I don't believe that the fan filter can really make a person have no basic ability to distinguish. Especially an actor who is known for his acting skills, is really omnipotent, can he play any role well?
I've seen too many of Burton's plays, and sometimes it's really easy to see if he's doing it with all his heart, and sometimes it's just okay for the money.
For example, in these four plays, he gave me the feeling that there were no male secondaries or female supporting roles that performed well. Maybe he didn't act seriously, maybe he acted seriously, but the other party is more powerful than him. This is really his weakness.
one
"Broken Heart Flower", his Hollywood debut, is very young and has no connotation. He is a simple and immature young man. The heroine de Havilland's acting skills are obviously better than him. When he appeared in the black and white film, the whole person was completely The light is shining, the eyes are particularly content, and people can't help but be attracted to her.
two
He is really serious about Dominating the World. However, he is in a transitional stage in film performance. He is eager to remove his excessively exaggerated body movements from his film works as an outstanding theatrical actor. Lift weights lightly and take full control of the situation with complete calm.
However, because he is too serious, if he is not proficient in this kind of performance, it is inevitable that he will overcorrect and go too far.
His Beckett was too restrained, as if he was always paralyzed on the face, paralyzed on the ground regardless of the occasion or situation, and didn't even react outwardly because of inner fluctuations. This makes Beckett's sudden betrayal of Heng-ji to become a devout believer of God very abrupt. He didn't even tell the audience why this happened with his eyes and expressions.
It's like the only criticism of the '64 Hamlet is that he was acting so passionately that some of the passion seemed out of place.
In this film, it is because his facial paralysis is too much to be convincing and convincing, so that the audience can understand why he broke with Heng Er and why he went all the way to the dark, so I only feel sorry for Heng Er when I see the ending. No sympathy for Beckett at all.
In contrast, Peter O'Toole's performance is more layered, more flexible, and significantly more appealing than his.
three
"A Generation of Couples" is purely "actors will always produce some defective products in order to eat food" (he said it himself), except for a handsome face, there is basically nothing attractive. On the contrary, Margaret Trutherford, the old female supporting actress, is impressive, and he and Taylor are lined into a pair of vases. It is no wonder that this film won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Four
"Nie Hai You Long" is another work that is casually performed for the sake of eating and drinking. It is no wonder that he is always asked by reporters why he sold his soul to the movie and did not go back to the drama. This film has not been moved by his performance from beginning to end, but the performance of Alec Guinness, the old man and the actor, impressed me a lot, especially the part where the man dressed as a woman and dressed as a black aunt was absolutely amazing. The scene of drinking, chatting and sleeping with Burton in the cemetery before finally dying is very deep.
