Because I watched a few Hugh Grant movies like crazy a while ago, they are also from the UK, they really look a bit like~~ Maybe it's because in the movie The exaggeration of august rush's musical talent actually reminds me of Tim Ross in the pianist at sea, the ability to control music, the demeanor of being immersed in music is very similar~~ I
suddenly became interested in this little boy , and then post a little bit of his information here for further understanding:
Born on February 14, 1992, London, England
, Haimer's father from London is an actor, and the two are still in the TV series Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story played father and son. In 2004, he collaborated with Johnny Depp on Finding Neverland, in which he played Peter, the kid who inspired Depp's Peter Pan prototype. His performance in the film shocked Depp, so when working with his old partner Tim Burton in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", Depp recommended Highmore to play the kind-hearted poor boy Charlie in the film. As a result, his performance did not disappoint everyone, and more and more people got to know this simple and lovely British actor. Although 2006 was full of film appointments, he said he would no longer be an actor when he grew up.
And behind-the-scenes August Obsession:
a "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" that made the humble Freddie Highmore in "Finding Neverland" quickly one of the hottest child stars, and later in "One". "Good New Years" and "Arthur and His Mini-Kingdom" have performed very well, but even Heimer himself said that from TV to film, he has never experienced anything like this "August Love". change" such a huge role.
When Freddie Highmore interprets the role of August Rush, the biggest challenge he faces is how to grasp the essence of music at a young age, especially as a native of London, England. City boy, how can we understand the state of mind of an orphan living in rural America like August? "This movie was really the biggest test I've ever had, especially as a British kid of my standard trying to do all the dialogue in American English, and playing guitar in a lot of the scenes, of course," said Heimer. , including conducting the ensemble... Maybe it's easier to just make the guitar with your hands and then do the dubbing, and I don't see a difference, but I really want to be able to actually play it because I I don't even know what I'm doing, how can I convey emotion to the audience through the image?"
Let 15-year-old Freddie Highmore, who speaks in a standard London accent, play the role entirely in an American accent. A film does sound a little incredible, but Haimo said that the process of learning a language is actually quite interesting: "Before the official start of filming, they hired a pronunciation teacher for me. Since then, I have I forced myself to pronounce every word in an American accent, whether I was filming or not, and I didn't even go home during that time, so I pretended that I was an orphan with no home. Practical results. When learning becomes an environment and eventually a habit, plus we are filming on the ground in New York, surrounded by Americans, that's the best review."
Freddie Hay Mo is the smallest main actor in the film, but he needs to learn the most. In addition to correcting his accent, he also has to practice the guitar diligently. Although Haimo imagines everything as a kind of fun, it will inevitably be a little harder. He said: "Musically, it's more troublesome. I can't make a surprise attack. I have pre-trained guitar lessons for 6 months, of course, mainly focusing on the few songs I will play in the movie. Now let me sell one. Xiaoguanzi, I just want to say that I have really achieved good results, and the scenes related to the guitar are all done by me."
If you watch the film carefully, you will find one of the small details. When August, who does not know the instrument but is summoned by music, "original" a kind of string playing when he first picked up the guitar style, Freddie Highmore said of this: "The first thing I want to say is that this method was not invented by me, but I learned it from a guitarist named Michael Hedges. He made good use of this trick. Although August in the film is a musical genius, he doesn't know what E major or G major is, so he can only use some unimaginable The way these sounds are made -- the use of 'string strikes' here, I think is very appropriate."
