Regarding Ralph Fiennes, the most talked about is naturally his eyes. No matter what words are used to describe it, it is always reasonable. Yes, those eyes are unforgettable after seeing them once. It is precisely because of the accurate expression of the subtext in his eyes that his depression and forbearance alone make it more heartbreaking. It is the kind of pain that directly points to the inner core, which is more silent than sound.

December 22, 1962 was born in the UK Suofu Ke • Ralph Fiennes, grew up is a warm heart looks quiet but talkative handsome boy, his father was a self-taught photographer, mother keen fiction and Travels The eldest of the six siblings, although he was influenced by the cultural atmosphere of his family, he did not go to elementary school due to the poverty of his family. Introverted, he always hides aside and quietly looks at his partner at children's gatherings, or plays with his own puzzles. When he was eight years old, he received his mother’s birthday gift as a box of videotapes of Shakespeare’s famous play "Hamlet" starring the drama master Lawrence Olivier. This videotape immediately made him fall in love with him. He graduated from high school in 1982. It was through a monologue in "Hamlet" that he was admitted to the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Ralph Fiennes successfully entered the Royal Shakespeare Company by taking the lead in Shakespeare’s famous plays "Romeo and Juliet" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and quickly became a striking new star. The stage performances made his acting skills mature and gradually showed his unique advantages-excellent comprehension ability, accurate body language and good control of the plot, and his always silent and melancholic character is his unique charming temperament.

Although the performance was mediocre in the first film "Wuthering Heights", it has attracted the attention of world filmmakers such as American director Steven Spielberg. In the same year, another film "Lawrence of Arabia" showed his talent and great potential. Sure enough, "Schindler's List" four years later made the world film history remember the name Ralph Fiennes forever. With his outstanding performance in the film "Sin", he won his first Oscar nomination when he was 32 years old (1994). In the next two years, the two films "End of the Century Panic" and "The English Patient" received constant praise, and it was the latter that made him nominated for an Oscar again. Similarly, this time "The English Patient" won the best Oscar. Film awards.
In "Schindler's List", Ralph Fiennes, who plays the Nazi officer Geoff, has yet to have the fascinating eyes that he has now, but he shows his inner contradiction under the calm appearance to the fullest. When Schindler used the fire faucet to spray water to cool the workers in the compartment, he sat next to the compartment and watched all this and mocked Schindler with "cruel". This mockery reminded him of the time when he shot the Jews. After a lot of unbridled laughter, he looked at Schindler’s busyness with a dull expression, his eyes were filled with blank spaces, and his inner self-examination was questioning his soul in speechlessness. For a Nazi officer, if If the soul still exists. The same lingering impression is the monologue in the basement to Helen, the maid of Jujai, which is incoherent, but always maintains a slow and casual tone, even too much. The words that were swallowed again, and finally lost his mind, vented frantically, portraying the inner world of a Nazi officer to the extreme.
I remember that when Steven Spielberg talked about making Ralph appear in Schindler’s List, he praised him without hesitation and said: "When it came to the test shot, I knew he was indeed the person I wanted. . You can see how the cordial smile in his eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a terrifying coldness." The film "Sin" became a movie classic, and Ralph became famous as the main actor in the film industry, and he has since set foot on the world. To a large extent, the road to the Silver Dream Workshop has to be thanked by the great director for his insight.
In "The British Patient", Olmashi, a historian who conducted geological surveys in Africa during World War II, seems to have found his most suitable role-forbearance, strong professionalism, rich heart but not good at expressing. , A man who loves a woman silently. The scene in the movie where he held his dead wife crying without tears in the cave is believed to be still fresh in the memories of countless fans. It can be seen in his subsequent films that he is working hard to portray the role he is best at. The hare lips in "The Silent Lamb: The Red Dragon", the mentally ill with a hideous "red dragon" on his body, the blind American diplomat in "The Countess", the "Manhattan Maid" (although this The movie is not good), the handsome and unrestrained politicians, the mild-tempered and gentle diplomats in "The Immortal Gardener", one is more brilliant and vivid than one, and those eyes are also remembered by more people. Among these characters, silent dramas that convey the characters' inner feelings through body language and facial expressions always occupy a considerable proportion. After watching them, everyone has to admit: silent is always better than sound.
In the third
"Red Dragon", his rivalry with Edward Norton only has the last few minutes. However, the two people's performance styles are too similar, unavoidable that demanding fans can compare them. Ralph is better than Plays a calm and steady role, while Norton is a versatile player with a broader play. But in comparison, I like Ralph more. In "Into the Valley" (selected in the "A Concern" unit at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival), the American cowboy played by Edward Norton is facing the contradiction between the pursuit of love and the reality of life. Obviously, you should learn from Ralph if you show inner torture during the conflict.
In addition to his own personality, Ralph's acting style should be largely attributed to the influence of his experience in theatrical performances at the Shakespeare Theatre. Because of his dedication, this unsocial fellow broke up with his married wife after eight years of chasing him. Then, I got together with Francesca Anis, who played the role of a mother in "Hamlet", who was seventeen years older than herself. It was this woman who made the image of Ralph Fiennes, who has always been ignorant of dealing with others. It's completely changed like a person. Just as the director of "The British Patient" said: "He loves her, and she loves him, this is the most critical issue."
