The ugly idolize dog is here.
In 2014, "Little Freckle"Eddie RedmayneFirst collaboration with British actressFelicity Jones, starring in the biopic The Theory of Everything.
This is about one of the greatest physicists in modern times—Stephen william hawkingThe film, with the emotion conveyed by the story and the superb acting of the protagonist, swept the award season, and both actors nominated Oscar and Golden Globe for best actor and actress.
In the end, "Little Freckle" won with blameless performance.Oscar and Golden Globe for Best ActorBecome a well-deserved film emperor.
After six years, the two joined hands again and brought a new film released today-
Aeronauts
Like The Theory of Everything, Aeronauts alsoBased on real historical events：
In 1862, james Glaisher, a British meteorologist, took a hot air balloon to the sky for weather survey in order to realize his dream of "forecasting the weather".
On this flight, James willThe altitude record of using a hot air balloon to lift off without carrying oxygen equipment has increased from 7010 meters to 11000 meters.In the next 40 years, this record has not been broken.
James, who is obsessed with meteorological research and played by Eddie Redmayne in Aeronauts, is based on the meteorologist of the same name.
Another protagonist of the movie—Female The Aeronauts Amelia Lune(felicity jones) is a combination of two historical figures.
When James started this high-altitude trip in 1862, his partner was Henry Coxwell, a famous balloon aviator. The image of the female The Aeronauts in the movie is referencedSophie Blanchett, a 19th century French hot air balloon pilot.She is the first female aviator to fly a hot air balloon alone in history.
The former is experienced, bold and cautious; The latter is enthusiastic and cheerful, and is keen on doing all kinds of fancy performances on hot air balloons. Amelia in the movie is the combination of the two.
James Glaisher’s flight, which broke the human history record, brought back the observation data that laid the foundation of modern meteorology, and also increased human understanding of the stratosphere, which promoted the pace of human aviation exploration to some extent.
Aeronauts is a vivid representation of this high-altitude adventure with both danger and excitement.
"Little Freckle" and Jones are both biographical films. We might as well compare this new film with the acclaimed The Theory of Everything.
as"atypical" biopicAfter the release of The Theory of Everything six years ago, praise and criticism poured in almost at the same time.
After all, the protagonist of this film is Hawking, who is world-renowned, and his deeds are familiar to the audience.
In the eyes of the audience, he is a paralyzed ALS patient and a great scholar with the whole universe in his mind.
However, The Theory of Everything’s sword is biased, avoiding his sharpness and achievements, butBased on the love story of Hawking and his first wife Jane, this paper tells the story of their 25-year love life..
Some people say that this way of telling stories "wastes this great man", but in Xiaowan’s view, Hawking, who has faded from the aura of "great man" and pursued love and dreams like ordinary people, has touched the audience equally deeply.
What’s more, "The Theory of Everything" conveys a beautiful and nuanced feeling for 25 years with beautiful lens language and excellent performance.
This meaningful feeling is neither defeated by disease nor compromised by the mystery of the universe.Such feelings and "Great Hawking" should complement each other.
To take a step back, the performance of "Little Freckle" by the best actor has vividly conveyed the beauty and magnificence of the universe through a few eyes and expressions!
The same is true in Aeronauts.
In the arrangement, the female companion invented by the screenwriter for James is the most controversial place. But the setting of this character is not as simple as "gender exchange".
On the one hand,The awakening of female consciousness in the 19th century has been reflected in more and more fields.Sophie Blanchett, the prototype of Amelia, has long enjoyed a good reputation. The combination of performance with hot air balloon and the setting that her husband died in a flight accident are also real events that happened to Sophie.
From the perspective of drama conflict, it is easy to have more freshness brought by contrast between cheerful and enthusiastic experienced female pilots and silent and stubborn meteorologists who are obsessed with scientific research.
Of course, this also determines that Aeronauts only "draws materials" instead of "reappearing" completely.
For Eddie Redmayne and felicity jones, two outstanding actors, The Theory of Everything and Aeronauts bring greater challenges, and I’m afraid it’s impossible to tell the outcome.
In The Theory of Everything, Eddie’s challenge is obvious:
He will play Hawking from the age of 17 to 48, from high-spirited college students to depression and despair after the diagnosis of ALS, from the initial stage of stumbling to the long time of total paralysis.This is a high demand for "little freckles" in all aspects, such as body, expression, acting and so on.
Of course, it turns out that Eddie’s best actor didn’t get a hollow reputation:
If Eddie, who heard the light in the eyes of the origin of the universe, is showing excellent acting skills, then Eddie, who is curled up in a wheelchair at the back of the film, has made the audience confused whether it is Hawking or Eddie, the actor.
The challenge of The Theory of Everything to Jones is how to find his role under Eddie Redmayne’s superb acting skills.
In the end, Jane Hawking, who she presents through details, is a tough and great woman who has devoted her life to love and faith.
In Aeronauts, the two of them face the same challenge:
This partHigh-altitude adventure themeThere are many intense scenes and actions in his works.Spectacular aerial scenes, the director also chose the real shot as much as possible.
In order to restore the texture of hot air balloon travel as much as possible, the crew specially made giant inflatable balloons used in that era. In order to drive this big guy smoothly, Jones also went to Germany for special training in advance.
The most intense high-altitude climbing scene in the film was also shot by drones and helicopters after the crew raised the balloon to 3000 feet (about 900 meters).
However, there are unknown risks in every link of hot air balloon driving. Eddie and Jones were in danger of not landing smoothly on their first day in the group.
In a later interview, Eddie even recalled "I bought medical insurance before making this film, which is probably the most correct thing I have ever done.”。
The risk of taking this play can be imagined.
But fortunately, Eddie and Jones are already tacit partners. Eddie once revealed at the premiere that after getting the script, the two exchanged phone calls and said, "You play, I’ll play."
The trust and mutual encouragement between them urged the two perfectionists, who were equally demanding of details, to take a better state and put themselves into shooting.
Of course, the ultimate benefit is of course the audience who can enjoy their exquisite performances again.
Aside from the performance, Aeronauts is definitely the most worthy movie to watch on the big screen this week, because it is absolutely not to be missed for its high-altitude wonders through real shooting combined with CG technology.
The rolling cumulonimbus clouds or the radiant high-altitude sunset shown in the trailer are more magnificent and magnificent than you can imagine.
The best way to open this weekend is to follow the two protagonists to experience the high-altitude adventure of adrenaline soaring and enjoy the absolute peace in the 10,000-meter-high air.
