A movie can impress people in two main ways: to stimulate the emotions of the audience with the sense of storytelling, or to conquer the audience with pure performance. There are two kinds of conquering with performance, one is overwhelming strength, such as Meryl Streep or Al Pacino, and the other is to leave a lot of white space in the performance, like a Chinese landscape painting, and the remaining space is based on the audience’s own emotions. To fill. This movie uses the latter.
The story of Never Let Me Go is a nostalgic science fiction. The core is romance to death. It may be related to the background of the original author. It reveals the long sorrow of "unexpectedly choking silently" that is unique to the shareholder's culture. This introverted temperament is well matched with the British aura of the film, so that from the beginning to the end, both the actors and the viewers are holding their breath, and only the most complex and solemn emotions flow slowly in the exquisite picture, reaching a point more. The realm of redundancy.
Use the innocent and vigorous cheeks of children and young people to reflect the lingering shadows of death and destiny in the theme story from beginning to end. Just take those radiant eyes, no lines, no music, just It's heartbreaking enough. In the main cast, the triangle of Carey Mulligan, KK and Andrew Garfield is the essence of the film. Among these three people, Carey played a role in linking the past and the next and stabilizing the overall situation. KK's unsatisfactory acting for ten years became a cloud, bringing out the amazing performance of Andrew Garfield's scorching binoculars.
Garfield is extremely thin, but if you watch Social Network, you will be unforgettable with his amazing explosiveness. In the film, the emotional undercurrent between Tommy played by him and Kathy played by Carey has been superimposed on layers from childhood sweetheart to life and death for nearly a hundred minutes. If this kind of energy and emotional accumulation is not well controlled, it will appear at the end of the explosion. Extraordinarily blunt and pretentious. However, the camera moves seamlessly in their eyes, movements, and even their backs. Tommy's introverted fragility is fully revealed in his slanted shoulders and intermittent footsteps. After becoming a Donor, his humanity is released with joyful steps and bright eyes. Interpreted in. He and Kathy didn’t have much conversation and exchanges, but when they were silent, they were expressing emotions, relying on each other body, clenched hands, and Tommy’s leaning forward body eagerly when he was begging for hope, and the speed of speech. At the moment of truth, both hands immediately searched for Kathy's back grip. Some of these details were strengthened in the repetition, and some echoed back and forth, which paved the way for the final explosion in front of the lights.
I'm not ranting about the party. I usually avoid the hoarse rants of characters in movies for fear of hurting my eardrums. However, when Tommy first cried out, it made people hear the boundless darkness, the regret of the past, the fear of fate, the despair of asking for help, as if a trapped beast was struggling at the bottom of the well. Crack, cry with it. In the next second, Kathy's tight hug stopped the remaining roar that was too late to release, and then saw two stumbling figures grabbing each other with all their strength. The background is the dark dusk that is about to sink into the night, and there is only this moment between the sky and the earth. , The death embrace of each other can be regarded as the last bit of warmth that delays the cold death.
I waited for many years, and finally saw such a film that completely conquered me with the white space of the performance, and completely overwhelmed my movie with the boundless dark mood. I waited for many years, and finally waited until Garfield and Mulligan were actors who could only use the same young soul, who had to turn back and forth. Only at such a moment, I feel that facing a made-up story, the overwhelming sadness that flows out of my heart is a matter of course, and of course it is worthy of all kinds of unscrupulous rushes.
