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

Not a drama, but a movie, an art movie, or more accurately, an experimental art movie.

So, Tony Kaye is the director of "detachment"!

Tony is an alternative to the show business. He has directed only four works in his career, including the "Black Water Shipping Company". Because it touched the interests of some powerful groups, he was directly stopped and failed to complete the filming.

He always pays attention to sensitive social issues, such as the director’s debut "American X-Files", which focuses on racism and neo/Nazi issues; for example, the "abortion/pregnancy/right dispute" four years ago challenged religion People’s sensitive nerves. Both works have caused a lot of repercussions in the field of art, and the former has made Edward Norton's Oscar nomination for best actor.

And Karl Lund is no exception, "Transcendence" is the only work of his screenwriting career.

No wonder Lan Li didn't recognize the two people, no wonder Lan Li didn't react at all, no wonder Woody would be willing to match up. The three people in front of me are typical New York academies. They devote themselves to their own artistic creations. They have never compromised with Hollywood, and have never cared about Hollywood preferences.

"Transcendence" is such a work.

As introduced by Carl and Tony, there is another translation of "Transcendence", called "Human Shige". The film focuses on a teacher named Henry-Barthes and tells about his coming to a public school. Substitute story.

It's not the kind of inspirational stories in Japanese TV dramas, passionate teachers saving bad students; it's the cruel stories that reflect social reality, and the desperation 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 suffering from obesity and domestic violence, and a female student who suffered repeated violence from prostitutes and clients. Treated by homeless chicks/prostitutes.

The three of them all sought Henry's help to varying degrees, but Henry himself was deeply stuck.

When he was a child, he witnessed his mother's suicide, and his grandfather blamed him for the fault, immersed in his own grief and unable to extricate himself, allowing Henry to fend for himself. The shadow of childhood made him start to protect himself, shut down the emotional communication between himself and other people, and faced the world with indifference and alienation. He became a teacher, talented, but never stayed in a school for a long time, avoiding the emotional connection between himself and the students, and always staying as a substitute teacher between different schools.

In these three women, each of them embodies the consequences of family education and social influence. This is a movie about education and society, but in the final analysis, this is still a movie about family, telling the family’s influence on each other. An indelible and profound influence of a child.

Faced with 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. It uses interviews to examine the problems encountered in modern American education through the perspectives of different teachers; it uses a monologue to express the characters’ inner babble and struggle, and the rough film texture. , Shaking hand-held cameras and strong use of colors reflect the status quo of the entire society by digging into the depth of the character’s thoughts.

Such experimental performance techniques are more suitable for stage plays, but even in stage plays, a large number of inner monologues are often immersed in a boring dilemma, let alone movies.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is not a likable movie, or even a disgusting movie. Because Tony focused all the shots on that kind of struggling state, after magnifying the emotions to the extreme, it was almost breathless.

This is a movie that reveals the cold from the bones.

It is also a work of despair to the extreme. 2016's "Manchester by the Sea" is more restrained and smarter. It confines all despair in the character's body, slowly permeating out, and the endless cold seems endless. , Never see the border, people shed tears.

Casey-Affleck (Casey-Affleck), who played the leading role, successfully won the Oscar winner.

And "detachment" uses a magnifying glass to explode every detail, crying no sound, no tears, as if sinking slowly when drowning, gradually moving away from the light on the water, slowly being swallowed by darkness, the movie will be The whole process has been slowed down ten times faster and presented, 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 obscure, focusing on emotion Outline.

In other words, when Tony was shooting this work, he didn't intend to make the audience like it. It was completely artistic, showing a state of "detachment", just like a dream and chattering.

The fact is also true. After the release of "Delta", it was subjected to the extreme test of ice and fire. The media review was only 52 points, and there is still a long way from the passing line. Supporting film critics pursued the sky, and rejected film critics. It reprimanded the sky; IMDB's senior movie fan ratings are also the same, hovering on the edge of eight points, unable to go up, but not down.

The awards have also proved this point. The Golden Globes, Oscars, and mainstream award ceremonies in Cannes have fallen completely, and no one even mentioned it; but in European small film festivals, independent spirit awards, and Woodstock Film Festival On such art platforms, they have received a series of awards, but no one pays attention and naturally no one knows.

As for the box office of the movie? It was only shown on the art theater line for three weeks, and then it was hurriedly offline. The video distribution market did not improve. It was piled up in the corner and accumulated dust. In the end, the box office of the movie was only 70,000 US dollars.

Seventy thousand, not even one hundred thousand, really lost money to the point of no return, and even the veteran **** audience of the art theaters did not buy it.

There is no doubt that this is an art film that has been completely ignored, completely rejected, and completely disgusted. But such works are countless in New York's off-Broadway. It is these bold, novel, sharp, and special works that form the basis of art.

It's like "America's Past".

Italian director Serigo-Leone (Serigo-Leone) waited 13 years to prepare for the filming of this work, even earlier than the "Godfather" series, and spent almost all of Sergio's efforts. And ideas; but when the work was released that year, due to the castration and editing of the film company, it was scolded by film critics and audiences. Not only did it fail at the box office, but it also didn't get any recognition in terms of art.

In the end, it directly led to Sergio's depressed death, and a generation of film masters died in their hometown with regret and sadness.

It was not until ten years later, when Sergio himself was the first director's version edited with a Proust structure to come out, that people discovered the wonderfulness of this film; 30 years later, "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​further became a gangster The absolute classic masterpiece that cannot be replaced in the epic, even surpassed the "Godfather" and "Old Guy", and became the favorite of countless film critics and audiences.

It was called "the greatest failure in Hollywood history."

There are many reasons why "The Past in America" ​​is ignored. Film companies are a part that cannot be ignored. However, in history, even without the intervention of film companies, because of their artistic attributes, they are far away from the public aesthetics, and even deviate from the aesthetics of film critics. This led to being neglected by the times, and people only re-taste the only one of them after waiting for the time to lift the ban. There are countless cases of this kind.

"Xiangren", "Blue Velvet", "Sisters of Sid", "Muholland Road", "Death Illusion", "The Alien", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Guess the Train", "I This is true of my own Idaho, "Fight Club", "Blade Runner" and so on.

Of course, it's not that Lanly praised the movie "detachment".

In fact, on the contrary, Lanly does not like "detachment" and is even a bit repulsive, not only because the process of watching the movie is very dull, and it is too unfriendly to the audience; but also because the emotions in the movie are too deep and too strong, even if A normal person can also see depression, let alone his condition in the previous life?

However, the angle of appreciation as an audience is completely different from the angle of observation as an actor ~www.novelhall.com~.

From the standpoint of an actor, playing Henry Bacht is a daunting challenge. Because all the shots are aimed at the emotion of the actor, and the emotion is magnified to the extreme, the slightest change is presented.

This is not the same as "buried alive". Henry's emotions are trapped in place, he will not struggle, he has given up struggling, all emotions are drawn inward, and then inwardly, but he needs to have a camera that can shock The kind of deep and delicate. There is no doubt that the difficulty of performing is greater.

This is not the same as "Manchester by the Sea". Although both characters are immersed in sad despair, the former is more anger and sadness of refusing to compromise with himself, while Henry is like a trapped beast, trying to walk. He went out, but couldn't find an exit, so he gave up resistance.

More importantly, because of Tony’s shooting methods, Henry’s despair requires richer layers and more changeable details. If it is just pure sadness or despair, the thickness and depth of the film cannot reach the height, that kind of exquisiteness. The change is the ultimate challenge for any actor. It is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of performing "detachment" even exceeds that of "Manchester by the Sea".

To put it simply, crying has to be full of tricks. Each tear has a different emotion and a different level.

This is expressive acting. The role of Henry does not need methodological substitution, because Tony just stayed at a point in the story. Just now he told Lanly all the background stories of the character; what he needs is a solid foundation and vigor of expressionism. Deduction, the difference between a look, often determines the final depth of the character.

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