Today's first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

In the film story of "In the Clouds", Charlize Theron showed her languid and **** unique charm, made a new breakthrough in her acting career, and was unanimously recognized by the film critics, winning the Oscar nomination for Best Actress . When Evan Bell wrote the script, he had Charlize Theron on his mind, but in fact, Evan Bell also considered another famous actress, and more than Charlize Theron Said, this actress is the real queen of laziness, recognized throughout Hollywood. She is Winona Ryder.

Born in 1971, Winona Ryder became famous very early. She appeared on the big screen at the age of fifteen. At the age of seventeen, she collaborated with Tim Burton on "The Archmage of the Underworld". The second work he starred in has already won widespread attention. Followed by "Mommy Pretty Daughter", "Edward Scissorhands", and "Four Hundred Years of Vampire Zombies", several consecutive works won the praise of the public opinion circle, and also made her shortlisted for many times. Nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress have made Winona Ryder the leader of a new generation of actresses, and her love affair with Johnny Depp after filming "Edward Scissorhands" is even more appealing. attracted countless attention.

But few people know that when Winona Ryder's career was at its peak, this sudden attention also brought her depression to the extreme. She once wrote "Winona, the most beautiful woman in the world" at two o'clock in the morning. "Lucky Girl" billboard and burst into tears.

Then in 1993's "Age of Innocence" and 1994's "Little Women" for two consecutive years, Winona Ryder, who was only 24 years old, won an Oscar nomination. In an instant, she became a new generation of actors. She is a leading figure among them, and because of her clear and slightly lazy temperament, the whole Hollywood affectionately calls her "Lazy Queen", which shows that the media favored her at that time.

This is similar to Evan Bell, who stood in the top ranks of Hollywood in his early twenties. It is conceivable that Winona Ryder was very popular in the early 1990s.

But after that, Winona Ryder seems to be in a predicament, which is the same as the countless cases of Hollywood's young fame. Winona Ryder ended up with Johnny Depp Golden Boy After the jade girl's love affair, in reality, she was involved in a robbery case and caused an uproar, which seriously affected her development in the film industry.

It can be said that Winona Ryder, who was at her peak, seemed to disappear from people's sight overnight. Although Winona Ryder has never achieved good results at the box office, the sweet-looking Winona Ryder has become the favorite of countless film critics and audiences. Even though it disappeared from the public eye, it still caught people off guard.

After contributing two masterpieces, "Little Women" and "Four Graduates" in 1994, Winona Ryder worked with Al Pacino and Kevin Spay for nearly five years. West and Daniel Day-Lewis have worked together, but it's kind of incredible that they haven't been able to win any attention again.

This situation continued until 1999. The two works "Becoming John Malkovich" and "The Girl Who Moved Soul" brought Winona Ryder into people's attention again, but unfortunately, the former really attracted attention Falling on screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, the latter's focus is on Angelina Jolie, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

After that, for more than a decade, Winona Ryder has worked with first-line actors such as Al Pacino, Keanu Reeves, Richard Gere, and Ben Stiller. , but unfortunately it has never been able to reach the heights of the early 1990s, or even more dazzling achievements.

The career trajectory of actors like Winona Ryder is similar to that of Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Macaulay Culkin and others, and has achieved exceptionally good results in her own career early on. Results, there are stories of overnight fame in Hollywood, but it is easy for people to lose themselves after gaining attention too early. Maybe the way of getting lost is different, but after all, they have lost a clear understanding of their self-positioning, in the colorful neon lights Not finding the way, once slipped from the top, it is not that simple to find the right path again.

There are countless actors like Macaulay Culkin who have failed, but very few have completed a major comeback like Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke. Winona Ryder is still in the slump now, but she's not as serious as Macaulay Culkin, but it's not so easy to get back to the top.

Evan Bell admires Winona Ryder very much. In Hollywood above business, it is rare to see such an actor who can always stick to the field of independent films and insist on impressing the audience with the best performances. Therefore, for the role of "In the Clouds", Evan Bell seriously considered Winona Ryder, but finally chose Charlize Theron, mainly when the character was created. Vin Bell is more inclined towards Charlize Theron, and the tough, independent intellectual part of Charlize Theron's temperament is closer to Alex. Especially after the interview and conversation, it is obvious that Charlize Theron also has a strong desire for this role, so in the end this cooperation can be carried out.

"In the Clouds" failed to work with Winona Ryder, Evan Bell's regret is not very obvious, because Charlize Theron was the first choice at the beginning, and Natalie- When Portman wrote the script for "Black Swan", Winona Ryder was the first character that came to mind when Evan Bell portrayed the role of Beth, the former lead dancer of "Swan Lake". .

In fact, although the role of Beth in the "Black Swan" script is not the heroine, not even the first supporting actress, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a cameo, but the importance of the role to the script is unquestionable. The main line of the story of "Black Swan" is that Nina is constantly striving for perfection in order to win the title of chief dancer. In the process, increasing pressure gradually swallows her up, so that it is impossible to distinguish between fantasy and reality. difference. In this, the mental pressure brought by Beth is a part that cannot be ignored, even decisive.

Beth is first and foremost the former principal dancer in the dance company, which shows that in Beth, she can perfectly combine the two performances of white swan and black swan, so she is a target for Nina to chase , an iconic icon. But in this context, Beth was forced to end her dancer career, which made Nina realize that in this circle, the golden career of dancers is like a blooming short-lived, only short-lived. Vitality, this is Nina's worry about her future; after Beth was forced to retire, her madness and paranoia induced Nina's inner black swan in a sense.

The role of Beth and Lily, who has been decided to be played by Mila Kunis, symbolize competition and the future, respectively. These two roles are on opposite sides of the scale. Maybe their roles in the story are different, but for Ni Na's influence is evenly matched.

It's not an easy task to find an actress who can match Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman, and at this point, Winona Ryder meets the basic criteria first .

In addition, Beth and Nina's mother Erica have a lot in common, and there is a very important symbolic meaning behind the role of Erica. If you have seen "Fight Club" The audience knows that when a person's pressure reaches a peak, there will be a split personality. This split personality is more serious than the situation of John Nash in "Beautiful Mind". John Nash fantasized about several that did not exist at all. The role of the player, so as to imagine these characters to guide him to do something, and in "Fight Club" Jack and Taylor are two completely independent individuals, each of them has developed a story line of their own, with completely different behavior, style and personality. Different, but in fact, it was not known until the end of the movie that Jack and Taylor were the same person at all, and this was the real split personality.

When creating the character Erica, Evan Bell also defined the character as a product of Nina's split personality. Erica isn't completely absent though, it's a hidden clue.

Erica's existence is real, it's just that she was admitted to the hospital with Alzheimer's disease and can't remember anything, just like Grey's mother in "Grey's Anatomy", but Nina didn't tell anyone.

In the case of competing for the lead dancer, Nina was forced by Erika's terrifying control over her since she was a child, which made her pursuit of perfection reach a perverted state, so she was under great pressure to compete for the lead dancer seat. Under Nina also forgot that her mother was no longer by her side, and her personality split into a true image of a mother, who was in control of her life everywhere.

In other words, in the movie, Erica's character will not appear at all, and it is the product of Nina's self-personality split from beginning to end. It can be seen the importance and speciality of Erica.

But on the other hand, Evan Bell does not intend to be like "Fight Club" and blatantly reveal the answer at the end of the movie. He prefers to be like "Mulholland Drive", hiding all clues In the process of narrating the story, it is not straightforward to say it until the end. It requires the audience to observe carefully and analyze it carefully in order to find out the clues.

Therefore, the shooting of Erica's line is very sensitive. Evan Bell intends to use Beth as a projection of Erica in real life, and directly project Erica's influence on Beth. To a certain extent, the role of Beth is also very important, and it also puts forward very strict requirements on the understanding and acting skills of the actors, and it is not even inferior to the two roles of Nina and Lily.

When choosing the role of Beth, Evan Bell immediately locked on Winona Ryder, the innocent and melancholy, beautiful and abstinent temperament hidden in her, and "Black Swan" "This script is absolutely a match made in heaven.
