Chapter 809810 The premiere of "The Pentium Age" (2)(2/3)
The following scenes were also some very warm scenes. The Brads lived a very happy and happy life, with a wealthy family, a house and a car, and adults would read to the children and play games with them. Several of the children were also very sensible.
At the same time, Howard is ambitiously expanding his career, and new car sales stores are increasing. At the dinner, facing many friends, Howard raised his glass and drank, telling these friends that this era is the best golden age, and there is no historical period that is more prosperous than the current era and has a bright future.
These scenes were very cheerful. The audience should have some pleasant reactions, but to my surprise, there were not many people laughing in the big square, on the contrary. Everyone's expressions were very solemn.
In fact, if you think about it, you will understand. The cheerful scenes in the movie and the words Howard said in the movie are no different from what they often said before the economic crisis. Behind the over-optimism, what you get is often a pessimistic result.
A shot finally completely shattered the joyous atmosphere just now.
Close-up, a bundle of newspapers smashed heavily on the land, and on the front page, there was a huge line of titles: The stock market plummeted, disaster is coming!
Next, what appeared on the screen was a series of photos, and all viewers knew very well.
The crowds of people in front of the New York stock market were covered with darkness. All the property was lost. Rich people in the streets were sitting in a down-and-out manner. Some people stood on the roof to jump down. The crying of women and children. The shop door was closed...
These photos appeared on the front pages of major newspapers a few months ago. When they appeared one by one on the screen, I heard a heavy sigh of pain coming from the entire square.
This sigh came from the mouths of more than 100,000 people and gathered together, which made people unable to help but be moved. "In one day, the market plummeted by 6410,030 shares, and tens of billions of dollars disappeared without a trace. That day, people on Wall Street jumped from morning to night, and no one knew how many people chose to end their lives on that Black Thursday."
"That day, no one realized what happened, until soon after, they found that their life-long savings were gone, and two weeks later, the disaster continued, the country was completely in trouble and destruction, and a quarter of the labor industry, countless families began to migrate, wandering from one place to another."
"Their home is just a small car, and the car is loaded with all of them. In an instant, countless originally happy families talked about the long road of wandering..."
These narrations are like a pair of awls poking on everyone's hearts.
On the scene, the wandering Brad family appeared. Brad walked to his father's place and handed his father a few coins. The father was surprised and asked him where the money came from.
Brad proudly said that he earned it.
The father didn't believe it, so Brad finally took his father to a horse farm. Looking at the riders on the horse farm, the father understood that his son had earned his first salary in his life by racing horses.
"The horse racing appeared." Marskolov, who was sitting next to me, sighed softly, not sure whether it was a surprise or a melancholy.
The next shot was beyond everyone's expectations.
Brad's parents privately found the owner of the horse farm and left Brad on the horse farm. As a family with several children, parents simply did not have the ability to support them all well. They could only let Brad reliably.
Brad didn't want to leave his parents and stay alone in a completely unfamiliar place. The scene of tears in his face carrying the duffel bag he handed to him made a sob sound.
Such tragedy is happening anywhere in the United States when the wife and children are separated and the family is destroyed.
Before the audience could wipe away their tears, the face of a fat, big-eared middle-aged man with a cowboy hat suddenly appeared on the screen. He spitted towards the camera and said, "You are a rider and you have to pay me $10 a week, but you have to pay me $9 for food. You have to sleep in my horse booth for $6!"
"Then why should I give you back??" Brad, who had changed his whole body, asked with a smile.
"You have to win the game!" the middle-aged man shouted.
In the mid-scene shot, a racing horse galloped past, followed by another!
This is a simple racecourse, surrounded by simple fences. As the racehors were running proudly on the track, sand and dust were raised. Brad rode a horse. While driving the horse forward, he was fighting with riders from other places. The scene was extremely chaotic.
"Put off that bitch!" The intense horse racing scenes in the movie made the square extremely excited. Many people began to cheer from the whistle from everywhere.
Horse racing is one of the favorites of Westerners, and such a galloping scene has really teased the passion of Los Angeles.
Brad worked very hard on the field. He wrestled with his opponents and whipped each other. It was very lively to run on the track, but in the end, Brad lost the game.
He was thrown into the stable by his boss. After scolding him, he had to clean the stable.
Howard's family, exhausted by business, can only be in a good mood when talking to his son. His son is a good boy, very considerate, and inherited Howard's fine traditions and is very interested in cars. He was a teenager who drove very well, which was obviously taught by Howard.
One day, Howard left his home and went to the city to find friends, leaving his son alone at home. The little guy took the car keys and drove out.
When I saw a child sitting in the driver's seat of a car, the audience in the square were all sweating.
"This little bastard is driving before he is high in the steering wheel!? It's so dangerous! I didn't learn to drive until I was thirty-five!" George V stared at the screen, his voice trembling a little.
The car was walking along the winding mountain road. The music sounded, and it was a long flute, with a hint of tenderness and a hint of heaviness that was easily noticed.
Howard's son was driving the car and whistling, looking leisurely. The scenery on the road was beautiful. There were large groups of doves cheating money to fog, and there were high woods, fences and sky.
But the music suddenly became hesitant, and the sound of the flute gradually turned into a somewhat dull violin.
At the same time, the camera editing became very fast, and the atmosphere became tense.
In aerial shot, the little guy's car was on one side of the mountain road, and from another corner, a large truck was whistling.
The little guy didn't notice the danger at all. He bent over and changed gears and speeded up the car.
As the camera turned, a large truck roared.
"God, something is going to happen!" The scream of a female audience member from afar.
On the screen, there was no tragic situation of a car accident. The scene was cut into an office. Howard was talking to his friend. The phone rang in the office, and the friend grabbed the phone. After listening for a while, he handed the phone to Howard with a heavy face.
At this time, the music suddenly rang, drowning Howard's next words. The audience only saw Howard yelling as he grabbed the phone and shouted at the top of his lungs.
A shot that followed was a close-up.
A brand new tombstone, a photo of a child was posted on the tombstone. Howard and his wife stood in front of the grave, with a dull expression.
Just two brief shots clearly show what happened.
His son died, died in a car accident, and died in even his favorite car. Howard suddenly got much older. He locked himself in his son's room and looked at the things he had before his death, burst into tears again and again.
And the wife attributed all the death of the child to Howard and to the car. She then filed for divorce from Howard.
Standing on the balcony on the second floor and watching his wife get into a car and leave, Brad returned to his home that had long been unrecognizable, a broken and lonely home.
Howard's encounter made the audience sigh, but the movie did not stay in this sad mood for long. Instead, it quickly aimed at Brad.
After being driven out of the horse farm by his boss, Brad lived a very down-and-out life. He lined up to get relief at the church, his face pale.
In a train, a group of cowboys were sitting in the dark of the carriage. They didn't speak, but each of them had sadness and the vicissitudes after suffering setbacks.
The camera slowly moved forward, over the cowboys and stopped at the corner of the car. The person sitting around the corner was Smith, who covered his eyes with his hat, and under the dim light, he could only see his angular face. Obviously, his life was not easy.
When the movie comes here, the plot relevance for the first time suddenly appears.
The three protagonists in the past seem to have no relationship with each other, but at this moment they all fell into a trough of human voices.
From beginning to end, the background music is sounded by flute and violin. The music is calm, sad, calm, and vicissitudes of life, making people feel sad after listening to it.
Brad, who had no choice but to live without a break, had to be forced to box and make money. During the game, he was thin and had no power to fight back under the storm of his strong opponent. His nose and face were swollen, blood splattered everywhere, and his right eye was beaten high and blue and swollen.
The economy is sluggish, and the people are in a very depressed mood. They must find a channel to vent, and horse racing has become everyone's favorite.
The mid-scene shot is a bustling street with crowds. The direction of their movement is a huge iron gate. The lens slowly rises. When you pass the iron gate, it is a huge racecourse.
"Run! Dog bastard! Run hard!"
"Above it! You will win if you exceed it!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
At the horse racing factory, dozens of horses ran wildly, and dust and smoke rose.
The camera moved in the crowd, and all the faces of the gambler on the screen were distorted by the excitement of the horse, but the camera finally stopped in a corner, where Howard's face was aged a lot by the pain of losing his son. Although the matter was over, his eyes were still filled with sadness.
He didn't seem to be very interested in horse racing, but just stared at the horses on the track in a daze.
"See, see, George Wolf, the most powerful rider in America!" His friend shouted at him, but Howard turned a deaf ear.
This calm expression of his eyes attracted the attention of a woman around him.
The appearance of this woman also caused a whistle to sound over the main square.
"Miss Jiabao? This is Miss Jiabao!" George V stared at Ergabao on the screen and smashed his mouth.
Judging from this guy's expression, he must be a die-hard movie fan of Garbo.
In the rider's lounge on the racecourse, Brad was showing off his glorious history to his friends, but anyone could tell that none of the guy's words were true.
George Wolf appeared in the room, and he had a good relationship with Brad. Both sides made a few jokes and then began to prepare for horse racing.
The group appeared on the track on horse racing and started the race again. Brad and George Wolf were chatting while racing, and in the stands next to him, Howard was sitting.
Next, the camera suddenly rose, left the track, and crossed the high wall to freeze on the other side of the racetrack.
Under the high wall, a group of people were treating a horse extremely roughly. They pressed the irritable horse to the ground, and many people punched and kicked the horse. The horse struggled desperately and even bitten many people. In the crowd, someone took out a gun and pointed it at the horse's head.
"Don't shoot, I'll buy it!" A slightly hoarse voice rang.
The camera moved upwards, and Smith, wearing a cowboy hat, appeared under the high strength.
"I'll say it, these three people will definitely meet together! How about it, I'm right!" This shot made Marskolov laugh, and he pointed at the screen, very proud.
Not only was he so excited, but all the audience was very excited.
From the beginning of the movie, the three men were like parallel lines. Finally, they interacted and intersected on this racetrack. This not only means that the movie has entered a more interesting stage here, but also means that the narrative techniques of the movie will undergo new changes.
Smith saved the horse, and he used his magical magic to restore the horse to calm down, and then led the horse away in everyone's astonished eyes. This man seemed to be born for the horse.
At night. Brad continued to brag about his story in the hotel and show off his glory, when the bruises at the corners of his eyes had shown that he once again lost the daytime game.
Meanwhile, in an open space outside the hotel, Smith set off a bonfire, healing the rescued horse, and then lay beside him telling stories to the horse.
On the street far away from the open space, Howard was sitting in his beautiful Ford smoking, and he looked ahead. He looked at the pedestrians on the street and a whizzing car with an unusually calm look.
Suddenly, he opened the car door and took out the car keys from his pocket.
He came to a stream next to the road, raised his hand and threw the car key into the stream.
The next day, the racecourse was still cheering everywhere, but at this time it was not a horse racing, but a Spanish bullfight. When the fierce bull was brought down by the bullfighters, all the spectators in the audience stood up and cheered, only Howard shook his head in extreme boredom, and then turned and left.
Howard stood alone on the stairs and smoked, the woman who had previously paid attention to him came over.
To be continued...
