964 tree of life
Robert Downey Jr. to star in "Gravity"”.
This is indeed something Renly has never imagined. The Sandra Bullock version of "Gravity" in the previous life has, to some extent, limited Renly's imagination. All ideas and thoughts are naturally based on the actress. Starting from the perspective; but he ignored that in the film preparation stage, everything is possible, and the essence of artistic creation lies in breaking restrictions and frameworks.
For a simple example, the protagonist of "Shot" was originally scheduled to be Tom Cruise, but he later resigned. After negotiation, the crew chose Angelina Jolie, which completely changed the role; another example is the American TV series In "Basic Interpretation", the role of Dr. Watson was directly played by Lucy Liu, the male became a female, and the white man became an Asian.
Situations like this are not uncommon in Hollywood.
More importantly, just thirty seconds ago, when he learned that Sandra Bullock had joined "The Big Dream", he had just realized that the butterfly effect had begun to fully affect the reality and future of Hollywood. The fixed cognition of the whole life must learn to be flexible. However, he still made an empiricist mistake just now and took it for granted..
Now that he had opened his mind, Renly couldn't help but think seriously. If Robert Downey Jr. starred in "Gravity"... In "Iron Man 3", Tony Stark was once trapped in an armor. , Desperate Survival, will "Gravity" become an extended version of that episode?？
Just imagining it in his mind made Renly laugh a little. This is not an offense or contempt to Robert Downey Jr., but the finished style of "Gravity" is indeed far removed from Robert Downey Jr..
2008In 2008, after making a comeback with "Iron Man", Robert replaced Johnny Depp and became the number one person in Hollywood. After that, he continued to have film appointments and also made many different attempts, such as "Tropic Thunder" ", another example is "Soloist", these are breakthroughs and challenges worthy of recognition.
However, after that, Robert gradually began to become lazy.
After an image or a character achieves success, he will naturally start to follow the same routine and give up more exploration and pursuit. This can be said to be Robert's choice, or it can be said to be the agent's advice. Tom Ke at his peak Russ, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, that's all.
2011Years later, Robert starred in a total of six works, five of which were Iron Man Tony Stark..
The only exception is "Judge" in 2014. But unfortunately, the reputation is a mess, the media review is only 48 points, and the box office performance is also terrible. After that, Robert became more "focused", except for "Iron Man" In addition, there are almost no other characters on the big screen..
Therefore, if you think about it, the image of Tony Stark overlaps with the Ryan Stone of "Gravity". The strong sense of contradiction really makes people smile..
“If it were a male character, how would you tell the story? "When he realized his mistake, he had to correct it. Renly straightened his posture and asked for advice humbly..
Faced with such a problem, Alfonso not only did not become nervous, but became more and more focused. He supported his hands on the round table, matched his words with gestures, and explained eloquently, "In traditional religion and philosophy, women often represent Tenderness and rebirth; men often represent strength and primitiveness..”
Renly temporarily put down his knife and fork, completely expelling the "Gravity" from his mind about the previous life, clearing his thoughts, starting from scratch, and re-understanding the work "Gravity" bit by bit..
This is not easy, because "Gravity" in the previous life was a work that Renly personally liked very much. Now it needs to be completely overturned and restarted, and even the core ideas of the story are extracted. The changes are so big that they exceed Renly's. Any works he has appeared in so far.
“If this story is told from a female perspective, the focus is on the hope of nurturing life and breaking through the ground; but if the entire story is interpreted from a male perspective, our narrative focus is on the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle..”
Philosophy and reflection are always ethereal. Alfonso's words are very abstract and cannot be concrete, let alone associated with the characters. Renly did not rush to start thinking, but listened carefully, absorbing and absorbing bit by bit. Digestion. For now, it’s still in the clouds..
“In the desperate situation of survival crisis, men are also caught in a situation where their lives hang on a thread. The strong protective shell is finally broken. In despair, he thinks of his wife, his children, and even his parents. Deep in his heart The fear amplifies little by little, especially in the lonely environment of outer space. The softness and fragility that are diametrically opposed to traditional concepts have become a shadow that swallows up vitality..”
Alfonso's explanation was still abstract, but Renly could vaguely capture some inspiration, "Either you choose to surrender and perish completely; or you rise up to resist and seize a glimmer of hope. Even if there is no hope of survival in outer space, you must rely on your own strength." Create a way out with your hands.”
In a real desperate situation, men and women are actually the same. The desire to survive is everyone’s instinct..
The only difference is that women symbolize giving birth to life, breaking out of the cocoon in a gentle and tenacious way, so in the previous life of "Gravity", there was a picture composition where Sandra curled up and became a baby, floating. In the space station, the state of the womb is simulated.
The male symbolizes the creation of the world, a tough and decisive way, tempered by fire, and rebirth. Correspondingly, the state of the womb can also be simulated in the movie, but the male actor is required to be tougher and stronger. , just like Pangu, splitting the chaos and giving birth to heaven and earth.
With the same meaning, under the difference of gender, the actors use subtle and delicate performance differences to give the movie scenes different philosophical meanings, but in the final analysis, the core ideas reflected are still the same.——
“Yes, that’s what it means! "Alfonso nodded in affirmation, and continued talking..
“In a hopeless situation, Ryan calmed down and tore through all the problems with his bare hands. He defeated the impossible, nature, and the laws of the universe, and forcibly opened up a path to life. Not only did he complete Self-salvation also means that mankind has regained control of gravity and quietly given birth to a new life in the cruel living environment of the universe..”
Gradually, Renly sketched a vague outline in his mind. It was still not very clear, just some fragments of inspiration, but it got rid of the influence of Sandra Bullock's version of "Gravity" and scrawled out the male character version. "Gravity". He needs more concrete symbols.
“Have you watched this year's Oscar Best Picture nominee 'The Tree of Life'? "Renly's question made Alfonso stunned for a moment, and his thoughts seemed to have failed to catch up. So Renly went on to explain, "In this movie, the first one-third of the scenes are very worth pondering. The director brought life on earth to life. intersecting and juxtaposing human life.”
“On one side is the birth of the earth, from the Big Bang to the Cambrian and Jurassic periods, the creation of life from scratch, from single cells to complex humans, as well as the changes in nature and the earth, all the way to the demise of the dinosaurs, and The birth of human beings; on the other side is the gestation of human beings, cells, bacteria and embryos placed under the microscope. In fact, the origin of the earth and the birth of human beings are connected.”
“"The Tree of Life" is a very profound movie. Before watching the movie, the audience must have a certain understanding of science, philosophy, religion, biology, astronomy and other related fields. Otherwise, the metaphors and implications of the pictures will not be truly felt. Arrived.
Personally speaking, Renly doesn't like this kind of work, because it is more like an American conservative Catholic self-interpretation of faith, religion, and life, and lacks a truly tolerant and inclusive mentality; but from an artistic point of view , the picture, composition, photography and plot settings are indeed worth studying..
“It is where the branches of the tree of life stretch out that we see the undiscoverable light, the vast nebula, the moving stars, the planet before it took shape, the sun and the moon blocked by the black storm, the lightning that gives life, A throbbing pristine lake, prehistoric flora and fauna, slowly dancing jellyfish, hammerhead sharks, dinosaurs dwelling on the riverbanks, the eyes of a fetus, and most importantly, a newborn child.”
These are not Renly's own words, but the opening chapter of "The Tree of Life". Poetic prose and a few strokes outline the origin of the earth, the birth of life, and the changes in nature..
“What I mean is that we stand on the surface of the earth and look up at the tree of life, and what we see is the vastness of the universe; then, if we are in outer space and look down at the earth and life, what should we see? Woolen cloth? The flow of the river of life, the eruption of the volcano of life, is still the nothingness of the vast ocean and the passage of time. We are like a drop in the ocean, small but great..”
Undoubtedly, Renly went further than Alfonso, standing at a higher, broader, and deeper perspective, giving "gravity" a more profound meaning. He even got rid of the shackles of gender and blurred the differences between living entities. The difference is simply referred to as "life".
Alfonso carefully savored some mysteries, "So, how should we present it?？”
“If it is an actress, the picture may show a womb, suggesting the birth of life; while if it is a male actor, the picture may show nothingness or chaos, and then it will be like the big one at the beginning of the universe. Explosion, bang, life begins, and time begins. Originally there was no chance of survival, but he cut and slashed and opened up a ray of hope." Renly gradually materialized his thoughts, and the outline of the character's image and the context of the performance slowly began to become clearer.
“Aha! right! Alfonso suddenly realized and snapped his fingers, but then fell into deep thought again, "No, this composition is still too simple. We should go deeper. Wait, the script needs some adjustments."……”
After thinking about it, Alfonso ignored Renly's existence and fell into his own thoughts..
