Chapter 2067

"Carol" is about the love story between two women. In the social background of the 1950s, it was strictly prohibited, which has become an obstacle and barrier between them. For actors, it will inevitably become the core of their performance.

At this point, Rooney is thinking about this.

Instead of speaking at once, Lan Li thought seriously, "in the past ten years, 'Brokeback Mountain' has become a classic that everyone praises. Many people think that Li fully interprets the surging but repressive emotion between the two men."

"He consciously weakens the noise and chaos of the social environment. He only exists as the background, but focuses on the characters, reflecting the heavy social constraints from their struggle and pain. This forbearance and introspection from the eastern culture gives the story a strong aftereffect. This is undoubtedly a very brilliant work. His Oriental temperament and Western understanding are perfectly combined. "

Instead of giving a direct answer, lanli started a discussion, which made Rooney relax a little and her thoughts fluctuate with lanli.

"It's undeniable that this is one of the reasons, but I don't think we can ignore one more thing: the background of the times. In Wyoming in the 1960s, that was a taboo topic. No one wanted to mention it, and no one dared to admit it. Even if it was mentioned occasionally, cowboys were contemptuous and aggressive. Under such circumstances, they have to choose forbearance and introspection, otherwise a little commotion may lead to death. "

Lu Ni savors Lan Li's words carefully. "You mean that their emotions are closely related to the times, the environment, the status and so on."

"Yes, it's also about the style the director expects." Lan Li nodded his head and said, "if we shoot similar stories in the 1980s or the 21st century in the same way, then the overall style will be unconvincing. Even Lee, who is also the same, can't make a classic."

In other words, different directors have different interpretations, such as Pedro Almodovar's gorgeous color, Tim Burton's Gothic style, Wong Kar Wai's bewildered dream, Gus Van Sant's estrangement and coldness... They can all endow the same story with different styles, even if it is the same Brokeback Mountain, The final appearance may be very different, as for whether the final can cast a classic, that no one knows.

Todd Haynes, the director of Carroll, is an artistic creator who is very good at using color conflicts to create moral dilemmas. His works such as "far away from heaven", "velvet gold mine" and "I'm not there" are all like this. They seem to be bold and unrestrained, but actually they are introverted and precipitated. All the delicate and complex emotions in his heart are exhausted, For the actor's performance details and space use and so on, this is one of his strengths.

It can be understood that Todd Hayes is also a director who is very strict with actors. His acting style needs to be introverted, but his emotional content needs to be complex. Julian Moore is his favorite, which has many similarities with Ann Lee, but also has his own requirements.

Returning to the film that Rooney is making, similar to Brokeback Mountain, Carol took place in the 1950s. Even if the background changes to New York, the social environment has many similarities——

The original novel "the price of salt" could not even be published, but Patricia Highsmith, the writer who created "the train monster" and "the genius Ripley", even had to publish anonymously, which is enough to show the bad and depressing social environment at that time.

"... then, I should restrain myself and weaken this struggle as much as possible?" Rooney seems to be stuck in a rut and has no way to jump out.

Lanli understands this situation - he often appears, as if thinking is trapped in a dead cycle. At this time, he needs other opinions to break the cycle. "Whether to present, how to present, and what propriety to present are the self feelings of actors in the performance process, and more importantly, you need to coordinate with the director; As far as I'm concerned, the focus you're thinking about is a bit off base. "

Rooney leaned against the back of her chair and looked askance at blue.

"I think the root of the tangle should be whether you really fall in love with Carol, rather than the fear brought about by social taboos. Just like Ennis of Brokeback Mountain, Jack is very sure, but Ennis always refuses to face his real self, and refuses to admit that he is completely in love with Jack, which also makes the end of the story burst out with great power. As for the social environment, that's part of what made Ennis

Lan Li's words are slightly tongue twistered, entangled and influenced by society, which makes him confused

If you really fall in love, you will be desperate to fly moths to the fire. Those entanglements and taboos can't restrain the restless emotion after all; But if there is still hesitation and consideration, measurement and calculation, then it is not love, not love enough, but love is not pure enough - or love yourself more.

Lu Ni chewed carefully, and slowly came back to herself Her perspective is slightly different, but she has a keen grasp of the core essence of the problem.

Jane Austen's original novel "reason and emotion" is the best example. These two kinds of emotions are contradictory, and rarely exist together. That is to say, they use reason to weigh a lot, but they will eventually yield to emotion - the hot and crazy emotion will finally burst like a flood.

Similarly, in the movie version "sense and emotion" directed by Ann Lee, Emma Thompson's performance also shows that kind of entanglement and struggle delicately.

"Entanglement and hesitation are bound to appear, because the influence of social environment is omnipresent and cannot be ignored, and they always exist objectively; But the real root is not from the secular obstacles, but my feelings for Carol, those hesitations, those thoughts and those timid steps. The root lies in my own thinking: whether that kind of love is the 'emotion' I guess, whether it is the impulse to open my arms after burning my life and soul. "

For the film as a whole, the differences in these details can be ignored, because entanglement is entanglement after all, whether it is for social pressure or to identify the heart. If the final emotions can be accurately presented, the audience will not be able to distinguish the hidden essential differences.

But for the performance, these details are the context and framework of the whole performance. The actor's understanding of the "origin" will also affect the understanding of the whole script, role and emotion, and then affect the chemical reaction between the actor and the other actors. There is a huge gap in the quality of the performance.

In other words, although the performances presented are all "tangled" - or confused, hesitant, timid, and other mixed emotions, the performance quality may be quite different, further affecting the subtle differences of the whole impression and the audience's impression.

Gradually, gradually, Rooney's eyes brightened up. She said to herself that she could complete her thinking even without Lan Li's dialogue. She could clearly perceive that the whole aura energy around her body became warm and bright, which also meant that her thoughts finally returned to normal, and those confusion and confusion were slowly disappearing, and then she began to think, She began to read the script again, and her vision was obviously firm.

So Rooney was immersed in the world of the script; And Lan Li didn't say much, so he picked up the children's book on the desk and began to read it again.

"Did you come here in your own car?" Rooney's mind finally cleared up, raised her head and looked at Lan Li quietly, and her smile rose.

"Well." Lan Li answered in a deep voice, but found that Rooney's eyes still fell on him, which made him leave the children's books in his hand, "why, do you doubt my self driving ability?"

Rooney didn't deny it, and the smile at the bottom of her eyes slowly overflowed. "According to Matthew's information, you are a physique that can turn off the engine and start the engine out of order, so you are not suitable for self driving. You'd better have a driver to accompany you when you go out. He also gives me the heavy responsibility of the driver, doesn't he?"

"..." Matthew, Langley dropped his shoulders in silence, "yes. He is right. But this time from New Orleans to Cincinnati, my car broke down only twice, and I didn't get lost. Although it took a third more time than expected, I arrived safely! "

Looking at lanli, who is serious in defense, Rooney's smile rises slightly and nods to express appreciation. "Fortunately, Andy didn't use the positioning system this time." Is this... A compliment“ Why do you suddenly think of coming to visit the crew? I think the recent shooting schedule is very tight. Isn't that Disney movie waiting for you to turn on? If you sneak up like this and Disney and Universal Pictures know it, it's bad. "

Rooney was joking seriously.

Lanli looked at the smile under her eyes and said quietly, "because I miss you."

"Shua", in a flash, Rooney's cheek turned red, and it was so hot that it almost bled. Even she didn't dare to look directly at Lan Li. It's rare to see that Lan Li suddenly began to say love words, and he still said such numb words without blushing. This kind of feeling is really

"Ha. Ha. The level of cold jokes has dropped. " Rooney didn't know what she was talking about.

Lan Li immediately grasped the upper hand, and was still serious, "I'm serious. Because I miss you, I drove over from New Orleans just to see your eyes

Poop! Poop! Poop!

Rooney could hear the sound of her heart hitting her chest clearly. In a moment, it seemed that the whole world was bright, and then she fell in love again.
