The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

This used to be the miserable situation of the people in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. In contemporary society, people can hardly see such a miserable situation. Renly is not an innocent and ignorant rich boy. He knows that there are still countless people in Africa who are facing the dilemma of hunger and cold, and there are still countless people in the Middle East who are still struggling to survive under the fire of war. Even the United States has a strong The rich and the poor are divided, and the scene in the slums is a mess.

However, Renly never believed that he would see the pictures in Du Fu's poems with his own eyes.

Renly saw the prostitute again two days before filming officially started on "Aloof", and she died. He died at the mouth of a dark alley, the trash can was two steps away, flies and stray dogs were cruising beside the corpse, and wet rats could even be seen running beside him. But, no one cares.

Renly called "911" and notified the police to come and deal with it, and this human tragedy came to an end. What's even more chilling is that this is not an exception. Even in the bustling New York, this situation is still happening every day.

In a trance, Renly seemed to see the nurse, the disintegrated and self-absorbed nurse, the dazed and tearful nurse, the exhausted and tortured nurse, the one who shuddered under Henry's stern condemnation. A trembling nurse. In her he saw Henry, the deep despair and rigid numbness so familiar.

Henry is weak and the nurse is also weak, but the two weak are still hurting each other: she ignored her grandfather's request and let the sick patients continue to sink; he ignored her exhaustion and heaviness, wanton. All his anger was vented out. The two weaklings poked one wound after another on each other's scarred bodies.

In the carer, Henry not only saw himself, but also the group of students in the school, Meredith, Sarah, and the students who stubbornly resisted life but ended up covered in bruises.

They are all weak in life, or rather, they are all outcasts of God.

In this terrible society, there is no hope, not even a shred of hope, the cruel reality swallows up their vitality and soul bit by bit, some people try to resist, some people try to escape, some people try to escape. Some people try to struggle, some people try to vent, some people try to accept...

But in the end, everything doesn't matter, because they can't see the exit, even if they accept it in dejection, their mouths full of bitterness, pain in their stomachs, and sadness in their hearts are still tormenting them, and life will not change. easy. No one knows where the end is, and no one knows whether they can persevere to the end. They can only be like walking dead, living, just living.

Even Henry himself. He was deceiving himself, giving those children a glimmer of hope, expecting them to reach the end, but he was unwilling to shoulder the responsibility, and whenever the relationship got closer, he fled in embarrassment. Just in such a despicable and shameful way, reminding myself that he is still alive, not walking dead, at least living with purpose.

But tonight, all the masks were torn apart. He saw his grandfather's weakness, he saw the shoveling of the carer, and he saw the darkness of society, the endless night that could never go out. Displaced and isolated in his heart, dragging his ankles into the abyss little by little, his emotions collapsed like this, completely and completely.

He hates himself, hates life, hates society...and hates living even more. Life is really too long, lacking the courage to die, and lack of motivation to live, every day of life is like suffering. So is the identity of a teacher, this layer of camouflage, still meaningful?

Renly stopped, he understood, he finally understood.

despair. This is the heart of the play, not sadness, not pain, but despair, despair of grandfather, despair of society, despair of education, despair of oneself. That kind of despair erupted from the inside out, and the pain that had been suppressed for a long time in the depths of the heart was released heartily. A trace of fantasy was also shattered, cruel reality invaded, and the overwhelming despair completely shattered his emotions.

Because of my grandfather, because of carers, because of students, because of myself, because of my mother, because of society, because of life.

At this moment of despair, Henry saw the scene on the bus: a young girl/prostitute was serving a drunken alcoholic without any cover, and it appeared in front of his eyes like an Italian absurdity. Comedy, cruel and ironic, cold and banter, the society's dilapidated and dark bloody show in front of Henry.

The dark despair hit Henry's soul quickly, fiercely, accurately and violently. All the sorrows stopped suddenly, all the tears stopped abruptly, and the broken soul became moribund, almost unable to breathe. Then, he calmed down again, looking at everything in front of him numbly, stiffly, and indifferently. Deadly despair, even the pain has begun to fail.

Throughout the whole script, Henry had always maintained a relatively positive attitude before this night, and once again devoted himself to the teaching work of the new school, getting to know Sarah and Meredith, he did what he could. Within the scope, once again try to guide those students who are in dire straits with education.

But this time the despair is like a punch

, woke him up in one go. This made him start to re-examine his useless work. He realized that he had been fragmented, and he couldn't even redeem himself, so how could he redeem others? So, he started to distance himself quietly, and the reason why he didn't leave was just because he lacked the courage to cut himself off, so he repeated the previous cycle like a corpse, continuing to live in pain, suffering, and inertia.

It can be seen from the scenes after that, Henry has always kept a distance from Meredith, and even in the face of Meredith's desperate cry for help, he curled up like a turtle in his shell; Rika's active attack, Henry passively gave help, just because he couldn't bear it, he provided a roof, and then with Erika, he deliberately kept a distance from each other. After getting along gradually, he realized that the two had already The connection was established, and Henry cut it off in time, found the government/government aid agency, and picked up Erica.

It was a turning point, not because Henry met Erica. But because Henry really tasted despair, despair of despair. The kind of despair that can't see any possibility in the entire dark society.

From the perspective of performance alone, the effect presented will not be very different, because the context of the performance is still the same; but in terms of the origin of the performance, it is very different.

Renly's performance just now was based on emotional outbursts, from my grandfather's weakness and embarrassment, from the guilt and sadness after scolding the carer, and from the dark and cold memory of my mother, the kind of homelessness. Gui's loneliness and loneliness led to a crash-like cry. This is similar to the performance of the previous Adrien Brody, but it is also the performance that Renly is trying to change.

The right performance should be based on desperate torture.

He was aware of his self-deception, about his grandfather, about his mother, about carers, about school, and about society. That kind of despair is like a heavy fist, ruthlessly smashing all masks and protections, revealing his most vulnerable and true side, and his emotions are too suppressed and too fierce to be able to control himself.

All emotions are derived from despair, the embarrassment and suffocation trapped in social reality, the helplessness and heaviness pressed in the reality of life, detonated all emotions.

At the end of despair, he saw Erica. The self who used to be, the self who was tortured by society, the self who was walking alone in a dark life, the self who lost confidence in life because of despair... This is not only the feeling of Erica and Henry. To maintain it, it also connects the time point of Erica's appearance with the overall core of the script, reflecting the predicament of education and the disaster of society.

In other words, this scene is a scene that makes the emotional transfer and sublimation of the entire script coherent, including after that, Henry's indifference and rejection of Erica, even cruelty, can find clues to make the story. The core becomes complete and deep.

From the professional standpoint of the academic school, the context of performance is different.

Before that, Renly's performance line was "sadness - more sadness - despair - numbness". This kind of performance has enough layers, the emotion is clear and in place, but it lacks a clear main line, and it is impossible to go further into the theme .

After sorting out his thoughts, Renly's performance should be "desperation and self-blame - pain and sobriety - numbness and torment". Following this main line, it can further develop into "self-protective alienation and indifference, sadness or inability." The restraint begins to slowly reveal.” In short, on the bus, emotions have undergone earth-shaking changes, and when leaving the bus, the temperament and state of the whole person have also changed.

The main line of the entire performance and the script complement each other, and follow the director's ideas to further explore the depth of the theme core and truly make the film complete. This is what Renly has been striving for, which is different from the last Adrian's version, interpreting Tony's intentions, and interpreting the story with the characters according to Renly's own ideas.

This is the last piece of the puzzle! It is also the most important piece!
