Chapter 1256： Deconstruct roles
What's wrong with yourself? Why did you lose control? Is it really like what Matthew said, in fact, all of this is controlled by himself from beginning to end, the devil is not Matthew, but himself?
Hugo forced himself to calm down and don't panic because of this possible fact. He must sort out his thoughts and find a way to control, otherwise he is a demon, regardless of whether the demon's personality is Matthew or not.
There was a mess in his mind, Hugo was unable to find a clear idea at all, only fragments of thoughts, disorganized, from the recent "Death Row" crew to the memories of Lancaster’s childhood in Lanches, Then when he was rehearsing with band members on the school playground when he was a child, countless fragments filled his head, making Hugo feel that his head was about to explode.
But this time Hugo did not lose his calmness because of his irritability. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to gradually adapt in the darkness. Although the cry of Matthew's mother around him was still circulating, he recalled After the back of Adam just now, the vague but clear memories of the past calmed Hugo, and all the irritability slowly settled in the darkness.
Hugo thought of a movie, "Fatal id(. This movie is about split personality. The film enlarges the split personality infinitely, making each personality become an independent individual, and then fight each other, and finally there is only one subject. Personality stays.
In fact, from the perspective of psychoanalysis, the essence of multiple personalities is the separation of psychological processes. Characters with large differences in self-identity, character status, and cognition are gradually separated and become independent individuals. In short, they are angels and cognitions. The difference between the devil.
In fact, multiple personalities are different aspects of a personality, good and evil, meek and irritable, compromise and rebellion. When these different personalities begin to receive external stimuli from childhood, and after encountering a trigger point, they gradually separate and eventually form two. A completely different personality.
Of course, this is not absolute. In some cases of multiple personalities, there will be similarities between personalities. This needs to vary from person to person.
But in essence, it can be understood that multiple personalities are splitting different characteristics from one personality. It's like an adult who can't purely define his character. He has a kind side and naturally an evil side; he has a meek side and a violent side. Most people are a combination of multiple personalities, and then show more characteristics of a certain personality according to different people.
Therefore, people always say that everyone is a combination of angel and devil, but most people can control the devil and prevent their code of conduct from going beyond the shackles of moral laws. If you are more professional, you need to explain the difference and connection between the id, ego and superego.
However, Hugo didn’t know much about psychology. He just suddenly realized that what Matthew said is very likely to be the truth. Matthew’s personality is actually the dark side of Hugo’s heart, which is infinitely magnified by the process of performance research. , And then became independent, and then formed the personality of Matthew, which eventually led to loss of control. In essence, Matthew is part of Hugo.
This reminded Hugo of Catherine Hepburn's performance point of view to him before.
When an actor delves into the performance process, he must have sufficient understanding and cognition of the role, but this so-called "understanding and cognition" is based on the actor's own position, not the idea of a real person.
To put it simply, Hugo has never killed anyone. He will never know what it is like to kill someone. Even if he "killed someone," each murderer has a different psychological state after committing the crime. People will feel guilty, some will panic, and some will feel nothing. So, Hugo first did not know how Matthew felt when he killed, secondly he did not know the psychological state of Matthew after the murder, and thirdly he did not know the psychological experience of Matthew before he chose to kill.
As Catherine Hepburn said, it is impossible for an actor to experience all roles, because the actor is just a single person, he has his own life, but the role played by the actor has an infinite rich life. There is no way to be equivalent.
Therefore, the actor's understanding and cognition of the role is always constructed based on his own experience and knowledge. From this perspective, when an actor interprets a role, it can be called a performance, or it can be called an excavation from his own personality that is similar to the role, and then perform the interpretation according to his own life experience and mental understanding.
This is true when playing real characters, and even more so when playing virtual characters.
In 2012's "Lincoln (, Daniel Day-Lewis contributed amazingly stunning acting skills, which made him aspire to the Oscar statuette for the third time, becoming the only actor with three wins in film history.
Daniel Day-Lewis plays Lincoln. He can’t really understand Lincoln’s difficulties and struggles when making decisions, because he has not experienced that period, he has not experienced the torment of freeing slaves and confrontation between North and South, his growth atmosphere and life. The experience is even more than that of Lincoln.
Daniel can only learn a few words from historical materials, and then construct the background of the era based on his own understanding and knowledge, and then think about his feelings and sufferings in that position, and use his own perspective to interpret Lincoln. Therefore, Daniel is playing the real Lincoln in history, but at the same time he is showing the side of his personality that is similar to Lincoln, or using his thoughts to construct a "Lincoln as he thinks".
Robert De Niro plays Travis in "Taxi Driver (., which is considered to be one of the famous classic characters in film history, and he also pushed the method of acting to the pinnacle.
In order to play Travis, Robert went to experience a taxi driver for two months. He actually carried passengers on the streets and lanes of New York, observing this era from the perspective of a taxi driver. Travis is a fictitious character. Robert’s interpretation of Travis is actually precipitated by his experience in these two months. Then he combines Robert’s outlook on life, world outlook, and values to construct Travis. Si this fictional character.
Robert used his own experience and self-knowledge to figure out Travis' mentality, thoughts, and behaviors. In the end, Trasway is a role that belongs only to Robert, a unique existence.
The same Travis is played by Al Pacino or Dustin Hoffman. It must be another image. The difference in appearance is part of it. The most important thing is the actor’s understanding of the role and the actor’s own Experience, experience and thoughts will all lead to the deviation of the character's personality and image.
It can be said that if a person knows whether he drinks water or warms, one thousand readers will have one thousand Hamlet.
Performance can be said to be performing a role, but it can also be said to be performing the part of one's personality that is closest to the role. In the final analysis, the performance actually starts from the actor himself, and the performance that separates the actor's own situation cannot be called a performance at all.
For example, when Hugo just started to learn acting, he just imitated. He can imitate the different performances of many actors, but these performances lack the charm, because he cannot capture the mental state of the actor during the performance-he is not the actor, so Hugo must find his own from the imitation Something, something that suits you.
Therefore, the "performance" itself has the personal characteristics of an actor, even if it is just a vase role, it is no exception, just like Megan Fox and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (.-) are in " "Transformers" also plays the role of a vase, but the effects presented by the two people are quite different. The point is just that after the actor has incorporated his personal characteristics, he will use how to express and express. The first half is method-based acting, and the second half is performance-based acting.
For example, in "Schindler's List", Amon Goss struggles with thoughts. Each actor must have a different focus. Some people focus on body language to show, while others focus on the narration and expression of lines, while Hugo. It focused on the look in the eyes, that kind of aura bursting from the inside out gave Amon's soul. This is the difference in expression. There is no correct answer, only the answer that suits you.
In the final analysis, Amon-Goss is Hugo's understanding of that period of history. It is Hugo's outline based on the oral narratives of those survivors, combined with his own understanding, to construct the role of Amon-Goss in his mind. It can be said that this role is also part of Hugo, a Hugo who "believes in Nazi speech under the background of World War II". Hugo revealed the coldest and most cruel side of his personality, and burst out with terrifying power. .
The Matthew Poncelet constructed by Hugo is actually not the real Elmer Patrick Sonnell, nor the Matthew Poncelet constructed by Tim Robbins in the script, but based on Hugo Matthew Poncelet constructed from his thoughts, Hugo’s experience, and Hugo’s understanding.
Essentially, Matthew is part of Hugo’s personality, which belongs to the dark, weak, and violent side and then is shaped by Hugo combining the script, the role, and the story. And then develop a complete personality.
However, Hugo has never realized this: the role and the actor are inseparable. Hugo has always cultivated the role as an independent personality. It has been successful in the past, but when playing Anonymous, Hugo gradually realized that the blurred boundary between the role and the actor, the role can not be born out of thin air. A character is inextricably linked to the actor himself. It is impossible for a completely separated character to exist, and it is impossible to dig out things that have never existed in one's own personality.
Constructing a thing out of thin air is the job of a scientist, not an actor. Scientists can imagine incredible things like rockets, airplanes, and telephones out of thin air, but actors cannot create them out of thin air because it is unreasonable.
Just like when George Lucas was conceiving an image of an alien, he must still conform to the "human body rules", because George himself is a human being, not a real alien, and he has never seen an alien. All his understanding is based on existing sciences such as human anatomy and environmental theory, so even if aliens look weird, he still fits the human vision.
This is especially true for actors. The role is part of the actor's personality, an inseparable part!
Hugo forced himself to calm down and don't panic because of this possible fact. He must sort out his thoughts and find a way to control, otherwise he is a demon, regardless of whether the demon's personality is Matthew or not.
