On the next day of the US election, a group of friends told Bilibili to buy this film, and the implication in it was connoted.
Reviewing it under current politics, I am more and more sighed that it is not only racial prejudice, but environmental education and class solidification are the source of contradictions. Human beings still have a long, long way to go to achieve equality and equal rights.
Let's talk about the two leading actors. I was shocked by Norton's acting skills. This is where my love with my uncle began.
The US media always evaluates him as a mediocre acting genius
Ah, this is all a hindrance to the acting skills that have already reached the realm, which makes people instinctively ignore the fact that this person is beautiful, but he is indeed handsome and good at acting. He has changed his shoulders and slender body. , just because of this meat and this face, I want to doi with him crazy
Edward Furlong's Braised Eggs are indescribably beautiful, and there is a sweet quietness about him when he moves or does not move, like a beauty walking out of a painting,
She has long hair that reaches her shoulders, and when she lowers her eyebrows and lowers her eyes, she is full of innate melancholy beauty, which makes people inexplicably excited.
He was excavated by Kashen when he was young, and was shocked in Terminator 2.
It is rare to grow up and not disabled!!! On the contrary, the acting skills are becoming more and more skilled, and the acting is not inferior to Norton
I can't help but sing: It seems that Ying Ying was like a frightening shadow, swaying the nebula with a frown and a smile.
Young, promising and aura, but his future was ruined by XD
I expected that his gloomy, sensitive, scarred, beautiful teenage temperament would shine in literary films after this, but the reality made a joke. .
Chat about what's going on behind the scenes
Norton is pushy and perfectionist, Tony Kaye is domineering.
It is also expected that two men who want to control each other meet, and there will be differences in communication.
Often in the creation of disagreements and confrontations, in the end, the two discussed deeply at the desk, arguing endlessly, or no one could persuade the other.
Norton kept breaking the door and sneaking into the editing room in the dead of night. He personally went into battle and cut a version of his own. In the final film released, the production company strangely adopted the version cut by the actors.
In fact, Kaye had another choice in the initial casting, and he did not intend to let Norton play. It was he who volunteered to come here to act, and it was only 2 years away from the filming of the first-level fearful pure white rabbit. The actor worked hard to shape his body and practiced tendons, and showed his sincerity with a beard and shaved head. On the one hand, the production company strongly recommended it and put pressure on Kaye to accept it.
After being humiliated, Kaye refused to put his name on the production list, and he clearly directed the film but did not have the right to edit and speak.
Original ending: Danny's final shot freezes in the bathroom, sitting there dying. Then the camera cuts to Derek, who is looking in the mirror with a wicked look and shaving his own hair, which means he's ready to go back to violence, and everything he said earlier is void.
- This ending was rejected by Norton's strong opposition.
Personally, I actually prefer the handling of blank spaces, and the open ending is a bit more advanced.
Weighing the need for violent revenge to repay the debt with blood, or to cut off the shackles of hatred and protect the family,
Leave the fate of the characters to the audience's imagination. Although the director's revenge ending echoes the reality, it is somewhat out of the way. Hatred and violence are never the solution to the problem. People of all colors gather together to play the never ending joys and sorrows. Such stories can be seen everywhere in the world, but reality is far from reality. More brutal than the movie.
Norton's ending with his brother's swan song makes this tragedy caused by discrimination and prejudice a little more serious literary meaning.
In addition, I can't help but praise Director Kaye for his fascinating photography skills. The character's special face shot is his distinctive personal style, which not only intensifies the conflicts generated by the plot and the inner world of the characters under the great tragedy, but also makes the emotional expression more piercing.
All of Kaye's films are filmed by himself, and he strongly promotes detachment
But it's going to be another day of depression.
