The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone) - Chapter 2478

At the 89th Academy Awards held in March 2017, a total of nine works appeared on the best picture nomination list. “City of Philharmonic” and “Moonlight Boy” are undoubtedly the most eye-catching, “Blood Battle Hacksaw” Works such as “Ling”, “Descent”, and “Hidden Figures” also gather many topics, and there is also a unique independent work, “Manchester by the Sea”.

The investment cost of this work is only 8.5 million US dollars. The style is cool, the core is simple, and the story is concise. There is no thorough reflection, no majestic epic, and even “Juneo” and “Little Sunshine Beauty”. The gimmicks that touched the nerves of the awards season were all lackluster, but unexpectedly became a shiny black horse above the Oscars, brilliantly brilliant.

Nominations for six core awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, etc., demonstrate the solidity and excellence of this work at the performance level; in the end; Successfully won the best actor and best original screenplay two golden figures, which is generally regarded by the mainstream media as another important victory for independent works.

As far as Lan Li is concerned, his love for “Manchester by the Sea” is not inferior to the “City of Philharmonic”, and even slightly better from a certain perspective.

Because “City of Philharmonic” is about dreams, and “Manchester by the Sea” is about performance-after all, Lanly is still an actor.

“Manchester by the Sea” tells a very simple story.

Lee-Chandler is a repairman. After learning the news of his brother’s death, he returned to his hometown-Manchester by the sea to deal with his brother’s funeral. This is a small city in Massachusetts, not in the UK. That Manchester.

According to the will, he became the guardian of his brother’s son Patrick. He was going to bring Patrick back to Boston, but Patrick was unwilling to leave his hometown and friends; and he was unwilling to stay in this piece of sadness for a long time, because there was a period buried here that made him Desperate memories:

Once, his negligence caused the death of two daughters in the flames, and his wife left him.

Returning to his hometown this time, he met his ex-wife again-she has remarried and is about to become a mother again; at the same time, Patrick’s missing mother also reappears, hoping that Patrick can become a member of her new family. So, what should Lee do?

This is a story about sadness.

When accidents happen, when birth, old age, sickness and death come, when parting comes… Life will always go on, everyone must find a new track to continue, because “the dead are dead, the living are like this”, this seems to have become a life The law of life, people who are alive need to live after all.

However, in Lee Chandler’s body, those wounds and pains never disappeared, haunting him like a nightmare. More importantly, he could not get rid of and refused to get rid of it. The **** wounds were placed there, always Never healed, the broken heart may always be like this.

Everyone has the right to refuse to reconcile with the past.

Undoubtedly, this is an emotional movie. All the weight falls on Lee Chandler’s body. He is so heavy that it almost crushes his shoulders. Those bitterness, those sorrows, and those struggles have never dissipated. He used Carrying my own faults and life pains throughout my life.

But the real beauty of the movie is that it presents the bits and pieces of life with delicate and trivial brushstrokes. It is not a sentence that “everything will be okay” can heal everything, and it is not a fist that can really cheer yourself up. Yes, it’s not that you can start a new chapter after you “cheer up” like a movie at all times. In real life, some things are a little painful and will never be erased.

Although it is a movie, it tells about life.

A true and delicate story, with a heartbreaking tenderness. At the emotional level, at the emotional level, especially at the story level, it is easy to touch the softness of the deep heart, maximize the charm of the character, and when it comes to the end, everyone is looking forward to a self-reconciliation result. I hope Li- Chandler was able to cheer up again, but the movie did not. Just like life, we will not find an ending. To live, we can only go on.

Undoubtedly, the focus of the whole work falls on Lee Chandler. It can even be said that it is a one-man show. The success or failure of the actor is crucial.

In the previous life, Cassie Affleck starred in this work. He really interprets what is called “facial paralysis acting”—different from his brother Ben Affleck, Cassie has shown it from the first work of his debut. She shows her fine acting skills, and her emotional penetration from her eyes to her movements is excellent.

As early as 2007, Cassie showed his talent with “Death of the Sharpshooter” and “The Missing Baby”. The former even won him the first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop. After that, he has always been Active in the field of independent film, constantly polishing his acting skills.

Cassie’s performance is delicate and gentle, and she can always show the level of emotion through her eyes when she is silent, which is not easy for actors.

The overall tone of “Manchester by the Sea” is sad, but sadness also has different levels, different forms and different expressions. It is not necessarily that only tears are sadness, nor that only wailing is pain. More often , Heartbroken and silent. Casey undoubtedly succeeded.

As far as Lan Li is concerned, “City of Philharmonic” and “Manchester by the Sea” are both very favorite works. They can almost go hand in hand. But from the perspective of actors, “Manchester by the Sea” is even better. , As if “Burst Drummer” is better than “City of Philharmonic”——

The role performance space is wider. As an audience and as an actor, the perspective of examining the work is different.

When filming “Transcendence”, Lan Li was actually looking forward to “Manchester by the Sea”, because both characters showed a kind of sadness and despair under the state of facial paralysis, and “Manchester by the Sea” was even better than “Manchester by the Sea”. Detachment” goes further, and the levels and strength of sorrow are richer.

In addition, Tony Kayer is in “transcendence”, through painting, narration, supporting roles and other means, to give more space for the character to show; but in “Manchester by the Sea”, these spaces are completely compressed, Kenneth Rowe Lonergan (-Lonergan) gives all the weight to the actor.

This also means that performance is more difficult.

Kenneth Ronald is a director who is a screenwriter. Robert De Niro and Billy Christo starred in the comedy film “Boss Steps Away” series, which is Kenneth’s screenwriter on stage. Then he She also served as the screenwriter of the “New York Gangs”; as early as 2000, Kenneth tried to write and direct by herself, and she succeeded in getting a lot of praise for her “You Can Trust Me”, which is the same as the “New York Gangs.” Won him two Oscar nominations for best original screenplay.

After finishing the “New York Gangs” script in 2002, Kenneth entered a long incubation period. It was not until 2011 that he appeared in the public eye with another self-written and self-directed “Margaret”. The East Coast film critics won numerous praises, and successively received many nominations from the Boston Film Critics Association and Chicago Film Critics, but unfortunately they were not able to go further in the awards season.

It is this work that gave Kenneth and Matt Damon the opportunity to collaborate.

Later, Matt Damon proposed an inspiration idea, which he thought fits Kenneth’s style very well. After providing his own story idea to Kenneth, Kenneth completed the script creation, and then Matt hoped that he would serve as The director and lead actor put the story on the big screen.

As early as the beginning of last year, the script was completed, but “Manchester by the Sea” was too sad and too cold. The whole script structure is far from the Hollywood frame structure. It is completely unreasonable to play cards, let alone the ending. Sadness in the end scared all Hollywood producers away.

Even Matt Damon personally did not find investment, so the script appeared on Sisyphus Pictures’ desktop—but not specifically to request Sisyphus Pictures’ investment, but to cast the net. , It is estimated that all production companies have delivered the script, waiting for a response.

When Lan Li selected the script last year, he selected “Manchester by the Sea”, but at that time all his schedules were full, so I didn’t consider it for the time being; I went around, and a year and a half passed, this work Reappearing again-this further proves that this work, like “Drunk Country Folk Songs”, is not in the style of the awards season at all. Otherwise, with the name and contacts of Matt Damon, it would not be possible to be reduced to this.

So, what happened this time?

Matt Damon could not refuse Ridley Scott, he agreed to star in “The Martian”, because of the schedule conflict, he gave up “Manchester by the Sea” and transferred this work to Kenneth for full disposal~www .mtlnovel.com~ is directed by Kenneth, and is responsible for finding investment and completing the filming.

Even Matt couldn’t call the film company, and Kenneth made it even more difficult.

As a result, the “Martian Rescue” has been filmed and officially released on October 2, “Manchester by the Sea” still has not been able to find investment.

According to the development curve of the previous life, Matt will once again take over “Manchester by the Sea”, but he no longer directs or starred. Instead, he will introduce Cassie Affleck as a matchmaking bridge, and then find Amazon-that is the online store. Shopping platform, they are also trying to build their own online streaming platform, so they established Amazon Pictures, and finally completed the investment by Amazon, which announced the official start of filming.

The situation in this life changed slightly. Sisyphus Pictures cut off Amazon. “Manchester by the Sea” was intercepted by Andy in advance and handed over to Lan Li, looking forward to reawakening Lan Li’s enthusiasm——

If Lan Li refuses, then the film should return to its original established track, and Amazon will win the first Oscar nomination in their history for this work.

Now, it’s all about Lan Li.
