In "1942", the Oscar-winning actor Adrian Browdy, who played Bai Xiude, said: "Bai Xiude is great, and Chinese filmmakers are also great, and they can bravely tell that story." ”
After participating in "1942", Browdy modestly used the word "honor" to describe his feelings, and the role is not important, only because the film restores that period of history very realistically.
Brody seems to have an indissoluble relationship with the 1940s, and his masterpieces "The Thin Red Line" and "The Pianist" are all character stories of the 1940s. And the 1940s was a sad time for all of humanity, a constant reminder of how fragile we are.
When he first came into contact with the script, Brody only had a very superficial understanding of this period of Chinese history, but this is the interesting part of making movies, and he learned a lot in the process of filming.
Before filming, Brody did a lot of homework about Beauschud. When it came to the crew, Brody carried a notebook with him, writing down the director's requirements and his own feelings at any time. It's a habit he developed specifically for the play, to help him get into the role. Journalists have always been observers, and notes are a very good method.
He will also add his own opinions to the actors, but every adjustment will be discussed with the director, for example, Bai Xiude will say some Chinese "Donkey to you, camera, can not eat", which is also the result of consultation.
For the story in Nineteen Forty-Two, Brody believes that human nature can be sublimated in such a dark and painful time. "Actually, it's a very positive film, and it's not so depressing, because that's what history is."
Perhaps because of identity, or because he acted in too many 1940s films, Brody's view of the film is different from that of many domestic audiences.
Depression is indeed the main tone of the whole film, and the sense of humor in Feng Xiaogang's bones cannot tick off its viscosity.
When we re-establish that period of history through the film, the repressed feelings gradually become more than nothing apologies, but as Browdy said, what we should do should learn from history and not let history repeat itself.
