1987 Chapter 1987 Interpretation

In the version of "The Sixth Sense" that Hugo is familiar with, Bruce Willis played Malcolm, Haley Joel Osment played Cole, and Toni Colette (Toni. Collette played the role of mother Lynn.

The great success of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is inseparable from the excellent performance of the three actors, because the story itself is full of rich emotions. In the absence of a complete story line, it is more connected by emotional ups and downs. Throughout the film, the performance of the actors also maintains the quality of the finished product, which is somewhat similar to "Before Sunrise".

Among these three actors, Toni is an excellent actor who is active in the field of independent films. Before "The Sixth Sense", she relied on "Muriel's. Wedding" to win the Australian Film Awards. Academy Award, but also shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy nomination. Later, Toni was best known for her wonderful performance in "Little. Miss. Sunshine", and won an AI by relying on the TV series "The. United. States. Of. Tara". Awards and a Golden Globe.

Toni is the kind of actor who is not popular, but relies on her solid and excellent acting skills to break through the sky. She rarely appears in commercial blockbusters, and almost all of her works are independently produced works. Nakami's profound acting method has been compared with Julianne Moore by many people.

In "The Sixth Sense of the Spirit", Toni's performance is very good, fully expressing a mother who is struggling but loves her child wholeheartedly. In fact, the space for Toni in the movie is very limited, but she still showed her performance that will receive countless praises in the future. The movie not only earned Toni an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, but also became her stepping stone to Hollywood.

Haley is undoubtedly the biggest discovery in "The Sixth Sense". This child star who once played the little Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump" shows Cole's inner struggle and fragility, dazed but firm traits Incisively and vividly, especially Cole's eyes of trying to maintain a positive attitude surrounded by fear, moved every audience. Almost all emotional flashpoints in the entire movie became convincing under Haley's interpretation.

Now Haili is an actor under Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company. Hugo and Haili have collaborated on "Independence Day" before, and he has seen the unlimited potential of this little guy. His spirituality and understanding are rare among child actors. Some are outstanding, and many film critics called his performance in "The Sixth Sense" as "the best child actor", which shows how highly respected he is.

Relying on the excellent performance of "The Sixth Sense", Haley not only won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but also almost put the weight and focus of the entire movie on him-it is worth noting that he It is a supporting actor, not a leading actor, but after watching the movie, many people will have an illusion: Cole is the protagonist of the movie. Including Hugo himself is the same.

On the one hand, it is indeed because of Haley's outstanding performance, but on the other hand, it is because Malcolm has not been able to meet expectations.

Bruce played the role of Malcolm. First of all, he must affirm his interpretation of this role. This is also one of the important links in the success of the film. The connotation of the role of Tom.

Just like Brad Pitt's performance in "The Seven Deadly Sins", the character has a lot of room to play, and he is the absolute number one actor, but in the process of interpretation, Brad has not been able to truly interpret the role When he came out, he just completed the task in a satisfactory manner, without making any mistakes, but he did not shine either. Therefore, in "The Seven Deadly Sins", the nameless person robbed all the light-similarly, it is Cole who left the deepest impression on people in "The Sixth Sense".

Throughout Bruce's career, he has never been an actor known for his acting skills, but has won people's love more as an action actor. The "Die Hard" series is his famous work. But in fact, Bruce still has some acting skills. He once played a guest role in "Friends" and won an Emmy Award.

Bruce is very suitable for the interpretation of a down-and-out man with a middle-aged crisis. He can show the hidden weakness and embarrassment of ordinary men, but unfortunately, Bruce's interpretation ability is limited-not to the extent of facial paralysis, and not far away , he can only show the loneliness, depression and fragility of a down-and-out middle-aged man, and it is easy to float on the surface, unable to carry out more delicate excavations. In fact, in "Die Hard", Bruce plays the image of such a middle-aged man, and when this image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, almost any work he starred in has such an image, which shows the limitations of Bruce .

In "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", the reason why the audience has such a strong sense of substitution is because Malcolm himself is also a man experiencing a mid-life crisis. His painful past and family crisis have left him in a state of confusion. Therefore, the overall image of Bruce fits perfectly. At the same time, Bruce also shows Malcolm's vulnerability, which is enough to move the story to the point.

This makes people have a good impression of Bruce in "The Sixth Sense".

Hugo used to be the same way. When he watched the movie, he thought that the role of Malcolm was limited to this-just like watching "The Seven Deadly Sins", he didn't think that the role of Mills was challenging at all. But after changing the perspective, Hugo found that the role of Malcolm was far more difficult than Cole.

To put it simply, what Cole needs to show is inner fear and bewilderment. Haley fully demonstrated this trait and injected a kind of distressed vulnerability into the character, the kind that blooms from the depths of a child's heart. The simplicity easily touched the hearts of the audience. As a young actor who is only eleven years old, Haili's performance is indeed amazing, but the development curve of the character itself is relatively simple.

But Malcolm is different. He is first of all an adult’s perspective. He takes on the important task of leading the audience into this story, so the process of getting along with Cole—starting cautiously, gradually approaching, and first trying to solve it from the perspective of a psychologist. Cole, and then slowly believed in Cole, and tried to help Cole understand that the existence of yin and yang eyes is not a harm, but a means that can be used to help others, and finally stood together with Cole, infinitely close to the heart of this child .

During this process, Malcolm's cautious, tentative, understanding, change, sympathy, care and many other emotional changes are the key factors that determine the audience's experience of the movie. In Bruce's version of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", the audience's emotions are led away by Cole, not Malcolm, which makes the movie too sensational, and many emotions come from sympathy for children, rather than adults watching The perspective of the world, aftertaste and reflection are greatly weakened, which also affects the possibility of the work reaching a higher level.

Secondly, Malcolm himself is also responsible for the complexity of society. In fact, in the whole story of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", it is not just a story of "a child with yin and yang eyes", it explores the fear of human beings from the heart .

The most direct thing is actually the relationship between Lynn and Cole. Lynn loves her son deeply, but she can't understand Cole's so-called yin and yang eyes. There will also be rejection. The same is true for Cole in his own daily life, no one can understand him, and no one can accompany him, which makes him even more lonely in the world of ghosts.

This kind of fear comes from all aspects, fear of change, fear of loneliness, fear of becoming a different kind, fear of the unknown, fear of mediocrity... This is the shackles in everyone's heart, and more often people choose to surrender and escape. Only then did the social problems deduced in "Seven Deadly Sins" appear-indifference makes society worse and worse. "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" gave its own solution-or the solution that Knight thinks, "love", family affection, friendship and love, let emotion become the bond that maintains people, and we can go hand in hand. Facing those fears, conquering those fears.

The process of Cole and Malcolm from temptation to trust is precisely the emotional bond; and Lynn's unconditional love for Cole has become the motivation for Cole to be brave; at the same time, the struggle between Malcolm and his wife And wandering, is a problem that every family must face, and it is also the source of motivation for everyone to fight for it.

It can be said that Malcolm carries the core of this important film-this echoes with the first point, because this is the aftertaste and reflection triggered by the adult perspective, and it is also Knight's understanding of family and emotion. According to the setting of the characters and the connotation of the script, after watching the movie, people should not only be moved by Cole, but also empathize with themselves, triggering further thinking; but unfortunately, Bruce did not Being able to show this kind of emotional intimacy and fetters made the "sixth sense of the spiritual" only stop at the mother-child relationship between Lynn and Cole, and the stamina of the movie came to an abrupt end.

Malcolm is a very challenging role. As Knight said, he carries the connotation and depth of the entire movie, which determines whether the movie is just a tearful sensational movie, or whether it is a deep-seated movie after tears. A deeply reverberating classic. Bruce's performance is worthy of recognition, but his ability is limited, but he has not been able to truly interpret Malcolm.

The skills of acting, the sculpting of details, the ability to interpret, Bruce's fatal flaws lead to the same results as Brad in "Seven Deadly Sins". A good work is a good work, but it is only a breath away from the classics handed down from generation to generation.

When Hugo read the script of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", he savored the differences carefully, but he didn't sort out his thoughts clearly. Today, Knight revealed the whole core idea at once. This made Hugo look at him with new eyes, because in Hugo's memory, Knight was not a director who cared too much about the characters-most of his later works were horror films or commercial blockbusters. Hugo originally thought it was Knight Insufficient understanding of his own script led to the loss of the core idea of ​​"Sixth Sense".

But now it seems that this is not the case.
