Chapter 434: Life Journey (Medium)
Although theoretically speaking, it is easier for an actor to play a young actor than to play an old man, because the physical and psychological state of childhood is at least what the actor himself has experienced, while the state of the elderly can only be imagined out of thin air and imitated externally, but the fact is that with the assistance of elderly makeup and acting skills, excellent actors can still play the role of a reasonable old man, but most actors cannot play roles that are more than 10 years younger than their own - especially for Caucasians, their birth period is very short, Deep facial features means easy to wrinkles, easy to grow freckles after sun exposure, in general, this is a dilemma, their natural complexion is too white, if not properly sunburned, tanned to the legendary wheat-colored skin, then without makeup, the miserable white complexion is difficult to see, but once exposed to the sun, the degree of skin aging will be terrible, anyway, if the 30s to play the 20s, the actors rely on not 'maintenance is younger than the actual age', but 'many 20-year-old ordinary people because of their love of sun exposure, not properly maintained, it looks about the same as 30 years old'. www.lWxS520.coM
And even so, for actresses in the 30s, and even actresses in the 20s, the limit of playing small is also in the 17-year-old, 15-16-year-old girl, that kind of youthful, fresh temperament, the feeling of just growing that thin arms and legs, which is completely impossible for the elderly to imitate, maybe you can reproduce the psychological state of the year, and even, for some actresses with strong control ability, you can return to the physical state of the year - but to find that temperament, that kind of temperament that cannot be imitated, this is almost an impossible task. In all British and American dramas, the teenage characters are all child stars, and there is absolutely no age to play young, which also proves the authority of this common sense, and Jennifer - if she is not a familiar face to everyone, it is impossible to misrecognize, many people have to wonder if they are dazzled, in fact, this is looking for a young actor to play...... She really looked - exactly like a teenage girl, that feeling of youthfulness, tenderness, youthful energy bursting out from the bottom of her heart - this is simply crazy, how is this possible?
"Is it the credit of PS? Special effect? Could it be a face-swapping? Alain touched his chin, already deep in thought, "Well, but Jennifer has always been thin, and that's her advantage...... Maybe she's wearing that kind of bra with a reduced cup......"
For Caucasians, the thinness of girlhood is an important sign, and the slender hands and feet are easily replaced by plump lines in adulthood, especially the arms, and that sense of weakness can continue to be retained in adulthood almost in 10,000 - that is, it is difficult for models to maintain such arms, but then again, many child-faced supermodels can continue to play girls in their mid-20s, and they will not give people too strong a sense of disobedience, such as in "Magic Fantasy Show", 21-year-old Lily. Cole is still more comfortable playing a teenage girl, but in the age group of 30, playing a girl with non-childlike hardware? Even if Jennifer does have an advantage in some details, this is naturally terrifying enough - of course, anyone can try to act, but she can convince everyone that she is a girl in one shot, and even makes people think, 'Do you want to change actors?' On the special effects' feeling, this skill is worthy of her Oscar-winning honor, this kind of appearance calmed the power of the audience, the feeling full of legends and miracles, took away Heath's demeanor at once, and made people have a feeling of ups and downs, as if they couldn't vent this emotion without sharing their shock with others.
Heath managed to find a place to stay in the inn with pounds, and the next morning he got up and went downstairs to breakfast, where he met Jennifer again...... Of course, the film is still very good, and in the dialogue between the two, Heath finds that he has also become a teenager: he is well maintained, not the thin, wrinkled type, so with the help of makeup and hairstyle, he looks like an 18-year-old who is a little old-looking, which is still convincing, and Heath also plays the unique recklessness of teenagers, but this still can't be compared with the girl played by Jennifer, in the generous morning light, she looks real, as if she has been reclocked by a time machine 14 years ago, The projected 16-year-old girl - bright eyes, some suspicious, excited, shy, longing expressions, and a somewhat brittle voice, as if it has not finished the voice change period for a long time, but it clearly belongs to Jennifer -
"Is this a special effect that helps?" Hearing the whispers of the audience around him, Alain couldn't help but look at Jennifer more seriously, "The light must have helped somewhat, and the cheeks may have shrunk a little?" She looked really small, and she didn't feel like she was growing - how did that happen? However, no matter what, this kind of girl's expression, it must be acted...... I have to say that she really brought the girlish feeling to life! - I just praised Heath's acting skills, and now I have to praise Jennifer, like Heath, if I hadn't known about her, I would have thought that this was a sixteen-year-old girl in her true colors...... After "Monroe", there have been no important literary films for three years, and the cameo in the supporting role in "Nine" is even heavier, she has been acting in commercial films for the past 3 years, and I thought that her acting skills might become greasy and regress, but I didn't expect to have the same feeling of rebirth as Hiss, and most importantly, her and Hiss's acting styles are very harmonious, without any conflict...... Oh my God, this film might be more interesting than I thought! ”
"So, what's your name?" Heath and Jennifer soon struck up a conversation, and Jennifer looked at him curiously from above her glass, "I saw you last night - you look like a new kid." ”
"My name is ......" Hiss's eyes hovered over the hotel, he had noticed a lot of things wrong, for example, the technology here seemed to be backward, there was no TV, only electric lights, of course, there were no mobile phones, and Coke and others were dressed in a style that looked like the 20s of the last century, of course, including his own magical age reduction, which made Hiss quite wary and reluctant to reveal his real name. - And this is also the reason why his role is less difficult to interpret than Jennifer, at least Alan thinks so, Heath's eyes allow a sense of age, but Jennifer's does not, which is also the biggest difficulty of the whole performance, the purity of the eyes and pupils.
The eye fell on the Mentos candy exposed in a man's bag, and strangely enough, although it looked like it was from the 20s, the packaging of the Mentos candy was still bright and new, and there was no sense of the times. "My name is Mantos."
"Was there even a Mentos candy in that era?" Alain thought with interest. Jennifer, who has not yet been named, was obviously also considering Mantos's credibility, and eventually, she scoffed, "Okay, then I'll be called Coke, nice to meet you, Mantos." ”
Seeing her pretending to reach over and want to shake hands with Heath's cute appearance, Alain almost laughed out loud: this is completely a pretending mature little girl, Jennifer's performance is simply amazing!
"Nice to meet you, Coke." Mantos' eyes are also gradually changing, and he looks a little more adolescent, no longer an adult. At this time, a shout came from outside the door, "Coke, why are you here?" Hurry up, we're going to be late! ”
"Hmm...... Is this a dream? Alain adjusted his posture, his fingers wrapped around his beard, and pulled it unconsciously, "It feels like a dream, and it's ridiculous as a matter of course, isn't it?" In this way, everything in the dream has a metaphorical meaning...... Interesting, film critics and core fans will go crazy about this, he has given too much material, but what will the average audience think? ”
"Is it a dream?" Charles also moved, and whispered to Zade, who was sitting next to him. "I think the element of the dream is very strong, and in the end it may be Mantos's delusion?"
"Pay attention to some details," Zad said in a low and quick voice, "See, Coke is dressed a lot more shabby than Mantos, it seems that her family is not very good, and it is impossible to support the daily breakfast at the hotel, you see, she only has a glass of water on the table, she came to wait for Mantos on purpose, right?" She has a strong curiosity about Mantos, because he is a newcomer, and Coke is actually very restless inside, isn't it? ”
He took a breath, "Also, you have to think that in the opening narrative just now, the characters of Coke and Mantos are calling, she is narrating the story of Mantos, and the dream elements of the town are very strong, maybe it can be thought that Coke is Mantos's self projection, and what you see is actually the real situation of Mantos in his teenage years, poor, restless, wanting to change, longing for love......"
He has always been the wiser one, and Charles involuntarily nodded frequently in his comments, and he felt full of fun - although this movie is not like "Monroe" with a clear main line, Jennifer is amazing, but this form of expression is very new to Charles, and, unlike ordinary art films, the clues given by the director in this film he just understand, as interesting as a mind game, "So this love is the perfect love that Mantos failed to enjoy in his teenage years?" ”
"There's too little information at the moment." Zadeh stared at the screen intently, "I'll have to watch it to know - it's just, damn it, her acting has gotten better again......"
"Yes, yes!" Charles was also excited, "This makes people don't know what to say, do you think "Monroe" is her peak?" She's really taken to the next level here, but it's not like Monroe, where you can't even specify what's good, you just get completely involved in the character ......*! J.J is amazing! ”
In the following plot, the fantasy color becomes more intense, and all this is more like a dream - especially the point of 'making it up and using it, saying what to say', which has a strong dream character, and because of this, Alain has no resistance to the appearance of unicorns, elves and other elements, he does not feel fake, but finds it interesting, "It's so fun - no wonder to shoot 3D, Salvi is really willful, and actually uses such extravagant brushwork to render one side of the dream - and he is so lucky, He was able to find someone to put money at him and make him do it......"
Because it's in a dream, it's possible to have ridiculous visual effects, the physical principles are broken, and the appearance of fantasy beasts? These are all elements of dreams, and such a story full of metaphors, there is no clear main line, but more like a discussion-type art film, usually this kind of film can't get too much budget, and can't shoot any gorgeous pictures, so this scene on the screen has more meaning, making people have more sense of refreshment and absurdity, and really have the feeling of burning money extravagantly - seeing a unicorn running through the woods, stopping in front of Coke, grinding with her ears, and the unicorn is aimed at the audience, forming an excellent off-screen effect, Alain couldn't help but cover his forehead and chuckled. "The very existence of this film is a magical masterpiece......"
And after that, the attack of the crow, Cola's indifference to the crow, and Mantos's shock at it all have more symbolic meaning in Alain's eyes, "The crow's special effects are really good, and 3D seems to be necessary - a vivid dream, isn't it?" That feather is so real, it looks like it cost a lot of money, but what does the crow symbolize here, death? Cola's attitude towards death is so accustomed to it, because she is still too ignorant mentally to grasp the meaning of death? It's like a baby, she's too ignorant to know and be afraid...... As for Mantos, he was already half drunk in a dream, but at the end of the day, he was still an adult, he had a strong attachment to him, and he dealt with it with a rational attitude - oh, fighting, ah, this part is well done, the special effects are awesome, the angles are good, the cause and effect of the fight, and the actions of the characters are clearly explained...... Salvi's footage was awesome......"
Seeing the scene of Mantos being taken away by the crow because of Coke and Coke crying, Alain couldn't help but tremble lightly again, "Coke's expression - it's amazing, completely girly...... So what was their love plot elaborating on just now? Damn, I didn't see it clearly...... But this is for sure, the story of Coke and Mantos has a strong general meaning, the ignorant Coke is exploring the world around her, sex, love, and of course, pain, the crow may not be death, but a negative event in life, for her, these things do not exist, so she has no sense of resistance, but Mantos's departure represents that the world of Coke is invaded by crows, and she has begun to grow......"
Carried into the sky by a crow, under the trend of survival consciousness, Mantos's fight became even more crazy, after a thrilling fight, he was thrown into the river, and after floating down the river that was obviously not normal water for a while, he finally struggled to the river bank and began to continue trekking in the dense forest, and at this time, the dense forest has been completely fantastical, all kinds of bizarre and strange beauty of animals and plants haunt the forest, each picture is so visually shocking, such beauty also makes Alain constantly smack his tongue, Harry exclaimed, "It's so beautiful—I want the original artbook—", and Mantos began to analyze the peculiarities of the world to himself, while looking for a way back to the town, and he decided not to be confused by the atmosphere in the town when he returned, but to interrogate a way out of this illusion.
After a thrilling and ornamental 'East African Savannah Safari' journey, in which each animal seemed to be a metaphor for a phenomenon in real life, Mantos finally found the dense forest leading to the town, and he couldn't wait to stumble into it, while constantly muttering 'keep yourself, keep yourself, keep yourself' -
After a shaky running shot, a figure appeared between the leaves in the distance, and Mantos's speed increased, and the camera moved faster and faster, and the person in the camera became more and more clear - suddenly, Mantos's pace slowed down, and he stood there in a daze, looking at the still vague figure in the distance - his mesmerized expression made people have no doubt about his current thoughts - "I fell in love with her...... This time it was really emotional...... That girl is Coke, well, judging by the trailer, she should have grown up? ”
Although he was mentally prepared, when Coke, who was in his 20s, appeared in the picture, Alain was shocked: "That sense of growth...... Oh my God, that sense of growth...... How the hell did she, or Salvi, do it! In cases where makeup and clothing are similar...... Why is the distinction so obvious? This - how will those actors who play multiple age groups in the future be mixed? ”
