Chapter 195: Solo Dance

Harvey. Weinstein began to become focused.

Roman. Polanski - this is the grandmaster of film composition, and Daniel. Sandler is meticulous in his performance, and the combination of the two is vividly reflected in this moment.

Many big names in the industry who are extremely familiar with movies can clearly feel that their movie cells are cheering at this time.

With this scene alone, the film is enough to go on.

From here on, Roman began to unfold a picture of a troubled world.

The gloomy crowd, the madwoman looking for her husband, the arrested Henry and the powerful Izchak - and the wheelchair old man who was thrown down in the opposite building, and the shot that will be shown many times in the film - not because you are a rebel group, nor because of what you did to the authorities, but simply because it is your turn to hit the road today, simply because your blood is from the Jewish ethnic group. This kind of slaughter is always telling of absurd emotions, people, it seems that they are no longer human.

Then Spearman and his family had to be driven into the ghetto, and then the concentration camps.

In the following understatement, Spearman's parents, sisters, and younger brother disappear from his life, suddenly deserted. Without the slightest sensationalism in the audience's opinion, this treatment can even be called crisp and neat, and their deaths are so silently and obscurely.

Like, like the millions of Jews who died in concentration camps in those years - even if the Spearman family made it into the movies. These Jews went to silence, darkness and death without any dramatic conflict.

A Polish pseudo-Nazi saved Spearman's life at the last moment.

Perhaps he was motivated by the vanity of being able to save a prestigious national pianist, or perhaps it was the flash of thought that Spearman had been saved by a pseudo-Nazi, not an underground organization, nor a Jewish commoner—Polanski's setup, apparently intended to blur identity and good and evil, and to break down the symbols of the group.

Harvey. When Weinstein saw this, he was sure that this was an excellent work that would compete for next year's Oscar for Best Picture. But Daniel. Sandler's performance should have just begun, and the foreshadowing was over. The times showed, and next, it was how this pianist walked alone and struggled to survive in such an era. Who he was going to meet, what ordeal he was going to go through—Harvey felt a visceral anticipation.

The performances in this are similar to Emmett in "Pretty Woman", Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings", and Jason in "Spy". Byrne, Ian from "The Greek Wedding". Miller is completely different.

In "The Pianist". Even in the more prosaic period of the early period, Harvey could feel the depth and thickness of Daniel's heart, plain but not shallow, indifferent but not pale.

It's Daniel's growing up.

Harvey seems to be able to imagine why Daniel would invite friends from the industry to cheer on the film - even though the film doesn't have much box office threat in North America, so people don't have any worries about coming or not coming. But Daniel sees the film as a new stage in his acting arts, and sends that message to those present, a proud but confident state of mind.

At least. So far, he's been successful, and Harvey glanced at several of the big directors, CEOs and media editors around him.

Sure enough, when Spearman returns to the deserted Jewish Ghetto and encounters survivors hiding under the piano stage, Daniel presents the first "artistic" performance of the film.

Every stumble, every glance, every dazed look, every distracted babble—in the empty and broken background, it was like a solo dance, or. Play a mournful piano piece.

Adrian. Brody's performance is slightly inferior to Daniel's, and it is most obvious here, detached from the shape, language, and opponents, Daniel still maintains strength, appeal and strong emotion. But the 28-year-old Adrian didn't have this ability, and his natural talent allowed him to fit the character with the times with a lot of help, but it was not enough for the characters themselves to shine through the times.

But Daniel can—why he says it's a return and sublimation of his performance, because at this moment, the character of Spearman is no longer an invisible background light, but a cool-toned headlamp in the center. The former reflects the times and history with humanity. However, after all, it is only a kind of rendering, a kind of explanation, but the latter is completely different, the light of human nature shines through the times, and what is striking is a deeper shaping and declaration.

Most of the people who are doing it, including directors and film critics, have a high level of appreciation, and the slightly inferior media are more sensitive than the average person, so in the entire screening room, in this performance, Daniel's skills are felt.

"He's a miracle, isn't he?"

"Perhaps, this is the genius, the man whom God favors."

When the plot slows down a bit, there is a short conversation below - whether it is a film critic or a film journalist, in fact, basically no matter what kind of film, it is difficult to completely sink into it when they are in a working state, which is also one of the biggest problems when the producer holds a professional preview screening. Because some films, if you can immerse yourself in them, you can feel the charm of 120 points, but most of the film critics and journalists who are invited can only feel 60 points, and the remaining 40 points are completely measured by film theory and inherent judging standards - this is a subconscious behavior that stifles innovation, and it exists like this.

Then it was really his one-man show.

How a pianist is reduced step by step to a person who has fled the country.

How the dirty and ill-fitting shape, the increasingly prominent cheekbones, and the kind of eyes full of gentle romance become cringe and numb.

The styling and performance are perfectly combined here.

Spearman is locked in the house for safety, and it is a new outburst for Daniel.

The audience can almost see how a decent artist can go from the peace of mind of a place to live, to the restlessness and silence, then the lack of food, the lack of water, the lack of communication, and finally the desolate man with a scruffy beard hanging by a thread.

When artillery bombarded the shelter, which was infested with rebels, Spearman had to flee.

"Polanski is really bold."

Sitting next to Harvey was Steven. Spielberg, a great director who has made "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List", even tried to direct Polanski many times, but in the end it didn't work.

"What?" Harvey tilted his head slightly.

"Didn't you notice, such a big theme, such a heavy subject, such a cold way of shooting, he really dared to rely on a character to shape the whole movie, Daniel has too many one-man shows, if it weren't for Polanski's technique enough, I even want to wonder if he found a big room, and then put a different background board, and then found a person with superb acting skills in this room, acting out the whole story, unbelievable."

Harvey glanced at Steven's expression, not sarcastic, but indeed full of amazement.

He chuckled under his breath, "However, he did find a great soloist, didn't he?" ”

The ultimate salvation of Spearman by the Nazi officers, and his own eventual end, was neither a secular drama of repentance and misconviction, nor a reconciliation of forgiveness and a life bargain for you and I save you - just because, as it is, Spearman was saved by an individual Nazi officer, and the Nazi officer died in a prisoner of war camp.

This is the most distinctive feature of the whole "Pianist".

Honest!

Honestly, it's not like a movie.

There are almost no important elements of the film, such as endless conflicts, emotional accentuation and rendering.

"A semi-documentary."

A reporter Nan Nan said to himself that when the movie was about to end, he began to think about how his manuscript should describe the movie.

Either way, however, Daniel will be complimented.

They clearly felt that Daniel. Sandler's miracle will continue, and it won't be his Waterloo.

……

As Daniel promised, after watching the movie, without interviews or photographs, Daniel thanked them one by one, made an appointment to say goodbye, or attended someone's Christmas party, whose birthday party, etc., and then put them in the car.

Harvey. Weinstein was the only one who stayed.

The meaning is clear.

Tim. Roland commissioned him to do the public relations for the film, and Good Machine Pictures did the distribution, the former almost means an Oscar, or a Golden Globe. "The Pianist" was officially released in March, stepping on the Oscar line, and the clarity of the intention is needless to say.

"Harvey, how's it going?"

Re-seated, the staff served two cups of hot coffee, and the owner of the Oriental Cinema, Exxon. Cooper, come and say hello, and go to work.

"You really take care of him, is it because of the previous friendship in "Greek Wedding"?"

Now in the independent theater of Los Angeles, envy Exxon, definitely no more sympathetic than Matthew. Fox is even less - Matthew has been transferred to the west by Carrick Cinemas, because of the wrong decision on "Greek Wedding", which even affected Karrick's basic operations, many old customers can't see this masterpiece here, so they have to change theaters, he may think that the new movie theater is also good, and then Carrick's customers start to lose - this is not a small number, considering Carrick's ambitions, and the gap with the three major theater chains, plus the importance of Los Angeles, Matthew was not pressed into the toilet, This is already quite a merciful disposition.

"What do you think of here?" (To be continued.) )
