'BEHIND THE SCENES', 14 actors acting .. TO ACT = (or not to act) / ABOUT EGOS, characters, myths, actors, 2010 .. SPECIAL

That an actor can bring life to a character is a very interesting point, that to interpret a variety of methods have been proposed throughout history shows that it is not easy ; It has traditions going back about the early history of humanity ... means that man has always felt the desire to narrate, to give life to history, to illustrate and honor. Star animal fables, for the rest of the order of things in the layers of metaphor, the actor.

That simply, cinema, and with it their genres, styles, everything, would not exist without the actors is never something that should sometimes stop thinking. Perhaps always envied the movie and never have I ever feel envy the theater is the loneliness of the actor on stage, the stage : is there an actor really acts, but difficult crosses the thin line that separates these two areas that are the reality and fiction , aware and conscious of his own body and into character.

I chose 4 of those moments that do not belong to anything or anyone other than the performer and that key moment, only for you, intimate, intrinsic: when you come in character. As a silkworm butterfly is made. As if someone had fortunately been there to record it and now we can see these extracts from reality, backstage , almost clubhouse of work in progress ... small-large tributes to 14 players. Gestures, attitudes that make direct reference to those who have been their roles, actors or other side when necessary, this past year.

It's nice to do something like "14 actors acting" because, after all, the actor, the alter ego egocentric par excellence, should feel bad, really small when the nominees do not hear his name. Because merit, personal search, the levels of demand, the work behind, documentation, fieldwork, perhaps what is most like this, you are going on strike, do not see neither the jury nor the public. This gearing up for that shared the honors: the gala Oscars or Academy Awards in its 83 edition, said soon (the show will be the next February 27) ... The die is cast, yes, but this peculiar profession and those who have incarnated in this shipment are not filmmaking can or should reduce to that moment of glory at the American dream made in Hollywood . Is much more inner world, something that beats, at least for those who honor and strengthen the profession.

And, as stated Victoria Abril " The actor is the counsel of his character " is true: must believe in it, squeeze it, namely to build it, give it life. Some are more appealing, others daily, clinging to the wall, all interpreted in the actor's resource capacity.

says Vincent Cassel the only track that has received as a director's actor ' be good '

Sometimes the actor feels lost, others decide to take the initiative to rein in the runaway horse, propose things, change dialogue, even something that causes some effect on 'TO ACT' (that is, for example, small, tight, uncomfortable clothes, that is always the same, the their own, etc). The actor is reached sometimes get so into character, especially in the case of biopics / biographies, they just almost overlapping with it.

could have plenty of anecdotes in this regard ...

course talking about the word 'candidate' (a fame, good roles) ... I was impressed with the story of how he reacted Sal Mineo there in 1956, nominated the Best Supporting Actor by "Rebel Without a Cause" . She was just 17 years and was close to take the statuette. I was so convinced that it would take the prize, says the legend, he prepared a great feast upon, in style, were the golden days of cinema and the Oscars that year rose to announce another name, that of Jack Lemmon more specifically, the actor who had the dream that he had built in his head for him. The actor in evidence in the humiliation of his own expectation, in the eyes of all, his distress and disappointment. In fact, later, never entrains too well his career .. Charismatic, controversial reading it deserves a review. Sure. Mineo always Plato and Plato James will always be in love ..

Being an actor must be very inconsistent ..

Well, here's "BEHIND THE SCENES" , a marvel:

... a delicate Natalie Portman this striptease broken, empty and lonely ... with that kind of put off, seemingly simple, a kind of Gilda listless , to faint a "Put the blame on me" distorted, mute, broken by the black swan that kills (Brand has created a buzz for me especially around the issue dance).

... an elegant Vincent Cassel , which resembles a Gene Kelly left with is a musical and elegance, this naturally, if I suggested it might pick up that legacy and give long life ..;

... a Javier Bardem as the super-actor, in his alter ego more visceral, powerful, Latin and violent. And, no doubt, Bardem is a bomb at the cutting edge, which expects a promising international career (hopefully you know digest). And every time I think more about how much he deserves to do theater, in fact interpret Stanley, one of the great characters of the unforgettable heavyweights "A Streetcar Called Desire" / "A Streetcar Named Desire , of Tennessee Williams and Elia Kazan shot and became one of the best films of all time (coming in Theatre English ). And is that a good actor you have to see live and up close.

... And finally, which is my favorite scene of the series: James Franco , in a wonderful flat trickster lacaaniano with a striking resemblance in the quality of the face, the strange tenderness, one of the great enfants terrible film : James Dean -which was released just playing. And though not intended as a tribute to the wonderful "Rebel without case" / Rebel Without a Cause reminds me tremendously in that scene the beginning, when at the police station, theater state pure.

And up to 14 performances, beautiful project, I recommend you see in its entirety, not just by being charged an enormous halo, which also contributes, no doubt, in the sobriety of the mise-em-scene , Owen Pallet , instrumental genius, shot by Solve Sundsbo , but because it runs these "platitudes" or iconic moments of cinema, with an ease and brimming with elegance. Beautiful tribute to the cinema: in B & N , how could it be otherwise. In the end, I missed something along that line.





He opened a little issue ..

should not to overlook something very important is that the more alone and helpless seem to be more "bed" has been prepared. There was a Gepetto before that Pinocchio, the wooden puppet , behave and become a child of flesh and blood ... It is no coincidence that many of the actresses fetish of some directors have been the women beyond the screen, in real life, as a matter of wonder, but above all, because they rely heavily on them. A principal-a must, rather, it pays to have an actor / actress of these characteristics. As a dentist we all trust, the principal actor also has his confidence. Are for large and consolidated these couples, as Bergman / Ullman and R owlands / .. Cassavetes, and the only other tandems professionals such as Jean Pierre Leaud & François Truffaut , or brethren. Dardenne & Jérémie Renier , actors who have watched it grow from the hand of those directors fraternal.

That Liv Ullman is a great actress, who has managed to shine on screen countless times, as anyone close to the world of representation dare, even for a moment, to doubt his boundless talent, is partly to do with the depth of the scenes, with those almost eternal long close-ups of Bergman giving you, he was given the opportunity, a chance to break the very soul of the character, you get to feel (or pretend to feel but if you do in a real and sincere end empathizing , making it real) that something so painful or loss of dignity, their self-esteem, as though he could not recover. Is clear: I mean that plane mirror "Cries and Whispers " great Bergman , which goes from beautiful to ugly seconds, an absolute wonder.

On the other hand, are so many scenes in which Geena Rowlands has eaten screen with snacks for a long time I thought it was the best actress, the most dedicated, energetic, passionate, an 'animal stage' with all the letters that Juliette Binoche should keep in mind. How sad to see her in squalid papers ... when grazed glory (and not watered down and sweetened for Hollywood, but the circuit of film / theater more risky). Especially since, as a great actress, she played a star in crisis "Opening night" which is to loop the loop, as Petra in "The Bitter Tears .. ( Fassbinder , etc.). reflect on the actor in the crisis, vulnerability, their lack of action, is very beautiful .. By the way, Pedro Almodóvar shamelessly copied this script "All About My Mother " and never has publicly acknowledged, something that cries out to heaven and I think a total lack of respect for the classic film that one can honor, to be even by the greats.

is a pity that the film not author is so little was devoted to the actor, who has so little depth to the character .. An actor can not shine if you do not let him. It's a shame that movies are just the plot, theme, a series of scenes that are put to one side, in each, some, a ' quelque rights and ', a detail, a gesture that he owned.
