1572 Great skill but no workmanship
“Cooper." Donald called to Cooper who was about to leave. This made Cooper raise his eyes, and then he saw Donald signaling to Murphy..
Turning his head, Cooper noticed Murphy's loneliness: there was a trace of frustration and loss in her expression. Her words failed to convince her brother, and she also failed to convince her father. No one wanted to believe her..
With a gentle breath, Cooper also understood what Donald meant. The two children who lacked the care of their mother needed more care and support, but he often forgot this, immersed in his work, hoping to forget All that sadness and bitterness, leaving all the work of his parents to his father-in-law. He needs to stop occasionally..
Standing there, Cooper lowered his eyes, concealing the expression between his eyes and brows, and paused slightly in his steps. The sigh and struggle faintly revealed were fleeting, but they seemed meaningful; but then, Cooper spoke again. He raised his eyes, placed the coffee cup on the dining table, pulled out the chair, and sat down facing Murphy, keeping his eyes parallel so that the two people could have a conversation on an equal footing..
“If you want to discuss science, okay, Murphy." Cooper looked at Murphy intently and devotedly, his eyes did not dodge, and he maintained his sincerity and straightforwardness, "You just told me that you are afraid of the existence of ghosts. Not enough. No, you must continue to dig deeper. Record all the facts that happened, analyze them, understand why and how it happened, and then draw conclusions..”
After a pause, Cooper did not continue speaking, but looked at Murphy. The smile in his eyes rose gently, and he was silent for a second..
In just one second, the exchange between father and daughter became warm, and then Cooper continued, "Deal."？”
A smile bloomed at the corner of Murphy's mouth, and he nodded heavily, "Deal！”
That confident look made Cooper a little dazed, as if he saw himself in his childhood. Then the corners of Cooper's mouth also raised, he gently chinned his head, lowered his eyes, stood up again, and picked up the He took off the towel on Murphy's shoulders and wiped the little guy's wet hair. Without saying anything, he grabbed his coffee cup and then turned around and left..
“Have a good school day today." Cooper did not stay in the house, but walked straight outside..
“Wait." Donald's steady and muddy voice sounded, but Cooper's steps did not stop, but slowed down slightly. He was still tasting his coffee, but turned his head slightly to send a signal: he was Listen carefully, "There is a parent-teacher conference today..”
Before Cooper could speak, Donald added, "It's a 'parents' meeting, not a 'parents of parents' meeting.".”
Cooper's footsteps finally came to a halt. He still held his coffee cup in his left hand and stood quietly. He could only vaguely see a side face. The sunlight fell through the open door and outlined his side face. The lines and slightly scruffy beard seemed to capture a touch of bitterness and sadness, but it was fleeting and disappeared in the dazzling light..
“Card！”
Christopher's voice rang out in the room, interrupting the filming of the scene..
The crisp and loud voice brought everyone back to their senses, but the aftertaste was still slowly spreading on the tip of the tongue. Only then did they gradually feel the weightlessness of the scene just now..
Jessica also came back to her senses, but still did not rush to get rid of her emotions, but savored it carefully.
Although Renly kept making subtractions during the performance, there was almost no trace of the performance. His eyes and lines came easily without too much polishing and polishing. The whole play flowed smoothly and in one go. This skill alone is enough to make people laugh. applauded; but the truly amazing part was Renly's two pauses.
The first time was when Donald signaled that Cooper needed to communicate with Murphy.
The second time it was Donald who brought up the parent-teacher conference..
The reasons for these two pauses are similar. Donald reminded Cooper: he needs to shoulder the responsibility as a father. Although he is the children's grandfather, he cannot replace Cooper's role after all. What's more, in the absence of maternal care, Under such circumstances, the father's role becomes more important.
Cooper's two pauses have different meanings.
The previous time he was sighing, hiding guilt. He did not refuse to fulfill his father's responsibilities, but was immersed in his own pain, often neglecting his two children. In fact, he loved his two children more deeply than anyone else. Two children. Therefore, when Cooper sat down in front of Murphy, he did not avoid it, but looked directly into Murphy's eyes and patiently explained that it was not only love, but also respect..
The last time was a struggle, and the deeply buried painful memories were once again awakened in his mind. Once upon a time, the mother of the child was responsible for all these things, but now he has to shoulder all the responsibilities alone. He can't distinguish clearly. Do you devote yourself to work to forget the pain, or do you want to forget the existence of the children and remind yourself of the fact that your wife passed away?.
In the script of "Interstellar", the Nolan brothers almost consciously ignored the existence of Cooper's wife, but Renly and Jessica had an in-depth conversation about this issue——
Cooper's wife died in the apocalypse.
In fact, not only Cooper's wife, but also two of Tom's children died in the same way in the apocalypse. According to the setting of the story, the earth's sandstorms in the apocalypse are becoming more and more serious, not only Crops cannot survive, and even breathing has become extremely difficult, so NASA needs to go to the universe to find a space suitable for human survival. Cooper's wife and Tom's children both died because of this..
At the beginning of the story, that is, at the very beginning of the scene, Cooper was reading the monitoring information on the computer screen. In fact, he had been observing the development of the model disaster and trying to find a way to save the earth. He was not for To save mankind, it is to save the pain of losing his wife and to save his two children..
Cooper devoted himself to work almost without sleep or food, trying to forget the pain in this way, and also trying to find a glimmer of hope in this way. Unknowingly, he drifted away from his two children, especially the rebellious one. Tom, he has even forgotten how to communicate.
When Donald's words "not a parent's parent" hit Cooper hard, he was confused and at a loss. It was not as simple as sadness or bitterness, but a kind of lost loneliness. What should he do? What else can he do?？
Great skill but no workmanship！
This is Jessica's intuitive experience of Renly's performance. There is no craftsmanship or deliberateness at all. It only uses two pauses. There are no unnecessary expressions or movements, but it cleverly and seamlessly connects with the plot. The emotions revealed in the light clouds and breezes are so far, but they are powerful and profound enough to create ripples, which can inadvertently bring about a completely different viewing experience..
Not all outgoing performances are wonderful, and they may be bloody yelling; not all introverted performances are simple and relaxed, they may be stirring and turbulent undercurrents. There are no highs or lows in the performance itself. differences, but actors and acting skills can really tell the difference between good and bad.
Of course, all these contents are self-realized by the audience. If you watch the movie carefully, these details are all foreshadowing. As the story unfolds later, they will gradually evolve into stormy emotions, magnifying the core of the entire movie. Extreme; but if you just treat the movie as popcorn, you will ignore it, but it will have no impact..
Jessica read and understood the script over and over again, and her feelings became more direct and profound..
Comparing the two works "Gravity" and "Interstellar", Jessica can immediately understand what is addition and what is subtraction. The difference in eyes, expressions and details changes the aura and momentum of the entire performance. came over, showing two different ways of expression.
In terms of depth and level, "Gravity" is definitely better, and "Interstellar" is easier to dig and perform; but in terms of skill and difficulty, the two are comparable, especially what Renly revealed during the performance. The skill and ease with which he performed made the performance of "Interstellar" feel natural..
After all, EGOT is just a name. Everyone seems to be used to it after shouting and shouting, and they don't feel the difficulty and profoundness of it at all; but now, Jessica truly feels Renly's excellence, which is difficult to describe in words. Excellent, this made Jessica's blood boil with excitement and she couldn't wait to get into the performance..
When her eyes fell on Timothy and Mackenzie, Jessica showed a hint of envy: not that she was envious of them being able to play opposite Renly, and that she would not be so promising; but that they were able to play opposite Renly in their teenage years. Given this rare opportunity, it will be up to them how much they can learn from Renly..
“Renly..." Christopher's voice rang. He stood there and thought seriously for a moment, and then asked, "What would be the effect if you changed the angle? I mean, just a side face reveals too little emotion. If you turn around and face the camera, will your emotions be more direct?？”
If you are facing the camera head-on, it will be inferior. Not only may it destroy the integrity of the picture, but it may also make the performance too rough and direct. More importantly, it is not in line with the core of Christopher's entire film. keynote.
Jessica was a little stunned, because what Christopher proposed was a bad idea, and coaching on acting skills was really not his strong point; but unexpectedly, Renly nodded sharply and gave an affirmative answer, "No problem , is it just the last shot?？”
“Yes, let’s do it again for the last shot.” A slight smile appeared on Christopher’s face..
