"Start shooting!"
Ogus's voice sounded in the quiet studio, even a little abrupt, accidentally disturbing the sparrow parked at the window, and flew away with a thud, and then the scene returned to tranquility, and all eyes were focused on the blue. Eli and Rachel, but no one moved.
It was clear that Renly didn't speak or move, but the invisible aura of performance made people hold their breath: Ogus' camera did not capture the front, but captured Renly and Rachel in a frame-like set composition. Er's side, showing a complete picture, this is enough.
Although the onlookers couldn't catch Renly's eyes like Rachel, the ubiquitous performance aura still slowly permeated.
The shoulders, which have always been bent and curled, are quietly straightened, and the amplitude is not obvious. It is far from being full of confidence, but you can still feel the change; the hands are still clasped and clasped between the knees, but there is no further awkwardness. And it was tense with restraint, and a slight relaxation could be faintly detected; the most important thing was still the eyes—

When he first entered the hotel to check in, his eyes were always wandering and distracted, and the collapse of focus and focal length could not capture the law at all. The only thing that was certain was that he always avoided direct contact with his eyes, which appeared from time to time. The state of being distracted and in a daze seems to be immersed in his own world, like a sloth.
But at this moment, he was sitting upright and quietly, just like that, quietly staring at the short-sighted woman in front of him. Even if you don't see the eyes directly, you can still clearly perceive that kind of concentration, not affectionate, not pampering, not love, but concentration, whole-hearted concentration, as if facing a rare treasure.
Calm, but intense.
Cool, but hot.
Focused, but turbulent.
He just sat on the spot and stared at the woman in front of him, but the emotions that burst out from the inside out have already told the story of the vicissitudes.
"Roar!"
The entire crew couldn't help holding their breath. Although they knew that this scene was very, very important, their minds were now filled with Renly's every move - to be more precise, Renly didn't act at all, but it was Sitting there quietly, the story has already been told.
This performance really gives me goosebumps.
David raised his right hand slightly cautiously, and summoned the waiter over—the gesture of raising his hand was somewhat rigid and somewhat regular, as if it was framed in a square or rectangular frame. He showed a shallow smile and put it down again.
Then, his eyes quickly glanced at the short-sighted woman again, and the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly and slowly closed.
One look has already expressed the madness and enthusiasm of falling in love, and it doesn't even need too much embellishment, it is enough to make the corners of every audience's mouth rise.
When the waiter appeared, David raised his chin slightly and said politely, "Excuse me, may I have a pair of knives and forks?" After a pause, he added, "Not butter knives, but steak knives."
"Wait a minute," the waiter said, and left.
The waiter has already left, but David's eyes are still fixed on the original position - it seems that the old problem has been committed again, and the focus and focal distance have collapsed unconsciously. However, if you observe carefully, you can faintly detect the abnormality. , This time, he was not distracted, but thoughtful.
Invisibly, he gently nodded his head. More precisely, he seemed to be unconsciously using his lower jaw to match the rhythm of thinking. The long eyes rolled out more confusion and precipitation. Therefore, the nodding action seemed to be self-refueling. With encouragement, add leverage to your decision.
"Do it. Do it. Do it right. Okay. That's it."
That's about it.
The uncertainty revealed by the slight pause was all dissipated in the affirmation of the jaw, and then, just like this, he convinced himself.
His eyes slowly lowered, and the focus and focal length were all hidden in his eyelids. Then, blinking again, nodding again, just two small movements, he cleared up all his thoughts, and when he raised his eyes again, he had already turned his head. He looked at the myopic woman without hesitation.
Very trivial and very subtle movements, more often it seems to be a conditioned reflex action made between the unconscious, just like the twitching of the fingers caused by the pulling of nerves - not their own movements, but subconscious reactions, but it is precisely these small movements, But it made the whole mood change more subtle.
The entire shooting scene was silent.
Today, they are filming the last scene of the movie - not the final scene, just the last scene of the movie, shot ahead of schedule.
After the loner leader discovered the spark of love between the myopic woman and David, she tricked the myopic woman into the clinic on the grounds of correcting her vision, only to blind the myopic woman directly, trying to destroy the relationship, but The situation of myopic women and David has undergone an essential change:
They decided to go back to the city, to live in the city as a couple and integrate into society.
After some twists and turns, David and the short-sighted woman returned to the city, but before they officially returned to daily life, in order to express the equality of the two people - it was as if the lame man had tried to find the lame woman before, and finally failed, so deliberately Got a nosebleed from my own nose, found a woman with a nosebleed, partnered, and now David and myopic women "need" the same. So... David needs to blind himself.
That's why David asked for a steak knife, he was about to self-harm.
According to the "Lobster" script, the ending stays at a moment:
David tried to poke his eye, but didn't do it yet; the short-sighted woman looked out the window, implying that she was not completely blind, which would also be another metaphor - David is still the moth to the fire for love Existence; and myopic women are the real masters at the top of the food chain.
But after discussion and adjustment, Renly and Oggs reached a consensus that if David stayed at the moment he was about to start, such an ambiguous state could open up countless possibilities, but it would be a serious injury to the story after the adaptation:
On the one hand, it is impossible to show David's moth to the flame. Although it originally stayed in the moment of hesitation, it can still show the selfish nature of human beings at a critical juncture, but such a level seems too superficial, not as good as David's. The social metaphor cruelty brought about by truly accomplishing self-mutilation - innocent people will eventually be destroyed, the cold society will eventually be unstoppable, and even the flame of love will completely die out, which is also divorced from the single-level profound meaning of "mutual love needs common ground". , giving the story a deeper social reflection.
On the other hand, it is impossible to show the ultimate despair. From the hotel to the forest to the society, all hopes are all extinguished along with David's self-mutilation. The most ironic thing is that David thinks he has achieved love, but the truth is It was he who destroyed the last hope with his own hands, and his innocence became a joke and irony in the blood.
The most important thing is that it is impossible to challenge the concept of love in the whole movie-those who pretend to have love are safe and sound; those who pretend to have no love are covered in bruises and bruises; and those who really have love are doomed. This is what Oggs originally constructed. The core meaning of the entire "Utopia" story is finally achieved with the blood of David.
After modifying the ending, Renly's performance naturally needs to make some adjustments: those details do not imply that the audience is ready, but really show his inner determination.
Those hesitations, those hesitations, those hesitations... Although they were short-lived, they really showed David's psychological struggle, and then he made a choice.
But... is it really that simple? Just like a person who is about to commit suicide, before he is about to poke his eyes out, David's fluctuations can't be so simple.
David cheered for himself secretly, and then his eyes looked at the short-sighted woman again - he didn't realize the action himself, but began to look carefully at the eyes of the short-sighted woman, his head slightly tilted to the left and right sides. It seemed that he hoped to be able to make more accurate judgments under the sun; then, he leaned forward slightly, kept his eyes in contact, and approached slowly, just like this.
At the same time, David's eyes also slowly opened, as if trying to spy on his own figure reflected in the pupils of the myopic woman.
The description seems to be very violent, but the actual situation is different. David's upper body is only slightly leaned forward, not too much - not because of cowardice, but because all actions are actions in an unconscious state, even the big ones. Wei himself did not realize the fear in his heart:
He is still subconsciously asking for proof, whether the myopic woman is really blind, not to pierce the woman, but to avoid self-harm, that earnestness and anxiety caused his body to make unexpected actions. He thought he had controlled himself, but he was actually verifying to a small extent that those insignificant details and actions revealed the true emotions deep in his heart.
But at this time, David's heart was full of love, he selectively ignored those fears, and then his body was frozen in the scrutiny.
Nothing was found.
The eyes and pupils of the short-sighted woman did not react at all, reflecting his face and movements like a mirror, but still could not detect the spirit.
This means that David has not been able to find a reason to back down. So, his body was frozen, and he stared at the myopic woman quietly like this: no stiffness, no fear, no withdrawal, just stopped in place, and then staring at the short-sighted woman's gaze softened little by little, It seems that he is appreciating the unique treasures in the world, that kind of tenderness gradually overflows, and then evolves into a touch of light joy—
As long as he does it himself, then they can be together forever, right
