"Darkest Hour" talks about how Churchill overcomes difficulties and dissent during the Second World War, and called on the people to actively fight against the Japanese War. The time is perfectly connected with "Dunkirk". Everyone is complimenting the actor Gary Oldman for his good performance, "the whole body is a play", "textbook style", "listening materials", "Oscar hold", but imitates the emotions, anger, sorrow, and control of the body, especially the face. Muscle, proper utterance... is just the basic skills of a powerful actor, especially an actor who has received repeated training in British stage plays. If you simply list these points, no one is much worse than another.
Gary Oldman is best known for his systematic cognition and construction of roles, which comes from his comprehension and artistic accomplishment of drama. And his construction was successful, he reduced himself to zero, and his role was consistent.
If the plot is called the flesh and blood of the image of a politician, then there are three parts to the bones and muscles: one is how to play a political figure and how to perform the most critical speeches well. How to control the body, enhance the language appeal, how the subtle emotional expressions between speeches respond to the "return from the scene", and how to portray the inner relaxation of the characters at the beginning and end of the speech.
The second is that when a politician makes a choice, there are two choices. One is instantaneous. For example, in the paragraph "Do we need to tell the people", Churchill stared at the other person and said no. One is the choice of a major historical turning point, which is a climax drama, showing his perseverance, courage, repeated self-doubt, confusion, pain, and loneliness.
Speeches and choices can only reflect the charm of politicians.
The third and most important thing is how can he convince us that he is playing Churchill instead of Roosevelt, Stalin, and Tito if the specific historical space is removed. We must know that political leaders will instigate, make choices, and have courage. This is due to Gary’s vividly imitating, capturing and rehearsing Churchill’s character, behavior and habits, where to find a lighter, where to drink, where to "Churchill’s stare"... these trivial details constitute the character’s soul, including his emotionality, Talking to yourself, lack of relationships with others, and truthfulness in the details of words and sentences. Yau is the only politician who has won the Nobel Prize for Literature. When we see his focus on using words and hear the optimism conveyed by his witty jokes, we will realize that this is Yau and not someone else. .
Therefore, praise the male lead for his good acting skills and cannot ignore that this is a one-man play script, which gives him huge space and excellent supporting roles, especially from the Viscount Halifax played by the dramatist Stephen Dylan. The only opponent in the film. The capture of scenes, makeup, editing, and even photography are also a accomplishment for him.
The neat script actually has no outstanding features. Domestic film and television dramas show that Grandpa Mao is often set up in this way. (Look forward, speak, be questioned, be marginalized, oppose effective, and win. Historical themes, I am not afraid of such general spoilers.) Therefore, performance has become more and more important to this movie.
Except for performance, movies are basically relatively ordinary and relatively. But on the eve of Dunkirk, Britain’s choice between the war of resistance and peace negotiations was the light of modern civilization. There would be no Britain that did not succumb to dictatorship and hegemony, and there would be no present in Europe or the present in the world. It is highly recommended to watch.
The above is a very simple thing, it is the basic steps I must think about when I get a film and pay attention to each character. I will make a deeper interpretation and judgment based on this step. I write it out here, just to ridicule those guys who gossip, make conclusions, follow the trend, and when you ask him carefully, you can't talk about the reason. We talk too much empty talk, everyone plagiarizes each other, but it is not good to analyze the details and samples, which is very bad.
