Chapter 1062

It's not easy to play "buried alive"; It will be more difficult to play gravity.

Alfonso Caron's play completely implements the strategy of extreme simplification, basically cutting off all the branches of the actor, leaving only the key information, and then leaving all the gaps for the actor to fill slowly.

Comparatively speaking, although "buried alive" is trapped in a small wooden box, there are many supporting points for the performance, such as the explosive force of emotion and the turning point of emotion; Today's "gravity" is almost equivalent to removing all the performance brackets, relying entirely on the actor's internal skills and basic skills to promote acting skills, and it still needs full devotion.

What does that mean?

This means that the actor must do his homework well in advance, use methods to develop his acting skills, and truly construct the whole character's mental journey. He not only lies in the coffin as he did at the beginning, but also needs to conceive the background, history and story of the character, which is almost equivalent to writing a biography.

Then, when putting into the performance, we must follow the director's idea and framework, guide with Expressionists' acting skills, offer more accurate, more delicate and more profound performance, complement the plot and theme core, and then fully integrate the characters into the story, telling the whole universe, the whole nature and the whole life as a story of a one-man show, Let the audience forget the character itself.

To really play a role, you need to make it disappear. Such contradictory remarks are the best interpretation of gravity.

First is the method school acting, then is the performance school acting, and finally returns to the method school acting, which can be seen as the theoretical order in the process of "gravity" performance. Of course, in the actual performance process, it is impossible to distinguish in such detail, but it is an integral whole, but before putting into the performance, it is a crucial preparation stage.

For Lan Li, this is not only a severe challenge to the extreme, but also an excellent opportunity to polish his acting skills again. Especially after the stage performance of "les miserables", it's absolutely better to put in such a role now.

Otherwise, Langley would not have just taken a week off after the stage performance, and then came to the UK nonstop, ready to meet the challenge.

Sandra Bullock, who was born in the last century, gave her best performance in her career, even surpassing the "weakness" of her posthumous work, which really left a deep impression on people; In this life, however, Lan Li has to find a new way to interpret a different role from a male perspective.

In the role of Ryan stone in the male version, it is certain that after the space disaster, the first stage and the third stage are consistent with the female version. The first stage is survival instinct and dying struggle, and the third stage is awakening and reviving.

The real difference should appear in the second stage, to get rid of the restriction of gender label and further broaden the theme of the whole film.

Langley once thought about setting up a family for Ryan, such as his divorced wife, his sick daughter, his daughter who died in an accident, and his elderly parents. Their estrangement and separation gradually cut off all of Ryan's fetters and made him despair, Ryan began to give up trying to survive.

But after thinking about it over and over again, lanli vetoed such a plan.

It's not because of other people's settings, but because of the particularity of gravity, simple and crude copy and paste is useless. The female perspective, which is suitable for Sandra's version, is put above the male perspective, and the whole theme meaning immediately begins to fall back.

According to Langley's original idea, it is responsibility and fetter that reawakens Ryan's vitality, from his wife, from his parents and from his children. This is feasible, but from a philosophical point of view, it does not reach the height of life and the universe, on the contrary, it is inferior.

The reason why Sandra's version of Ryan can sublimate the theme is that she first uses the maternal characteristics of women to establish the foundation for the fetters between mother and daughter. After the critical moment of life and death, she gives up the obsession of fetters, no longer immerses herself in the sadness and numbness brought about by her daughter's death, and returns to the original meaning of life, Accepted the call from gravity.

As a result, the spirit, opened up a return to the road.

However, the copy and paste version of lanli turns responsibility into obsession in the opposite way. It takes family and family as the concern and motivation to wake up the hope of survival. On the contrary, it is inferior and simple.

What's more, the story version of Sandra is simply applied to lanli, but the pregnant life characteristics of women are missing from men. On the contrary, it enlarges the differences in life experience caused by "gender differences", and the meaning of interpretation becomes thin and superficial.

Before, when discussing the role conception of the whole film project, lanli and Alfonso mentioned the work "tree of life", and conceived the transformation of the male version of Ryan stone. After missing the female characteristics, they further gave up the male characteristics, blurred the mystery of gender differences, and returned to the origin of life purely——

The moment of the big bang.

In the chaos, the explosion took place, which made a great breakthrough, and then gave birth to signs of life.

In other words, the male version of Ryan should symbolize the source of life, pure and primitive survival power. As a result, Lan Li started to conceive again and conceived a more pure motive force

Starting from family, it gives a person social attributes, becomes the support and motivation of the person, and encourages the person to pursue himself; In the process of pursuing self and ID, he gradually began to cut off the social connection and become a pure life body, giving up all social attributes.

But in the moment of life and death, it returns to the whole process of life remodeling and promotion of advanced life.

As a child, Ryan stone is a genius and a model. He is good at mastering everything, from learning to sports, from politeness to social interaction, and even self life management, which can be called perfect. With a happy and warm family, parents' love and support, brother's worship and admiration, they are always the biggest backers of Ryan. They support Ryan to pursue his dream bravely.

For Ryan, he yearns for the space universe and the mystery of the unknown. Therefore, he hopes to become a scientific researcher, leave the earth, study the whole huge galaxy in the universe, and pursue the origin of human beings. With the support of his family, he began to run towards the goal selflessly and realized his dream.

Ryan became an astronaut.

However, in the process of running, Ryan gradually becomes alienated from his family.

On the one hand, it is not easy for him to fly to the universe. Even if he tries his best, he may not be able to realize it. He is completely immersed in his dream, forgetting himself, even forgetting his own existence, and neglecting everyone else.

On the other hand, because he is a genius, his way of looking at the world is very different, just like the geeks in the big bang. They don't understand his world, and he doesn't understand their world.

In this way, gradually away. Those expectations and care, on the contrary, gradually become pressure, heavily fell on Ryan's shoulder, so he began to learn to be independent, also learned to be strong.

For ordinary men, society does not allow them to be vulnerable and sad, they need to be strong and bear all the weight; But for Ryan, it's different. The attribute of gender comes next, which is more from the thinking differences between genius and ordinary people. After stripping gender, everything is arranged and combined in the way of numbers, logic and rules.

In the big bang of life, Sheldon Cooper saw gender as a social attribute, which he did not have.

As a result, Ryan became more and more indifferent and less connected with his family. At the time of the accident in space, he had not contacted his family for many years and was alone. His social attribute gradually disappeared from him.

After the explosion, after the first stage of survival, the fear of death and loneliness in the limit of life severely destroyed all the armor and defense lines, which made Ryan re-examine himself and ID, and accumulated the social attributes of more than 20 or even 30 years - the specific age setting still needs to be further discussed with Alfonso - and reappeared. Fear, worry, self-confidence, self-confidence, self-confidence, self-confidence, self-confidence and self-confidence Despair and other negative emotions began to break out, so Ryan decided to give up.

Being in the environment of the space universe is like a womb and a chaos at the beginning of the universe. Ryan returns to the most primitive state, the state at the beginning of the birth of life.

Then, the whole long life, once again, like rebirth, but more like the process of the big bang.

In lanli's conception, the whole process of returning to self and ID awakens the memory of the family, and wakes up the dream and motivation under the support of the family, which gives Ryan the opportunity to examine himself again

His dream is not to become an astronaut, but to study the universe, life and the unknown after becoming an astronaut. But now, finally become an astronaut, but has lost the original passion, but also lost the joy of success, it seems that everything is taken for granted.

Such a layer of unchanging days, after the law, numb. Habits are so terrible.

Now, after breaking the inertia by an accident, I look back on my life and find my goal again.

However, the problem lies in "looking back on life", which can't be done in movies, because the time and space of movies are limited; All of the above thinking content will not appear in the film, or even can not appear, just lanli's self conception. So, what entry point should he choose to bring such a huge and magnificent idea into the film?
