1357 Chapter 1357

Joshua didn't wipe the embarrassment on his cheeks, the tears had stopped, but there was still a faint glint of water in his eyes, and the tears that gradually lost their temperature reflected the turbulent deep inside.

The big screen has gone black, and the cream-yellow light in the projection hall gradually brightened, but no one stood up, including Joshua, everyone sat in their place, watching the slow scene on the big screen. Slowly rising subtitles, silent. Maybe it's not that they don't want to speak, it's that they can't speak, just because the shock of the movie has deprived them of language, and more importantly, the shock of Hugo's performance has deprived all language.

Until all the lights in the projection hall were turned on, Joshua still couldn't remove Matthew's eyes that were trembling with fear, regret, and pain from his mind!

The perspective of "Death Row" is the nun Helen, but the core is the death row Matthew.

Contrary to what Joshua thought, this is not a story about the death row inmates to wash away their grievances and seek justice, but to discuss the extremely sensitive topic of the death penalty. One is a murderous demon who has no remorse, is full of lies, and is ferocious, the other is a heart-piercing, broken and grief-stricken family member of the victim, and the other is a devout, sincere, kind, wise and weak nun. Pull and entanglement, support the whole story.

Tim Robbins doesn't add his own point of view, he just tells the story as a bystander, sympathizing with the victims' families, showing their anger, pain and desolation vividly; The situation really showed, his family's situation, and his own situation.

Matthew is a demon, there's no doubt about it, he hesitated to kill Walter, but pulled the trigger, and since then he's been a liar, unrepentant, and even gossiping about joining the terror Organization, admiration for Shi. special. Le's actions. Matthew like this is simply outrageous.

But behind this, Matthew's past is sympathetic. He has never really joined this society. He was unfortunate as a child, lost his father at the age of fourteen, and worked in a poor area. His work was not rewarded accordingly. , but a lot of black. Man relied on government relief to idle away; he divorced his wife, and his ex-wife even denounced him; he was first regarded as an alien and a traitor, and then as a murderer, a beast, and a demon; his mother was weak and unable to support him. This family... is such a person who is constantly rejected by society. He has never had the opportunity to be recognized by society, even if he has no warmth. How can such a person treat society with an equal attitude?

So he has no feelings for the government, so he speaks out, is on guard, and is covered in thorns, so he has no repentance after killing Walter - the same crime or even worse Carl is just a life sentence... Society's indifference and The injustice left him with grievances and nowhere to go.

Of course, there are many people who have a similar life to Matthew, and it is still unforgivable to choose to commit a crime, not to mention the brutal killing of fresh life. But it makes people think, if someone, even just one person, could give Matthew a ray of warmth, wouldn't he go down this road of no return?

The contradictions, entanglements, and conflicts of Matthew's mentality are completely displayed in front of every audience in Hugo's performance. He doesn't even need lines, just a evasive look, a trembling cigarette-lighting action, and a tearful man Sobbing revealed Matthew's tormented heart. And the process of Matthew's transformation bit by bit under Helen's influence is even more touching.

Love, this is the incomparably powerful energy, Helen used her selfless love to wake up Matthew.

Therefore, at the end of the movie, Matthew's remorse is so powerful, and he is just a victim. When Matthew admits that he is a victim, the grief and shock in his heart make almost every audience stunned. Tears; so, before the execution, Matthew's last words are so powerful, killing is not right, whether it is him, someone else or the government, this is killing a living life, no one deserves this result, And Matthew chose or was forced to choose to use his own life to repay the other two lives. This is not an equal transaction. He only hopes that the families of the two victims can be calmed down.

Hugo's performance was so calm, so simple, and so indifferent, but the reaction it caused devoured all the audience like a tsunami, and the soul-stirring eyes were so deeply imprinted in the minds of every audience, the tears flowed. Feelings are so complicated when they fall, not sympathy, not sadness, not pain, not excitement, not happiness, just pure tears, the turbulent in my mind is so complicated, every emotion is turned upside down under the influence of Hugo's performance .

Epic acting! Hugo almost relied on the strength of one person, and used that delicate and real performance to bring out Matthew's inner conflict and struggle to the fullest. It directly interprets the core idea of ​​the entire film on the discussion of the death penalty to the extreme, making a seemingly simple and straightforward film burst into a breathtaking grandeur. It can't be dissipated for a long time.

In fact, Matthew's situation is also a microcosm of society to a large extent. Although the focus of "Death Walk" is not the culprit who created Matthew, but whether the execution of the murderer is a kind of "killing", but Hugo's performance made the whole movie rise to a whole new level, reaching a new realm, which made the tsunami of thoughts in my mind unable to calm down for a long time.

Regarding the discussion of social indifference, it has been discussed in depth in "Seven Deadly Sins", but the whole atmosphere of "Seven Deadly Sins" has a more religious atmosphere, and there is too little time for Anonymous, David Fincher more It focuses the story on the sense of reincarnation that the seven deadly sins can be realized. But this time, "Death Ramble" gave Hugo enough room to play, relying on Hugo's excellent performance to sublimate this issue.

There are too many tragedies in life, but many times these tragedies are caused by the social system. Although we cannot ignore the blood of the executioner, the law still needs justice, but behind the justice, we When condemning the brutality and cold-bloodedness of the executioners, one cannot ignore the rot and loopholes in society.

"Death Ramble" is outrageously stingy in its description of Matthew, only revealing some information through Matthew's few words, but Matthew's image appears in every audience's mind very clearly, not only now , as well as the pain of the past, the bitterness in the heart, and the struggle of the mind, and even let people see the imprints left by the social indifference on him - imprints that cannot be erased for life, and accompanied by He entered the imprint of the grave together.

All of this is just because of Hugo's performance. It's hard to imagine that Hugo's seemingly ordinary performance has created such a magnificent storm in everyone's heart, making "Death Convict Walk" not only an in-depth discussion of the death penalty, And it also made people face up to the problem of disadvantaged groups in society again. The two intricate problems were perfectly combined to produce this work that caused a storm of thought.

It turned out that this is the power of performance! That's epic acting!

It was not until this moment that the shock that could not be calmed in his mind for a long time made Joshua really understand what happened to Hugo. Although Joshua didn't know how Hugo overcame the difficulties and how to do it, but But he knew that Hugo's performance in "Death Ramble" was definitely one of the best in history, and the eyes that were enough to make the soul tremble finally let Joshua know why Hugo was schizophrenic during the filming of this work.

Thinking of this, Joshua felt an indescribable admiration in his heart. He knew that "Death Row" was a good movie, but compared to the movie, he was in awe of Hugo's dedication and talent. He had to give a standing ovation to express his admiration for Hugo with such actions.

Recalling the revolt on August 5th, Joshua burst out with unprecedented pride. This is the real Hugo, the Hugo he longed for. So Joshua did just that, standing up and clapping his hands hard.

Joshua's actions made everyone else in the screening room look astonished. In fact, most of the first group of Joshua and Joshua who entered the cinema were loyal fans of Hugo, but they had to admit that the "Death Ramble" was a huge hit. The film is too heavy, and more of it makes people silent, the thoughts in the mind are constantly rolling, and there is no way to find an outlet. It is not the kind of work that makes people so excited that they can't speak and stand up and applaud. Joshua's actions seemed too unusual.

But in the eyes of countless people, Joshua stubbornly stood there, applauding the constantly sliding subtitles, and staring at the big screen motionless, as if Matthew's eyes were full of tears before he died. General in front of you.

One after another, a few people seemed to understand Joshua's intentions, and they all stood up and applauded. But this was a minority after all, and there were less than ten people standing alone at the scene, clapping their hands vigorously, applauding for "Death Walk" and Hugo.

More audience members left the theater slowly with hesitant, thoughtful, and silent expressions on their faces. In a movie like "Dead Man's Walk", the real brilliance begins after the movie ends, and the storm of reflection it sets off in people's minds is the key to the success of the movie.

Obviously, like the audience, the craze of film critics has only just begun!
