Best Actor

    Gus Van Sant, born July 24, 1952 in Louisville, Kentucky, like most directors, had an early interest in film and studied at Rhode Island School of Design After graduating, he shot commercials and short films in New York, and also served as an assistant to many directors, and finally released his debut film "Dead Night, Unforgettable Love" in 1985.

    However, what made him start to show his prominence is that it was "Psychedelic Cowherd" in 1989 and "The Uninhibited Sky" in 1991, both of which won the Best Independent Spirit Award Screenplay Award.

    Then, he began to move closer to the mainstream. In 1998, he was nominated for the Best Director Oscar with "Good Will Hunting" and finally got a seat in Hollywood. And winning the Palme d'Or with "The Elephant" in 2003 shows that he has not given up on independent films and can move back and forth between independent films and mainstream studios.

    It stands to reason that such a director has almost no intersection with Sean, why does Sean show an annoyed look after hearing this name?

    "Just because you were once called River Phoenix No. 2?" Neil blinked, looking completely confused.

    Although he has always been in this group, but because he spent most of his time in New York and didn't return to the West Coast until 2005, he is not very clear about many things, and needs Sean and the others to explain one or two .

    "It's just one reason," Shawn shook his head helplessly, "and about Ben Affleck, Santer established himself in Hollywood by "Good Will Hunting", he The relationship with Affleck and Damon has always been very good. And I had a big conflict with Affleck before, and now he doesn't dare to provoke me, but you think he will say good things about me in front of others?"

    Not to mention that Sant is known to be gay. Sean said something malicious in his heart. Thinking about Affleck's actions, he didn't know the two of them... hum!

    "When Sean was called the second Phoenix, many people were upset with him, including Keanu Reeves, plus Affleck, how could Sant be against Sean again Good impression?" Galen added beside him.

    "In fact, we met Santer before, he was very indifferent to Sean, thinking that his maturity was just pretending." Sanders with his arms also followed. .

    "In short, Gus Van Sant hates me, and this kind of independent film, the director has a lot of power, can't get him, everything is hopeless." Sean scratched his head deeply sighed.

    The living room also fell silent. This is indeed a problem that cannot be avoided. The trouble of Paul Thomas Anderson is a good example. Once such an independent director becomes stubborn, he will not die. yield.

    "Sean," Sanders said again, "do you need this role?"

    "What?" Sean was puzzled.

    "I mean, do you really need this role?" Sanders looked at him seriously.

    Sean didn't answer immediately, but frowned and thought carefully while pinching his chin.

    Milk...Milk...I did hear his name when I was in San Francisco. He should be famous in the **** community... So, celebrity biopics are still politically correct gays, Plus an Oscar-nominated director... so, what's the intuition?

    "I need it!" Sean took a deep breath and answered in the affirmative.

    "Even if you need to kiss a man or even do something more intimate while you're filming?" Sanders pressed.

    "I'm an actor, Sandy," Sean didn't hesitate, "I want to be the best actor."

    "Okay, I'll give you a chance with Fred." Sanders nodded immediately.

    "What are you going to do?" Frederick was surprised.

    Sanders did not answer directly, but beckoned and took the agent aside to discuss. Although Sean was curious, he still sat in his seat and waited for them to agree.

    "Leave it to us, Sean." Frederick said when they came back.

    "What do I need to do?" Sean asked directly.

    …

    Christmas in 2006 is coming soon, and it is as lively as ever. At this time of year, shopping malls will carry out various promotions, and then they will start shopping when they are crowded. Movies released on this occasion.

    "Sweeney Todd" was released on the 21st, and like all Burton's works, the praise and the bad reviews were equal.

    "Burton makes the film lively and fluid, and it's on par with other great films released this year, including musicals." - USA Today

    "Flawless from start to finish, with horror, grotesque humor and intermittent fright, it's the most elegant psychopathic murder movie ever made." - "Rolling Stone"

    "The song and dance are great and the music is perfect, but Burton seems to have misused his sense of humor." - The New York Times

    "A layer of the same Gothic style, with new ideas, but mostly unchanged." -Chicago Tribune

    Unexpectedly, most of the reviewers gave Sean's performance praise, such as "excellent as always", "any style of role he is competent" such comments abound Yes.

    This surprised Sean, he attended the premiere, and when he sat down to watch his performance, he only felt that he was quite well-behaved, and there were some brilliant things, but how good Not necessarily. Unexpectedly, the film critics thought it was very good. Those tabloids who attacked him with "The Blood Will Come" were naturally quiet.

    In this way, I can only say don't guess the taste of film critics. As for the audience, they only need to look happy and think it looks good. Why don't you care about it.

    However, Sean did not put more energy on this, he has more important things now, collect all the information related to Harvey Milk, and then watch and analyze.

    "It's Christmas now, and then New Year's. During this time, everyone relaxes again. Even if Sant has already started preparations and has cast candidates, he has to wait until after the holidays. So, here's our chance, our chance to catch up," Sanders said at the time.

      Your own way of acting, of course, is better with a little episode." This is Frederick's opinion.

    So, since the decision was made, Sean has been staying in the Beverly Hills mansion, except for the necessary appointments, as well as spending time with his women and seeing his children. Stay in the room and read the profile of this politician over and over again.

    Fortunately, Milk became famous in the late 1970s, and there are plenty of video materials for reference, especially a series of speeches in public, which not only allowed Sean to understand him more intuitively, but also imitated him. way to further integrate his characteristics into himself.

    In this way, you don't have to rely on various memoirs and descriptions to try to figure out the character's character like Howard Hughes. Of course, this may also make him a little rigid, but Sean believes that with his own ability, he will be able to overcome it very well.

    He is very hardworking, very hardworking. In the days before Christmas, he imitated Milk's speech and gestures in front of the TV almost every day. to bring your appearance closer to the other.

    It can be said that he put in more effort than trying to figure out "The Aviator", because, deep down, Sean still hopes, if he can, if he can get it, if If the script is good enough, if the time comes... then use this movie to compete with "There Will Be Blood"!

    He will never admit defeat.

    Of course, even if he was putting all his energy into it, he still had to do, yes, bring the kids home for Christmas.

    "I heard Sean say that after he became an actor, you helped him a lot, and you introduced the movie "Babel" to him." , the mother asked with a smile as she added soup to Naomi.

    "Actually he helped me a little bit more, you know, I worked hard in Hollywood for a long time to get the chance to become famous, and this opportunity was helped by Sean." Naomi replied humbly.

    Today, she deliberately changed into a more solemn dress and put on some light makeup, she looked both generous and elegant, so after getting off the bus, after the initial surprise, the mother quickly became acquainted with her stand up.

    "You don't have to speak for him, Nami," the father said at this time, "we all know what kind of person he is, thank you for taking care of him."

    "That's right, that's it." Lianna followed.

    Sean who was feeding Alexander ignored Lianna and rolled his eyes at his father secretly. Even at this time, he still refused to let him go. Well, whatever you say, I promised my mother not to quarrel with him today.

    "No need, Tony, in fact, I'm very happy to meet Sean, although we..." Naomi smiled and took out a tissue and handed it to Sean.

    Although I didn't say anything more, the people present could more or less guess what was behind, and the atmosphere at the scene couldn't help but become a little dull. Sean took the tissue and wiped the little guy's mouth. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. From the moment he decided to bring Naomi back, he had expected this to happen. However, although he had prepared several ways to deal with it, he didn't know which one to use at this moment.

    In the end, Alexander came out to save the scene. The active little guy didn't know how to grab a spoon, so he raised the spoon and waved it wildly. Sean hurriedly reached out to stop him, but who knows how he waved, the spoon was inserted into the soup pot and then poured out, and it happened to splash on Sean's face.

    Then the little guy opened his eyes wide and froze for a few seconds, then giggled happily, followed by his mother, sister, and Naomi couldn't help but burst out laughing, Even the old-fashioned father raised the corners of his mouth.
