Theorod and Hiss weren't embarrassed or not, but he could be sure he was too fucking embarrassed, especially as he watched Theorod and Hiss interact in various ways during the play. "He hasn't accompanied Theolod to film for a long time, and this kind of work is usually done by Bennett, but "Brokeback Mountain" is different, probably because of the growing jealousy that made him insist on coming to the set to "mark people".
But what can be done? The scene has to continue to be filmed, whether he is satisfied or not, in the end it is just that he is not comfortable with himself, which makes Nattle both helpless and frustrated.
Jack and Ennis' days on the mountain went by day by day. In the script, these daily routines are not described in great detail, and there is not much foreshadowing about the emotional line. So Theolod took the initiative to take on this kind of heavy responsibility, and he would add a bit of dramatic ambiguity to every interaction between Jack and Ennis, and gradually deepened.
Ang Lee has long heard about Theolod's acting "fetish", and he also thinks that the process of Jack and Ennis's falling in love should be appropriately increased, so he let it develop. This was a pain for Heath, because whenever Theolod deviated from the script, he would always have to pull his soul out of Ennis's state, and subconsciously think about how Ennis would respond to this situation.
It dawned on him that maybe this was the gap between him and Theorod. Theorod's performances, whether according to the script or free play, are always pleasing to the eye, but he is far from the point of deviating from the script, coupled with his strict and meticulous requirements for his own performance, so that whenever he needs to play freely, his performance will always be like a rusty gear with stagnation and hesitation. Even though these difficulties didn't obviously affect the film, Heath felt uncomfortable.
In fact, this just shows the strength of Hiss, he was not carried away by Theorod's acting skills, on the contrary, whenever Theorod dragged him, he would force himself to break free and think about how to deal with it. Hiss had a feeling that if he could do something as natural as Theorod did this time, instead of having to stop and think about how to act every time, his acting skills would be even better.
Heath wanted to ask Theolod for advice, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it. On the contrary, Theorod saw a problem that even Ang Lee didn't realize, probably because the acting genre was similar, and he was more sensitive to acting than anyone else, and he noticed the abnormality of his partner Hiss, so after filming another set of scenes, Theorod took the initiative to find Hiss.
"Ann doesn't seem to have any problem with the state of our game right now, he doesn't seem to like to express his opinion too often, what do you think, Heath, what are we going to do in the future?" said Theolod, cup of hot coffee in his hand. Although it's April, the temperature in the mountains is still a little chilly. Theorod did not directly provoke Hiss, after all, Hiss just looked a little uninhibited on the surface, but in fact his personality was quite sensitive, so Theorod chose the way to save the country with a curve.
"I think ......," Heath hesitated for a moment, "it's good to act like this." ”
"Really?" Theorod blinked, joking, "It's mutual, man, you're going to have to give Jack a break." ”
Frightened to death was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Actually...... I don't know, it's a strange feeling, on the one hand I'm Ennis, and on the other hand, I'm thinking about how Ennis should cope...... Of course, I don't mean that your efforts to brew the relationship between Jack and Ennis are bad, but it's actually handled very well, it's just ...... I'm a little unaccustomed to thinking out of the role in the process of acting. Theo, I really don't understand how you did it. ”
"Are you saying how the entry into the play of being a character and the exit of logical thinking coexist?" said Theolod, shrugging his shoulders, "Well, in fact, during the filming of The Phantom of the Opera, a friend asked me how to act, and I told him that my acting style was not suitable for him. Actually, it's not a question of suitability, it's just this method...... Some are dangerous. ”
"Because I've always been Jack, just like I was a phantom all along. ”
"That'...... Every time you get inspired to play freely, you don't think about the question, 'What should I do better if I were this character?'" Heath couldn't help frowning, he thought that Theorod's acting skills were so good not only because he was good at turning himself into a character, but also because he was good at grasping the relationship between the actor and the character and thinking about it.
"No, this kind of thinking is usually put on the basis of studying the role or the play, and I don't want to ruin my experience and sense when my own self as an actor suddenly jumps out while I am enjoying the performance. Theorod laughed, "Doesn't that sound a bit ......?"
"Crazy?" said Heath.
"Crazy? Actually, I would have said willful. But it's a bit crazy, because you have to find a way to balance the inside and outside of the play. In fact, it's good to have your own thinking when acting, because you can always control the direction of your acting skills in this way, but sometimes you will get out of the play if you think too much. ”
Theolod nodded approvingly at Hiss, and said, "So, it's important to learn how to think." Instead of thinking, 'What would I do better if I were in this role?' Think the way the character thinks, not the way the actor thinks. ”
Heath's eyes lit up suddenly, Theorod's words woke him up as if he was in a dream, he hugged him hard, thanked him several times before letting go of his hand, and muttered: "What will Ennis think? I'm Ennis, what will I do? You're so right, Theo!"
“…… That's why I say it's dangerous......" Theolod said helplessly, and the excited Heath couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Theorod waved his hand, "But I said before that you have to get your balance, you're not Ennis now, you're Heath Ledger, and Ann hasn't shouted 'action' yet." ”
"I know, it's okay, I'm just thinking about the character, thank you, Theo. ”
Theorod didn't speak, he looked at Heath's departing back, and suddenly wondered if he was right to tell him this. He stood there until there was another person behind him, and he didn't have to turn around to know who this person was, so he said softly: "I see myself in him, of course, in terms of acting, he is an experiential school, just like me, there is no doubt about that." I'm not lamenting what I'm missing......"
"What are you worried about?" asked Nattel.
“…… I wondered if everything I had just told him would hurt him, even though he could make his acting better. Theorod sighed.
"Hey, even if he goes crazy after that, that's his choice, it's none of your business. Natel patted Theolod on the head, "That guy looks like an acting genius, even if you don't say anything, one day he'll figure it all out on his own, you can't instinctively blame yourself for everything, didn't Herman tell you that?"
“…… I'll just say that......" Theolod was helpless, and turned his head, "Hey, pay attention to your hairstyle, you watch out for the stylist to whip your ass with a belt later." ”
"Then I'd rather be pumped by you. Natel suddenly bowed his head and whispered something in his ear while he was not paying attention, and then quickly got up and walked away. Before Theolod could react, the person who had been teasing him with some hint just now ran away so that his shadow could not be seen.
Damn, what kind of favor is this bear kid fighting for, doesn't he still understand that he only has him in his heart? Of course, Theolod knows that Natel, who has overturned the vinegar jar in the past few days, has been struggling with himself, and he can't help but smile helplessly.
Heath seems to have really understood Theorod's words, and this is most evident in the next scene. In this scene, Ennis undresses and washes his body, while Jack sits by the fire and prepares food. The camera will shoot from Jack's side to Ennis, with a few zooms, but Ennis's lens is always in the distance, while Jack's is so thin that he can see how many lashes there are.
Ennis took the kettle, walked to the left back of Jack, took off his clothes, and couldn't help but glance at Jack's side face before undressing, as if he was worried about him peeking, and as if he was just shy to nervousness, this small action is not in the script, but it is very reasonable and natural- After these few days of getting along and interacting, the relationship between Ennis and Jack has changed subtly, and at this time, Ennis will of course have unprecedented shyness and nervousness when taking a shower next to Jack, and he is even so nervous that he even took off his clothes several times before he completely took them off.
"What would Ennis do? Yes, I've already had a crush on Jack, and although I haven't found out yet, I'll care about his gaze, if he'll see my body, I'll be shy, I'll be nervous, I'll tilt my attention and even every hair on my body in Jack's direction......" That's all Heath was thinking, at the moment, he was Ennis.
Ang Lee didn't know what had just happened, but he noticed that Hiss's performance was much more spiritual than anything he had done before! The up-and-down curve of the cigarette on his lips had already revealed his restless heart, and he even reached out and picked up the cigarette and took several puffs.
Jack sat still and didn't move, but his long trembling eyelashes and the occasional rolling eyeball towards his left had betrayed him. Although he kept his head slightly down and lowered his eyes so that he couldn't see his eyes clearly, his eyelids told everyone behind the camera that he couldn't help but look in Ennis's direction several times, but quickly evacuated for fear of being discovered.
Jack felt that the left half of his body near Ennis was extremely hot, and the right half of his body near the fire was so cold that he broke out in a cold sweat. Gradually, Jack involuntarily raised the corners of his beautiful lips, and the smile on the corners of his mouth was discovered by Ennis, who was always paying attention to him, Ennis was shocked, his face was slightly red, and he accidentally tripped over the bucket, making a very obvious "clang" sound.
He immediately looked back at Jack like a frightened large dog, Jack didn't look at him, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was more obvious, and Ennis, who was very beautiful and very attractive, made Ennis more and more panicked, and he quickly turned his back and got dressed.
Jack added a stick of firewood to the campfire without saying a word, and there was tenderness in his blue eyes reflected by the firelight.
There are no lines in this scene, but both Heath and Theorod vividly interpret the youthfulness, nervousness, shyness and ambiguous atmosphere of the unfulfilled lovers, which makes Ang Lee look forward to the performance of the two tomorrow more and more-
Passion play is tomorrow. 166 Reading Network
