This is just a literary film with a limited audience.

On the night of the premiere day, Ryan bought two tickets himself, and Charlize Theron, dressed as a masker, took advantage of the cover of the night and walked into a box at a theater in Long Beach.

"It's not ideal from the cinema to the gear." After sitting down, Charlize took off his disguise.

Their box was on the second floor. Ryan looked at it. The attendance rate should be more than half. Many of them were young people. It was obvious that they came to watch the movie for themselves.

Hopefully they can hold on to the end of the video.

This is Ryan's real thought. Although Roman Polanski compressed the film under his strong suggestion, the length is still more than two hours. Such a long dull and icy atmosphere, I don't know the following How long can those young people last.

The reason why movies are loved by people and become the first-class entertainment method in the world today is that it can lead the audience to experience a completely different world, and the sense of substitution is the most important thing.

Although Spearman played by Ryan is the male protagonist, he is more of a bystander. Through what he has seen and heard, the film describes all the misfortunes that happened in the Warsaw Ghetto with surprising and objective brushstrokes. Given the reality of that period, this objectivity is almost cold and precise.

The cold and objectiveness runs through the film from the beginning to the end. This will be the style most appreciated by film critics, and it is also the place that most affects the audience's substitution.

If it cannot be substituted, it will seriously affect the viewing effect.

Charlize Theron is not Jewish and has no sense of the past. She will only focus her attention on the people she cares about.

All she wanted to see, of course, was Spearman, the pianist played by Ryan.

In 1939, the pianist Spearman was 27 years old. Played on Polish radio every day. World War II broke out. The German artillery hit the radio. The staff told him to leave. He shook his head because he had not finished playing the Chopin piano piece.

Faced with all kinds of difficulties, he resolutely said that he would die at home. But in the face of the pressure of survival, he can only bow his head.

He met the person of his admiration on the street and wanted to date her, but he was helpless in reality. He could no longer enter coffee shops, parks, or even touch the seats on the street. Walk into the ditch.

He was forced to wear the big satellite armband,

In order to fill his family's stomach and make a living, he had to sell his partner who had accompanied him for many years, the piano.

The whole family was driven to several high-walled Jewish quarters, and he could only sit in the restaurant and play the piano for the Jewish worms, despite the jeers of his brothers and the strange eyes of others. In exchange for a little food, it has nothing to do with dignity, just to survive.

He witnessed the wanton abuse and slaughter of Jews by the Germans countless times. He used his piano-playing hand to move bricks and dig potatoes. He bowed his head again and again in front of the cold reality, which was also for survival.

After untold suffering, he escaped from the concentration camp. Hiding in the ruins of the ruins of the Warsaw apartment complex, like a mouse, roaming around at night without seeing the light of day.

In order to live, he drank the turbid water in the spittoon, ate everything that could be used as food, and made use of all available conditions, just to survive tenaciously.

A Jewish pianist, for life. Art can only be temporarily abandoned, and gradually from the core of society to being isolated, abandoned and annihilated, life and dignity are so helpless when faced with a brutal war.

But he never gave up his life. Never gave up hope, even though hope is so difficult and so far away.

Someone hurt him, someone helped him, there are Jews, Poles, and Nazis in Germany.

A Jewish traitor who took refuge with the Germans and finally saved his life, but could not hide the identity of his accomplice.

Charlize suddenly thought of the original book that he was interested in reading because of Ryan, and understood that Jews are good and bad, Poles are good and bad, German Nazis are also good and bad, and the standpoint of human nature is different at different times and places. It behaves differently for different objects.

The movie seems to predict such an ending at the beginning of the movie - when human beings face the choice between art and life, they have to temporarily abandon romance and choose reality - without life, there will be no art.

Art appears weak and helpless in the face of war, like the last shivering open rose in the cold wind. Although the beauty is still there, how long can this dying, weak beauty last? She remembered a metaphor she once heard, war and art are like guns and roses - even in the hail of bullets, roses can shrink and bloom, but when they are in full bloom, how long can they survive in the cracks of artillery fire?

Eventually, he sat back on the Warsaw Radio again, playing music, and everything was as it was yesterday.

More than two hours have passed. Although Charlize Theron is an industry insider, in essence, he still likes lively young people. The slow pace and dull and cold style make her feel that these two hours are actually like this. of length.

Fortunately, there are still people she likes in the film. Although the thin and thin appearance in it seems to worry her, his sacrifice has indeed paid for a superb performance.

In this film, his performance is really impeccable, and he portrays an artist who has been threatened with death for a long time and is under the pressure of fear.

In particular, he hid in the center of Warsaw's block, hiding in the room. He couldn't make a sound to let people detect someone in the room. When he was looking for food in the room because of hunger again, he accidentally knocked a stack of Porcelain plate, the plate made a sharp and piercing sound of shattering, and then there was a fierce slap at the door. He kept shivering due to terror, and there was a look of horror in his eyes, that kind of overwhelm, that kind of soul flying away , making people worry about him from the bottom of their hearts, shuddering, and heartbreaking.

Charlize only felt that his heart had been pulled for more than two hours, and he kept praying to end it quickly, whether it was a movie or a war, it should end quickly.

Although she is not familiar with it, she knows that this film has a strong Polanski personal style. The director tortured the audience like this from the beginning of the film, and it was never warm until the end. It was as cold as a Warsaw winter. the streets in general.

She also understood why Ryan refused to invest more in this film. It would be a miracle if such a film could achieve a high box office.

Charlize Theron took another look at the audience below. Maybe there will be people who leave in the middle of the show.

In fact, as far as she is concerned, abandoning the strong personal style and heavy subject matter of the film, "The Pianist" is indeed not as exciting as "Schindler's List".

In other words, it's too dull.

Judging from Charlize's own experience in the industry, the influence of this film is probably far less than that of "Schindler's List". The order of birth is one aspect, and whether it can attract the audience is the most important aspect. .

Without an audience, a movie is nothing.

Perhaps it was a subtle influence, and she very much agreed with Ryan's point of view.

"Dear, what are you thinking?" Ryan pulled out Charlize Theron and reminded, "We're almost gone, we should leave."

"It's nothing, just seeing the image on you, I feel like this is not the Ryan I love." Charlize first armed himself as a masker, then put on the sunglasses and hat for Ryan, "I feel like you in the movie. , more miserable than those who came out of the poorest slums in Johannesburg."

"When I was at my thinnest, my weight dropped to less than 130 pounds." Ryan dragged her to the outside of the theater. "At that time, except for the skin and the bones, the whole person was out of shape."

"Your hard work will be rewarded." Charlize knew what Ryan's goal was, "Your film..."

"No, no, Charlie." Ryan shook his finger, "Strictly speaking, this is a Roman Polanski movie, don't watch the movie cold and dull, it actually carries a strong personal style and emotion. "

Opening the door for Charlize, Ryan went around to the other side and got into the driver's seat. "Although I don't like it very much, I have to say that Polanski's perspective is objective enough."

After Ryan started the car and drove into the empty seaside boulevard, Charlize rolled up a microphone with one hand and sent it to Ryan with a smile, "So, Mr. Jenkins, what do you think the movie is about? What does it contain? Deep subject?"

"The film tells how a Polish pianist was persecuted by the German Nazis..."

"That's it? Nothing else?" Charlize waited for a long time, but did not wait for Ryan's words.

"That's it, am I right?"

Of course, Ryan wouldn't say this to the media, and only when he faced the closest people would he say what he really thought about the movie in his heart.

He really put a lot of effort into this movie, and there are a lot of changes in many places and previous lives in the movie, especially about the scene where Spearman plays the piano.

Ryan has excellent piano skills, and in all of these shots, he played in person, and Polanski also took live recordings. For this alone, Adrien Brody in his previous life can't compare.

With the release of "The Pianist", Ryan's team has ushered in the most important task of this awards season, and strives for a best actor nomination. As for the best picture and best director, they will also be reported. If not In case of an accident, these two nominations will also be in the bag.

However, the best picture can try public relations, and the best director will rely on Polanski's own efforts.
