Chapter 963

"Gravity" is a very favorite movie of Langley.

It can't help many viewers to catch the real and outstanding meaning of gravity. They are amazed by the strong technology and the brilliant effect. But they are also tucking away the weakness of the script and the mediocrity of the story. They always make complaints about the "2001 space roaming", and then think that gravity is far less than the former.

In fact, "2001 Space Odyssey" and "gravity" are outstanding classics.

The former discusses the exploration of mysterious space and the rebellion of artificial intelligence. Just like its English title, "A-Space Odyssey", Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic juxtaposed with Homer's epic. The core of the film is exploration.

The latter discusses a very different topic: the origin of human beings. The core of film lies in speculation.

Although the technical aspect of "gravity" is brilliant, it is the metaphor in the simple script that really makes this work moving. Through the desperate survival under the space, it metaphors the origin and birth of human beings, explores the most primitive philosophical topics, and has the same wonderful effect as "the fantasy drifting of the youth school".

Perhaps, the relatively weak and minimalist script has not been further explored, which limits the work to explore a larger blueprint; However, it is not enough to be profound, but it is enough to be great!

All the core ideas, with the heroine as the carrier, quietly permeate into the whole work. The breeding of women, the reproduction of life and the origin of species, these philosophical reflections are presented through different picture composition, giving up the script's lines language, and purely using the lens composition and actor performance to complete the communication.

Women, this gender attribute, plays a crucial role in this role.

Last life, the heroine was played by Sandra Bullock. After winning the Oscars through "weakness", there was a lot of controversy about Sandra, because that year was also the year of the Oscars, and Sandra stood out more among the short ones; But in gravity, Sandra really proves herself.

"Gravity" and "burying alive" are both desperate to survive, narrow space and one-man's one-man show. But the performance difficulty of the two works is different.

First of all, we can learn from the living environment; The outer space environment of gravity is not.

Secondly, what "burying alive" needs to face is the urgency of narrow space; In addition to gravity, it also needs to present loneliness and confusion in weightless environment.

Thirdly, the overall appeal of "buried alive" is relatively simple. Horror movies explore the social reality through the setting of roles and scripts, but do not go further; The "gravity" is not only to survive, but also to explore life, minimalist script, all the emotional responsibilities are based on the protagonist.

To be sure and certain, it's also a one-man show, but the difficulty and depth of the performance of "gravity" go beyond at least two levels of "buried alive".

Sandra's performance is delicate and profound, with a sense of hierarchy. She introverts all the performance aura, but does not affect the emotional transmission at all. Under the capture of the camera, she truly presents the poetic and philosophical film theme.

On top of that year's Oscars, Sandra won the best actress nomination for the second time with her excellent performance. Although she lost to Kate Blanchett of "blue Jasmine" in the end, Sandra gained countless affirmation, really established her position in the industry, and seemed to be the leader of Hollywood's first actress.

In gravity, there are only two actors, and all the weight of the performance is on the heroine.

In the last life, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney played the two roles respectively, but George was completely reduced to a supporting role and became the best witness of Sandra's one-man show.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sandra made "gravity", and "gravity" also made Sandra.

From a technical point of view, Langley likes gravity very much; From the perspective of performance, "gravity" will be a new test for the film industry. It is not only the self performance of actors, but also the need to adapt to the magic of the DreamWorks of film and make corresponding adjustments. It is a completely different challenge from the west end of London.

According to the truth, Lan Li has no reason to refuse, and should even be eager to try.

However, from the perspective of film, lenley believes that women's roles can give film more connotation, especially philosophical reflection. This is the actor's inborn weakness.

There is no doubt that Lan Li is deeply honored; But it is because of love that Langley has to be objective and calm: Sandra Bullock is the best choice for gravity.

"Judging from your description, this is a living in a secret room in outer space. Are you going to shoot a work like 'buried alive' Although the memory of the last life is very clear, Alfonso has not yet told the details of the script. Lanli can't predict ahead of time, but can only guide by persuasion.

"Buried alive" Alfonso is full of question marks.

Blue Li is also not from tiny Leng Leng, immediately dumbfounded.

In fact, Alfonso revealed last night that his understanding of lanli was very limited, and he probably never saw lanli's works; All of his knowledge about Langley came from the performance of Almeida theater, which also became the driving force for him to find Langley. Therefore, "buried alive" for Alfonso, may be a name never heard of.

This is the first time that lanli has met a person in the industry who has never heard of "burying alive", but it does not mean that it is rare.

Instead of further explanation, Langley changed the topic with a smile. "I mean, what's the core idea of the whole movie? Is it just survival? It's just that the survival this time is quite special. It took place in outer space. Besides, is there no other appeal for the film? Is there no other requirement for an actor's performance? "

"Yes, of course." Alfonso's eyes lit up slightly. "The space dilemma is just an external package. The real connotation lies in the birth and origin of life."

Alfonso is not an actor after all. His expression may not be very accurate. So he stopped for a moment and sorted out his thoughts. Then he continued, "it's like winter is over and spring is coming. On the frozen soil, the seeds take root and germinate little by little, and even need to crush the boulders on their heads to grow tenaciously and unyielding. The value of life lies in the constant struggle. "

"In the environment of absolute loneliness and endless despair, Ryan is like an embryo, or a seed. By the way, Ryan is the main character of the play. Ryan is faced with a dilemma, he can choose to give up, then he will disappear completely; He can also choose to insist, not necessarily survive, but at least grasp a wisp of hope.

The birth of any life is like this, only after layers of tests, survival of the fittest, the jungle, finally gave birth to the youth of life.

In outer space, it is a very special environment, just like a woman's womb. Everything is quiet. Deep in my heart, I believe in survival, and I love the earth. That will and determination became the essence of his continuous struggle, continuous efforts, and finally successful salvation. "

The script for gravity was written by Alfonso Caron and his son Jonas cuaron. Although he is not an actor, he is a screenwriter and director. His mastery of the core of the story is pure and profound.

"Like gravity." Lan Li said summarily.

This is the source of the title of the film, the connection between Ryan and the earth, the connection between embryo and life, starting from the gravity of physical phenomenon, which pulls Ryan from the weightlessness of outer space to the gravity of the earth; The will to survive derived from philosophy is like a seed sprouting, breaking through many obstacles and blooming life.

A gravity, a down-to-earth gravity, reflects the origin and birth of human beings. It's not weightlessness, it's not survival in space, it's gravity. Again, "2001 Space Odyssey" lies in exploration, while "gravity" lies in speculation.

Alfonso opened his mouth wide, his face and eyes were filled with shock, and he couldn't make a sound. He was stunned and squeezed, and finally exclaimed, "God!" He blurted out his exclamation, which finally broke the shackles. He approached the round table excitedly, "yes, this work is called 'gravity'! Jesus Christ! How do you know! "

No.

After saying it, Lan Li exclaimed in his heart. If he didn't pay attention, he exposed the details. Looking at the ecstatic Alfonso, lanli pretended that it had never happened and quietly changed the topic, "since it's about the origin of life, it should be a more appropriate choice to use actresses. You know, the composition of images and metaphors, the matrix represented by women, is always full of philosophical color

This is true in every work of art, especially painting. Among those great works, gender itself is a kind of symbol, which is combined with philosophy, myth and literature. Through the composition and setting of painting, it reflects the artist's self exploration and thinking.

"Ha Alfonso couldn't help laughing happily.
