1401 only way
Andrew and Renly. In a sense, they are the same person inside and outside the mirror..
Andrew is a nineteen-year-old boy who entered Shelver, the Juilliard School of Music in the real world. Later, he was favored by Fletcher and entered the academy's top jazz band, becoming the best jazz band in history. The youngest player in the band.
On the one hand, he suffered from low self-esteem, coming from his father's ridicule and disdain, and from his own confusion and difficulty. He was always unsure whether he could truly achieve his goal; on the other hand, he firmly believed that his dream was to become another Charlie- Parker or Buddy Rich, he refused to give up or compromise, and continued to move forward regardless of the situation like a bull..
Jazz band's first rehearsal is ambivalent for Andrew.
He is nervous, worried that his performance may not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the band, and he will be embarrassed in front of all the top musicians; but he is also proud, imagining that his performance can turn out to be extraordinary, his skills will be astonishing, and he will become famous overnight. Climb to the top of the pyramid and enjoy all the applause and lights.
It was in this mixed emotion of excitement and uneasiness, anticipation and apprehension that Andrew joined the band's rehearsal for the first time. But everything fell apart in the face of Fletcher's storm, and he had not had time to touch it. When you reach the peak, you have already fallen into the abyss..
So does Renly..
On the outside, he looked confident, but deep down he was unconfident and even had low self-esteem. There was always a trace of doubt and hesitation about himself. However, he still did not give up lightly, but ran all the way towards the goal. Moving forward with his dreams and devoting himself wholeheartedly, he has been praised, succeeded and recognized step by step, allowing him to climb to the top step by step..
Inevitably, he got carried away and began to feel at a loss..
He needs to regain his original intention, he needs a wake-up call, and he needs motivation to move forward..
So, he voluntarily became Andrew, breaking the boundary between illusion and reality. Even after the filming ended, he refused to completely get rid of the acting state and was always immersed in Andrew's world..
Those prides, confidences, expectations, and dreams were all shattered and disintegrated by Fletcher's thunderous thunder, running around in the storm like a bereaved dog, covered in mud and embarrassment but unable to find a shelter. , can only shiver and linger in the cold and shame for a long time.
He carefully hid himself in the darkness and licked his wounds alone.
He was not sure whether this was the right way, whether he could find the right exit, or whether he had chosen a way that was too stupid and too clumsy, but... no one had the answer, right?？
Because he is the first actor in history to create such a record. There are no ancients or newcomers. He has no reference objects and no examples to consult. He can only grope his way forward in the darkness like a blind man. Like a fool, he stupidly keeps hitting the south wall. Even if he hits the south wall, he doesn't look back. Instead, he stupidly expects to break through the south wall..
It's the only way he knows.
He needs to firmly remember that sense of shame, then firmly remember that humility and devotion, and further firmly remember the original intention from which the dream began..
Awards are very important. Awards are very, very important. No one can deny this. It can even be said to be a key criterion for measuring history, measuring industries, and measuring the weight of life. It is not just the film industry, but also literature, painting, technology, education, brokerage, and politics. Wait, wait, there are no exceptions in all aspects of life, and Renly is naturally included..
But, awards can lie.
It does not mean a "lie", but an illusion of the times. Because every award awarded has important significance in multiple aspects such as the times, history, and society..
1989In 2006, the movie "Driving Miss Daisy" focused on the relationship between whites and blacks in the southern United States. It was an epoch-making work at the time. Although the apartheid system has been abolished for many years, deep-rooted discrimination still exists. A powerful influence was revealed in all aspects. In the end, the film became the first film in history to win the Best Picture without being nominated for the Best Director at the Oscars the following year..
At the time, this was considered a minor upset, but twenty-four years later, "Escape from Tehran" became the second film in history to achieve such an achievement..
After time has passed, from a purely artistic perspective, "Cinema Paradiso" or "Goodfellas" in the same year are both better and more classic choices, and "Born Seven" which won the Best Director Award in the same year "The Fourth of the Month" is also a work worthy of recognition.
This is not to say that "Driving Miss Daisy" is not outstanding. In fact, the success of this work has truly changed the social phenomenon and played an important role in eliminating racial barriers that cannot be ignored. This is a work of historical significance. , and Oscar also took a crucial step.
Artistic creation is not only to cultivate sentiments, but also to promote society. Just like the Korean movie "Melting Pot" directly promoted the Melting Pot Act, the so-called political correctness is inherently correct, because this is the driving force for social progress. An important component. Without the so-called "correctness", after art is disconnected from society, its own spirit and meaning will be lost..
The reason why I give examples is to emphasize that every award is time-sensitive. Only by looking at the original background of the times and social phenomena can we understand the status and role of the award in the long history. Therefore, the award will " lie"; but the work itself does not.
In other words, art doesn’t lie.
Alfred Hitchcock's "Butterfly Dream", "Rear Window", "Psycho" and other works are still timeless even sixty or seventy years later; Stanley Library Brick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", "A Clockwork Orange", "The Shining", "Full Metal Jacket" and other works can still influence generations of art creators..
These works have all missed the awards due to various reasons, but time still proves their greatness and timelessness..
After EGOT, Renly has always said this. Faced with the congratulations of his colleagues, the blessings of his friends, and the interviews of reporters, Renly always said this, but his words are words, his mentality and actions are not able to To follow his own wishes and change them casually, he needs to actually take action..
He's not sure whether the movie and the role of Andrew will go down in history, but that's not the point. The point should be that he will focus wholeheartedly on the role and performance, just as Andrew focuses wholeheartedly on his drumming skills..
Temporarily put aside any historical records, put aside all the limelight, and put aside any eternal fame, and truly return to the most basic and original place with down-to-earth, and start from scratch again. From this level, the relationship between Renly and Andrew are becoming more and more similar and overlapping.
He needs a breakthrough.
But, how should he break through? How can he break through? Can he complete the breakthrough?？
“Did you rush it or delay it?？”
“Jesus-hell-Christ! When did Shelver start recruiting mentally retarded people?？”
“Don't you think he can't even read music scores?？”
“You are just a piece of shit with no prospects, no value, and no friends..”
“You must be feeling very uncomfortable. Are you feeling very uncomfortable now?？”
……
“you have no talent.”
“Look, those are the geniuses. Real geniuses not only have talent and ability, but also need to have the ability to appreciate and identify. They know what they are good at and what they are not good at. They know how to stop losses and give up in time. Only in this way can we achieve Peak.You? You are not. You are just a mediocre person who works tirelessly. Do you know who else is like this? cattle.”
“This is the stupidest and most boring show I've ever seen..”
“dream? God, are you sure you're a Hall?？”
“Shut up. Shut up! Shut up! You don’t know if you have talent, don’t you even know when to shut up?？”
“Philip, Philip, take him away. I have a terrible headache now and can't cope with these boring things..”
“Everybody thinks they're special, everybody thinks they're a genius, everybody thinks they're unique, but let me tell you, no. They're not, and neither are you..”
“You are not stupid, you should at least know how to give up.”
“You're just another fool.”
“you should stop.”
……
“That's impossible, you know.”
“It’s not a bad dream. Anyway, I’ve been lying on a hospital bed for the rest of my life. Since I’m dreaming, why not make it bigger? Right?？”
“actor? Haha, you are a humorous guy.”
“You mean, you become an actor in your head?？”
“Dream is everyone's freedom. I just want to be an astronaut. What is never possible is called a dream, right?？”
“Anyway, he lies here every day and daydreaming is his only thought. Don’t laugh at him..”
……
“Now start practicing hard, Neiman.”
What should he do? What should he do now?？
He is not a waste, he is not a fool, he is not a daydream, he can do it, he firmly believes that he can realize his dream, and no difficulties or obstacles can defeat him.：
He will stand up, he will fight back, he will regain the initiative, he will prove himself, he will make those who look at him with contempt lower their heads and admit his mistake, he will stand under the spotlight Yes, he will have his own stage and time, and he will go down in history.
But, what should he do? The disturbing thoughts were trapped in his mind, like being imprisoned in a cage. The cage was slowly shrinking, and the panic and depression, the frustration and fear were making him lose it. Proper, so that the whole person began to tremble.
What to do, what to do, what to do, he is going to suffocate.
