We've hander col Kiman do it, and 26 00:01:23,413 --> 00:01:25,573 Speaker 3: Hathaway's done it.

I've set you up on tender What. 33 00:01:50,893 --> 00:01:53,773 Speaker 3: Okay? That's Bridget Jones Mad about the Boy? Tell us 34 00:01:53,773 --> 00:01:54,533 Speaker 3: about a Francisca. 35 00:01:55,013 --> 00:01:58,413 Speaker 2: So as you'vele this is the fourth film and apparently 36 00:01:58,413 --> 00:02:00,373 Speaker 2: the final film in this series that began back in 37 00:02:00,413 --> 00:02:01,693 Speaker 2: two thousand and one. 38 00:02:01,973 --> 00:02:04,573 Speaker 3: They always say that, they always say that, they always 39 00:02:04,573 --> 00:02:05,493 Speaker 3: say that rom can't. 40 00:02:05,533 --> 00:02:09,533 Speaker 2: Based on the books by and Fielding and the Bridget films, Jack, 41 00:02:09,533 --> 00:02:11,173 Speaker 2: I've always been about a woman who's trying to find 42 00:02:11,213 --> 00:02:14,213 Speaker 2: her dream job or dreamman, work on herself and her 43 00:02:14,213 --> 00:02:16,653 Speaker 2: self esteem and things, and over the years there's been 44 00:02:16,653 --> 00:02:20,413 Speaker 2: a lot of hilarity we have shared with Bridget and look, 45 00:02:20,453 --> 00:02:22,333 Speaker 2: I would recommend going back and watching the first film, 46 00:02:22,373 --> 00:02:24,493 Speaker 2: when she slides down a fire station poll onto a 47 00:02:24,533 --> 00:02:28,293 Speaker 2: TV camera, it was a laugh out loud, absolutely hilarious moment, 48 00:02:28,333 --> 00:02:31,333 Speaker 2: and I think that's what we love about Bridget. This film, though, 49 00:02:31,773 --> 00:02:33,453 Speaker 2: takes a little bit of a turn. It is a 50 00:02:33,533 --> 00:02:38,093 Speaker 2: rom com, but it is also about grief. I found 51 00:02:38,093 --> 00:02:41,973 Speaker 2: it a little bit old fashioned in its approach, in 52 00:02:42,013 --> 00:02:45,373 Speaker 2: this sense that some of the lines were a bit nafs, 53 00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:47,773 Speaker 2: some of the jokes a bit cringey. I think if 54 00:02:47,813 --> 00:02:51,013 Speaker 2: you love Bridget, you'll find it quite sort of familiar 55 00:02:51,133 --> 00:02:53,893 Speaker 2: and comforting. I didn't really feel like we were stepping 56 00:02:53,933 --> 00:02:57,093 Speaker 2: into a twenty twenty five Bridget, but there is this shift. 57 00:02:57,133 --> 00:03:00,533 Speaker 2: There is a shift talking about grief. So there's everything 58 00:03:00,573 --> 00:03:03,813 Speaker 2: you'd expect from a rom com. There's the comical meat cutes, 59 00:03:03,893 --> 00:03:08,493 Speaker 2: there's crazy supportive friends, there's misunders standings, jokes about internet dating, 60 00:03:09,373 --> 00:03:12,973 Speaker 2: you know, lovely scene set with falling snow and grand 61 00:03:13,013 --> 00:03:15,813 Speaker 2: gestures and embarrassing situations. So everything you expect from a 62 00:03:15,853 --> 00:03:19,493 Speaker 2: rom coms there, but they sort of take a bit 63 00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:22,813 Speaker 2: of a turn here. And it's kind of appropriate because 64 00:03:22,853 --> 00:03:25,533 Speaker 2: Bridget is in her middle age. She's middle aged, she's 65 00:03:25,533 --> 00:03:30,013 Speaker 2: got a couple of kids, and Colin Firth, who plays 66 00:03:30,173 --> 00:03:33,133 Speaker 2: Mark Darcy, has passed away and this has caused a 67 00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:34,893 Speaker 2: little bit of drama for a lot of people because 68 00:03:34,893 --> 00:03:38,253 Speaker 2: he's a much loved character. So it's really about her 69 00:03:38,373 --> 00:03:40,853 Speaker 2: four years later, coping with his death and moving on 70 00:03:40,933 --> 00:03:42,613 Speaker 2: with life. And her friends are like, come on, Bridget, 71 00:03:42,613 --> 00:03:43,773 Speaker 2: you've got to get out and get on with this. 72 00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:48,333 Speaker 2: It does actually look I actually kind of welled up 73 00:03:49,213 --> 00:03:52,453 Speaker 2: in this film. It does have an emotional kind of 74 00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:55,653 Speaker 2: kick to it. It is quite moving. But I wasn't 75 00:03:55,733 --> 00:03:58,293 Speaker 2: laughing like I used to at a Bridget Jones film, 76 00:03:58,373 --> 00:04:00,333 Speaker 2: although I did take my brother and he laughed quite 77 00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:02,613 Speaker 2: a lot. So it's not necessarily a girl's night out. 78 00:04:02,653 --> 00:04:04,733 Speaker 2: You could probably go and watch this, But what I'm 79 00:04:04,733 --> 00:04:06,853 Speaker 2: trying to say is it didn't have the HILARI it 80 00:04:06,893 --> 00:04:09,213 Speaker 2: didn't make me laugh quite as much. I just thought 81 00:04:09,253 --> 00:04:11,413 Speaker 2: it was a part of it, just a little bit leaf. 82 00:04:11,893 --> 00:04:14,173 Speaker 2: But it does have this kind of new angle, this 83 00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:17,333 Speaker 2: really moving part. But I tell you, Hugh Grant and 84 00:04:17,373 --> 00:04:19,853 Speaker 2: Emma Thompson save the day. They both starre in this, 85 00:04:20,053 --> 00:04:22,773 Speaker 2: and they're in look briefly, but they are absolutely brilliant 86 00:04:22,813 --> 00:04:24,413 Speaker 2: and they did bring a smile to my face and 87 00:04:24,413 --> 00:04:26,693 Speaker 2: I had a giggle, so they kind of saved the day. 88 00:04:26,853 --> 00:04:29,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so that's some Bridget Jones made about the boy. 89 00:04:29,773 --> 00:04:31,853 Speaker 3: What what do you think about this theme at the moment, 90 00:04:32,093 --> 00:04:34,213 Speaker 3: we're not overstating it, right, there seems to be a 91 00:04:34,253 --> 00:04:38,173 Speaker 3: bit of a at the moment women with the younger men. 92 00:04:38,853 --> 00:04:41,773 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, to be honest with there's not a huge 93 00:04:41,813 --> 00:04:45,053 Speaker 2: amount of films based three happen. Yeah, I know. And 94 00:04:45,093 --> 00:04:47,053 Speaker 2: also Emma Thompson, how I just mentioned a couple of 95 00:04:47,093 --> 00:04:48,853 Speaker 2: years ago, was in another great film called Good Luck 96 00:04:48,893 --> 00:04:52,413 Speaker 2: to Juleo grand You're true, is true, but I tend 97 00:04:52,493 --> 00:04:55,493 Speaker 2: to think, you know, you know, women do date younger 98 00:04:55,533 --> 00:04:59,053 Speaker 2: men and it's absolutely fine, but. 99 00:04:58,973 --> 00:05:00,933 Speaker 3: It just seems like there's a it's a it's a 100 00:05:01,133 --> 00:05:06,293 Speaker 3: sort of familiar narrative art at the moment, maybe it's a. 101 00:05:06,373 --> 00:05:08,013 Speaker 2: Little bit of a thing, but you know, maybe that's 102 00:05:08,013 --> 00:05:09,933 Speaker 2: just coming off the back of finally we're sort of 103 00:05:09,973 --> 00:05:14,853 Speaker 2: accepting that, you know, middle age actors and actresses and 104 00:05:14,973 --> 00:05:18,653 Speaker 2: lives can be just as interesting and complex and fascinating 105 00:05:18,813 --> 00:05:21,973 Speaker 2: as you know, a couple of young twenty year olds. 106 00:05:21,973 --> 00:05:25,013 Speaker 3: For yeah, true that yeah, yeah, no, very good. Okay, 107 00:05:25,053 --> 00:05:27,093 Speaker 3: So let's bridget jones Man about the boy's showing in 108 00:05:27,093 --> 00:05:30,573 Speaker 3: cinemas at the moment, also showing in cinemas something completely different. 109 00:05:31,133 --> 00:05:33,173 Speaker 3: Let's have a listened to September fifth. 110 00:05:33,373 --> 00:05:36,293 Speaker 2: Ready, camera got good morning. 111 00:05:36,293 --> 00:05:38,853 Speaker 1: I'm Jim McKay speaking to you live from the Olympics 112 00:05:38,853 --> 00:05:40,093 Speaker 1: in Unich, West Germany. 113 00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:42,613 Speaker 2: So you want to bring in the palotics? How about politics? 114 00:05:42,613 --> 00:05:50,973 Speaker 2: It's by a mush Do you hear where I was going? Shots? 115 00:05:53,693 --> 00:05:56,533 Speaker 3: That is, of course the nineteen seventy two Munich Olympics, 116 00:05:57,093 --> 00:06:01,773 Speaker 3: synonymous with the hostage crisis involving the Israeli athletes. Tell 117 00:06:01,853 --> 00:06:02,853 Speaker 3: us about September five. 118 00:06:03,533 --> 00:06:06,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is a really tense, well written and 119 00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:10,493 Speaker 2: sharp smart film. It's received in OSCAR nomination for Best 120 00:06:10,493 --> 00:06:13,933 Speaker 2: Original Screenplay. In our Cinemas at the moment. Look, this 121 00:06:13,973 --> 00:06:18,013 Speaker 2: has been captured before on Film Munich, Steven Spielberg's film 122 00:06:18,173 --> 00:06:21,173 Speaker 2: and One Day in September, both, you know, both very 123 00:06:21,173 --> 00:06:23,933 Speaker 2: good films. This thim is retold from the perspective of 124 00:06:23,973 --> 00:06:28,093 Speaker 2: the ABC's sports crew who are in Munich to broadcast 125 00:06:28,133 --> 00:06:34,853 Speaker 2: the Olympics, who find themselves witnessing this terrible attack and 126 00:06:35,333 --> 00:06:38,293 Speaker 2: broadcasting it live. And the film doesn't take it's not 127 00:06:38,373 --> 00:06:41,413 Speaker 2: political statement. Actually, it's more a statement on the voyeuristic 128 00:06:41,533 --> 00:06:45,253 Speaker 2: nature of TV journalism and the difficulty of the ethics 129 00:06:45,293 --> 00:06:47,573 Speaker 2: involved in getting it right. So we're in a world 130 00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:50,853 Speaker 2: where there's no cell phones, using landlines and walkie talkies 131 00:06:50,893 --> 00:06:53,973 Speaker 2: we're using you know, you're shooting on film which needs 132 00:06:54,013 --> 00:06:57,293 Speaker 2: to be developed. It's a very manual process putting this 133 00:06:57,373 --> 00:07:00,253 Speaker 2: to air live, so you had the challenges of getting 134 00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:03,293 Speaker 2: the right information out there and not putting out unchecked statements. 135 00:07:04,373 --> 00:07:06,373 Speaker 2: You know. They realize that this is the first time 136 00:07:06,493 --> 00:07:08,533 Speaker 2: something like this has happened and they are being able 137 00:07:08,573 --> 00:07:11,493 Speaker 2: to broadcast it live. But then they realize the terrorists 138 00:07:11,533 --> 00:07:14,573 Speaker 2: can also see this, and so they are and they're 139 00:07:14,693 --> 00:07:19,333 Speaker 2: sort of directly influencing what's happened. So it sort of 140 00:07:19,373 --> 00:07:23,933 Speaker 2: takes a look at the difficulty of knowing how to 141 00:07:24,173 --> 00:07:28,613 Speaker 2: present information live and do it properly and do it 142 00:07:28,613 --> 00:07:31,693 Speaker 2: well without causing more harm and having those conversations about 143 00:07:31,693 --> 00:07:35,093 Speaker 2: hang on a minute, the parents of these you know, 144 00:07:35,293 --> 00:07:38,173 Speaker 2: Israeli hostages are watching this live. You know, like there 145 00:07:38,213 --> 00:07:40,733 Speaker 2: was just all these thoughts and they're all things which 146 00:07:40,733 --> 00:07:42,853 Speaker 2: we think about today. You know, how often do you 147 00:07:42,893 --> 00:07:44,773 Speaker 2: hear the police say, hey, please do not put up 148 00:07:45,213 --> 00:07:48,213 Speaker 2: videos that you shot of a car accident as you 149 00:07:48,293 --> 00:07:50,973 Speaker 2: drive past it. We think we're still thinking about all 150 00:07:50,973 --> 00:07:54,173 Speaker 2: these things today, but sort of within, you know, using 151 00:07:54,173 --> 00:07:57,533 Speaker 2: different technology. But look, it's I thought it was very 152 00:07:57,613 --> 00:08:01,693 Speaker 2: very well put together, very tense, very much from that. 153 00:08:02,573 --> 00:08:05,533 Speaker 2: It's all coming to you from the control room of 154 00:08:05,573 --> 00:08:10,453 Speaker 2: this TV studio to an interesting new take on this event. 155 00:08:10,653 --> 00:08:14,293 Speaker 3: Nice okay, that's September five, that's also showing in cinemas. 156 00:08:14,373 --> 00:08:17,933 Speaker 3: Francisca's first film was, of course, Jones Mad About the Boy, 157 00:08:17,973 --> 00:08:20,253 Speaker 3: and all the details for both those movies is on 158 00:08:20,293 --> 00:08:22,653 Speaker 3: the News Talks EDB website.
