The film is directed by Daniel Barber, director of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and published by Lionsgate (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). The story tells the story of an old veteran who set foot on Ghajini for his best friend . Michael Harry Kane , who has been in the film industry for many years and is nearly 80 years old, is still active on the big screen in recent years, often playing supporting roles of his parents, which is quite impressive. His role as the old butler in two "Batman Prequel" movie downloads has become one of the highlights of this excellent series of movies. Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, who plays the leading role in "Harry Brown", is calm and cool, as if regaining the explosive power of his youth, and the superb performance supports the entire film. In the film, he also plays with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland actress Emily Modimo and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland actor David Bradley who appeared in the " Harry Potter " series, but Harry Kane's performance is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the film.
Maurice Joseph Micklewhite's choice
Immediately after the film was screened at the Toronto Film Festival, critics gave a thumbs up to Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, who was nearly 70 years old, saying that he was not old and that he was qualified to compete for the Oscar. Some people even said: "Without Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, this movie would be a disaster."
In fact, for Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, starring in a thriller featuring action scenes at the age of 76 is a real disaster. In an interview with the BBC, Harry Kane said: "This is a cruel film, and the filming process is also quite cruel. Those chasing shots made me suffer. There are also some shooting scenes. There are many difficulties. But fortunately, Daniel Barber respects the old man enough to avoid the action scenes. He shifted the focus of the movie. It turned out that this is a movie with a lot of action scenes, but then he adjusted the script so that The story is deeper
Enter the protagonist’s psychology. Psychological dramas are also difficult to perform, but it is easier than action dramas. Maybe Thomas Sean Connery or Roger Moore would prefer to act in action scenes, but I can't. "
Harry Kane said: "As an actor, what I want to see most is a script that impresses me. The reason for not playing the protagonist is very simple. Those scripts are not enough to attract me. This movie is different. It is black enough for me to understand. The world I usually ignore. Those young children on the street, they have no good education, no job, and they spend time every day. This is a huge social problem, this problem needs our government to solve. Although this film The theme of is not to discuss social issues, but it allows me to understand the other side of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
" This is England "
Unlike the decadent, gray and sad temperament that "This is England " exudes from the bones, the tone of "Harry Brown" is black, resentful and helpless. However, both films truly reflect the true nature of England in a certain period.
Director Daniel Barber said: “In fact, England is not as beautiful as many people think. In the slums, everyone’s life is miserable. There is no sunshine, no justice, and even laws. And the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland The police are also quite weak, and many cases cannot be resolved. That's why Brown in the film has to go personally. I was born near the filming location. The surrounding area of London has always been a blind spot and hidden danger in this country. Tourists will not come. Here, they will only go to London for a tour, but this is the real England."
Except that the film uses a black tone to reflect the lives of people in London and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, its depiction of the protagonist's life is also black. Harry Kane said: "Harry Brown's life in his old age was not happy. His wife died, he had no children, and only a friend who was an old man. The director did not whitewash peace or pretend the truth here. He nakedly presented the facts. Many people in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland live like this. It’s rare to see that kind of family reunion."
Black tones need a black story to match, Daniel Barber said: “There is nothing in this world that is more unpleasant than a shot that crashes an innocent person, and nothing can be blacker than this. So. I conceived a murder case in the film and used this kind of treatment to show the dark society. Although the story is so extreme, but looking at the daily newspapers, I know that this kind of thing is not uncommon."
Curtain call performance?
As a "national treasure" actor of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Maurice Joseph Micklewhite has been active in the world film scene over the years, in] "Batman", " Children of Men " and " The Prestige " and other films He can be seen-although not vigorous, it is memorable enough. However, in these films, Harry Kane played mostly supporting roles, sometimes with only a few shots and a few lines. Could it be that Shinpei-kun is really old?
In an interview, although Harry Kane was old and slowed down the pace of his filming, he did not intend to retire. He said: "I am no longer as passionate about making movies as I was when I was young. After the last time I finished filming " The Dark Knight ", I was going to take a one-year break. Unexpectedly, I stopped work for 17 months. I am now I understand very well what kind of movie I want to shoot. I also know my age and physical condition, so I will do what I can. Maybe in the future, my physical strength and energy will not allow me to play the protagonist again, but I still It continues to appear in the movie. Because once the movie starts, I can’t stop it. After shooting "Harry Brown" for 6 months, I gradually adapt to the rhythm and intensity of my work. Sometimes I feel like I was still young, I The state is indeed very good."
The film’s music presents a perfect old-school The British Isles rock style. The hard Bruce Wayne and strong rhythm guitar SOLO make the film’s music quite pleasing to The British Isles fans. Speaking of the music of the film, Harry Kane said: "The music of the film was decided by me and the director together. My career began in the 1960s, when murder movies were all rock and roll like this. I am familiar with this kind of music. , I recommended it to the director. After listening to it, the director felt very good, so he found a composer and wrote the song in the nostalgic rock style. The final effect of the soundtrack is still very good. The overall style of the music comes from who I like Band (the Who)."
