"Don't tell me this shit!"

"Nothing will happen to you."

"No? Of course!"

"You are a great hero. With your reputation, he doesn't dare to lay a finger on you."

"The problem lies in my reputation. Do you think that after you kill a few drug dealers, **** Fede will take you seriously? Do you think that this will make them shine? They want to catch big fish,

Trying to catch me through you."

"But you're innocent, Will."

"Yes, I am a good police officer, but they can always find a way to attack you. Think about the cases I have handled, all the cases I have handled, and think about the gangsters on the street."

"Nonsense, you have no clue for them to catch you."

"Where's DuBose?"

"This is different."

"Is this different?"

"****Feed doesn't want to talk about letting that kind of scum out."

"This is a chain reaction, and once it starts, it can't be stopped."

"I want to give it a try, man, I have to support my family. Wolffield promised me that there won't be too many penalties and it can be slowed down."

"We are the police. This is not only our business, but also all the people who rely on us. They also have families! I have been a good policeman all my life. Why did you destroy it so easily? Just to make that bastard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs...

The police chief? Or to play golf with him or the mayor or anyone else who wants to curry favor?"

"Finished? Sorry, I have to compromise."

Frankly speaking, this rivalry scene is very exciting. Although it cannot be said to be exciting enough to be included in the textbook, both Sean and Pacino fully expressed the emotions of the characters, making the entire conflict invisible.

The key to the conflict in the restaurant is what is hidden, at least according to the script.

The plot is not complicated. The male protagonist Will, played by Pacino, is a shrewd and capable police officer, and his partner Hap, played by Sean, are ordered to investigate the murder of a 17-year-old girl in a remote town in Alaska. After interacting with the local police

After making contact, the two came to stay at the hotel and had dinner in the restaurant. By the way, they talked about what happened before they came, which was the reason why they came to Alaska.

The old policeman Will is a good man and a hateful policeman. He is very famous and well-known in the local area. But this time, when he was chasing a pedophile, he made a mistake. Everyone knew that it was the pedophile.

He did it, but there was no evidence to convict him, so in anger and out of a sense of justice in his heart, Will forged evidence and arrested the pedophile.

Unexpectedly, the other party's lawyer was a cunning person. Although there was no definite evidence that Will had forged evidence, he took advantage of the loopholes and made a big fuss, which alarmed many people, so the police station began an internal investigation. As a threat,

Hap, your long-time partner, was naturally called

To question or intimidate Will, and Harp needed to support his family, so he had to make a deal with officials sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There were also many people in the police station who sympathized with Will, so the chief would use the Alaska murder case to threaten Will.

Er and Hapu were sent over to let them stay away from all this for a while.

Then, when the two were preparing to have a meal in the restaurant, they got into an argument about this topic. As an old partner and for more considerations, Will was very dissatisfied with Harp's compromise. American laws are sometimes very weird, such as

There is almost no such thing as vindication, because if a prosecutor

If a prosecutor or a police officer is sued for mishandling a case, and is eventually overturned by the other party, countless lawyers will come forward to question all the cases he has handled, and then gather a group of people to investigate.

, and then continue to sue to seek compensation from the government.

This results in many cases that have been confirmed to be unjust, but prosecutors and police will not admit that there are problems with the case, and will still prosecute, using various methods to put pressure on the victim or the court, and to mislead the media and juries.

team to turn the case into a solid case. Even if the prosecution is eventually withdrawn, it is mostly due to insufficient evidence, not because the police and prosecutors were wrong.

In short, if you are not a powerful person, if you cannot afford a high-priced lawyer and team, once you are wrongly accused in a very bad case, you can hope to get it out in the media, and then start a massacre and wait for amnesty, but the crime

It will still stay on your head forever. Although this system has encouraged the judicial organs to handle cases indiscriminately, it has also given many criminals and unscrupulous lawyers an opportunity to take advantage of them. Therefore, in the movie, the old policeman Will, who is dedicated to fighting for justice,

That would make you extremely unwilling.

Here, Sean needs to show restrained helplessness as much as possible, and Pacino also needs to show restrained dissatisfaction and even anger as much as possible. After all, the two have been partners for many years, and they are both aware of the problems faced by each other, but they both

Unable to retreat, thus paving the way for the subsequent story. This apparent calmness

, the plot below is full of contradictions and undercurrents, which is a test of the actor's skills. The calmness on the surface is destined to not be used much for body language that can give people rich emotional feelings, but the contradictions and undercurrents below must be passed through.

It is very difficult to show the subtle changes in tone and expression.

In the eyes of the crew, Pacino has no difficulty in doing this. This outstanding actor who played the "Godfather" trilogy should have won the Best Actor long ago, but it was not until the early 1990s that he received the honor he deserved.

It is not difficult to achieve this. And the facts have proved that their view is indeed correct, and Pacino really got it right.

For example, when he said "no need" and "nothing has changed" at the beginning, his nonchalant tone and frowned brows easily showed the character's dissatisfaction. But when Sean said "I have to compromise"

"After the line, a quick "Don't talk nonsense" and a wandering look in his eyes immediately raised the atmosphere to a higher level.

As for the rush and pleading of "They want to catch a big fish, they want to catch me through you" and the suppressed anger and ridicule of "We are the police" at the end, not to mention, as a movie star-level actor, that is easy to grasp.

Basically, the direction of the entire scene is in his hands.

But the very young Sean could basically keep up with Pacino's rhythm, which surprised many crew members. In fact, Sean surprised them just after putting on makeup.

You know, Westerners generally look more mature. Even if Sean is half of Chinese descent, this is still the case. However, there are still very few young actors who try to play mature roles, because temperament and momentum cannot be learned.

That requires experience and social training. No matter how hard the lines on the face are drawn, no matter how smooth the hair is combed back, no matter how thick the beard is, as long as you sit there, you will feel green and astringent.

Nothing can stop it.

But this characteristic is not found in Sean at all. When he came out after putting on makeup and got into position to take pictures, his mature temperament was no different from that of a person in his thirties or forties, which made many people -

— including Pacino — it was a complete surprise.

There was even a stage manager who didn't understand the situation. He walked over to him very funny and said, "You can't sit here, sir, we have to make a movie."

Later, his performance surprised them even more. Although Pacino controlled the rhythm and rushed forward within the range drawn by director Christopher, he always followed closely and was not left behind.

In the first two sentences, he didn't express it too obviously, but when he said "I have to compromise" for the first time, the small movement of pursing his lips and the look of retracting the half-finished gesture will reflect Will's guilt and

His helplessness towards himself was clearly expressed.

Then for the sentence "You are a great hero", he said it very slowly, word by word, very clearly. He used this little technique to match Pacino's sentence "Don't tell me these bullshit" to highlight the character.

The uneasiness in my heart that I try my best to get the other person’s forgiveness.

And the sentence "Finished? Sorry, I have to compromise" is even more annoying at first and then helpless. The smooth change of tone reveals the character's complex personality.

What an amazing young man.

However, the crew thinks it's good, but the director may not necessarily think it's good either.

"What do you think of each other's performances?" Christopher asked the two actors in front of him while standing next to the dining table. "Let's talk about it. Sometimes it is good to exchange opinions on each other."

Sean and Pacino looked at each other, and then Sean made a gesture of invitation, so Pacino spoke first: "Sean's little moves are a bit many, although they can largely supplement the performance.

But too much will have the opposite effect, and it will make people feel a little too helpless."

"Al can restrain his intense emotions a little more and express them through part of his body language instead of using his tone and expression. The rest is perfect." Sean said it more tactfully. Anyway, Pa

Sino is an actor who has been famous for a long time, but he still pointed out in a roundabout way that there was nothing wrong with his little actions.

Pacino smiled and didn't pay attention to what Sean said. He just looked at Christopher, wondering what he would say.

But Christopher wasn't talking. He just lowered his head and pinched his chin, thinking about things intently. Basically, from the start of filming to now, he didn't say much. He just stood by the camera and watched Sean and Pacino perform, and stopped.

He did not explain the reason later, but just shot this scene repeatedly. So far, he has shot it seven or eight times, sometimes in bits and pieces, sometimes in one shot. This is the first time that Christopher has asked the two

The actor's perspective.

"To be honest," he finally spoke after a moment, "I don't have anything to say at this time. Your performances are all excellent. Al won't talk about it. After working together for so many days, we are already very familiar with each other. But Xiao

Well, you gave me a surprise. Frankly speaking, before today, I still had doubts about you, but your performance told me that I was wrong. Although you are young, you are indeed a very good actor, so...
