Unpredictable Life
"The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Cloud" is adapted from Matthew Quick's debut novel, telling the story of two people whose lives were torn apart and rebuilding their lives. The title of the book, The Silver Linings Playbook, comes from the mantra of the protagonist of the film: "every cloud has a silver lining", which means "after the wind and rain, there will always be a rainbow". The film's director and screenwriter, David O. Russell, took a fancy to the novel very early, and he had already started working on adapting the novel before writing the script for "The Fighter."
Regarding the film, David O. Russell said: "I think 'The Line of Happiness' is more dependent on the expression of emotions, more soulful and more lifelike. In my opinion, the film tells about It's a relationship between a son and a father, and it tells the story of the son finding his own purpose in life. I have a son myself, who is 18 years old, and he has experienced in his own life what Bradley is going through in the film. Some things. And De Niro, who plays the father, has more experience in dealing with the relationship between father and son. After all, he has his own age and life experience. For the people in the movie, life is always unsatisfactory, and there are always some Unpredictable. Of course, in real life as well. For me, the key to this film is to find a tone, use this tone to unfold the storytelling, and use this foundation to express emotions, to a certain extent Integrate the elements of comedy and family drama. What is life? What do we have in life? No one can understand this, so when you lose it, you will realize what you have lost. I think this is life is not as good as A place where people want to be, and this is the meaning of life."
Cooper and
Lawrence Bradley Cooper is an actor with a lot of experience, but he starred in only a handful of movies. Special, it is very difficult. And Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the heroine, although her acting skills are amazing, she is still young. In this film, she will play a widow whose life is collapsing, which is beyond her life experience and the difficulty can be imagined.
Especially for Lawrence playing this role, there has always been a lot of doubts in the outside world, but Lawrence herself does not agree with this, she said: "Although there are concerns in this regard, I don't take this kind of thing to heart. . People always say I'm not old enough, not fit enough, etc. etc. But I can handle roles that don't fit me. Actually, those problems aren't really a problem, they're just other people's concerns . As long as I'm not exposed to the image, it's fine. The biggest problem I faced when making this film was that I couldn't dance, I wasn't a good cook, I couldn't tidy or sew. But as long as If you can imagine yourself in a certain situation, imagine yourself as that person, and imagine an environment, in fact, it is not that difficult to enter the heart of the character."
And this is the first time Bradley Cooper has played a role with such emotional depth. Regarding his performance, David O. Russell said: "Cooper's performance is also very good, I think he accurately expresses the mentality of a poor man whose life is finished and facing a dilemma. Those who are out of control and Disrespect is a reasonable thing. His performance is not superficial, and his appearance does not become a limitation of his performance. In some dance scenes, his cooperation with Lawrence is simply seamless, very It amazes and delights me."
