Heroes who escaped from prison

"It sounds strange. They asked me to prove what I said, because an actor would talk nonsense to get a role. So strictly speaking, I have to take out my family photo album and a photo of my ancestors, starting with grandpa's uncle's generation. I stood in front of the copier, looking at these faces and thinking about what my family had gone through. It suddenly occurred to me, my god-are these all born for my role? The answer is no, but to some extent, yes. It seems that it is the right time, place and people. When winter came back, they said, it's you. I immediately hugged everyone in the house. I went out of the office and went to Paramount Company, where I had worked as a temporary worker for five years. I think this is a precious moment, and my heart is full of gratitude. I called my mother. "

"I am very proud because I can show my family this story that they are eager to read-not only because I am in this movie, but also because it involves a very important part of our lives."

When auditioning and preparing for the role, he once again thought about the past and who he really was. The Stain of Human Nature is a film that can make me think and question how to know others and myself, and question the foundation of my life and belief more deeply.

Coleman silk attracted him because he thought Coleman was smart and ambitious. But in the United States in the 1940s, he was completely defined as black by the surrounding environment, which restricted him like a prison. He decided to break out of the cocoon, which was brave, arrogant and even ultimately devastating, because he was trapped in the prison he built. If you change your identity to white, you can start a life that is not allowed to be too intimate, because he can't be completely honest with his lover. Fear is everywhere in life, because every time he walks into a room, someone may recognize his true identity. "

In the process of preparation, it is important to feel that "as an actor, my job is not to condemn or forgive my role." This has not taken into account his complications. (I don't understand, I don't even know where he came from) Coleman is trapped by the definition of his environment, which suffocates him, so he needs to find freedom. This is something that anyone will participate in. This makes the film transcend race. "

He received boxing training to play the young Coleman. At that time, as a light-skinned black man, Coleman had not denied his race and pretended to be Jewish. Young Coleman once took boxing as a hobby. "This is a very intense sport, and my coach worked with Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. in the hurricane. The training lasted for three months, five days a week, four to five hours a day. After that, there was a month of choreography rehearsal. Four months of preparation, 12 hours of shooting, finally turned into a 30-second clip.

Thirdly, the previous physical training and performance experience provided convenience for this role. However, I can't prepare how to grasp the role of Anthony Hopkins in the elderly. "There is a lot of pressure. This is an honor, but I also have a question' how can I do it well?' This man is a legend, and I have always been a huge fan of him. I feel like a freshman in this place If I want to get a position, I must make my acting as good as Mr Tony's. There is no other way. I rented every movie that Anthony Hopkins played and stole the teacher's. "

When Winter finished filming The Stain of Human Nature, memories of Kornel West flooded in. He wrote an apology letter to Cornell West, telling him about his role in The Stain of Human Nature. But there was no reply. Back at work, the producer felt that he should participate in the promotion of the film. He and his co-stars will attend premieres in many American states (such as Chicago, Denver and new york) and some European cities (such as London and Venice). Good luck. Anna Devry, who plays his mother, is friends with Cornell West, who attended the new york premiere. "The first thing he did was give me a big hug, which means a lot to me."

Seeing himself on the screen, he had mixed feelings and painful memories reappeared. "When I first saw this film at the Venice Film Festival, I thought it was embarrassing-not all bad feelings, but I thought you showed a very personal thing there-something that just happened between Jacinda Barrett and me, or something that still made me feel very painful in my life. Suddenly, everyone came to talk to me about it, about things I had never told them before. For me, these things are still very personal, and I am constantly struggling and compromising every day. I don't know who they are, but they know me-I don't know what rules they follow, which is terrible. "

Although he has ups and downs, he must continue to promote the film. He took several photos, was interviewed alone and held a press conference with other actors. Critics are puzzled and curious about why a young white man should play a very light-skinned black man. Winter must reiterate his identity over and over again so as not to be regarded as white by others. Ironically, the novelist Tony Morrison, who participated in the struggle against Gott in Princeton, was once again taken out. "There is a wise saying in Tony Morrison's novel. I like "definition belongs to the defined, not the defined." I must constantly define myself so as not to be defined by others. "

He was also asked about racism and racial definitions in the United States. "As a descendant of blacks and African-Americans, I have always had doubts about the hyphen in the middle. I don't want to be African American, Chinese American or Irish American. My family has lived in this country for generations. Why can't I call myself an American? " He revealed that he has dual nationality and holds British and American passports. In a word, he thinks he is "America first, last and forever."

Experience of racial discrimination. "This kind of thing is not new. Maybe standing with a group of white friends, some people may say things that they wouldn't say at my party. It hurts. Someone calling you a nigger is like being stabbed. Every time this happens, it's like adding a small scar, but too many scars are no different from bleeding to death. Every time this happens, you are faced with a dilemma: should I stop the party? Ideally, you should do this every time. But I have better things to do than educate others-as long as this is only on a case-by-case basis, although the scars have increased a lot. "

His views on passing the ball. "Obviously, passing the ball is not something that has always bothered me-it has never appeared in my radar range, because I am very lucky to be born in an era that can make me proud of myself. But as a hybrid, I met a series of different challenges. These challenges are not more difficult than being this person or that person, just different. For example, I've never really experienced a' shutdown' caused by a racial stick. I like to express it this way-I've never been asked to pay before eating, or I've never been asked to park my car on the side of the road because I drove in the wrong place at the wrong time at night. So, I am very lucky. "

A very sad episode with a reporter made the reality of racial discrimination and the great harm of words very clear. "I was talking to a reporter in new york, and he said,' Well, you are a mongrel dog.' I told him, "You know, I think the word' mongrel dog' offends me." He started cheating. I am also a mongrel dog. I'm a German-Irish hybrid. "That means you are white," I told him. But thank you for your entertainment. "

Weiqi has some mixed-race audiences. "Many of them are very happy because they see people representing themselves appear on the screen."

For the most powerful competitor in performance, Winter's answer is josh hartnett. What do you think of your future career? "Very calm, if I have to wait for a role to clarify myself, it will definitely wait for a long time. I really want to be like Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. (he tried some scripts of white actors), or like Jodie Foster (she reads actors' scripts). I told my agent that I can play the role of any race, and if race is not a big problem in the movie, I can also play the role arranged for white people. If race is important in movies, it is also important for actors. If you want to shoot an Eskimo version of Romeo and Juliet, I can't wait to see it. But if it's gone with the wind, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome.

Just as go played the dinosaur empire for the first time and worked as an intern in the same network, there are many such coincidences in his life. Many years later, I met Cornel West again, solved their problems and became the development director-the position I once worked in. "At film festivals, people always come up to me and ask me,' Aren't you the guy who stood by with the copier?' Now I am the focus, everyone chats with me and laughs when I tell jokes. I thought,' You know I served coffee to people like you for six years', so I knew what I could actually do, because I saw the other side. Winter's advice to directors is to be friendly to the lower classes, because they don't know when someone will step on their heads.

During the publicity, everyone's comments were very touching. Almost all critics praised him for his "breakthrough performance" and believed in the nomination for best supporting actor in the Oscar. I was very excited to go, and the movie schedule just met the Oscar nomination. This work is breathtaking.

There's nothing.

There is no single nomination. Critics think it is inappropriate for Anthony Hopkins to play a very light-skinned black man, and it is unacceptable for Nicole Kidman to play a vulgar cleaner. The college seems to think so, too much like the dinosaur empire, and it didn't get the breakthrough he expected.

From 2003 to the end of 2004, I went out of work and ate a cup of noodles (back to a pot of noodles, I don't know what the profound meaning is? ) status. During this time, while thinking about what happened, he worked for William Fennes in body double (standing in it, I don't know if it is appropriate to translate it into body double ...). In the 25th Putnam Spelling Competition, this program let the children compete with each other to decide who has a big vocabulary. This is not only a struggle between adults about titles, but also a struggle about memories of parents' pressure (doing their best). This time, Winter's English degree and his love of scrabble helped him.

From 2003 to 2004, when looking for a job, he learned a lot of valuable things, and his attitude towards life changed accordingly. "I was told that the stain of human nature can make others admit that I am an actor, and this movie really opened a door for me; When I walked in, I suddenly found myself competing with those who were on the cover of the magazine. Fighting in Hollywood is more like a name game. The trend now is to let leaders and pizza delivery children know about your movies. This may be an extremely frustrating experience, but in the end you still have to do it for yourself. "

So he did it. He took more photos with famous photographers, put himself on the cover of magazines and appeared in the Christmas specials of fashion magazines L'uomo Vogue, Abercrombie and Fitch.

The change of attitude is also reflected in the audition. "Recently, I gradually realized that a big mistake in the audition was that you walked into that room as if you were a guest, and you were careful not to spill wine on the carpet. In fact, all you have to do is walk in confidently, like a master. "

"I realized that the difference between most actors and Anthony Hopkins is that they don't choose their roles. After reading the script, I know what kind of person this role will be, how interesting it will be to perform, what kind of clothes it will have, how to walk, how to eat, how to talk … There is nothing better than this. Most actors make all choices for their roles-or as many choices as possible-but they do it with a question mark. When they auditioned, the subtext was:' Is this ok?' Do you like me? "Does this work?" These finally defeated them. And Anthony Hopkins, when he makes a decision, will be followed by a period, or even an exclamation point. This change in concept is very important and has helped me in many auditions. "

He also observed and analyzed the transportation system in Hollywood and concluded that "it is easy to become a new generation of Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks here. People know how to look at you and they will say,' Ah, young Tom Hanks.' This system works well, and it will be better this time. Realizing that he was different, he plotted to find his place. "Not taking the paved road means that you have to create something you didn't have before. "

These changes in attitude ensured his work. In 2004, he began to work on a short film called The Hours, which took place in a prison and was directed by an Englishman, Ash. This is another surprise, because he will be called to audition for Prison Break in a few months. "When I walked into the studio, I worked as a temporary worker in one third of the rooms here," he said. "There were about 30 directors sitting there, and some of them recognized me because of the copier."

The copier made him famous among TV directors. I met them when I went to the audition, and he claimed that he was famous for his copier.

Winter recalled the audition process and he soon got into the role. Get the script on Friday, audition on Monday, and get the role on Tuesday. He doesn't have much time to worry because he has to go back to work directly. In the last group of actors interviewed on the Internet, they are very close to the finish line.

Winter was attracted by michael scofield in Prison Break because he was smart, cruel and charming. "I'm sure he will have a moment of doubt-'what kind of situation am I involved in?' Neither his mind nor his degree can guarantee that he will not end in tragedy. But he is a good man with noble reasons, which will definitely make him get his hands dirty. "

This is not only a wonderful performance, but also a story about family: how far can we go to save the people we love? For Michael, he walked into prison. In this great TV series, we have done a lot of in-depth research on the family and learned what commitment and obligation mean … what it means to be a man (person).

The theme of family and imprisonment once again appeared in his choice, but this time imprisonment is literal, and in the stain of human nature is spirit and soul. In Prison Break, he plays a white man caught between a white man and a black man. When there is a racial riot, he must choose which side to take. But he didn't, so people on both sides hated him. Does that sound familiar?

Considering his policy of choosing roles and whether race is important in the story, Prison Break represents his personal dilemma. In the play, he plays a white man who has to choose which side to take in the racial riots. Thanks to good luck and character design, Winter's role remained neutral, so he was not involved in any racial prejudice or violence.

From the end of 1 1, they started shooting the pilot set for the directors. The fate of this play depends on the strength of pilot. After filming "Pilot Collection", Mariah Carey invited Brett Ratner to record MVs for her new songs "Just Like That" and "We Belong Together", and he decided to use "Go" to improve his popularity. This is very effective, once again let his name spread widely.

Many people ask who is "that good-looking guy" on the Internet and start searching for more information about him. They are not sure who he really is, and often confuse him with Hayden Christensen or channing tatum. The issue of race has been raised again. Netizens noticed that Winter and Mariah Carey are both half-blood. They want to know if this is the reason why Winter was chosen.

Good luck is coming again. Winter will play Ryan Hunt in the last two episodes of Joan of Arc in Arcadia, a typical evil character who can talk to God like Joan of Arc. Maybe it was providence that he participated in the performance in do or die. It's like he's becoming popular. He appeared in the last season before he was canceled.

His appearances in mv and Joan of Arc in Acadia greatly increased his popularity. When Prison Break finally came from the Internet, many people were looking for his information and paying attention to his new work. When the production company was in a hurry to determine the location and prepare for the pre-production, got dubbed a film called stealth. He called it EDI, an artificial intelligence system implanted with unmanned secret bombers. Eddie went bad when the bomber was struck by lightning. In the process of preparation, Space Odyssey 200 1 (HAL) inspired Venter. "I really want to be compared with the best dubbing work ever, especially the part about the computer going bad." He also filmed a pilot program for Ghost Whisperer. He played police officer paul adams, and the psychic helped him contact his family.

With the increasing exposure, he left Los Angeles and rented a house in Chicago Millennium Park, which is close to where he recorded Prison Break.

Pb's publicity process is really slow to death, but when it was really completed, Pb also became popular with a series of promotional videos, TV and online advertisements. Go has once again become the focus of public attention, but this time he is the protagonist of the play. At the press conference, he was asked about the background and role of the play and his role in Joan of Arc in Acadia. He feels that it is a strange poetry to complete the transformation from a typical demon character to a ghost in the same network at the same time. Before auditioning for Joan, he told the producer that if he starred in Prison Break, he couldn't go back to his previous role. Producers don't care. They seem to be planning bigger things. Winter thinks that Joan's cancellation is unfortunate and he can't be responsible for it.

Slightly different from human stain's interview, journalists are now more concerned with personal issues, such as whether they are single or not. He said that he is currently single (August 2005), "I want to find a down-to-earth person. The ideal girlfriend may work in a company and understand your career, but she is not an actress-when you are acting crazily, she can give up her career and treat you as herself, showing great tolerance.

They also asked him about his personality, and he said he was "a slow person". I go to the library, read a lot of books and eat at the subway station. When I need some boxers, I go to Gap. To be exact, five of the seven days in a week are not free. When he has time, he will be "very old-fashioned, writing some short stories and plays." Or have dinner with friends. Asked if he would consider acting in comedy in the future, he said he was not an interesting person. If others think so, he can only say that he didn't mean it.

On August 29th, 2005, when the first two episodes of pb were broadcast on Fox, he was soaring. Critics-a large part of them-sang praises and said that he was very suitable for this role, which would be a major breakthrough that he had long deserved. The ratings are very high, which is the highest since 1998. At the same time, critics began to quietly turn their attention to his dubbing work. Some critics criticized his performance, but when they compared the voice of go with the voice of Space odessy 2006 54 38+0, almost no one criticized him. This is just another form of praise, because went's goal is to imitate the space odyssey.

Back to Pb-the number of fans is increasing day by day, and the love for him is also increasing day by day. They want to know where he lives, whether he has a girlfriend and where he works. They also want to follow him quietly. Some people have already started to act, and others have successfully met him. They think he is cute, sexy, shy and polite. Others live too far away from him and have no courage to search for his footprints, so they have to fantasize about marrying him and having children for him. On Fox's official BBS, the battle of goodwill has begun, and the woman who wants to date him says, "Give him up, bitch, he's mine." On gay's forum, Gays are also speculating whether it is possible to develop with him. Turned gay.

Everything about him seems to be getting hotter and hotter, but will it be a late breakthrough that he is striving for? It remains to be verified, and at the same time, go remains objective about the media's enthusiasm for the play. Having suffered from media losses before, he is now skeptical about the operation of the whole media. In fact, he is glad that he can "hide in joliet illionois" and stay away from the media. He is soberly aware that they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to this plan, but it is not up to them to decide when the TV series will be released, what kind of people they will face, or whether they can bother the mayor of the United States to pay attention to this TV series. So he will go all out for this plan, but he will not participate in it.

It's hard to ignore those questions and criticisms, such as the length of this TV series. Go also noticed this at the press conference. He thinks that when people see the title of the film, they should assume that it is a drama about two people escaping from prison. How many episodes will you shoot? I'm a little angry with this mentality. He thinks that the producers have thought about the whole story of pb and will shoot the second season.

Another question that most viewers and critics question is the credibility of this TV series. Just like The Stain of Human Nature, the credibility of characters and stories is once again in question. The main question is, can pb stand from the perspective of faith/credibility? Can you keep the audience pious enough to follow the protagonist's journey? As Winter himself, Winter can ensure that a lot of men and women pay attention to this TV series, and whether they like the story or not, they just stare at "beauty". But can this guarantee that pb will last?

This has yet to be proved. So far, pb is still very popular, and many people think it is a great and unique TV series. So now there is a 70/30 chance that at least the first 13 episodes can be broadcast smoothly.

As an admirer of Winter, I hope that this matter-like The Stain of Human Nature-will not deprive him of the recognition he deserves and the Emmy nomination next year.

Can he finally break through, win honor, and be satisfied with just performing? Yes, he may like an award, which is normal. Tell me an actor who has no Oscar fantasy, and I will tell you that he is a liar. Even if he didn't win any awards, performance was a very important event in his life. "You must love what you do, and you must need it as much as you need air. Nothing can give me satisfaction like performance. I think I can't live without performance. The road under my feet has never changed. It always took me where I wanted to go, and I never regretted it for a second. There is nothing better than this. " -End-
