What happened to me? Why did I lose control? Is it really like Matthew said that he was actually manipulating all this from beginning to end. The devil is not Matthew, but himself?

Hugo forced himself to calm down and not panic because of this possible fact. He must clarify his thoughts and find a way to control it, otherwise he will be a demon, regardless of whether the demon's personality is Matthew or not.

The mind was messy, and Hugo could not find a clear idea at all. There were only fragments of thoughts, messy. From the recent incident of the "Death Prisoner Walking" crew, to the memories of Lancaster in Lanchez when he was a child, to the scenes of rehearsing with band members on the school playground when he was a child, countless clips filled his head, making Hugo feel that his head was about to explode.

But this time Hugo did not lose his calmness because of his irritability. He closed his eyes and gradually adapted to the darkness. Although the crying of Matthew's mother was still circulating around him, he recalled Adam's back just now. The memories of the past calmed down Hugo, and all the irritability slowly settled down in the darkness.

Hugo remembered a movie, "Deadly Identity", which tells the story of personality splitting. The movie infinitely amplifies personality splitting, making each personality an independent individual, and then fights with each other, and in the end there is only one subject personality left.

In fact, from the perspective of the psychoanalytic school, the essence of multiple personality is the separation of psychological processes, which is often self-identity, personality state, and ideological cognition, and gradually separate into independent individuals. In short, it is the difference between angels and devils.

In fact, multiple personality is different aspects of a personality, kindness and evil, docile and irritable, compromise and rebellious. When these different personalities start to receive external stimulation from childhood, and encounter a trigger point, they gradually split and eventually form two completely different personalities.

Of course, this is not absolute. Some situations with multiple personalities will also have similar personalities. This needs to vary from person to person.

But in essence, it can be understood that multiple personality is to split different characteristics from one personality. Just like an adult, he cannot simply define his personality. He has a kind side, naturally an evil side, a gentle side, and an irritable side. Most people are a combination of multiple personalities, and then show more characteristics of a certain personality according to different people.

So people always say that everyone is a combination of angels and devils, but most people can control the devil and prevent their behavior from exceeding the constraints of moral laws and regulations. If they are more professional, this requires explaining the difference and connection between the id, the self and the superego.

However, Hugo didn't know much about psychology. He just suddenly realized that what Matthew said was probably the fact. Matthew's personality was actually the dark side deep in Hugo's heart. It was infinitely amplified by the performance research process, and then became independent, thus forming the personality of Matthew, which eventually led to loss of control. In essence, Matthew is part of Hugo.

This reminds Hugo of the performance views that Catherine Hepburn had told him before.

When an actor studies the performance, he must have enough understanding and cognition of the role, but this so-called "understanding and cognition" is based on the actor's own position, not the idea of ​​the real character.

Simply put, if Hugo has never killed someone, he will never know what it feels like to kill someone. Even if he has "killed someone", every murderer has a different psychological state after committing the crime. Some people will feel guilty, some will panic, and some will not feel anything. So, Hugo, first, doesn't know how Matthew feels when he killed someone, second, doesn't know how Matthew's psychological state after he killed someone, and third, doesn't know how Matthew's psychological experience before he chose to kill someone.

Just as Katherine Hepburn said, it is impossible for an actor to experience all roles, because an actor is just a simple person and has his own life, but the roles played by an actor have infinitely rich life. This is impossible to equate.

Therefore, the actors' understanding and cognition of the role are always based on their own experience and knowledge. From this perspective, when an actor interprets the role, it can be called a performance, or it can be called digging out a similar side to the role from his personality, and then interpreting it according to his own life experience and ideological understanding.

This is true for playing a real person, and even more so for playing a virtual person.

In 2012's "Lincoln", Daniel Day Lewis presented an amazing and exciting acting skills, which made him win the Oscar for the third time, becoming the only actor in film history to win the Best Actor three times.

Daniel Day Lewis plays Lincoln. He cannot really understand Lincoln's difficulties and struggles in making decisions, because he has not experienced that period, he has not experienced the torture of liberating slaves and confrontation between the north and the south. His growth atmosphere and life experience are even more distant from Lincoln.

Daniel can only learn a few words from historical materials, and then construct the background of that era based on his own understanding and knowledge, then think about his feelings and suffering in that position, and interpret Lincoln from his own perspective. Therefore, Daniel is playing the real Lincoln in history, but at the same time presenting the similar side of Lincoln in his personality, or using his thoughts to build a "what he thinks is Lincoln."

Robert De Niro's role as Travis in "Tax Driver (taxi.d)" is considered one of the famous classic characters in film history, and has also pushed the method-study acting to the peak.

In order to play Travis, Robert went to experience the taxi driver for two months. He actually carried passengers in the streets and alleys of New York and observed this era from the perspective of a taxi driver. Travis is a virtual character. Robert's interpretation of Travis is actually what he saw and experienced in the past two months, and then combined with Robert's outlook on life, world view, and values, he constructed the virtual character Travis.

Robert used his own experience and self-knowledge to figure out Travis' mentality, thoughts and behaviors. The ultimate appearance of Travis is a unique existence that belongs to Robert's character.

The same Travis is played by Al Pacino or Dustin Hoffman, which is definitely a different image. Although the appearance difference is part of it, the most important thing is the actor's understanding of the role, the actor's own experience, experience and thoughts will lead to the deviation of the character's personality and image.

It can be said that if a person knows the warmth and coldness of water, there are 1,000 Hamlets in a thousand readers.

Performance can be said to be a role, but it can also be said to be the part of the performance that is closest to the role in one's personality. In the final analysis, performances that start from the actor themselves, and performances that separate the actors themselves cannot be called performances at all.

For example, when Hugo first started learning acting, he just simply imitated. He could imitate the different performances of many actors, but these performances lacked charm because he could not capture the actor's psychological state during the performance. He was not the actor, so Hugo had to find out what belonged to him and what suited him from the imitation.

Therefore, the "performance" itself has the personal characteristics of an actor, even if it is just a vase role, it is no exception. Just like Megan Fox and Rosie Handington Whitley (Roman E. Mixed Ton-whiteley) also play the role of a vase in "Transformers", but the effects presented by the two are quite different. The key point is how the actor uses to express and express himself after he integrates his personal characteristics. The first half is the method of acting, and the second half is the performance of acting.

For example, the "Schindler's list" of Amon Gos struggled with his thoughts. Each actor must have different focus. Some focus on body language to display, some focus on the narration and expression of lines, while Hugo focuses on the eyes. The momentum that bursts from the inside out gives Amon's soul. This is the difference in expression. There is no correct answer, only the answer that suits you.

In the final analysis, Amon Gos is Hugo's understanding of that history. Hugo outlined the oral descriptions of those survivors and combined with his own understanding, he constructed the character Amon Gos in his mind. It can be said that this character is also part of Hugo, who is a Hugo who "believes in the background of World War II." Hugo showed the coldest and cruelest side of his personality, and thus burst out with horrifying power.

Matthew Pontsley constructed by Hugo is actually not the real Elmer Patrick Sonil, nor is it the Matthew Pontsley constructed by Tim Robbins in the script, but Matthew Pontsley constructed based on Hugo's thoughts, Hugo's experiences, and Hugo's understanding.

In essence, Matthew is a part of Hugo's personality, which belongs to darkness, cowardice, and violent side. Then Hugo combines scripts, characters, and stories to shape it, and then develops a complete personality.

However, Hugo has never realized this: roles and actors are inseparable. Hugo has always cultivated characters as an independent personality and has achieved success before, but when playing Anonymous, Hugo gradually realized that the blurred boundaries between characters and actors cannot be born out of thin air. Each character has a close connection with the actors themselves. A completely separated character is simply impossible, and it is impossible to dig out something that never exists in his personality.

Building something out of thin air is the job of a scientist, not an actor. Scientists can imagine incredible things such as rockets, planes, and phones out of thin air, but actors cannot create it out of thin air because it is unreasonable.

It’s like when George Lucas conceived the image of an alien, he must still comply with the “human rules”, because George himself is a human, not a real alien, and he has never seen an alien. All his understanding is based on existing sciences such as human anatomy and environmental theory. So even if the alien looks weird, he still complies with the human conception.
