To tell the truth, the United States is a son of Britain and France. It is true. Columbus discovered the American continent. The native Indians on it were cut down by Spanish robbers long ago. In addition to the epidemics such as inconsistency, smallpox and the decline of Spain, the rising stars of the United Kingdom and France North America was carved up one after another; and the previously bearish France was driven to the desolate places of ice and snow such as Quebec, Canada, by the more majestic Britain. Let's not study history. In short, before there was no such thing as the United States, the British had been struggling and surviving on the current land of the United States for a hundred years. It was their descendants who established the United States and developed and strengthened the United States. It is well known that the people who came to the United States in the early days were the unwelcome people of the British government, the people who could not survive in Britain, and the rebels who fled in exile, that is, the so-called inferior people in Britain. A group of desperate people, in the wild American continent, after more than 300 years of time, they have been tossed with wind and water. Of course, the former "empire that never sets in the sun" is hard to let go of, and can't swallow this breath.
Although they cannot compete with the United States in all aspects, and often have to look at the Americans’ faces, such as NATO, the European Union, the military alliance, the financial system, etc., in the very individual art field, the British still hope to hold on to the final A little bit of dignity, in this defensible territory, tenaciously maintain the long and far-reaching cultural characteristics and artistic charm of the British Empire.
Movies and dramas are indeed peculiar art, which has nothing to do with wealth, but only talents. I have watched the Iranian film "The Children of Heaven" (1997), a poor life film that does not require much investment, but it can also reveal the glory of humanity. The splendor of the film comes from the creator's attention and thinking to the general public, the fair and dedicated reflection of objective events, and the unique and keen reflection on the significance of the event.
Hi, pull it away. Today I want to talk about two brilliant British actors and two films they co-starred.
The English gentleman admires Ladies first, but I want to talk about this gentleman first. Sir Anthony Hopkins Sir Anthony Hopkins was one year older than his father and was born in South Wales, England. If your first Sir Huo movie is "The Silence of Lambs" (The Silence of Lambs, 1991), then you will completely leave behind a distorted image of Sir Huo. Unfortunately, I just happened to come into contact with him. . The splendor of this movie goes without saying. What Sir Huo brought me was the thorough horror and tremor under the face of the cold and cold British gentleman. Jodie Foster said in the talk show that Sir Huo had to stick to her face and make a "hissing" sound in his mouth when he was filming. He was really scared. In 1991, Sir Huo won the Oscar for Best Actor in "The Silent Lambs", and became another British man who was on the throne of an actor.
The change in Sir Huo's image in my mind comes from his "Legends of the Fall" (Legends of the Fall, 1994). Undoubtedly, this movie should be regarded as Brad Pitt's movie, but I think Sir Huo and Julia Ormond, the two Englishmen, better interpret the character's inner nobility, persistence, and passing character. Sir Huo's slightly accented English and the unspeakable paternal love moved my heart. What followed was his "Sixth Sense of Life and Death" (Meet Joe Black, 1998). The twilight body's detachment from life and death, the nostalgia for his daughter, and the dedication to career were just right for Sir Huo. And Pete's precise interpretation of the god of death makes the film extraordinarily glamorous, making a commercial film like a blockbuster. Of course, the director is also very good. It is Martin Brest, the director of "Scent of a Woman" (1992).
It was after watching such complicated and troublesome movies as "The Human Stain" (The Human Stain, 2004), "Hannibal" (Hannibal, 2001), and "All the King's Men" (2006). I came into contact with another screen image of Sir Huo, and I'll talk about it later.
In "Sense and Emotion" mentioned in the postscript of "Becoming Jane", Emma Thompson won the judges and audience with the wonderful adapted script, and won the Golden Globe Award and Oscar for Best Screenplay. . I can’t remember what my first Emma movie was. I didn’t watch much. "In the Name of the Father" (1993) should have been seen from TVB Pearl, but it was still relatively Young, unable to appreciate Emma, who is neither beautiful nor tender. It’s because from Hugh Grant’s movies that this middle-aged woman with strong bones, deep face and big eyes plays a variety of tolerant, restrained, and virtuous roles, especially the Cambridge graduated, her English is so good and clear Thorough, smooth phonology, elegant mouth shape, let me know London English better than Hugh who graduated from Oxford. After years of patience in "Sense and Emotion", she sobbed uncontrollably when confronted with Mr. Ferrars' sincere confession. In "Love Actually" (Love Actually, 2003), she had to force her to be ignorant when facing her husband's cheating, but at Christmas The sadness of hiding in the bedroom at night and crying alone, all let us see Emma's unique understanding and expression of a woman who is strong on the outside and fragile on the inside. Her role has always been faint, like flowing water. She is good at using words, and the tactful tone and intonation hidden in the words, with the eyes full of words, expressing feelings.
Sir Howard and Emma collaborated on two films-"Howards End" (1992) and "The Remains of the Day" (1993), both of which were produced by Merchant-Ivory. Director James Ivory is almost the original crew, presenting the British style and character mentality of two different eras.
Briefly talk about movies. "Howard Manor" is translated from Taiwan into "This Love Can Ask the Sky", adapted from EMFoster's novel. This buddy's "Room with a View" and "Morris' Lover" were all put on the screen by James Ivory and got huge Applause, the actors inside also turned over and over again and performed various roles of different backgrounds and backgrounds. "Leaving Marks in the Day" is translated into "Farewell to You Qingtian" in Taiwan, apparently in order to form a sister chapter with the drama "Huo". The drama "Huo" presents the various faces of the British aristocrats, while the film "Go" tells the emotional waves of the servants in the aristocratic manor. "Huo" has won various awards such as Golden Globes, Oscars, British Academy, Cannes Film Festival and so on. The next "Go" film must be tailored for Sir Huo and Emma by director James. He wants to make The audience saw that in "Huo", Emma used her stoic and restrained tenderness to make Mr. Wilcox stop for him, while in "Go", Emma had to cut her loveliness ruthlessly at the flowing water of Mr. Stevens. In James's "Conspiracy", the audience was fortunate to see the legendary Sir Howard's wonderful textbook interpretation, and Emma's tenderness that has remained in the audience's mind for more than ten years.
In "Huo", Sir Huo's role was not deeply shocked, but the unquenched poetic and bookish spirit of Leonard Best, the down-and-out young man, and his "oh" wife's vulgar and shallow philanthropy, made people feel the capital. The ugly dark side of ism. The willful and reckless Helena Bonham Carter left a deeper impression on me than in "A Room with a View". I really like this girl with a beautiful accent and a "weird" appearance. I don’t know why, but I think she has a weird look, such a small face, such a long curly hair, and the roles she plays are so neurotic and weird. She was actually caught by Tim Burton. When marrying home, it's really "not a family, don't enter a family". Look at the eerie and terrifying witch in "Big Fish" (2004), which is played by this lady, and only a ghost like Tim Burton can use his wife as a prop. In "Huo", Emma uses her absolute generosity, tolerance, consideration and thoughtfulness, so that everyone who gets along with her in the film will be ironed properly-her sister's accommodation and tolerance, and her meticulous care for Mrs. Wilcox , The enthusiastic help to Best, the thoughtfulness and gentleness to Mr. Wilcox, alas, for the sake of this big son, I feel nervous for her. Especially because of the entanglement between Best and his wife, Mr. Wilcox suspected that Emma's sister had made him embarrassed and wanted to cancel his engagement with Emma. Before the people at the party, Emma had to pretend to be in harmony with Mr. Wilcox, and she would act for him. The fiance dusted off his clothes, said two jokes intentionally or unintentionally, and deliberately laughed at his unintentional mistakes; but after the guests had left, Emma hurried back to the bedroom, knelt in front of the mirror and hid her face and wept bitterly. There is not much effort to perform his movements, just like emotions from the heart, all in one go.
The shock is left to "Leave a Trace in the Past". Against the backdrop of the magnificent World War II, the short stories of the butlers and butlers in the English country houses seemed so calm and fluent. The two should be in a superior-subordinate relationship. For the butler’s almost harsh requirements, young housekeepers always have the slightest idea to challenge-working methods and work concepts disagree, even tit-for-tat; and the butler is close to the life of a Puritan. Habits, young housekeepers are not only to challenge, but to break – they don’t often send flowers and tell him "you should smile more". In the friction and provocation, they all understand each other’s noble personality. , Be open-minded.
A woman is always the first person to pierce the emotional window paper. That scene is a classic. At dusk, the male director was in the bedroom. He leisurely holding a book while sleeping, she walked into the house with a flower. Presumably the two can tolerate each other's intrusion into the private space, she didn't knock on the door. Then, she asked him what book he was reading. He never answered such a simple question directly. Take a good look at this paragraph. Why didn't he answer it? Deliberately teasing her, it should not be, this is not in line with his character. The content of the book is too awkward? He said: This is my privacy. Hey, what a bullshit, don't cover it up like that. And she really rushed forward, pressing closer and squeezing him to the corner of the wall, and then using both hands to break his fingers holding the book, and the look in his eyes. I have never seen Emma have such eyes and movements in a movie. Look at Sir Huo again, the male director’s helpless heartbeat, the helpless depression during the heartbeat, the depressed eagerness to try, the restraint that I have to try before I want to try, just in the pressing of Emma, it rises and depresses, depresses Rise again. From the floating eyes and body breathing, he felt his inner struggle strongly.
The cold blood and calmness of the man hurt her and eventually hurt herself. His non-response made her feel ashamed. She quickly found a substitute, and on the last night they worked together, she told him that he was going to marry and that he was leaving. He said nothing but Congratulations. However, when he went to the wine cellar, he accidentally smashed the bottle and blurted out damn it. This was an impulse that he had never had before. He heard her cry before leaving, and he walked into her room without knocking on the door. Even I yelled in a hurry: your last chance, please do something. It's no use. What you see is the polite, literate manager, facing her tear-stained face, and speaking blankly about work, work, and work.
Alas, I'm exhausted. Twenty years later, by chance, he drove hundreds of miles to find her. Ever had that impulse? It was still "this feeling can be turned into a remembrance, but it was already at a loss." This is a movie of Emma and Sir Howard I watched relatively late. Compared to their many previous roles, this movie is too special. Especially when Sir Howard himself said, I like "Leave a Trace in the Sun" very much. I believe he misses the emotions surrounding him and Emma when he was shooting this movie. It is the indistinct, unmoved heart of the rational men and women, the blood that is eager and hard to beat, and the desire to speak is stopped. His feelings have all turned into melancholy and hopelessness.
Sir Huo and Emma, during my viewing process, they never seemed to appear as handsome men and women, but because of the interpretation of these two films, they became a classic match in my heart.
I accidentally watched James Lipton's "In the Actor's Studio" about Sir Howard's episode. This is the second time Sir Huo appeared on the show. Ten years ago, it was after winning the Oscar winner with "The Silent Lambs". This time, this man is already considered an old man. After briefly talking about the experience, he memorized the poem by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas and imitated Dylan's voice. Then he recites Ye Ci's poems (all poems). The old guys raised their heads, opened their mouths casually, and suddenly stopped in the middle. Then he apologized to the students. Then suddenly said, remembering, and then recite. After finishing, he smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, leaving a group of students from the American Academy of Performing Arts silent and dumbfounded. It is totally unimaginable that Dr. Hannibal, who cannibalistically, would be moved to tears by Ye Cifenghuaxueyue's poems. The old man is very proud of Celtic culture. It is said that he can play the piano well. Julianne Moore, who once worked with him, said that he wakes up from the piano every morning on the set, and he plays there again. An old man over seventy years old, without a family, indulged in wind and snow, what kind of feelings is that? By the way, the old man's talk show is very fun and humorous; he has super strong language imitating ability, and his lines are shocking and powerful. I have seen interviews with British actors. Hugh and Kate are humorous and relaxed. On the contrary, the American handsomes Matt Damon, Johnny Depp, and Ben Affleck are extremely dull. Don't Americans live in vain? By the way, Meryl Streep's movie is very exciting, but her interview also seems to be a toothpaste squeeze, which is not very attractive.
I haven’t read the interview with Emma, but it is said that when she received the Golden Globe award, she imitated Jane Austen's style of saying thank you, which attracted a lot of laughter. Please enjoy:
• Acceptance speech for Golden Globe for Best adapted screenplay (Sense and Sensibility , 1995):
Thank you very much. Good Heavens. Um, I can't thank you enough, Hollywood Foreign Press, for honouring me in this capacity. I don't wish to burden you with my debts, which are heavy and numerous but, um, I think that everybody involved in the making of this film knows that we owe all our pride and all our joy to the genius of Jane Austen. And, um, it occurred to me to wonder how she would react to an evening like this.. . [Puts down statue on stage, reads paper] This is what I came up with.
Four am, having just returned from an evening at the Golden Spheres, which despite the inconveniences of heat, noise and overcrowding was not without its pleasures. Thankfully, there were no dogs and no children. The gowns were middling. There was a good deal of shouting and behaviour verging on the profligate, however, people were very free with their compliments and I made several new acquaintences. There was Lindsay Doran of Mirage, wherever that might be, who's largely responsible for my presence here, an enchanting companion about whom too much good cannot be said. Mr. Ang Lee, of foreign extraction, who most unexpectedly appeared to understand me better than I understand myself. Mr. James Shamis, a most copiously erudite person and Miss Kate Winslet, beautiful in both countenance and spirit . Mr. Pat Doyle, a composer and a Scot,who displayed the kind of wild behaviour one has learned to expect from that race. Mr. Mark Kenton, an energetic person with a ready smile who, as I understand it, owes me a great deal of money. [Breaks character, smiles] TRUE !! [back in character] Miss Lisa Henson of Columbia, a lovely girl and Mr. Garrett Wiggin, a lovely boy. I attempted to converse with Mr. Sydney Pollack, but his charms and wisdom are so generally pleasing, that it proved impossible to get within ten feet of him. The room was full of interesting activity until 11 pm when it emptied rather suddenly. The lateness of the hour is due, therefore, not to the dance, but to the waiting in a long line for a horseless carriage of unconscionable size. The modern world has clearly done nothing for transport.Mark Kenton, an energetic person with a ready smile who, as I understand it, owes me a great deal of money. [Breaks character, smiles] TRUE!!

Managed to Avoid at The hoyden PS Emily Thompkinson, the WHO has purloined Things of My Creation and added HER own. Nefarious Creature!
Thank you.
Absolutely surprising Appreciation, than stuttered thank a bunch of people a hundred times stronger now. So some people can only be actors, and she is a talented artist.
Ps. watched "Howard Manor" again and found out that Mr. Wilcox proposed to Margaret in the mansion and finally embraced her. Finally let out a long breath, all the resentments and regrets of Emma in "Leave a Trace" can be made up, can't they? !
