Grant Heslov was 19 years old that year. He met George at UC. The two hit it off and they are in love today.
Regarding the reasons for making Monuments Men, Heslov said it was completely coincidental. He was waiting at the airport one day after the filming of The Ides of March, and found that he had forgotten to bring the book, so he went to the bookstore and found a book called he Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. The author Robert M. Edsel's book has a very cool cover. It was attracted by turning a few pages, and the idea of buying copyright was born. Then because the book was too informative and slow to read, I left it there.
The Ides of March has passed for a long time, and the idle and painful Master Joe and Heslov have nothing to do in the office so that they can only look at each other. . . The two people who couldn't stay free decided to shoot the big production next time they wanted to shoot, so they finalized the MM. Before writing the script, they also invited the author to teach them for more than ten days, carefully taking notes and historical background investigation, and then began to work on the script.
When asked who typed the script with Master Joe, Heslov laughed at Master Joe and said that of course he typed himself. Master Joe relies on handwriting everything, and he is still old enough to use scissors to carefully cut out useful content and paste it neatly. There is another script wall in their office, where all the deletions and adjustments are on the wall [you can imagine the virtues of half-wall printing and half-wall handwriting scripts. . .
So the script was written seriously for three months.
When it comes to casting, except for Bob Balaban, who played by Preston Savitz, he joined the group when they met at an event in Argo. Heslov said that when they wrote they had thought about Cate, Matt, Bill Murray, and so on. Therefore, it is said that the news that 007 plumber will quit after playing a cute role does not know where it came from. Spoilers are not convenient to say in this paragraph, but I have seen the movie and felt cute and cute. Many plots are designed by the screenwriter. The sense of mischief was definitely planned by Master Joe in advance.
Of course, during the shooting, Mr. Joe’s black hand stretched out again to Dummies, and also to Bill Murray. [These two stories have a lot of recent articles and videos. . .
Regarding the budget, Heslov said that they will 5 million under the budget after the film is completed. ! Master Qiao was very well prepared in the early stage, and the shooting efficiency was very high, so he saved a lot of money. Heslov also said that they have never overspend for filming.
Regarding the music, it was recorded on Abbey road!
The above information comes from the Q&A after the school's pre release screening at 1.30, Heslov's own answer, the memory may be incomplete.
[Talking about the film below, spoiler warning! 】The
trailer is really misleading. I have been looking forward to watching an art version of the Eleven Arhats, not the eleven Arhats, but also the idea of shameless bastards. As a result, the climax of the whole movie I have been waiting for, several times I thought: Dwarf Oil , Is it coming, and it turned out to be in the end--it's just oh...and...very touching--but it was also made by someone sacrificed.
So Master Qiao’s story is actually to tell a forgotten history of World War II. The sacrifices behind the cultural artworks that you casually admire in museums are worthy of gratitude and commemoration.
So there is a problem. Master Joe’s character Frank has a sense of mission and morality to save humanity from beginning to end, whether he encourages his peers or reports to the leader, he has a living director’s values and output a microphone, although it is better than the hands in "Hero". The emperor and the killer are much taller and taller when they talk about "the world" in namelessness, and they still have an aversion after being forced to indoctrinate them [I'm just talking about this form of value output. But fortunately, Master Qiao wears a military uniform to kill him. He wears sunglasses and drove a military vehicle with a smile in the sun. With a magnetic sound, he didn't care about forcing him to irrigate after the nosebleed sprayed on the ground.
Another aspect of this film is that the audience has a little bit of knowledge about the history of World War II, as well as a little bit of art history. Michelangelo, Picasso, Monet, Cezanne, Rembrandt, Rodin, etc. can be heard by names. , Matches the work. Those who appeared in the picture were first collected in the American Emperor Met Museum, National Gallary, the Louvre in France, etc., and they have listened to the explanation and understood its value. In short, as long as you understand a little bit, you can’t agree more with Joe. The motive of the role of the master is that the roles of Hugh Bonneville and the French Jean are culturally good for future generations. It hurts to see the SS burnt the painting. When the Soviet Union robbed the French collection, it hoped that the American emperor would take the lead.
However, the irony is that, of course, maybe I don't understand the history of collection donation after the war. Many of the collections in the film that should have stayed in Europe are now hanging in the National Gallery in New York Metropolis and DC. . . It shouldn't be Shun back. . .
Regarding why Hugh Bonneville died because of Michelangelo’s Madonna, why did Master Qiao hit the face when he found Madonna? Finally, Master Qiao was rescued while racing against the Soviet army, and why Master Qiao gave a report to the leader. Deputy Morgan Freeman possessed the perspective and told the leader that the sacrifice was worthwhile. It was deliberately implying something or thinking too much about the sequelae of my personal Da Vinci code. Unfortunately, the Q&A time relationship did not ask Heslov. . .
Switching to Master Joe and the cute opponent scene, the four words just couldn't bear to look straight. . . Love is too obvious! ! Obviously, it should be listed for high-voltage danger when it comes to discretion! ! ! After watching the news of Master Joe's pranks, I can't help but pay attention to the cute clothes and waist from beginning to end. . . And the scene of being cute and stepping on the bomb is definitely a prank of Master Qiao Chi Guoguo! Hanging people on pillars, turning around and disgusting people's IQ and weight, it's broken! ! [Stunningly cute, at your level, you can occasionally get revenge on Kimmel. . .
Then the cute scenes, especially the scenes between him and Cate in Paris, are actually out of touch, but Heslov said that he did not delete any major scenes. Then, Cate has nothing to do with the cute rival drama.
Master Qiao introduced him as a father at the beginning of the film, and then he didn't deepen the shaping of the father's image. It's a pity that she just introduced how noble she had a wife and children and went to war.
French Jean and John Goodman are particularly cute, but unfortunately they were demolished.
The two old men, Bill Murray and Bob Balaban, are warm and funny in a group.
The Nazis and the Soviet Army were used to hate and ridicule.
As far as Mr. Joe directed the tube, Bill Murray took a bath, and Heslov played the doctor's film, and the cut music was very beautiful and top-notch. Then there is always a sad atmosphere in the comedy under the background of war, which can always pierce the heart of the audience at the critical moment. On the whole, Director Qiao's job is getting more and more at ease.
To sum up, the story is very attractive and the structure of the story is flawed. The first-class cast is one-pot, and all of them have middle and upper performances. They will be released in February when there is no good show. It is still worth buying a movie ticket. of.
———————————— The dividing line on April 9th————————————————
I thought I liked myself.
After the domestic screening, I saw the full screen of one star and two stars, but wanted to say a few more words.
In fact, it is not easy for this theme and lineup to be an eleven arhat. However, Master Qiao chose to introduce to the audience this unknown history from the perspective of respecting the sacrifices and sacrifices of his ancestors, which also reflects his feelings.
As for the loose structure of the story and the lack of grasp of the relationship between the characters, it can only be said that the director talent of Mr. Qiao is far behind Orson Wells. There are too many part-time jobs, I am afraid it is difficult to concentrate on director work.
Insufficient ability to direct stories, is this a bad film? What about the directing actors? How about shooting skills? These are all played well. It is also worth mentioning that the special effects characters in the later stage of this film are quite heavy. Master Qiao has postponed the release time in order to do this well. Do you see any special effects deficiencies in the film?
So it's not bad, it's a medium-to-high quality film, and it can pass if the requirements are stricter.
Giving one star, I'm afraid it is mostly disappointed to watch the cast to see the excitement. It turns out that the director is telling his feelings, and the person who dislikes preaching if he can't calm down.
——The quality of the work of the director when he was a producer was so good that the first-rate actors have participated in the film, but the film is reduced, right?
Those who are a waste of good actors can wait to see if anyone can call them all at once.
In the end, this is where I am most grateful to Grant and Master Qiao for deciding to make this film, that is, through them, I learned about a piece of history that I probably didn’t have much chance to learn about, and let me know that I used to visit the Metropolis and the National Museum. How lucky it is to see those works of art has made me grateful when I go to any art museum in the future.
And I also think that if a director's feelings can make a few more viewers appreciate the sacrifices of these monuments men like me, his work is really successful.
