"Daniel must have been stimulated by Jennifer," Derek tugged at his beard thoughtfully as Roger was short of breath with excitement, and the slight pain made his thinking clearer, "Needless to say, he gave a better performance than 'Blood is Coming', and dealing with this kind of forbearance is the experiential specialty......"

If in the processing of some iconic clips, the expressionists' just right words and deeds will leave a deep impression on the audience's hearts, then the experiential school has a unique advantage in dealing with the inner drama of the characters and bringing the audience into the psychology of the people in the play. Just fall in love with WwW. LＷＸＳ５２０。 COM in "Michael. In Clayton", Daniel gave full play to his talent, and even appeared in a silhouette, before the focus of the camera focused on him, he already exuded a unique gloomy temperament: on the surface, this is a handsome uncle with a good demeanor, wearing an expensive and close-fitting hand-cut suit, which is a little out of place with the dirty and cramped environment around him, and the corners of his mouth seem to have a habitual smile, but in his kind expression, Michael naturally gives people ' The feeling of being preoccupied and soulless', this kind of information is accurately transmitted to the hearts of the audience, without the slightest help from camera scheduling, it is completely based on Daniel's amazing acting skills, if in Karen's scene just now, Karen collapsed very 'put', then Michael here collapsed very ' You can see his frustration from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and have a strong interest in the cause of his frustration, but you can understand Michael's superficial indifference, for his age and profession, Michael must be very urban.

"I've seen you." Someone at the table excitedly accosted Michael, "We've played together a few times - you don't recognize me, do you?" I've lost a lot of weight since then. ”

A short conversation about Michael's background in running a restaurant. The acting skills of the supporting roles are also wonderful enough, in just a few sentences, the characteristics of which pot is not opened and which pot are raised, and the characteristics of sweeping others with interest are clearly highlighted, and Michael's brief answer, as well as the unhappiness accumulated in the subtleties of his expression, all make people feel that he is now unwilling. Clayton is also in a midlife crisis, which is evident to film critics, but in such a few sentences of dialogue, Michael's knot and psychological state are so richly expressed, Daniel's performance is obviously very vigorous.

"This time will it be "Blood Coming" to get Ottie, or "Michael. Clayton got? A flash of thought in Derek's heart: in "Blood is Coming", Daniel is performing the final alienation of a normal person, but "Michael. In Clayton", his Michael brought the sadness of a small person, which was a breakthrough for him, before this role, Daniel seemed to rarely play such a role close to life, and his character also had a talent halo at the very least, or a tycoon, or a legend. The only time he played an ordinary person was in his idol Arthur. Miller's adaptation, and that movie can't be said to be a very successful thing. From this point of view, Daniel has undoubtedly broken through himself, his Michael has more power to move people's hearts, and more importantly, Derek can feel that Daniel is in better shape when he plays Michael, and the intangible and qualitative charm is more exciting, and his performance state seems to have made a breakthrough under the stimulation of Jennifer, climbed up, and reached a new peak.

"Although the plot doesn't seem to be new, it's hard to get excited, but the timeless performances of these two people have enough room for the audience to savor carefully, and now I just hope that the film can be worthy of these two actors......" he began to pull his beard again, "how will the director cut into the lives of these two people?" ”

For film critics who have read countless films, they have just seen the beginning, and they have understood the director's intention: "Michael. The main theme of "Clayton" makes it clear in the opening monologue that whether it is Karen's mental breakdown or Michael's own midlife crisis, in fact, it is just a trick, in essence, this film is about the process of people being confused, painful, extremely depressed, and even dehumanizing in the main body of the company. And both U/North and the law firm are, to some extent, emblematic of this modern corporate system. Michael and Karen will both feel pain in this kind of torture, and the choices they face should also have a fatalistic contrast, and it is likely that in the high chao at the end of the film, the different choices of the two will lead to completely different results, but whether it is a tragedy or a happy ending, Michael's struggle (because he is the male protagonist, it is speculated that he is the one who chooses the positive option) will succeed or fail, this they cannot speculate.

After watching too many movies, this kind of routine can be guessed, in fact, if there is no routine, this movie must be a failure, after all, movies are the art of routines, and most movies are following several routines to move forward. Film critics will not be disgusted or tired of the film itself because they guessed the general plot trend, they pay more attention to whether the movie has enough foreshadowing and questions in the process of starting and ending, whether the technical actions of the crew and actors are in place, and whether they can always attract their attention. At least at the beginning, "Michael. Clayton does a good job, after a short shot of Karen, the story returns to Michael's point of view, Michael receives a phone call, leaves the casino, goes to the home of a large client of the firm to consult about the car accident he just had, and has a conflict with the client, stops the car on the way home, and treks up the hill to enjoy the scenery, during which his car suddenly blows itself up - this plot explains Michael's professional background: a lawyer who does dirty work for the firm, deals with the client's dirty **, and so far his job is not very good. And there is a rather beautiful long shot, creating a scene where Michael is deeply touched, he stops the car and goes up the mountain to pursue this beautiful scenery The flower surface is shot with a sense of magic, and the lighting is against the low tone of the whole film, making it difficult to understand his motives, and even difficult to understand whether this paragraph is Michael's hallucination or reality, which also leaves a foreshadowing for the later text, and the scene of the vehicle blowing up clearly conveys the message: after his friend, Michael seems to be included in the scope of the extermination, and, if there is no accident, Both of these people should have been killed by Karen.

Whether it is the contempt, helplessness and exhaustion hidden when negotiating with customers, or the tired and careless expression when returning home in the early morning, and the expression of being deeply touched and dreamlike when seeing the beautiful scenery of the mountains in the early morning, as if they have been enlightened and redeemed...... Daniel is undoubtedly in good shape, this scene is not driven by the plot like a commercial movie, the plot itself can be said to have no tension, it all depends on Daniel's performance, and the critics did not feel tired of the play at all, but were completely brought into the play by Daniel's performance, and felt the rich charm of Michael's inner world.

"It looks like Jennifer really got him into full swing." Derek smiled pleasantly, "What about Jennifer?" The opening part of the film is not her flash in the pan. But then again, this girl's acting techniques are too fanciful, and unlike Daniel's lineage, she seems to be more casual and doesn't have her own system......"

Roger is not the only one who sees Jennifer's acting style as unstable, not many people would have noticed this when Jenny was not so famous, but now, she has achieved worldwide success, and has ushered in world-class skepticism and attention, and there are many articles about her acting skills published on online blogs and even newspaper columns - such as Daniel. Dai Lewis's acting skills, from growth to maturity, there is a context to follow, how to find a new direction, how to exercise step by step, however, Jennifer's performance seems to be arbitrary, thinking of one play is another, her performances are all genius level when you take it out, what is acting like, but once you start to analyze acting skills, it is difficult for anyone to find a direction, because the similarities are almost negligible - her character has very few personal characteristics, it can be said that there is no trace of Jennifer's own brand, This is a lot of the time when a person's acting skills are not fully mature.

"I don't want to say that after she enters the mature period, her acting skills will be more shocking than now......" A ridiculous idea came to Derek's mind, he shook his head with a smile, did not let himself think about it anymore, but refocused on the plot, and inertly analyzed the director's intentions in this shot and that shot.

The flashback at the beginning is high. After the tide, the plot returns to the beginning of the story, Michael goes to his ex-wife's house to pick up his children, goes to a restaurant to deal with the auction, learns that his finances are tight, and the law firm he works for is about to face a merger, people are talking about the profits brought by the U/North case, and Arthur, a senior lawyer who is far away in Wisconsin, has a nervous breakdown a few years ago, the intrigue of the law firm has shown some clues, and the female lawyer and her colleagues are ill-intentioned to arrange bad words about Michael and Arthur, But casually in front of Michael to inquire about the law firm's merger, Michael is busy dealing with the councillor and his dancers......

When Michael was busy with daily affairs, Karen was also approaching the peak of her life, the director used two contrasting techniques, filming Karen's rehearsal process before the promotion interview, in this contrasting detail, he continued to subdivide the shot for comparison, when Karen was in his room, she was floating around like a ghost, the iron-gray sky made her skin pale and old, which was in stark contrast to the actor's usual glamorous image, and even at this moment, the audience completely forgot the actor's daily life, Instead, she was immersed in Karen's despair, which contrasted with Michael's restrained expression of her despair, Karen's despair was like a tide, surging forward, eroding the boundaries of her daily life. Wandering around, dressing and rehearsing her lines, she is like a patient suffering from some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, always hesitating on words that have similar meanings and are completely indistinguishable from outsiders, constantly changing her words and denying her own ideas. Both she and Michael are oppressed by their jobs...... So far, the director has not used the externalized clues of lines and props to express his intentions, but the actors' excellent performances and straightforward narratives, seemingly ordinary background explanations, have already allowed the audience to imagine the many hidden contradictions in their lives, and they have recognized, identified and understood these two painful protagonists from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's ......"

Alan. Morrison was speechless, he felt a strong sense of suffocation, and, like watching Jennifer from the bottom of the stage. Jefferson's Lockhee-like sense of absurdity: just as a talented actor like Lockhee can't be born without warning, it's impossible for a talented actress to suddenly completely change her acting style and contribute such a mature Karen. Claude! This...... This simply doesn't make sense!

It's not that he denies the possibility of genius, it's just that the thickness of Karen's character, the truth of the emotions she expresses, and the shock of the character itself completely make Alan breathless, but behind this shock, reason is still asking the question loudly: How is this possible? The performance must come from the accumulation and refinement of reality, Jennifer is now expressing an emotion that completely belongs to middle-aged people, or completely belongs to the experienced crowd, as an actor at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, as a successful person who won two Oscars at the age of 25, how could she deeply feel this emotion? This simply doesn't make sense!

But, reasonable or not, Jennifer's performance is here, her Karen is so bloody to reveal how fragile the hearts of successful people in the usual sense of society often are, how scarred and true faces are hidden behind the glossy masks, she shows the damage to their own humanity after the executives give anti-human orders in those 'do no evil' multinational companies - this is really weird, according to her education, she should not have the knowledge of this area, the things that multinational companies do, Something that will make the general public tremble: exporting arms to war, 'hiring' politicians to run for president in order to obtain oil, and then using political power to grab personal gains, manipulating the political situation of small countries in order to obtain financial profits, and supporting sweatshops while claiming to support environmental protection in order to create an image...... The opening monologue and the subject matter chosen by the film have certain requirements for the knowledge and experience of the moviegoer. Clayton" will not be touched, and with Jennifer's age and education, she should not be touched by this subject, let alone have no interest in understanding it, how can she-

Compared with the performance clips of unbridled despair in private, Karen's performance in the interview is just as remarkable: skillful officialdom, evasive of questions, disguised her distraction, but despite this, when the secretary came to report the urgency, her hand under the table clenched into a fist, and her nails pierced into her palms, bringing blood drops...... Karen was terribly frightened of her loss and pathologically focused on her promotion, but the sudden problems with the U/North herbicide lawsuit put her promotion in jeopardy.

The U/North herbicide lawsuit began six years ago when the then head of the legal department chose Kenna, Bach & Radine as their agent. Edens suddenly had a manic attack and came naked in a public parking lot. Ben even tried to attack the police who arrested him, which cast a shadow on the whole case - and the director at the time, now the new CEO of the group, is also Karen's mentor and Bole Dan. Jeffrey, who admired each other with her a moment ago, looked like a teacher-student relationship, but now he put the responsibility of this case on Karen without blinking, and was angry with her, which meant that Karen would carry this black cauldron.

Faced with workplace injustice, Karen has no choice, she comes to Wisconsin under pressure, and at the same time, in order to wipe Arthur's ass, the firm also sends Michael, and the first time the two meet in a café, they are sparks - this is not to say that there is any sex between them. Attractive, but two equally desperate people tormenting each other, Karen poured her pressure out on Michael, who also felt her pressure and unceremoniously hit back.

Under the usual dialogue, these two wonderful characters are silently confronting each other through eyes and body language, Karen's condescension and hidden contempt infuriate Michael, and the audience can guess from her previous expressions and movements why Karen despises him so much: Michael has been working in the firm for 17 years, but he has not even been mixed with junior partners, and according to the rules of the world, there is no doubt that he is a failure.

And for Michael, Karen's contempt is completely visible to him, and the director uses a few close-ups and a few darkening of Daniel's deep eyes to point out this information, so that the audience understands - Karen's contempt is another blow to Michael, who has become accustomed to this life full of frustrations and failures, but still does not like to admit that he is a failure.

Arthur carried a document that could turn the lawsuit around, disappeared in the crowd, Karen used illegal means to get his briefcase, found a copy of the document, she realized that this document can prove that u/notrh knew about the carcinogenicity of herbicides, but because of its best-selling and chose to bury the research results deeply, and once Arthur released this document, the lawsuit will definitely be lost, u/north will also face a catastrophe, and Dan, who signed this document. Jeffrey, who is also her backer, may also go to jail.

Dan's downfall also meant the end of Karen's career, and when she collapsed on the edge of the hotel window, staring at the bleak night scene with tears in her eyes, she fumbled to open her phone, dialed out a phone number, and told her private investigators who specialize in dirty work in a calm tone to start dealing with the matter, and the audience knew in their hearts: Karen's fall had begun.

The movie is not too obsessed with Karen's financial situation, nor does it find any reason for her depravity, which is exactly what makes sense: Karen's depravity is more due to the inferior nature of human nature, she has been devoured alive by work, but it is she who forces her to continue to sacrifice human nature.

In Karen's fall, Michael's awakening also happened as expected, Michael was gradually touched in the process of finding Arthur, and Arthur's epiphany transformation made him begin to face his true self: he was a loser, gambled, in debt, his family was far away from him, his life was forever falling apart, and his dreams were getting farther and farther away from him. Michael was once an idealistic prosecutor, but in the pursuit of fame and fortune, he ruined his life and still got nothing, and now he must find Arthur to bring him back under control and appease U/North. Maher would lend him $80,000 to get him through the current debt crisis - even though the $80,000 was a drop in the bucket for Maher, he was still stingy and refused to give it easily, and used it as an excuse to urge Michael to work hard, as a whip to beat Michael.

Faced with the ruthless exploitation of his superiors, Karen chooses not to feel, while Michael feels humiliated and angry, and he oscillates between Arthur and everything about himself: he has a large family, an ex-wife and son, and a gang boss creditor who will turn his face ruthlessly if he can't collect his debts when due. But Arthur was his best friend, and what he was talking about in anger and poetry was what Michael had fought for and that he believed in when he graduated from law school: human conscience, justice, and ideals.

"I thought you came out of law school, you left the DA, you put your conscience on the line for damn student loans, and the day you stood in front of the law firm, you accepted that fact." He said bitterly to Arthur, who eagerly defended, "No, oh my God, Michael, you know the difference, you never know what you're going to do when you sign that contract—"

"Shh Michael suddenly pressed his mouth and pressed him to the floor, and there was a dull sound of footsteps outside the locked door, and Arthur said silently in his mouth, "Do they have guns?" ”

Michael shook his head and led Arthur out of the attic through the back door, but they didn't go downstairs right away, Michael picked the lock, and they hid in an empty neighbor's house.

"There has been, Tony's specialty, a persuasive action scene." Kenneth. Turan nodded with satisfaction, "It's a good spice, of course, it's not as vulgar as a big fight, but it's very helpful in creating tension." ”

With the accumulated experience of dealing with dirty work many times, Michael realized that someone had followed Arthur, he guessed that these people belonged to U/North, and understood that Arthur was in a deep crisis at this time, but Barty relieved his worries again and again, and probed Arthur's whereabouts, Michael would be suspicious, and he had some hope for Barty's conscience, but he had built up a vigilance and never mentioned Arthur's whereabouts.

And at this moment, Arthur began to make contact with the plaintiff, Karen broke down again, she even tried to pull out the knife to harm herself, when the tip of the knife sank into the skin, her tears rolled to the wound, and under the contamination of rust, the blood made the blood more like a drop of cloudy liquid, and in the cold shot, it even made people feel aesthetically embarrassed and dirty......

“ok。” As soon as the camera turned, the wound became a small band-aid, and Karen only seemed a little panicked and hasty, but the semantics were still firm enough.

“ok…… Is it OK that you understand, or is it OK that let's keep doing it? Her intention to vaguely command failed, and the detective asked cautiously, not giving her a chance to shirk her responsibilities.

In the cold wind, Karen's fingers pressed on the band-aid, her skin sank slightly, she no longer shivered because of the cold, but looked back at each other as calmly as a pool of stagnant water, and her tone was surprisingly calm, "Okay, let's do it." ”

"It's amazing!" Kenneth couldn't help but squeeze his hand hard, he leaned forward, his eyes wandered quickly on the big screen, and he refused to miss a detail, "Very good script, very good performance, this is a real masterpiece!" Karen, no, Jennifer completely conveyed the director's intentions, Karen had already killed herself when she first ordered the killing, and the next thing should be Michael's rebirth through Arthur's death...... Elegant and wonderful! This film will not bring the traditional thrill of watching movies to the mass audience, but for those who know how to taste, it is a completely unmissable classic! ”

Although Michael's transformation had long been expected, after Arthur's death, Michael understood Barty's coldness and u/north's madness through the faces of the beings reflected in this incident, and when he saw the spark of humanity in his heart that had not yet been extinguished, Kenneth still couldn't help but applaud Daniel's delicate and exquisite performance: As usual, there are no lines to point out this, and it all depends on Daniel's expression to explain the deep conflict scene, but Daniel relied on his acting skills to explain Michael's changes logically and clearly. Layered, when he came into contact with the plaintiff in the lawsuit, and finally affirmed that Arthur's death was absolutely related to U/North, when he risked losing his job, family, home, and everything, he came to Arthur's residence, and summoned up the courage to take the original documents that had been hidden, his expression completely showed Michael's struggle-

In the end, Michael got the original, but a phone call from his son made him give up the idea, the debtor had already found his son, and talked to him affectionately, the penniless Michael had no way out except to ask the boss for 80,000 yuan, the pressure of reality was so real and heavy, Michael compromised again, he took 80,000 US dollars, signed an additional eight years of contract, gave up his request to return to the litigation team, and was once again used by the boss Barty. Bare. The naked bully overwhelmed and lowered his head: Barty had not forced him anything, he had sold his dignity for $80,000 completely voluntarily, for the $80,000 that any successful lawyer of his age would disdain.

Just as Michael paid off his debts and accepted the mercy of the debtor - if not for the lack of choice, the debtor did not want to go to his family, as if he was more human than Michael - and used some of the remaining cash to gamble in the casino, the private detective also found him through all practical means and confirmed that the missing original was in Michael's hand. This time, Karen only struggled a little, and then gave the order to kill on the phone, and the story returns to the opening scene, after Karen finished the phone call in the bathroom, she sat on the toilet lid and quietly collapsed, and when there were a few occasional footsteps, she woke up suddenly, quickly armed herself, and stood up as if nothing happened, and walked out of the closed compartment......

The story is completely closed here and also reaches the final high. When Michael walks out of the casino, two private detectives race against time to install an explosive device in Michael's car as if they were in a spy movie, and this sudden design can't help but make the audience feel cold black humor: here, the 'last minute' principle is played out by the villain, while the real hero is ignorant and waiting to be bombed.

After more than an hour of storytelling, the camera returns to the scene of Michael driving on the mountain road in the early morning at the beginning, but this time, the audience is no longer puzzled by his sudden stop: on a high hill, three horses are leisurely grazing, this is a picture described in a book that the dead Arthur, and Michael's beloved, and his son are reading, both Arthur and his son have repeatedly mentioned to him, this book is also a return to the basics, an old lawyer who has woken up from the glitz, and the pure and unbeaten, the novel loved by two souls with good intentions and expectations for the world - the iconic images that represent it emerge in this moment, both real and illusory, like Michael's hallucination, the reaction of his inner world, and like the revelation from God, the arrangement of fate.

"Michael has finally found himself...... "A faint smile appears on Roger's face, as he watches as Michael frantically pulls off his watch, pulls out his phone and throws it in the car, which are all electrical appliances that can easily be fitted with trackers, and takes the briefcase from the car that was lucky not to be blown up (the bag contains the key documents), "through a suspended animation, there is a chance to be reborn...... Subtle and philosophical structure...... The film lived up to the performances of the two actors, and Tony delivered a really good answer. However, according to the structure of the movie, Michael and Karen will definitely have a confrontation at the end, and this will also be their second meeting, if handled well, this will be the highest in the whole film.chao, and it will also be the climax of the performance of the two actors, and it will be their famous performance clip......"

Compared with the excitement at the beginning, after enjoying it for more than an hour, the old man's emotions are no longer so excited, just like an old gourmand who has just eaten a big meal and is waiting for dessert to arrive...... Pushing the boundaries of what was possible...... She and Daniel are a natural pair in performance, this is definitely a combination of 1+1>2, as long as the director is not stupid, as long as the last paragraph can have a burst of ending......"

He thought with certainty and assertiveness: "Then the Oscars of '08 will be "Michael. Clayton's world! ”
