One Thousand and Thirty Three Mirror Each Other

In the work "Drunk Town Folk", Renly found the true artistic resonance. The last life was yearning, longing and amazement, as if he saw the life he dreamed of but was afraid to try; in this life, he felt the same way, as if he could see himself The shadow of , and even a glimpse of the shadow of the album "Don Quixote".

In fact, "Don Quixote" and "Drunken Country Ballads" seem to be two sides of the lake, reflecting each other, and also tell the story of Don Quixote who walks alone in the cruel real life.

Obviously, the Coen brothers and Renly held similar ideas, they heard the faith and persistence in the song "Beast", and they also heard the dream and vision in the album "Don Quixote". As a result, the creative inspiration burst, and they appeared in front of Renly, and they could not wait and eagerly sent out the invitation.

Thinking about it carefully, "Drunken Country Ballads" really seems to be a tailor-made work for Renly, and LeVern seems to be the projection of Renly in the works of art——

They also came to New York alone to pursue their dreams; they also played and sang in a small bar and changed their lives because of a ballad; they also faced the crossroads of giving up and compromise, but resolutely decided They chose to be stubborn to the end; they also created an album, which was placed on the bookshelf at home, waiting to be discovered by people of insight.

The only difference is that in real life, "Don Quixote" was a success, while the album "Inside-Llewyn-Davis" by the hero in the movie's story was not. Nobody cares.

In other words, Lewynn Davis is Renly Hall who failed to chase his dream; more precisely, after Renly failed to chase his dream, after struggling for fifteen years, he became Levine.

This is a little scary. If Renly is not so sure, he has no communication with the Coen brothers, and it is impossible for the two brothers to write the script based on his experience. He almost has the illusion of a time and space disorder.

Wait, or say, in the last life, there really existed a Levine Davis, but because of Renly's rebirth/crossover, he took his place, and then the fate trajectory changed? Or, like the "Butterfly Effect", Renly Hall's real experience was indeed adapted into "Drunk Town Folk Ballad", and finally became the version seen by Chu Jiashu in the last generation, so who traveled through time and space and changed history? Woolen cloth?

After circling around, his mind was a little dizzy; after cutting off the chaotic speculation and speculation, Renly's eyes on Joel and Ethan suddenly became playful, but the two brothers didn't know why, and their faces were confused and full. His face waited expectantly for Renly's next words, and the eager look in his eyes made Renly laugh.

There is no doubt that this is the work that Renly yearns for the most, loves the most, and covets the most after "Love Crazy".

That rush of emotion is racing through my chest; not just because it's another form of "Don Quixote," as if seeing Heather Cross again, but because the character itself is so challenging.

The role of LeVern-Davis bears the weight of dreams and reality, and also bears the weight of the entire era. In him, the kind of confusion, distress, bitterness, irritability, ego, arrogance, uninhibitedness, and confusion. The unity, contradiction and harmony are mixed together, which outlines the vicissitudes of life under the wave of folk songs.

In fact, it's an incredibly difficult role to play, and just like David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Dave Van Langk, Kurt Cobain, and others, these artists are always brimming with With a unique temperament, it transcends the constraints of the skin itself.

Maybe, they're all so jerk; but equally, they're all so charming.

That's the way LeVine is in the movie.

Homeless and with nowhere to stay, LeVern lived in the professor's friend's house for a long time. The professor and his wife regarded him as an artist, not only providing sofas, but also delicious meals, but LeVern got angry at the dining table, Also lost the cat of the professor and his wife's house.

In Greenwich Village, the couple Jim and Jane were also LeVine's long-term couch providers, but LeVine secretly had sex with Jane and impregnated her.

In addition to friends, LeVine has family. His sister lives in Queens and always takes him in, but he despises her. "Those of you outside of the entertainment industry are just 'existing.'"

...

Undoubtedly, LeVine is a jerk, a terrible, ungrateful, self-righteous jerk; but there are many details hidden in the Coen brothers' script that vividly outline the jerk's softness and vulnerability.

In fact, Le Verne loved Jane deeply, and the only time he said "I love you" was for Jane; but unfortunately, Jane chose Jim, and Jane wanted the life of Le Vine. What Ween can't afford, and further, Jane and Le Vern's different attitudes and pursuits towards art and life are destined to be unable to come together. So, Le Verne silently waited by.

But then, Le Verne unexpectedly discovered that even the black-bellied and utilitarian cafe owner had had a relationship with Jane, and he was just one of the members on Jane's list, which made the always careless one. LeVine's emotions were out of control.

He's a bastard, but an irresistible bastard, like those great artists, you can only avoid falling in love with him if you completely hate him.

How to show LeWine's vileness without making the audience hate him; how to capture the details and features of LeWine's image without overdoing it; how to present LeWine in a restrained performance The level and depth of personal charisma without falling into the rut of exaggeration... All of this is a severe test.

Playing Le Verne, which is a problem, is even more difficult to play Le Verne well.

In the last life, Levine Davis was played by Oscar Isaac. His performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory and did not cause much repercussions. He only won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in the Musical Comedy category. Nominations, other performance category nominations were all lost; compared to performance, his singing skills in the film have been more appreciated.

Under the lens of the Coen brothers, Oscar Isaac's performance was relatively restrained, minimizing the changes and publicity of his expressions, and accidentally fell into the crisis of facial paralysis, showing more of Le Verne's distress, Loss and depression bring out the wandering vicissitudes of the folk poets who have nowhere to put them.

But in comparison, the lack of details leads the audience to make a wrong judgment on the "stealing/love" relationship between Le Verne and Jane, and then make a wrong judgment on Le Verne's artist image.

The audience simply and rudely thought that Le Verne had betrayed his friend Jim, but in fact it was Jane who was always restless, and Le Vern was just one of them; more importantly, Le Vern was really involved in it, but Jane watched from the sidelines, even if it was pregnancy and abortion, Jane just threw the burden of guilt and guilt to Le Vern and stayed out of it.

The loss of similar details does not have much impact on the plot, but it is a fatal negligence in character building.

So, unfortunately, Oscar Isaac has not been able to get more acting recognition, missing a role that is so deep and full of LeVine Davis.

But in fact, personally, Renly liked Oscar Isaac's performance very much.

In his performances, there is always a kind of natural sadness and vicissitudes, this temperament is very charming, and it fits perfectly with the folk ballads, poets and the wave of folk ballads, giving the whole film an addictive texture , which made the viewing process very comfortable and comfortable, and also made Renly impressed by the actor——

Sure enough, Oscar was frequently seen in other works, such as "Ex Machina", "Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens", "X-Men: Apocalypse", etc. This also proves that Hollywood industry insiders and Renly shares the same idea.

Acting skills can be learned diligently, but acting temperament is natural and innate. At this point, the Oscar version of "The Ballad of Drunken Township" really made Renly fall in love with it.

However, if Renly is playing LeVine Davis, he certainly can't do Oscar Isaac's way, not because of the original performance, but because Renly has long since gotten out of the imitation mold and out of the way It is because Renly and Oscar have completely different temperaments and styles, so naturally the roles are different.

So how should Renly perform?

Now just thinking about it in my mind, Renly can't help but start to get excited. "Drunk Town Ballad" is completely a dream work, just like the original "Love Crazy", Renly can't wait to join the crew Among them, began to discuss characters and scripts, began to study acting and filming.

Strictly speaking, it is even more immersive than "Crazy in Love", because it tells Renly's own story, the difficulties and confusion of the previous life, the struggle and persistence of this life, all mixed together. Wayne Davis in the role.

Closing his eyes, Levine's gestures, frowns, and smiles were deeply imprinted in Renly's mind. He didn't need to think and describe, and he didn't need to conceive and explore. The familiarity in his soul naturally gushed out. And out, stuffed the entire chest, crowded to overflowing.

Perhaps the most important challenge of the Renly actor's career, but also the most difficult one.

But, the problem is, he can't, he can't nod and agree, he can't star in this work. When he realized this, Ren Li couldn't help but start to feel lost. He sat on the spot in a daze, with a trace of regret and helplessness in his eyes, and his heavy heart began to slowly fall.
