Chapter 332 Three-line narrative

"Jane, you're half an hour late."

In front of an amg theater in Manhattan, Ivanka Trump complained to the person who walked to her, "You asked me to come out to watch a movie, but I was late."

"Hey, Evie, you know the traffic in New York."

Showing an apology smile, Jane Lauder took her arm and walked towards the theater, "Hurry up, the scheduled show is about to begin."

"What movie?" Ivanka followed her into the theater and asked curiously, "Can you make you so anxious?"

"Duke Rosenberg's new film."

While talking, the two walked to the ticket window. It was Friday afternoon. There were not many people in the theater. They received the booked movie tickets. Jane Lauder pulled Ivanka Trump into the theater, found two suitable seats, and waited for the film to start screening.

Seeing that Ivanka Trump was silent, Jane Lauder suddenly asked, "I heard that you had an unhappy New Year party with Duke?"

"It's just a little misunderstanding."

Ivanka Trump adjusted his more comfortable position and said, "I met him at Wharton later, and we've already said it."

"Wharton?" Jane Lauder instantly revealed gossip, "He's going to find you?"

"No," Ivanka shook her head, "It seems like one of his directorial friends was shooting a movie near Wharton, and they happened to meet him."

"That should be Sofia Coppola." Jane Lauder made a judgment immediately.

This time the curious person was replaced by Ivanka. "Jane, it seems that you know him very well."

"He has few friends, only a few. One of them is Erin."

Rolling his eyes, Jane Lauder said helplessly, "When you have a sister who often talks about him, it's hard not to understand."

The little girl was all gossipy, and Ivanka asked inquiry, "Is he pursuing Erin?"

"No, he and Erin are just friends."

Speaking of this, Jane Lauder pointed to the big screen, "I won't talk anymore. The movie is about to begin."

Ivanka Trump breathed a sigh of relief. She had received a package from New Zealand some time ago, but she didn't expect that guy would still remember her...

After scattering these unreliable thoughts, she looked at the cinema. There were not many people, only more than a dozen.

“Isn’t Duke very famous?”

While the opening of the film was being played on the screen, Ivanka asked in a low voice, "Why are there so few people watching his videos?"

"Dear, it seems you don't know the film industry." Jane Lauder immediately became a teacher and taught, "This is just a small production with a $10 million investment. Warner Bros. hasn't done much publicity, and it's the off-season for films. Those who like big-scale commercial films won't come to see such small productions."

"Why are you pulling me?" Ivanka asked.

Jane Lauder immediately gave the answer, "Because I'm a Duke fan."

"Is his movie really that good?"

Hearing Ivanka's slightly questioning words, Jane Lauder turned to look at her and said seriously, "It's even better than you think."

Seeing my friend's comments, Ivanka Trump couldn't help but concentrate and look at the big screen.

The opening of the crown of Warner Bros. and Duke Studio flashed by, and a violent collision suddenly sounded in the theater. A high-power off-road vehicle hit the escort truck that had just opened the door in front of the bank. Two men wearing headbands and Kevlar body armor jumped off the off-road vehicle, holding ak-47 automatic rifle equipped with drums.

Robbing the bank's armored car? Ivanka had just had this idea. The rapid gunfire sounded like a heavy rain hitting the glass. The two bandits had no extra words or any extra moves, and they didn't even think about it. They aimed at the armored car and fired violently. Several escorts and bank security guards were immediately shot and fell to the ground. The bulletproof armored car was also shot out of the crater like a hornet's nest...

There is no hesitation, no mercy, or even no humanity. They are like bloated human-shaped monsters, constantly shooting...

Not only the escort and the security guards of the bank, but the cameras quickly switched, pedestrians in the distance were also affected, some were injured by bullets, and some cars were broken into glass. The entire bank was suddenly in panic.

The two bandits finally stopped shooting, and the vicinity of the armored truck had turned into a pool of blood. One person changed the drum and then monitored the surroundings with a gun. The other person crossed the body and entered the armored truck, but only took out a bag of money.

"Only one bag of money!"

Even with a head hood, you can see the anger shot out from his eyes. It seems that he will pick up his gun and aim it at the surrounding area and shoot again.

Fortunately, another gangster was rational and reminded him that the police would arrive at any time. The two ran to a Chevrolet parked on the side of the road and drove away.

From launching the robbery to finally escaping, it took less than 5 minutes for the two cars to escape from two street intersections. The bandits took off their head hoods and showed their fierce appearance, which was very consistent with the North American audience's consistent aesthetic of robbers and other aesthetics.

One of the bandits opened the bag of money. The bag was very big, but it contained a lot of money, so it didn't cost much at all.

"They will definitely commit the robbery again without robbing too much."

Before the camera switched back to the bank, Michael, the police officer played by Liam Neeson, was checking the scene, "The gangsters have automatic firepower and are equipped with steel core armor-piercing bullets..."

The scene was in a mess, and the video also used this method to emphasize the brute force and ruthlessness of the bandits. The robbery killed three people, seriously injured two people and slightly injured three people.

Such a serious case occurred, and the entire Los Angeles police were mobilized. As the temporary person in charge of the case, Michael also undertakes another task to notify the victim's family. The deceased has been beaten into a hornet's nest and is not suitable for the family to see immediately. For humanitarian reasons, the Los Angeles police will send someone to notify the family first so that they can be mentally prepared.

Just like the real cases promoted by mainstream media, the Los Angeles police must have a very good image in the video.

Duke is a mainstream director and he never thought about taking a non-mainstream path.

In fact, the theme of the film is very simple. It promotes the inevitable victory of justice that Hollywood has always advocated, explores the family issues that mainstream society cares about, and slightly touches on the psychological and ideological conditions of Larry Phillips and Emil Matasalino.

"It's not quite the same as Duke's past videos, the pace is a bit slow."

Ivanka Trump did not respond when he heard Jane Lauder's murmur. She was not an avid movie lover, just a bystander. When he saw the content of the film, he immediately remembered the North Hollywood bank robbery that the media had reported...

Compared with the impression, the film adaptation seems to be a bit large.

She secretly looked at more than a dozen people in the cinema, all of whom were staring at the screen, and it seemed that the video was quite attractive.

Ivanka was indifferent to gunfights and other things, and just wanted to know how the film developed. Moreover, the inhuman killing of the bandits at the beginning had already inspired her sense of justice and wanted to see the two people commit suicide as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why Duke handled this way at the opening of the film. The film has clear distinction between good and evil, so there is no need to hide it or defend the bandits.

In the video, a mother and daughter appear. The mother is cooking and waiting for her husband to come home. The daughter sits in front of the TV and watches the cartoon. She is happily joking with her mother from time to time. She is a very warm family.

However, the knock on the door sounded, and the news brought by police officer Michael broke the warmth of the family. The hostess went from being shocked, suspicious, sure, sad, and then to despair. Finally, she even collapsed on the sofa. Her daughter was led away by her hides at the turn of the stairs, and tears rolled silently from her face...

"I promise that the criminal will be brought to justice!"

Facing the pain of Catherine, Michael could only make such comfort. He had said this many times in the past, and most of them could not be fulfilled at all, but he saw that the broken family had never caught the gangsters.

"I promise, I will catch them!"

The grieving hostess, the little girl who cried silently, and the police officer who swore unceasingly, had endless intersections.

"This kid has good acting skills."

Jane Lauder is completely an expert, regardless of whether anyone listens or not, and he comments on his own, "It's much better than her mother's rigid face."

Ivanka Trump glanced at her with a squinted look, and continued to watch the video without any response.

After showing the grief of a broken family, the camera follows Officer Michael back to his home, and like all the heroic characters in Hollywood movies, there is always a problematic family behind the protagonist.

Although the camera is not a typical problematic girl, her somewhat indifferent expression and her stiff communication with Michael all interpret what it means to be a father and daughter without hatred. Moreover, the background of the family is also explained in the conversation between the two.

Because of work, Michael neglected to take care of his family, which led to the breakdown of the relationship between husband and wife. Lily, who grew up with her father, was in a rebellious period and was extremely hostile to her father's profession, believing that the profession of the police took away her originally happy family.

The father and daughter parted in a bad mood, and the two people hiding in the room performed differently. Michael didn't know how to communicate with his daughter in the rebellious period, and coupled with his anxiety about the case, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He is like most fathers in this world, deeply in love with his daughter, but cannot find a suitable way of expression.

On the other hand, under Lily's cold appearance, there was a heart that longed for family affection. The troubles caused by the breakdown of the family made her choose poison, and turned from big numb to Gu Kezhong. She chose to numb her pain by swallowing clouds and spitting mist.

Every family always has their own worries. In the three-line narrative, the other two lines also begin to appear in the camera. (To be continued)
