Chapter 2479

In March 2017, although it was a film, it was about life.

True and delicate story, with a heartbreaking tenderness. At the emotional level, the emotional level, especially the story level, we can easily touch the inner softness, and maximize the charm of the character. When we go to the end, everyone is looking forward to a result of self reconciliation, hoping Lee Chandler can get up again. But the film does not, just like life, we will not find an end, live, We have to go on.

There is no doubt that the focus of the whole work falls on Lee Chandler. It can even be said that it is a one-man play, and the success or failure of the actors is crucial.

In the last life, Cassie Affleck played in this work. He really interpreted what is called "facial paralysis acting" -- different from his brother Ben Affleck, Cassie showed her exquisite acting skills from the beginning of her first work, and her emotional penetration from eyes to movements was excellent.

As early as 2007, Cathy showed her talent by virtue of "the death of the sharpshooter" and "the missing baby". The former even won him the first Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. After that, he has always been active in the field of independent film, constantly polishing his acting skills.

Cassie's performance is delicate and gentle. She can always show the emotional level through her eyes, which is not easy for the actors.

"Manchester by the sea", the overall tone of the work is sad, but sadness also has different levels, forms and ways of expression. It is not only tears that are sad, but also wails that are painful. More often, the heart is broken and silent. Cassie certainly did.

As far as lanli is concerned, "city of love and music" and "Manchester by the sea" are both very favorite works, which can almost be said to go hand in hand. But from the perspective of actors, "Manchester by the sea" is even better, just as "burst drummer" is better than "city of love and music".

The performance space of the characters is wider. As an audience and as an actor, the perspective of examining the work is different.

At the beginning of filming "detachment", in fact, lanli was looking forward to "Manchester by the sea", because the two characters were in a state of facial paralysis showing a kind of sadness and despair, and "Manchester by the sea" even went further than "detachment", with more levels and strength of sadness.

In addition, in his "detachment", Tony Kaye gives the characters more space to present by means of painting, narration and supporting roles; In "Manchester by the sea," however, the space is completely compressed, and Kenneth Kenneth-Lonergan gives all the weight to the actors.

It also means that the performance is more difficult.

Kenneth ronagan is a director with the background of screenwriting. The comedy series of "big brother's side flash" starring Robert De Niro and Billy Cristo is Kenneth's screenplay debut, and then he acted as the screenwriter of "New York gangster"; As early as 2000, Kenneth tried to write and direct by himself. His "you can rely on me" won him a lot of praise. This work and "New York gangster" won him two Oscar nominations for best original play.

After completing the script of "New York gangster" in 2002, Kenneth entered a long incubation period. It was not until 2011 that she appeared in the public eye with another self edited and self directed "Margaret". This work won numerous praise among East Coast film critics and received many nominations from Boston Film Critics Association and Chicago film critics, But it's a pity that we didn't go any further in the award season.

It is also this work that gives Kenneth and Matt Damon a chance to cooperate.

Later, Matt Damon put forward an inspiration idea, which he thought was very suitable for Kenneth's style. After his story idea was provided to Kenneth, Kenneth would complete the script creation. Then, Matt hoped that he would act as a director and star to move the story onto the big screen.

As early as the beginning of last year, the script has been finished. However, "Manchester by the sea" is really too sad and cold. The whole script structure is far away from the framework of Hollywood. It is totally unreasonable to play cards, let alone the sadness of the end, which scares all Hollywood producers away.

Even Matt Damon himself could not find the investment, so the script appeared on the table of Sisyphus pictures. Instead of asking Sisyphus pictures to invest, he spread the net. It is estimated that all the production companies have delivered the script, waiting for the reply.

Last year, when lanli chose the script, he chose "Manchester by the sea", but at that time, his schedule was full, which was not considered for the moment. After a year and a half, this work appears again, which further proves that this work, like the "drunken ballad", is not the style of the award season at all, otherwise it will not be reduced to this place with the name and contacts of Matt Damon.

So what happened this time?

Matt Damon could not refuse Ridley Scott. He promised to play "Mars rescue". Because of the schedule conflict, he gave up "Manchester by the sea" and transferred the work to Kenneth for full disposal. Kenneth acted as the director and was responsible for finding the investment to complete the shooting.

Even Matt couldn't call on the film company, which made Kenneth even more difficult.

As a result, "Mars rescue" has been filmed and officially released on October 2nd, and "Manchester by the sea" has yet to find an investment.

According to the development curve of the last life, Matt will take over "Manchester by the sea" again, but instead of directing or acting, he will introduce Cathy Affleck, and then find Amazon, the online shopping platform. They are trying to build their own online streaming media platform, so they set up Amazon film. Finally, Amazon completed the investment, which announced the official start of the film.

The situation of this life changed a little. Sisyphus cut off Amazon. "Manchester by the sea" was intercepted by Andy in advance and handed over to lanli, expecting to revive his enthusiasm.

If lenley refuses, the film should return to its original track, and Amazon will win its first best picture Oscar nomination in its history.

Now, it's up to Langley.
