"Cooper. Donald called out to Cooper, who was about to leave, which caused Cooper to raise his gaze, and then saw Donald gesture to Murphy.

Turning his head, Cooper noticed Murphy's loneliness: there was a hint of frustration and loss in her expression, and her words had not been able to convince her brother, nor her father, and no one wanted to believe her.

With a gentle exhale, Cooper also understood what Donald meant, two children who lack their mother's care need more care and support, and he often forgets this, immerses himself in his work, hoping to forget the sadness and bitterness, and throws all the work of his parents to his father-in-law. He needed to stop once in a while.

Standing in place, Cooper lowered his eyes, hiding the look between his eyes and eyebrows, his footsteps paused slightly, and the sighs and struggles faintly revealed were fleeting, but they seemed meaningful, but then, Cooper raised his eyes again, put the coffee cup on the table, pulled out the chair, and sat down facing Murphy, keeping his eyes parallel, so that the two could have a conversation on an equal footing.

"If you want to talk about science, all right, Murphy. Cooper stared at Murphy intently and devotedly, his eyes not evading, maintaining his sincerity and straightforwardness, "It's not enough for you to just tell me that you're afraid of ghosts. No, you have to keep digging deeper. Record all the facts that happened, analyze them, understand why and how it happened, and then draw conclusions. ”

After a pause, Cooper did not continue to speak, but looked at Murphy, the smile in his eyes gently raised, and he was silent for a second.

In just a second, the exchange between father and daughter warmed up, and then Cooper continued, "Deal?"

The smile on the corner of Murphy's mouth bloomed, and he nodded heavily, "Deal!"

The confident demeanor made Cooper a little stunned, as if he saw himself in his childhood, and then the curvature of Cooper's mouth also rose, gently bowed his head, lowered his eyes, and after standing up again, he picked up the bath towel on Murphy's shoulder, wiped the little guy's wet hair, didn't say anything, grabbed his coffee cup, and then turned to leave.

"Go to school today. Cooper didn't stay in the room, but walked straight outside.

"Wait. Donald's steady, muddy voice rang out, but Cooper's footsteps didn't stop, only slowed slightly, still tasting his coffee, just tilting his head slightly, signaling that he was listening, "There's a parent-teacher conference today." ”

Without waiting for Cooper to speak, Donald added, "It's a 'parent's meeting,' not a 'parent's meeting.'" ”

Cooper's footsteps finally stopped, still holding his coffee cup in his left hand, standing quietly in place, only a faint side face, the sun spilling through the open door, outlining the side line of his face, a little scruffy beard seemed to be able to catch a touch of bitterness and sadness, but it was fleeting, and it disappeared in the dazzling light.

"Cards!"

Christopher's voice rang out in the room, interrupting the filming of the scene.

The crisp and loud voice brought everyone back to their senses, but the aftertaste was still slowly blurred on the tip of the tongue, and only then did I gradually feel the lightness of the scene just now.

Jessica also came back to her senses, but she still didn't rush to get rid of her emotions, but savored it.

Although Lan Li constantly subtracts during the performance, there are almost no traces of the performance, and the eyes and lines that come at his fingertips are not too much carved and polished, and the whole scene is smooth and completed in one go, this skill alone is enough to applaud, but the really amazing part is Lan Li's two pauses.

The first time was when Donald signaled to Cooper that he needed to talk to Murphy.

The second time was when Donald brought up the matter of parent-teacher conferences.

The reasons for the pauses are similar, with Donald reminding Cooper that he needs to shoulder his responsibilities as a father, and although he is the grandfather of the children, he cannot replace Cooper's role after all, especially in the absence of a mother's love.

Cooper's two pauses have different meanings.

The previous time was a sigh, hiding guilt, not that he refused to fulfill his fatherly responsibilities, but that he was immersed in his own pain, often neglecting his two children in this way, in fact, he loved them more deeply than anyone else. So, when Cooper sat down in front of Murphy, he didn't dodge, but looked directly into Murphy's eyes and patiently explained that it was not only love, but also respect.

The latter was a struggle, and painful memories that had been deeply buried were once again awakened in my mind. Once upon a time, the child's mother was responsible for all these things, but now he has to shoulder all the responsibilities alone. He couldn't tell whether he was devoting himself to his work to forget the pain, or to forget the fact that his wife had died because of the presence of his children.

In the script of "Interstellar", the Nolan brothers almost consciously ignore the existence of Cooper's wife, but Lan Li and Jessica have an in-depth conversation about this issue

Cooper's wife died in the last days.

In fact, not only Cooper's wife, but later when Tom became an adult, his two children also died in the same way in the last days. According to the setting of the story, the sandstorms on the earth in the apocalyptic times are getting worse and worse, not only crops cannot survive, but even breathing has become extremely difficult, so NASA needs to go to the universe to find a space suitable for human life, and Cooper's wife and Tom's children have died because of this.

At the beginning of the story, at the very beginning of the scene, Cooper is reading the surveillance information on his computer screen, in fact, he has been watching the development of the pattern catastrophe and trying to find a way to save the planet. He didn't want to save humanity, but to redeem the pain of losing his wife and save his two children.

Cooper threw himself into his work almost without sleep or food, trying to forget the pain in this way, and trying to find a glimmer of life in this way. Unknowingly, he is drifting away from his two children, especially Tom during the rebellious period, and he has even forgotten how to communicate.

When Donald's phrase "a parent who is not a parent" hits Cooper hard, he is confused and dazed. It's not as simple as sadness or bitterness, but a kind of lost loneliness. What the hell should he do? What else could he do?

It's a coincidence!

This is Jessica's intuitive experience of Lan Li's performance, without the slightest ingenuity and deliberateness, just two foot pauses, without any superfluous expressions and movements, but skillfully and seamlessly connected with the plot, the emotional points revealed in the light breeze are up to the end, but they are strong enough and deep enough, causing layers of ripples, which can inadvertently bring a completely different viewing experience.

Not all outward performances are wonderful, or they can be bloody yelling, not all restrained performances are simple and relaxed, or they can be turbulent and turbulent in the dark tide. There is no high or low performance in itself, but the actors and acting skills can indeed see the good and the bad.

Of course, all of this content is self-realized by the audience. If you watch the movie seriously, now these details are foreshadowing, and as the story unfolds later, it will gradually evolve into a stormy mood, magnifying the core of the whole movie to the extreme, but if you just treat the movie as popcorn, ignore it and ignore it, but it has no impact.

Jessica repeatedly read and understood the script, and her feelings became more direct and profound.

Comparing the two works of "Gravity" and "Interstellar", Jessica can immediately understand what is called addition and what is called subtraction, and the difference between eyes, demeanor and details switches the aura and momentum of the whole performance, presenting two different ways of expression.

If you talk about profundity and height, "gravity" is definitely slightly better, and the excavation and interpretation of "Interstellar" are simpler, but in terms of skill and difficulty, the two are comparable, especially the skillfulness and freedom revealed by Lan Li in the performance process makes the performance of "Interstellar" natural.

Egot is just a name after all, shouting and shouting, everyone seems to be accustomed to it, and they don't feel the difficulty and profundity in it at all, but now, Jessica really feels the excellence of Lan Li, and words are difficult to describe the excellence, which makes Jessica's blood boil a little, and she can't wait to get into the performance.

When her eyes fell on Timothy and McKenzie, Jessica showed a hint of envy: not that they could play against Lan Li, she would not be so unproductive, but that they could encounter such a rare opportunity when they were teenagers, and then it was up to them to see how much they could learn from Lan Li.

"Lan Li ......" Christopher's voice rang out, he stood there and thought for a moment, and then asked, "If you change the angle, what would the effect be? I mean, just a side face, revealing too little emotion, you turn around and face the camera, will the emotion be more direct?"

If you are facing the camera head-on, it will not only undermine the integrity of the picture, but also make the performance too rough and direct, and more importantly, it will not fit the tone of the core of Christopher's entire film.

Jessica was a little stunned, because Christopher's proposal was a bad idea, and it was really not his forte for the guidance of acting skills, but unexpectedly, Lan Li nodded neatly and gave an affirmative answer, "No problem, is it just the last shot?"

"Yes, the last shot, let's do it all over again. Christopher had a shallow smile on his face.
