Acting is a very mysterious thing. It seems that anyone can say a few words. After watching a movie, you can say: "So-and-so is so good, so handsome!" You can also say: "So-and-so There is no acting skills, it's just a vase." You can also say: "Who and so and so are better than this and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so." Everyone has a set of acting standards in their minds, so what exactly is acting?
Acting should be a technique. The technique of pretending to be someone else in a movie, the actor will eat by acting. Whoever pretends to look like is good, and whoever pretends to be disrespectful will have no food, maybe that's it. A naked truth. What is good then? Is it necessary to show the characters in the play using three levels, four angles, and five different expression methods, even if they are advanced? Or should you explain the role according to your own understanding in the same way as you change? There is no standard for these at all. Therefore, I think that for acting, this kind of craft, which is a technology but cannot be measured by a certain standard, is better to resort to sensibility honestly. This is why anyone can nag about acting. s reason. Watching a movie, the performance of the actor is projected onto your emotional experience, making you forget that what you see is the performance of the actor, but the character itself, and emotions can be driven by the character, this is a good acting skill. I guess when I start to watch "The Self-cultivation of Actors", Master Si should be telling us this in the book.
Looking back on the Oscar performance awards in recent years, it can be roughly divided into two types. One is the interpretation of fictional characters, such as Sean Penn in "Mystic River" and Hudson in Dream Girl. They are very good researches. The other is the actor’s interpretation of the real character. Through the understanding and analysis of the prototype character, they show it in front of the camera to give this character a sense of reality in the film. The audience is in In the process of watching the movie, I forgot that this was watching the performance, but subconsciously felt that this was the prototype of the characters, the devil of Shaliz Theron, the Ray of Jamie Fox, the Elizabeth II of Helen Mirren, and Forest General Amin of Wickert are examples of recent years.
At the end of "The Last Dictatorship", the director inserted a realistic picture of Amin, his demeanor and action. After watching it, I even sighed that Forestwickt’s performance was superb. Don’t talk about that set of several levels and angles. , His performance is to make me think he is Amin, how awesome! Seeing that the actor took it, it's really genuine, unlike our domestic performance awards...Oh, let's not talk about it, I'm sad when I talk about it.
The dictator is actually an overbearing child.
Watching "The Last Dictatorship" is directed at the Oscar Shinco actor. I know a little bit about the Amin played by Forester. The dictator, cannibalism, died in Saudi Arabia in 2003. It’s shocking. Before watching the film, I prepared bloody and bloody preparations for the film, but after watching it, I felt that Amin was more like a domineering child. Although he had power and did whatever he wanted, what he wanted most in his heart was trust and Understand, and the most impossible thing for a person in his position to get is these two things, so he is more domineering, more distorted, and more do whatever he wants. In the end, even if he is a child, he must pay for his actions in the face of human justice and justice.
The story of the film started with a Scottish medical graduate named Nicholas, who didn't want to start working step by step. He pointed at the globe and determined Uganda as the place where his new life began. When I first arrived, everything was fresh and exciting. However, a treatment for Amin changed his life. He became Amin's personal doctor and really began to approach the dictator. After gradually getting in touch with Amin, Nicholas felt that he could no longer stay by his side, so after untold hardships, he finally broke through Amin's heavy obstacles and left Uganda.
We often say: Companion with a monarch is like a companion with a tiger. In order to express the danger around those in power, I actually think that it is natural that the tiger is dangerous. The tiger wants to eat people. If you get close to it, it doesn’t eat you. Then it’s wrong. So since it’s decided to As a companion, you should establish two beliefs. First, tigers can eat people; second, be prepared to be eaten at any time. If you are really eaten, don't complain. If you want to blame, just blame yourself.
From another perspective, think about the phrase "to accompany a monarch as a tiger". What do you think when a tiger can eat people? It's a joyful, heartless cannibalism? I don't think so, it must have its own difficulties, and there are still tears in its eyes when it bites. But judging from the film "The Last Dictatorship", when the tiger Amin bit Nicholas, his heart was actually not good.
Amin is a power seizure. He has lived in the vigilance to protect the existing power from beginning to end. He must doubt everyone around him. A little bit of potential danger means destruction to him, so he has to deal with any threat preemptively. The inevitable choice. Under his "danger", everyone around him was even more afraid of him, thinking about how to overthrow him, which was even more threatening in Amin's eyes, until one day when he met Nicholas, he relaxed his vigilance. Accepted him.
Amin really accepted Nicholas because Nicholas fired two shots at the bull. At that time, the painful cry of the injured cow affected Nicholas to treat Aming's injury, so Nicholas picked up Amin's pistol and shot the injured cow decisively, and the world suddenly became quiet. Guns in the turbulent Africa at the time meant fighting for power and killing each other. At this time, Nicholas's two shots were meant to exercise the mission of a doctor to save the dead and heal the wounded. The two shots without threats won the trust of the dictator Amin. After that, the communication between the two people was like two children who were able to play, and even a little bit of no guessing, but this feeling only stayed in the interaction with Nicholas. Once the danger from outside was involved, Amin became one again. A tiger.
Nicholas is also changing. This young man who escaped the shackles of various stereotypes at the time has grown up in the face of cruel reality. He realized the danger of this "playmate" from the people around him, so he wanted to escape, and this idea However, he was forbidden by the right hand of the overbearing child A Ming. In the end Nicholas left, escaped from the "playmate", and boarded the plane that went home (also back to reality). Amin on the ground looked at the plane in the sky with a tear in his eyes and the corners of his mouth dripped. A trace of blood.
Transcendence and Return
Watching "The Last Dictatorship" reminds me of "Destruction of the Empire", which is also a story about a dictator, and also chose to return to humanity. Indeed, Hitler and Amin are full of evil and sinful dictators. In the court of human justice and justice, no matter what the sentence is, it will not be excessive even if the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty are exhausted, but when we have Get close to them when you get to know them, and you will discover another level of understanding of them that has been overlooked: they are also humans.
People have desires and pains, as well as choices and feelings. While we judge them righteously and make them pay the price for their actions, we can also return to the level of human nature to know them more objectively, which can also be regarded as a kind of calmness. Beyond it.
After having dinner this afternoon, I opened iptv and ordered Feng Xiaogang’s movie link. He found that he was playing "A World Without Thieves". It was the scene where Andy Lau died. He put the bag containing the money back to Silly Root with his bloody hands. By the pillow, and then died, there was an unsent text message in his hand. At this moment, Adu's singing sounded, and I suddenly felt so moved. I was moved for no reason. After careful consideration, the truth is actually very simple. Andy Lau is a thief. Regardless of how handsome he is, everyone is equal before the axioms of the law. The judgment is correct, but the problem is that what he did The purpose of self-kind humanity, even if it is finally judged by the law, is worthy of admiration in terms of human affection.
Who made us live in such a world where so many unexplainable things exist, and it is these gray areas that have so much magic power that has attracted our attention. Regarding these people and things, we will understand from the level of human true feelings in addition to the axioms of right and wrong. The movie will be more exciting because of this, and our thinking will be more profound.
