Best Movie Star

Lying on the dilapidated attic, Matthew looked ahead through the scope. The roaring tank sound came from downstairs. The small building seemed to be shaking, but he was not affected at all. From hand to eye to hand, it was extremely stable. .

Just ahead, the street has turned into ruins, with bricks and rubble scattered in the middle, and there are obvious bullet craters in some places. The houses on both sides are dilapidated, and the dense bullet holes seem to tell a tragic story to bystanders.

War is at hand!

The small town carefully arranged by the crew seems to have been bombed again and again by machine guns.

Matthew wore a military cap instead, and the hand holding the gun did not tremble at all, just like a real soldier who had experienced war.

There are also the firearms in his hands and the M4 rifles placed on the side, all with traces of war.

The firearm looks a bit old, with peeling paint in many places.

The behind-the-scenes department of the crew has made careful preparations in the previous preparations.

The smoke from the tank drifted over the small building, and Matthew lay on the top of the attic, motionless.

With sweat running down his forehead, Matthew whispered, "It's so hot in here."

The camera is right next to him, filming his every move.

The observer next to him answered, "The mud here tastes like shit."

Matthew looked forward intently, but still took the time to reply, "It's like you've eaten it."

The observer first used the binoculars to look into the distance, then laughed and scolded, "Shut your stinky mouth."

The tanks under the small building rumbled. In order to create a real battlefield atmosphere, even if the tanks would not appear in the camera, director Clint Eastwood still let the actors who play the US military and the tanks borrowed from the Pentagon cooperate with each other. Matthew's upstairs shot here.

Except for the cameras set up, everything looks like a real battlefield.

This is also the effect that Matthew and Clint Eastwood pursued. Since it is an autobiographical film, the war must be realistic. It is impossible to restore reality 100%, and it also conflicts with the requirements of commercial films. The war must not be fantasy and sci-fi.

"stop!"

The director, Clint Eastwood, called to stop the shooting, and the original messy studio immediately quieted down. Clint Eastwood found Matthew and told him a few words, and the shooting started again.

Matthew took a few sips of water first, and another makeup artist came over to touch up his makeup, then lay on the ground and continued to act as a sniper.

Fortunately, it's almost November, and despite the strong sunshine, the temperature is not unbearable.

With the order of Clint Eastwood, Matthew immediately entered the state.

He was lying behind a simple bunker in the attic, staring at the distant battlefield through the scope. Thanks to Chris Kyle's personal training, at least he looked like a professional sniper.

"I saw a suspicious combatant on the phone." Matthew's voice was not too loud. "He was watching our convoy making calls, over."

There was a voice on the intercom on Matthew's shoulder, "What if you think he is reporting the movement of the convoy? All your actions are permitted, and you make decisions based on the situation, over!"

Hearing this, Matthew adjusted the scope slightly, and the observer next to him whispered, "He probably just called his mother."

Matthew continued to adjust the scope, "He's gone!"

These words are not just blank descriptions, but there is really an Arab actor on the opposite side doing these actions.

Then, Matthew moved the sniper rifle slightly in the pre-planned direction, and a pair of Arab mother and son appeared in his sniper shot.

"Wait, I saw a woman walking towards the convoy with a child." Matthew said quickly, "It's 200 yards away, still walking towards the convoy."

In Matthew's scope, not only the mother and son, but also the cameras and photographers, but he seemed indifferent as if he didn't see it.

The shots used in post-editing are naturally shot by other cameras.

Matthew spoke faster, "The woman's arm didn't swing, she was carrying something, she pulled out a Russian-made RPG bomb..."

After the lines were finished, Clint Eastwood called to stop filming, "cut! Matthew, your lines are wrong."

The whole set stopped.

Matthew stood up and looked at Clint Eastwood not far away. He didn't realize what was wrong with him.

This kind of composite scene shooting, once an accident occurs, is more troublesome.

But in order to give the actor an immersive feeling and make him a sniper on the battlefield, according to Clint Eastwood, these are all necessary.

Once, when Clint Eastwood filmed "Million Dollar Baby", in order to give Hilary Swank the excitement of the game, he deliberately hired a lot of professional audiences to create an atmosphere on the spot.

Clint Eastwood is a more old-fashioned director, and a lot of the filming is more traditional.

With the current director's practice, these shots must be completely separated and shot. As for the actor's feeling, you can find it slowly over and over again.

Matthew got up from the ground and rubbed his numb arms and knees. Clint Eastwood came over and said, "There's something wrong with the tone you just used."

"Yeah." Matthew nodded.

Clint Eastwood said directly, "You are a sniper who provides rear support, a person who can better observe the overall situation of the battlefield. For possible enemies that appear, whether it is a woman or a child, its essential meaning is the same. Yes, because they are women or children, you can't bring subjective emotions!"

Matthew was thinking while thinking. Before shooting, he had a lot of communication with Chris Kyle himself. Chris Kyle described a similar scene. In Chris Kyle's eyes, there is only himself on the battlefield. people and enemies.

In the words of Chris Kyle, your comrades trust you, and you must provide them with cover and eliminate potential threats.

Clint Eastwood continued, "Matthew, try it out, describe the behavior of the mother and son in the plainest and simplest way possible from a bystander's point of view, without any supervisory emotion."

He reminded again, "Remember, Chris Kyle is a well-trained ace sniper. He won't sympathize with others indiscriminately. His sympathy for other people's hair may directly cost his comrades' lives!"

Matthew had already figured it out, and nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let's do it again."

After speaking, he moved his hands and feet, and once again lay down behind the simple bunker in the attic, and set up his sniper rifle again.

After Matthew's adjustment, the shot was successfully shot.

But before the next shot, Clint Eastwood came over again.

"Keep the current state." Although Clint Eastwood is old, but still full of energy, "You are the protector of your comrades, remember this!"

Matthew understands the meaning of Clint Eastwood's reminder. Chris Kyle said that he didn't feel much guilt or psychological burden after shooting the mother and son on the battlefield in Iraq. Because they took up arms, and if he didn't shoot, his comrades would be killed.

Clint Eastwood is an old and solid character, like the hardest stone in this desert, and Matthew is not a person who overflows with sympathy. At the beginning of the film project, Chris Kyle was determined. The character and position of the character.

This is definitely not a character who repents at every turn, this is just a tough cowboy.

The old cowboy told Matthew more than once that this is the soul of the film - not only am I brave, but I know why!

Frankly speaking, this is to restore the real psychological state and situation of the protagonist as much as possible while ensuring the effect of the film.

Of course, these are the truths described by Chris Kyle himself.

The set male protagonist is a natural "sheepdog" who fights "wolves", protects "sheep", finds the most suitable position in the harsh SEAL training camp, and then witnesses his compatriots on 911. After the tragedy, the newly married Yan Er went to the Middle East for only 3 days and started his legendary journey...

Chris Kyle himself said ~www.readwn.com~ His original intention is very simple, to protect his family and protect his homeland.

On the battlefield, he can be considered to have found the best position in his life. One mission after another, one battle after another, the U.S. military who is caught in street fighting has no advantages compared with the local armed forces. No matter how high-tech weapons are, they are ultimately people-to-people. wrestling between,

Therefore, when the male protagonist points his sights at women and children in this scene, his calmness and decisiveness are daunting. On the battlefield, it is either your death or my death. This is the ultimate choice of right or wrong. , fighting for life.

Clint Eastwood mainly shoots the actions and performances of the male protagonist, and basically has a brush with the details of the psychological level.

In fact, Matthew is actually quite disgusted by the overly delicate psychological descriptions in war films. Brown Williams, who has participated in many wars in Africa and the Middle East, once said that when a person is really in a state of tension on the battlefield , There is very little energy to think about metaphysical things. The most typical example is the justice and political correctness of wars. They are all bullshit.

Besides, the big-headed soldiers didn't have such a high level of consciousness.

The finalized Chris Kyle's character design, Matthew believes that audiences, especially North American and Western audiences, should like it.

This is also an artificial elevation of Chris Kyle on the basis of the prototype.

He is the type who can remain strong in the most brutal living environment. Of course, he is not stubborn, he is just the kind of person whose desire and courage to protect others can overcome vulnerability and fear.

These abilities, even if they are placed in the real society, are quite cherished by the whole society.
