Why is this film a typical performance of Edward Norton? Look at the two roles he played in the film, a pair of twin brothers Brady, who look the same, it seems that it is not difficult for this person to play two roles. But the two brothers are very different from personality to accent. Bill is a philosophy professor, his career is going well, he is humble, and his personality is a little boring. Brady, on the other hand, is a drug dealer, cunning, short-tempered, and full of chatter, but with a high IQ and can grow high-quality marijuana. And Norton's role in this is the typical performance he has made his name: split, as in "Fight Club", he is in a state of split character, although most of the time, the other side of his personality is presented by Brad Pitt on behalf of Law. , but at the last moment of reversal, the disintegration of that character was still very shocking by his performance. In 1996, in "First Degree Fear", which made him famous, his schizophrenic performance was even more vivid. Although he played the role of pretending to be mentally ill in the plot to try to get rid of the crime, but at the last reversal moment, he also presented a sense of schizophrenia. Thriller. Judging from these two performances, he usually shows this sense of division at the end. In "American X-Files", he dedicated the same person, different characters in two time periods, from the violence before prison. From racists to peaceful men after being released from prison, there is a strong contrast in personalities. In "Leaves of Grass", he went a step further, splitting simultaneously, and splitting all the way. Bill was tricked by his brother in the name of losing his life. Two guys who didn't look like twin brothers collided. Norton lets the different personalities of the two people show at the same time, and details such as the difference in accents test his acting ability.
"Leaves of Grass" has the typical contingency and absurdity of black humor. Brady wants his brother to pretend to be his idea. Let's take a look at the huge personality difference between the two. It's really incredible. However, it is the foreshadowing of the difference between the two in the early stage, which also makes the similar side of the two gradually appear. Brady tricked Bill into using a crossbow to kill him, but Bill was recognized as Brady beaten, and then Brady was killed in an accident. Once the rhythm of life is disrupted, it no longer follows the beat you are trying to control. From the beginning of the film, Brady is more like a person who loves and embraces life, and he is also a smarter person. He did not receive such a systematic education like Bill, but he seemed to enjoy himself and understood the philosophy of life. The film explained that the two brothers have a strange mother and a mother who would take drugs with her son. Bill, who deeply felt that his mother did not love him, seldom contacted his brother and mother after he became independent. It was not until an accident that he felt the existence of family affection. , but where did he know that he found his brother's madness when he came back. If we encounter a similar situation in life, I am afraid that more people will feel as crazy and annoyed as Bill, but in the film, you can always feel Brad's cuteness and dashing, always feel like a decent Bill His life seemed so dull and uninteresting in comparison. And Bill's escapism from his brother and mother makes us feel the horror of the so-called orthodox life, and this orthodox life is also extremely fragile. This is from Bill's bright future by the wayward action of a girl who has a crush on him. It's a mess, and the madness of the dentist under the pressure of life in the film is dramatic. And it was Brady's "madness" that gave Bill a chance to re-examine his life, his family, and his life with his own life. As twin brothers, the moment they were born was the same. What I always believed was that when a person was born, he was like a blank sheet of paper. It was the different experiences of growth, education, career, marriage and love acquired the day after tomorrow that shaped the big difference between us. , and this difference is so surprising in the eyes of two twin brothers who are so similar in appearance.
If Brady was a shot in the arm for Bill's reflection on life, then Janet, whom Bill met at Brad's house, was a bridge between two extreme lifestyles. She has a mainstream orthodox occupation such as a teacher, but she also loves life, is cheerful and enthusiastic, and loves poetry, which gradually warms Bill's restless heart. It's a warmth and a hope that life isn't always as divisive as Edward Norton's show, and there are often things we can do to make ourselves better and our families better. "Blades of Grass" is still a movie largely supported by Edward Norton, but it's by no means an empty movie. If you are interested, this video will definitely give you a good feeling.
