"Carol" tells a love story between two women. Under the social background of the 1950s, this is undoubtedly strictly forbidden. This has also become a barrier and barrier between them. For the actors In other words, this will inevitably become the core of their performance that cannot be bypassed.

At this time, Rooney was thinking about this.

Lan Li did not speak immediately, but seriously thought about it, "In the past ten years, Brokeback Mountain is becoming a classic masterpiece that everyone praises. Many people think that Li will be turbulent between the two men. The emotions that burst out but had to be silent and suppressed are vividly interpreted."

"He consciously weakened the noisy and chaos of the social environment, only as a background, but focused all the attention on the characters, from their struggles and pains to reflect the heavy social bondage, this share comes from the East. The cultural tolerance and restraint give the story a strong stamina. This is undoubtedly a very clever work. His Eastern temperament and Western experience are perfectly combined."

Lan Li did not give an answer directly, but started a discussion, which made Rooney relax a little, and his thoughts followed Lan Li's ups and downs.

"It is undeniable that this is one of the reasons, but I think there is another point that cannot be ignored: that is the background of the times. In Wyoming in the 1960s, that was a taboo topic. No one wanted to mention it, and no one dared to admit it. Occasionally mentioned, the cowboys are also with contempt and attack. Under such an environment, they have to choose tolerant and restrained, otherwise a little commotion may lead to killing."

Rooney carefully savored Lan Li's words, "What you mean is that the emotions they present are closely related to the times, the environment, and the status and status."

"Yes, it's also related to the style that the director expects." Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "If you shoot similar stories from the 1980s or the 21st century with the same technique, the overall style will appear unconvincing. Even if it is Li, he can't make a classic."

Or, different directors have different interpretations, such as Pedro-Almodovar's brilliant colors, Tim Burton's Gothic style, Wang/jia/wei's blurred dreams, Gus Van Sant’s alienation and coldness... They can all give the same story, a completely different style, even if it is the same "Brokeback Mountain", the final appearance may be far different, as to whether it can be a classic in the end , Then no one knows.

The director of "Carol" Todd-Haynes (Todd-Haynes) is an art creator who is very good at using color conflicts to create moral dilemmas. "There" and other works are like this, seemingly bold and unrestrained, but introverted and precipitated. The delicate and complex emotions in the heart are all expressed in the desire to talk. The details of the performance and the use of space by the actors are also the same. One of his strong points.

It can be understood that Todd Hines is also a director who is very demanding on actors. His performance needs to be restrained and emotional content needs to be complicated. Julianne Moore is his favorite general, which has many similarities with Ann Lee. However, there are requirements that belong to the director himself.

Returning to the movie Rooney is shooting, similar to "Brokeback Mountain", "Carol" took place in the 1950s. Even if the background is switched to New York, the social environment has many similarities——

The original "The Price of Salt" cannot even be published, and the author Patricia-Highsmith, who created "The Train Geek" and "Genius Ripley", must even be published anonymously, which is enough to explain At that time, the social environment was bad and depressed.

"...Then, I should converge and minimize this struggle as much as possible?" Rooney seemed to be stuck in a pit, unable to jump out.

Lan Li understands this situation-he also often appears, as if thinking is trapped in an infinite loop. At this time, another opinion is needed to break the cycle, "whether it should be presented, how should it be presented, and what proportions should it be presented? This is the actor’s self-feeling during the performance, and it still requires you and the director to complete coordination; personally, the focus of your thinking now is a little off."

Rooney leaned on the back of the chair and cast a questioning look at Lan Li.

"I think the root of the entanglement should be whether you really fall in love with Carol, not the fear caused by social taboos. Just like Ennis of Brokeback Mountain, Jack is very sure, but Ennis always refuses. Faced with the true self, I also refused to admit that I was completely in love with Jack, which also made the end of the story burst out with a powerful force. As for the social environment, that is part of the reason for the creation of Ennis."

Lan Li's words are slightly convoluted, they are the root of entanglement and social influence, and they are confused when they go around. His words are practical and popular to explain:

If you really fall in love, then you will desperately fly moths to the fire. After all, those entanglements and taboos will not be able to restrain the restless emotions; but if there are still hesitation and consideration, measurement and calculation, then it is not love, not love Not enough but not pure enough-or, love yourself more.

Rooney chewed carefully and slowly recovered her senses, "'Sense and Emotion'?" Her perspective was slightly different, but she keenly grasped the core essence of the problem.

Jane Austen’s original book "Sense and Emotion" is the best example. These two emotions are inherently contradictory and rarely can co-exist. Even though rationality is used to weigh a lot, they will eventually yield to emotion-that The scorching and crazy emotions eventually burst down like a flood.

Similarly, in the film version "Sense and Emotion" directed by Ann Lee, Emma Thompson's performance also delicately shows the kind of entanglement and struggle.

"Entanglement and hesitation will inevitably arise, because the influence of the social environment is ubiquitous and cannot be ignored at all, and they are always objective; but the real root is not from secular obstacles, but my feelings for Carol. Those hesitations, those thoughts, and those timid steps are rooted in their own thinking: whether that kind of love is the'emotion' that I guessed, whether it is the urge to open my arms after burning my life and soul."

For the film as a whole, the difference in these details is almost negligible, because the entanglement is entanglement after all, whether it is entanglement for social pressure or for discerning the heart, if the emotions finally presented can be accurately in place, the audience will not be able to distinguish. The essential difference hidden inside.

But for performance, these details are the context and framework of the entire performance. The actor's understanding of the "origin" will also affect the understanding of the entire script, roles, and emotions, and then affect the chemistry between the actor and the opponent actor. In response, the performance presented also has a huge gap in quality.

In other words, although the performances presented are all "entangled"-or confused, hesitant, timid, and other mixed emotions, the quality of the performance may be completely different, which further affects the subtle differences in the overall perception and affects the audience. The experience of watching movies has more impact.

Gradually, gradually, Rooney's eyes brightened, she muttered to herself, even without Renly’s dialogue, she could complete her thinking, and she could clearly perceive that the energy of the aura around her entire body had changed. It had to be warm and bright, which also meant that her thoughts had finally returned to normal, and the confusion and confusion were slowly disappearing. Then, she began to read the script again, her eyes visibly firmer.

Rooney was so immersed in the world of the script; and Lan Li didn't say much, picked up the children's book on the desktop again, and read it again.

"You drove here by yourself?" Rooney's thoughts finally sorted out, raising her head and watching Lan Li quietly, her smile couldn't help but rise.

"Yeah." Lan Li replied in a deep voice, only to find that Rooney's gaze was still on him, which caused his gaze to leave the children's book in his hand, "Why, do you doubt my self-driving ability?"

Rooney did not deny that the smile in her eyes slowly overflowed, "According to Matthew's intelligence, you are a physique that can turn off the engine and fail the start, so it is not suitable for self-driving. It is best to have a driver when you go out. Accompanied by him, he also handed over the responsibility of the driver to me earnestly, didn't he?"

"..." The fellow Matthew, Lanly slumped his shoulders speechlessly, "Yes. He is correct. But this time from New Orleans to Cincinnati, my car only broke down twice, and I didn't get lost, although it was exhausting. It took a third longer than expected, but I arrived safely!"

Looking at Lan Li who was earnestly defending, Rooney's smile rose slightly, and she nodded her head repeatedly to express her appreciation, "Fortunately, this time Andy was not allowed to use the positioning system." Is this... praise? "Why did you suddenly think of coming to visit the class? I thought that the recent shooting schedule is very tight. Isn't that Disney movie also waiting for you to start it? If you sneak here like this, if Disney and Universal Pictures know it, it would be bad. "

Rooney was also joking seriously~lightnovelpub.net~ Lan Li carefully looked at the smile in Rooney's eyes, and said calmly, "Because I miss you."

"Huh", in an instant, Rooney's cheeks turned red, so hot that she was about to drip blood, and she didn't even dare to look directly at Lan Li. It's rare to see that Lan Li suddenly began to talk about love, and he still didn't blush and said such nasty words. This feeling is really...

"Ha. Ha. The level of cold jokes has dropped." Rooney herself didn't know what she was talking about.

Lan Li had the upper hand in an instant, and still had a serious face, "I'm serious. Because I miss you, I drove over from New Orleans, just want to see your eyes."

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Rooney could clearly hear the sound of the heart hitting her chest. In an instant, it seemed that the whole world brightened up, and then she fell in love again.
