“Horrible Doctor Phibes”.
This is a classic horror movie of the 1970s, released in 1971. Compared with the famous "Moonlight", "Night of the Living Dead" and "The Exorcist", its reputation does not seem to be the same. Less loud, more niche, more low-key, and of course, more weird. Only those who really like horror movies or cult/canon/movie fans know about this work..
The movie tells the story of a doctor who faked his death in a car accident, and then used ten operatic techniques to execute those who he thought killed his wife. The terrifying atmosphere presented by the work is undoubtedly worthy of recognition, and more importantly, the ten types of murder The technique complements the Ten Plagues of Egypt, interpreting the colors of religion and destiny..
At that time, actor Vincent-Price, known as the King of Horror Movies, encountered a career bottleneck. After starring in this movie, he once again showed his superb acting skills and won countless applause. Later, He also entered Michael Jackson's vision because of this movie. Michael personally invited Vincent to voice the narration for the 1981 classic music video "Thriller".
After this movie entered the 21st century, it once again became a hot topic of discussion among countless horror movie lovers, because many of the creativity and ideas in the "Saw" series came from this work.
When Renly said the name of the movie "The Horrible Doctor Phibes", Rooney was completely shocked because she had never heard of this work at all. She couldn't help but frowned slightly, with a look on her face. He glanced at Renly suspiciously, but then thought about it and denied his thoughts..
“So, you didn’t deliberately choose such a niche work? Just because I just picked such a popular work? "Although she didn't want to think so, Rooney still said hesitantly..
Renly raised his eyebrows, "In your eyes, am I this kind of person?"？”
“If today was the first day I met you, I wouldn't have guessed like this." Because Renly's appearance looks like a graceful gentleman, and it's completely impossible to tell that he is actually a master of pranks, Rooney's pupils shrank slightly. , looking at Renly's gentle smile, the more he thought about it, the more likely it became, "But... we have known each other for so long, I can't deny this idea..”
Renly laughed dumbly, "I thought my reputation was always pretty good..”
“Then we have to see which part it is specifically." Rooney said meaningfully, if it is the acting part, it is naturally undisputed, but as for other parts……
Renly didn't mind either. He pursed his lips slightly and nodded in agreement, "That's fair." Then he added, "But I'm serious this time. I've always wanted to try comedy or horror or something else." An unusual role. Not long ago, I even joked with Andy about challenging the role of a vase. It seemed like a good idea..”
“vase? " Rooney raised her voice, then looked Renly up and down, as if he was making an appraisal. Finally, she gently retracted her chin and said with satisfaction, "Although it's not the best choice, there should be someone willing to buy it..”
There was a smile in Renly's eyes, but it was not shown on the surface. He said seriously, "You feel the same way, and I feel the same way..”
Rooney suppressed a smile, and the corners of her mouth were obviously raised, but she still pressed it hard, "But, why? Why this Dr. Phibes?"？”
Now, Rooney really had some interest. Renly narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Rooney carefully, and then lowered his jaw, as if Rooney had passed his verification, " It was 1969, and MGM was going through a series of flops, so they set their sights on their top-grossing actor at the time, Vincent Price..”
Rooney opened her mouth slightly, and the confusion between her eyebrows not only did not diminish, but also became more intense, "Is this your compatibility test? It's like asking a friend to see if he knows Kurt Vonnegut Kurt-Vonnegut or Philip-Guston）.”
Kurt Vonnegut is a representative figure of American black humor literature. Many people compare him to Mark Twain..
Philip Guston, a painter and printmaker of the New York School, was one of the most important promoters of Abstract Expressionism..
“So, is this a realistic interpretation of 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'? I just want to express my love for this movie. Didn't we just discuss which movie we would like to star in if we could choose at will? Why is the topic going off the rails now? "Renly met Rooney's gaze with curiosity, and began to explore instead..
Rooney raised her eyebrows, "So, we are still discussing the topic just now?" Seeing Renly's half-smiling expression, Rooney showed an expression of realization, but she changed the topic and then The topic went off the rails again, "How many dates have you discussed this topic with? Have you discussed this movie?"？”
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, "We are dating now.？”
Rooney immediately noticed Renly's half-smiling expression, and there was a meaningful light in his eyes. Two blushes appeared on her cheeks, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm and said, "I'm not sure. How is it defined in the UK, but in the US, if two people go alone to watch the sunset by the Hudson River, then this is a date. Not a relationship, but a date..”
Renly pursed his lips and retracted his jaw in sudden realization, "If it's the UK, then it's a little more complicated. We need a cup of tea or a bottle of beer before it can be considered a date..”
“Pfft." Rooney couldn't hold it back and laughed lightly, but she still resisted the urge to laugh and said again seriously, "So, how many dates have you discussed this topic with?？”
Renly also said seriously, "So, how many people do you think can answer this question? In other words, how many people are willing to listen to me talk about the movie 'The Horrible Doctor Phibes'?？”
“There must be a lot." Rooney replied simply..
Renly stared at Rooney intently, his light brown eyes reflecting the burning clouds all over the sky, shining brightly, and his deep voice was like a slowly playing cello, "Does this include you?？”
Rooney could feel the power of her heart beating hard against her chest, almost jumping out of her throat. The throbbing and panic was like a deer stumbling around. Her fingertips couldn't help but curl up, and then she was in a panic. He moved his eyes away and raised his head to look at the bright sunset over the Hudson River. "I have never seen the sunset in New York.".”
Renly still didn't speak, just looked at Rooney quietly..
This made Rooney's cheeks become as hot as burning clouds, her shoulders and side face lines tightened uncontrollably, and she only felt that her mouth was dry..
In fact, she had already regretted it as soon as she turned her head. She didn't know why she changed the subject, and she didn't even know why she turned her head away. Her shyness and embarrassment made thousands of butterflies deep in her belly They all started to flap their wings; but now it was too late, what should she do? what should she do！
After a while, Renly slowly looked away and looked straight ahead. The orange-red sunset dyed the entire city into a different color, and the gray Manhattan couldn't help but be covered with a light layer. Warmth; the sparkling river reflects thousands of rays of light, and outlines the skyline of the city, towering into the clouds, and the water and sky are the same color..
The breathtaking beauty makes people calm down just like that.
“The beauty of New York is reserved for the night, and the majesty of the sunrise and sunset is hidden behind this steel forest. No one will come here specifically to watch the sunset." Renly said softly, and after a moment of pause, he added , "Unless it's like the two of us doing nothing crazy..”
“I think the tourists on the cruise ship are going to protest. They are also enjoying the sunset. I guess they came here just for the sunset." Rooney did not deny it, but started driving seriously. joke.
Renly lightly shrugged, "Tell me, what comes to my mind right now is the image of Spider-Man or the Joker swinging through the air. Is this the result of Hollywood brainwashing?？”
“No, I would say this is the result of the homogenization of imagination." Rooney did not laugh, but answered seriously, "What comes to my mind now is the image of the Nutcracker dancing ballet on the water. You Look, the light of nature is the most beautiful light in the world. What else can be more perfect than such a stage?？”
Renly shook his head slightly..
Rooney noticed Renly's movements from the corner of her eyes, and naturally turned her head, casting a doubtful gaze..
Then Renly also turned his head, with a faint smile flashing in his eyes, "Whether it's the Nutcracker or Spider-Man, in the final analysis they are all manifestations of our imagination being restricted. If we can be like Don Quixote, Imagine the windmill becoming a giant. I think this is the most interesting thing..”
“This is not surprising." Rooney also showed a chuckle, "So, we became actors instead of directors; so, we stood on the stage instead of standing behind the stage..”
There was a trace of surprise between Renly's brows, "I thought that the reason why we became actors was because we longed for fame and attention. After all, this is the job of standing under the spotlight..”
This is exactly the mocking tone of media reporters..
Rooney couldn't help but burst out laughing, "God, those reporters must be gnashing their teeth at you.？”
“How can I provoke the uncrowned king? "Renly still had a sincere expression on his face..
Rooney smiled even more happily.
The orange sunset was burning like a flame, and the golden light outlined the edges of the face and the throbbing in the eyes. The words suddenly disappeared, and the sounds suddenly disappeared, as if the whole world shrank, then shrunk, and finally Only each other's presence was left, and then the thump thump thump of heartbeats could be heard in the ears..
