The prototype of "I Am Not a Medicine God" is Xu Yong, who is called "Medicine God" by patients, and he suffers from chronic myeloid leukemia, and for many years he has been buying "generic drugs" for patients at low prices, so he was imprisoned in a detention center for 135 days. It is said that within a week of the release of "Medicine God", Xu Yong's factory received doubled orders, and the audience used this method to express their respect.
The prototype of "Captain China" is Liu Chuanjian, the captain of Sichuan Airlines Flight 3U8633, who led 9 crew members and 119 passengers to complete the miraculous safe return and landing at the critical moment of the cockpit windshield bursting. Ordinary heroes in real life, because of their ordinary and real, have more powerful power to conquer people's hearts.
Not only Chinese audiences love to watch realistic films, but American audiences also love to watch them. Almost every year, the United States will launch a film based on real people and real events, and the legendary old man Clint Eastwood, nicknamed "Uncle Dongmu" by the audience, is a good at discovering ordinary heroic stories.
Westerns started, acted and directed well, after winning 5 small gold men, he was nearly 90 years old and strong. In recent years, after the Westerns of the caretaker, a new strength has been discovered, that is, to create civilian heroes based on real people and real events, focusing on small people against power, showing how justice and fairness are achieved, and overcoming all difficulties to create miracles.
Based on the autobiography of the same name by renowned American sniper Chris Kyle, 2015's American Sniper tells the legendary story of the Navy SEALs sharpshooter, selling $547 million at the box office and winning six Oscar nominations, making it one of The New York Times' most influential films.

After "American Sniper" and "Captain Sully", "Uncle Toki" made "The Lamentations of Richard Jewell", which was hailed as the "Civilian Hero Trilogy" along with the first two. A few days ago, "The Lamentations of Richard Jewell" was officially announced to be scheduled for January 10, 2020.
There are stable levels of the old man for decades, the first two pearls in front, this one has aroused strong concern as soon as it was released in the United States. Judging from the feedback from American fans and the media, the film is quite outstanding, and it was selected as one of the top ten films of the year in the National Critics Association Awards!
Compared with the legendary sniper who took the life of a hundred steps and the star captain who turned the tide, the male protagonist of "Richard Jewell's Lament" Richard Jewell is really too ordinary, just a security guard, even a poor image, conservative life, rough behavior, a typical fat house Loser image. The film is about the twists and turns of waste wood becoming a hero, and being framed as a murderer and finally washing away the stigma.
"There's a bomb in Century Park. You have thirty minutes to evacuate. "We see from the final trailer that Richard Jewell became a hero as a security guard who found the bomb device in the bombing of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, when he acted quickly and saved countless lives.
Soon after, however, the situation took a big turn for the worse, with an irresponsible media report falsely accusing him of being the number one suspect in the bombing, followed by public slander and insults, and he was forcibly investigated by the police and the FBI.
Insisting his innocence, he turned to independent lawyer Watson Bryant for help. In the process of exonerating Jewell, Bryant found himself fighting against the overwhelming joint resistance of the FBI, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the police. Finally, after 88 days of hard fighting, Jewell finally washed away the stigma.
The era of online media magnifies the power of public opinion geometrically, netizens spend 30 seconds to pay attention to a report, use 10 seconds to make a judgment on a person, and then forget all this to chase the next hot spot, while the world of the parties is only a mess after being trampled by the public.
I think this is also the deep meaning of the old man's choice to put this event on the big screen, no snowflake is innocent when the avalanche occurs, and each of us has the power to influence another person in the era of public opinion. The power of public opinion can save people, but also can kill people, netizens' messages can help Zhao Yu, who is brave but framed, to wash away the stigma, and can also force a person to depression and suicide.
If this power is not exercised prudently, the tragedy of Jewell will continue to repeat itself, and what is even more frightening is that each of us may become the destroyed Jewell.
The script is written solidly and delicately, and the interpretation of the golden lineup is even more memorable. The male protagonist Paul Walter Hauser plays Jewell, a fat house scruffy, stupid and cute, under the design of the FBI step by step, repeatedly jumping into the pit. His kindness, innocence, and weakness inspired sympathy and protection in the audience, and when it was released in the United States, whenever Jewell fell into the investigator's design, the theater would emit an "oh oh" chagrin. The audience was heartbroken.
Sam Rockwell, who won an Oscar for "Three Billboards", is an actor that the editor has long liked. "The Lamentations of Richard Jewell" Zhongshan Mu plays a lawyer in a suit and leather shoes, handsome back to the peak of his appearance, his acting skills are steady and steady, and he portrays a lawyer who dares to confront the FBI, the police, and the media very credible.
The Oscar-level supporting roles in the crew also have Kathy Bates, an old drama bone who plays Richard's mother, and her cry at the end of the film is infectious, making many people burst into tears in an instant. In 1991, Casey won the Oscar for the role of a crazy fan in "Ten Days in Danger", and this time playing Jouvel's mother will definitely help her win this year's Oscar.
There are famous real historical events as the bottom, the legendary director "Uncle Dongmu" directed, bringing together the Oscar-level golden lineup, this Douban high-scoring word-of-mouth masterpiece, has now been determined the domestic release schedule - January 10, 2020, can not be missed, must be arranged!
