"Gravity" is a movie that Renli personally likes very much.

Above the 84th Oscars, among all the nominated works, Lan Li likes and admires "gravity" the most. Personally, he would choose this work as the best film, rather than a stable and moderate work like "Twelve Years of Slave".

To some extent, "Twelve Years of Slave" is just another variation of "the King's Speech". It is completely tailored for the awards season. There is no new idea in both the artistic and ideological levels. The old ones are filled with new wine, and even the new wine is not even the slightest. However, "gravity" is a work that is braver and more breakthrough than "social networks" and "Avatar".

Not only the 18-minute long shot at the beginning of the movie, the technical difficulty has exceeded that of "Avatar"; but also all the weightless shots afterwards, Alfonso set an almost insurmountable peak and truly created a new chapter.

For many viewers, it seems that they cannot capture the true excellence and profound meaning of "gravity". They are amazed at the power of technology and the wonderful visual effects, but they are also complaining about the weakness of the script and the mediocrity of the story. They are always involuntarily compared to "2001 Space Odyssey", and then believe that "gravity" is far inferior to the former.

In fact, "2001 Space Odyssey" and "Georgetic" are both extremely outstanding classics.

The former discusses the exploration of mysterious space and the rebellion of artificial intelligence. Just as its English title, "A-spae-odyssey", the Odyssey is an ancient Greek magnificent epic that is paralleled with Homer's epic. The core of the movie lies in exploration.

The latter discusses a completely different theme: the origin of human beings. The core of the movie is thinking.

Although the technical level of "gravity" is outstanding, what really touches this work is the metaphor in the simple script. Through the desperate situation in space, it implies the origin and birth of human beings, and explores the most primitive philosophical topics, which are similar to "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi".

Perhaps, the relatively weak and minimalist scripts have not been further explored, limiting the larger blueprint for the work to explore; but they are not enough to be profound, but they are enough to be called great!

All the core ideas, with the heroine as the carrier, quietly penetrate into the entire work. The birth of women, the reproduction of life and the origin of species, are presented through different picture compositions, giving up the script's line language, and purely using lens composition and actor performance to complete the communication.

Women, this gender attribute, plays a crucial role in this role.

In the last life, the heroine was starred by Sandra Brock. After winning the Oscar for Best Actress through "Weakness", there was a lot of controversy about Sandra, because it was also the Oscar-year-old that year, and Sandra stood out more because she was the short one among the short ones; but in the work "Gravity", Sandra truly proved herself.

"Georgetic force" is like "buried alive", both are desperate situations, and are both narrow spaces, and are still a one-man show. However, the performance difficulties of the two works are different.

First of all, the "buried alive" environment can be learned from and learned in real life; but the outer space environment of "gravity" is not.

Secondly, "burying alive" requires facing a sense of urgency in a narrow space; while "gravity" also requires loneliness and panic under a weightless environment.

Again, the overall appeal of "buried alive" is relatively simple. The thriller and fear films explore social reality through the settings of characters and scripts, but do not go further; while "gravity" is not just about survival, but also about life. The minimalist script relies on the protagonist.

It is certain and certainly to say that it is also a one-man show, but the difficulty and depth of the performance of "gravity" exceeds at least two levels of "buried alive".

Sandra's performance is delicate and profound, with a sense of layering, and brings all the performance aura inward, but it does not affect the transmission of emotions at all. Under the capture of the camera, it truly presents the poetic and philosophical film themes.

Above the Oscars that year, Sandra won the Oscar nomination for Best Actress for the second time with her outstanding performance. Although she lost to Cate Blanchett of "Blue Jasmine", Sandra still gained countless affirmations and truly established her position as the frontline in the industry, becoming the leader of Hollywood's No. 1 actress.

In the work "Gravity", there are only two actors, and all the performance weight is on the heroine.

In the last life, the two characters were starred by Sandra Brock and George Clooney respectively, but George completely became a supporting role and became the best witness of the shining and heat in Sandra's one-man show.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sandra has achieved "gravity", and "gravity" has also achieved Sandra.

From a technical perspective, Lan Li likes "gravity" very much; from a performance perspective, "gravity" will be a new test of the film industry. It is not only the actors' self-performance, but also needs to adapt to the magic of the movie, a dream factory, and make corresponding adjustments, which is a completely different challenge from the West End of London.

Logically, Lan Li had no reason to refuse, and she should even be eager to try.

However, from the film level, Lan Li believes that female characters can give the movie more connotation, especially philosophical reflection. This is a shortcoming that male actors do not have innately.

There is no doubt that Lanli felt deeply honored; but it was precisely because of her love that Lanli had to remain objective and calm: Sandra Brock is the best choice for "gravity".

"From your description, this is a secret room in outer space. Are you planning to film a work like "buried alive"?" Although the memory of the previous life is extremely clear, Alfonso has not yet said the details of the script. Lan Li cannot predict in advance in shockingly, but can only guide it in a tempting manner.

"'Buried alive'?" Alfonso's head was full of question marks.

Lan Li couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

In fact, Alfonso revealed last night that his understanding of Lanli was very limited, and it is very likely that he had never seen Lanli's works; his understanding of Lanli all comes from the performances of Almeda Theater, which also became the driving force that drove him to find Lanli. Therefore, "burying alive" may be a name that he had never heard of before.

This is the first time Lan Li has met an industry insider who has never heard of "burying alive", but not meeting it does not mean it is rare.

Lan Li did not explain further, but changed the topic with a smile, "I mean, what is the core idea of ​​the whole movie? Is it just survival? But this time, survival is quite special, and it happened in outer space. Apart from that, the movie has no other demands? Is there no other demands in the actor's performance?"

"Yes, of course." Alfonso's eyes lit up slightly, "The space dilemma is just an external wrapper, and its true meaning lies in the birth and origin of life."

Alfonso was not an actor after all, and his meaning may not be accurate when expressed. So he paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued, "It's like winter has passed and spring has arrived. On the frozen land, seeds take root and sprout little by little, and even need to crush the huge rocks pressing on his head, and grow tenaciously and unyieldingly. The reason why life is precious is that it is endless struggle."

"In an environment of absolute loneliness and endless despair, Ryan is like an embryo or seed. By the way, Ryan is the protagonist of the script. Ryan faces a dilemma. He can choose to give up, and then he will completely disappear and perish; he can also choose to persist, not necessarily survive, but at least he can grasp a ray of hope.

This is true for the birth of any life. Only after layers of tests, survival of the fittest, prey on the weak, and finally the youth of life is nurtured.

Being in outer space is an extremely special environment, just like a woman's son/palace, everything is quiet, deep in his heart's faith in survival and his attachment to the earth. That will and determination have become the essence of his continuous struggle, continuous hard work, and ultimately successful salvation."

The script of "Georgeousness" was written by Alfonso Caron and his son Jonas-uaron. Although he is not an actor, he is a screenwriter and director, and his mastery of the core of the story is pure and profound.

"It's like gravity." Lan Li said in a concluding manner.

This is the source of the title of the movie. The connection between Ryan and the earth, the connection between embryos and life, starting from the gravity of physical phenomena, pulling Ryan from the weightless state of outer space into the gravity state of earth; the will to survive at the philosophical level is like a seed breaking through the ground and germinating, breaking through many obstacles and blooming life.

A gravity, down-to-earth gravity, reflects the origin and birth of human beings. It is not weightlessness, not survival in space, but "gravity". As the same goes, "2001 space roaming" is about exploration, while "gravity" is about thinking.

Alfonso opened his mouth wide, his face and eyes full of shock, and he couldn't make any sound. He was stunned and squeezed, and finally exclaimed, "God!", and finally broke the shackles. He approached the round table with great excitement, "Yes, this work is called 'gravity'! Jesus Christ! How do you know!"

Oops.

After saying it, Lan Li exclaimed deep in her heart, and the details were exposed if she was not paid attention. Looking at the ecstatic Alfonso, Lan Li pretended that this incident had not happened just now and quietly changed the topic, "Since it is a discussion about the origin of life, using actresses, this should be a more appropriate choice. You know, those compositions of images and metaphors, the mother body represented by women, are always full of philosophical colors."

This is true in every work of art, especially painting. Among those great works, gender itself is a kind of symbol, combined with philosophy, myth, and literature, and through the composition and setting of painting, the artist's self-exploration and thinking are reflected.

"Ha!" Alfonso couldn't help laughing happily.
Chapter completed!
