“No, that's a load of garbage! You are just talking to yourself, talking to yourself……”
“You are not watching the movie seriously. Those confessions are closely related to the plot.……”
“No, you probably over-interpreted it. The whole movie was just about being caught up in your own emotions and moaning without any reason..”
“Moaning without illness? Are you sure we are watching the same show? That man, when he was seven years old, he witnessed his mother committing suicide, and then his grandfather completely ignored him and immersed himself in his own world. He grew up strong and alone, trying to save those innocent and immature souls, but he was unable to do anything. Don't you understand? Because he hasn't received any education in this area, because he himself is a mess, so he doesn't know what to do? I'm afraid that my mistakes will cause more harm.”
“So he felt sorry for himself and then killed the female student？”
“Jesus Christ! What did you say? Kill that female student? You must be kidding me, are you fucking kidding me? He tried to help the female student, but he couldn't do anything！”
“Then he was the one who killed her. In my opinion, he could have helped her, but he refused..”
“What you mean is that if an underage girl throws herself into the arms of a teacher, then the teacher should open her arms.？”
“Hey, hey, you all deviated from the subject of the movie and the subject of discussion. This movie is about education, about society, what we are discussing now is, does the movie really discuss these topics?……”
“Who said that! He must explain clearly, what does it mean that he killed the female student? absurd! Ridiculous！”
“Otherwise? Do you still want to say that society killed her? This is a Hollywood film, not a French New Wave or Italian modern realism film！”
……
They were arguing endlessly, and they couldn't stop arguing with red faces. Even standing on the street, they seemed to want to roll up their sleeves and have a good fight..
In fact, Katarina Koffler had already rolled up her sleeves, her heavy winter coat was open, and her rosy cheeks were even covered with sweat. She was not fighting alone, she was surrounded by people. There was a large group of people, about a dozen people, talking to each other, and the whole discussion was very lively..
Mark Lacante stood by, helpless. To be more precise, he wanted to join the discussion, but the speed of the coming and going was so fast, like a machine gun, that he couldn't get in at all, let alone Discouraged.
Kristen Shuttler and Chuck Smith standing nearby didn't care at all. Kristen would yell from time to time to join the discussion, "Don't you think Renly's performance is really too strong?" Or maybe it was. , "Renly is so handsome that it makes your legs weak", etc..
His eyes were like a revolving lantern, quickly scanning the lively crowd in front of him. Mark was angry and funny. He took a long breath and tried to clear out the turbid air in his chest. Unexpectedly, he saw Renly not far away..
In front of the cinema is a bustling street, lined with skyscrapers and large shopping malls on both sides. The shops on the street show the city's leisure life, including bookstores, coffee shops, flower shops and restaurants. Mark and his party came again today at noon Arriving at the cinema and watching "Transcendence" for the second time”.
Yesterday's premiere had so much information and was so shocking that they ignored many details, the details of the performance, the details of the lines, and the details of the story. So, they must watch it again today..
After watching the movie, they couldn't wait to start sharing their opinions. Unexpectedly, as they discussed and discussed, the team got bigger and bigger. Unknowingly, like a snowball, a large group of people gathered together bustlingly. They didn't even think about it. I didn't have time to find an open space, and when I stood in front of the cinema, it was already noisy..
Mark had no idea how things had reached this point, but what was even more surprising was that he actually discovered the protagonist they were discussing.——
In the courtyard of the open-air coffee house about a dozen steps away, Renly was leisurely enjoying a cup of coffee. But from another perspective, this was a film festival, where actors and directors could be seen everywhere, not to mention Lanly. Li has always been the kind of actor who takes the initiative to join the ranks of movie fans.
It's not surprising to see Renly in front of the cinema.
No sunglasses, no hat, no cover, sitting on a chair elegantly, wearing a cobalt blue polka-dot shirt, casual and messy curly hair, and a comfortable look on his face, low-key and plain, but involuntarily attractive Looking around.
Sitting directly opposite Renly was Jake Gyllenhaal. The two were chatting happily. Jake was mainly talking, while Renly was listening politely and carefully, adding a few words from time to time. His expression suddenly became as bright and bright as the spring breeze ruffled the lake water..
“Just ask Renly and find out! Before his brain knew it, Mark blurted out, "Guys, guys!" The second cry was a shocking cry, "Renly, let's ask Renly directly, and these arguments will come to light!" "With that said, Mark took the lead and rushed over..
The others stood there, stunned, and looked in Mark's direction. Then they also understood, and a group of people rushed over in a hurry..
Fortunately, the coffee shop is open-air, and Renly is sitting in the garden outside. A dozen or twenty people swarm up and surround the wooden fence, so as not to affect other customers. However, such a scene is still disturbing. People looked over one after another.
“Renly, do you think this movie is Henry's soliloquy?？”
“Of course he doesn't feel that way because it's his role. You should ask Tony Kaye！”
“But he is an actor, so he has the most say！”
……
The chatter of arguments was unyielding, and the fierce scene looked like there was a sworn hatred. Renly and Jack exchanged glances, and both laughed. Jack raised his right hand and pressed it down. "You should at least give this gentleman a chance to speak. Otherwise, we will never know the answer..”
The quarrel gradually subsided. Renly chuckled and said to Jack, "Sure enough, experienced people are different." This joke made Jack laugh loudly..
Then, Renly raised his head and looked at the enthusiastic faces in front of him. There were all kinds of people, including childish young people, unshaven tramps, and middle-aged people dressed casually. Men, as well as beautiful women dressed in costumes...all of different ages and professions gathered together.
This is the power of the movie and also his honor.
“First of all, yes, I agree, this movie focuses on Henry's self-talk. As a viewer, it is actually rude and unreasonable, forcibly throwing out a world of unknown strangers, and then watching him in pain. Ups and downs, always spinning in circles, unable to find an exit. No, objectively speaking, I don’t like this movie. It can even be said that I hate this movie. It is too self-centered.”
Renly's answer caused the crowd in front of him to start to commotion. The opponents raised their chins and looked at the other supporters triumphantly. Although they did not speak, the meaning expressed in their eyes could not be clearer..
The supporters immediately panicked, and Katarina couldn't wait to shout, "But those monologues are all connected with the plot.".”
“Yes." Renly said firmly, "But, I don't like it..”
The crisp and straightforward answer silenced the crowd for a moment. Renly continued, "In the final analysis, this is Henry's monologue, this is Henry's story. As an audience, why should I listen to a down-and-out teacher?" What about the inner monologue? I think Tony is being unreasonable at this point and shoehorning everything in. He has the right to do that, and I have the right not to like it..”
At this time, the opponents raised their hands and cheered heartily..
Renly shrugged with a matter-of-fact expression, and then saw Jack's playful expression, "Are you serious?？”
Renly didn't smile. He just picked up the coffee and took a sip. He was not kidding, it was indeed the case..
From the perspective of the audience, he prefers movies that leave lingering and reflections. The director is responsible for telling the story, and then hides his own thoughts in the lens and story, allowing the audience to interpret them; like "Transcendence", with Henry The monologue used to explain the interpretation is not only too straightforward, but also too crude..
Katarina was immediately stunned. Kristen, who was standing next to her, couldn't hold it in anymore and asked in a loud voice, "Well, don't you like your movie?"？”
“Ha." Renly put down the coffee cup, "I won't say that I like this movie, and I won't say that I hate this movie." Now everyone stopped and accused Renly of being sophistry. Everyone Everyone unanimously pointed the finger at Renly, causing Jack to laugh sitting next to him..
Renly did not defend himself. After everyone calmed down for a while, he said, "I am an actor, and the movie is in the promotion period. What do you expect me to say?" It was so frank, but it was impossible to refute, so everyone's His expressions became weird, and he couldn’t laugh or cry..
Renly continued, "Back to the movie. Does Henry's soliloquy make sense? Yes, of course it does. These lines are the result of serious thinking by the screenwriter, director, and actors. The point is, Do the audience understand these monologues? Or, are they willing to understand them?？”
“As mentioned just now, these lines are linked to the plot and also to the performance. The audience is willing to calm down, listen to these lines, and then interpret the metaphors and hints behind them, and re-examine the story. This is naturally another step. It couldn't be better. But you can hate this movie all you want if you don't want to. I think Tony won't mind..”
Renly always had a smile on his face, chatting and laughing happily, expressing his position, but also opening his mind to embrace all opinions, criticism, praise, opposition and support..
As a result, the opponents standing nearby suddenly became dissatisfied, "In the final analysis, you are still promoting your movie. After saying so much, you still like your movie. What you said is like saying nothing..”
