They are literary youths among Hollywood stars

Time Network News: For some celebrities, especially those who have appeared in the audience's favorite movies or TV dramas, people often forget that they are actually ordinary people who, like us, have an open mindset and are easily moved by one or more works of art, regardless of genre.

During the process of bringing the latest film and television information to readers, Time Network reporter Brent Simon has interviewed many of the world's top stars. In 2018, we once produced a project called "They Are Ordinary People Moved by Art", which summarized the different answers of celebrities to the same question - which of the art works they have recently encountered, whether it is movies, TV dramas, albums, songs, books, paintings, or any other work, has left them with an unexpected and profound feeling? In the past year, we have once again discussed this topic with different celebrities.

Several of them, such as Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Tom Holland, Taren Eggton, Natalie Portman, and Okafina, have interesting answers that may surprise and shock you - and even inspire you to read a book, listen to a song, watch a movie, a play, or get to know an artist you have never heard of before. Take a look at these answers, and you are also welcome to write your thoughts in the comments section and share them with us.

Jennifer Aniston: Oh my goodness, it's Billy Krupp's solo drama I watched in New York, titled "Harry Clark". It's so stunning. In 80 minutes, he played 18 roles, which is one of the most impressive performances I have ever seen an actor perform.

Andrew Lincoln: Before the start of the previous season of The Walking Dead, I read a book called 1947 because it happened to be about the impact of World War II on the past century. I found this book to be very heart wrenching because it had accurate foresight on the immigration and people's movements in Europe and around the world at that time. The book mentions the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel, and you can see the beginning and end of the conflict and dispute - you can think, "Well, Adolf Hitler is dead, the Nazis no longer exist." This excellent book reads almost like a memoir - she tells, explores that era, and also mentions the revival or infiltration of fascism that still exists in Europe today, and this ideology has been passed down, Even spread to South America.

I am very, very shocked that nationalism and other similar ideas are still very powerful and easy to stand on. Hate is much easier to persist than love, right? Now we are still standing still, which deeply shocked and touched me. Technological development always leads us to mistakenly believe that the world is moving forward in a one-way direction, but on a moral level, it is actually more like quicksand. I think this is also why stories are important.
