The TSN screening + Garfield QA at the Aero Theatre in Los Angeles on April 15th, the overall atmosphere was very good. Most of the people at the scene are fans who have watched TSN many times. The atmosphere is very lively. During the screening, there were countless laughs, exclamations (the first time the flowers appeared, the climax of the plot), and applause.
Garfield entered the theater near the end of the credits. He was in very good condition that night. Wearing a beige patterned sweater, it looked no different from the movie just finished. As soon as he sat down and picked up the microphone, an audience in the front row left. Garfield still shouted to her funny, "I don't think this movie is good too, but thank you for your support!" Then he talked to us. Come From Away, he made a joke with his American accent (Gaffey said that he mostly speaks English, but I don’t know why every time he says oh no, he cuts the American accent every second, and after speaking, he sticks to the microphone oh no several times ( .
The bottom of Silver Lake will be released in the United States this weekend. Before QA officially begins, we watched a trailer. After the end, Garfield talked about the film a bit, and then talked about popular culture and social network thinking from the bottom of Silver Lake. To TSN.
From the audience’s point of view, Garfield thinks TSN is a very wonderful film. From the actor’s point of view, it is a rare perfect experience (pure heaven for an actor). Vinci’s strict shooting has contributed to the film’s production. Perfect, every remake is to capture everyone's best performance, and Sorkin's control over the script makes him look forward to going to the set every day when shooting. Not every actor has this opportunity.
Garfield said: "There is also the opportunity to work with Jesse and work with all these people. I hope Jesse can be here now. I really hope he can be here tonight. Let’s talk about the experience of making this movie. ..." The host said that it was okay. They would invite Teacher Juan to come over. Garfield stretched out his arms and said to the theater, "He is right here!" (The host continued to comfort him after speaking. Put the microphone against your face and say I know i know.)
Speaking of the famous computer smashing scene, Garfield said that acting is like that sometimes. You know in your heart that you are acting, but your body does not know that it is not true. You repeat it over and over again, until it is on the verge of collapse, until the outbreak. For a moment, you completely forget that you are acting and are immersed in it physically and mentally, and Vinci wants to seize this moment (.
Speaking of the end of the movie, Garfield talked about his views on current social networks. The essence of social networks is to establish connections between people, but there are problems with interactions between people and social networks. Just like the ending of TSN, this is a movie about the relationship between people. Mark's final move is almost pathetic, but it raises a question-are we getting too deep? Later, Garfield told a short story about his encounter with the founder of Snapchat. Sometimes, these tech giants don’t seem to care much about the negative impact of their products on the public, while Garfield feels that we need more reflection, technology, or social networking. The role of the Internet in current life and its future direction.
When talking about the bottom of the Silver Lake, Garfield said that this is also an example of free will being manipulated by media culture. The script is more complicated and true, which reminds him of Suojin. The male protagonist lives in a bubble and is destroyed by this culture. The bottom of the Silver Lake is a story about how you should deal with if your dream is broken. The LA in it is like an empty La La Land.
The host asked Garfield, you are in an industry that often encounters money/fame vs. ideals. This is very similar to the field of science and technology. There is always a contradiction between making quick money and insisting on self. But Garfield said he thinks Money and ideals coexist, like an angel and a devil sitting on a person's shoulders at the same time. Maybe the angel wins today, and maybe the devil will have the upper hand tomorrow. Everyone wants to eat, they all like money, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, Garfield also said that he can be greedy sometimes hahaha.
When it comes to choosing roles, Garfield said that actors are like interpretation artists, the point being to show their own understanding of the work. The influence of actors lies in their choices. He believes that different actors are born for different roles, and he himself is also born for some specific roles, such as the Prior of angels in the United States, but sometimes you can’t fall into the role too deeply. . Garfield said that what he did was to try different roles and make different choices, and he now knows more about his suitable role and also knows how to refuse.
So far, Garfield has selected many characters based on real people and real stories, which are also related to his first movie. At that time, he was on a set of ordinary people. This pursuit of real characters and stories began at that time. . An audience in the theater asked him, is there any type of role he wants to play but has not yet played? Garfield said that he is already complete, because there is nothing better than the experience of TSN (you can't really become better after that). As an actor, he is very lucky and grateful for what he has along the way. He is also waiting. The next dream will come true, but I'm just not sure what that dream is.
(The actor that Garfield admires very much now is Daniel Day Lewis. He thinks that DDL's professional ability is fascinating and scary. If Garfield can meet him, I want to ask him if he is okay...)
The scene was very relaxed. When several audience members asked questions, Garfield answered jokingly. His favorite line in TSN is the twins’ line "Like my brother and I are in skeleton costumes chasing the Karate Kid around the high school gym." Then an audience member said that he particularly liked the scene of smashing computers because of that moment. He can resonate well with flowers. The emotional outburst, that feeling of betrayal, he has also encountered in his life, so he wants to know what Garfield thought in his heart when he played this scene?
Garfield first joked: "The relationship between me and Jesse on the set was very bad (some real dogshit behind the scene between Jesse and me), and I broke out during the shooting that day..."
But when filming that scene at the time, Garfield did find feelings from his own personal experience and life. He said: "I think betrayal is part of trust. Sometimes you only have to experience betrayal with one person before you can completely trust that person. It’s painful, but art is like this. You discover pain and you can create beauty from it."
———————————————————————————————————— After I came out, I stood outside the theater and watched the staff put The Social Network’s nameplates were removed one by one, and I suddenly felt very emotional. There are many audiences like me who have watched TSN 9 years ago and were more or less changed by this film. When the host QA, the phrase has always been ten years: you and the movie ten years ago, and you and the social network now.
In this movie ten years ago, most of the actors were still newcomers, and their careers had just started. Ten years later, they all had successful careers. Hammer, Joe, Mala... Mr. Juan continued to make movies and publish books, and they had children. , Garfield took the actor, and the new movie will soon be released nationwide.
I don't know when TSN will have a follow-up, or if there will be a next one, but as Garfield said, I am grateful for at least such an experience.
Because another summer is coming.
