The Greatest Showman

I didn't expect it to be "detached".

Not a play, but a film, an art film, or more precisely, an experimental art film.

Then, Tony Kaye in front of him is the director of "detachment"!

Tony can be regarded as an alternative in the entertainment industry. He has only directed four works in his career, and one of them is "Blackwater Shipping Company". Because it touched the interests of some powerful groups, he was directly stopped and failed to complete the shooting.

He always pays attention to sensitive social issues, such as his directorial debut "American X-Files", which focuses on racism and neo/Nazi/Nazi issues; for example, the "Abortion/Abortion/Rights War" four years ago, which challenges religion people's sensitive nerves. Both works have aroused a lot of repercussions in the art field, and the former has achieved Edward Norton's Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

And Karl Lund is no exception, "detachment" is the only work in his screenwriting career.

No wonder Renly didn't recognize the two, no wonder Renly didn't react at all, no wonder Woody would be willing to make a connection. The three people in front of them are typical New York academic artists. They are devoted to their own artistic creation, and have never compromised with Hollywood, nor have they ever cared about Hollywood's preferences.

"Transcendence" is such a work.

As introduced by Carl and Tony, "Transcendence" also has another translation called "Human Teacher", and the film focuses on a teacher named Henry-Barthes, who comes to a public school. Substitute story.

It's not the kind of inspirational story of Japanese TV dramas, where a passionate teacher saves bad students; it's a cruel story that reflects social reality, and the despair of despair is almost breathless.

During this time, Henry met three different women, a female teacher who silently endured violence from students and parents, a female student who suffered from obesity and domestic violence, and a female student who suffered from prostitution/guest violence repeatedly. Treated homeless chicks/prostitutes.

All three sought Henry's help to varying degrees, but Henry himself was in deep trouble.

When he was a child, he witnessed his mother's suicide, and his grandfather blamed him for his fault. He was immersed in his own grief and could not extricate himself, leaving Henry to fend for himself. The shadow of childhood made him start to protect himself, close his emotional communication with others, and face the world with indifference and alienation. He became a teacher of great talent, but he never stayed at one school for long periods of time, avoiding his emotional connection with his students, always lingering as a substitute teacher between schools.

In these three women, each one condenses the consequences of family education and social influence, this is a film about education, about society, but at the end of the day, it is also a film about family, about the impact of family on each An indelible and profound influence on a child.

Facing the three souls seeking help, Henry suffered once again. He tried to redeem them, but he had to redeem himself first.

The film uses a large number of documentary filming methods, using interviews to examine the problems encountered in modern American education through the perspectives of different teachers; using monologues to express the characters' inner ravings and struggles, the rough film texture , Shaking hand-held cameras, and strong use of colors, reflect the current situation of the entire society by digging into the depth of the characters' thoughts.

Such experimental performance techniques are more suitable for stage plays, but even in stage plays, a large number of inner monologues are often integrated into the predicament of being bored, let alone movies.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is not a likable movie, or even a disgusting movie. Because Tony focused all the shots on that state of struggle, and after amplifying his emotions to the extreme, it was almost breathless.

This is a movie with a gloomy and gloomy feel from the bottom of it.

It is also a work of extreme despair. In 2016, "Manchester by the Sea" is more restrained and more intelligent. It imprisoned all despair in the character's body and slowly penetrated. The boundless cold seems to be boundless. , never see the border, let people cry.

Casey Affleck (casey-affleck), who plays the leading actor, won an Oscar.

And "detachment" uses a magnifying glass to explode every detail, crying without sound or shedding tears, just like slowly sinking when drowning, gradually away from the light on the water surface, slowly swallowed by darkness, the movie will The whole process is presented ten times slower, elegant, beautiful, and magnificent, but sad, desolate, and hopeless.

More importantly, "Manchester by the Sea" has a clear outline of the story, which is more acceptable to the audience; but "detachment" itself sacrifices the frame structure of the story, and the narrative clues are relatively vague, focusing on emotional outline.

In other words, when Tony was shooting this work, he didn't intend to make the audience like it, and he showed a state of "detachment" entirely in an artistic way, like babbling.

The same is true. After the release of "Transcendence", it encountered the extreme test of ice and fire. The comprehensive review by the media was only 52 points, and it was still a long way from the passing line. The film critics who supported it were sought after by the heavens, and the critics who rejected it. It rebuked Zhentian; the same is true for imdb's senior fan ratings, hovering on the edge of eight points, unable to go up, but also unable to come down.

This is also proved in terms of awards. The mainstream awards ceremonies, including the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Cannes, have completely fallen, and no one even mentions them;

It has won a series of awards on art platforms such as small film festivals, Independent Spirit Awards, and Woodstock Film Festival in Asia, but no one pays attention, and naturally no one knows about it.

As for the movie's box office? It was only released in art theaters for three weeks, and then it was hurriedly taken off the line. It did not get better when it moved to the video disc distribution market. It was piled up in the corner and accumulated dust. In the end, the film box office was only 70,000 US dollars.

70,000, not even 100,000, is a real loss. Even the senior and hardcore audiences of art theaters do not buy it.

There is no doubt that this is an art film that has been completely ignored, completely rejected, and completely hated. But there are countless such works on Off-Broadway in New York, and it is these bold, novel, sharp, special works that form the basis of art.

It's like "Once Upon a Time in America".

Italian director Serigo-leone waited thirteen years for this work, even earlier than the "Godfather" series, and spent almost all of Serigo's efforts However, when the work was released that year, it was scolded by critics and audiences because of the castration and editing of the film company. It not only failed at the box office, but also did not receive any recognition in terms of art.

In the end, it directly led to Sergio's gloomy death. A generation of film masters passed away in their hometown with regret and sadness.

It wasn't until a decade later, when the first director's version of Sergio himself, edited with a Proustian structure, came out, that people discovered the film's brilliance; thirty years later, "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​went one step further into gangsterism The irreplaceable absolute classic in the epic, even surpassed the "Godfather" and "Old Guy", and became the favorite of countless film critics and audiences.

It has been called "the greatest failure in Hollywood history".

There are many reasons why "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​is ignored. Film companies are a part that cannot be ignored, but in history, even without the intervention of film companies, because of their artistic attributes, they are far away from the public's aesthetics, and even deviate from the aesthetics of film critics. In turn, it was ignored by the times. After waiting for the time to lift the ban, people re-taste the only one among them. There are countless such cases.

"The Elephant Man", "Blue Velvet", "The Sid Sisters", "Mulholland Drive", "Death Illusion", "The Stranger", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Trainspotting", "I My own Idaho", "Fight Club", "Blade Runner" and so on.

Of course, that's not to say that Renly admires the movie "Transcendence".

On the contrary, Renly does not like "detachment", and even rejects it, not only because the process of watching the movie is very dull and unfriendly to the audience, but also because the emotions in the movie are too deep and strong, even if A normal person can also see depression, not to mention his condition in the previous life?

However, the viewing angle as an audience and the observation angle as an actor are completely different.

From an actor's standpoint, playing Henri Bacht was a daunting challenge. Because all the shots are aimed at the emotions of the actors and magnify this emotion to the extreme, every little change is presented.

This is different from "Buried Alive". Henry's emotions are trapped in place, he will not struggle, he has given up struggling, all his emotions are drawn in, and then inward, but he needs to have a camera that can shock The depth and delicacy. There is no doubt that the performance is more difficult.

This is also different from "Manchester by the Sea". Although both characters are immersed in sad despair, the former is more of anger and sadness that refuses to compromise with himself, while Henry is like a trapped beast, trying to walk away. He went out, but could not find an exit, so he gave up his resistance.

More importantly, due to Tony's shooting techniques, Henry's despair needs richer layers and more variable details. If it is just pure sadness or despair, the thickness and depth of the film cannot reach a high level, the kind of delicate The change is the ultimate challenge for any actor. It is no exaggeration to say that the performance of "Transcendence" is even more difficult than "Manchester by the Sea".

To put it simply, you have to cry in a variety of ways, and each tear has a different emotion and level.

This is expressive acting. The role of Henry does not require the substitution of Methodism, because Tony just stayed at a point in the story. He just told Renly all the background stories of the character; what is needed is a solid foundation and a solid foundation of expressionism. Deduction, the difference between a look, often determines the ultimate depth of the character.

In other words, this is the ultimate challenge of expressive acting!
