Jeremy's call calmed down Ike. When he walked into the theater again, he found that Jessica seemed to be attracted by the plot of the movie. Ike quietly sat next to her. After Jessica found it, she smiled at him, then turned to continue watching the movie.

The real war scenes and the human nature shown in the war are a huge selling point of this movie, and it can also be said to be the best place.

He made the audience feel that behind the cruel human battle is the fragile and touching side of human nature.

Spielberg mastered these two points very well. In history, the biggest problem pointed out by many critics to this movie is that the whole story of the movie looks illogical. This view does make sense. Just imagine how the US Department of the United States mobilized a soldier for a soldier and also paid the lives of officers and other soldiers for it.

The lives of soldiers in war are the most precious. They belong to war resources. It is absolutely unreasonable and unnecessary for a commander to issue such a task.

This is a flaw in this movie. But such an illogical story reflects the director's good intentions - the purpose of the war is to save people, not kill people.

It is precisely because of this original intention that the whole film is full of humanity. Spielberg did not describe too much in the film how unreasonable this task is, because the flaws are getting worse and worse. He cleverly used the plot and character dialogue to eliminate the audience's logical attention to this matter, and turned his attention to the characters he created.

Everyone in this movie, both the protagonist and the supporting role, is very real, just like what is shown in the real war. Without making a hero a mark, no one is afraid of death and no one can resist facing it.

At the end of the film, General Marshall wrote a letter from Ryan's mother. When the narrator read the letter with warm music, many viewers in the theater left tears.

"My dear Mrs. Ryan, I inform you with great pleasure that your son, James Ryan, was unscathed, and at this time he was on his way home from the European battlefield. Reports from the front said that James had performed his duties bravely and firmly, even after he learned that his family had suffered misfortune in this great war of overthrowing the reign and oppression.

I am very happy to join the Secretary of War, all the officers and soldiers of the US military, and American citizens wish you good health and a happy life with James around you. Only when your beloved son returns safely can you compensate for your heartache, and millions of other American families who have lost their loved ones in the war can also talk to themselves.

I hope to share with you the words that support me in this dangerous and painful night: ‘I pray that our merciful Father will appease your bereavement, leaving only the memories you love and lost, and the glory of glory belongs only to you, for you have given so much under the altar of freedom.’ Your sincere and responsible General George.c. Marshall, Chief of Staff”

Seeing this, Ike couldn't help but sigh, nnd, who said the US imperialists would not do political and ideological work? People can do their work in their hearts.

It was already 11 o'clock at night when the film ended, and Ike and Jessica drove back home.

"What are you thinking? Jessica?" Ike asked when he saw Jessica leaning against the back of the car and staring out the window.

"Haha." Jessica turned and smiled at Ike, "It's nothing, my thoughts are still in the movie."

"Does it look good?" Ike asked.

"Well, what a good movie." Jessica replied.

Ike nodded and said with a smile, "Indeed."

"By the way, you haven't told me what it means?" Ike asked suddenly.

"Haha." This sentence pulled Jessica back, "I won't tell you."

"god!" Ike shook his head, "I'll know sooner or later."

After the car arrived at the community where Jessica was staying, he stopped. Jessica still kissed Ike's cheek gently, and then said, "I was the happiest moment when I watched the movie with you today."

After saying that, he trotted into the community without waiting for Ike to reply. After a while, the light yellow color disappeared into the night.

It is early September, and the post-production of "The Walker of the Insular" has been basically completed on September 8. The promotion of this movie has basically been carried out from the beginning of the post-production. What we need to do now is to increase the publicity efforts.

The 3D company has arranged a trial screening for this movie. The so-called trial screening means that before the official release, some passers-by invited to the movie, about 20 people, from all walks of life, and watched the movie together. Then tell the company some opinions on the movie after watching it, and the company will make some adjustments to the movie based on the trial screening reaction before the official release.

Not only does the company not charge money for the preview, but it also has to pay for the people who watch the film. This tradition has always been there in Hollywood, and can even be traced back to the 1930s.

The preview videos are usually something that the company is not sure about or has high expectations. Before you can't get the market, you have to try it first, and some will even be previewed several times.

"The Walker of the Infinite" was the preview of Ike. He made some changes to the film, so he wanted to see the effect first. If there are plots and the audience's poor response, he would use the last time before the release to make changes.

As for the screening time of this movie, Ike also made it clear that he would make a decision after the preview.

On September 10, "The Walker of the Stop" was first previewed in the 3d company's small screening room. The specific implementer of this plan was Jeremy of the Distribution Department, and Ike did not participate in it personally.

Ike also had an important publicity event at this time, that is, his agreement with Oprah. They had already agreed half a year ago that he would participate in the "Oprah Show" again before his new movie was released. Ike also hopes to use this opportunity to better promote "The Walker".

So, at this time, he led some crew members of the "Infinite Walker" crew to Chicago.

Those who went with him were Kate Beckinsale, Brad Pitt, Jude Law, and John Cusack. These people are now like a united five-man group, and they look particularly friendly to meet again. Especially Kate, who is almost always full of ambiguity when she sees Ike.

Unlike the last show recording, this episode of "Opra Show" not only brought Ike and his group of people, but before Ike took the stage, another group of people first came on stage.

Who are this group of people? Oh, they are several players of the Chicago Bulls who just won the NBA championship, as well as head coach Phil Jackson.

These players are amazing. They are all the most powerful stars in the United States today, Mike Jordan, Scotty Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Cukoc.

The Chicago Bulls just won the second three-game title, and Jordan announced his retirement for the second time after this season. They brought incredible honor to the city.

This season, under the leadership of "Flying Man" Jordan, they achieved an unprecedented record of 72 wins and 10 losses. Jordan's name is destined to be deeply rooted in the minds of basketball fans all over the world.

It can be said that at this moment, no star is a star in his eyes, but has become a fan. The crew of "The Walker of the Infinite" is no exception. When they were in the background, they chatted with several players and coaches.

Kate even asked Jordan for his autograph and photo!!!

"I really want to make a biography for you now," Ike said, holding the tall Jordan, "You have infected the whole country, I am your fans."

"Oh, you're so polite, Director Ike, we all like your movies, we will definitely support your new movies." Jordan said politely with a smile.

"Can I be the protagonist of your movie?" Rodman on the side smiled.

"Oh, of course, Dennis." Ike joked, "I'm afraid I can't afford you. You have to know that a movie has a limited budget."

"Haha" everyone laughed.

"Hi, hey, all the stars." Oprah came over at this time, "Wow, this scene is really spectacular. This Oprah show must have seen a surge in ratings."

She said as she walked up to everyone, "Well, everyone will follow the established procedures, Phil, you go first, I know you will have an event later. Director Ike, you just have to wait a moment."

"No problem, Ms. Oprah, we actually want to see how you interview these superstars of the emperor." Ike responded with a smile.

Oprah shrugged, "I'm under such a lot of pressure today."

"How could it be, we all grew up watching your show." Jordan said while smiling and pinching Oprah's shoulders, like an old pair of friends.

"Okay, let's do it, prepare for 10 minutes." Oprah finished speaking and walked into the studio.

"Mr. Jordan." Ike walked up to Jordan at this time, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Jordan. "I hope that after you retire, we can have the opportunity to work together in movies and invest in it."

"Oh, you're so kind, Director Ike, I mean that too." Jordan smiled and took the business card, "Oh, this is my phone call. If you have anything, you can call me at any time."

"Thank you, I think we'll have a chance."

"Of course." Jordan smiled.

"By the way, if you go to Los Angeles, you must come to my house to sit down. I hope you can teach me how to play basketball." Ike warmly sent out the invitation.

"I'm honored, of course."

This is the first time Ike has come into contact with the greatest NBA star in history so close. It gives him the feeling that Jordan is easy-going and approachable.

In history, Jordan later made a comeback, joined the Washington Wizards, and became one of the bosses of the team. Later, he acquired some shares of the Bobcats.

Ike was considering that since he came to this world and met Jordan, why didn’t he invest in an NBA team together in the future?

It must be an interesting thing to be the owner of an NBA team. Of course, if he is asked to choose, his ideal team is the Los Angeles Lakers and the other is the Golden State Warriors.

This day will definitely come. Ike thought to himself

"It's time to go on stage, Phil." At this time, the program assistant came over to notify the Chicago Bulls players.

"I'll go first." Jordan patted Ike's shoulder and said.

"Ok, everything goes well," said Ike.

"Dear viewers, in the past season in NBA, which team has made us most excited?" The new "Opra Show" in the front desk has begun recording, and Oprah still has a passionate opening remark.

"Our Bulls" audiences who were prepared long ago shouted that there were at least 2/3 of these fans, and the rest were movie fans.

Ike has nothing to do with this. At this moment, not to mention him, even the whole Hollywood cannot be compared with the Chicago Bulls.

"Next, we have a treat, Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Scotty Pippen, and Kukocchi."

With Oprah's introduction, the audience applause and cheers Lei Dong also walked into the studio with a smile on his face.

"Do you guys like to watch NBA?" Ike turned around and asked.

"Of course," Cusack said.

"They are so unlimited now." Brad Pitt looked at the front desk with some envy.

"Yes, we're all our 'heartthrob' Pete." Ike made Pitt joke.

"Go to your special smile.

"I think they're not just playing basketball," Kate said, leaning over to Ike, "they're role models for young Americans now."

"You mean, they have become a culture beyond sports?" Ike asked.

"It's a bit of that." Kaite nodded.

"Look at our Miss Kate, Pete. Study hard. Other people's level is obviously higher than you." Ike continued to joke.

"Oh, God, you know I don't mean that, I hate it." Kate gave Ike a blank look, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Just as Ike and his group headed to Chicago to participate in the "Opra" show, the first preview of "The Walker of the Skies" also ended.

After the video was finished, Jeremy walked to the audience who participated in the preview. "Tell me, what are your opinions?"

He took out a pen and a folder as he said, preparing the record.

There was a silence at first, and the audiences about 20 looked at each other, but they didn't say it first. Jeremy shook his head and said, "What do you think? Tell me boldly. You know the purpose of this trip..."

"Let me talk first." The gentleman who thought he was wearing glasses and wearing a white shirt spoke first.
