Chapter 98 There are always more funny things

On the large screen, the movie has reached its final moment and the final climax.

Amid the screams, William Wallace was tied to wood and transported it out of the city gate. Ordinary people who came to visit the execution smashed all kinds of things on him.

Then Wallace did not lose his composure at all, and his mouth was closed tightly and still had a firm look on his face.

The journey seemed extremely long and short. The camera switched between the Scottish lord Bruce, Princess Isabel, the two partners of Wallace hidden in the crowd, and the long-legged king who was about to die, and finally came to William Wallace on the execution platform again.

Are you not going to say something?

The executioner in red clothes said, pulling the cover on the table, and all kinds of torture instruments were exposed immediately. Say, His Majesty’s people ask you to be kind.

However, Wallace said nothing, and stood there silently, like a rock, a rock that was repeatedly beaten by the waves and still maintained its edges and corners.

The executioner was a little disappointed but didn't care. In his opinion, as long as his torture instruments were used one by one, the other party would have to beg for mercy even if it was really a rock.

Finally it began. They first hung Wallace up and put it down until they were about to die of breath, and then tied him to the table, pulling his limbs as if they were about to dismember him.

The people below cheered enthusiastically, this was one of their few entertainment activities in life.

Even so, when the executioner came to Wallace, who was so angry that he asked him to beg the king for mercy, he would give him some pleasure as long as he said this. However, Wallace was still silent.

So the more cruel execution began. The executioner used the torture instruments one by one on him. Although these cruel and bloody scenes could not be shown on the screen, just from Wallace's wide eyes and trembling body, you can imagine how much pain it was. There were even women in the screening room that were unbearable.

However, Wallace was still silent. No matter how terrible the pain was, he didn't even scream from beginning to end.

This power of silence gradually calmed down the people below. They did not understand why the person above, the person who was promoted by the king as a robber and a traitor, could persist to this point.

Call it!Be kind!

A woman finally called out, and soon more people called out, and they could no longer bear to watch it. They hoped that this man who was inexplicably shocked would be able to enjoy himself rather than torture like this.

Call it, be kind.Wallace's two friends hiding in the crowd also murmured that they would not blame him, and they believed that others would not blame him after they knew this.

The camera once again passed by the uncomfortable blues, the sad princess chewing tears, and the long-legged king who seemed to have a smile on his face.

Stop, the prisoner seemed to be talking.The executioner stopped and bent down with a proud look. He thought his own had won and had won the victory for His Majesty the King.

Because of this short space, Wallace, who was almost fainting in great pain, finally came back to his senses. He opened his eyes wide in a daze, and his breathing became more and more rapid, as if something was forming in his body and was about to burst out.

The audience in the screening hall couldn't help but lift their hearts up. They knew that according to the development of the story, Wallace should not beg for mercy, but what would he shout?

Freedm！

A deafening roar erupted from Wallace's mouth, shocking everyone present with persistence, desire, indomitableness and passion, including the audience sitting in the screening room who had been mourning as he revolted as he fought and betrayed.

The shocking cry spread from afar, into the ears of the king who was dying, into the heart of the princess who was crying, into the Scottish Highlands, and in front of Robert Bruce standing on the top of the city to the south.

The smile froze on the face of the long-legged king, and tears silently passed through Isabel's face, and Bruce lowered his head sadly.

The scene was quiet, and people were staring at the dying person in a daze, while his two friends closed their eyes and prayed for him in their hearts.

The executioner straightened his body in disappointment, but he finally failed. The knife and axeman walked up and raised the axe in his hand high.

Wallace lay there quietly, his wife's figure appeared in the crowd, a faint smile spreading from the corners of his mouth. As the axe swung, his tight hand finally released, and the token of love that had been slowly falling down.

As Bruce inherited Wallace's will and launched an attack on the British army, the movie finally ended after his friend who had fought side by side with Wallace threw out the symbolic greatsword. At the moment the subtitles appeared, the sad Scottish bagpipe sounded again, and there was warm applause in the screening room.

Congratulations, Ed, this movie is really good, at least it touched me.

It is true that you can modify historical events so drastically and make them so shocking, Ed.

After the screening, familiar and unfamiliar people came up to greet him and praised him, both flattering and sincerely praising him, but everyone admitted that the final scene was the most outstanding.

This is of course, in fact, in Adrian's opinion, the first 90% of the content of "Brave Heart" is paving the way for the last scene.

It constantly highlights Wallace's infatuation, Wallace's perseverance, Wallace's courage, Wallace's justice, and then there is that shocking freedm.

It is also true that he gave up the original plot of making Isabel pregnant, which not only seemed unreasonable but further offended the British, but also greatly reduced Wallace's infatuation.

And now it’s much better, at least the critics didn’t say anything, and fans also like Wallace more.

It was undoubtedly a very correct decision to let Russell Clow play William Wallace. He showed that his wildness was no worse than that of Mel Gibson, and his acting skills were better than Gibson. After all, he was also a person who had been tempered for a long time. His slightly melancholy eyes also made his version of Wallace more charming.

You did a great job, Russell, I knew you wouldn't let me down.When he arrived at the entrance of the theater, he happened to meet Clow and came out. Adrian immediately patted his shoulder and said.

Thanks, Ed.Russell Clow said gratefully, with a very respectful look on his face.

Don't do this, it's what you deserve.

Adrian didn't mind saying a few more good things at this time, and then smiled and pointed at the reporters guarding outside, ready to accept their siege and intercept.

Then he thought of something and asked: Do you have any recent schedule?

Do you have anything to do?Russell immediately replied, looking like I can adjust at any time as long as you need it, he is a smart person.

It's nothing, a role that suits you very well, but now I think I may not start production in the near future. Several actors I like still have their own things to be busy with.Adrian said with a smile.

No problem, you just need to call me then.Clow immediately said, decisively without any hesitation.

With his shoulder again, Adrian walked out of the theater.

As mentioned before, many reporters surrounded Clow and asked questions about "Brave Heart", but more of them were around Adrian. After all, the quarrel about this movie has lasted for more than a month. Although he has issued a statement, there must be another verbal battle with the official release, and there must be a lot of news here, Director Miracle must have been here.

So far, although some British people think that the movie is good, most of them still accuse you of tampering with history. What do you think?

I said that this is just a movie, and it is undoubtedly stupid to regard the story as official history. If you think that Britain's history is like this because of this movie, then you really should go back to school and take a good lesson.

But don’t you think this description is biased?

Any novel or movie involving real characters is inevitably biased. Roosevelt is great, right?He led the United States to win World War II.But from a different perspective, I won’t talk about drinking when I was young. After becoming president, I showed affection with my wife but had no connection with my lover, and let the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, etc.So movies are just movies, and the display is always just one aspect. If you want to understand specific things, you still need to study them yourself.

Are you not worried that this movie will cause a political turmoil between England and Scotland?

If England and Scotland are going to be divided because of this movie, then their politicians must have come out of that joke.What did you say?Oh, the MPs' heads are the most expensive, because they have never used them before and are brand new.

As your fifth Miracle Girl, what do you think of Miss Sophie Marceau?

This question stunned Adrian, and then he saw Sophie, who was surrounded by reporters not far away, wearing a light blue high V-neck evening dress and a dark thin coat. He kept smiling and looked very elegant.

Sophie is a very good actress and we have a great time working together.

Adrian walked over immediately, and Sufi, who was shocked to realize his arrival, turned her head. Although her face remained the same, a trace of inexplicable light flashed in her big brown eyes. She was avoiding Adrian all night, but she didn't expect that she would still be caught up with him here.

She has characteristics that all French actresses have, beauty, elegance, and also impressive advantages that they do not have, such as the melancholy that cannot be described in words.It is precisely because of this that I invited her to play in this role, and it turns out that my choice was correct.

Adrian continued with a smile.

It's great to work with Mr. Adrian, who is a great director and it's also a great movie.Sophie's answer seems more formulaic.

Such an answer obviously won't satisfy the reporters. They were about to continue asking, but Adrian's car had already driven over. He immediately made a gesture to Sophie: I'll send you back, Sophie.

Without waiting for her to answer, he immediately said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: Believe me, this will solve these current problems.

Sophie frowned slightly, but still got into the car under his guard.

This undoubtedly made the reporters even more excited and got in the car and chased them.

There were even a few paparazzi riding motorcycles who were completely pure paparazzi, who were bold and bold when the car stopped when it encountered a red light and immediately stepped forward and took pictures of the car window.

OK, guys, these window papers are specially treated, and the flash cannot penetrate it. Be careful of your safety and do not hinder traffic.

Adrian put down the car window and kindly reminded him, but after hearing this, these guys exchanged glances, and immediately blocked the car and continued to press the shutter, not planning to move away until the car started.

These guys are really annoying.Sophie couldn't help but say angrily after getting on the road again.

Tabby reporters often use this trick, and you should be used to it.Adrian said comfortingly, shrugging his shoulders.

French journalists are not so crazy.Sophie's tone was still filled with complaints.

This is already good. If it were those British tabloid reporters, they would not move away even if I stepped on the accelerator and drove forward just now. They would use all means to anger you.

Adrian laughed, OK, Sophie, don't take it to heart, I'll go home alone when I send you back to the hotel, and they will definitely choose to continue following me.

That's your plan.Sophie glanced at him.

Yes, I know you don't like that title, and...well, don't talk about this.Adrian sighed, Anyway, they won't bother you.

Soon the car arrived at the hotel where Sophie was staying. Adrian waved his hand to stop the waiter, opened the car door for Sophie, said good night and left quickly.

After entering the hotel, looking at the reporters who followed him through the revolving glass door, Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, a feeling of loss surged into her heart again and could not be lingered.

With the official release of "Brave Heart", as everyone expected, the entertainment media in Britain and the United States began to become lively again.

Although many tabloids began to hype the scandal between Adrian and Sophie and talked about the fifth Miracle Girl, Adrian sent Sophie to the hotel in full view of everyone that night and drove home alone. His decent behavior was completely unaware of the mistakes. Some newspapers even described him as very gentlemanly and considerate, so the scandal did not attract too much attention. What people pay most attention to was the media's mouth.

Oh, freedom, what a good word. Adrian pieced together history into a story, and then added a long sensational story, so there was this "Brave Heart" that came from the Hollywood assembly line.

The English media still remained critical.

Freedom is something that everyone yearns for, and it is precisely because of this yearning that countless people will fight for it!William Wallace in the movie has no big relationship with William Wallace in history. Director Miracle wants to express his desire, struggle and sacrifice for freedom, rather than just the history of a nation's struggle.The person represented can be William Wallace or Che Wagra, so there is no need for the British to worry about this.

The American media also sang hymns as usual, and the sound of freedom in the last scene really touched the itch of mainstream society.

Although it is different from history, it does not prevent the film from being outstanding.The Scottish media is also in front of the spectators, and sometimes it is very beneficial to the spectators.

Sophie Marceau's performance is amazing, as gentle and affectionate as Princess Isabel in history, but also firm in heart. As for history, oh, you must understand that Hollywood movies need history to cooperate with them rather than them, even the director of Miracle is no exception.But then again, if Princess Isabel and Wallace had a one-night stand and became pregnant with each other's children, perhaps the movie would be even more interesting.

The French media also made a splash, and in just a few lines of sentences fully revealed their narcissistic, look down on Hollywood movies and their romantic personality that was inconsistent with the situation.

However, although the media continue to fight each other, the box office of "Brave Heart" has been rising, both in North America and the United Kingdom.

The box office in North America's first week of the New Year was US$24 million, easily topped the list. In the UK, not only Scots liked it, but also English people liked it. It is said that many young English people even followed Wallace to shout freedom in the movie at the end!

Is this funny right?

In fact, it is also normal. For a person with normal values, they can distinguish between movies and life. They watch movies and stories. As long as they can be moved, happy, and relaxed, no matter what the subject is, they will not think that what the movie is talking about is real.

However, there are always some more funny things in this world. For example, shortly after the movie was released, a member of the Scottish Parliament vowed to submit a bill to fight for independence.

idiot!

This is the first thought of all people with some brains. Scotland and England have been merged for so long, and have enjoyed the glory of the empire that has not set for so long, but now they want to be independent. What kind of fantasy is this?

Even if the Scottish Parliament really passes this ridiculous bill, neither the United States nor Europe will agree.

Although it was caused by "Brave Heart", the British media ignored Adrian and focused the firepower on the MP. Even a commenter quoted Adrian's remarks: As Director Miracle said, these MPs' heads have probably never been used. If there is a brain change surgery, they will definitely be sold for a large price. This is the first time I have agreed with him in this period.
