To the top, it is perfect.

That's the only thought on Ethan Cohen's mind at this moment.

For the past year, from Cannes to Venice to the Oscars, everyone has said that Renly put on a par excellence in "Gravity" and "Drunken Ballad," a true representation of today's The highest level of acting skills is not only the first young actor of the Y generation, but even in the entire Hollywood, it is comparable to the peak strength of Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis.

It is precisely because of this praise that the hat is a bit too big for a 24-year-old actor, plus the historical moment of egot, which leads to overdoing it. Throughout the awards season, everyone is rejecting it. Renly, despising and belittling Renly has gradually become the mainstream of the industry, and it seems that everyone is "kindly" cooling Renly, looking forward to him having a longer career.

Ethan was noncommittal.

As a director, Ethan has personally experienced every performance of every scene of "Drunken Country Ballads". Although he is not the type of director who is good at training his acting skills, he can still really feel that Renly gives roles in the performance. The delicate texture and three-dimensional depth of the film are indeed far ahead of their peers. Even when Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence, who are now successful, are compared with Renly, the gap is obvious.

For those cooling remarks, Ethan dismissed them; and for those praise words, Ethan fully agreed.

To be honest, Renly is the only candidate in Ethan's mind for this year's Oscar competition. In terms of strength, talent, and aura, it is difficult for other competitors to compete head-on with Renly, but... the Oscar competition has never been The competition of strength, even if Ethan wanted to witness Renly's second best actor, he was powerless.

In other words, Ethan also believes that "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Ballads" are indeed the peak of Renly. He doesn't think anyone can challenge Renly's two performances in the short term-

Yes, even if they are not qualified to challenge, let alone break through or overtake, even Renly himself may not be able to replicate such a feat. After all, such a difficult and wonderful performance is unbelievable for the consumption of energy and physical strength. The actors are also mortal/flesh/body, and the performance state is like a competitive state, which is bound to fluctuate. If you want to copy again in a short period of time, the difficulty will increase exponentially, and even after some actors release all their energy for a short time, they will immediately return to mediocrity, leaving everyone alone.

Jamie Foxx is such a typical example, 2004's "King of the Soul" and "Murder with a Knife" burst into flames instantly; but that year seemed to consume all energy, and then there was no performance worth mentioning. .

But today, Ethan had to overthrow his own idea——

"Boom Drummer" is the real pinnacle!

The premise is that the film itself discusses the process of finding the peak of art - the game between Fletcher and Andrew, from the start to the uphill to the setback, and then the comeback is severely hit, and the bottom of the valley destroys hope. In the end, it breaks and stands, and completes the baptism and sublimation of the soul with the act of killing the father, and achieves perfection.

The entire film clearly presents the entire process of artistic transformation and sublimation, even more complete than "Black Swan".

Although Damien Chazelle is slightly inferior to Darren Aronofsky in terms of skill control, including shot scheduling, editing, and lighting, compared to David Fincher It is very young, but the integrity of the performance complements the director's work, making the film's integrity complete.

This also means that "Booming Drummer" is inherently different from "Drunken Country Ballads" and "Gravity". Actors have gained a role platform that can openly explore the ceiling of acting skills and artistic barriers, if they can perform well , then it is bound to be radiant and unstoppable!

That was the case when Natalie Portman starred in "Black Swan."

In "The Bursting Drummer", Renly truly shows the psychological transformation on the road of artistic exploration, from physical torture to psychological collapse, and then to the double baptism of psychology and physiology. In the sea of ​​art, he found his true and splendid self, and reached its peak in the last performance, showing the soul of art unreservedly in front of the audience, bringing a kind of pure supreme enjoyment.

Wonderful! Brilliant! It's amazing that people can't help but want a standing ovation!

In particular, the contrast and reversal of Andrew and Fletcher's momentum vividly and truly interprets the "father/father" plot on the road of artistic upgrading, and Nina in "Black Swan" strangles the superego, releases the id, and breaks through. The transformation of the self reflects each other, showing the fission and sublimation of the spiritual level in the process of artistic transformation.

If that's all, the performance of "Boom Drummer" and the performance of "Black Swan" can only be regarded as comparable. To a certain extent, Nina played by Natalie Portman is slightly better. Or is it because director Darren Aronofsky's lens gives the characters and the film a terrifying temperament, which complements the tangled struggle between the superego, the id, and the ego, making the performance unbelievably powerful. charm.

But the reason Renly is Renly is because he can always surprise him!

In the course of the performance, when the tension and daring were all out, Renly subtly restrained his emotions, and pressed all the emotional changes that were released inward.

Complex psychological change texture——

The so-called metamorphosis of artistic inspiration, no matter which method is used to describe it, is too jerky and too eloquent to describe it. Even using the beat of a drum kit to describe it is pale and powerless, and it is far from being able to show the subtle changes in the artist's inspiration; while Renly It tells all the beginnings and turns through the eyes, combined with the essential transformation of drum performance, showing this sense of artistic upgrading, and finally leaving the audience thinking and recalling space.

Eyes, the simplest but also the most difficult part of the performance, Renly gave infinite possibilities: the eyes of Andrew and Nicole on the second call, the eyes of Andrew and Fletcher's bar conversation, the eyes of Andrew and his father hugging backstage, Andrew's eyes The look in the final performance...

In the close-up shots, the psychological changes at each key turning point are all filled in the eyes. Compared with the publicity and release of the drum performance, the performances of artistic understanding and ideological transformation are all restrained and low-key, restrained and then restrained. , which also makes the performance of the whole work truly relaxed and retractable.

The most astonishing thing is that the complex emotional changes presented by those delicate performances can be reflected in the subsequent plots. The combination of the two helps the audience to complete understanding and substitution, and at the same time, they are completed together step by step. Sublimation, shock gushed out from the bottom of my heart.

This power of control, this power of interpretation, this power of expression, and the most important thing is this spirituality, with every gesture, a frown and a smile, Natalie is easily thrown away in the "Black Swan" The performance, the natural and flowing emotional interpretation, is really too exciting and too terrifying, and even makes Natalie become clumsy-obviously overpowering, and lack of layers, more of a single line all the way go to the end.

Of course, Natalie's performance in "Black Swan" is already top-notch. Now, among the Y-generation actors in the entire industry, this can still be called the top level, and her strength is beyond doubt.

It's just that Renly is too defiant.

Before today, Ethan never knew what a "perfect performance" was, and even those veteran actors couldn't make him really feel it - not that they were not good enough, but that Ethan lacked performance savvy And understanding, as if some people will never be able to appreciate the pros and cons of spirits or good food.

But starting from today, Ethan has truly felt the weight of the word "perfection", not just the drumming of blood, not just the breakthrough of mental torture, not just the overthrow of personal/kill/father, not only the The icy coldness that cuts off the fetters, but also the paranoia and madness that radiates from the inside to the outside, even the eyes and even the soul have been completely transformed.

When Andrew broke through Fletcher's repression and truly achieved drumming perfection; at the same time, Renly also broke through the shackles of performance and truly achieved acting perfection. The double breakthrough in and out of the play broke the barriers of the big screen and brought a hearty and shocking viewing experience.

Beyond "Gravity", beyond "Drunken Country Ballads", and most importantly, beyond Renly himself, touching a whole new world of performance.

Inexplicably, Ethan recalled a brief interview with Renly during the Venice Film Festival. He mentioned at the time, "I now hope to try more different styles and types of roles and explore more possibilities for performance."

The words themselves seem official and polite, as almost every actor replies in every promotion period for the film, "I want to challenge some new characters and try something different." But everyone knows that this is just promotional language , most of the actors in Hollywood are repeating themselves throughout their careers, no one tries new things because they know that even if they try, nothing will change.

But now, Ethan has come to understand that Renly wants to challenge different character types such as comedy, action, horror, etc., and even the performance of commercial films - this is not only to relax himself, but more importantly, because, in the plot, At the level of the role of the class, he has already seen the mountains and mountains, and even a work like "Nightcrawler" can't bring more sense of challenge to Renly.

It's a little weird to say that, Renly is only twenty-four years old; but after watching "The Popping Drummer", this is what Ethan really feels!

Art is perfect!

Yes, Renly touched the perfection of art.
