- Accompanied by a brisk soundtrack, a large group of teenagers including Bethany and Alana were listening to the lessons of youth mentor Sarah at Kauai North Shore Christian Church on the big screen. @ÀÖ£À@ÎÄ@С@ said that Sarah was talking cheerfully, and everyone was laughing one after another, but Bethany was very serious, almost serious, and she was obviously the most devout believer here.
"You will encounter many difficulties and setbacks in life." Teacher Sarah added, "But, 'Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.' This is " Joshua Chapter 1¡Verse 5.¡±
With everything on camera, Bethany, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her hand. Alana 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 shot.
Amid the roaring laughter of the crowd, she walked back to the podium, picked up a Bible, read it, looked at Bethany who was also laughing over there, and said loudly: "You are right! But you are a nerd." Everyone. The laughter grew louder, and Bethany rolled her eyes with laughter.
The laughter of the Harvard-Westlake students in Ye¡¯s family off-screen has another level of fun, and they know it! Brother Wei once did such a thing!
The chuckles echoed in the theater auditorium. It was hard for people, especially young people, not to like the funny and kind mentor Sarah. Bethenny undoubtedly showed everyone how familiar she was with the Bible and doctrines. Even the youth mentors could not compare with her. .
The Hamilton family in Brown Bear Cinema knew that this was a dramatic adaptation, and Emma knew the deep meaning of these lines. Sarah truly understood these verses and had accepted and overcome the test. Bethenny was just familiar with it. She just reads scriptures, she is a bookworm who has not experienced the test of fate.
But Bethany is so kind-hearted. She not only corrected Sarah's mistakes, but then Sarah told everyone about a volunteer charity event on the Big Island of Hawaii. She was the most active when she heard about the activity time and training time. There is a conflict, Sarah let her be absent, prepare well for the Hawaii regional competition next month, and then participate in future activities.
However, after some hesitation, Bethany decided to sacrifice a weekend of training time to help others with Sarah. Her voice was cheerful: "God loves the world, how can we not?" Sarah smiled and nodded in agreement.
Toronto, Mihaela looked at Nina and felt that she saw the shadow of her daughter in Bethany, although Nina was not so enthusiastic about Christ.
Bethenny has the youthful and lively enthusiasm, she is friendly on the court and encourages her opponents off the court. She loves her family, is loyal to her faith, is familiar with the Bible and is keen on charity. There is nothing bad about her, but when she has such thoughts , the audience will be moved to the point of feeling cold.
Because the inevitable story expectation is that something will happen to Bethany, something will happen to Bethany.
A strange light flashed through the bearded fat man¡¯s squinted eyes, geniuses are bold
No matter how much criticism there is, viy¡¯s talent and pride are there. So far, the film has been screened, and the camera use and other arrangements are very ordinary, and there is nothing remarkable yet. However, in terms of script adaptation and the theme of the story, Ye Wei's treatment is very bold.
We¡¯re already halfway through the first act. Did Bethany make any mistakes? No, everything about her is correct and beautiful, and should be rewarded rather than punished.
And Bethenny being attacked by a shark is a punishment in the rules of the storytelling game, a punishment from God, that is, a test of fate.
In countless stories, including Ye Wei's own short film "Dance of Angels", there is a reason why the protagonist gets into trouble. This reason causes the protagonist to get into trouble. When the protagonist recognizes this reason and solves the problem, he is reborn and the story comes to an end. .
Just imagine if Bethany showed even a little bit of arrogance towards Ashley. She was so carried away by victory and success that she forgot about God's will. She had a dispute with Sarah mentor, between training and charity. Choosing training means choosing yourself and leaving love.
This is sinful, and these foreshadowings will naturally push her to be punished.
?? Which is better, self, surfing vs. love, or the broader world? Which is the truth?
This will naturally become the theme of the film, and when Bethany experienced her redemption journey, because of something that touched her heart, maybe it was a charity event to help others, she abandoned herself and realized the true teachings of God, love. . She was resurrected, won a surfing competition, and the story was over.
Self ¡ú abandon self
Pay attention to appearance ¡ú look down on appearance
Not helping others¡úhelping others
Failure¡úVictory
Hollywood and ** movies usually tell stories this way, now what about this "Soul Surfer"?Ye Wei didn¡¯t say that! Not at all. Now Bethany on the big screen is not only not guilty, but she has merit. Everyone can see her benevolence, kindness, and beauty. She is not egotistical and is beyond the maturity of ordinary people. She sacrifices herself to help others. Maybe She is the most faithful Christian in the world.
What Bethany is doing now is what she should be doing after the ending of the film. If the person who makes up stories and tells them has mediocre qualifications, it will happen.
The bearded fat man smiled in his heart. Ye Wei really caught it. The guilty Bethany was punished by God and then redeemed. It was just a plain story no matter how you told it. But the innocent Bethany was punished by God
The tension of the film is actually buried in the dark. When a disaster destroys all this beauty, thanks to the real persuasiveness of the huge twist in this story, it will be shocking. It seems that this is a story of self-redemption, and it is also an anti-traditional story of self-redemption.
Looking at the images on the screen, professional filmmakers will think more, expect and be more surprised; but ordinary audiences are just watching movies, with beautiful Hawaii, sweet and kind girls, and amazing story expectations, "impatient" "The term doesn't seem to be very popular.
The word "envy" arises in the hearts of many young people.
Bethany and Alana are both homeschooled, and Cheri tutors them because the nearest high school is a 40-minute drive away, and that time might as well be spent on surfing training. Cheri's education is both warm and strict. It is the eve of Halloween. At night, at Alana's instigation, Bethenny secretly leaves home to join the young people's night surfing.
But she went after finishing her homework, but Alanna didn't, and kept urging, "I can't take care of it!" But she insisted, so she went late. When the two of them arrived, the activity was almost over, and they also went into the water to surf and swim. , watching handsome guys, laughing and enjoying youth.
Brown Bear Cinema, seeing this, Alanna Blanchard seemed to have returned to three years ago. She was really dumbfounded. Ye Wei was not there, but he restored it.
October 31st arrived on the screen, and the atmosphere in the theater began to freeze. In the early morning at Hamilton's house, Sherry and Bethany talked about last night's night surfing, and Bethany smiled and expressed her apology; Tom was going to the hospital to have his knee repaired. After the surgery, his second brother Tim drove him there; Bethany and Alana and her daughter were going to morning surf training; Sheri and her eldest brother Noah stayed at home to decorate for Halloween.
"See you later, sweetheart."
"See you later, Dad, the operation went well."
On the porch of the house, everyone said goodbye with a smile. Bethany hugged her surfboard and happily followed Alana and the other three.
She didn't know what was going to happen.
The hearts of the audience are tugging. From Los Angeles to New York, from Hawaii to Toronto, dark clouds of tension are forming. Those few viewers who didn't know were still intoxicated by the bright soundtrack, which was warm and youthful.
The scenery of the coast in the early morning is endless, and the sound of waves reaches the ears of the audience. When the four Bethanys came to the beach, they laughed and ran to the sea to go surfing!
This is destined to be a cross montage. The camera is all in the hospital operating room. Tom is lying on the operating table in hospital clothes. Two nurses are busy. The surgeon David Rowinski opens the door and walks into the operating room and asks : "Tom, has the anesthetic started to take effect? ??How do you feel?" Tom replied: "A little bit." David nodded and said with a smile: "In a while, you will feel nothing at all, and then we will let you go right away. Back to the ocean and surfing with Bethany." Tom smiled: "Thanks, David."
The scene changed. At Tunnel Beach, the four of them swam to the sea, surfed, and laughed. There were aerial shots and sea shots, but no upward shots from the sea. There seemed to be no danger.
The scene changed again. At Hamilton's house, Sherry and Noah were chatting while decorating the decorations. She asked: "Have you really participated in surfing on a full moon night?" Noah laughed and said: "Mom, everyone on the island All children will go, and Beth is just a child, and she will beg for candy tonight." Sherry said with a motherly smile.
The scene suddenly reached the sea. From the upward angle lens, you can see the sun shining through the sea surface and a surfboard passing by. The camera shot up rapidly in an instant. When it rushed out of the sea, it cut to a panoramic shot overlooking the sea. Only Besser could be seen. Ni is surfing.
Countless viewers¡¯ hearts suddenly tightened, and they were startled by the movement of the camera.
Kimberly Pierce clearly felt her heart tightening little by little. Due to the foreshadowing, even if she knew what would happen she still felt nervous, but because of that expectation, there was another kind of chilling feeling. disturbed.
No one wants that to happen, but it will happen. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She really ruined "Carrie".
What¡¯s on the screen??After the mixed editing of surfing shots and sea shots, the screening room is like a strangely taut string that is about to break at any time. At this time, looking down at the camera, Bethany and Alana are lying on the board and floating in the sea. Holt and Byron are in the distance, and the camera zooms in on the two girls laughing and talking about the evening's Halloween activities.
The roaring sound of the sea gradually turned quiet. Bethany closed her eyes and spread her hands to play in the water like a dance. The sea water was undulating, and the sun shone on the sea surface.
This scene is really beautiful, but the turbulent undercurrent made the audience feel depressed and couldn't bear to watch this shocking contrast.
"Beth" Alanna paddled to swim closer.
The camera focuses on Bethany¡¯s left hand from Alanna¡¯s perspective. In a close-up, her left hand swings gently, as if she is gently soothing the audience¡¯s suffocating hearts.
In the frontal close-up shot, Bethenny closed her eyes and smiled, sighing softly: "Life is so beautiful, thank God."
Just before thank-god finished speaking, God's final tone had already turned into a scream, a gray shadow rolled out of the sea, and Bethany shook. In a fleeting close-up shot, the audience watched helplessly as the gentle left hand suddenly spread its fingers, trembling, being submerged in the blood-red seawater and sinking into darkness.
The whole screen seemed to be splattered with blood, and the theater burst into exclamations. The surrounding audience members said "Oh no" in silence, and Pierce seemed to be struck by thunder.
Guggenheim's eyes widened, and he actually used such an extremely ironic, penetrating, and vicious line here. Can viy really save the story?
The camera on the screen suddenly cut to a panoramic view, and the leaping gray shadow fell back into the sea. The sea surface was dyed blood red at the same time and spread. Bethany almost fell into the sea, and Alanna screamed miserably: "Sharks, there are sharks!!!"
The soundtrack suddenly sounded, like a sudden storm, heavy and panicked. In the double shot, the faces of the Holts and his son changed, and they immediately paddled over, "Stay on the board, don't fall into the water!" Everything in the shot, Bei Sani barely lay down on the surfboard. Only a small section of her left arm was bleeding profusely. She looked painful and dazed.
"Go back to the shore! Hurry!" Everything was so panicked. The Holts pulled Bethany's board to help her paddle back. Alanna followed closely, and Bethany's right hand was trembling as she paddled. The aerial footage allows the audience to see the four people getting closer and closer to the coast, and a shocking blood trail drifts in the sea.
The thunderous soundtrack became more and more terrifying, and the four people returned to the shore where they were stranded, "Call an ambulance!" Holt calmly used clothes to block the wound on Bethany's left arm, while instructing his children to help, please. Lun rushed to the parking lot in the beach woods first, while Alanna helped pull Bethany back.
The air in the screening hall solidified, and huge psychological oppression invaded every audience member
The cross-cut montage continues. In the hospital operating room, Dr. David is about to start an operation on Tom. The door of the operating room is suddenly pushed open. A nurse rushes in and says urgently: "Doctor, we need this operating room. A 13-year-old girl is in the operating room." The North Shore has been attacked by sharks."
Tom¡¯s expression changed when he heard it, and David followed the nurse out quickly. Tom asked in surprise: ¡°Who is it?¡±
"I'll go take a look." David looked back and said, "Tom, stay there."
Byron was on the phone in the woods; the Holts and their daughters were rescuing Bethany on the beach; the ambulance was rushing on the road, its siren blaring very harshly.
At Hamilton's house, Cheri answered the ringing cell phone and asked with a smile: "Hello?" After a few seconds, her face turned frightened, the phone dropped to the ground, and she ran outside like crazy. Noah asked in surprise, "Mom?" and chased after him.
Countless parent viewers were heartbroken as the screen returned to the beach, with Byron rushing back to help carry Bethany back to the forest road.
In the operating room of the hospital, David came back and said to Tom seriously: "It's Bethany." Tom, who had been moved to the hospital bed, turned red and made a cry of surprise. 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 held him down and said loudly: "Don't move, don't make trouble, we will do our best to save her." Tom's face was full of urgency and grief.
On the forest road by the beach, Bethany was urgently moved from the surfboard to the stretcher by the medical staff, and then pushed into the ambulance. Holt followed in, and when the ambulance drove away, Alanna cried out in pain, and Byron hugged her shoulders, also at a loss.
In the emergency ambulance, Bethany was lying on a stretcher. There was no blood on her face and lips. She seemed to be confused and on the verge of death.
A middle-aged female nurse who had appeared in the church before held her right hand and encouraged her: "Bethany, hold on, God will never leave or??Forsake you, God will never leave or abandon you"
God-will-never-leave-lure-or-forsake-lure
Listening to these words, Claire¡¯s mind was empty and she felt an indescribable sadness. She felt that even devout believers were in complicated moods at this moment.
At this time, a three-frame split screen appeared on the big screen. On the left was an image of Noah driving his mother to the hospital, with Sherry praying in confusion; in the middle was an image of an ambulance rushing to the hospital with Bethany dying in the car. On the right is the hospital operating room. Tom was pushed out by the nurses. He looked heavy. Tim, who was waiting in the aisle, leaned against the wall weakly.
Divided into three frames, the family soon became three close-ups, a dazed Cheri, a comatose Bethany, and a miserable Tom.
¡°The cars, ambulances and hospital beds are all moving, they are all moving, but they are closely connected. It is not just the camera that connects them, but also flesh and blood ties.
And the heartbreaking pain!
That pain closely connected the audience.
Because Bethenny is completely innocent and beautiful, the audience can feel such complete and visceral pain.
The camera is talking! Pierce took a deep breath, this is what directors do, this is what directors do! The previously plain images exploded with this cross-montage. Ye Wei was putting his own stamp on this film. He was performing vividly, and his performance 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 split images on the screen merged into one in the hospital corridor. Doctors and nurses pushed Bethany's hospital bed towards the operating room, Tom's hospital bed was pushed away, and Sheri and Tim rushed over. "Baby!" At the moment when the two hospital beds crossed each other, Tom looked at his daughter who was fine an hour ago and was unconscious with a broken arm. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Bethany¡¯s bed was pushed into the operating room. Sherry¡¯s footsteps gradually slowed down and stopped. She covered her face with her hands to cover up her choked cries. Both Noah and Tim looked ashen, and Holt stood there feeling guilty. The soundtrack stopped and there was dead silence.
They can¡¯t see the situation in the operating room, and the audience can¡¯t see it either. There¡¯s only dead silence and unquenchable heartache.
The seemingly calm story in the first 20 minutes stirred up a shocking 7 minutes, stabbing everyone in the heart. Guggenheim already understood the real theme of the film, and what Ye Wei really wanted to talk about came to the surface with the sharks.
The sound that resumed in the screening room was the sound of rustling waves. The ultimate soft light was like being in heaven. The sun reflected the blond hair. Bethenny was walking on the sea. She opened her hands and looked up at the sky with a bright smile. Obviously this was the scene she imagined with her eyes closed before the accident.
"Bethany?"
Suddenly, there was a faint call. Bethany opened her eyes and turned around to look. There was a terrifying crash, and a huge wave burst out of the sea and rushed towards her.
The audience¡¯s hearts tightened again, and they finally relaxed a little when the camera reached the hospital ward, even though they knew that Bethany was not dead.
?? Panoramic shot, I saw everyone from the Hamilton family and the Blanchard family were there, all silently distracted. Bethany was on the hospital bed receiving plasma and intravenous drip. Her face was pale, and her left arm had become a ball wrapped with white gauze.
No one has noticed that Bethany woke up yet. She looked expressionless, her eyes slowly turned around to see her surroundings clearly, she moved her right hand, and sighed very softly.
This sigh made Cheri look at him immediately, with a flash of joy and a forced smile, "Hey, sweetheart." The panoramic camera showed everyone in the room moving, Tom running towards the balcony, Alanna looked over, and everyone gathered around Toward the hospital bed. Bethany asked softly: "When can I surf again?" Everyone fell into silence again.
Many viewers who heard it were sighing. She was not being optimistic and humorous, she was asking seriously, because she had already understood. She vaguely knew what losing an arm would mean to her in the surfing arena and to her future. , she wanted to know for sure.
"Just wait until you recover." Tom answered the question. He sat down by the bed and held his daughter's right hand tightly. He was a proud father and a painful father.
"Oh." Bethenny responded feebly, "My shoulder hurts." Noah went to call the doctor, and Cheri repeatedly comforted: "Sweetheart, it's going to be fine" In the three-person shot, over there Holt said: "You are really very strong." Byron nodded, Alanna's lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say anything to comfort her.
Dr. David entered the ward and had a conversation with Bethany. Only then did the audience understand how critical it was before. Bethany lost up to 60% of her blood. If Holt hadn't handled it in time and rescued her quickly, she might have died
David said a few words of encouragement and was about to leave. While Tom and Sherry were sending the doctor out, mentor Sarah arrived in a hurry in the corridor. She said hello and walked into the ward first, "Hey, hey!" Her joyful smile and laughter really made the audience feel like there was a ray of sunshine shining through the gloomy clouds.
"Beth, are you okay?" Sarah entered the right side of the frame of the double shot and sat down next to the hospital bed.
"I don't understand" Bethenny turned to look at her, her brows frowning slightly, "Am I a bad person?"
Panoramic shot, no one spoke, Tom and Sherry were sad.
Is Bethany a bad person or a good person? Guggenheim sighed, yes, this is it. Of course Bethenny is a good girl, so why do bad things like this happen to good people? She is so kind, so pious, so good. If there is a God, why would God do this to her?
Why let this happen? Why let bad things happen?
When she asked "Am I a bad person?", it meant that she questioned God, her faith began to waver, the good things began to be shattered, and all kinds of bad things began to breed.
The audience just watched helplessly as the most beautiful things turned into dust, and watched her fall into the abyss physically and mentally. But why? Bethenny doesn't understand, and neither does the audience, so we empathize with her emotionally, sympathize with her, and tense up with her, hoping that she will find the answer, and the audience also wants to know the answer.
They knew there would be, because another story predicted that Bethenny would defy all odds and return to surfing.
However, at this moment, the screening room was filled with deep breaths, and various emotions were surging and intertwined.
On the screen, Bethenny's eyes were red, and Sarah lowered her head and leaned closer. She was not as funny as before. She spoke very gently and sincerely: "'Because I know the arrangements I have for you.' This is what the Lord has said, 'Arrangements.' It is to nurture you, not to harm you, to give you hope and a future. 'This is Jeremiah 29:11."
Close-up shot, tears welling up in Bethany's eyes, she opened her eyes steadily, visible sadness, but not sure what she was thinking, terrible silence.
The film was shown for 31 minutes, and the first act ended.
The originally perfect, calm, and conflict-free sea turned into turbulent waves because of this real turn. - Didn't finish reading?
