曾拍《大空头》(The Big Short)聚焦美国次贷危机的导演亚当·迈凯(Adam McKay)日前与派拉蒙签约,将导演一部讲述美国前副总统迪克·切尼(Dick Cheney)故事的传记片。而布拉德·皮特的“B计划”制片公司也将继《点球成金》、《大空头》后再次与迈凯合作,制作这部电影。
迪克·切尼号称是美国历史上最有权势的副总统,他也是现任美国副总统彭斯(Mike Pence)的效仿对象。布什当政八年时间里,表面上切尼是美国的二号人物,但实际上小布什总统(George W. Bush)的很多决定,包括阿富汗战争、入侵伊拉克等都是由他定夺的。
切尼本人是一个充满争议的矛盾体。他一直都是保守党派,曾为尼克松、福特、老布什政府做过幕僚,后进入哈利伯顿公司当了几年CEO,然后和小布什一起入主白宫;但他对于同性恋婚姻却持支持态度,因为他的女儿是一名女同性恋...

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
