Chapter 267 Having fun is also a cinematic attitude

Throughout the entire "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, Lin Mingyang's performance task this time can be said to be the easiest. If "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" relies on special effects and creativity, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" relies on action and excitement, then "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" plays a lively game.

It was probably the success of the first two films that made the director of the film become unruly because of Captain Jack's madness. Generally speaking, in Hollywood, anyone who is a little creative will often create something amazing if they don't follow the rules.

In order to create a theme park-like, participatory "hilarious" effect, the film was filmed to greatly improve the performance space of many supporting characters, so that the final set of the film reached 2 and a half hours.

Of course, another result of this is that the protagonists in the film no longer have to be bouncing around in the whole play like the first two films, Lin Mingyang's extremely eye-catching neat skills in the second episode were compressed into a glimpse of the big melee, and most of the stories in the third episode take place on a pirate ship, and the limited space makes it impossible to perform the "parkour" stunt, Lin Mingyang is mostly just putting up a few fancy shelves in this episode, and there is a scene where a pirate in the melee rushes towards him with a war knife, but he hasn't walked in front of him yet, was tripped by the rope under his feet, and as soon as Lin Mingyang's fist was raised, the opponent himself had already fallen.

Because of the improvement of the performance space, the supporting roles in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" are more interesting than the main characters. Not to mention the monkey who is not afraid of death and will never die, it is the "cutest character" in the whole movie; Needless to say, the pair of "stupid duo" who always "shoot themselves" would probably become boring without them; Of course, it is needless to say that the "dying cool" Lord Jazz and Captain Jack and Will, who hold high the banner of "officers and soldiers are hopeless, pirates are justified", the pair of "anti-bone double cannons", just the "sad toe" pirate with only one shot, is enough to make people happy for a long time.

Similar funny clips abound in the film, and as the male lead of the film, Johnny Depp plays Captain Jack in the film, in addition to being as enchanting and cunning as ever, he also shows the more charming side of the charming captain: madness.

Jack's madness in this film has helped the whole movie a big favor - the part where Jack is trapped in Davy-Jones Prison and "goes crazy" is the most "movie" in the whole movie, Captain Jack schizophrenia has a lot of schizophrenia, and then he takes care to be the conductor, and then if he is not pleasing to the eye, he can erase the split self at will.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is already a fantasy film and a surreal theme, and this clip still seems surreal in such a surreal framework, and even Lin Mingyang has to admire the imagination of the director. After the filming of this footage, Lin Mingyang asked for the sample from Vybinsky, hid in his tent and watched it many times, still feeling interesting.

"I can't see what kind of theme this five-minute movie clip wants to show at all, but you still can't give up after watching it so many times, I really don't know what you think" Knightley watched Lin Mingyang in the tent for a long time, she held her face with both hands, and the constant repetition of the play had already made her feel a sense of drowsiness.

"This is the most amazing plot in the film, in terms of composition, camera movement, rhythm, music, etc., this section presents an 'artistic' style that is incompatible with the whole film. It's like a short and absurd dream, placed in such a crowded and noisy time and space as the whole film, absurd and full of meaning, what a nostalgic feeling. ”

Lin Mingyang said a bunch of emotions "incoherently", but unfortunately Knightley didn't listen to a word, she reached out and touched Lin Mingyang's head, "You don't have a fever either, why did you speak so inexplicably today?" ”

"Absurdity is also a profound art" Lin Mingyang ignored Knightley and continued his nonsense, "It seems that I have to ask Mr. Depp for advice if I have the opportunity, his current level of attainment can apply to go to the Russian National Circus, which has the highest level of acrobatics in the world."

"Tightrope walking?" Knightley looked at Lin Mingyang in confusion, "Mr. Depp doesn't seem to have performed acrobatics in the movie." ”

"It's just a metaphor," Lin Mingyang raised his index finger and gestured in the air, "I'm actually talking about Mr. Depp's performance style, between madness and genius, between enchanting and masculine, between cunning and bravery, he swayed out of a road, and the width of that road is really not much thicker than a wire rope." This ability to shine his own unique light between the plausible may be the real reason why Mr. Depp has been nominated for Oscars repeatedly. There are many actors who play serious and talk about 'methods' in Hollywood, but there are still very few who can find a unique way like Mr. Depp and cultivate from the 'evil road' to a generation of top masters. ”

"I think this movie is like a screen version of a Disneyland ride, and there are so many confusing 'intrigues and intrigues' in the film that they are only for fun." Knightley had enough of this kind of frolicking commercial film, and if Lin Mingyang hadn't invited her to join this time, she would have said that she wouldn't want to do such a film again.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is not about pioneering a new visual language, it has only one goal: to keep the audience as entertained as possible, and everything else is ancillary and serves that goal. As for the plot conflict you mentioned, I think the director actually knew very rationally that 'it would be useless to defect more than three times in the same movie', but they still deliberately made a dozen or so 'anti-bones' as if they were making trouble, which cannot but be said to be a joke. On the one hand, I snickered at the film critics' serious criticism of the 'redundant' and 'loopholes' that they were obviously spoofed, and on the other hand, I was also happy to be able to toss the audience's mind that was already unable to distinguish the clues. ”

"They take making movies as a joke?" Although Knightley is a little "wild and untamable", she still has some British tradition and rigor in her bones, and Lin Mingyang's explanation makes her feel incredible, how can there be such a movie?

Lin Mingyang shrugged, ""Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is about a very light-hearted theme, since the choreographers and directors have filmed with the attitude of 'strategic drama and tactical rigor', as an audience watching the movie, what reason is there to count the film with a straight face? So, don't care if the love between Davy Jones and Sea Witch is reasonable, and don't speculate on when Jack and Will came to an 'anti-deal'... It's actually very easy to explain this, you can make up your own reasons. Because these details are not the focus of the whole movie, if you have to get into these horns, in addition to showing that your head is sharp enough, don't expect the rest of the audience in the movie theater to laugh out loud to sympathize with you. ”

Seeing Knightley's head drooping, frowning and puzzled, Lin Mingyang further explained: "This is a commercial film that doesn't need to be taken seriously. As with any other movie, the audience will inevitably be worried about the fate of at least one of the parties in the film, but in a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean 3, you can enjoy the visual pleasure of the screen without thinking about the emotional effect. Because you obviously know that the characters you love don't die, and even if they do, it doesn't matter, because there's always some power that can get them back. ”

"Watching "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is like Depp's acting, you have to have the psychology of enjoyment, not the psychology of 'competition'. Only in this way can you enjoy Captain Jack's comfortable mood of 'the sea and the sky are free for me'. In such tense times, everyone needs to relax, and I can say that if this film can be released next year, there is definitely no film that can relax the audience more than it. ”

"Someone wasn't happy with the film at first, but now it's like a different person?" Knightley suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Mingyang with a strange expression.

"Is there one?"

Lin Mingyang smiled wryly. At the beginning of filming, he also felt that such "foolishness" was a bit unusual, but in the process of filming, his understanding also changed little by little, as opposed to rigor, and having fun is actually a kind of movie attitude. Putting aside those big and empty pursuits of so-called connotation, in fact, entertaining the audience is the most important function of movies in the commercial era. A successful movie is either an enlightening visual guide for the audience, or a carnival-style visual feast for the audience.

Of course, for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", Lin Mingyang is not without regrets in his heart, mainly because of the damn rating, in order to meet this standard suitable for all ages, the leakage of Will and Elizabeth on the island after the resurrection in the film could have been more predictable, but director Verbinski finally made this scene into a standard cartoon.

The simple use of two crossed swords on the beach hints at what may happen between lonely men and widows on the island, although this arrangement can leave the audience with endless imagination, but Lin Mingyang, as the leading actor, is very depressed. Although the scene where Will kicked his shoes and kissed Elizabeth's thigh was indeed filmed beautifully, Lin Mingyang always felt that it was a pity to make a movie as an opportunity to take advantage of it openly and not be responsible, so it was a pity to waste it in vain, the key is that Knightley's "pink" appearance in that scene was really attractive.

Who said that the tablet is not beautiful, it can still fascinate people at critical moments.
