While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone. 【Full text reading】

This was once the miserable situation of the people in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. In contemporary society, people hardly see such miserable situation. Lan Li is not an innocent, innocent, wealthy elder brother. He knows that in Africa there are still countless people facing the dilemma of hunger and cold, and countless people in the Middle East are still struggling to survive under the flames of war. Even the United States has strong feelings. The rich and the poor are divided, and the scene in the slums is a mess.

However, Lan Li never believed that he would see the pictures in Du Fu's poems with his own eyes.

Two days before the official shooting of Transcendence, Lan Li saw the prostitute/girl again and she died. He died in a gloomy alley with a trash can just two steps away. Flies and stray dogs were swimming beside the corpse. You could even see wet mice running around. However, no one cares.

Lan Li called "911" and notified the police to come and deal with it. This human tragedy came to an end. What is even more chilling is that this is not an exception, even in the bustling New York, this situation is still happening every day.

In a daze, Lan Li seemed to see the carer, the carer who was falling apart and overwhelmed, the carer who was vacant and fragile with tears in his eyes, the carer who was exhausted and tortured, who was shivering under Henry's severe condemnation. Shaking caregiver. In her, he saw Henry, the deep despair and stiff numbness so familiar.

Henry is the weak, and the caregiver is also the weak, but the two weak are still hurting each other: she ignored her grandfather's request, letting the sick people who were suffering from the disease continue to perish; he ignored her exhaustion and heaviness, recklessly He vented all his anger. The two weak, but on top of each other's scarred bodies, poked one wound after another.

In the carer, Henry not only saw himself, but also the group of students in the school, saw Meredith, saw Sarah, and saw the students who stubbornly resisted life but were bruised and bruised.

They are all weak in life, or in other words, they are all forsaken of God.

In this terrible society, there is no hope, even if there is no trace of it. The cruel reality eats up their vitality and soul bit by bit. Some people tried to resist, some tried to escape, some People tried to struggle, some tried to vent, some tried to accept

But in the end, everything doesn't matter, because they can't see the way out, even if they accept it with downcasts, but the bitter mouth, the pain and the sadness still torment them, and their lives will not change any more. easy. No one knows where the end is, and no one knows whether he can stick to the end, he can only live like a walking dead, just alive.

Even Henry himself. He was deceiving himself, giving the children a little hope, expecting them to reach the end, but he was unwilling to shoulder the responsibility. When the relationship got closer, he fled in embarrassment. Just reminding himself in such a despicable and shameful way that he is still alive, not alive with a zombie, at least he is still alive with a purpose.

But tonight, all the masks were torn apart. He saw the weakness of his grandfather, he saw the push of the nurse, he saw the darkness of society, and the endless night would never go out. The inner displacement and helplessness dragged his ankle bit by bit into the abyss, and his emotions collapsed, completely collapsed.

He hated himself, hated life, hated society and hated living even more. Life is really too long, lacking the courage to die and the motivation to live, every day of life is like suffering. So does the identity of the teacher, this layer of disguise, have any meaning?

Lan Li's footsteps stopped, he understood, he finally understood.

despair. This is the core of this scene. It is not sadness or pain, but despair, despair of grandfathers, despair of society, despair of education, despair of self. That kind of despair erupted from the inside out, releasing the pain that had been suppressed for a long time deep in my heart heartily. The cry of collapse was not only because of sadness, but because of the last illusion of maintaining normal life A trace of fantasy was also shattered, the cruel reality invaded, and the overwhelming despair made his emotions completely fall apart.

Because of my grandfather, because of nurses, because of students, because of myself, because of mother, because of society, because of life.

At this desperate moment, Henry saw the scene on the bus: a young girl/prostitute was serving a drunk alcoholic, without any cover, just like the absurdity of Italy. Comedy-like, cruel and ironic, cold and joking, showing the dilapidation and darkness of society **** in front of Henry.

The darkness of despair hit Henry's soul quickly, fiercely, accurately and violently. All the sorrows abruptly ceased, all the tears ceased abruptly, and the broken soul became dying, almost unable to breathe. Then he calmed down again, numbly, stiffly, and apathetly, looking at all this in front of him quietly. Fatal despair, even the pain has begun to fail.

Throughout the context of the entire script, Henry had always maintained a relatively positive attitude before this night, and once again devoted himself to the teaching of the new school. He met Sarah and Meredith. He was within his own power. Within the scope, once again tried to use education to guide those students in dire straits.

But this time, the despair was like a punch, awakening him in one go. This made him start to re-examine his useless work. He realized that he had been broken, and even he could not be redeemed. How could he redeem others? As a result, he began to distance himself quietly. The reason he did not leave was only because he lacked the courage to sever himself, so he repeated the previous cycle like a walking corpse, continuing to live in pain, suffering, and inertia.

It can be seen from the scenes after that that Henry has always kept his distance from Meredith. Even before Meredith’s desperate call for help, he curled up in his shell like a tortoise; and faced Ai. With Rika’s proactive attack, Henry passively gave help. He just couldn’t bear it and provided an eaves. Then he and Erica made three chapters, deliberately keeping a distance from each other. After getting along, he realized that the two people had already Established contact, Henry cut off in time, found the government/government rescue agency, and picked Erica away.

This was a turning point, but it was not because Henry met Erica. But because Henry truly tasted despair, despair of despair. The kind of despair that can't be seen in the entire dark society.

From the perspective of performance alone, the effects of presentation will not differ greatly, because the context of the performance is still the same; but from the origin of the performance, it is quite different.

Lan Li’s performance just now was based on an emotional outburst, from the weakness and embarrassment of his grandfather, from the guilt and sadness after scolding the caregiver, and from the darkness and coldness of his mother in memory, the kind of homelessness. The loneliness and loneliness of returning led to a cry of collapse. This is similar to the performance of Adrian Brody in the previous life, but it is also a performance that Lan Li tried to change.

The correct performance should be based on desperate torture.

He realized his self-deception, about his grandfather, about his mother, about the caregiver, about the school, and about the society. That kind of despair is like a heavy fist, brutally defeating all the masks and protections, revealing the most fragile and true side of oneself, and his emotions are too suppressed and too fierce to be able to control himself.

All emotions stem from despair, the embarrassment and suffocation trapped in the social reality, the helplessness and heaviness pressed in the reality of life, which detonated all emotions.

At the end of despair, he saw Erica. The self who used to be, the self who has been tortured by society, the self who walked alone in the dark life, the self who lost confidence in life because of despair This is more than just the relationship between Erica and Henry. At the same time, it also links the time point of Erica's appearance with the overall core of the script, reflecting the dilemma of education and the disaster of society.

In other words, this scene is a scene that allows the emotional transfer and sublimation of the whole script to be coherent, including after this ~www.novelhall.com~ Henry's indifference to Erica and rejection, even cruelty, can all be done. Looking for clues, let the core of the story become complete and deep.

Analyzing from the academic standpoint, the context of performance is different.

Prior to this, the context of Lan Li’s performance was "sadness-more sadness-despair-numbness". This kind of performance has enough levels, the emotion is clear and in place, but it lacks a clear main line, and it is even more unable to go deeper into the theme. .

After sorting out his thoughts, Lan Li’s performance context should be "despair and self-blame-pain and sobriety-numbness and suffering". Following this main line, it can be further developed into "self-protection alienation and indifference, sadness or indifference. Containment began to show slowly.” Simply put, on the bus, emotions have undergone earth-shaking changes, and leaving the bus, the whole person's temperament and state have also changed.

The main line of the entire performance is complementary to the script, and conforms to the director’s ideas, further digs into the depth of the core theme, and truly completes the movie. This is what Lan Li has been pursuing, which is different from the previous life of Adrian. The version interprets Tony's intentions and interprets the story with characters according to Lan Li's own ideas.

This is the last piece of the puzzle! It is also the most important piece!
