Best Actor

    "Don't tell me this shit!"

    "Nothing will happen to you."

    "No? Of course!"

    "You are a big hero. With your reputation, he dare not touch you a finger."

    "The problem is my reputation, do you think that if you kill a few drug dealers, Wolffield will take you seriously? Do you think this will make them stand out? They want to catch big fish, they want to catch me through you."

    "But you're innocent, Will."

    "Yes, I'm a good cop, but they always find a way to attack you, think about the cases I've done, all the cases I've done, think about the ruffians on the street ."

    "Nonsense, you have no reason to let them catch."

    "Where's Dubos?"

    "It's different."

    "This is different?"

    "Walfield doesn't want to talk about that kind of scum being released."

    "It's a chain reaction, and once it starts, it can't be stopped."

    "I want to give it a try, man, I've got a family to support, and Wolffield promises me there won't be too many penalties and it can be slowed down."

    "We are the police, this is not only our business, but also all the people who depend on us, they also have families! I have been a good policeman all my life, why did you destroy it so easily? To get that **** from the Ministry of the Interior to be the police chief? Or to play golf with him or the mayor and anyone else who wants to curry favor?"

    "Done? Sorry, I have to compromise."

    To be frank, this opposing scene is very exciting. Although it cannot be said to be so exciting that it can be entered into a textbook, both Sean and Pacino fully expressed the emotions of the characters, making the whole conflict contain dew.

    The crux of the conflict scene in this restaurant is that it is hidden and hidden, at least from the script.

    The plot is not complicated. The hero played by Pacino, the shrewd policeman Will, and the partner Happ played by Sean are ordered to investigate the murder of a 17-year-old girl in a remote town in Alaska. thing. After contacting the local police, the two came to the hotel to stay overnight and had dinner in the restaurant. By the way, they talked about the previous events, which is the reason why they came to Alaska.

    Old policeman Will is a good man and a policeman who hates evil. He is very famous and well-known in the local area. But this time, when chasing a pedophile, he made a mistake. Everyone knew that the **** did it, but there was no evidence to convict him, so he was angry, out of a sense of justice in his heart , Will forged evidence and caught the pedophile.

    Unexpectedly, the lawyer of the other party is a cunning person. Although there is no definite evidence of Will forging evidence, he seized the loophole to make a big fuss, and thus alarmed many people, so the police An internal investigation began. As Will's long-time partner, Harp was naturally called to question or intimidate, and Harp needed to support his family, so he had to make a deal with the officials sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there were also many sympathizers in the police station. Therefore, the director will send Will and Harp to the past through the murder case in Alaska, so that they can temporarily stay away from it all.

    Then, when the two were preparing to eat in the restaurant, they quarreled over this topic. As an old partner, and for more consideration, Will was very dissatisfied with Harp's compromise. The laws of the United States are sometimes very strange. For example, there is almost no vindication, because if a prosecutor or a police officer is prosecuted because of a wrong case, and the other party successfully overturns the case, then countless lawyers will come forward. , to question all the cases he has handled, and then gather a group of people to investigate, and then continue to sue to seek compensation from the government.

      Courts pressured and misled the media and jury to make the case hard. Even if the case was eventually withdrawn, it was mostly withdrawn on the grounds of insufficient evidence, rather than the police and prosecutors being wrong.

    In short, if you are not a powerful person, if you can't afford a high-priced lawyer and team, once you are wronged in a very bad case, then you can expect to be stabbed in the media, and then Let's wait for the amnesty, but the crime will still stay on the head forever. Although this system encourages the judiciary to handle cases indiscriminately, it also allows many criminals and unscrupulous lawyers to take advantage of it. Therefore, in the movie, the old policeman Will, who is dedicated to fighting for justice, is extremely unwilling.

    Here, Sean needs to show restrained helplessness as much as possible, and Pacino also shows restrained dissatisfaction and even anger as much as possible, after all, the two have been partners for many years, and the other side faces The problems are also clear, but they are unable to step back, thus laying the groundwork for later stories. This kind of calm on the surface, but full of contradictions and surging undercurrents, is a very test of the actor's skills. The calm on the surface is destined to give people a rich emotional feeling. Body language cannot be used too much, but the following contradictions and The undercurrent has to be revealed through subtle changes in tone and expression, which is not easy.

    In the eyes of the crew, Pacino has no difficulty in doing this. It's not hard to get a good actor who deserves the credit. And the facts have also proved that their views are indeed correct, and Pacino is indeed correct.

    For example, when she said "no need" and "nothing has changed" at the beginning, her nonchalant tone and frowned eyebrows easily showed the dissatisfaction of the character. But after Sean uttered the line "I have to compromise", a quick "Don't talk nonsense" and wandering eyes suddenly lifted the atmosphere to a higher level.

    As for the urgency and pleading of "they want to catch big fish, they want to catch me through you" and the suppressed anger and ridicule of "we are the police" at the end, As a movie star actor, it is a matter of hand. Basically, the direction of the entire scene is in his hands.

    But the very young Sean can basically keep up with Pacino's rhythm, which surprised many crew members. In fact, Sean let them eat as soon as he finished his makeup. shock.

    You must know that Westerners are generally more mature, even if Sean has half Chinese blood, this is still the case. However, there are still very few young actors who try to play mature roles, because temperament and momentum cannot be learned, and they need experience and social tempering. No matter how hard the lines on the face are drawn, no matter how smooth the hair is combed back, no matter how thick the beard is, as long as you sit there, you can't stop the green feeling.

      People are no different, and many people—including Pacino—have been taken by surprise.

    There was even a production manager who didn't understand the situation. He walked over to him hilariously and said, "You can't sit here, sir, we want to make a movie."

    After that, his performance surprised them even more. Although Pacino controlled the rhythm and rushed forward within the range set by director Christopher, he always followed firmly behind him and was not thrown away .

    He didn't show much at first, but when he said "I have to compromise" for the first time, the small gesture of pursed lips and the appearance of taking back the half-finished gesture, He clearly expressed his guilt towards Will and his helplessness towards himself.

    Then the sentence "You are a big hero", he deliberately spoke slowly, word by word, and made it very clear, using such a small skill to match Pacino's sentence "Don't talk to I'm saying this shit" to highlight the unease inside the character, trying to be forgiven.

    And the phrase "finished? Sorry, I have to compromise" is even more frustrating and then helpless. The fluent transformation of the tone shows the complex character of the character.

    What an amazing young man.

    However, the crew thought it was good, but not necessarily the director.

    "What do you think of each other's performances?" Standing at the dining table, Christopher asked the two actors in front of him, "Tell me about it, sometimes exchange opinions on each other, also have benefits."

    Sean and Pacino looked at each other, and then Sean made a gesture of please, so Pacino spoke first: "Sean's small movements are a bit more, although to a large extent It can supplement the performance, but too much will have the opposite effect, and he feels a little too helpless."

    "Al can restrain his intense emotions a little more, and express them through part of his body language, instead of all the tone and expressions. The rest are perfect." Sean said relatively To put it mildly, in any case, Pacino is a long-established actor, but he still points out that there is nothing wrong with his small actions.

    Pacino smiled, not paying attention to what Sean said, just looking at Christopher, wondering what he would say.

    But Christopher didn't speak, just lowered his head and pinched his chin, thinking about things intently. Basically, from the start of filming until now, he didn't say a word. He just stood by the camera and watched Sean and Pacino perform. Seven or eight shots have been taken so far, sometimes in bits and pieces, sometimes in one shot, and this is the first time Christopher has asked the two actors for their opinion.

    "Frankly speaking," he finally spoke after a while, "I don't have anything to say at this time, your performances are all excellent, Al will not talk about it, after working together for so many days, each other They are already very familiar. But Sean gave me a surprise, and frankly, before today, I still had doubts about you, but your performance told me that I was wrong, although you are young, you are indeed a Very good cast, so... maybe we can try something else?"
