访谈录 2010-03-19 汤姆汉克斯Morning Joe访谈（五）

I wanna put into a plug for a film. He's also executive producer at the WW2 museum in New Orleans that we were down there last year for the premier¹ forum². They've got a new i-max like theater that has been built. And it is a real hard time explaining it. Tom had a hard time explaining it to me. I had to admit that I... It's 4 dimensional. And it plays out, it begins with a focal radio coming out of the screen, one of those little cabinet radios with the announcement of Pearl Harbor. And then I'll let you take from there, you must go see it when you get anymore...

Called  beyond all boundaries. The theme that it suggests, the pure cost of what the war was. We're talking abut³ more than just 400,000 American lives, but more like, what's the final number, i think, 40-60 million lives.

Yeah. There're 50, more, that number is always unclear, 50-60 million lives. But the number that always gets me was fought on 6 of the 7 continents that war was. It was truly a world war. And all the skies, all the seas, and before it was over, 50-60 million people had perished.

You know, i remember my going back as I grew up in the San F.. around the San Fransisco bay area, Alameda, the naval⁴ air station was in Alameda. And all of my friends growing up. Their dads were on the ranger⁵ in the Coral Sea, in the navy, in the enterprise. And the older folks were talking about the days of blacking out San Fransisco. And I thought, how do you black out San Fransisco? You mean you lit at night time, you just turned off every light you got. And they said, oh, yeah, we did that for about 3 years. Thank god. Can't imagine doing something like that.

Let me ask very quickly about you moving from being an actor to a director.

I am still an actor. I know you're...

Come on. Cut me some slack.  ???

Five years ago, when you have... he's in a couple of movies, what did you want to do next?

I wanna be a producer. God, nobody wants to be a producer.

This is, all right, director, this is gonna be a nightmare the guy is to.. but you just took to it. Did you always want... I was... "that thing you do", the first thing that you did.

I did. I wrote and directed "that thing you do".

That's a great movie.

Thank you, thank you.

I'm still seeing the sign, can't get it out of my mind.

???

And I wrote and directed a move that I'm gonna make with Julie Roberts this spring. It's fun. The nature of how I was educated and the fun of doing this was doing everything on the other side of the proscenium. I loved running shows, i loved stage and man in shows, I worked on lights, I did it also. I think I've turned my attention, deficit⁶ disorder⁷ into a lucrative⁸ career.

And that's...

Like half the staff here, I might add.

JFK, that's the next big project. It's gonna be controversial.

Well, it's Vincent Bugliosi's book. I met Mr. Bugliosi and he said, I'm not a leader, I'm a prosecor leader. I'm a prosecutor⁹. I'm not a writer.

He's not ??? at times.

He said, if you're gonna do this, if you're gonna do this. This gotta have to be great. I'm not just talking great, I mean it's gonna have to be brilliantly great.So we're gonna do everything we possibly can. And if we're able to do it, and it's in the process right now, it will be, today's United States of America, we'll go on television trying to document in as authentic¹⁰ ways as possible the fact that a single man wanted to kill the president of the US in 1963 and he was able to do so. And by saying that, we'll be the most controversial thing on television.

So it's gonna be like Oliver Stone movie where there's actually a billy goat with a rifle that was paid by Bulgarians through Cuba and killed. It's not gonna be like that. What do we speak for?

Well, that was a damned fine movie. I gotta admit it.

It was a good movie.

I enjoy watching that movie.阿
