Legendary Hollywood Director

Late at night, living room.

Heath Ledger was sitting on the sofa with a script in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on "A Clockwork Orange" playing on the DVD player.

As an actor with more experience in acting, when he knew that he was going to play the clown, he consciously cultivated this feeling.

In other words, he is an experiential school from a "wild way". If he can't play the role himself, can he still expect the audience to have a sense of substitution?

While watching Director Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange", which was directly rejected by the more conservative British market because of his naked catharsis, Heath Ledger kept pondering and deducing in his heart.

Let him say, he thinks the Joker is very similar to Alex, the protagonist on the screen.

A character who is also full of evil spirits.

If you only compare ideological forms, the clown is obviously more extreme, crazy, and more purposeful and means.

However, Alex has two hobbies, one is listening to Beethoven, and the other is doing all kinds of evil. When he listens to Beethoven while **** and having sex, that kind of joyful expression from the heart... .

Of course, Heath-Ledger didn't learn a similar social topic.

The purpose of A Clockwork Orange is actually to question people's sense of freedom.

If everyone has to live according to fixed ways and principles. Do people really enjoy human rights when the power to choose good or bad is taken away?

The spearhead of the film is directed at social ideology, showing both free will and social ideology to extremes - for dramatic conflict.

The expression of Alex's pursuit of violence and pornographic **** is indeed disgusting and even hateful, which is why the theaters at that time were reluctant to play "A Clockwork Orange", especially the government could not accept this kind of ** , extreme catharsis.

But it is precisely because of the extremes that the opposite government's brainwashing method of dehumanizing people will also make the audience extremely uncomfortable. In fact, whether it is personal violence or social violence, a mature and civilized society should abandon it.

But then again, Burgess's is not a first-class movie, but Kubrick's movie is definitely a first-class movie.

What Heath-Ledger has to experience and learn is only the expressions and limbs of the actors when they perform similar acts under the tune of Master Kubrick, hoping to better substitute for another extreme role, the clown.

After all, he is just pondering the role, and he does not need to know any social ideology. That is what director Nolan needs to be responsible for.

In short, this role interests him a lot, and he also likes to play this kind of challenging, not a mentally retarded supporting role, a brainless male second.

It is not easy for an actor to meet a favorite character.

The same is true, Heath Ledger attaches great importance to this filming and wants to play in the best state.

Even after pondering the role of the Joker, he sincerely thanked Lyman for casting him.

Looking at it, I suddenly felt irritable.

Heath-Ledger knew that this was because of the emotional fluctuations caused by watching too much violence and seducing the negativity in his heart.

If you want to be the clown, it's not just about acting, at least for him.

Just as he was about to take sedatives, Heath Ledger suddenly remembered what Lyman had said to him a few days ago, "If you're not feeling well, let go of the role to give yourself a buffer space. Forcing your body too hard will eventually break down. . You should not want to be a person who relies on drugs to stabilize your emotions, you still have a daughter, you still have a career, and the blind squeeze will not last long..."

Then, he turned off the TV and went back to his room to listen to soothing music.

......

In the original time and space, Heath Ledger took a variety of mental and sedative drugs to die, not all because of the clown.

You know, from 2003 to 2006, his career almost came to a standstill.

If you can't get a good role, you're not famous; if you're not famous, you can't get a good role... This is almost a cycle of decline.

Before 2003, he was just a rookie actor, whether it took a few years to polish his acting skills or be familiar with performances, he could accept that he was not in his early stage, because many actors came here like this, and there was not much burden.

But what about after 2003?

He has already won the Newcomer Award, and it is a sprint stage that needs to rise up. If he can't take the lead - at least he must have a certain audience popularity and performance qualifications. What awaits him will only be forgotten by the circle.

When you are a newcomer, it's okay to be down and out, but if you keep down, you will definitely have a big inner burden.

That was the case in those few years. The only one that received recognition was the literary film "Brokeback Mountain". As a result, because of the sensitive subject matter, many benefits were not reflected on the actors. Some people even rudely thought he was something.

These days, there are always audiences who define the character image as the actor's private image, how is this possible.

Could it be that if he played a nobleman, he would be a real nobleman, and if he played a nerd, he would be really dumb?

In addition, he has a delicate mind, and the path he walks is the experience school who is most likely to fall into emotional turmoil. When he encounters a character clown who spans a large space, is anti-social, and is crazy with the unity of knowledge and action, he inevitably deepens his spirituality. burden.

Moreover, he started taking drugs before that, because sometimes he was inexplicably depressed and irritable. This is the effect of many drugs, and the deeper the depression, the deeper the problem, but the reason is because of the unsatisfactory career. , the inner goals of the whole person are always different and cannot be chased.

To be honest, even if he doesn't play the clown, there will be a drug abuse accident one day.

The reason why the topic of dying as a clown is formed is because Warners wants to eat dead people's money.

Similar things, you should be able to understand when you look at "Fast and Furious 7".

After all, most people in this world tend to have sympathy for the deceased. With just a little guidance, this sympathy can become a marketing case that maximizes benefits and can be written into the lesson plan.

You can only say that the role of the Joker brought him mental stress, but you can't say that he died for a character.

An actor, or an actor who loves to perform, cannot do anything for a role that is only one-sided.

However, from the perspective of future generations, this wave of operations by Warner is indeed a highly operative means of conforming to public opinion.

Of course, this is not to say that Warners has a black heart.

People don't kill an actor just by making a movie, it's a rather cold treatment after the incident.

But now what?

Heath-Ledger has gained a far broader stage than in his previous life.

"Buried Alive", "Bad Guy", "No Country for Old Men" plus many of his own independent works.

In recent years, he has not been short of filming, but there are not many big plays, and it is difficult to find roles with performance space, but his career is still developing very smoothly.

"Entertainment Weekly" rated Heath Ledger as one of the most outstanding actors under the age of 30, which is very telling.

To be vulgar, in terms of remuneration, he is also an actor who has steadily touched the second-tier ceiling, which is much better than his previous life.

And the reason why he can't break through is only the image that limits him.

Heath Ledger's acting skills are excellent for his age group, but he is not handsome enough, nor is he an action movie star, so it is difficult to take the lead.

In other words, if you want to become a superstar, you must either follow the path of idols, have high commercial value, or have unparalleled appeal in a certain subject area.

As for acting.

There are more acting talents. Meryl Streep is still a nail in the Oscars, and the salary is still low.

This is where Heath Ledger is now.

In terms of value return, he is obviously not high~www.readwn.com~ but is also better than most actors because he already has certain qualifications.

Therefore, at this time and space, he himself is mentally good.

And because I can receive a play and have a job, I don't have to stay at home for a long time to get moldy.

Of course, it has not been oppressed enough to require psychotropic drugs to maintain the usual emotions.

Of course, because of his own way of entering the play, he must have some influence, but as long as the influence is controlled within a certain range, I have never heard that the experience group will not be able to get out of the role.

Coupled with the occasional greeting from Lyman about his life, he didn't feel like he was going in a bad direction.

Looking at it now, he himself has stepped out of the cycle of decline, and his heart is still strong and stable enough.

the next day.

Heath Ledger had just finished breakfast when he got a call from Lyman.

There is only one thing to be notified, to determine the character's dress and style, and to create a specific image of the clown in the play.
