For the opening shot in the afterglow of this sunset, Roger. Albert is very appreciative, Kasowitz is a very talented director, he has fully demonstrated his plasticity in it, but even so, it is a big improvement for him, the opening few camera cuts are not very showy, the rhythm is melodious, and it calms the audience's mood very well, so that they can slowly disconnect from real life and prepare to be involved in the story. In Roger's words, this film is a work of confidence that has been carefully prepared and edited, not like many masterpieces, and it has already made people feel the crew's lack of confidence in filming from the beginning of the film.

Since this is an adaptation, and Roger read the original book on the plane to Los Angeles, the opening minutes are modest for him, and they don't arouse much interest or make him play—Noah is an old man whose wife has Alzheimer's disease and has lost her memory, and Noah visits her every day and reads the stories in his notebook to her. The film retouches some details in the original book, the elderly Elle looks elegant and kind, and there is no madness in the original book, which is a normal adaptation, which makes the story more dreamy and less realistic. But for Roger, this was somewhat disappointing, and at his age, he already understood that beauty was not all about love, and of course, he also understood the director's painstaking efforts: the sluggishness in the old Ellie's expression was enough to explain her illness. For the sake of the overall atmosphere of the film, this adjustment is necessary.

The performances of the two veteran actors are appropriate, and the actor of the elderly Noah has been nominated for an Oscar...... Roger thought nonchalantly, his thoughts interrupted abruptly as the camera turned, and he couldn't even remember the names of the actors—time had turned to the past, and the actors in the youth group were about to appear.

With Kevin playing Finn. Connolly's few lines of dialogue (Roger thinks his highest achievement on the big screen is here, so he doesn't pay much attention to Kevin, but ignores his performance), young Noah appeared in front of the audience, he is tall, although he is wearing the typical ragged clothes of the blue-collar class, but his mischievous expression and outstanding appearance still make many viewers have a feeling of brightness, even Roger nodded appreciatively, this young man is very in line with his aesthetics.

Finn and Noah talked and laughed all the way to the bumper car venue, Finn and his girlfriend Sarah greeted each other warmly, Noah looked at the tourists in the bumper car boredly, suddenly, his expression changed a lot, not only straightened up, but also changed his demeanor from casual to interested, the camera naturally focused on the girl next to Sarah, obviously telling the audience that Noah's eyes fell on her.

It's a carefree girl, Jennifer. Jefferson's young Ellie sparkles in the light, and if anyone fits Roger's vision of the heroine Ellie, it must be him. Although he had often seen her on gossip boards and news sites over the past year, a year later, he saw Jennifer. When Jefferson appeared on the big screen, he still had a strong sense of freshness, as if the excitement of the face had not completely subsided.

"Or should it be said that she is completely like two people in and out of the play." As an old man, Roger can already look at Jennifer's beauty very detachedly, he touched his chin thoughtfully, and once again affirmed his little discovery of Jennifer, "It is this characteristic that makes her unique and potential, but it is also very puzzling...... How the hell did she do it. ”

At such an age, he can't still have the same impulse to chase stars as a little girl, what prompted Roger to come to the premiere was his curiosity, and when watching movies, musicals, and harmony, he had already discovered a major feature of Jennifer's performance - her performance did not have any personal qualities at all, and every character seemed to be reborn, except for this face, there was no similarity.

This is not to say that the rest of the actors are constantly repeating themselves, Roger has also admired the performances of countless outstanding actors, such as the leader of the experiential school, Robert. Di Niro, he is comfortable switching between two very different images of a taxi driver and the godfather of the mafia, but even he has his own acting habits. To use an analogy, Robert. Di Niro may always raise an eyebrow when he is emotional, and when he is a taxi driver, it means that a confused male is angry for some reason, but when he is a young mafia, this eyebrow indicates that he has a desire to kill. Looked.

A performance detail can convey different emotions, which is an acting skill that almost all skilled actors have. But Jennifer's performance does not follow this rule, Roger gradually affirmed the existence of this problem in the process of rewatching and rewatching, and the details of the expressions of the two characters are almost not repeated, that is, when Canita is excited, she may twitch the corners of her mouth, while Elizabeth frowns when she is excited, and the two characters are actually different from their habitual movements.

And what about the young Ellie now? She laughed carefree in the bumper cars, her expression was vivid and exaggerated, and it seemed to be a bit of the usual pretentiousness of a young lady, and when she was hit, her expression was a little incredible, as if to say, 'How dare you hit me?' But when she went to hit someone else, Elle drove into it as if nothing had happened, and stretched out her hand to point at the other party, laughing at him for being hit and staggering.

There are not many descriptions of Elle's personal temperament in the original book, and it is also a passing mention of her and Noah's first meeting, the focus of the book is still focused on the entanglement and struggle when the two reunited in fourteen years, this pure summer love only exists as a background story, so the seventeen-year-old Elle does not have a prerequisite image in Roger's heart, Jennifer has erected the character of young Elle through a performance of less than a minute, and she is a little spoiled and pampered, 'I can only tease you, You can't come and tease me', but it's beautiful, a very cute rich lady. As for which detail shows that she is rich, in fact, it is impossible to say, there are some things unique to a rich lady in her expression, but it is difficult to describe it specifically.

The temperament of this character is very different from Elizabeth's, Elizabeth's character is rebellious and wild, but on the surface she is more ladylike than anyone else, while Ellie is young and immature, with an innocent and carefree demeanor. Roger found it difficult to see how Jennifer dealt with the two characters' very different temperaments, and Elle had not had any of the same expressions as Elizabeth, Huanita, and Kitty until now, and if you even counted the movements, then Elle had never had the same movements as Lockhee. Even if they are all simple walks, the gaits of these four characters are completely different, Lockhee's gait is always a little frivolous, Huanita's ass is twisted very much, but it is not vulgar, but swaying, Elizabeth's back is straight, aristocratic style, and Ellie walks with a bit of a jumping feeling of bouncing up on her toes. These gaits are very suitable for the character identity, and Jennifer does it very naturally, as if she is acting in her true colors, as if she has always been like this, but she was lucky to find a role that suits her.

This is certainly not true, Roger has been in contact with Jennifer. Jefferson, that is a very quiet and reserved girl, every move is elegant and calm, she has no resemblance to these four characters. This can only be the result of acting.

How old is she? 22？ 23？ Now that she has such a natural acting skill, what will she be like when she is 33 years old? Roger asked himself that he now had more than just admiration for Jennifer, but also a deep curiosity - and most importantly, how exactly did she do it? Why does she have so many details of her gait and expression? These require a lot of observation and imitation to do the basics! How can an actress with a high school degree and no professional training have such a background? She was even a restaurant hostess when she was 20 years old!

Could it be that she is a unique genius in the history of acting? These are God's birth gifts to her?

"Or does she possess voodoo witchcraft?" A ridiculous thought popped into his mind, "Can she bring the character's soul to her body?" ”

Of course, no normal person would take this thought seriously, and Roger soon realized that he had lost his mind, and he laughed silently to himself and refocused on the plot. - No way, for a bad old man like him, the theme of female romance films really doesn't appeal to him.

When Elle attracts Noah's attention, the young and handsome Noah also attracts Elle's attention, and the director uses a few shots to quickly explain Elle's movements of looking at the edge of the field several times along the way out of the bumper car field, and follows her line of sight all the way - Noah takes a few steps closer to such a group of young people who are looking for fun.

"Do you want to go dancing with?" He didn't stop until he was very close to Ellie, and although Ellie frowned, showing a frightened and repulsed expression, her eyes were swirling, and there was a contrived expression - it was obvious that she was also interested in Noah, and it was only out of the girl's reserve that she did not hesitate to pursue him.

"No?"

"Why not?" Noah looked directly at Ellie, he lowered his voice, and his expression and eyes clearly revealed his interest in Ellie, but it was not vulgar. Desire, coveting, but, but, rather......

Jon didn't know how to describe it, she was a little short of words, and even now she didn't want to think about it, she was completely captivated by the sparkling feeling between Noah and Ellie. Although Jennifer's boyfriend Josh in reality is also tall and handsome, and the two are also in love because of the play, and they have also acted as couples, but compared with the current interaction between Noah and Ellie, even the sparks between this real couple are a little worse, she feels that her heart is like a big hand turned into a love emotion clasped together, looking at Ryan's eyes slightly squinted, with a clear smile in his eyes, this hand seems to be clenched tighter, she is a little breathless.

"Because I don't want to." A smile flashed in Ellie's eyes, and although it was just a fleeting expression, the audience could see that this girl was talking the opposite, maybe she was giving Noah a whammy.

Although she sternly refused, as if she didn't leave any room for Noah's illusions, Ellie's expression was not like this, she stared at Noah with some challenge, and the eyes of the two met together, as if bursting into a spark, and locked each other at once. Ellie couldn't help but show a look of attraction, and Noah unknowingly, took another step forward, and Ellie already had to work hard to raise her head to meet him.

It's not going to be a kiss, is it? Jon was about to scream, she could only squeeze Harry's palm to express her excitement, and Harry, who was with her to see the premiere, exhaled innocently - although he also liked Jennifer and thought Ryan was handsome, as a man, he was certainly not as easily attracted and excited by the interaction between the two as Jon.

"Noah." The flower messenger came out to save the scene, and Elle came back to her senses, she took a step back, pursed her lips a little embarrassedly, and regained the reserve and coldness of a young girl, and did not agree to Noah, but accepted the invitation of her follower to ride the Ferris wheel. - As if to anger him, she gave Noah a defiant look before leaving.

Although the initial battle was frustrated, Noah was not discouraged, but watched them away with bright eyes, and Elle couldn't help but glance back at him after taking a few steps. From the way she talked to Sarah about Noah, the way she ate the marshmallows, and even her slightly flushed cheeks, the audience could tell that she was excited and even a little complacent. - Although she held her husband's hand intimately, her heart was no longer on her boyfriend.

This pure mutual attraction, the unreasonable 'I noticed you in the sea of people, you noticed me in the sea of people', can it be anything else? This is true love and fate! The same is that many female audiences who came to the cinema to watch the premiere remembered their own experience - the student party rushed to midnight, the housewives rushed to the afternoon session on weekdays, and the white-collar workers took the weekend to see, these consumption habits and hobbies are completely different female groups, if you must find a commonality, that is, they have a heart-pounding feeling in a special period of their lives, maybe they and each other are not both Yushu Linfeng, golden boy and jade girl, but that 'this moment is special because of you',' The moment I met you, I started to feel different, but not much different.

Even though this is a film set in the 60s, the moving is transcendent and immortal, and the carnival is a cultural event that has continued to the present, in such a life-like scene, the obstacles caused by the difference in age are skillfully transformed into literary and artistic nostalgia, and people realize that even a few decades ago, in that era that was unfamiliar to most audiences, men and women still met and loved each other as in modern times. This mutual attraction is not something that can be separated by differences in age and family background.

Although the pace of the narration is not slow, the movement of the camera does not make the audience feel long and boring, but has a leisurely and slow beauty, most of the female audience members have completely entered the play after witnessing the current of the two, and the male audience who accompanied them also showed a knowing smile when Noah jumped on the Ferris wheel and asked Elle for a dance--he was a good young man-although they were not as engaged as the female audience, but they were not distracted. After all, the pursuit of love is a common trait of human beings, and most male audiences may not take the initiative to watch a love movie, but they are not averse to this type of film, but the point of moving is relatively high, and it is more difficult to enter the play.

This is not a very complicated story, nor is there any profundity or ugliness of human nature, but boys and girls are instinctively attracted to each other and get closer and closer. Elle is a bold girl, although she is very young, but she has always used explicit or implicit stimulation and encouragement to Noah, and concealed her heart with some confrontational words and actions, while Noah, he is completely pious and sincere, anyone can feel his almost adoring love for Elle, they can understand each other so naturally, Elle's love of painting, Noah's love of poetry, they are lonely before they meet each other, but they find soulmates between each other so naturally. The current between the two is so obvious and sincere that even many viewers don't believe that this is acting, and they all think from the bottom of their hearts - or hope, that Noah and Elle are also a happy couple in love in reality, just like in the film.

However, the relationship between the two is hidden from the beginning, although the director handled it lightly, but for the audience who already sympathizes with and supports the lovers from the heart, these flaws are so glaring, Ellie's family education is very strict, her parents are not enlightened, and Noah's family is very poor, he can only work as a lumberjack to make ends meet, it is conceivable that although they are seriously in love, reality will separate them sooner or later.

However, even with such concerns, when the audience saw the two trying to have the most intimate contact for the first time in the abandoned house, they couldn't help but be attracted to this calm and beautiful love. Many sentimental female viewers even burst into tears: these are not tears of sadness, but instinctive, moving tears, there are indeed such beautiful feelings in the world, and although they are not as young and beautiful as Elle and Noah in the movie, they may still have such treasures, isn't it worth their tears?

The audience is fully engaged in the plot, for them, Ryan is Noah, Jennifer is Ellie, they don't know how good or bad the acting is, it's all so natural, as if they are acting in their true colors - but for film critics, in addition to being moved by the audience, they also have a professional vision based on their own work, which is like a gourmet, even if they eat a burger, they will instinctively analyze the freshness of the beef patty and the heat of the bread.

"This is a piece of jade, a rising star that is about to soar into the sky...... "Kenneth. Turan had a hard time suppressing his surprise - but he wasn't talking about the already famous Jennifer. Jefferson, but the newly emerging Ryan. Gosling, "His acting skills are even better than Josh. Blanche has also gone to the next level, if he were to be replaced by Josh, he should be suppressed by his girlfriend, but Ryan has managed to maintain his own rhythm. Although it is obvious that Jennifer's acting skills have the upper hand, at least he has not failed. ”

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, Kenneth sees his excellent micro-expression in the young Noah, Noah is not a person with seven emotions, but he is not stupid either, when they are talking about the future, a few changes in their eyes, maybe a glance at Elle's luxury car, maybe a look at the sky...... These all show that Noah is well aware of their problems, and this appropriate character creation reveals the talent of the actor himself. Gosling happens to have such a standout appearance and a charming melancholy temperament, and this small-budget film is a new star that should be in the spotlight.

He will come to the premiere, and like Roger, he wants to see Jennifer, and frankly, Kenneth is not very optimistic about this movie beforehand, he does not have strong confidence in Jennifer like Roger, although he also affirms Jennifer's talent, but because she is good at portraying wild, dangerous, and even a bit of dark characters, it is difficult for him to imagine that Jennifer can transform into a pure and lovely girl. In addition, although it is aimed at young couples, the whole story is simple and old-fashioned, and it is based on the old man's storytelling as a clue throughout the whole text, and today's young people are generally indifferent to history, and it is difficult to imagine how many female audiences and couples such a film can attract. If you don't pay attention to it, you are likely to become the seed of the Golden Sour Plum Award with flaws in the prop set, the reluctant performance of the actors, and the unattractive plot.

However, the set is excellent, although there are still clues to the cost saving in many details, such as some shots Kenneth thinks that if they have money, they can shoot better, but the flaws are not hidden, and the picture composition is still very beautiful and aesthetic. Although the plot is simple, it touches the soft corners of people's hearts, the actor Ryan's performance is remarkable, and Jennifer ......

Kenneth was slower than Roger, but he finally realized what was amazing about Jennifer: if it was the first performance of an unknown newcomer, he wouldn't have had much surprise other than shouting about her promise, but it was because he was already relatively familiar with Jennifer that his performance this time made him incredulous.

When she plays a female criminal, she looks like a female criminal, when she plays a rebellious lady, she looks like a lively eldest lady, and when she plays such a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love...... She's completely a girl who is just starting to fall in love, you can't tell where she plays well, this Elle doesn't have an unforgettable style and aura, except for a little temper, she is a very soft, very ordinary character, she didn't resist to the end, and even restarted the relationship after breaking up with Noah, but she is Elle, she looks like a little girl in the 60s, a little tempered, influenced by the times, some rebellious energy regardless of it, but frightened by the family and a little weak - if this is a newcomer performance, There is no doubt that Kenneth will wait until her second film to judge whether she has real acting skills, but he has already watched several of Jennifer's works, Kenneth can't help but admit to himself that he may have encountered a new genre of acting, or an unprecedented peak representative of the methodology, even if he takes 10,000 steps back and is not so anxious to draw conclusions, Jennifer's acting skills are already very rare among her peers, and can even be said to be unique, she can not only release and receive, And it's really able to switch between several styles freely, without any traces of transformation......

Suddenly, he's more interested in what he has just recently announced as a group shoot—this time, it's Meryl who is playing against Jennifer. Streep, this acting is uncontroversial, and he is also an old actor who plays something like something, Jennifer has never played with a real acting party (Kenneth thinks Johnny is a personality actor, and his rivalry is also very short), he is looking forward to what Jennifer will do in front of Meryl.

The author has something to say: Note: The original work is indeed based on the entanglement of the three people after the reunion as the main contradiction, I think it's not badly written, you can take a look, the adaptation of the film is still full, and it feels like an improvement ...... for the original work-

Take a deep breath, tomorrow will be November......
