People born for acting

I wanted to watch this film many years ago but I couldn't get it. It is naturally impossible for street vendors to enter such a film. Even a decent DVD store has never seen it, and there is even no magical place like Taobao! Finally, I have to thank very omnipotent verycd for allowing me to see this film this year.

Except that the movie itself is my favorite type: the fate of a Jewish family runs through a period of history in Hungary, the expectation for this film is more in the multi-role performance of the protagonist Ralph Fiennes.

Although the facial contour, eyes, and figure are enough to make many actors who follow the idol route ashamed, it is estimated that few people will put him in the column of idol stars. I am afraid that even this name is not very famous in China.

The fascination with this British man began with "The English Patient", and after that, as long as he participated in the film, he would almost always look for it. Ralph Fiennes is really good at acting. Although the roles are very different, most of them have very complicated mental activities, sensitive, passionate, cold, gentle... He can bring the contradictions and fickleness of human nature to the extreme. Often you will think this person is terrible, especially the deep and amazing eyes and the cold expression that seems to be inhumane; but in the next second, he has become the most gentle lover again, seemingly stupid. Nothing to speak of. But these neurotic behaviors and thoughts do not make you feel annoying in such a person, but instead become an unpredictable temperament.

Ralph Fiennes' superb acting skills may be related to his background in stage play. In the West End of London, I watched him play a pastor who betrayed his relatives because of his faith. That kind of stage tension is really contagious. He is really suitable for acting those things that discuss human nature, life and death, good and evil. It is really a waste of him to act in commercial films. .

I have never thought about understanding the history of Hungary, but I always feel that it is gray and gloomy. Even when I am on the streets of Budapest, I have an indescribable depression. It is special.

We've seen too many stories about war and Jews (Ralph Fiennes appears in such films so frequently! "Kidler's List", "Reader"), including "Gloomy Sunday" which I just watched It is also a Jewish story that took place in Budapest. It is really said that "happiness is roughly the same, and each misfortune has its own misfortune." Those sufferings should not be forgotten, although every time history is revisited, it makes people speechless. The dilemma between faith and freedom is really beyond evaluation. This topic feels heavy when I think about it, not to mention it.

Sunshine quotes

  • Ivan Sors: For the first time in my life, I walked down the street without feeling like I was in hiding. My great grandfather Emmanuel must have been the last Sonnenschein to feel like this. I knew the only way to find meaning in my life, my only chance in life, would be to account for it. My grandmother's words return to me; "Try to photograph what's beautiful in life." By the time I finish this story, the third tragic misadventure of the 20th century was over. After the monarchy and fascist rule, the communist regime also went up in smoke. I remembered the recipe book that we had lost and suddenly realized that the family secret was not to be found on its pages. It was preserved by my grandmother. The only one in our family who had the gift of breathing freely.
