wife.
Act One: The Ordinary World:
How can a person who is not afraid of the sky and fearless on the surface accept the fact that his beloved wife has died and he wants to continue living with a son and a daughter? By changing. He quit his job and refused to go to all the places where he could think of his wife. It was an opportunity for the son to be dismissed by the school, and it was also an opportunity for the daughter to complain that the neighbor’s "their happiness was too noisy".
So-they bought a zoo.
It sounds a bit strange, but if you are like me, listening to the roaring Jonsi's strumming in the pilgrimage hall of the theater, you see the reverse sunlight shining on the face of the little girl who feeds the peacock. The real estate sales around you are full of kind and apologetic telling you that this is a zoo. If you want to buy it, you have to buy it all—you believe that this father will make this decision.
The second act: The
first scene of the adventure has been set up-this father who loves his daughter and is a little separated from his son can't accept the vacancy left by his dead wife-he is bound to embark on a road of no return and set up a mess- —This private zoo with two dazzling beauties (Scarlett Johansson and Elle Fanning), he will complete his romantic adult ceremony in this wilderness far away from the memories of his dead wife.
This change has brought new elements. In this scene, our protagonist, a group of people, met "mentors, allies, opponents" and experienced material "tests" (the challenges from the zoo's business itself-to The abuse that must be experienced through the review of the opening of the park, as well as the high debt pressure that the business itself brings to the protagonist) and emotional “test” (the beauty challenge that father and son each encounter is actually a challenge to their self-confidence and self-love).
In emergencies where difficulties cannot be resolved, allies will come forward. When it is not possible, the protagonist will encounter "Goddess’s Blessing"-even if the dead wife is not alive, she will still help her lover pursue his dream and give the protagonist firm confidence. Moment of glory. In the end, the father and son must move towards "reconciliation with the heavenly father." The father must go from refusing to accept that his beloved wife is dead, and getting spiritual purification through the death of animals in the zoo, to allowing his own life to move forward.
I hope I didn't miss anything—please ask other storytellers to add.
In the third act,
the most difficult steps are stumbled through, whether it is because of the help of allies (brother’s "you only need to be brave for 20 seconds" is a good suggestion), or the good luck of God, the protagonist has an adventure. Consummation.
At this time he must "return to the ordinary world"-the place full of signals that remind him of his deceased wife-the fragrance in the garden, the supermarket, the bar, the cafe and the restaurant where he first met his wife, And he brought the healing medicine to the people here:
he brought his children to this restaurant and told them the scene of the love at first sight of father and mother.
In those inexplicable and brave 20 seconds, a woman we can only imagine what a beautiful woman answered the first question of a romantic boy adventure journey:
"Why should an Amazing girl like you talk to someone like me?"
: ) ... "**** ****?"
