The birth of a political propaganda film from the perspective of a London screenwriter in 1940 about the evacuation of Dunkirk
The three screenwriters in the film are almost dealing with various forces, first impressing the film production company with the story frame, then filling in the content, and then dealing with government departments. For example, the engine in the film cannot appear because it will show that the British industry is not good. , to make the people more frustrated; for example, it is necessary to join Americans, but in fact no Americans appeared in the historical events of Dunkirk; and to meet the opinions of the American publishers, it is necessary to "have something to watch"...
The story is based on a true story: the alcoholic twin daughters responded to the call and sneaked into their father's boat to Dunkirk, but the engine broke down halfway through and they were able to return to a ship full of soldiers. The empty space in the boat was given to those soldiers, but after entering the port, they were reported as heroic twin sisters. After the alcoholic father found out, he did not allow them to tell the truth, for fear of embarrassment.
The film adaptation is: the heroic twin girls sailed to Dunkirk and brought back a boat of soldiers; the alcoholic father was changed to an alcoholic uncle who sent his son to the battlefield, and finally died heroically; among those who brought back the United States People, lovers with girls, also developed a love triangle...
Film producer/investor? ! I don’t agree with such an adaptation, I think it’s not based on real events, but the main screenwriter thinks it’s not enough to be based on real events of one person, but it’s based on real events of 330,000 people and more than 700 ships…
The drama in the play is full of highlights, and the film itself also discusses love. The affection between the female screenwriter and the editor-in-chief is also finally revealed through the film in the play, and the way it is handled is very interesting.
In the movie, the screenwriter is writing in the office at night, and there is constant bombardment outside, which reflects the despair of the war from the side.
The film was a huge success. The "outdated" old actors who have a lot of things have also gained more job opportunities and... love? !
In the first half, the two quarreling with each other's tongues did not make people feel that the war was cruel, but suddenly the male protagonist died because of the bombing, and it was just not long after the two confirmed their feelings for each other... Don't let people despair.
In the end, the real twin girls went to learn "mechanics", which may be the biggest gain of the female screenwriter's "lie".
A very feminist film, but without any discomfort. The female screenwriter's persistence is also gentle and powerful. She is not a strong woman. She can also run away for love, buy the ring herself, and turn around and leave gracefully when she is betrayed, returning to the work that gives her a sense of accomplishment. Perhaps it also highlights the importance of work for women's independence.
