Hugo and Henry stood quietly in the corner, looking at the brightly lit courtyard. At this time, Alex was playing tennis with Sandra. Next to him, you could see Meg Ryan, Pedro and Cameron. Hugo was a little surprised. He didn't know that Meg was coming too.

Then a man ran forward, looking around looking for something, Hugo looked at it and shouted, "Joe, I'm here."

Joseph was looking for Hugo, and heard a vague sound from the sound of the wind, searching for the source of the sound. After seeing Hugo, he quickly walked over, "Mr. Pike and Mr. Newman are leaving."

Hugo immediately stood up straight, stuffed the glass in his hand to Joseph, then quickly walked towards the stairs next to the courtyard, and caught up with the Parker and Newman at the end of the steps. Paul looked in a good mood tonight, pointed to the small courtyard next to the garage, and said to Hugo, "You should plant some roses and orchids here, and then make a swing..."

Before Hugo could respond, Gregory smiled and said, "Paul, do you want to build a garden or a playground? The children don't care how expensive your orchids are."

A few elders laughed, Hugo, a bachelor who was not married, could only stand beside him and smile foolishly. "Okay, go back quickly. I know that the party will start to be lively after eleven o'clock. Now it has begun to warm up, so don't worry about us." Paul waved his hand and said goodbye to Hugo. Hugo bid farewell to the two couples with gifts, and then watched them get in the car and leave.

Hugo stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. It was said that partying was a very tiring thing. Hugo didn't believe it before, and always thought that a party was just a lot of people going to play at home, and everything was enough to drink. But now it seems that being the owner of the party is indeed a very hard thing.

"What's wrong? Are you hiding here for breath?" A voice from behind made Hugo tense up again. When he looked back, he saw Tim Robbins' figure.

"No, I'm just sobering up." Hugo said with a chuckling, looking back at Tim, but didn't see Susan Sarandon. "Are you leaving?" Hugo's eyes seemed to signal: What about your female companion?

Tim also laughed and raised the cocktail in his hand. "Although I think your wine glass is exquisite, I don't have the idea to take it away." It means that he is not ready to leave, which makes Hugo laugh, "I saw you coming over and come to find you."

"Me?" Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had actually met Tim several times tonight, but Tim never mentioned asking him for something.

"As the master tonight, you are very busy, obviously not too much time, so I chose the wrong time." Tim raised the cup in his hand and signaled Hugo to walk to the small courtyard and not to stand on the stairs to talk. This means that what he wants to talk about is serious, first, quiet, and second, time.

Hugo and Tim walked into the small courtyard. At this time, the small courtyard was not clear and empty, but only some flower pots were piled up, because Hugo had not figured out whether it would be converted into a garden or something. "But I talked to Rick, and he said he would still talk to you about the details. I think maybe tonight is a good opportunity." Tim looked at the puzzled Hugo and added, "At least you look a little drunk."

Is it easier to fool? Hugo laughed, "Then you will definitely be disappointed when you hear me coming to sober up."

Tim shrugged helplessly, "This is not something I can control." Tim stopped, then looked at Hugo and said seriously, "You should know that I always hope to be able to work with you."

"I thought it was just a polite word." Hugo's simple words made Tim smile.

"No, I'm serious." Tim said with a smile. "Last week, Morgan and I called each other, and he... obviously praised you." Tim pursed his lips, obviously a little excited. "It just so happened that I had an excellent project in my hand. When I was looking for someone who fits the character among the actors, I thought you were the perfect choice."

Hugo suddenly remembered that on Oscar Night, Tim was actually testing himself without any thoughts, but he didn't think much about it at the time, and Tim did not explain in detail because of the "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins" at that time. "The role that suits me the most? Is it the true performance?"

"No, no, it's definitely not a true performance. This is a bad boy's character..." Tim shook his head repeatedly, "How should I explain it? Have you heard of Elmer Patrick Sonnier's story? No, to be more accurate, it should be the story of nun Helen Prejean."

Hugo frowned and thought about it carefully, "No, I haven't heard of it."

"Well, the story is like this." Tim briefly explained, "Sonil was a young man in his thirties. He and his companions brutally killed a couple in 1977 because they were sentenced to death, while his companions were sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1984, the sixth year after he entered prison, he began to write letters to the nun Prekin. He denied the fact that he had taken action, emphasized that he was innocent and hoped that Prekin could appeal for him. Unfortunately, all complaints failed in the end, and he was still executed. Before his death, he confessed everything to Prekin, restored the truth of the matter, and confessed."

"Later, this story was written into a novel by Sister Prekin and was published, trying to tell everyone a truth that the truth can save you and free you. Her different interpretations of religion, different perceptions of love and being loved, and their views on the death penalty, all had a profound impact." Tim's narration was not complicated, and the whole idea was very clear. It was finished in just two minutes, and it even seemed a little short. But he hesitated for a moment and did not continue to say it. "It's this story, I want to adapt it into a movie. When I was conceiving the character of Sonel, the first person that came to my mind was you."

At first, Hugo didn't know the story, but with Tim's telling, Hugo gradually understood it. He knew the story and he had also watched this movie. This is a work written and directed by Tim, "Death Prison Walking (dean.man.walking).

Hugo has watched this movie. Objectively, the overall movie is a bit scattered and procrastinated. Some of the plots about family affection are a bit too sensational, but overall, this is a very good movie. As a director, Tim uses an absolutely objective standpoint to tell the story. He does not express his views on the death penalty, nor does he express his views on murderers, nor does he express his views on religion. But it is precisely this bystander's perspective that arouses infinite reflection from the audience. Everyone will have their own ideas after watching the movie, and only they can savor the echoes in their minds.

This is also the most successful thing about Hugo's movie "Death Prisoner Walking", because many times the works involving court missed sentences or death sentences or religious work are easily too biased to lose the director's objective position and become the director instilling his own ideas into the audience. For example, "Yihai Xiongfeng" is like this, but in fact the justice in "Yihai Xiongfeng" is also full of controversy, but Robert Reiner is not absolutely objective enough.

A truly outstanding movie should be to put out the facts and dig out the details. As for thinking, it is left to the audience. Right and wrong are never that simple. Because everyone’s outlook on life, values, and worldview are different, so there will naturally be different views.

However, the real success of "Death-Battle Walk" is still the acting part. In order to protect the personal rights of the deceased Sonier, the movie renamed it to Matthew Poncelet. Both Matthew and Sister Helen are very complicated.

There is no need to say much about Matthew. From lying all his lies, claiming to be innocent to the end of confessing all his sins, his inner transformation, and his fragility and panic in the face of death, they are all extremely difficult inner performances, and they all have high requirements for the delicateness and depth of the actor's performance.

The same is true for nun Helen. Due to religious beliefs, she opposed the death penalty because she firmly believed in the equality of all living beings, which made her have a kind heart when facing the unforgivable Matthew in the eyes of outsiders. She tried to appease Matthew with her care and faith; but for the victims' families, her behavior hurts them because when they are the victims, they are the people who need to be appeased, and as a nun, Helen stood on the side of the murderer. This inner contradiction and torture also has strict requirements on the actor's control.

In history, Sean Penn played the role of Matthew, while Tim's partner Susan Sarandon played the role of nun Helen. As a result, the former won the first Oscar nomination in his life, and the latter finally topped the list after the fifth Oscar nomination.

Sean and Susan contributed an acting feast during the "Death-infernal Walk" and were praised.

In fact, Sean's temperament is consistent with his temperament. Sean has always been a famous bad boy in Hollywood. His hot marriage with Madonna is well known. After entering the 1990s, he began to gradually shine in his acting skills. The rivalry between Al Pacino in the "Dawn of Love Owls" two years ago made many people applaud. His acting style was introverted and delicate, but also explosive, which made people shine. Later, he won the Oscars twice, and won the Grand Slam of the Best Actors at the Three Major European Film Festivals, becoming one of the best actors in film history.

It's understandable if Sean is looking for a role, but why did Tim think of Hugo first? This is illogical.
