These pictures are footage from the 1966 "Spiritual Night". Professor Henry, the useless husband played by Richard Burton, watched Martha drive away in anger after a quarrel with his wife Martha played by Elizabeth Taylor. , leaving him alone in the wilderness, in the thick darkness.
In such a dark and fuzzy scene, he blinked an eye, slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, and took a slightly larger breath to show the audience the extremely angry but surprisingly calm reaction of this useless little man.
And the other half of his face, which is hidden in the shadows and can't see clearly, is dangerous and unpredictable, and people can't help worrying about when this honest man will suddenly explode with devastating power, worrying about his next step. How will he get revenge on his wife. I have always felt that the Oscar winner does not necessarily mean that the acting is very strong. Sometimes the role played by an actor who won an Oscar for best actor doesn't feel that good, and of course it's not bad. It does have its own unique charm and representation.
But in many cases, it's just the character's own people who set extra points, and the screenwriter and director have a lot of credit. Some actors just lack and rely on the training of the big director. They can have an epiphany in a play, but it is impossible to leave the director.
However, some actors, especially British actors who are drama actors, are different. Their lines, their English pronunciation, and their acting skills have always been very stable, and they can hardly see the scene of the car accident, and the magic is that they Almost any type of role can be played.
They are also really keen to try out various types of characters. And he has been devoting himself to studying and improving his acting skills, learning from the actors they fancy, even if they are forty or fifty years old, they still have no arrogance, and have been trying to make themselves better.
Only for roles that are repetitive and not challenging at all, will they impatiently play casually for the sake of money, but even so, it is normal at least not ugly.
Some of these actors, even if they have never won an Oscar in their whole life, have different charms at each stage, from their youthful youth to their old age. Even if it is a bad film, it is still responsible for acting, and it will never happen that the whole film is dragged down because of bad acting.
And for some actors, at some moments, I can only think of a four-character adjective, that is, "acting burst", which is simply the interpretation of the joys, sorrows and joys of the characters to a shocking extreme. Couldn't be better. I can't imagine that if this role was played by a second person, he could also achieve this effect.
And the basics as an actor, I think they're really serious to the bone at this point. That is, they will never pretend to be handsome in order to consider their appearance in front of the camera. Even if they choose to move freely, they will never act handsome with private goods.
Once they enter the performance state, all expressions will serve the emotional changes of the characters. What expressions the characters should make, what expressions they will make, even if these expressions make them ugly and hideous, and they will look wrinkled. With a face of vicissitudes, he doesn't care at all.
They make their character a normal, living person who seems to exist in reality, because in reality, people who are living and not performing do not always pay attention to managing their expressions and whether they are handsome or not. of.
Or, they will have another ability, that is, they can hardly see any changes in their expressions, and they can completely tell you the huge waves in this character's heart at this time with just a little fluctuation in their eyes, and let you Empathy, being swayed by the great sadness and joy of this character, and forgetting that they are just acting.
Such an actor, I can follow any of their movies, any TV series, even if he is just a cameo, even if it is a downright bad movie, but as long as he is there, just watch him alone, enjoy a Human acting is definitely a great enjoyment. Of course, the premise is that you have to discover such a great actor first.
