The first is Hoffman's performance, which is really dazzling and passionate! It is not too much to say that the whole film is supported by him alone. The interpretation of the characters is lifelike, three-pointed but full of fun, once again creating a classic character image. His lines, design, expressions, and gestures are all in place, and he is fully qualified for his role at the beginning of the movie-acting teacher. It can be clearly seen that several supporting actors are driven by him to perform, but he has to work very hard to barely keep up. This is the king of actors and dramas. Unlike many actors nowadays, they are called acting if they know how to play, and they are called senior if they don't act in the same way.
Speaking of Dustin Hoffman, that was the perfect example of the top acting superstars of the last century and the professional benchmark for every male actor. With a height of 1.66 meters, he is far from handsome and has a straightforward temper. He was once reduced to being a caretaker and a dishwashing worker in a mental hospital. None of these have become an obstacle to his success. Finally, he steadily and steadily moved to the top of the performing arts industry step by step. .
From this point of view, his background and experience are very similar to those of Hollywood actress Meryl Streep. So in 1979, when these two idiots played together, one can imagine the dramatic tension of the sparks, which brought us the masterpiece "Kramer Vs. Kramer". As a result, the two reached the top: Hoffman won the first Oscar winner (52nd), Streep won the only Oscar best supporting actress in his life (others are actresses)...
from the young From "The Graduate" to the distressed divorced dad, Hoffman finally achieved a positive result. While everyone was speculating on his next development direction, in 1982, he turned to take the risk to test the waters of such a light comedy. The result was also a big success. Not only did it sell well at the box office, but I was also nominated for the best actor at the 55th Academy Awards.
This kind of all-round actor who dares to try different roles and has won consecutive battles in various movie genres, and acted lightly, is really hard to come by!
Many small details in the movie are very careful.
For example, on the first day of acting, Dorothy went out to play in the early morning. The first two sounds were soft and false, but the taxi driver could not hear at all and drove by quickly; the third sound turned into a big hard man's throat in vain. The rental immediately stopped the car. Dorothy changed into a petite woman again, and stepped on high heels to get on the rental. It took less than 5 seconds in the middle, but several conversions were very accurate. Although it was a long-term view, it could be seen that his expressions and movements were well matched. The "Laughing Fruit" came out immediately, which made people feel relaxed and happy to see.
Because men pretend to be women, Hoffman's speech speed in this film has been significantly accelerated in order to adapt to the intricate characters and plot. Large conversations spurt out, sometimes erudite and sometimes playful, smooth and amused. It's just that other actors in the same crew can't help being "speeded up"-either they can't catch their breath, or they can remember the words, but they fall into the act and have a hideous expression. There are also tongue twisters like "Shandy thought I was a gay, Julie thought I was a lesbian", "Doroth was still heterosexual, and Li Si asked me to marry him", which made people laugh. .
This old movie is very fast-paced, there is almost no nonsense, no extra scenes, all in one go. This is almost the same as "Some Like it Hot", which ranks number one in the history of comedy films. But Monroe had to wait half an hour before she appeared on stage, and Hoffman began to dress up in less than 20 minutes.
Watching this film again after many years, the part advocating feminism has gradually faded. Suddenly, he felt that his female makeup looked very much like Addison, a female gynecologist in GA, with a long horse face, but without losing her femininity. That actor is not simple, so she later produced a spin-off drama for her alone, and it has been four seasons.
In addition, there are many later famous characters in it, which can be said to be star-studded. Such as:
Jessica Lange: Because the film won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Blue Sky won the Oscar, and the Big Fish in 2003 remained young and beautiful;
roommate Bill Murray: Lost in Translation Golden Globe Award winner, Groundhog Day, founded " Saturday Night Live, hosted by Oscar. He is also the only actor in this film who maintains his own style and does not perform with Hoffman's performance;
Makeup roommate Geena Davis: This is her screen debut, as well as The Accidental Tourist Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Commander in Chief Golden Globe Award, Thelma & Louise classic. Recently there are Stuart Little 1~3)……
