The scene of the police station is over, and the next, and the scene of the interior.
Actress Cate Blanchett will appear.
She plays "Madeleine", an important character in the play and a bridge between the two leading actors.
She is a psychiatrist.
On the surface, she is the girlfriend of "Colin"; secretly, she has a relationship with the patient "Billy".
In the movie, in the first 2 hours of scenes, Dunn and Leonardo, the two male protagonists, have not had contact with each other.
Makes the two main clues of the film look a bit fragmented.
This is the ability of the great screenwriter William Mohanna. He rewrote the setting of the two heroines in "Infernal Affairs" with a weak sense of existence, and made the heroines in the image of two vases into one person!
and given an important mission.
Through this woman, two hidden clues are integrated, so that the rhythm of the whole film always revolves around a core theme.
This not only makes the characters in the play more vivid and vivid, but also adds more twists and turns to the whole story.
The original "Madeleine," played by Vera Farmiga, was mediocre, not as bad as Matt Damon, but far from showing the character's complexity.
In other words, the character didn't stand up.
Otherwise, there is a buffer zone between the two male protagonists, and he is also a psychiatrist, and there are more psychological dialogues. With such a wiggle room, she won't even get an Oscar nomination.
In this version of "The Departed", Dunn strongly recommended "The Devil" Cate Blanchett!
She does not have the beauty of a vase, but has the demeanor of a goddess.
A frown, a smile, a look of anger, all are charming.
Her acting skills are enough to conquer the complex role of "Madeleine".
In the elevator, seven or eight people stood up.
Dunn is dressed in a formal suit, handsome and sunny; Cate Blanchett is a lady's suit, with blond hair, which is very eye-catching.
This is the first time the two meet.
Dunn stared at the blond Kate, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Are you sent by the hospital?"
A hint of suspicion flashed in Kate's eyes, "Have I seen you at work?"
Tang En shook his head and said, "No, but I know you. Those who are under a lot of pressure at work will come to you to talk and chat."
Kate's eyes were indifferent, and she was not curious about this way of approaching. Dunn hurriedly said, "No, no, I really know that you are an expert in mental health."
Kate nodded, "Yes, I have an appointment on this floor."
Tang En squeezed his eyes and joked slightly: "You will enjoy it, this level...is all weirdos, I'm going to the next level."
"Oh~~~ are you a policeman?"
Cate Blanchett came to a realization.
The upper floor is the office of the police.
Tang En's face showed excitement, and there was a bit of show in his words, "Yes... Besides, I'm still in law school."
Kate's expression was much kinder than before, and she smiled for the first time, "Are you going to night school?"
Tang En said: "Oh, yes, Harvard doesn't have night classes. I checked last time."
Kate couldn't help but laugh.
This sentence is too exaggerated, as if Harvard opens night school, you can get in.
She jokingly said, "When was the last time you checked?"
Dunn grinned: "before I **** went to night school."
At this time, the elevator had already been lifted and reached the floor where Cate Blanchett was going to visit.
However, the two obviously had a very pleasant chat. Dunn's slightly boastful humor was very attractive.
Kate stepped out of the elevator, looked back at Dunn, rolled her hair by her ear, and said with a smile, "Okay, I graduated from Massachusetts State University, I don't want to joke with you."
"But you make me think you're joking with me, or...you have to invite me to dinner?" Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, Tang En quickly reached out to block it, and looked back apologetically at other people in the elevator. people.
They are dissatisfied!
Everyone is waiting to clock in at work. You two are ** at the elevator door. It is everyone's time that is wasted!
Cate Blanchett is a psychiatrist. She glanced at the other people in the elevator at random, and said with a corner of her mouth: "Maybe after you kill someone, we can officially meet."
This sentence is a joke with Dunn, very funny.
At the same time, it also has a deterrent effect on other people in the elevator.
So that the two can continue to "chat" at the elevator door, and the others can only stare blankly.
The original "Madeleine" didn't show this second layer of logic, it just gave people a sense of joking.
This lost the opportunity to show her character as a psychiatrist, as well as the ease and frankness with which she often communicates with murderers.
It is precisely because she is so bold and complex that she can pave the way for future roles. When she was in love with Tang En, she had an affair with Leon, and even after she became pregnant, she wanted to deceive Tang En.
Cate Blanchett is the big devil, and this kind of double-level performance is very comfortable for her. With that slightly hoarse low voice and deep-tempered eyes, as soon as the aura came out, the image immediately plumped up.
Even in this scene, it covered Dunn's limelight a bit.
Of course Dunn is not to be outdone!
The easiest way to break the opponent's rhythm in a performance is to explode emotionally.
Dunn's "mirror-possessed" Kevin Spacey is naturally impossible to be like Leonardo. Whenever he needs to be suppressed by aura, he will shout and shout hard, trying to break out through strong emotions. , to regain the rhythm.
Driven by the rhythm of Cate Blanchett, he was relaxed and natural, the smile on his face seemed to be brighter and more sunny than before, and he said with a smile: "If I can have a meal with you, even if I let me It's okay to poke someone's heart with a **** ice pick!"
It was a warm smile, but a cold sentence came out.
The strong contrast once again made this performance segment, centered on Tang En, formed an aura that instantly gathered.
Cate Blanchett burst into an uncontrollable trembling feeling at the same time of the accident!
Not fear, but excitement!
This is the joy of acting!
The two sides, you come and go, do not give in to each other, and compete for the initiative.
The routine jumps out, but it does not break away from the script.
This is completely different from rehearsal, which is almost the highest achievement of improvisation.
In terms of acting skills, Kate the Devil is indeed a head above Leonardo and Mark Wahlberg. Under the sudden pressure of Dunn, her performance did not go out of shape at all, but kept up with the pace, as if she wanted to change the rhythm. Taking it back.
What is a great match?
That is, the actors show their powerful charm as much as possible while meeting the requirements of the script!
Cate Blanchett has completely entered the state, but unfortunately, in the next script design, she has no lines.
It doesn't matter, no lines, no eyes, no facial expressions!
Under the swear words of Tang En and the shocking words of "Ice Pick Heart", her face was friendly and natural, not only was she not frightened, but her smile became brighter.
She is a psychiatrist and has heard too many sensational stories.
Are you afraid of such abrupt remarks?
Kate glanced at Dunn quickly, her eyes faint, filled with anger. Then he frowned, took out a business card from his bag, and handed it over.
Several other extras in the elevator, according to the script requirements, either had a blank expression or dared not speak.
However, they were all happy.
Tear!
Well, the performances of Dunn Walker and Cate Blanchett are so hilarious, so loving!
Dunn was slightly startled, this Kate is a bit powerful, isn't it?
The rhythm that was just grabbed, the other party didn't use lines, only the basic skills of eyes and facial expressions, and brought it back.
Is this too embarrassing?
Tang En hurriedly pushed the business card outward and said quickly, "No, no need, I'm a police detective, I can find you."
Kate didn't force it, she shrugged lightly, and took it back.
Only then did Tang En stretch out his hand and grab the business card. He came with the right to speak and rhythm, and he also got it together. He smiled, "I'm joking, I need this business card."
Police officers are different from police detectives, and this sentence is also a way to strike up a conversation, showing that they have a good enough status.
Cate Blanchett rolled her eyes and left without looking back, as if she hated Dunn's teasing.
Dunn looked down at the business card, and shouted at Kate, who had already left outside the elevator, "Madeleine, it's nice to meet you!"
"Crack! Perfect!"
Martin Scorsese uses a seldom used word.
Just now this scene, Dunn and Cate Blanchett, almost presented a textbook-like performance.
From Dunn's cautious approach at first, Kate's disgust; to Dunn's wit, Kate's curiosity; to Dunn's domineering blocking the elevator door, Kate's scheming to scare everyone; to the last Dunn's teasing, Kate's anger.
In just two minutes of play, a total of four changes were presented.
The four levels of performances are easy to perform and complete in one go.
Rao is a big director like Martin Scorsese, and he can't help but be excited.
"The Departed" starring Dunn and Cate Blanchett is definitely the right choice!
Dunn, in particular, was definitely an unexpected big surprise.
It is said that a role makes an actor, but in many cases, the strong acting skills of an actor can also add luster to the role.
"Martin, I think Kate's role can be emphasized." Dunn finished work, came over, and said quietly.
Martin Scorsese frowned, "What do you mean?"
Tang En said: "She has a fluctuating energy in her heart, I can feel it. Give her a chance, and she will win us an Oscar!"
"..."
"When she plays against me, don't worry. But when you play against Leon, don't be accommodating to that kid, we have to treat everyone fairly!"
Dunn said in a low voice.
He had seen Cate Blanchett's acting skills firsthand and knew that she was much better than Leonardo.
Playing against one another is like a game.
