This kitchen quarrel is the most important scene in "Crazy Love", not because it connects the ending of the story, but because it exhausts the core of the movie.
In fact, both Jacob and Anna still love each other deeply and deeply—Jacob kept flying to London and worked hard, and in the face of Sam's love, he still tried to get closer to Anna; Anna is still jealous, upset, and missed, so much so that when the bracelet Jacob gave her accidentally snapped, she almost collapsed.
Their love is so hot that it consumes almost all of their energy. Even though they are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, they are still trying to get close to each other. Physical exhaustion gradually turns into mental exhaustion. They don't even have the strength to quarrel and gradually forget it. Their goals and aspirations.
So, what are they doing
If you choose to give up, will things be easier, Anna and Simon build their lives in London, Jacob and Sam run their furniture studio, smile in the rivers and lakes, and really draw an end; if you choose to give up, Will life become easier? Jacob doesn’t need to constantly travel between the two cities, and Anna doesn’t need to beg for a visa; if she chooses to give up, will life become smoother and Anna can sprint with all her strength While his journalistic career has climbed to the top, Jacob can also concentrate on designing furniture and expanding his business...
Every ounce of reason in their heads screamed and screamed that they should give up. They still love each other deeply, but they have also started to hate each other.
People always think that love and hate are inexorable opposites, but in a trance, they realize that they are actually two sides of the same thing, and they are indistinguishable from each other. The more painful it is, the harder it is to love. When love and hatred have merged into one, what is it that supports them to go on
This is the theme of "Crazy Love": Anna and Jacob still love each other deeply, but they also have someone to accompany them, so how should they choose? Choose love, or choose companionship? Or to put it further, is the essence of love passion or companionship
"The Guard is Here"
The quarrel in this scene requires not only tension and sparks, but also intricate emotional changes. There are too many emotions hidden in every line and every look. In the performance just now, neither Renly nor Felicity could do their best.
Renly knew the difficulty of the scene well.
In the last life, this scene was not filmed well, the two leading actors did not perform well, and the lines and emotions were not in place. It just showed the contradiction between the two people in a superficial way, but did not make each other's inner hesitation, fetters and harmony. The confrontation is shown, let alone the contradiction between love and hatred, to the point of weakening the power of emotion.
However, this time, Drake has higher expectations for the movie. The high-quality shooting before has excavated the deep connotation of the script, and the emotions have been accumulated enough to reach the critical point of qualitative change, so he Naturally, looking forward to even better performances from the two actors, all the chemistry is fully detonated and the whole movie is pushed to a whole new level.
Renly wasn't in great shape, and this was the first time ever.
Renly doesn't have a good grasp of emotions. What kind of mentality does Jacob have? Is there any relationship between him and Sam that goes beyond his colleagues? Facing Anna's questioning, he feels guilty. , or more anger; in the face of Anna's suspicion, what kind of mood does he have, not to mention how his mentality changes when he finds out the tricky relationship between Anna and Simon later.
If Renly's own understanding is not complete, how can it be interpreted
In the three works so far - including all the previous shoots of "Crazy Love", Renly has not felt this way. This seems to be the first time he has encountered a bottleneck in his acting skills? Or is this not a bottleneck, just a jam? After all, every actor's state more or less ebbs and flows.
Renly tried to sort out his thoughts, but found that it was not an easy task. The previously well-organized brain seemed to be thrown into chaos; "Or, is this emotion Jacob's feeling?" Renly thought about it seriously. , but found that his train of thought was still blocked, and he couldn't explain it at all. This feeling was really bad, and Renly couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
"Renly, can we talk?" Felicity stopped Renly, who stood up, "I don't feel good, really bad."
Felicity said honestly, in the scene just now, if Renly's performance was flawed and unsatisfactory, then her performance was terrible. Her lines are almost like a ghost, and her performance is simply unbelievable, not to mention spirituality, and even the basic skills have completely disappeared, making it completely impossible to look at.
Felicity felt that she couldn't sort out such complex emotions, she couldn't feel Anna's emotions, let alone resonate, so she needed to talk to Renly. Not just because Renly is her partner, but because Renly is a great actor—a better actor than she is.
Renly rubbed his temples involuntarily, "Okay, but... I need to talk to Drake first, if you want, we can go together." Renly smiled wryly, "I'm a little unclear right now, the conversation may be Some problems can be solved.”
"Ha. It's the same here." Felicity couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll go find Drake with you."
Two people came to the monitor, and Drake was re-examining the scene just now. It must be admitted that this scene is still average, for Drake's previous standards, it is usable, and it is no problem to put it on the big screen; but after this period of high-level edification and training, Germany Lake's vision has also risen, and naturally he can no longer meet such a level of performance, and he needs more things.
"Drake." Renly interrupted Drake's re-view and threw the question directly, "Nothing happened between Jacob and Sam during this time, right?"
If it was before, Renly's words were all with unequivocal affirmation, but today they turned into questions. Derek could also feel Renly's absence, but he didn't ask too much, just nodded and affirmed, "Yes, after Jacob and Anna got married, nothing happened between him and Sam. "Is this Jacob's story, or is it Drake's story
Renly nodded meaningfully, which is why Jacob was so angry, so irritable. But the even scarier thing is that Jacob realized that the bond of trust between him and Anna had been cut off, and they began to doubt each other and question each other. Behind the quarrel, there was a more cruel reality hidden.
Jacob knew that even if he persuaded Anna, so what? That is only temporary. In the future, a phone call, a look, or a small matter may detonate the suppressed doubts again.
"So what really happened between Anna and Simon, right?" Felicity wasn't quite sure either. After getting a positive answer from Drake, Felicity fell silent. She knew Anna a little bit now. Anxiety and apprehension inside. Not only because of Jacob and Sam, but also because of her betrayal, she began to question herself, she began to annoy herself, and even began to hate herself, but she didn't know what to do.
This reminded her of the conversation between the two when Jacob first came to London and went back. Jacob told her that he seemed like an outsider. This time, she's an outsider in Jacob's life.
Felicity suddenly fell silent, and she could feel the despair and pain in Anna's heart. But when did things go wrong? She tried to recall those clues, what was Jacob's emotional clues like? How does Renly interpret the interpretation
Felicity raised her head and looked at Renly, "You said, are we still in love?" This question is extremely strange, obviously Felicity is one of the parties, why ask "us"
But Renly understood immediately. Felicity was asking Jacob and Anna, "Yes, we are still in love, deeply in love." Renly rubbed his temples again, he was now Wanting to hold a cigarette, he searched his pockets, but found that he was wearing a costume. Jacob did not have the habit of carrying cigarettes. "But sometimes, love can't solve all problems."
"So, is it distance?" Felicity asked.
"No. It's just life." Renly replied again, and the faint sadness and helplessness were revealed. Did Jacob feel the same way? I feel like I'm slowly suffocating, but I don't know what is holding back.
He couldn't stay here any longer, it was terribly dull, "Drake, I need five minutes."
After speaking, Renly ignored everyone's astonished gazes, and quickly left the small apartment, sprinted all the way downstairs, trotted quickly along the street, walked out a street, and finally found a coffee shop After buying cigarettes in the store, he stuck one in his mouth, and his mood calmed down a little; of course, the cold fresh air in London also helped a lot.
He needs a breath of fresh air.
He lowered his head and temporarily cleared all the thoughts in his mind. Intermittently, Jacob's pictures and memories would still emerge, but the feeling of suffocation was disappearing, which was a good thing.
Renly took a slow walk down the street, what he needed now was calm first, then thinking. Taking a deep breath, the sassy and cold air of early autumn made the whole person feel a lot more comfortable.
There were two figures in sight, standing downstairs in the apartment, looking left and right, as if looking for the sign of the house number, then they saw Renly, and Renly saw them too, his footsteps stopped, far away. The ground, still more than twenty steps away, he stood there.
But the two didn't mind. The petite, well-proportioned woman raised her right hand and waved it gently, with a warm and bright smile on her face, "Long time no see, Renly."
