Ib tug txiv neej hu ua Otto tau ua ntsiag to ua nws lub cim ntawm lub thawv ntawv tshaj thawj ob theem ntawm nws qhov kev tso tawm hauv tsev hauv kev ua yeeb yam.

Fueled los ntawm kev tshuaj xyuas zoo thiab cov lus muaj zog ntawm lub qhov ncauj hauv qhov txwv tsis pub tshaj tawm, qhov kev qhuas qhuas tau rub tawm hauv qhov zoo kawg nkaus $ 6,593 ib qhov chaw nruab nrab thaum lub asthiv thib ob ntawm peb-kauj ruam tso tawm. OttoTag nrho cov nyiaj tau los tam sim no sawv ntawm $ 5.8 lab. Nws tau khwv tau ntau dua $ 8.4 lab thoob ntiaj teb. Tam sim no, nyob rau theem kawg, kev hloov pauv mus thoob plaws hauv tebchaws.

Tom Hanks, Hollywood tus Mr. Nice Guy, ua si Otto, ib tug poj ntsuam curmudgeon uas nws lub neej yog tig los ntawm ib tug hluas tsev neeg uas tsiv mus rau hauv nws cul-de-sac. Nws yog remake ntawm 2015 Swedish movie, Ib tug txiv neej hu ua Ove, raws li lub npe zoo sib xws 2012 tshiab.

Ib tug txiv neej hu ua Otto yog qhia los ntawm Marc Forster. Kuv tau ntsib nws los tham txog zaj yeeb yaj kiab, tau txais Hanks los ua kom nws cov leeg zoo nkauj dua thiab nrhiav qhov chaw zoo tshaj plaws hauv Google Earth.

Simon Thompson: XNUMX Lab tus kiv cua tos koj rau Webtalk! Tom Hanks thiab Rita Wilson pom tus thawj thiab nyeem phau ntawv, yog li lawv tuaj rau qhov no paub txog cov khoom. Koj tau noj ntau npaum li cas?

Marc Forster: Kuv nyeem phau ntawv pib thiab hlub nws tiag tiag. Qhov ntawd ua rau kuv quaj thiab luag. Kuv pom cov yeeb yaj kiab thawj, thiab nws muaj qhov cuam tshuam zoo ib yam thiab hais rau kuv tus kheej tias zaj yeeb yaj kiab yuav tsum tau hais rau ntawm lub platform ntau dua, thoob ntiaj teb. Qhov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm Otto yog tias nws muaj qhov yuav luag Shakespearean daim duab koj tuaj yeem ua tau hauv txhua lub tebchaws thiab cov lus, thiab zaj dab neeg muaj qhov zoo sib xws. Nws yuav ua hauj lwm txhua qhov chaw vim hais tias, raws li cliched raws li nws suab, txhua leej txhua tus paub ib tug Otto thiab muaj ib tug nyob rau hauv lawv lub neej.

Thompson: American versions ntawm European lossis txawv teb chaws cov yeeb yaj kiab thiab cov ntawv tsis yog ib txwm ua tiav. Feem ntau muaj qee yam hauv DNA uas ploj hauv kev txhais lus. Thaum koj los rau hauv qhov no, koj pom dab tsi uas muaj peev xwm pitfalls thiab hurdles ntawm qhov kev hwm?

Forster: (Laughs) Qhov no muaj tseeb. Nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb heev rau kuv los ua tib zoo mloog cov phau ntawv cov khoom siv. Nws ua tau zoo heev thiab muaj ntau tus kiv cua uas nws yog qhov tseem ceeb los xyuas kom meej tias peb ntes tau qhov ntawd. Cov ntawv no kuj siv qee qhov kev tshoov siab los ntawm Swedish movie tab sis Americanizing nws yog qhov tseeb heev hauv zaj dab neeg no. Ib zaj yeeb yaj kiab qhia txog lub neej ntawm ib lub zej zog los ua ke zoo li paub txog txhua yam kab lis kev cai vim tias peb yog neeg zej zog. Kev hloov kho tau yooj yim me ntsis rau kuv thaum pib vim tias cov tshuaj muaj kev sib raug zoo hauv Tebchaws Europe, thiab hauv Asmeskas, qhov sib txawv. Qhov ntawd yog qhov chaw vaj tsev nyob ntawm zaj dab neeg tuaj, thiab peb yuav tsum xyuas kom meej tias nws tau xa xov kom raug. Tag nrho cov cim dhia tawm ntawm nplooj ntawv organically.

Thompson: Nws tshwm sim rau kuv tias tag nrho lub ntiaj teb no tau ntsib Swedish zaj dab neeg nrog subtitles ntawm lub vijtsam loj, tab sis tam sim no nws yog lub sij hawm rau Sweden kom tau txais ib qho version ntawm zaj dab neeg no nrog cov subtitles. Qhov ntawd yog ib qho kev paub tshwj xeeb raws li tus kws ua yeeb yaj kiab.

Forster: (Laughs) Yog, nws yog. Uas funny. Kuv tseem tsis tau xav txog qhov ntawd. Kuv nyiam lub tswv yim ntawd, ho. Qee lub sij hawm koj pom cov yeeb yaj kiab dubbed, tab sis qhov ntawd yog funny, yog.

Thompson: Tom Hanks rov qab los rau nws cov keeb kwm kev ua yeeb yam nrog qhov no tab sis nws yog qhov tsaus thiab qhuav heev. Koj ua haujlwm nrog Tom li cas thiaj nrhiav tau qhov sib npaug? Nws yooj yim npaum li cas rau nws los kho nws cov leeg comedy rau lub suab nrov no?

Forster: Tom Hanks yog tus ua yeeb yam zoo tshaj plaws uas kuv tau ua haujlwm nrog. Nws yog ib tus neeg ua yeeb yam zoo tshaj plaws nyob niaj hnub no. Tom ua ntau comedy nyob rau hauv lub 80s nrog Txaws thiab loj thiab tag nrho cov yeeb yaj kiab thiab tom qab ntawd dhau los ua ib tus neeg ua yeeb yam loj heev. Nws zaum kawg ua comedy, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog lub cev comedy, ntev dhau los, thiab qhov no yog kev sib xyaw ua ke ntawm nws qhov kev ua yeeb yam thiab kev ua yeeb yam. Ua ke lawv tsuas yog ib qho kev zoo siab. Txhua leej txhua tus hais tias Nws yog ib tug txiv neej zoo nyob rau hauv Hollywood, thiab nws tiag tiag. Nws los teem rau sawv ntxov, nws zaum muaj nyob rau hauv ib tug meditational lub xeev, thiab ces koj pib tua. Kuv nyiam tshawb nrhiav tej yam, thiab nws yeej ib txwm qhib thiab npaj kom muaj kev lom zem nyob rau hauv ib txoj kev tsom heev. Nws zoo li ua haujlwm nrog tus kws ntaus nkauj ua yeeb yam zoo uas koj mloog lawv cov ntawv, thiab tom qab ntawd kuv hais tias, 'Au, peb tuaj yeem ua si lub concerto me ntsis upbeat lossis downbeat.' Nws zoo nkauj rau kev paub, thiab nws tsis tau zoo dua li qhov ntawd.

Thompson: Cov lus muaj tswv yim uas koj thiab Tom tau qhia yog dab tsi uas coj los ua ke rau koj?

Forster: Peb muaj cov txheej txheem zoo sib xws no. Kuv nyiam txhua yam kom muaj tseeb thiab tsis txaus ntseeg thiab tsis yog slapsticky, tab sis qhov no, vim peb mus rau qhov tsaus ntuj, peb tuaj yeem mus me ntsis ntawm txoj kev slapstick ib yam nkaus. Feem ntau nws yog nws Massaging movie. Koj muaj qhov kev ua si ntawm qhov tsaus ntuj thiab lub teeb, thiab tom qab ntawd koj muaj tib yam ntawm tam sim no thiab flashbacks. Peb yuav tsum tau weave flashbacks rau niaj hnub nim no kom nws tsis txhob cuam tshuam, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog thaum peb siv Truman Hanks, Tom tus tub, ua si ib tug hluas version ntawm Otto. Yog vim li cas peb siv nws, ib tug neeg uas tsis yog ib tug neeg ua yeeb yam, yog kom paub tseeb tias nws zoo nkaus li embedded thiab koj tsis raug tshem tawm ntawm cov yeeb yam.

Thompson: Koj hais Truman tsis yog ib tug neeg ua yeeb yam. Nws yooj yim dua nyob rau sab nraud ntawm lub koob yees duab, yog li dab tsi yog qhov kev sib tham uas koj tau nrog nws kom yaum nws mus rau pem hauv ntej ntawm nws?

Forster: Yog lawm, nws niam nws txiv xav tias nws yuav tsis xav ua, tab sis kuv hais tias, 'Vim li cas koj tsis nrog nws zaum thiab tham nrog nws?' Wb sib tham tau zoo lawm, nws zoo siab heev thiab ces hais tias yog. Rau kuv, nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb uas yuav tsum ua kom nws sov thiab txais tos. Rachel Keller, uas ua si Sonya tawm tsam nws, so nws thiab hais tias, 'Koj tuaj yeem ua koj tus kheej ntawm lub koob yees duab. Tsis muaj dab tsi yuav txhawj txog. Nws tsuas yog tuaj yeem ua tau.'

Thompson: Tom ua si Mr. Rogers ob peb xyoos dhau los, yog ib tus neeg xav pab txhua tus. Tam sim no nws tab tom ua si Otto, uas thawj zaug tsis xav pab leej twg. Nws xav nyob ib leeg thiab rau tib neeg ua raws li lawv tau hais. Koj puas tau tham txog tias cov cim no yog yin rau ib leeg tus yang?

Forster: (Luag) Peb tsis tau, tab sis qhov ntawd yog qhov kev soj ntsuam zoo. Kuv tsis tau xav txog qhov ntawd ua ntej. Qhov kev lom zem yog tias muaj qee lub sijhawm thaum kuv hais tias, 'Tom, koj ua si zoo nkauj me ntsis. Peb yuav tsum yws nws me ntsis.' Otto kuj muaj lub suab, nrov nrov, thaum nws tsis pom zoo rau ib yam dab tsi, thiab Tom tuaj nrog qhov ntawd. Kuv poob rau hauv kev hlub nrog nws thiab khiav nrog nws. Hauv ADR, kuv tau hais tias, 'Saib, peb xav tau qee qhov ntawm cov suab nrov ntxiv.' nws tsis tas yuav hais tias nws xav tias txhua tus yog neeg ruam; nws ua lub suab no. Kuv xav tias vim tias Tom yog txhua tus neeg nyiam thiab tuaj yeem ua siab ntev, nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb rau kuv kom ntseeg tau tias nws npau taws txaus.

Thompson: Ntau npaum li cas ntawm qhov no tau ua yeeb yaj kiab ntawm qhov chaw tiv thaiv raug tsim ntawm soundstages? Nws nyuaj npaum li cas los nrhiav txoj kev zoo tshaj plaws? Vim tias nws ua haujlwm hauv flashbacks zoo li nws ua haujlwm nyob rau niaj hnub no.

Forster: Peb ua yeeb yaj kiab hauv Pittsburgh. Peb tus thawj tswj hwm qhov chaw tau qhia peb ob peb qhov chaw, thiab tom qab ntawd Barbara Ling, peb tus tsim tsim khoom, hais rau kuv, 'Kuv tsis xav tias cov chaw no ua haujlwm,' thiab kuv pom zoo nrog nws. Qhov chaw yog lwm tus cwj pwm ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab, yog li nws pib saib Google Earth, tshawb xyuas qhov chaw cul de sacs, thiab pom qhov no. Hnub tom qab, tsuas yog los ntawm huab cua, nws pom txoj kev no, yog li peb mus rau ntawd, thiab nws zoo tag nrho. Peb tuaj yeem muab lub rooj vag thaum kawg kaw nws thiab pleev xim rau txoj kev, thiab tus neeg uas tau yuav txoj kev ntawd peb lub hlis ua ntej, nws tus poj niam nyiam ua yeeb yam, yog Tom Hanks, yog li ntawd pab kev sib tham. Peb tua feem ntau ntawm nws nyob ntawd, tab sis qee qhov sab hauv tau ua rau theem.

Thompson: Puas muaj leej twg nyob ntawm txoj kev ntawd? Lawv xav li cas txog cov yeeb yaj kiab Hollywood tsaws hauv lawv thaj chaw nyob ntsiag to?

Forster: Lawv nyiam nws vim yog Tom tseem tham nrog txhua tus. Nws zoo li ntxim hlub thiab hwm heev uas lawv tsis mloog txhua. Lawv yeej nyiam peb nyob ntawd.

Thompson: Kuv nyiam qhov evolution ntawm Otto, qhov chaw uas nws loj hlob sov-hearted. Cov pace ntawm qhov ntawd tseem ceeb heev hauv zaj yeeb yaj kiab no. Yuav ua li cas koj stagger tias los ntawm kev ua tau zoo, los yog nws yog ib yam dab tsi koj pom nyob rau hauv ncej los ntawm lub sij hawm?

Forster: Kuv xav tias peb tau txais nws tiag tiag hauv kev hloov kho. Peb massaged nws thiab rov qab mus rau pem hauv ntej kom tau lub suab zoo. Nrog rau tus cwj pwm no, nrog rau tag nrho cov flashbacks, comedy, thiab ua yeeb yam, tau txais lub suab zoo hauv zaj yeeb yaj kiab no yooj yim heev, tab sis nws zoo li thaum koj saib Roger Federer ntaus pob tesniv, thiab nws yeej Wimbledon. Qhov ntawd zoo li yooj yim, tab sis nws yuav siv sij hawm ntau heev.

Thompson: Koj tau hais tias Tom yog ib tus neeg nyiam koj tau ua haujlwm nrog. Raws li kev ua haujlwm, thiab koj qhov oeuvre yog qhov dav heev, qhov twg qhov no haum rau koj raws li qhov koj txaus siab tshaj plaws los yog muab rau koj tshaj plaws ua tus tsim ua yeeb yaj kiab?

Forster: Kuv nyiam tias kuv tau coj kuv cov txuj ci los ua ib tus neeg ua yeeb yaj kiab ntawm no, los ntawm kev ua yeeb yam thiab kev ua yeeb yam. Kuv nyiam ua movies zoo li Xov Xwm Sib Tham Hluas Nkauj Raug Dab thiab Kite Runner; peb muab kev lom zem thiab ua yeeb yam ntawm no. Nws yog kuv tus kheej tiag tiag, thiab yog vim li cas kuv thiaj li nyiam ua cov yeeb yaj kiab no heev.

Thompson: Tham txog koj lwm txoj haujlwm, Quantum ntawm Solace tau txais kev txaus siab thiab kev hwm ntau dua nyob rau ob peb xyoos dhau los raws li tib neeg tau rov tuaj xyuas nws. Nws siv sijhawm ntev dua li nws yuav tsum muaj, tab sis qhov ntawd xav li cas?

Forster: Rau kuv, zaj yeeb yaj kiab ntawd ib txwm tshwj xeeb heev. Nws nyuaj ua raws li twv txiaj yuam pov Royale vim nws yog raws li Ian Fleming phau ntawv zoo tshaj plaws thiab muaj cov ntawv zoo heev. Nws yog kev lom zem. Thaum kawg, Bond tau txais kev xav thiab tau mus rau hauv qhov kev sib tw ncaj nraim, pib ntawm Lake Garda rau hauv Quantum ntawm Solace tsis muaj phau ntawv, thiab nws yog tiag tiag txog kev kua zaub ntsuab. Nws zoo li 70s ua yeeb yaj kiab, nrog nrawm nrawm, thiab kuv muaj lub tswv yim no txog dej vim kuv xav tias yuav muaj teeb meem yav tom ntej. Kuv xav tias nws yuav yog ib qho zoo heev uas muaj ib tug neeg phem uas ua txuj ntsuab tab sis tsis yog. Saib rov qab rau nws, koj paub, muaj qee yam uas kuv yuav tau hloov pauv thiab qee yam kuv yuav tau ntxiv storywise, tab sis tag nrho, kuv tseem zoo nkauj txaus siab rau cov yeeb yaj kiab.

Thompson: Puas yog koj thiab Tom tham txog kev ua haujlwm ua ke dua? Koj pom tseeb nyem rau ntawm Otto.

Forster: Kuv nyiam qhov ntawd, thiab kuv ntseeg tias nws yuav zoo li ntawd, tab sis peb tseem tsis tau hais txog nws. Kuv yuav nyiam qhov ntawd.
