Chapter 776 Pride and Prejudice
Sure enough, Pride and Prejudice is applicable to different situations and scenarios, and it is always new when seen. Human beings are always prone to blindfolding themselves without realizing it.
It wasn’t until now that Michelle understood.
A little embarrassed and a little reserved.
But at least, it's not too late.
Michelle was silent for a moment, and then his thoughts returned to the project again——
Compared with his personal setbacks, he still cared about the future of the project. Looking at Anson in front of him, Michelle finally had an idea A little curious, he also wanted to explore Anson's thoughts.
"So, where is Joel?"
Words, asked.
Charlie:? ? ?
Sir, now is not the time to discuss the script and the characters, right? Who knows if Focus Features had contacted Nicole Kidman’s agent while they were “chatting”?
But the words were already on his lips, but in the end they were not spoken out——
Does this mean that Michelle is finally willing to give Anson a chance?
Involuntarily, Charlie also looked at Anson, vaguely expecting.
Anson did not speak immediately, but thought about it seriously.
In his previous life, what was Jim Carrey's performance like in "The Light Within"?
In Anson's view, it is similar to "The Truman Show". Jim Carrey tapped into the character's unique texture between comedy and tragedy. His interpretation of Joel is boring. , rigid and conservative, slightly neurotic, and loves Clementine in his own way.
Although Jim Carrey has suppressed and suppressed, he still has not completely got rid of his comedy talent——
In any case, this has been his special skill for more than ten years. , you can more or less see some shadows; at the same time, you can also see how directors Michelle and Jim Carrey grasped the traces of neurosis during the cooperation process. This is also the vague feeling between Joel and "The Truman Show" There is a reason for some kind of fit.
This trait is the reason for Jim Carrey's great success, but it is also a shackle that limits his breakthrough at certain times.
Fortunately, in the movie "Warm and Containing Light", this neurosis collided with Clementine and became an extra bonus.
There is no doubt that Jim Carrey did a great job.
So, what are Anson’s advantages?
Or to put it another way, what will Anson’s interpretation of Joel look like?
What is 100% certain is that there is no comparison between Anson and Jim Carrey in terms of comedy talent, and his interpretation of the character is naturally different.
"From a psychological point of view, love can be divided into two types."
"One is to look for similar people, whether it is personality, appearance, interests, hobbies, including value orientation, and belong to the same category as yourself "
"One type is to look for outliers, simply put, people who are completely opposite to themselves."
"Some people tend to fall in love with people who are similar to themselves, so they fall in love with each other. Falling in love with the same type of person again; some people tend to fall in love with people who are different from themselves. Maybe the type of person they fall in love with is different every time, but the thrill is the same."
" The former is looking for a sense of security and identity, and resonance is the key.”
"The latter is looking for a sense of freshness and adventure, and experience is the key."
"In my personal understanding, Joel and Clementine belong to the latter, they are looking for each other The missing part of themselves can only be completed when they embrace each other."
After a small pause, Anson's words confused Charlie and Michelle, but as the words progressed, The vision suddenly opens up, as if a door to a whole new world has opened.
Jim Carrey's version of Joel, Anson believes, is essentially the same type as Clementine. Although they express themselves in different ways, both people are essentially insecure and try their best to get rid of each other. Drawing warmth from her body; and after encountering the wall, Clementine chose to erase her memory without hesitation, and Joel also erased his memory in retaliation.
The natural neurosis of Jim Carrey and the neurosis interpreted by Kate Winslet form a subtle echo. However.
Is this really true of Joel?
At least Anson disagrees.
Judging from Charlie Kaufman's script, Joel and Clementine should be two completely different personalities or even two completely opposite individuals. Their worlds have no intersection, but they prefer to Falling in love with each other, like the ocean meeting fire.
Clementine tries to find a sense of security in Joel, and Joel tries to find a sense of adventure in Clementine.
This is the foundation and core. The characters and plots developed on this basis are completely different. Maybe the plot is still the same, but the motivation, emotion, state, etc. are all different. The chemical reactions of the characters and the texture of the story will also be Earth-shaking changes have taken place.
“Joel, in essence, is restless.”
“It is precisely because he is full of fear of the world and timid of the unknown that he chooses to curl up obediently in the turtle shell There, he lived a peaceful life. Until he met Clementine, the desire for adventure deep in Joel's soul awakened."
"Their quarrels, collisions, and conflicts all originated from two people. Difference in personality."
"When Clementine realized that Joel was also uneasy and she could not find a sense of security in him, she decisively chose to turn around and leave."
< br>
"At this time, Joel realized that he was trying to get out of the comfort zone but still lingering in the comfort zone, so that he finally lost Clementine. He chose to erase his memory like Clementine. In fact, this was a contradictory choice. On the surface, he is trying to return to his turtle shell and refuse to take risks again; in fact, he finally steps out of his comfort zone and takes a risk, and he is becoming just like Clementine, but he doesn't realize it."
He.
Michelle took a breath -
This was something he did not expect.
Anson’s analysis and interpretation of the characters are far beyond imagination.
But Anson didn't pause, didn't feel complacent about Michelle's surprise and Charlie's contemplation, and was completely immersed in his own thoughts.
“So, when the memory began to collapse, Joel realized from those memories that Clementine had already changed herself unknowingly, and those contradictions and conflicts were precisely what made her grow. The key is that he should not forget those memories, but keep those wounds firmly in mind."
"So, Joel desperately tried to restore the memory."
"Just like Icarus. "
Michelle was completely caught up in Anson's words and couldn't help but murmured, "Embrace the sun? "
Icarus in ancient Greek mythology was the fool who flew towards the sun with wings made of wax, oblivious to himself until his wings melted and he fell into the ocean.
Flying a moth into a flame is a stupid move in the eyes of the world; but the purity and simplicity behind stupidity is a natural force.
The same is true for love.
Knowing that the ocean and the flame are incompatible, they still embrace each other without hesitation, burning their souls to feel the emotional temperature.
This is the core of Michel Gondry's original inspiration for this creation. It has been so long that even he himself has forgotten about it.
