Birth of an actor

Chapter 110 Phenomenal Video

From the very beginning of the film "Titanic", the history of nearly a hundred years is staggered: the real historical video data of the Titanic sailing from England to the United States in 1912, and now, nearly a hundred years later, the exploration ship went to the sea area where the Titanic sank Survey records for salvaged hulls.

Rachel, Nancy, Carmela, and Hannah enjoyed the historical video and the beautiful female singing in the opening title: "The soundtrack is great, isn't it?"

Then there was a few minutes of salvage footage of the wreck of the Titanic by the exploration ship. Just when everyone was a little bored watching it, the salvage team finally made a new discovery. They found it from a first-class cabin on the Titanic. A safe!

All members of the exploration team began to shout excitedly!They knew that this first-class room belonged to Carl Hockley, the heir to the Hockley family of the American steel magnate in the 20s. In fact, Carl Hockley's safe was the treasure hunters who even rented a Russian submarine to salvage the wreckage of the Titanic. Important, because there are accurate historical data pointing out that the last owner of the world's largest deep blue transparent diamond "Heart of the Ocean" was Carl Hockley, and it is very likely that he was forgotten by the owner when the ship sank. The sinking has been sleeping on the bottom of the sea!

The ultimate goal of the exploration team is the "Heart of the Ocean"!

It took 10 minutes, and the film finally drew from the wreckage of the modern Titanic, the most important and mysterious prop that can run through the 82-year history and is likely to play an important role in the film-"Heart of the Ocean".

The "Heart of the Ocean" on the screen is really beautiful, just as other audiences were amazed by this beautiful diamond, and they couldn't help asking: "There is really a deep blue diamond called 'Heart of the Ocean' in history." Color diamonds?" At the time, Carmela, who was from a wealthy family and had a great research and appreciation for jewelry since she was a child, was already whispering to her companions: "'Heart of the Ocean' is fake. There is no diamond with this name, it should be a movie prop, but I can probably guess the prototype of 'Heart of the Ocean', which is the 'Diamond of Hope'."

The "Diamond of Hope" is the largest dark blue transparent diamond in the world that actually existed in history, weighing 45.52 carats, and has a bloody history that is completely inconsistent with its name. ’ is also known as the ‘Diamond of Doom’, and there really are movies and documentaries out there that describe the mysterious story behind it.

——The plot of the subsequent movie also confirmed the correctness of Carmela’s guess. The film’s description of the legend of the “Heart of the Ocean” is exactly the same as that of the “Diamond of Hope”. The only difference between the diamonds is that the shape of the “Diamond of Hope” is Oval, and in the movie "Heart of the Ocean" was carved into a heart shape to fit the name.

Going back to the movie being shown, the exploration team salvaged the safe of the former American millionaire Cal Hockley, but there was no "Heart of the Ocean" in it, only a sketch of a naked woman wearing the "Heart of the Ocean" .

Who is the naked woman in this sketch portrait?Why is she wearing the heart of the ocean around her neck?What was her relationship to Cal Hockley?

Claiming to be the girl in the portrait, the 101-year-old Ruth Bukett appeared on the stage. She told everyone a story about the setting sail and sinking of the Titanic with her unique old, low and intelligent voice. ——

Like going back in time, the dilapidated shipwreck Titanic, which has been sunk in the deep sea for nearly a hundred years, covered with rust and sea plants, returned to its youthful appearance bit by bit in front of everyone. It was the largest ship in the world in 1912. The most luxurious "dream boat"!

All moviegoers in the cinema were amazed by the outstanding special effects!

'I finally know where the investment of [-] million US dollars went, this special effect!It was a miracle! '

'It seems that James Cameron still hasn't lost his love for high-tech and special effects even if he switched from making science fiction films to making historical romance films. ’ That’s what everyone thought for a while.

After being shocked by the film's outstanding special effects, the next scene on the screen, the magnificent Southampton pier scene, once again amazed the fans.

The Titanic docked at the pier, passengers waving goodbye on the ship, well-dressed upper-class guests strolling on the first-class cabin, hard workers on the pier, crew members in neat uniforms, poorly dressed three-stage passengers, wearing headgear in luxury cars The rich young master and the noble lady in top hats... just like the social beings of the early [-]th century.

Ruth Bukett, a noble girl played by Kate Winslet, and Carl Hockley, the heir to the American Iron King played by William Bradley, appeared as a pair of fiancé couples, and fans just closed their mouths , when I saw these two people appearing on the big screen, I couldn't help but open my eyes again—if the beauty of Kate Winslet's aristocratic appearance was still expected by everyone, William Bradley's graceful The demeanor was completely beyond expectations.

Especially when the other party is wearing a pure white three-piece suit, with black hair combed back, holding a red wine glass, bickering with Ruth with duplicity, that kind of energy is too much like the rich boys and buddies in old Hollywood movies of the 40s and [-]s. It's in style.

Ha, there are still people from the Qing Dynasty with braids among the passengers. James Cameron really strives for details. The description of the passengers in the different cabins of the Titanic is very similar to that described in "Gone with the Wind". The sense of the times, the portrayal of the customs and feelings of that era is too restored. '

A devout black-and-white movie buff thought: 'Kate Winslet's appearance is actually not in line with the standards of aristocratic girls loved by the upper class at the time, not refined enough, but her plump figure and rebellious temperament are indeed charming, Leon Nado DiCaprio is perfect for the role of Jack, he was born for Jack Dawson, and William Bradley - don't know how he did it, but his Cal Hall Klee is simply too much like those handsome male stars in the golden age of Hollywood. This temperament, this style, has both the charm of Mr. Darcy and the affection of Armand. '

——The source of Mr. Darcy and Armand mentioned by this fan is of course not the film and television works of the past two or three decades, but Laurence Olivier, one of the greatest actors of the 30th century, in the 1940 version and Gurley Garson's "Pride and Prejudice", and Hollywood's golden age superstar Robert Taylor and Greta Garbo's "La Traviata" in 1936.

Anyone can see that Ruth, who loves art, and Carl, who loves money, are a seemingly divorced fiancee, but even though Carl is always flattering and currying favor with Ruth, and has a bad temper from time to time, movie fans don't mind. Far took him as a total villain.Even after Jack Dawson and Ruth had a sincere love of sympathy.

Although Jack is a poor painter, he has a romantic and free personality, interesting thoughts and behaviors, and a refined attitude that regards money and power as nothing. This is completely different from Carl, who is a rich man in the upper class, handsome, affectionate and shrewd Rich, but also has obvious disadvantages, that is, arrogance, and a strong desire to monopolize Ruth.

The hearts of the girls in the movie theater were beating wildly. They liked both Carl's domineering and affectionate, and Jack's lively and fun. For a while, they put themselves into the role of Ruth and swayed from side to side.

But Ruth on the big screen obviously had her own choice long ago.

……

After the horror on the deck of "you dance and I dance", a whole day of communication on painting art, bold and bold spit on the sea from behind the railing in the sunset, and the dinner in the first class and the lively party in the third class, Jack And Ruth already love each other beyond their control.

When Ruth and Jack were walking on the deck and having a heated discussion about Jack's previous paintings, Carl was standing a little higher, his black hair was still pinched back meticulously, and the decent three-piece suit seemed not Unable to resist the cold that spread from his heart, Carl took out a small silver jug ​​from his pocket, watched Ruth and Jack who were talking enthusiastically not far away, and took a sip of wine.

Rather than drinking wine to keep out the cold, it is more appropriate to say that drinking wine to relieve sorrow, especially against the backdrop of the beautiful oil painting-like sunset, Carl Hockley's handsome profile and calm appearance, Exudes a suppressed pain.

Ruth was attracted by Jack almost like a moth to a flame. As long as the first-class passengers had no problem with their eyesight, they could tell that this noble girl was becoming more and more lazy to deal with her fiancé.

Carl was angry but powerless. All his actions, whether it was presenting Ruth the priceless "Heart of the Ocean", currying favor with his future mother-in-law, Mrs. Bookett, or deliberately inviting Jack to the first-class dinner, he wanted to The other party made a fool of himself, so that Ruth could understand the class difference between nobles and poor painters, and even punctured the ambiguity between Ruth and Jack to warn the other party, but failed to restore Ruth's heart, but pushed the other party further and further away.

But only on the third day of their acquaintance, under the same sunset, Jack and Rose kissed on the bow of the Titanic.

The beautiful scene, especially under the moving music that can almost touch the soul, has made countless movie fans feel excited.

"It's so romantic. It would be great if I were Ruth. It's decided. Kissing the one I love on the bow of the boat under the sunset must be included in the list of [-] things to do in life!" Rachel and four others The girl was completely red from her ears to her neck, and her heart was beating wildly, but no matter how distracted they were, they never forgot Karl: "But to talk about the sunset, Karl is still standing alone on the deck drinking wine. The scene in the [-]s was a little better... oh, the fiancée ran off with someone else, poor Karl."

On the one hand, the relationship between Jack and Ruth continued to heat up. Ruth took off her clothes and asked Jack to paint a portrait of her in the living room. His manservant must find Ruth.

The valet found out the traces of Jack and Rose escaping from the first-class cabin, and began to track them down. In the first-class cabin, Carl opened the safe in the room, but found something extra at a glance: a note, and a Rough brown notepad.

The sudden appearance of two items made Carl stunned in front of the safe. He knew that Ruth must have put them in, because no one but him and Ruth knew the password of the safe.

"Is there anything missing?" the valet came over and asked, and then also saw the note and notepad.

Carl took out the brown notebook, shaking his head at the valet while showing a puzzled look, then when he opened the brown notepad in front of the valet, Ruth's nude sketch appeared in front of his eyes, and then Ruth's beautiful handwriting, The tone was full of provocative notes: "Honey, now you can lock me and the diamond in the safe!"

In order to protect the dignity of the master, the male servant turned around quietly and stared at the door frame expressionlessly, as if the pattern on it was very mysterious and worth studying.

The note and the portrait were held tightly by Karl in an instant. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. For a moment, he wanted to smash them all. His lips trembled, and the veins on the back of his hands and temples bulged.

Ruth did it on purpose, there was no doubt about it.

She knew that when Carl found out that she disappeared with Jack, he would definitely search everywhere, maybe even check the safe to see that she had stolen a lot of money and eloped with Jack (Carl told Ruth the safe password), so she Deliberately leaving nude sketches in the safe to drive Karl crazy.

Suddenly letting go of the paper in his hand, Carl stared at them with deep and unpredictable eyes, rolled his throat a few times, raised his head, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "I have a good idea."

The camera zooms in, and Carl's frozen expression like a sculpture fills the entire screen.

The cold light in those deep green eyes is like the clear and cold water under the Titanic.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Pressing their hands on their chests for a long time, the four girls who were out of the state of confusion suddenly realized that the violent sound just now turned out to be the sound of their own heartbeats.

……

After Jack and Ruth ate the forbidden fruit in the cargo warehouse, they returned to the first-class cabin but were framed by Carl and his servants to steal the "Heart of the Ocean", which caused great controversy among movie fans.

Most movie fans can't accept Carl's changes. If we say that he was a little arrogant and jealous at the beginning, but the very affectionate Carl whom Ai Ruth loves still makes people love and pity him. Carl who framed Jack is a bit unlikable-but on the other hand, fans have to admit that Carl's transformation is very reasonable, from unconditionally satisfying any of Ruth's requirements, to realizing the crisis to his rival (Jack) ) was hostile (but did not take any action to suppress it), and then wanted to use the "Heart of the Ocean" to save Ruth's heart. After it was ineffective, the character became violent and impulsive, drinking alone, and then the last blow appeared, Ruth Silk took Jack to the living room and left a nude portrait as a tool to attack Carl. Carl's reason was finally completely engulfed by jealousy, and the dark side of his character finally began to gradually emerge.

Director James Cameron used his skillful shots to describe the process of how Carl's gray character, which was not white, became darker bit by bit, although judging from the whole movie, it belongs to Carl. Hockley's roles are not many, not only far inferior to the two protagonists Jack and Ruth, but also not as much as Ruth's mother, Mrs. Bucket - Mrs. Bucket and several high-society ladies The picture of the nouveau riche guests who squeezed out the first class is really interesting. It vividly portrays the intrigue among the nobles and people's emphasis on class at that time.

But compared to Mrs. Bucket's unchanging personality words and deeds from the beginning to the end, Carl Hockley's image is the one with obvious signs of change all the time. There are reasons for all his behaviors, and his personality is gradually becoming full. Fans saw his goodness at the beginning, and could understand how he gradually became bad. Although Cal Hockley didn’t have many roles, the impression and feeling he left on fans is probably second only to the love between Jack and Ruth .

Some people even began to think about deeper issues based on Carl's behavior. Carl's hatred for Jack was so obvious that he even did not hesitate to destroy the other party's reputation or simply send Jack to jail. The origin of this hatred is really because Love for Ruth?

Doesn't it mean to love someone, but to hope that she will be happy?Ruth is obviously happier with Jack, but Carl has never considered breaking up. From saving to controlling and then trying to destroy, is this love or just possessive desire?

There are many fans who feel that Carl is sad and pitiful. They are moved by the love between Jack and Ruth, and there are also many fans who think that Carl is very bad. But there are also other fans who have gone to the second extreme——

'Carl is the villain, Ruth is the bitch, and Jack is not so good, he is the third party who seduces other people's fiancées! '
