"Is it a revelation from the gods, or is it the reality of human beings? At the end of the film, Sean Connery, who plays the protagonist, left the sentence "a-man". Does this sentence mean "a person" or "a human being"

"Or is it a variant of "Amen"? The talented Miss Catherine Edson showed us the wasteland without hesitation. Such a world, such human beings, is this our future? Or, this is

The ugly true face of our species?" - The New York Times

“This is a revelation from God.”—Christian Truth Monitor

"This is a new chapter in the movie industry. The special effects of Katherine Edson's DreamWorks have put all the film studios in Hollywood under their feet." - "Los Angeles Times"

New York is boiling.

Los Angeles is abuzz.

The whole of North America is boiling.

Fallout was an unexpected success. Even Catherine didn't expect that people would love this film so much.

Compared to the usual moviegoers, who are mostly Caucasians, this time, many black people also went to the cinema.

Because they knew that the title of the film was actually their own song, and that there was a black star in the film.

Even for the Chinese who live in the United States but form a separate small society, this film also attracted their attention.

It's just that compared to white people who pay more attention to the plot, they heard that there was a Chinese actor in it and he was the protagonist.

Just a month ago, President Kennedy was assassinated, and the entire United States fell into a state of confusion. Coupled with the sensational speech in August, it also directly pushed up the box office of "Wasteland"

The key point.

When Catherine received the news, she was actually planning a movie version of "Harry Potter."

From Eastwood's point of view, there is no problem in making movies, but if you want to make special effects like "Wasteland", it is very difficult, because many magics require special effects, and these effects are generally speaking.

It is difficult to show it, unless Catherine really develops a supercomputer capable of post-production.

But recently, that has been impossible.

Catherine is reading books every day now, but they are not books on subject content, but books on filmmaking and special effects.

"Harry Potter" does not require montage techniques or sophisticated music, but it does have high requirements for special effects.

Devil's ivy, giant spider, two-faced man...

The time and energy required to shoot such a movie will most likely exceed "Wasteland".

So, Catherine had an idea: make an animated movie!

Catherine had been thinking about this issue until Wasteland was released.

However, with the release of "Wasteland", Catherine's plan was temporarily interrupted.

The response to "Wasteland" was far better than Catherine expected. Originally, Catherine expected the box office to be around 5,000. This has already doubled. Now that things are going big, the estimated box office may be towards 80 million. In 2010,

This is 500 million!

Throughout the Christmas period, this film occupied the top spot at the box office.

Catherine is about to be rich, but she knows that compared with giant companies such as IBM, her company is still very young.

Those companies worth billions or even tens of billions cannot compare with themselves.

And in the future, there will be companies worth hundreds of billions or more - Microsoft is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Not to mention those military-industrial companies.

The dream that Catherine wants to realize is far more than the 50 million or 80 million. She wants to have a higher goal!

"Wasteland" has been making great progress, and the name of Catherine, a talented young lady, has become even more famous. Although she rarely makes official appearances, when others talk about her, they always talk about this magical "magical girl"

”.

But at this time, something unpleasant happened...

Catherine's movie was very popular, and the sales of "Fallout" books and war games also became booming.

The release time of "Wasteland" in Europe has also been put on the schedule.

Because it is rare for a black person to be one of the protagonists of the film, this movie is very popular among black people.

Moreover, because this movie has some echoes with Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" in August, and because the movie contains more implicit racism, it has also been criticized by anti-racists and black power.

Campaigner support.

But at this time, white supremacist demonstrations unexpectedly broke out in many places!

In the original history, there was an incident in 1964 when the Ku Klux Klan set fire to a black church, beat believers and brutally killed three black people. Many of the perpetrators were acquitted, and those in prison did not serve more than six years.

This incident was also one of the reasons why the conflict broke out later.

The hippie movement became popular, but racists also became increasingly rampant, and the entire United States seemed to have become a deformed society in which two worlds were blended together.

During the unapproved demonstrations that broke out in January, many black churches were smashed, and many people were even beaten for no apparent reason, and even died.

On the surface, this has nothing to do with Catherine's movies, but in fact, her movies have unexpectedly become an intensifier of national conflicts!

After many illegal demonstrations were dispersed, many leaflets and slogans were always found that resisted Catherine's concepts of "racial unity" and "satire on racial discrimination".

The actions of these white supremacists have pushed many neutrals and black sympathizers into the anti-racist camp, and they have also become the target of public criticism.

But this did not improve Catherine's current situation.

Catherine was originally prepared.

But the influence of "Wasteland" far exceeded Catherine's judgment, causing things to get out of control...

Especially the Edsons.

After she and the others got the news, they were simply frightened.

You know, wasn't it because of the Civil Rights Act that Kennedy was assassinated in November?

"Kate, maybe you should hide first..."

Emma said to Catherine with such concern.

"Yes, you know what? Those two groups (racists and anti-racists) are crazy! White people are crazy! Black people are crazy too! Who knows if the Chinese in Chinatown and the Japanese will also go crazy?

Oh, my God, I went to the company today and encountered at least three demonstrations. The police were so busy that they fainted. This was the first time I saw the New York police doing serious things..."

Bruce complained as well.

"But is there anything we can do?"

Catherine didn't know what to do after she stung a hornet's nest.

"Your father and I have discussed it, Kate. We decided to let you go to England first so that you can at least find your aunt. Do you still remember your homework on 'genealogy'? That was with her help..."
