Texas Killing Yard-Stills Atlas

On the outskirts of Texas City, Texas, just 3 minutes south of Houston, less than 6 bodies were found here, mostly young girls, some women, prostitutes and primary and secondary school students. Almost every girl's killer is not the same person, which means there are many killers. Don Fararoni wrote an outstanding play, and I also did some research. I found a map published in the local newspaper with photos of these victims printed on it. These photos cover the characteristics of the times for nearly 3 years-Martha Brady's straight hair in the 197s, bangs in the 198s and striped shirts in the 199s. For decades, these girls got up in the morning, cleaned up and left home. They don't know what they see in the mirror is their last self, and they become one of the victims. Many of the photos are school archives photos, and they are staring at the camera. These are beautiful nightmares and ghosts. The faces of these people urge me, the actors and the staff to tell this difficult story in the most elegant and wise way possible.

The director's daughter

In Hollywood, the director's daughter has gradually become a general trend, and there are many directors as well as actors. Robert redford's daughter amy redford, francis ford coppola's daughter Sofia Coppola, john huston's daughter Angelica Houston, david lynch's daughter Jennifer Lynch and P ridley scott's daughter jordan scott are all involved in directing. Naturally, ami canaan mann, the daughter of michael mann, who was a screenwriter for nypd blue and an assistant director for The Wire of Fire, did not give up. In 21, she produced her own directorial debut, Early Morning. However, the film disappeared after attending several film festivals. And her "Texas Killing Field" this time can be regarded as her "Hollywood debut".

Texas Killing-stills Atlas

Actually, the earliest film that influenced ami mann was not the work of his father, but Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Moreover, michael mann divorced his wife long ago, and ami mann has been living in a world without michael mann. She said: "I have never been able to separate my father from his films, because I have little time with him, and I only know him through movies and some short contact." At that time, I didn't think movies were anything. What I like most about movies is photography, and I also like painting very much. This situation changed completely after I watched Apocalypse Now. That movie had a great influence on me, because at that time I felt that every frame I saw, every music I heard and every line was made by someone behind my back. This is a rigorous and serious expression. That is, from that time on, I began to pay attention to the point and director. " After that, ami mann began to get in close contact with his father and often visited his father's studio. At the age of 16, she worked as a production assistant in michael mann's The Ultimate Police Network. Later, when she was ready to pick up the guide tube and direct her own film, she found that her ability was not enough. Ami mann said: "Later, I went back to school to study, while studying, working on the set and working as a screenwriter. At this time, my father's movies with criminal themes have a great influence on me, because this is the type of film that I have been in contact with the most during this time and I am most familiar with it. "

The identity of the director's daughter has given ami mann many convenient conditions for filming, whether it's gathering actors, scripts or looking for investment. Many big-name actors and big-name producers have come to the cast of "Texas Killing Field". On the set, ami mann always leaves a director chair for michael mann, although he has never been to the set to sit in this chair. Ami mann said: "In fact, he wanted me to finish the film by myself, and let me handle every little detail and problem in the shooting process. He hopes that his influence on the film will be minimized. Therefore, he has never been to the crew from beginning to end, nor has he made any comments on the editing, nor has he told the actors' performances and my direction. "

Back to Texas

Texas Killing-Stills Atlas

The screenwriter of the film is Don Fararoni. He was an agent of the Drug Control Bureau of the United States, and he was michael mann's consultant in filming The Wire and Miami Vice. This is his first script. The story of the film is roughly based on a series of murders in Texas. The killers who made these murders are obviously not the same person, and the means of committing crimes are also varied. More importantly, there is no clear conclusion about the principal in this case and his motive for killing. Texas slaughterhouse, in the real place of America, is on the outskirts of Texas City, only half an hour's drive from Houston. Since the 196s, it has become a notorious "dumping ground". Over the decades, more than 6 bodies have been found here intermittently. Most of them are young girls, but there are also some women, prostitutes and primary and secondary school students.

In order to shoot this film, ami mann and Don Fararoni returned to Texas to retrieve the original files and documents. Ami mann said, "When you look at the photos of those victims, you will feel as if they were living yesterday. Those are all girls. They are beautiful, wearing all kinds of hairstyles and clothes, ranging from Martha Brady's straight hair in the 197s, bangs in the 198s and striped shirts in the 199s. They seem to be talking, and they want to tell me what happened to them, and there seems to be a force driving me to shoot this film. After all, such a tragic and sensational thing needs someone to tell it in a form. I didn't exaggerate violence in the film to make a person extremely evil. That is to say, in this movie of mine, there is no villain in the pure sense, and there is no savior. I want to show a world where a killer is among us. He may be the driver who drives you to school, or the man who goes downstairs to buy milk. Because unexpected things always happen in life. "

The film has a dazzling cast, and sam worthington, chloe moretz and Jessica Chastain are worth watching. Ami mann said: "The cast is a trump card in my hand, because they are all the best actors in this era. Especially sam worthington and chloe moretz, the unique and precise temperament and character they brought to the characters almost became the soul of the film. " Jessica Chastain said: "It's not as easy as I thought to star in a thriller police film, because ami mann added a lot of her opinions and comments on this matter to this film. In other words, worthington and I, as our partner, must show a sense of confusion, which is devoted to the matter, and we have no clue yet. This is probably the most difficult point in the film. Moreover, many emotional dramas and many conflicts, ami mann is always on the point, which also brings difficulties to the performance, because there is not much room for us to release our emotions and perform, and we can only perform it carefully. "

film evaluation/editor of Texas Killing Field

Texas Killing Field Atlas

The level is average and the lineup is dazzling. Although the director has made great efforts in historical details and characters' background, it must be said that the film has not done enough in plot and turning point.

-Hollywood Reporter

Although the cast is dazzling, the character and characteristics of the characters are submerged under the appearance of the actors.

-"Variety"

As a young director is in charge of a work with a big theme for the first time, ami canaan mann has done well. At least this film has all the commercial and dramatic elements of all the thriller movies.
