Roman Polanski put it on the screen, and invited Judy Foster, Kate Winslet, Christopher Waltz, and John C. Riley four outstanding acting skills to send to the show, It's really enjoyable to see. Four typical modern people represented by the four roles.
Judy Foster is a scholar and writer who studies Africa. He loves art and regards herself as a civilized idealist. She was also the most pleasing in the beginning. But as the other three disagreed with or even ridiculed her idealism, the most ridiculous one was her husband. When her beloved picture album was soiled, she was completely out of control. It can be said that Kate's vomiting represents the true view of ordinary people towards "civilized people" like her. In addition, she has repeatedly emphasized that she is a civilized person and is willing to sit down and talk with the other party even when her son’s tooth is knocked out. She seems to want to impose a sense of guilt on the other party, and it means that I am a civilized person and do not have the same knowledge as you. , Also shows her style of occupying the commanding heights of morality.
John C. Reilly, Judy's husband, is a complete realist, or "vulgar mortal", and he should have the lowest level of culture and career among the four roles. At first he was on the same battle line with Judy. Later, as the atmosphere continued to heat up, his dissatisfaction with his wife’s civility was exposed. After putting down all the masks and admitting that he was a "total vulgar bastard", he was relieved to ridicule anything. Man, relieved to yell at him, and relieved to taste whiskey and cigar with "enemy" Christopher, sweeping away the depression in the marriage, but caught his wife by surprise. Among them are many of his hilarious "little people-style complaints", which can be called bright spots.
Christopher Waltz, the Boss Nazi colonel in "Shameless Bastard", the invincible and fascinating gangsterism brought to this movie, he is a cunning lawyer by profession. Judging from his endless business calls, this is his only concern. He actually didn't care about his wife vomiting on the floor. It can be said that he dismissed the child fighting even more. He can be said to be an unabashedly "barbaric" man, actively pursuing the most indifferent solution, he is the character who stands the most opposite to Judy. That cynical and calm look, many cold words are also amazing. If Riley is a complaint from a small person, Waltz is a pair of disdain and sarcasm that stays out of the matter. Only when the mobile phone is in trouble can he get mad. Most of my laughter in this film comes from him, which is really cool, idol.
Kate Winslet, the wife of an investment broker and workaholic lawyer, can see that this is a high-income family compared to the other party. The image she represents is people who have been suppressed. She is stylishly dressed and knows well, trying to maintain the situation between her overly husband and the other's family, but after her stomach and heart discomfort erupted, she was the one who turned her face most thoroughly. The attack surface is very wide, and he angrily accused Riley of throwing the hamster as a murderer, yelling at Judy for deliberately finding the ballast, and then throwing the most nasty husband's cell phone into the water. It can be seen how painful I usually endure.
In the confrontation of these four wonderful characters, children's fights have long been left behind. There is a conflict between two families, a conflict between two women (this is an eternal war), a confrontation between two men (but when it comes to alcohol and tobacco, they will laugh at each other), men and women. The conflict between men and women after throwing the phone in the water is very typical, and the so-called contradiction between civilization and barbarism (three people besie Judy). Although it cannot be said that it contains so profound philosophies, it is intertwined, the connection is natural and smooth, vivid and intense, and a room is filled with drama. At the same time, the call was inserted at a delicate time (Christopher's client and John's mother), which extended the scene, characters, and plot.
However, given that the film is adapted from a drama, what new contributions does Polanski's film version have? From the biggest difference between the movie and the drama-the distance of the audience, it can be observed that a series of close-ups, especially the facial expressions of actors (such as Judy's anger on the chest, the appearance of violent veins and Christopher's calmness) can be more improved. Clear expression. Others, such as close-ups of the caller on the phone, are also the advantages of the movie. In addition to these close-ups, the movie version did not use more lens language, it relied on dialogue. The time flexibility of the movie is useless in this film, because the movie version is the same as the stage play, the real time and the time in the plot are the same. On the contrary, the richer interaction between the actors and the audience in a stage play is lost in the movie. So in general, the wonderfulness of this movie should be attributed to the original script to a greater extent.
