Chapter 222: Extraordinarily Integrated

"Don't make any more mistakes, you know?"

'No one is allowed to make mistakes, especially you, when we should be on the pitch, you can't make mistakes.

"Neither I nor anyone else is allowed to make mistakes, and neither are you, not allowed to mess up."

"Britain even has a party the night before the execution, called the 'Monster Ball', and they don't have a lawyer or a priest around, so it's just you and me. I said, don't think about what he's done, it's work, and we have to do our job. ”

“Good!” When Thornton finished his lines, director Mark? Foster was the first to applaud, and there was no doubt that the shot was over, and it worked out quite well.

Sean, who was sitting in front of the bar, suddenly relaxed, quickly put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and then let out an exaggerated breath, the hissing sound was almost audible to everyone.

"It's just a cigarette, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" Thornton laughed and cursed beside him.

"Of course not, father, I just don't like smoking." Sean rolled his eyes and said, immediately eliciting a burst of laughter.

So far, he has completed a total of two major scenes, and the performance has been very successful and smooth, so successful and smooth that even he himself is surprised, and Foster, who has a bald head like Soderbergh, praises him a lot, and he has passed several difficult scenes in one go.

For example, in the current scene in the bar, the next day a black death row inmate is about to be executed, and the son is drinking in the bar, and the stern, cold and demanding father comes to him and reprimands him as if he will have a problem tomorrow. The son has almost no lines, relying entirely on expressions and body language to express his emotions, the dullness, helplessness, and the hatred and self-destruction hidden in it.

In fact, in the whole movie, the son has no lines, the only few lines of dialogue are either with the prostitute or with the death row prisoner, and the only language communication with the father is the few sentences of Zuihou's suicide, which can also be seen from this aspect, how tense the relationship between father and son is in the play.

But Sean performed well, very well, and with a little brewing, that emotion came out.

Before, when Thornton said in a stern tone, "I and others are not allowed to make mistakes, and you are the same, you are not allowed to mess up", although Sean looked indifferent, but when his eyes slanted to Thornton's side, the dissatisfaction and hatred in his eyes could not be concealed.

The place where there is more NG in this scene is the previous smoking scene, Sean does not smoke at all, although he has smoked marijuana, so although he will not be choked when smoking, it is still difficult to tolerate the smell of smoke. So much so that under the reprimand of his father, it took most of the time to put the cigarette to his mouth and take a puff of it.

"Personally, I think it's better for you to have specific shots of smoking, so that you can reflect the child's distress." That's what Foster says when someone suggests that if Sean doesn't smoke, he shouldn't have a shot in his mouth at all.

There was no way, Sean had to put the filter to his mouth again and again, and sucked deeply into his mouth again and again, so after the shooting, he was covered with the smell of smoke. Fortunately, the air in the country town is very fresh, and the smell of smoke dissipates relatively quickly in the wooded field, otherwise it would have been a terrible day to live.

Of course, a small-budget independent film like "Dance of Death Rows" with a budget of only 4 million and Sean only took a friendship price of 80,000 yuan, and didn't shoot in a small town in the south, should it be shot in a studio in the studio?

This is just like "My Grand Greek Wedding" was filmed in Canada, and various states in the United States also have tax breaks for filmmaking, after all, it can drive the local economy, and if the movie is a big hit, it may also open up tourist attractions, and the background of this movie is also set in a small town in the south.

"To be honest, your performance here is stronger than in Arras because of the strong sense of substitution in the character." Sanders asked curiously.

"Maybe ......," Sean shrugged noncommittally.

As I said before, he was also surprised by his success and smoothness, because ...... This is the first time I really feel the realm of the unity of human drama. After shouting "Action" or ringing the clapperboard, he is the Sony in the movie, the young man who lives in the shadow of his father, has no self-confidence and no self, and wants to destroy himself, everything is so natural and wonderful.

Sean has always entered the play quickly, because of his previous life, he knows very well what it is like to be another person, but it is the first time to become another person wholeheartedly like this and fully experience the joys and sorrows of the other party. He can reach this level, and he can enter the realm of the most insane human drama that Harrington said at the beginning, and it is certainly impossible to say that his experience of being a human being in two lives has not contributed to the trouble.

It's no wonder that the older generation of methodist actors like to experience life, and with the same experience, they can better understand the feelings of the characters.

However, this method is still a bit of a chicken rib for Sean, being able to quickly enter the play with his previous life experience is already a great help to his acting skills, and the rest is the experience and communication of feelings, and movies are an art of expression after all, and there is still a difference between real feelings. And this gap is not to be a taxi for a few months, or to fight a boxing match for half a year can be made up, and there is a difference between people, you go to be a taxi driver to fight boxing, that feeling is your own after all, not the character's.

Sean this time is also because he has a tense relationship with his father in both lives, plus he really wants to vent, wants to tell everyone, and some acting skills have become subconscious behaviors, so he can perform so well.

Of course, his feelings are still somewhat different from the characters, for example, it is written in the script that when Sony committed suicide in front of his father, he once asked, do you hate me? When my father replied, "Yes, I hate you," he said, "You hate me, but I love you," and he shot himself in the chest.

This may seem like a good thing, but in Sean's eyes, it's too flattering to mainstream social values, or too much concern to convey bad values to the audience. If you are really forced to that point, like a walking corpse, unable to express your thoughts, unable to break free from this bondage, and as if you are about to suffocate every day, then at that time you will most likely say something more drastic, which will make your father regret it for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, many of the personalities of the two fathers are very similar, and they both clearly convey some things, so that he will not end up like Sony in the script.

"It's really exciting, Sean, it was the right decision to come to you, and when I played against you, I almost thought you were Sony." After the execution chamber scene passed, Thornton praised him.

"That's right, even if it's just this scene of the fierce conflict between father and son, this will be a wonderful movie." Foster said the same.

The execution chamber scene is one of the five important points that express Sony's character, and it is precisely because of this fierce conflict that the fuse of his subsequent suicide tragedy is ignited. The reason is that when Sony sent the death row prisoner on the road for the first time, he vomited because he couldn't bear the pressure, and Hank was naturally furious when he saw this scene, especially after being told three or four times before, his son still didn't meet his expectations, and he was a waste.

So after the execution, he beat and scolded him, not only beating Sonny to the point that the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but also scolding the black subordinates who came to persuade him to fight were.

In this filming, Thornton's performance can be described as full of tension, vividly interpreting the complex feelings of a middle-aged man who is also depressed and takes this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction. It's a pity that Sean's performance is better, the same restrained performance, his performance is much stronger than when he played against Pacino in the Alaskan restaurant, the mania that was on the verge of exploding when pushing away his father, the hatred after struggling to endure and being pressed against the wall, and the confusion and despair of Zuihou when his father left and slowly sat down against the wall, are equally vivid.

In addition, he basically has no lines like the previous shooting, and completely relies on his expressions and body language, which makes this scene seem extraordinarily intense, so it is no wonder that the director will say that even if it only relies on this scene, the movie will be very exciting.

"It's really great, even if I look at the reality outside the set, I feel that sadness and anger, are young people so good nowadays?" The heroine on the other side said at this time.

With short black hair and dark skin, but it is different from the average black person, with well-defined facial features and an obvious mixed-race feeling, this is the famous black pearl Hallie? Berry, also Angelina? The reason Julie came to visit the class - even though she had now gone back.

Frankly, Hallie? Rebe is a very beautiful woman, probably because of her Caucasian ancestry, and the black features are not particularly obvious, so she looks more flavorful. Sean has never dated a black girl, it's not that he's racist, he really can't appreciate the beauty of black women, he always thinks they are ...... How to put it, from the side of the face, the lower half of the face is a little too ...... Prominent.

Anyway, in sight Halle? After Berry, he was considered to have a black woman to admire, and before that, no matter Whitney? Houston or Maria? Kelly, just look at it and forget about it.

It's definitely not because he's with Hillary? After Swank went to bed, after agreeing to Thornton's invitation, he got to know several of the main actors. How many people say they are, but in fact only Harley knows? Berry, who Thornton had worked with before, had a certain level of understanding of his personality and temper, and there were no other main characters other than him and Hallie.

So, after reading some of Hallie's files and some people's comments about him, after returning from Alaska, Sean also went to the theater to watch "Operation Swordfish", which was just released in June. I have to say that Hallie's figure in it is really speechless, and it is indeed sexy and sultry, and it is said that the producer paid an extra $1 million in order to let her undress and show two points.

Now that I finally see the real person, although there is a certain difference from the movie, Sean is still a little itchy.
