The famous
director(导演)of a bib and
expensive film decided to film a beautiful sunset 1 the sea, so that people could
see the man and the woman players in front of 2 at the end of the film as they
said goodbye to each other. So, one day he 3
a group of men out one
evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning
he said to the men, “Have you got the sunset for me?”
“No, sir,” one man
answered, “We’re on the 4 coast(海岸线)here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a
sunrise, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a
sunset!” the director said
5 , “Go to the
airport, take the next 6
to the west coast, and
get one.”
But then one of
them had an idea, “Why don’t we film a sunrise and then put it 7
Projector(放映机)backwards? Then it’ll 8 a sunset.
“That’s a 9 idea!” the director said. Then
he 10 to the other men and said,
“Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a sunrise.”
The group of men
went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise. Then at nine
o’clock they 11 it to the director. “Here it
is, sir,” they said, and showed it to him. He liked it very much.
They all went into
the studio(摄影棚). “All right,” the
director said, “Now our players are going to say goodbye. Run the film
backwards through the projector so that we can 12 the ‘sunset’ behind them.”
The “sunset”
began, 13 after a quarter of a minute,
the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the man to stop.
The birds in the
film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were 14
the beach.
