Hugo has always felt that interpreting scripts is a very interesting thing, especially after he tried to write scripts himself, perhaps because Lancaster was born in classical literature, Hugo always has more perspectives on script reading. Some of my own interpretations, regardless of whether they are over-interpreted or not, at least make reading the script a very pleasant thing.

In fact, a truly excellent script does not deliberately preach, nor does it take the initiative to instill its own ideas into the audience, which is too simple and rude. If the screenwriter and director can separate the story from the standpoint of a third party, explain the story objectively, and then let the audience make their own judgments and slowly recall, this will make the story more exciting. Because there is no absolutely correct truth in this world-unless it is a scientific law, everyone will have their own different views on the same thing. This is the reason why the whole world is rich and colorful.

There are a thousand Hamlet for a thousand spectators, and that's the truth.

This is the case when Hugo created "Before Sunrise". The argument between Jesse and Selena is not to draw a conclusion, but to exchange ideas. They need to accept each other’s differences and also trigger each other’s Inspiration, and the audience will have their own unique views after watching the movie. This is the greatest charm of the movie.

The same is true of the "seven deadly sins". Hugo's understanding is a perspective, not necessarily correct, but it is a special point of view.

"So, in your opinion, this script is a tragedy, and all ideas are sublimated at the end." David Geffen was greatly shocked. In fact, in the process of reading the script, David had countless in his mind. Thoughts were stirring, and he could feel the excitement of his blood boiling. But he needs an opportunity to sort out his thoughts and sum up the thoughts that he wants to come out deep in his heart. Just like when he was shooting "Alien 3", he was very ambitious and thoughtful, but after the shooting, he seemed to be very different from the idea in his mind.

Therefore, when he heard Hugo's remarks just now, David's head seemed to explode, and countless ideas swarmed out, not only Hugo's views, but also his own understanding, which continued to blow out like a volcano. This feeling made David excited again.

"This is originally a tragedy, isn't it?" Hugo chuckled. Most crime movies are tragedies, especially those involving serial killers. "The only problem is, where is your perspective on this tragedy, Mill S? Samose? Or Anonymous?"

David Mills, a young police detective; William Samose, a senior detective; Anonymous, a serial killer. These are the three absolute core roles of the "seven deadly sins".

David raised his head, did not speak, and looked at Hugo seriously. In the past two years, the media has reported on Hugo almost 360 degrees without blind spots. It can be said that Hugo is like a child of Chiguo. Be criticized by people. But at this moment David really realized that maybe people can look at Hugo’s appearance and Hugo’s life thoroughly, but they have never really understood Hugo, in Hugo’s handsome face. What kind of wisdom is hidden in Kong's head, and what kind of vicissitudes he has experienced, making his amber eyes look so attractive.

To be honest, before David came to the dinner today, he had no interest in Hugo at all. He likes Brad Pitt more than Hugo, because he has heard of Brad’s excellence from many friends around him, and Hugo’s choice of works seems to be too “commercial” every time—because People are always bragging about how strong Hugo's box office is. But now, this view has to be questioned.

"You tell me now that you read the script three times, I still don't believe it. Are you sure there are only three times?" David finally let go of his nerves and made a rare joke, "I can feel your enthusiasm for this script. , But I’m not sure, which role do you want to play?"

Hugo couldn't help but laughed and teased, "Is it still up to me to choose?"

"Of course, you are Hugo Lancaster. You have this ability, don't you?" David said vaguely, but didn't clearly say what this ability means, is it network ability or acting ability? "

Hugo was thinking about it seriously. If he really allowed him to choose the three roles, which role would he choose to play? When originally receiving the "Seven Deadly Sins" script, Rick and Joseph took it for granted that Hugo was going to play the role of the actor David Mills. Because of Hugo's fixed impression before crossing, the first consideration was naturally David Mills, but it is different now.

The first candidate for David Mills was Denzel Washington, and the first candidate for William Samose was Al Pacino. So what is impossible?

The "Seven Deadly Sins" movie is actually based on the story. The plot and core ideas are the essence of the whole movie. Relatively speaking, the space for the three main characters is naturally not so large. But in fact, these three roles are very dangerous to the test of acting skills.

Mills is young, vigorous, unruly, impulsive, but has a desperate drive for work. At the same time, he is very competitive and eager to prove his ability to work to others. The idea of ​​heroism has not completely faded. This is actually the image of a typical young man, who has just stepped out of society, has many dreams and expectations, wants to show his fists, is idealistic and vigorous at the same time, and believes that he can change the world by his own ability.

The setting of this role is relatively simple, but when Mills' thoughts are impacted, the changes and conflicts in his heart, which evolve to the final explosion, still have a lot of room to play. It can be said that this role is a bit similar to Charlie played by Hugo in "Scent of a Woman", but Charlie is more angry, and Mills has gone out of society.

Samose is in sharp contrast with Mills. He has gone through countless hardships and has become insulted. He has seen too many dark sides of this society and has learned to handle cases smoothly-only in this way can he survive in society. When the Anonymous crime had first appeared, he realized that it might be a serial crime, and his first reaction was to refuse to accept the case because he was afraid of burning his body. Although he still has a sense of justice, it is more than illusory justice. , He will prioritize himself. So the expression is indifference and calmness.

The space for this role to play is very limited, but in many cases Samosé’s inner struggles are very delicate, and there are very strict requirements for the actor's control. Although Samose armed himself with indifference, he still had hope deep down in his heart. He would not be as high-profile and arrogant as Mills, but used his own way to achieve the remaining justice in his heart. Such intricacies, contradictions, banter and sarcasm are often peaceful, but they should not be ignored.

Anonymous's length is not long. Many fragments of this character are just glimpses. They are only shown in an extremely limited time and space, but they leave an extremely deep impression on the audience. He was a martyr. He used his own way to complete punishment and redemption for God. He didn't think he was wrong. Even after killing several lives, he believed that those people were guilty of death, and there was nothing worthy of sympathy. The place. So he was calm, calm, calm, even cold-blooded.

But conversely, he can also be regarded as a person who pursues perfection. The world he imagined must be perfect without a trace. Therefore, when this never-perfect society cannot satisfy his ultimate desire, he chose the extreme Self-destruction-He destroyed others more extremely before self-destruction.

There is no doubt that the time left by the movie for this role is very short, but the space left for imagination is infinitely broad. Just like Dr. Hannibal in "The Silent Lamb", he is elegant but evil, but a few strokes make people shudder; and the character of Wuming has the perfect expression of evil and innocence, cruelty and calmness, ferocity and wisdom. He There is a kind of evil self-confidence and graceful disdain, which can almost be said to determine the existence of the ultimate thought height of the "seven deadly sins".

Hugo couldn't help but start to fantasize. If Denzel Washington played Mills and Al Pacino played Samose, what would it be like? Hugo suddenly discovered that maybe the settings of Mills and Samose will be somewhat different, because the two people's performance styles are different from Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.

Brad's version of Mills can only be said to have performed well. The later episodes are not bad, but overall it is slightly conservative. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can only be said to be quite satisfactory. It can be seen from this that at this stage, Brad knows how to act out, but he does not know how to control, so he can handle a role similar to "Twelve Monkeys" and can have a very good performance, but "seven deadly sins." In this way, a role that needs to show an inner change is a bit strenuous.

The Morgan version of Samosa is very exciting. His delicate and deep temperament gives more depth to the character, and it can be said that he has completed the task brilliantly. But objectively speaking, it is not a big breakthrough compared to "Shawshank's Redemption", but this is Morgan's performance style, lacking a bit of domineering publicity and wanton, and more demonstrating calm and calm control.

There is no doubt that Kevin Spacey’s version of Anonymous is the biggest highlight of the film, weird and evil, calm but crazy, almost making the audience shudder between gestures. However, Kevin's control in this role performance is still a little bit worse, not as good as his perfect presentation in "Very Suspect", and this makes this role comparable to Dr. Hannibal's breath after all.

If Hugo is allowed to choose, what is his decision?

"Anonymous." Just thinking that he might play this role, just uttering the name, Hugo began to tremble uncontrollably, and the rushing blood in his body made his eyes shine brightly.
