The feeling after watching this movie
–Richard Jewell……
(https://images.app.goo.gl/tpNtw2wsebuvM8gC8)
★Synopsis
Richard Jewell is
directed by Clint Eastwood, adapted from a feature story entitled "American
Nightmare: The Ballad of Richard Jewell" published in Vanity Fair in 1997,
which describes the beginning and end of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park
bombing and the defamation that Richard Jewell suffered during the
investigation.
In the movie, Richard
Jewell, played by Paul Walter Hauser, was the first person to find a bomb in
the Centennial Olympic Park. He evacuated the crowd and protected some people
from disaster. The media reports have made him a hero and even have to write a
book for him, but it started because of the media and was destroyed because of
the media. He was reported by the mass media as the number one suspect in the
incident three days later. Although Clin Eastwood is based on a self-reported
story, in fact, the characters set in the movie are still different from the
real life. The behind-the-scenes stories of the actors and characters in the
movie are listed below.
★About
the plots and the real life
From the description
of the movie, Richard became the suspect, originally due to a report by the AtlantaJounal-Constitution
reporter, Kathy Scruggs. The movie was written by Olivia Wilde, who seduced an
FBI agent in exchange for intelligence and learned that the FBI was planning to
investigate Richard.
Kevin Riley, editor of
the Atlanta Constitution newspaper, protested this seriously, saying the crew
had no evidence. After the movie was released, the Atlanta Constitution
newspaper publicly condemned the movie.
However, the publisher,
Warner Brothers also responded to the criticism, mentioning:
"The Atlanta Constitution,
which was actively criticizing Richard Jewell at the time, is now also trying
to slander our directors and actors. This is indeed an unfortunate and ironic
development."
It is worth mentioning
that Jon Hamm and Ian Gomez played two FBI agents investigating Richard Jewell
in the movie. The design of these two characters is not based on the real. They
are based on the deeds of several FBI investigators.
★The characters and actors
Richard Jewell died of
diabetes in 2007 at the age of 44. In order to explain the role, Paul Walter Hauser
spent some time with Richard Jewell's mother, Bobi Jewell, during the filming
of the movie. He said that when he met with Barbie, he was really much more
nervous than when he met Clint Eastwood, because Clint Eastwood and he have
similarities in career choices. But when he met with Bobi, what they had in
common was to describe this tragedy. He was quite worried, but Bobi gave him a
lot of affirmations and some suggestions from the performance, that is, some
more realistic details.
Watson Bryant played
by Sam Rockwell, who was also unfamiliar with Richard Jewell's story. However,
he said in an interview that he would not look at the movie politically. And he
thought this is an old-school drama about injustice, like John Grisham's novel,
or Arthur Miller's The Crucible. This kind of movies is really becoming rarer. So,
he thought it was important to use a movie to tell Richard Jewell's story. And
at the same time, he also hoped that everyone in the United States knows that
Richard Jewell is a hero. Until now, many people still think that Richard
Jewell was connected with the bomb attack. People have never noticed that he has
washed away his grievances.
“Bobi Jewell” played
by Kathy Bates who was Richard's mother, she accompanies and supports Richard
all the way. Kathy Bates also spent a lot of time with Bobi in order to
interpret this corner. She expressed her hope that the movie would become a
"warning prophecy" in the eyes of the audience. That is the
government could make mistakes, and the media could also make mistakes. But
even so, she didn't want people to hate the media and the government after
watching this movie. Because what society needs most now is to make the media
show the most to people about its sincere side. They have great enthusiasm for
their profession, and the audience can’t blame them entirely. This is a
cautionary prophecy. She think we need to slow down and think about the whole
incident.
Kathy Scruggs played
by Olivia Wilde, the reporter for the Atlanta Constitution, who was the first
reporter to mention Richard Jewell as a suspect in the Centennial Olympic Park
bombing. She was portrayed as a journalist who flirts with FBI agent Tom Shaw
to get first-hand coverage. In every respect, Kathy is a bold, smart, and
fearless female journalist. With her background in the southern United States
in the 1990s, it can’t imagine how much sexism she encounters in the workplace.
★Conclusion
"Richard Jewell",
while pointing out what is really true, has also done the similar question to
itself. So if the audience has only watched the movie and has no further understanding
of the real event, I was afraid they would not know the correct information
under such circumstances.
For example, the female
journalist may not do the sex trade in fact. Such a situation makes the Richard
Jewell transcend itself, so it is with its own existence, once again reminding
us that when we judge the things we see, we actually have to be more careful
and make sure that what we see is really completely believable.
This concept is even
more important in this era than the time of the event in the movie. And because
of this, Richard Jewell is indeed a movie that is worth watching and also quite
good-looking. “Did we accidentally become the object of our complaint when we
complained?” In this regard, perhaps it is one of the important points that we
need to keep in mind when watching Richard Jewell.
