He turns hills into sailboats, whittles sticks into swords, paints kites into fairies, and dresses up four little boys as the Lost Boys of Neverland. Through his encounters with these innocent children, James Barrie opened the door to his imagination and created a classic fairy tale that would become a household name, Peter Pan. Initially, Barrie's troupe is very skeptical about the appeal of this children's play, and even his ever-supportive producer Charles (Dustin Hoffman) is worried. But with Barrie's persistent efforts, Peter Pan eventually struck a chord with countless children and adults alike with its innocent childlike fun and rich imagination.

Behind the Scenes:This movie is in close collaboration with the previous film of Jean-Jacques Annaud. Jacques Arnaud's previous film "The Bear" has a similar pattern, simulating the ethical relationship between human beings with the emotional relationship between animals, and discovering a certain loss of spiritual emotion in human beings from the animal world. Such a movie will always get excellent box office and word of mouth. Whether it is the Scandinavian scenery in "The Bear" or the Cambodian flavor in "Tiger Brother, Tiger Brother", they all fully demonstrate an exotic atmosphere. Arnold said, "Tiger Brothers and Tigers contains three of my greatest obsessions: the world of wild animals, mystical religions, and the beautiful landscapes of the Asian continent." It's a full-on postcard appreciation. Replace the movie's plot with a human being, and it proves to us the perpetual fascination of such scenic displays. And Cambodian Ministry of Culture officials have called the film the most important in the history of foreign filmmaking in Cambodia.

One day, Mr. Willy Wonka makes an announcement that he will open the chocolate factory to five lucky children who are full of "mystery and magic". In addition to getting a tour of the factory, they would get enough chocolate candies and other sweets to last a lifetime. Children all over the world who buy Wonka brand chocolates will have the chance to win a golden ticket hidden in the wrapper. However, Mr. Wonka only had five golden coupons ready in one ****, so little Charlie's chances were slim to none. All over the world there was an instant craze to buy Wonka brand chocolates, one lucky winner after another appeared, and the media was all over the news about the children who had found the golden coupons. First up was Augustus who liked to overeat, a fat boy who didn't think much but liked to stuff his mouth with sweets every day. Next was Veruca Salter, a little girl who was spoiled by her family and would play hard to get, kicking and arguing if her father didn't buy her what she wanted.

Flying chocolate waterfalls, tap boats sailing rivers of brown chocolate syrup, lush gumball meadows, and hills full of milk candy. The chocolate factory is staffed by dwarves from the barbaric jungle of chocolate-loving Dwarfland. The four other children lose control of themselves as they fall into the chocolate river, become candy, are sent to the scrap heap, and become signal particles in the TV. For all this, little Charlie was unmoved. The most incredible thing happened at the end ...... Behind the scenes production: this work was once made into a movie in 1971, and the name of the film is slightly different from this one - "Willy Wanda and the Chocolate Factory". The older movie was made more like an adult movie than a children's movie, and as such, it's a much darker story than the original. The author of the original, Roald Dahl, was quite vocal about this, believing that it deviated from the original's intent and themes, and that it was completely hanging on by a thread. This time Tim Burton re-shooting of the film is basically faithful to the original theme and style, completely from the perspective of children to tell this wonderful chocolate factory trip. Tim Burton, known as the "ghost director", is a perfect match for this movie! Tim Burton's quirky and unconventional ideas have always given fantasy movies an original feel. He has a knack for visual effects and soundtracks, and has developed a very distinctive "Tim Burton style". In terms of the use of color, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory can be said to be an explosion of color - a variety of bright, delicate candy colors are all played to the extreme by Tim Burton in the film, the visual impact is extraordinary.

During his stay in France, Max meets Fanny (Marion Cotillard), a waitress at a local cafe. It turns out that Fanny was Max's childhood playmate when he came to France to visit his uncle on vacation. During his time with Fanny, Max remembers many memories of his childhood with his uncle Henri (Albert Finney), and develops a crush on Fanny for bringing back these precious memories. As the two of them go back and forth, they can't help but fall in love. This is the reason why Max is interested in keeping the vineyard and living there. Coincidentally, at this time of rebirth, a mysterious American woman, claiming to be the rightful heir to the estate, enters Max's life: Christie (Abbie Cornish), the illegitimate daughter of Max's Uncle Henry, who hails from California. Christie had come to France in search of her biological father, Henry, and as illegitimate children also have inheritance rights, the ownership of the estate was difficult to determine for a while. So Max takes this as a logical reason to stay at the manor and enjoy a rare year of good times.

After the two of them ****ed off for a night that was so romantic that it made them fall in love, her father insisted and even forced her to continue with the concert despite Lila's constant protests, causing her to be unable to fulfill her promise of going to see Luis. Misunderstandings can easily arise when people in love care too much about each other.

Laila, too, lost the love of her life, and a few months later, a car accident claimed her unborn baby. More than 10 years have passed since then, and Laila and Luis, who don't know the truth, have been living in their own remorse and sadness, not realizing that Laila's baby wasn't actually born, but was secretly given away by her father. Now that the little boy named August Rush has 11 years old, not only brave and lively, but also has an extraordinary talent - any sound that happens around him, to his ears, all become beautiful melodies, as long as he stood in the wheat field, and even the breeze swept through the wheat rustle into a grand symphony, it is clear that August is a natural composer and conductor. Though raised as an orphan, August is convinced that his parents are still alive and that, as he desperately hopes for them, they need him. Determined to find his parents, August leaves the orphanage and travels to New York City alone, only to become lost on the streets of the city. Attracted by a child playing on the street, August follows him to the abandoned Fillmore East Theater, where he discovers that there are many other homeless children like him in this temporary shelter, protected by a mysterious man known as "The Wizard". That night, August picks up a guitar for the first time, and immediately improvises a song for the group. A young boy with no musical training can release such a passionate melody, which surprised the "sorcerer", so he designed a series of performance plans for August ...... August did not feel that August didn't think there was anything wrong with what the "wizard" was doing, because he believed that his parents lived somewhere in the city, and if they heard his music, they would surely find him. At that time, August didn't know that the "search" he had been waiting for had already begun. Laila's father finally told her the truth, it turns out that the baby she thought had died is still alive ...... Laila went crazy to find the social worker Richard Jeffries, hoping that he could help him find his son, who had been lost for 11 years. Louis, who has traveled far away from home and still can't get over his love for Laila, also returns to the place where they first met. Laila, Louis and August, although they are forced to separate because of the helplessness and deception of life, the connection between them through love and music has never been broken, and they will eventually find each other, because only in this way can their lives be complete. Behind the scenes about the children of a "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", so that in the "Finding Neverland" in the unassuming Freddie Highmore quickly became one of the hottest child stars, and then respectively in the "A Good Year" and "Arthur and his mini-kingdom" have had a very good performance, but even Highmore himself said, from television to the film, he has never been through the "change" like this "August Fever", "change" so much, "change" so much, "change" so much. "However, even Hemmer himself says that he has never had a role that changed him as much as the one in August. The biggest challenge that Freddie Highamer faced when interpreting the role of August Rush was how to grasp the essence of the music at such a young age, especially as a city boy born and raised in London, England, and how to relate to the state of mind of an orphaned boy like August who lives in rural America. Hemmer said, "This movie was really the biggest test for me so far that I've encountered, especially since it required me, a standard British kid, to try to do all the dialog in American English, while also playing the guitar in a lot of the scenes, including, of course, conducting the orchestra ...... maybe, making a show of playing the guitar with just my hands. guitar and then do the post-dubbing production would have been a bit easier, and it wouldn't have made any difference to see, but I really wanted to be able to actually manipulate it, because I felt that how can I convey emotion to an audience through images when even I don't know what I'm doing?" Having Freddie Highmore, who speaks a standard London accent and is only 15 years old, star in a movie entirely in an American accent does sound a little bit unbelievable, but Highmore says that the process of learning the language was actually quite fun: "Before they officially started filming, they hired a pronunciation teacher for me, and from that point on I pushed myself to pronounce every single sentence in an American voice, whether it was American or not. From then on, I forced myself to pronounce every word in the American voice, whether it was during a movie or not, and during that time I wouldn't even go home, pretending that I was an orphan and had no home. This approach produced very practical results. When learning becomes an environment and eventually a habit, plus the fact that we shot the movie on location in New York, surrounded by Americans, it was the perfect refresher." Freddie Highmore is the smallest main actor in the film, yet he had the most to learn. In addition to correcting his accent, he had to practice his guitar diligently, and although Highmore imagined everything as a pleasure, it was inevitably hard work, saying, "The music side of it was a little more tricky, it didn't come out of the blue, and I pre-trained in a special six-month course of guitar lessons, which, of course, was mostly focused on Of course, the main focus was on the tunes that I'll be playing in the movie. Now if I may sell a little bit of a spoiler, I just want to say that I really achieved something noteworthy, and the guitar-related scenes were all done by me personally." If you watch the movie closely, you'll notice that August, who doesn't know how to play an instrument but is called by the music, "invented" a strumming style of playing the guitar the first time he picks it up, which Freddie Highmore says: "First of all, I'd like to say that I didn't invent this method. First of all, I'd like to say that I didn't create this method, but I learned it from a guitarist named Michael Hedges, who was very good at it. August in the movie is a musical genius, but he doesn't know what E major or G major means, so he has to get those sounds out in ways that no one else can imagine - the use of 'strumming' here, I think, is very appropriate." On ParenthoodAs a pair of musicians who fell in love at first sight, Laila Novacek and Louise Connelly were forced apart by the world and left heartbroken. And a gifted musical teenager they ****together harbor becomes the only link that allows them to find each other again. So do Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Keri Russell, who play August's parents, also believe in the fairytale-like "love at first sight"? Meyers has always been positive: "I do, because I had a similar experience. Of course, that was many years ago, and I don't have much contact with that girl now. In my opinion, the feeling was not like being struck by lightning, as described in the book, but more like a sick chest tightness. I think Louis and Laila in the movie resolved into love because they felt similar frustration and pessimism for each other. They look at each other as if they see their own reflections in the water: one is from the upper class, while the other is located in the lowest slum." Russell's addition is filled with a sense of fatalism: "I think everything is fate, when you have a child with someone, it's fate; when you hate or love someone, it's fate, so you're destined to be bound to that person for the rest of your life." Since the movie contains a lot of magic, it makes it hard to avoid worrying whether modern audiences in 2007 will be able to accept it all, Keri Russell said, "I actually like this type of movie very much myself, and I especially enjoy the feeling of imagining that there's something special around us that guides us and protects us. Of course, I was worried, but after the preview screening, so many adult male audience members came up to me and said, 'I've never seen a movie with so much emotion.' All that worry didn't seem to matter at that moment." Perhaps because Keri Russell is already a mother, she was especially able to understand the mysterious connection in the movie that exists only between a mother and her child: "It's the last thing that can be denied, and anyone who has been a mother can relate to it. I once went to see Finding Nemo with my husband, and I couldn't help but cry when I saw that Nemo couldn't find his father. ...... I know that some people may think I'm a bit crazy for saying this, but I just couldn't help myself because I was a mother at that time, so I can especially understand the pain of being separated from your child. Although taking care of children is a very hard job and I hardly even have time to sleep, watching them start to smile at you or start to recognize you is the most wonderful moment."
