A one- sentence review
of "Fortress" may not be suitable for everyone to enjoy, but it is still a very good movie. The film has a good grasp of the horror atmosphere.
—— Although "Entertainment Weekly"
makes people feel throbbing, the film is monotonous and boring. This is not a rich concert, but just a solo with impeccable bass.
--"New York Post"
Simply put, the latest film, "Fortress," is all about acting -- especially Woody Harrelson's persuasive and authoritative performance. - Behind the scenes of
Newark Star-Ledger Cop, not what I want Woody Harrelson has created countless unforgettable roles in countless movies, especially the off-line murderer in "Born to Kill", for him It has won great acclaim and the attention of fans all over the world. It can be said that no matter what role Harrison plays, downloading the movie is worth looking forward to, but playing a policeman in a movie seems to be a bit beyond the fans' "imagination" of Harrison.
In fact, Harrison himself didn't like the role of the villain police officer of the Los Angeles Police Department at all. To be more serious, he even "hated" the role. Harrison said: "I don't believe there are actors who would say they don't want to play a role, but I'll say I really don't like it and I don't want to play it. It's not my plan. But I still hope People can go and see this movie. It's a very strange and willful film. It brings you a different movie-watching experience. It's a bit reluctant to let me play a policeman. I still remember how awkward it was on my first day on set when the crew helped me change into my uniform and put on my hat and badge. They took a photo of me with my make-up and they showed me what I was I didn't like the look at all, and I thought it was weird to wear a police uniform. But Oren Murverman took a look and said it was fine. So I was settled for that."
Actually, Harrison is not disgusted . The character itself, but his resistance to such a tyrannical story. Director Muffman said: "Harrison didn't like the script at first. He felt that the script was too dark and unscrupulous. So I would revise the script from time to time while shooting, and let Harrison participate in the film. In the creation of the screenwriter and editing of the film. With the gradual development of our work and the slow release of the film, Harrison is no longer so resistant to this role." After the film was edited, Harrison was still very uncomfortable with his performance. Don't worry, because the policeman is not the role he wants to play. But after watching the movie, Harrison gradually fell in love with the movie. He said: "I sat down and watched the film. The final film was very different from the script I first saw, and the revisions were still good. Five minutes passed, 20 minutes passed, and the film did not change. There were no problems. After watching it, I found myself completely in love with the movie, it was not at all like what I had in my head. Later, I saw Murphy and apologized to him because It's a really good movie, and I was wrong about it."
"The L.A. Files"
In fact, it was the script of the film that attracted Muffman to the film from the very beginning. "It was at a production company called LifeStream, and one of the producers of 'The Courier' that I was working with happened to be there," Muffman said. "He saw the script and thought it was good, and he took it with him. It was given to me. At that time, I was still very busy, so watching this was not easy at all. After watching it, I was deeply impressed and soon decided to direct this movie."
This not simple script, The not-so-simple storyline and character settings in it come from the legendary novelist James Elroy. The most famous novel under his name is the "L.A. Four Parts", and the third "L.A. Confidential" is the most famous novel among them. ". James Elroy's novels have always been grand, powerful, and unpredictable and complex. The same features appear in this film. Oren Muffman said: "The story of Elroy is so complex and incredibly wide-ranging. I was brought into his script. But for the filming to go smoothly, I still made some simplifications to the script. Even so, the ins and outs of Los Angeles shown in the film are extremely rich in information. It can be said that this is just like the archives of Los Angeles. I It should be admitted that getting such a good script and having the opportunity to direct him is the most dream opportunity for a director. Moreover, the story is very dramatic and the characters are three-dimensional. For me, this is an excellent opportunity The subject matter.”
As for the film’s story and starring, Ben Foster, who has worked with and played opposite Harrison in the film, said: “The script is really big and complex, with a lot of details and clues in it. The coverage of the whole story is very wide, involving many past cases. It can be said that this is a very realistic and sincere script. When I saw the script, I was convinced that Harrison was the only person to play Dave. , because he is the most suitable and appropriate in terms of temperament, character, image or the feeling of the characters he has created in the past. Of course, Harrison also made a great performance in the film.
