Chapter 516 Good people and bad things(1/2)
Accompanied by the brisk soundtrack, a large group of teenagers including the North Shore Christian Church in Kauai Island on the big screen, Bethany, Alanna, etc. were listening to the lectures of young mentor Sarah. The novel said that Sarah was laughing and everyone laughed and laughed one after another, but Bethany was very serious and almost serious. Obviously, she was the most devout believer here.
"There will be many difficulties and setbacks in life," said Sarah. "But, 'Don't be afraid, and don't be frightened, because wherever you go, the Lord your God will be with you.' This is the first chapter of the Book of Joshua...the fifth sentence."
In the camera, Bethany, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his hand, and Alanna and others were looking at her, and she said, "Sarah, this is the ninth sentence of the first chapter of the Book of Joshua."
Sarah's fat face was stunned in the close-up.
Amid the laughter of the crowd, she walked back to the podium and picked up a book of the Bible and looked at Bethany, who was also laughing there, and shouted: "You are right! But you are a nerd." Everyone laughed louder, and Bethany rolled his eyes with a smile.
Off-screen, the laughter of Harvard-West Lake students at the Ye family has another layer of fun, they know this! Brother Wei has done such a thing!
The chuckle sounded in the theater screening halls, and it was difficult for people, especially young people, to dislike the funny and kind mentor Sarah, and Bethany undoubtedly showed everyone how familiar she was in the scriptures and the doctrines that even the young mentor could not compare to her.
The Hamilton family in the Brown Bear Cinema knew that this was a dramatic adaptation. Emma knew the profound meaning of these lines. Sarah truly understood this verse, and had accepted and overcome the test. Bethany was just familiar with the scriptures. She was a nerd who had not yet experienced the test of fate.
But Bethany was so kind. Not only did she correct Sarah's mistakes, she then told everyone about a volunteer charity event on the island of Hawaii. She was the most active. When she heard that the event time and training time conflicted, Sarah let her be absent and prepare for the Hawaii Regional Competition next month, and then participate in future events.
However, after a little hesitation, Bethany decided to sacrifice a weekend training time to help others with Sarah. Her voice was cheerful: "God loves the world, how can we not?" Sarah nodded with a smile.
Toronto, Mihaela looked at Nina and felt that she saw the shadow of her daughter from Bethany, although Nina was not so enthusiastic about Christ.
Bethany has the youthful and lively enthusiasm, is friendly on the field, and encourages her opponents on the field. She loves her family, is loyal to her, is familiar with scriptures and is passionate about charity, and has nothing bad, but... when she has this idea, the hearts of the audience will feel cold when she is moved.
Because of that certain story, something happened to Bethany, and something happened to Bethany like this.
A strange light flashed across the fat bearded eyes of the squinting eyes. The genius' courage is great...
No matter how much criticism there is, Viy's talent and pride are there. Until now, the film has been screened, and the use of shots and other scheduling is very simple, and there is nothing extraordinary about it. However, in terms of script adaptation and story theme, Ye Wei's handling is very bold.
Half past the first act, is there anything wrong with Bethany? No, everything about her is right and beautiful, and it is to be rewarded rather than punished.
Bethany's attack by a shark is a punishment in the game of storytelling, and God's punishment is also a test of fate.
Among countless stories, including Ye Wei's own short film "Dance of Angels", there is a reason for the protagonist to have an accident. This reason makes the protagonist get into trouble. When the protagonist realizes this reason and solves the problem, he will be reborn and the story will end.
Just imagine, if Bethany showed even a little bit of arrogance to Ashley, she was blinded by victory and success, and forgot God's will, she had a dispute with Teacher Sarah, and choosing between training and charity would be equivalent to choosing herself and leaving love.
This is guilty, and these preludes will naturally push her to be punished.
Self, surfing vs love, broader everything, which one is better? Which one is the truth?
This will naturally become the theme of the film. When Bethany experienced her journey of redemption, because something touched the soul, perhaps it was a charity activity to help others. She abandoned herself and realized God's true teachings and love. She was resurrected and won the championship in a surfing competition, and the story was over.
Self → Abandon yourself
Pay attention to appearance → take it lightly
Don't help others → Help others
Failure → Victory
Hollywood and ** movies usually tell stories like this, what about this movie "Soul Surfer" now?
Ye Wei doesn't say that! Not at all. Now Bethany on the big screen is not only guilty, she has made merits, and everyone can see her kindness, kindness and beauty. She is not self-centered, and she is beyond the maturity of ordinary people. She sacrifices herself to help others. Perhaps she is the most loyal Christian in the world.
What Bethany is doing now should be what she does after the ending of the film. If she makes up stories, the storyteller will have mediocre qualifications.
The fat beard smiled in his heart, and Ye Wei really caught it. The guilty Bethany was punished by God and then redeemed. No matter how you tell it, it was just a plain story, while the innocent and meritorious Bethany was punished by God...
The tension of the film is actually buried in the dark. When disaster destroys all this beauty, thanks to the true persuasion of the huge turning point of this story, it will be shocking. It seems that this is a story of self-salvation, and it is also a story of anti-traditional self-salvation.
Looking at the screen images, professional films will think more, expect more and surprise more in one thought; but ordinary audiences are watching movies, beautiful Hawaii, sweet and kind girl, amazing story expectations, and the word "impatient" does not seem to be very popular.
The word "envy" arises in the hearts of many young people.
Bethany and Alanna both taught themselves at home. Sheri tutored them because the middle school nearest is 40 minutes' drive away, so it would be better to use surfing training. Sheri's education is both warm and strict. It was the eve of Halloween. At the instigation of Alanna, Bethany secretly left home to participate in the night surfing of young people.
But she went there after finishing her homework, but Alanna didn't, and kept urging her to "I can't take care of it!" But she insisted, and it was too late for her to go there. When the two arrived, the activity was almost over. They also went into the water to surf and swim, watching the handsome guys, laughing and enjoying their youth.
Brown Bear Cinema, when he saw this, Alanna Blanchard seemed to have returned to three years ago. He was really stupid. Ye Wei was not there, but he restored it.
On the screen, October 31st arrived, and the atmosphere in the screening room began to stagnate. In the early morning at Hamilton's house, Shery and Bethany talked about the night surfing last night. Bethany smiled and apologized; Tom was going to the hospital for knee surgery, and his second brother Tim drove him there; Bethany was going to the morning surfing training with Alanna and his daughter; Shery and his eldest brother Noah stayed at home to decorate Halloween.
"See you back, sweetheart."
"See you back, Dad, the operation went smoothly."
On the porch of the room, everyone laughed and said goodbye. Bethany hugged the surfboard and followed Alanna and the other two excitedly.
She didn't know what was going to happen.
The audience's hearts were thrusting, from Los Angeles to New York, from Hawaii to Toronto, nervous clouds were forming. The very few viewers who were unaware of the soundtrack were still intoxicated by the bright soundtrack, warm and youthful dynamic.
The coast was incredible in the morning, and the sound of waves came into the audience's ears. Bethany and the other four came to the beach and ran to the sea with laughter and surfing!
This is destined to be a cross montage. Everything is in the hospital operating room. Tom, dressed in sick clothes, lying on the operating table, and two nurses are busy. Surgeon David Rowensky pushed the door and walked into the operating room, asking, "Tom, is the anesthetic starting to work? How do you feel?" Tom replied, "Little bit." David nodded and smiled and said, "In a while, you will feel completely gone, and then we will immediately let you go back to the sea and surf with Bethany." Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, David."
As soon as the scene changed, on the tunnel beach, four people swam to the sea, surfing, laughing and laughing. There were aerial shots, sea shots, and no upward shots in the sea, which seemed to be no danger.
The scene changed again. At Hamilton's house, Sheri and Noah were chatting while decorating the decoration. She asked, "Have you really participated in the full moon surfing?" Noah laughed and said, "Mom, every child on the island will go, and Beth is just a child. She will go to ask for candy tonight." Sheri showed a motherly smile on her face.
The scene suddenly reached the sea. Looking up at the camera, you can see the sunlight shining down from the sea, and a surfboard is passing by. The camera rises rapidly in an instant, and cuts to the panoramic shot overlooking the sea at the moment of rushing out of the sea. Bethany is surfing.
Countless viewers' hearts suddenly tightened and were startled by the movement of the camera.
Kimberly Pierce clearly felt that her heart was tightening little by little. Due to the prefabs and shaping in front, even though she knew what would happen... she felt nervous. Instead, because of that expectation, there was another kind of chilling uneasiness.
No one thought that would happen, but it would definitely happen. The more I didn't think about it, the more uneasy she was, she really shot "Carrie".
After the screen was mixed with the sea shots, the screening room was like a strangely tight string, which was about to break at any time. Looking down at the camera, Bethany and Alanna were lying on the board and floating with the sea. Holt and Byron were in the distance, and the camera pushed the two girls laughing at the Halloween event at night and moved closer.
The sound of the sea was gradually calm. Bethany closed his eyes and spread his hands to play in the water like dancing. The sea was undulating and the sun shone on the sea.
This scene is so beautiful, but the surging undercurrents make the audience feel depressed and they can't bear to see the horrifying contrast.
"Beth..." Alanna was about to swim near.
The camera aimed at Bethany's left hand from Alanna's perspective. The close-up shot of her left hand swings gently, as if gently soothing the audience's suffocating heart.
In the front close-up shot, Bethany closed his eyes and smiled softly, saying: "Life is so beautiful, thank God."
Just as thank-god's voice had not yet fallen, the ending sound of god had already become a scream, a gray shadow churned out on the sea, and Bethany shook. A fleeting close-up, the audience watched helplessly as the gentle left hand opened its five fingers, trembling, submerged by blood-colored sea water and sinking into the darkness.
The entire screen seemed to be covered in blood, and a burst of exclamations broke out in the cinema, and the audience around them said "Oh no", and Pierce seemed to be struck by thunder.
Guggenheim opened his eyes wide, and he actually used such extremely ironic, cunning, and vicious lines here. Can Viy really save the story?
The camera on the screen cut to the panoramic view in a panoramic way. The leaping gray shadow fell back into the sea. The sea surface was dyed blood red and spread. Bethany almost fell into the sea. Alanna shouted in a tragic voice: "Shark, there are sharks!!!"
The soundtrack suddenly rang, like a sudden storm, with heavy panic rumbling. The Holt and his son in the two-person camera changed their faces and immediately paddled over, "Stay on the board, don't fall into the water!" In everything, Bethany barely lay on the surfboard, leaving only a small section of his left arm blood flowing, and she looked painful and confused.
"Go back to the shore! Hurry!" Everything was so shocked. Holt and his son pulled Bethany's board to help her paddle back. Alanna followed closely, and Bethany's right hand was also shaking. The aerial footage allowed the audience to see the four people getting closer to the coast, and a shocking bloody road drifted in the sea.
The thunderous soundtrack became more and more terrifying. The four of them returned to the beached area on the shore, "Go and call an ambulance!" Holt calmly blocked the wound on his left arm with his clothes, and guided his children to help. Byron rushed to the beach and woods parking area first, and Alanna helped him pull Bethany back.
The air in the screening room solidified, and the huge psychological pressure sucked every audience...
The cross montage continued. In the hospital operating room, Dr. David was about to start the operation for Tom, but the door of the operating room was suddenly pushed open. A nurse rushed in and said anxiously: "Doctor, we need this operating room. A 13-year-old girl was attacked by a shark on the North Shore."
Tom's expression changed when he heard it. David followed the nurse out quickly. Tom asked in surprise: "Who is it?"
"I'll go see." David looked back, "Tom, stay there."
Byron is on the phone in the woods; Holt and his daughter are rescuing Bethany on the beach; ambulances are running fast on the road, and the whistle is very harsh.
At Hamilton's house, Shery picked up the phone that was ringing and asked with a smile: "Hello?" A few seconds later, her face became terrified. The phone fell to the ground and she ran out like crazy. Noah asked "Mom?" and chased after her.
Countless parents and viewers felt heartbroken, and the screen returned to the beach. Byron rushed back to help carry Bethany to Lin Road back together.
In the hospital operating room, David came back and said to Tom seriously: "It's Bethany." Tom, who had been moved to the hospital bed, blushed and let out a shocking sound. He instinctively struggled to get out of bed, but his legs could no longer move, and only his upper body was moving.
"Tom, Tom!" David quickly pressed him down and said loudly, "Don't move, don't make trouble, we will save her with all our might." Tom's face was filled with anxiety and grief.
On Lin Road by the beach, Bethany was urgently moved from the surfboard to the stretcher by medical staff and pushed into the ambulance. Holt followed in. When the ambulance drove away, Alanna cried bitterly, and Byron hugged her shoulders, but she was at a loss.
In the ambulance that was running urgently, Bethany was lying on a stretcher, his face and lips were not blood-colored, and he looked blurred, and he walked to the brink of death.
A middle-aged female nurse who had appeared in the church held her right hand and encouraged her: "Bethany, hold on, God will never leave or abandon you, God will never leave or abandon you..."
god-will-never-leave-or-forsake-temper
Listening to this sentence, Claire had no thoughts in his blank mind, and felt indescribable pain. She felt that even the devout believers were in a complicated mood at this moment.
At this time, a three-frame split screen appeared on the big screen. On the left is the image of Noah driving his mother to the hospital, and Sheri prayed blankly; in the middle is the image of an ambulance running towards the hospital, and Bethany was dying in the car; on the right is the hospital operating room, Tom was pushed out by the nurses, and he looked heavy, and Tim, who was waiting in the aisle, leaning against the wall weakly.
The three-frame segments were divided, and the family soon became three close-ups. Sheri was confused, Bethany fell into a coma, and Tom was so sad.
The cars, ambulances and hospital beds are all moving, they are all moving, but they are closely connected, not only the camera but also the flesh and blood affection.
And that heartbreaking pain!
That pain also closely connected the audience.
Because Bethany is completely innocent and beautiful, the audience will have such a complete pain.
The camera is talking! Pierce took a deep breath, this is what the director did, this is the director! The plain images before exploded with this cross montage, and Ye Wei was putting his own mark on the movie. He was performing to the fullest, and his performance also made all the actors so good.
Every time I see this, Julia Roberts is deeply touched. In fact, this movie cannot be a bad movie, how is it possible?
The three-frame split screen on the screen merged into a piece in the hospital corridor. The doctor and nurse pushed Bethany's bed to the operating room. Tom's bed was pushed away, and Shery and Tim rushed over. "Baby!" At the moment when the two beds were intertwined, Tom looked at his daughter who was still well-off an hour ago and was unconscious, and tears surged in his eyes.
Bethany's hospital bed was pushed into the operating room, and Sheri's steps gradually slowed down and stopped. She covered her face with her hands and covered her choking cry. Noah and Tim were both ashamed, and Holt stood there with some guilt. The soundtrack stopped, and there was a silence.
They could not see the situation in the operating room, and the audience could not see it, only dead silence and unsatisfied heartache.
To be continued...
