THE CAST Actors
The Hollywood gold that was affirmed by the Little Goldman because of Audrey Hepburn's innocent beauty Times have passed, and now the unspoken Oscar rules prevail-beautiful women must self-destroy their image before they can be affirmed (Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Harry Berry), heart-threatening men only have nominations but picks No awards (Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Brad Pitt). Although this kind of rule-oriented has given birth to a group of little-known Oscar actresses, it has undoubtedly encouraged a large number of Hollywood handsome men and women to continue to break through their image and challenge themselves.
Matthew McConaughey and Gerald Leto, who are crazy to lose weight for "Dallas Buyers Club," are in this category.
After a 6-year absence from the film industry, Gerard Leto, who wore a wig, lipstick, and swaying in women's style, was the biggest surprise in Hollywood this year. Even though he hasn't acted for six years, he plays a role that has been labeled as "homosexual", "transvestite" and "AIDS patient" at the same time, but he has no sense of contradiction and is not deliberately depressed because of his transvestite identity. The styling did not allow the personal sorrow of the character Rayon to overwhelm the theme of the film. Because of the successful interpretation of Rayon, Gerald Leto won the "Best Supporting Actor" in the New York Film Critics Association Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, the Golden Globe Award and all other film awards you can name. As a result, Matthew McConaughey, who plays the actor Ron in "Dallas Buyers Club", can’t help but stress. After all, with a sharp supporting actor like Rayon, it’s hard to hold down as the protagonist. Shine. However, Brother Ma, who also lost 50 pounds because of the film, actually HOLD lived.
Unlike Gerald Leto, who has practiced acting skills in independent films all the year round, Matthew McConaughey has been the "Man in a Bottle" in Hollywood romantic comedies for a long time. From "Wedding Specialist" to "Ten Day Dating Manual", from "Lai Family" to "Ex-Girlfriend's Ghosts", Matthew McConaughey has always played the same role-blond, blue-eyed, wheat-skinned , Eight-pack of the diamond king's fifth. The success of the commercial film did not waste Matthew McConaughey's "Hollywood male standard", but it also limited his development for a decade or more. I was so impressed with Matthew McConaughey’s "Handsome Lover" that when I first started watching "True Detective", I didn't recognize that the gloomy detective was actually in the "Ten Day Dating Manual". Sports reporter.
I believe that many people have the same question as me: "When did Xiao Ma become so capable of acting?!" Matthew McConaughey, who had passed through the years of no doubt, suddenly concentrated his acting skills, including me. Many viewers inside are overwhelmed. In "Sludge", he is hiding on the island, talking to the little boy about the prodigal son who sacrificed for love; in "Killer Joe", he is a surly killer who is not crazy and can not survive; regardless of his cooperation in "True Detective" The gloom and alienation shown by Duan Dadu’s philosophical thinking, just the way he used thongs in "Magic Mike" to provoke the lustful women in the audience is enough to make people completely ignore the almost naked Channing Ta. Toum and Matthew Bomer. Now, in "Dallas Buyers Club", the skinny brother Ma wears a cowboy hat and speaks southern swear words to attack the god of death and the system. If Gerald Leto’s performance is flexible, restrained, and hollowed out, then Ron, played by Matthew McConaughey, happens to be a portrayal of a Southern cowboy unwilling to fall in a tragic fate—— Vulgar, outgoing, with epic tragic.
Although not as soft as Gerald Leto won the award, but several heavyweight "Best Actor" awards are undoubtedly an affirmation of Matthew McConaughey's successful transformation. As an actor, I can play with another opponent who plays with his life to such an extent, Xiao Ma, even if I can't get the Oscar, I will support you.
THE MOVIE Movie
Even if life is a dream, we must have this dream with a sense of taste, and don't lose the sentiment and fun of the dream.
Even if life is a tragedy, we must act this tragedy vividly and vividly, and don't lose the magnificence and comfort of the tragedy.
——Friedrich Nietzsche
"Go to life, as tomorrow will never come." In these years, whether it is in the publicity of the media or in the private blogs of friends and acquaintances, this sentence has appeared frequently. Gossip than gossip. No matter how ordinary people record a period of experience, how inevitable a decision they make, there is always a way to summarize the conclusion to "Carpe Diem" (in time for joy, see "Death Poetry Society"). However, when we worship the "almighty" law of attraction and plan for the next day of eating, drinking and having fun, do we need to ask ourselves a question: If tomorrow is really not coming, what is the meaning of everything today? ?
To be honest, I don't want to associate "Dallas Buyers Club" with the spread of so-called "positive energy", and I don't want to attribute the experience of Ron and Rayon to a touching and inspirational story. No matter how active a group of people with AIDS are fighting for their lives, they are always full of unspeakable misery. The reason why we can still say what “positive energy” means is because we don’t know what it means to be an AIDS patient. .
In the 1980s before cocktail therapy was born, the panic caused by the rapid spread of AIDS, together with the rejection of homosexuals, set up a double hell for AIDS people-death is close at hand, and they are helpless. In this total tragedy, in order to survive, some people have never stopped resisting. This is the case with Ron, the protagonist of "Dallas Buyers Club." After learning that he still had 30 days to live with AIDS, Ron in the film finished the five-part grief facing death of "negation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance" in just one day. He regretted the past corrupt life, prayed to God that he would have more time, and even cried about his situation on the side of the road, but without any hesitation, he quickly plunged into the process of saving his life.
In a very short time, Death discovered the true self hidden under Ron's vulgar and slutty appearance-a resourceful doer who didn't know how to give in. He resolutely quit all bad habits, focused on learning all things related to the treatment of AIDS, dealt with FDA supervision and various drug smuggling channels, established a club to solve funds and help others, and even in the process, completely faded away. Be narrow and embrace equality. Including Ron himself, it is impossible for him to imagine the changes he has made after suffering from AIDS. A crude and conservative southern worker who was once drunk and dreamy went to Asia to smuggle medicines. He even used a lawyer to confront the FDA in court, and he would fight to defend the transvestites. Death, in an extremely cruel way, greatly broadened Ron's life. Starting from the burden of the "weight of life" hanging over his head at any time, Ron, who was born to death, was no longer as vanity as a mirror, and he was resting on the painful and real pulse of life every day.
In contrast, Rayon's story is more lonely. As a homosexual and transvestite, a woman’s soul has been completely shackled in a male body from the day she was born. Every day since then, Rayon has been tossed in her true self and her defined self. . AIDS is more like an outlet, giving Rayon a certain freedom in the shadow of death that he does not need to be troubled by secular evaluation. When he reiterated in front of his father in menswear that he was "this is not a choice", when he lay on the bed and cried "I don't want to die", what we see is that a fragile but fearless soul is already in the dark China fought alone for too long. He couldn't completely detoxify like Ron, maybe just because only drugs can make him temporarily away from the pain of "life".
Being born as a person, walking in the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death is destined to be a tragedy. Each of us, even if we can stay away from the pain of Ron and Rayon, is still the protagonist in their tragedy feast. To live toward death is indeed tragic, and it is also the beginning of accepting the tragic nature of life. As Nietzsche praised, tragedy also has its value. What "Dallas Buyers Club" can bring to us is that it is impressive and magnificent and comforting.
