"Domino" was translated into "Pink Bodyguard" in China, which is really a big fallacy. In fact, Domino's career is not a Safeguard at all, but a very fringe and exciting job called Bounty Hunter. These bounty hunters are adventurers who live between black and white, and they wear paramilitary gear to help customers reclaim lost property or help the courts catch fleeing suspects. As blood payment, they can get about 10% Finder Fee.
Domino Harvey is a real person, and the first half of the film is basically a true reflection of her maverick life. After research, Domino's father is a famous actor, the mother is a model. After losing his father in childhood, he followed his mother to marry a wealthy businessman and lived a life of fine clothes and food. But she was rebellious by nature, expelled from four aristocratic boarding schools, and began to practice martial arts. Before joining the Bounty Hunter industry, she worked in many quirky industries, such as DJing, modeling, running nightclubs, and even volunteering as a firefighter. She quickly became famous after joining the Bounty Hunter's organization due to her agility and familiarity with a variety of firearms. So 12 years ago, she sold her legend to Tony Scott, a famous Hollywood action film director, for $260,000.
After several twists and turns, the film changed four or five screenwriters, and finally started shooting in 2004. With a salary of 2 million US dollars, he signed the prosperous Knightley, and the production cost of the whole film was as high as 50 million US dollars, which is almost higher than that of China The most expensive movie "Promise" is even higher. But the difference is that "Promise" took three years to shoot, and "Domino" only took 61 days. Throughout the shoot, Domino Harvey himself was there to guide and teach Knightley how to be cool. The plot of the film is written so bizarrely that Bounty Hunter is drawn into the triangle between the FBI, casino owners and the Mafia with a level of sophistication that rivals Scott's other film, The Spy Game. But the most shocking thing is not Scott's exquisite composition and color, but the omnipotent montage switching. If you're not careful, you'll be baffled by Domino's jumping narrative. Of course, gunfights and explosions are indispensable, but the core of the film is also dotted with touching stories of children with leukemia and Afghan refugees. But in general, judging from the IMDB rating, the movie has a bad reputation, because the editing of its story and the switching of pictures are too unusual.
Going back to the real experience of the protagonist himself, its legendary level is no less than that of the movie itself. Domino has helped capture more than 20 fugitives, and five or six of them did appear in the shootout scene in the movie. But what dominated her life the most was not the pistol, the double roller or the goldfish, but the drugs. She's been using drugs since she was a teenager, when Bounty Hunter gave her more exposure to drugs. Later, her wealthy mother sent her to rehab several times, most recently in Hawaii.
More legendary is yet to come. After the film was completed in late 2004, Domino also attended a celebration party, but in 2005 she was caught selling drugs. If convicted, he will be jailed for 10 years. At this time, the major media also carried out various false reports on her, the most exciting thing for her was that she was gay. She was placed under house arrest at home after posting $1 million bail pending her trial. The bizarre thing is that on June 27, 2005, Domino was found by the nanny in the bathtub at home. There is no authoritative statement on the autopsy results, but everyone suspects that she eventually died of a drug overdose. In honor of her, director Scott modified the ending of the film and added a real photo of her. And the audience can also hear her singing the ending song at the end. It is said that her last phone call before her death was to her partner Ed, who was a Bounty Hunter, to recall the three years of birth and death together.
Later, a friend made the following epilogue to her short life: "I think as the song goes, she was looking for love in all the wrong places. Another lost soul who couldn't find her way." Rest in
peace.
