Chapter 435 435 Movie Chat

"What were you celebrating with your friends just now? It looks like I interrupted your party." Quentin looked at Pedro, who was dancing in place not far away. Fukukin and Alfonso were overjoyed beside them. A smile appeared on his face naturally.

Seeing Pedro's weird dance, Hugo couldn't help laughing, "We are celebrating that the band won a record contract, you didn't interrupt our party, I welcome you to join in. Share the joy."

Quentin looked at Hugo full of surprises, with an incredible look on his face. Although it was said that there were several waves in the circle about Hugo's musical talent, everyone was more willing to believe that this was just Hugo's hobby. It's really surprising to think that Hugo is about to become a singer now.

Looking at Quentin's surprised expression, Hugo was not surprised at all. When the band's album is officially released, it is estimated that this expression will only increase, and he can adapt to it in advance, "Actually, your appearance is a saving grace. With me, my stomach is already reaching its limit, and it's good for me to take a break."

"Then it's not appropriate for me to leave now." Quentin actually just came over to say hello and said he was going to leave.

"Oh, please, please stay here for a while. Of course, I will try my best not to vomit on you." Hugo pretended to be serious, looking at Quentin's surprised expression, he succeeded He laughed, "So, you are here for Scorsese tonight? Then you should inquire in advance to see if Scorsese will appear tonight."

"No no, he's promoting 'The. Age. Of. Innocence' in LA right now, I know he's not in NYC, I'm just curious, in this neighborhood, in these bars, if you can see him making the movie Traces." Quentin is indeed an avid movie fan, and his dedication to movies makes people sigh.

"You mean the Brooklyn Bridge?" Hugo also knew Martin Scorsese's movies very well, and the corresponding picture was immediately in his mind.

"Yeah, or the restaurant where Henry Hill and the others gathered to discuss." Quentin's expression immediately became interested, and he described it with great enthusiasm, "And the warehouse where Tommy was shot..."

"When you're describing these scenes, I can't help but think of the warehouse where Deborah danced. Is it because I'm having a dance party in my brain because of alcohol?" Hugo's words made Quentin laugh out loud. , the characters mentioned by Hugo and Quentin just now are from the "good guy" directed by Martin, while the character Deborah is from the Italian director Sergio. Leone directed " Once. Upon. A. Time. In. America".

"It's true, it's true." Quentin nodded in agreement. In fact, "Goodfellas" and "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​are two completely different works. What they have in common should be the hero Robert De Niro, and the works that describe New York gangsters, but both styles and stories are different. The works, but the memories carried by the city of New York are always so similar.

"So, which work do you like more?" Quentin could feel Hugo's understanding of these works. Out of a fan's mentality, he naturally wanted to discuss it together.

"Me? 'Once Upon a Time in America', I like his ending." Hugo's head was very excited. Alcohol slowed his thinking, but his cells were very active.

"Are you referring to the scene where Max jumps into the garbage shredder, or the scene where the noodle doesn't shoot," Quentin said cheerfully.

Hugo giggled, "Tell me! Of course, it's the scene where Noodle didn't shoot. This is the last and most important part of Noodle's entire characterization. In fact, I prefer to watch German Nero's performance in that whole scene was fantastic!"

Quentin didn't speak, just applauded his approval, "So, you don't like 'good guys'?"

"Do you like it?" Hugo asked directly.

"Of course!" Quentin said decisively without any hesitation, "This is one of my favorite movies, I absolutely love her, I have watched it over and over a dozen times, and I have almost every detail. Notice."

Hugo shrugged. "Sorry, not my favorite."

"Then do you prefer the 'Godfather' type?" Quentin asked very aggressively, as if Hugo had insulted his supreme work, which was really intolerable. Just look at Quentin's use of "she" to refer to the "Goodfellas" movie, and you can see that.

"That's not what I meant, 'The Godfather' and 'Goodfellas' are both excellent films, in fact, personally, it's hard for me to tell the difference between these two films, of course, since 'Goodfellas' doesn't have a sequel, I would have liked it a little more." Hugo was sarcastic at the third sequel of "The Godfather," which was considered to be significantly inferior to its predecessor, which made Quentin applaud hilariously, "I mean,' Goodfellas is not my favorite of Scorsese's work."

"So, is it a 'taxi driver'?" Quentin couldn't help but glanced at the surrounding bars again, as if scenes from Martin's film were just in front of him. This kind of strong New York style of Little Italy, You can't feel it anywhere else. In fact, among the "taxi drivers", you can also see many pictures similar to the surrounding neighborhoods.

Hugo shook his head again, "De Niro's performance in this movie is so good that my memory of the storyline is blurred. Of course, Foster's performance is also very bold." Quentin originally Seeing Hugo shaking his head, his expression suddenly dropped, but with Hugo's explanation, it eased, "I like Scorsese's 'Mean Street' the most."

Quentin was very surprised, "Why?" with a look of disapproval, "'Mean Streets' is his early film, his artistic style is not mature at all, everything is still being explored, and the fragments of the film are too trivial already."

Martin has had too many famous works in his nearly three decades of directing career so far, in addition to "Goodfellas" and "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", "The Last Temptation of Christ." (The. Last. Temptation. Of. Christ)", "After. Hours", "The. King. Of. Comedy" have all won numerous accolades, as for "Mean Streets" as Martin's career The early works were not well-known.

"You don't understand what I mean, in fact, many characteristics of 'Mean Streets' have formed the style of Scorsese's work, the New York background, the inner struggle of lonely people, pointy shoes, rock and opera Music, and unabashed bloody violence." Hugo's words made Quentin ponder, and these traits can be found in almost every Martin's work, except for the "Age of Innocence" that is currently being released - this work Also known as the movie that is the least like Martin, "It is for this reason that I like this movie very much, you can see the bud of a talented director's idea, maybe the finished film is a little trivial and messy, and it is also slightly It is very young, but the ideas and styles revealed by the film itself have already seen the talent of the director, which is a very rare thing."

Quentin didn't speak, but was savoring the words that Hugo said with his slightly big tongue, and then he heard Hugo laugh, "I have a special preference for the director's debut work, and some directors It was a blockbuster in the debut work. Some directors formed their own styles after years of accumulation, and some directors released all their energy in their first work and then disappeared. In any case, as the director's early works, There are always countless things to discuss. Don't I have such a director in front of me? Of course, I don't know how this director will develop in the future, and I'm looking forward to it."

Hugo's words made Quentin laugh shyly, then raised his head and covered his inner joy with a big laugh. As a movie fan, his works in the director's position can win recognition. A very miraculous thing.

What Hugo said is also true. Although Quentin will have more works that will shock the film industry in the future, Hugo has a preference for the movie "Reservoir Dogs". Many details in the movie are still talked about. For example, the movie The director of Madonna's "Like. A. Virgin" in the opening restaurant, for example, the protagonists of the movie used color as their name code, which are all memorable details.

"Sorry, I can't agree with you." Quentin shook his head and said after laughing.

"There's no way to agree on which part, the part about the director sitting in front of me?" Hugo's words made Quentin a little embarrassed again. Even a cheeky representative like him could only hide it with a smile.

"No, it's the Scorsese part. I still like his 'Goodfellas' the most, and 'Taxi Driver', not just like, I adore her." Quentin smiles but earnestly Speaking of.

Hugo raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and did not insist on it any longer. The aesthetics of movies is a very personal matter, and there is no movie in the world that everyone will like.

"You don't look like the type of person who likes gangster movies." Quentin looked at Hugo carefully. He originally just said hello, but he didn't want to find a common language by accident, which surprised Quentin.

Hugo curled his lips, "Are there any specific requirements for liking gangster movies? For example, a figure like Schwarzenegger?" Hugo's words made Quentin laugh, "Movies and music are an art, the biggest feature is not Does everyone have the right to like it? This is an art with no threshold and no boundaries. So, I think, I should not be the kind of fool who only likes romance movies, and you are not a weirdo who only likes horror movies, yes Bar?"

"You got to the point." The corners of Quentin's mouth rose again, expressing his approval.
