■■■ No. 1 "Primal Fear" Primal Fear (1996)

Role A: a brutal murder of Archbishop The
character B of the church boy Aaron : A defendant who claims to be suffering from "schizophrenia", Aaron,

"people are not frivolous", the role in the movie is crazy enough, because of this debut, Edward also has the capital of juvenile crazy.


■■■ No.2 "The Magician" The Illusionist (2006)

Character A: Eduard, the son of a carpenter who has loved Sophie since childhood,
Character B: A magician who still loves Sophie, Eisenheim

magic and love have too many similarities : The process is very complicated, and the ending is very satisfactory; no matter how many secrets there are, it will all come to light; I know it is false, and I am willing to believe it... the solemn and mysterious expression of Norton is like a real magician.


■■■ No.3 "American History X" (1998)

Character A: Derek
character who has extreme hatred for people of color B: The prodigal son looks back, reflects on the past, and avoids his brother from repeating the same mistakes.

This life will definitely be a life-threatening, such a role. It is definitely a challenge. A person's change is a matter of time to outsiders, but to oneself, it is a file of crime and punishment, gains and losses. Norton wrote a piece of history in film.


■■■ No.4 Fight Club (1999)

Character A: Jack with severe insomnia.
Character B: Tyler who does things extremely, almost crazy.

This is a typical dissociative identity disorder, in fact, it is an extreme personality split. The emptiness and boredom of Jack's life almost swallowed him and choked him. Until I met another self... I can imagine that Norton in life might be like this.


■■■ No.5 "Big Sale" The Score (2001)

Character A: Customs guard, mentally handicapped Brian
Character B: Ambitious and talented robber rookie Taylor

does not know who will win until the end, the mantis catches the cicada. The bird is behind. This kind of Hollywood thief blockbuster has always been a good delicacy, with celebrities getting together and suspense.


■■■ No.6 "The Veil" The Painted Veil (2006)

Character A: The doctor who used his taciturn to revenge his wife's derailment Walter
Character B: Walter who has always loved his wife

from the flashy but empty London social circle to the cholera A rampant but beautiful town in southern China. The fireworks are gone, and the true meaning of love can be seen clearly in loneliness. Love becomes more and more mellow in various "experiences." Norton's elegance is completely integrated with the scenery of southern China.


■■■ No.7 "The 25th Hour" 25th Hour (2002)

Character A: Manhattan's most powerful drug dealer Monty
Character B: In the last 24 hours before going to prison, the Monty

movie , which tried to return to family, friends, and love, portrays such a There are flesh and blood, angular and angular men, and at the same time the dirty air and people's grief and anger in the city of New York. But it's definitely not talking about an old-fashioned plot of "you know how to cherish after you lose it".


■■■ No.8 "Pride and Glory" Pride and Glory (2008)

Character A: An outstanding member of the New York police family who takes pride and glory Ray
Character B: Ray

"Glory", who makes a choice between honor and justice, between family and truth, has always been a Pandora's box. Once opened, greed, killing, fear, pain, disease, and desire all fly out.


■■■ No.9 "Love in the Valley" Down in the Valley (2005)

Role A: live in their own weaving dreams of the ideal of cowboy Harlan
role B: real life is a murderer, Harlan kidnappers was

when a When a person cannot distinguish between ideals and reality, he will have countless words and actions that are out of date. There is no shortage of such people around me. I cast an unreasonable look at him, and what he threw back was still his lonely self-admiration living in an ideal world.


■■■ No.10 "Invincible Hulk" The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Character A: The Magic Hulk Hulk
Character B: Scientist Bruce

Not everyone wants to be a powerful person, at least, someone is willing to be an ordinary one Members, you can love, you can hate. There is no absolute fragility, and no thorough bravery.


■■■ Other movies have not yet been classified into the upper category: Red Dragon, King of Gamblers, Everyone Says I Love You, Sex Book Tycoon, Men Love Beauty, Kings of Heaven; and the ones I haven’t seen yet: Stealing the Sky, After sunset, Frida and the United States bombed artillery.
