"Gravity" is a unique work. Before getting to know the characters formally, it is necessary to understand the creative background of the whole story and the finished effect that the director is trying to present.

From the perspective of the story of the play, in fact, "gravity" is the space version of "buried alive". The main line and core of the story is escape. Under the cosmic environment, a thrilling alternative escape room is staged, with ups and downs and twists and turns. 's survival journey has resulted in an outstanding commercial work.

If only so, "Gravity" is far from being a masterpiece. There is not much difference between it and "Buried Alive", and the style type and the theme of the story are the same. Then, Renly's re-starring is just repeating himself, and there is no need at all. This is not an exploration of acting skills, nor is it an improvement in acting skills.

But in fact, "Buried Alive" is an excellent work, while "Gravity" is a classic worthy of being recorded in history. Not only because Alfonso Cuaron made a technical breakthrough, but also because of the core idea of ​​the whole movie and the sublimation when the final chapter is approaching.

From the standpoint of the audience, the performances of "Gravity" and "Buried Alive" are actually the same, the despair in the secret room, the anger in the desperate situation, the giving up after pressing step by step, and the letting go when hope is rekindled. Struggling, the intertwined emotions of oppression and tension, the feeling conveyed after revealing the screen image, this is very similar.

But from the standpoint of actors and directors, the two works are completely different. Because the starting points of the characters are different, because the demands of the directors are different, and because the mental processes of the characters are also different.

During the filming of "Transcendence," Renly went through such a self-polishing process, in the scene of his first encounter with Erica on the bus.

Changes in the starting point, turning point, and ending point of Henry's innermost emotions, when they collide with external conflicts, are bound to trigger a series of chain changes, which will produce more chemical reactions to the plot and story, and even enhance the core of the theme. Naturally, the performance appeal and penetration of actors are also different.

For the audience, it is difficult for them to tell the reason for these differences in details, even professional film critics are no exception; but for actors, it is very important, especially when polishing their acting skills. in the process of.

Now, the difference between the two works "Buried Alive" and "Gravity" can also be explained in the same way.

In "Buried Alive", the male protagonist Paul Conroy, a blue-collar driver, became the scapegoat and victim of the war game in an accident.

In the process of surviving, the official shirk from the government, the indifference from the company, and the disputes from the family all caused Paul to suffer a lot. It is not so much that he is struggling to survive, it is better to say that he is a person under the background of the whole society. Only ants, insignificantly become cannon fodder.

This is also the appeal of director Roderick Scott. Through this work, it reflects contemporary war and social issues, and mocks the lies from the White House. Therefore, in the performance process, the inner driving force is the emotional fetters and the powerlessness of the little people in society; that kind of despair seeps out step by step.

In the work of "Gravity", the actor Ryan Stone is a high-level intellectual. In an accident, he passively fell into the dilemma of space. If we say, the story of "Buried Alive" has people For indirect accidents, then the story of "gravity" is much purer, and accidents are just accidents.

The same purity continues into the story.

In the process of surviving, Ryan is fighting against himself, without the involvement of social background, nor the promotion of family factors. That kind of downright loneliness and loneliness has become the main theme of the whole movie. In "Buried Alive", a mobile phone becomes the connection point between the hero and the outside world, but in the space environment of "gravity", there is really nothing left.

So, what is the core factor or core motivation that troubles Ryan?

Sandra Bullock played the role of Ryan Stone in The Story of the Last Life. The accidental death of her daughter cut off Ryan's connection with the society. She began to work frantically, forgetting to eat and sleep, and gradually numb herself, and her life began to lose its meaning.

Therefore, Ryan was in a desperate situation, and she experienced such a mental journey:

In the beginning, everything is a survival instinct/energy reaction, just like a drowning person, the instinct/energy first reaction is to kick and breathe; then, after struggling and trying, deep down, she starts to give up, because she can't find it The meaning of survival began to gradually fall into the pain and torture of the past.

In the end, I woke up again and felt the call from survival again. It fits with nature and the instinct/ability at the beginning of the birth of human beings. Everything starts from scratch, and starts again to survive, let go of it, and then find the meaning of life like the heart. Always beat and never give up.

Sandra's performance is unquestionably brilliant, giving Ryan Stone more vulnerability and tenderness from a woman's perspective, and then recovering and being strong again. This flexible force has successfully nurtured life and opened up a ray of life, guiding Ryan back to Earth.

Such a mental journey is far simpler and purer than the political/political appeal of "buried alive", but it is also more magnificent and larger, which also makes the overall quality of "gravity" reach a whole new level.

Especially the audience's feelings in the process of watching the movie, from hardship and loneliness to igniting hope, from fragile collapse to invincible.

Scratching, the whole emotion is stripped of all external influences, and it is completely focused on the emotional dialogue between the soul and the soul, which is enough to touch the heart. Get out of the shallow level of "buried alive" and enter a higher stage.

It can be understood that "buried alive" pays more attention to a kind of empathy.

Focusing on a class of people like Paul Conroy, implicated in war, deceived by the White House, abandoned by corporations, and forgotten by society, who are full of anger, who have done their best to oppose the war, but have become victims. Go out, and then be sacrificed just like that. For this type of people, when watching a movie, they can't help but enter it, and then enter the director's mood and rhythm.

But for the upper class or the highly educated and high-quality people, such themed works cannot impress them because they are the group of people criticized in the film.

On the other hand, "Gravity" pays more attention to a kind of empathy and sublimation.

The movie doesn't focus on any kind of person, although Ryan Stone is also social, but the movie focuses more on Ryan's raw emotions. After stripping away the social attributes, return to the most primitive and basic human emotions, which are applicable to anyone.

Regardless of age, class, education, culture, wealth and other additional conditions, everyone is experiencing their own difficulties, loneliness, pain, struggle and even numbness; at the same time, everyone is also trying to survive, even those The same goes for people who have suicidal thoughts flashing through their minds, with thoughts of survival and destruction constantly fighting each other.

This is like a philosophical question, maybe not everyone can think about it, but it can be felt everywhere in life. Therefore, movies can awaken empathy in everyone.

From an artistic point of view, "Buried Alive" is still discussing life, while "Gravity" is already discussing the universe and nature.

In other words, getting rid of the plot of the story and the characters themselves, "Buried Alive" brings a thrill/sense of a horror movie, while "Gravity" brings a kind of deep-rooted soul. Shocked, truly amazed at the greatness of life. But on the other hand, these differences in viewing experience are itself caused by the plot of the story and the characters.

Going back to the original point again, standing on the stand of the audience, watching "Buried Alive" and "Gravity", the viewing effect and the quality of the finished product aside, but the tension and horror during the viewing process are similar. They are also paying attention to a person's self-survival journey after falling into a desperate situation, and the ups and downs are the focus of watching the movie.

But what is the difference between the two works?

First, in the process of watching a movie, personal senses are different. Watching "Buried Alive" is a sense of parallelism, and one is equal to the character, while watching "Gravity" is a sense of looking up, and the insignificance in front of the universe. .

Second, after watching the movie, reflection and aftertaste are completely different, and the discussion topic of "gravity" will enter a higher and deeper level; of course, even simply from the effect of popcorn, because the whole shock is Acting directly on the depths of the soul, the actual experience is also multiplied.

Both of these differences come from the performance of the actors, not the structure of the play itself.

Undoubtedly, this makes an extremely harsh distinction for actors. For Renly, even more so.

Prior to that, "Buried Alive" had been a huge success, earning an Oscar nomination and could be regarded as his most famous work; now Renly is once again challenging a similar work, and if it falls short, the audience may fall into Among the old-fashioned stereotypes of "replaying old tricks", Renly's performance is thought to have not broken through, and even repeated himself, which in turn affects the perception of the entire work.

As a gimmick, Renly can already imagine that the media is bound to call "Gravity" a space version of "Buried Alive", which is a common propaganda method used by reporters and is irrelevant; but if the audience really thinks so, then it is Lanly Li's performance failed.

The difference in details slowly permeates the actors' performances, and presents different textures and styles, giving the whole work a more three-dimensional feeling, distinguishing "gravity" from "buried alive". That's Renly's serious challenge.

It can even be said that this is the biggest challenge for Renly to come out of the shadows, because he not only needs to go beyond the original Sandra Bullock of the last life, but also needs to go beyond his own "buried alive", and distinguish the two works, at the same time. It is necessary to interpret the grand meaning of "gravity".

The performance is so difficult, just to make up for it, it makes people gear up.
