Best Actor

    "No more mistakes, understand?"

    "No one is allowed to make mistakes again, especially you, when it's time for us to play, you can't make mistakes."

    "Neither I nor anyone else is allowed to make mistakes, and neither are you, to screw it up."

    "The UK even had a party the night before the execution called the 'Monster Ball' and they didn't have a lawyer or a priest around, so it was just you and me. I said, don't think he did What, it's work, and we're going to do our part."

    "Good!" When Thornton finished speaking, director Mark Foster applauded first. There is no doubt that this shot has passed, and the effect is quite good.

     Sean, who was sitting in front of the bar, suddenly relaxed, and quickly put the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and then exaggerated his breath, the hissing sound was heard by almost everyone see.

    "It's just a cigarette, are you exaggerating?" Thornton laughed and scolded beside him.

    "Of course not, father, I just don't like smoking." Sean rolled his eyes and said, immediately causing a burst of laughter.

    So far, he has completed two major scenes in total, and the performance is very successful and smooth, so successful and smooth that even he himself is surprised, just like Soderbergh. The bald-headed Foster praised him greatly, and he took several difficult scenes at one time.

    For example, in this scene in the bar now, a black death row will be executed the next day, the son is drinking in the bar, and the strict, indifferent and harsh father comes to him and reprimands him well For a while, as if tomorrow he was bound to have a problem. The son has almost no lines, and relies entirely on facial expressions and body language to express his emotions, the dull, helpless, hatred and self-destructive emotions hidden in it.

      , From this aspect, it can also be seen how tense the relationship between father and son is in the play.

    But Sean performed very well, very well, and with just a little simmering, the emotion came out.

    When Thornton used a stern tone to say "I and others are not allowed to make mistakes, you are the same, you are not allowed to screw up", although Sean did not care, but When his eyes slanted towards Thornton, the dissatisfaction and hatred in his eyes could not be concealed.

      Still hard to tolerate the smell of smoke. So much so that, under his father's reprimand, he carelessly put the cigarette to his mouth and took a puff. It took a long time to get it done.

    "I personally think that you'd better have a specific smoking scene, so as to reflect the distress of this child." Someone suggested that if Sean does not smoke, he should not put it in his mouth at all. That's what Foster said during the footage in .

    No way, Sean had to put the filter to his mouth again and again, and sucked deeply into his mouth again and again, so after the shooting, he was covered with smoke. Fortunately, the air in rural towns is very fresh, and the smell of smoke dissipates faster in the wild with more trees. Otherwise, it will feel very bad if you spend a day like this.

    Of course, a movie like "Dance of Death Row" only has a budget of 4 million. Sean only took a small-cost independent film with a friendship price of 80,000. He can't shoot in a southern town. Are you filming in a factory studio?

    It's like "My Big Greek Wedding" was filmed in Canada. Every state in the United States also has tax reduction policies for filming. After all, it can stimulate the local economy. It can also open up tourist attractions. Besides, the background setting of this movie is also in a southern town.

    "To be honest, your performance here is better than in Alaska because of the strong sense of role substitution." Sanders asked curiously.

    "Maybe..." Sean shrugged noncommittally.

    I said before that he was also surprised by his success and smoothness, because... This is the first time that he has truly felt the realm of the unity of man and drama. After shouting "Action" on the spot or ringing the slate, he is the Sony in the movie, the young man who lives in the shadow of his father, has no self-confidence, no self, and wants to destroy himself. Everything is so natural and wonderful. .

    Sean has always been in the drama very quickly. Because of his previous life, he knows what it feels like to be another person, but to become another person like this wholeheartedly, fully understand the other party's emotions Sadness, for the first time. He can reach this level, and he can enter the realm that Harrington said at the beginning, the most likely to be a madman, and it must be impossible to say that his experience of being a human being in two lifetimes has not contributed to the flames.

    No wonder the older generation of method actors like to experience life. With the same experience, we can better understand the feelings of the characters.

    However, this method is still a bit tasteless for Sean. Being able to quickly enter the play by virtue of past life experience is already a great help for acting. The rest is the experience and conveyance of feelings, and the movie After all, it is an art of expression, and it is still different from real feelings. And this gap can not be made up by being a taxi driver for a few months, or by playing a boxing match for half a year, and there are differences between people. , not the character's.

    This time Sean is also because of his two lives, but he has a tense relationship with his father, plus he really wants to vent, wants to tell everyone, and some acting skills have become subconscious behaviors, so he can Performed so well.

      When the father replied, "Yes, I hate you," he said, "You hate me, but I love you," and shot himself in the chest.

    This may seem good, but in Sean's eyes, it is too flattering to mainstream social values, or too concerned about conveying bad values ​​to the audience. If he is really forced to that step, he is like a walking corpse, unable to express his thoughts, and unable to break free from this bondage, and he seems to be suffocating every day, then he will probably say some more drastic words at that time, and his father will regret it for the rest of his life.

    Fortunately, the characters of the two fathers are very similar, and they both clearly convey some things, so that he will not end up like Sony in the script.

    "It's really wonderful, Sean, it was the right decision to find you, when I played against you, I almost thought you were Sony." After the execution room scene passed, Thornton Praise him.

    "Yes, even if it's just this scene of the fierce confrontation between father and son, this will be a wonderful movie." Foster said the same.

    The execution room scene is one of the five important points that express Sony's character. It is precisely because of this fierce conflict that ignited the fuse of his subsequent suicide tragedy. The reason is that Sony vomited because he couldn't bear the pressure when he sent the death row prisoner to the road for the first time. Hank was naturally furious when he saw this scene, especially after repeatedly telling him, his son still did not meet his expectations. waste.

    So after the execution, he beat and scolded him, not only beat Sony to the point of bleeding, but also cursed the black subordinate who came to persuade him to be a nigger.

    In this filming, Thornton's performance can be described as full of tension, vividly interpreting the complicated mood of a middle-aged man who is also depressed, taking this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction. It's a pity that Sean's performance is even better. It's also a restrained performance. His performance is much stronger than when he played against Pacino in the Alaska restaurant. The hatred after enduring hardships and being pressed against the wall, as well as the confusion and despair of slowly sitting down against the wall after my father left at the end, are equally vivid.

    In addition, like the previous filming, he basically has no lines, relying entirely on expressions and body language, which makes this scene extraordinarily intense, so it is no wonder that the director will say that even if this scene alone , the movie will be wonderful.

    "It's really great, even if I watch the actual effect outside the studio, I will feel that kind of sadness and anger, are young people now so good?" The heroine on the other side said at this time .

      , and the reason Angelina Jolie came to visit the class—though she's gone now.

     Frankly speaking, Halle Ribe is a very beautiful woman, probably because of her Caucasian descent, the characteristics of black people are not particularly obvious, so it looks more flavorful. Sean has never dated a black girl, but it's not because he is racist. He really doesn't appreciate the beauty of black women. He always thinks that they...how should I put it, from the side view, the lower part of the face is a little too...prominent.

    In short, after seeing Halle Berry, he has a black woman worth admiring, before that, whether Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey, just watching Look and forget.

    This is definitely not because of his after-effects after sleeping with Hilary Swank. After agreeing to Thornton's invitation, he got to know several main actors. It is said to be a few, but in fact, only Halle Berry is known. Thornton has worked with him before and has a certain degree of understanding of his character and temper. Except for him and Halle, there are no other main characters.

    So, after reading some of Harley's files and some people's comments on him, after returning from Alaska, Sean also went to the theater to watch "Sword" which was just released in June. Action Fish. I have to say that Harley's figure inside is really nothing to say, and it is really **** and sultry. It is said that the producer paid an extra $1 million to let her take off her clothes to reveal two points.

    Now I finally see a real person, although there are certain differences from the movie, Sean is still a little itchy.
