[US Entertainment] Actor

Compared with "Mystery of Heroes", in "The Dark Knight", Ebert's role is actually greatly reduced.The only outstanding villain in the first film is "Scarecrow", but in this film, "Joker" and "Double-Face" account for a high proportion of roles. "Double-Face" Harvey Dent and Rachel's emotional scene is also a bright spot in the movie. Ebert thinks that the biggest change Nolan made to the movie is to write the character of Rachel to death. The explanation can also promote the development of the plot to a large extent.

But for a commercial blockbuster, it is undoubtedly a courageous decision to write the heroine to death.

In addition, the discussion of the character of the "Joker" and the change of thinking of the "two-faced man" are also highlights in the movie that deserve attention. In contrast, Batman's sense of existence is undoubtedly extremely low. "The Joker" is nowhere to be found under the deliberate design of the drama. Compared with the "Joker", Batman is more like a fighting machine with empty force. He is full of sense, cooperates seamlessly with Batman and Police Officer Gordon, and becomes one of the protectors of Gotham City. In order to fight against the "Joker", he took the initiative to stand up and admit that he is Batman. Undoubtedly, this role will gain more Good impression, under this, Batman's sense of existence has been reduced a lot.

In addition to the "Joker", "Double-faced Man" and Batman with more roles, in "The Dark Knight", the role of Police Officer Gordon has also greatly increased. Alfred and Morgan Ferrer played by Michael Caine Fox, played by Liman, also has a certain amount of roles in the movie. There is a lot of room for supporting roles, and only the protagonist is left.

Ebert has to admit that Heath Ledger is really a very talented actor who is extremely dedicated to acting.

It wasn't until after the movie was filmed for a period of time that the scenes between Ebert and Heath Ledger gradually increased. Before that, most of the scenes were freely played by Heath Ledger.For example, in one scene, the boss of the gangster held a meeting to discuss the situation of the bank being robbed. The "clown" suddenly appeared and suggested that they cooperate to kill Batman. When he tried to kill him but was killed by him, "Joker" mentioned his childhood, and Heath Ledger's performance was so realistic that even standing on the sidelines, Ebert had a sense of tension.

"Do you know how I got these scars?"

The "clown" rolled his eyes and licked his tongue subconsciously. With his red lips painted like ketchup and the whites of his eyes slightly yellow, this scene looked particularly scary.

This is an action Heath Ledger made up subconsciously based on his understanding of clowns. He licks his mouth lightly, sticks out his tongue slightly, and speaks in a low tone... Although this is a simple action, "Joker"

This image is immediately full because of this action. He behaves recklessly, doesn't care about death, and has a nervous taste when he laughs and speaks. Evil seems irresistible.

"He was crazier than usual one night, and Mommy took the kitchen knife to protect herself, and he didn't like that, not at all. So, I watched him grab the knife and stab her, stabbing her. Still laughing." "Joker" narrated in a low voice, raised his head slightly to show nostalgia, and licked his lips with his tongue, "He turned his head to look at me, and he said—'Why are you so serious?'"

The "clown" turned his head, recalling his father's expression and tone, his voice suddenly raised, and his head kept moving with the rhythm of the voice: "'Why are you so serious?' He inserted the blade into my mouth, Let's draw a smiley face!"

He changed his tone: "Why so serious?" and shot the gangster's head off.

Although this scene was short, Heath Ledger used his acting skills to fully express what he wanted to explain.In this scene, the "clown" unabashedly uncovered his scars, his expression was sometimes joyous and sometimes serious, but every sentence he said was full of cruelty.

If it weren't for the deepest analysis and understanding of this character, Heath Ledger might not be able to perform this scene so impressively.

For the current Heath Ledger, it is undoubtedly a dangerous move to go deep into the heart of the neurotic "Joker". This is a completely anti-human and anti-social character. existence is questioned.

At least Ebert understands from his own experience that "Joker" is a scary character, but one can't help but explore it.

"Great acting." Heath Ledger had just finished his performance when Ebert stepped forward and gave him a high five.

Heath Ledger smiled back.However, Ebert could see that Heath Ledger's mental state did not seem to be very good. There is no doubt that it is really an energy-consuming activity to perfectly play a role like a clown. Heath Ledger's mental state is in the After taking over the movie, he recovered a little bit, but it is not easy to complete this scene.

Ebert believes that more than one person in the "Dark Knight" crew discovered the abnormality of Heath Ledger, because when Ebert tried to communicate with Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Michael Key En and others have joined in, and even director Christopher Nolan sometimes participates.Chatting in the dressing room in the morning has almost become a compulsory course for the crew of "The Dark Knight". Through this method, the relationship between the actors of the crew has been greatly enhanced, and the cooperation between them has become more and more tacit.

Seeing that Heath Ledger's condition improved slightly day by day, and he was able to joke with them, Ebert was very happy.

Being an actor has always been a very stressful profession. Popularity and worth rise and fall almost instantly. Actors who have been popular must face up to the reality that their popularity will decline one day. For actors who have never become popular, others Lying on US dollars to sleep and still struggling on the poverty line, the sense of gap will make some guys who are not mentally strong collapse.

The hearts of patients with depression are usually very fragile, but this fragility endows them with a unique delicateness, because they think that they have seen through the world, and there is nothing in the world that can save them, so they feel despair.But as far as the profession of actors is concerned, this kind of delicacy can actually allow them to have more interpretations of the characters, so when they are in pain, some crews not only ignore their conditions, but also use their extremely painful conditions to increase their burden , so that the final effect of the movie can be perfect.

Sitting on the chair, Ebert threw a bottle of water to Heath Ledger: "After having you, I found that my stress suddenly became much less."

Heath Ledger showed a puzzled look: "Why?"

"Because you have completed the most difficult scenes." Ebert sighed, "In the previous film, Liam Neeson and I had a lot of fighting scenes, but this one doesn't even have fighting scenes, only The next few drag racing scenes."

"Follow the traffic laws, don't forget." Gary Oldman put his hands in his pockets, "But seriously, Heath, you did a great job just now, if you're not usually so easy to get along with, I might think that 'clown' look is who you really are."

Heath Ledger paused: "But in my understanding, 'Joker' should be like this, this is what a pervert should be like, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, it's scary because it's realistic." Gary Oldman frowned, and looked at Ebert accusingly, "Ebert, this is discrimination? Why is there water after Heath's performance?" Drink, I don’t have anything, at least we are good friends who have worked together twice, Heath and you just met.”

Heath Ledger glanced at the two of them silently, knowing that the daily routine of Gary Oldman and Ebert was about to be staged again, he subconsciously took a step back.

Ebert threw a bottle of water over: "Gary, it's easy to go bald when you're too preoccupied in middle age. Don't forget, you're an Englishman."

"I want to darken my hairline, hehe." Gary Oldman gave him a cold look, "Unfortunately, I am different from other men, I am very old, but my hair still looks like 20 years old It was so shiny when it was on, and it felt like fine quality satin. Compared to me, Mr. Albert Dawson, you will be in your 30s in a few years, you know, God favors your face but not I will definitely take care of your hair, maybe one day..."

Gary Oldman stretches out a finger and draws a big circle, then a smaller circle: "You know, a circle within a circle, and the shadows are covered in black hair."

"Pfft——" Gary Oldman's analogy caused a burst of muffled laughter, and Aaron Eckhart laughed: "It's a very vivid metaphor, Gary, you must have studied fine arts at the Academy of Art .”

"Yes, I agree." Michael Caine blinked and raised a hand.

"Not only that, but his math must also be very good, the shadows or something... It's not the same as ordinary British people."

Gary Oldman suddenly became anxious: "Why are you criticizing me now? I am the one who is hurt, am I not? God, as an elderly person, I express deep regret for your different treatment, don't you Shouldn't you come to comfort me?"

Everyone blinked and turned a blind eye.

Gary Oldman was suddenly a little depressed, and his dejected look attracted many sympathetic eyes.

At this time, Heath Ledger, who had been immersed in the world of the script, suddenly raised his head and showed a smiling face to Gary Oldman: "Comfort you."

Gary Oldman's face suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny.

"You do have a little more hair than ordinary people, congratulations."
