1357 Chapter 1357

Joshua did not wipe the embarrassment on his cheeks, and the tears had stopped, but the light of water was still flashing in his eyes, and the tears that gradually lost their temperature reflected the surging deep in his heart.

The big screen had already darkened, and the milky yellow lights in the screening room gradually became brighter, but no one stood up. Everyone, including Joshua, sat in their own position, looking at the slowly rising subtitles on the big screen, silent. Maybe it was not that they didn't want to speak, but that they couldn't speak, just because the shock brought by the movie made them lose their language. More importantly, the shock brought by Hugo's performance made all languages ​​lose their ability.

Until all the lights in the screening room had already lit up, Joshua still couldn't erase Matthew's eyes, which were trembling because of fear, regret and pain, from his mind!

The perspective of "Death-infernal Affairs" is Sister Helen, but the core is death-infernal Affairs Matthew.

Unlike what Joshua thought, this is not a story about the death row prisoner cleaning up grievances and upholding justice, but rather a discussion of the extremely sensitive topic of death penalty. One is a murderous demon who has no regrets, lies and evil words, the other is a heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching victim's family, and the other is a devout nun who is sincere, kind, wise and weak. The pull and entanglement between these three parties supports the whole story.

Tim Robbins did not join his point of view. He only told the story as a bystander. He sympathized with the victims' families and showed their anger, pain and desolation to the fullest; at the same time, he truly showed the situation of the murderous demon, his family's situation, and his own situation.

There is no doubt that Matthew is a demon. Although he hesitated when he killed Walter, he still pulled the trigger. After that, he lied and refused to repent. He even made a fuss about joining a terrorist organization and admired what Shirtle did. Matthew was simply outrageous.

But behind this, Matthew's past is sympathetic. He has never really joined this society. He was unfortunate since childhood. He lost his father at the age of fourteen and worked in a poor area. His work did not receive the corresponding reward. Instead, he was a lot of black people. People rely on government relief to be idle. He divorced his wife, and his ex-wife even reported him. He was first considered an alien or a rebellious person, and later he was considered a murderer, a beast or a demon. His mother was weak and powerless and could not support this family at all... It is such a person who is constantly excluded by society. He never had the opportunity to be recognized by society, even if there was no trace of warmth. How could such a person look at society with an equal attitude?

So he had no feelings for the government, so he spoke out loud, was full of vigilance, and was covered in stings. So after he killed Walter, Carl, who did not repent without repentance, was just imprisoned for life... The indifference and injustice of society made him have nowhere to be punished.

Of course, there are many people who have a similar life to Matthew, but it is still unforgivable to choose to commit a crime, let alone cruelly killing the living life. But it makes people involuntarily think that if someone had ever given Matthew a ray of warmth, even if he was just a person, he would not have embarked on this path of no return?

Matthew's mentality conflicts, entanglements and conflicts were completely displayed in front of every audience in Hugo's performance, without even needing lines. Just a look of avoidance, a trembling cigarette lighting action, and a sob that endured tears leaked Matthew's tormented heart. And the process of Matthew's transformation bit by bit under Helen's influence made people involuntarily moved.

Love, this is an extremely powerful energy. Helen used her selfless love to wake up Matthew.

So, when the movie ended, Matthew's repentance was so impactful that he was just a victim. When Matthew admitted that he was the victim, the deep sorrow and shock almost made every audience cry. Therefore, before the execution, Matthew's last words were so shocking that killing was wrong. Whether it was him, others or the government, this was killing a living life. No one deserved such a result. Matthew chose or was forced to use his life to repay the other two lives. This is not an equal transaction. He just hopes that the families of the two victims can be calmed down.

Hugo's performance was so calm, so simple, so calm, but the reaction it caused was swallowing all the audience like a tsunami. The moving eyes were deeply imprinted in the minds of every audience. When the tears fell, the emotions were so mixed, not sympathy, not sadness, not pain, not excitement, not happiness, just simple tears, the surging in the mind was so complicated, and every trace of emotion was turned upside down under the influence of Hugo's performance.

Epic acting! Hugo almost relies on the power of a person, and uses his delicate and real performance to fully demonstrate the conflict and struggle in Matthew's heart, and even more, the fear, hesitation and confusion of Matthew getting closer to death step by step. This also directly interprets the core idea of ​​the entire movie about exploring the death penalty to the extreme, allowing a seemingly simple and straightforward movie to burst out with a soul-stirring grandeur, and the depth condensed in Hugo's amber eyes to make the afterglow of the movie unable to dissipate for a long time.

In fact, Matthew's situation is also a microcosm of society to a large extent. Although the focus of "Death Prison Walking" is not the culprit that has created Matthew, but whether the execution of the murderer is a kind of "kill", Hugo's performance has raised the whole movie to a height, reaching a new level, and making the tsunami of thoughts in his mind unable to calm down for a long time.

The discussion on social indifference has been discussed in depth in the "Seven Deadly Sins", but the entire atmosphere of "Seven Deadly Sins" has a more religious atmosphere, and there is too little time left for the Anonymous. David Fincher focuses more on the sense of reincarnation and fate that can be realized by the seven Deadly Sins. This time, "Death-in-Live" gave Hugo enough room to play, and relies on Hugo's outstanding performance to sublimate this issue.

There are too many tragedies that happen in life, but many times these tragedies are caused by the social system. Although we cannot ignore the executioner's blood, the law still needs to uphold justice. However, behind justice, when we condemn the executioner's cruelty and cold blood, we cannot ignore the corruption and loopholes in society.

"Death-infernal Walking" is outrageous in terms of description of Matthew, and it only reveals some information through Matthew's words. However, Matthew's image appears extremely clearly in the minds of every audience. Not only the present, but also the pain of the past, the bitterness of the heart, and the struggle of thoughts. It can even make people see the marks left by social indifference on him that will never be erased for life, and the marks that accompany him into the grave.

All this is just because of Hugo's performance. It is hard to imagine that Hugo's seemingly ordinary performance created such a grand storm in everyone's heart, allowing the "Death Prisoner Walk" not only to deeply explore the death penalty, but also to make people face the problems of the vulnerable groups in society again. The two complex problems were perfectly combined, creating this work that triggered an ideological storm. The heart-warming in my mind could not be calmed down for a long time.

It turns out that this is the power of performance! This is epic acting!

Until this moment, the shock in my mind that had been unable to calm down for a long time made Joshua truly understand what happened to Hugo. Although Joshua didn't know how Hugo overcame difficulties and how he did it, he knew that the performance Hugo had dedicated in "Death-in-law Walk" was definitely one of the best in history. The eyes that could make the soul tremble finally made Joshua know why Hugo was schizophrenia during the filming of this work.

Thinking of this, Joshua felt an indescribable admiration in his heart. He knew that "Death-in-law Walk" was a good movie, but compared to the movie, he was respectful of Hugo's dedication and talent. He had to stand up and applaud and express his admiration for Hugo with such actions.

Recalling the resistance on August 5, Joshua burst into unprecedented pride. This was the real Hugo, the Hugo he had longed for. So Joshua did this, and he stood up and patted his hands hard.

Joshua's actions made everyone in the screening room look surprised. In fact, most of the first group of Joshua's cinemas were Hugo's loyal fans, but they had to admit that the movie "Death-Battle Walk" was too heavy, and it was more of a silence. The thoughts in my mind kept surging and unable to find a catharsis. It was not the kind of work that made people so excited that they stood up and ovated with speech. Joshua's actions looked too alternative.

But in the surprised sight of countless people, Yoshua stood stubbornly, applauding the constantly sliding subtitles, and staring at the big screen motionlessly, as if Matthew's tears before his death were right in front of him.

One after another, several people seemed to have understood Joshua's intentions, and they stood up and applauded. But these were a few after all, and less than ten people stood alone at the scene, slapped their hands hard, giving applause to Hugo for the "death prisoner walk" and giving applause.

More viewers slowly left the screening hall with hesitation, thinking, and silent expression. The real excitement of a movie like "Death Prisoner Walk" only starts after the end of the movie. The reflection storm it sets in people's minds is the key to the film's achievements.
