[US Entertainment] 1994

American audiences have always disliked the adoring of the rich. They don't care if an actor is the second generation of a star, the son of a wealthy businessman, or has an amazing family background. Actors who change their destiny through personal struggle are more popular.

This is the most intuitive embodiment of the American dream and why Oprah Winfrey is always sought after.Many viewers pinned on Winfrey what they couldn't do, and it seemed that through her, dreams could be realized.

The exposure of Josh's family shouldn't have attracted so much attention, but coincidentally, Josh and his family just hit a soft spot in the hearts of the audience.

A pair of ordinary parents and four outstanding children, the eldest brother who works on Wall Street and has a successful career, the second brother who loves photography and is willing to go to Amazon to feed mosquitoes, Josh who insists on his movie dream, and the younger sister who is outstanding in studies, for American audiences Every member of Josh's family is working hard to interpret the American dream. Even Josh, who looks the most glamorous to outsiders, finally seized the opportunity after going through a period of downturn.

The deeper you dig, the more the media can discover the bright spots in Josh. There is no shortage of media in Hollywood that sell scandals and privacy like the "National Enquirer", but there is also no shortage of media that are willing to promote personal struggles, especially in Josh's succession. Nominated for the Golden Globes and Oscars, all the movies he starred in were hits, and his conduct was not questionable.

The "Los Angeles Times" took "Josh Walter's Road to Hollywood" as the title, and introduced in detail Josh's achievements in the past few years as an actor. preference.

Of course, considering that Josh is also a Californian, such a preference seems to be justified.

In any case, the wave of excitement caused by Josh on the Oscars red carpet lasted for more than half a month before it gradually subsided, but Josh could no longer care about it, and the filming of "Schindler's List" has entered the critical stage During this period, it was time for the role of Amon Goss to play.

During the few days when he returned to Los Angeles, Josh also spent time seriously thinking about the way to play the role of Amon Goss. This can be said to be the most challenging role he has ever received since filming. , but still not sure if the method I'm using is the best one.

But Josh is not very worried. There is no so-called most suitable method for the profession of an actor, and his own personal style is more important.

Although Josh has seen the original version of "Schindler's List", he did not intend to portray Amon Goss as the original version of Ralph Fiennes. Josh has his own understanding of the character, and he would rather Let the character of Amon Goss put his own stamp on it, rather than a pure, pointless imitation.

Early in the morning, Josh was watched by the sharp-eyed director when he showed up on the set: "Hey, Josh, how are you doing today?"

Josh rubbed his hair: "It's not bad..."

"Then I'm relieved, you don't sound affected by those reports." Steven Spielberg smiled kindly, "So, are you ready for these days away from the crew?"

Josh shrugged: "This will probably be known when filming. I can't guarantee [-]% now, sir."

He noticed that even through the lens, the bloodshot eyes of Steven Spielberg could not be covered. After leaving for a few days, the biggest change in the crew was that a few more chairs suddenly appeared beside the director's seat—— Belonging to Spielberg's wife Kate Capshaw and several of his children, you can imagine how much pressure this movie put on Steven Spielberg.

After chatting with the director for a while, Liam Neeson was waving at Josh again, and Josh hurried over.

"Josh!"

Josh waved his hand vigorously in response: “Liam, are you okay?”

Liam Neeson shook his head slightly: "I'm glad you returned early, not many people can bear this story, I can't, Mr. Director can't, as for you—"

"You look more fragile than me, you can't."

Josh showed a wry smile: "But Liam, you have to understand that the plots I participated in are the cruelest."

The psychological pressure was too great. Liam Neeson took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. The smoke made his face look blurry.He took another cigarette out of the case and handed it to Josh: "Want to smoke?"

"I don't smoke."

"You'll depend on it after a while."

Josh's wry smile deepened: "Lim, I will be very scared if you say that."

Liam Neeson shrugged: "In short, Mr. Spielberg and all of us have only one idea, hurry up and end this movie, you know, this kind of movie you have made once and never want to do it again , good luck, Josh."

No matter how dire the outlook, filming has to start.

After returning to Poland, Josh finally ushered in his first scene.

Different from the pleasant climate in Los Angeles, Poland at the moment is covered with ice, and the roads are covered with snow and ice, which are piled up thickly. The temperature here also seems to be worse than other places.

The character of Amon Goss was sent to cleanse the Jews.

Before he appeared, the life of the Jews living in the gathering area was difficult, but there were already signs of a smooth easing. They talked about their past business and talked about "it can't be worse than now", but Amon The appearance of Goss shattered their illusions.

No one could have predicted what the appearance of Amon Goss would mean to these Jews.

Before filming, Spielberg patted Josh on the shoulder lightly: "I hope you can give a real and outstanding performance, but I am afraid that it will be too real. Maybe one day I will wake up and find you hard Fuck it hard."

"I can only say, Josh, follow your heart, and you will know what kind of performance is the most suitable."

Josh didn’t speak, just nodded slightly.

In the first performance, Josh sat in the back seat of an open, slightly dilapidated car, and the officer in front introduced him to the classification of Jewish areas A and B.

"Second Lieutenant Amon Goss, where do we start cleaning up, do you have any questions, sir?"

Amon Goss' costume was a thick leather coat with an eagle logo embroidered on his shoulders. While listening to the officer's introduction, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said after a while: "Yes. Why?" I'm freezing to death without the hood closed.

Perhaps because he was really not used to the weather, his expression was as cold as in Polish winter. Although he listened to the introduction about the Jews, he didn't pay attention to the Jews for a second. He just sat behind the car with a gloomy expression.

"Where is my residence?"

"There, that villa."

"Is that also called a villa?"

"That's their church, and we're going to turn it into a stable."

"It's a house at best."

No longer discussing the topic of residence, an officer arranged for the women in the concentration camp to appear in front of Amon: "A lucky girl is about to appear among you. We now have a job vacancy. Those who are selected will no longer be engaged in general work. hard work, and to be able to move into my new villa."

The cold made Amon's breathing difficult, and he wiped his nose with a handkerchief: "Which of you has experience as a servant?"

Several women held out their hands.

But Amon said: "I don't like to pick up maids used by others. People who are used to maids usually have a bunch of bad habits."

He finally stopped in front of Helen, blowing his nose, his voice was hoarse, but there was a hint of gentleness of a gentleman.The moment Helen stood up, there was even a smile in his voice: "I don't want to infect you with a cold."

"What's your name?"

"Helen Hirsch."

"what?"

"Helen Hirsch."

"What? I can't hear you."

After Helen called out her name aloud, Amon unbuttoned her coat, only to find that Helen's hands hidden under the coat were shaking desperately, and her voice was also trembling.

Amon suddenly felt less interested. He announced that he had chosen Helen, and then smoked a cigarette. The smoke drifted to his face, and his eyes seemed to deepen a little bit.

In the director's seat, Steven Spielberg kept staring at Josh.

In the short scene after Amon Goss appeared on the stage, only the scene of choosing the maid was the most difficult. It can be said that the inner complexity of the character of Amon Goss can be fully demonstrated from this scene.

He is willing to show tenderness, but his nature is extremely cruel.

Spielberg's eyes fell on Josh's last look, this look...

Mr. Director slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, under the gaze of the audience, he said, "Yes."

Although he said the word, Spielberg still stared at the last look in the camera, and he never recovered for a long time.

This scene is over, and in the next scene, when a Jewish female engineer protests that their foundation will be knocked down and refilled, after listening to the introduction of the female engineer, Amon Goss, who was a gentleman to Helen a second ago But coldly announced: "Kill her."

When his officer explained that the female engineer was the foreman here, Amon looked relaxed: "We cannot be coerced by these people."

The moment the female engineer was taken out by the officer to shoot, Amon shouted loudly: "No, I want you to execute her on the spot!"

After killing the female engineer, Amon accepted her proposal calmly, knocked down the foundation, and then re-grouted: "Do as she said."

From the scripts of these two scenes alone, it can be seen that Amon Goss is an extremely cold devil. He can smile one second and decisively end a person's life the next, even if it is a "useful" demon. "people.

Just because that person didn't recognize his place, the lowly Jew is not qualified to make any demands.
