This awards season belongs to Adam The Old Driver (though the Oscars ultimately didn't favor him). In the past year, he has starred in four films, Zombie Undead, Torture Report, Marriage Story, and Star Wars ix: The Rise of Skywalker, either sad or happy, funny or serious, or popcorn or literary fan.
Just listening to this description, it seems that he is IKEA, versatile, on the festival, down to the premiere.
But no, we're going to tell you the truth today: Adam Dreifer, it's not right to put it anywhere.
On the Internet, in the so-called "little mother literature", adam Draper's beauty is being enthusiastically praised. Although, in the eyes of others, this gang is simply incomprehensible.
Oh my God, how come mortals always love to talk about this senseless hue? noisy. He had said that there were many strange descriptions of my face, but my face was just my face.
Flipping through foreign media reports about Dreyver is like mistakenly entering a portrait depiction essay contest.
So much so that it has been said, "The attempted exploration of Dreifer's appearance is enough to establish a literary genre." ”
Pick a few examples:
"Long nose, full lips, like freckles and moles painted in a stroke." This is also a very restrained white painting.
"Kind of like Mr. Potatohead." It's about the top hat moustache in [Toy Story], which is described as quite poisonous.
"Completely different from the perfect male protagonist carved out of a mold, it is a new sexy symbol of the millennium." It doesn't look like it, but it's a sincere compliment.
He starred in the episode "City Girl" and said of him and another character: "We both look a little weird. ”
Or this play, describing him as a "criminal in the old times".
This "criminal" may be the arsonist of the heart – the love of the fans, which has made him change from a marginal role in the show to a resident main role.
And he himself used only four words (or one English word), fierce and crisp: like a ratlike.
He had an unusual face that caused the two debaters to argue endlessly.
Those who do not eat this mouthful, stare at the person who loves him to hysteria with the eyes of the grandfather looking at the mobile phone, and wonder how much difference the structure of the human eye can be. And those who are hysterical, have long been black-eyed, do not say anything into the ears, "oops, is the feeling of heartbeat."
Social conventions require us to avoid over-commenting on a person's appearance. But there are still so many people, who can't help but follow the previous servants, searching the dry intestines to test their vocabulary, to see if they can complete the task of depicting Dreifer's appearance.
Because you are easily attracted to his special appearance, the cheesy description does not match him, but the eccentric description is like blackening him.
Hell, the bottom of my heart clearly issued a "mother I love him" cry, my mouth can not keep up with my heart, the heart is confused, overwhelmed, almost love. This is really a challenge that arouses people's desire to win or lose.
Another reason is that depicting Dreifer's appearance is already a simple task compared to depicting any other aspect of him.
If you think Dreifer's looks are the most elusive thing in the world, it may be because you haven't figured out his temperament, behavior, or personality.
His Juilliard school classmates should have elusively, but most likely failed.
Don't blame them, who knows, a breakfast to eat six eggs, lunch to eat a whole chicken, cold to perform 1,000 push-ups, what is the real thought?
If you think that Dreif's facial features are fighting together, it may be that you have not seriously tasted, this big man of one meter eight or nine, even if the pestle is not moving there, it is like being in a state of fighting with reality, as if he and everything around him has a huge friction, the contact surface can make a squeaking noise, and even the air can be pulled open.
It is not right to put such a public figure as Adam The Old Driver on the public screening occasion when he starred in the film.
That is, recently, he really pulled the air apart.
It was in an interview on National Public Radio, and the host told him that he would play "Beingalive", which he sang in [Marriage Story], which was the long, helpless, awkward song near the end of the film.
But Dreifer felt no, expressed displeasure, and walked out of the interview room.
The program team already knew his behavior quirks: he couldn't relive what he had acted.
So, the staff told him that if you can't stand it, take off your headphones and stop. But he did not give any steps and left the table directly.
A humanoid gap was drawn in the air, and there was more silence on the faces. This move caused the audience to be puzzled, and some people attacked him on social networks: if you can't stand it, you may not be suitable for being an actor!
But Dreifer's fear of seeing and hearing his own performances may have far exceeded these people's imagination.
This degree may not even have been expected when he first debuted.
He is well known to American audiences for his performance in City Girl. But starting with the pilot episode of the series, he decided not to watch his performances anymore.
Because when he saw himself on the computer of director, writer and actress Lena Dunham, he was uncomfortable.
Not everyone, like Sharon Tate in [Once Upon a Time in Hollywood], can calmly walk to the cinema and tell people: I starred in this movie; I can enjoy my own performance, and even enjoy the pleasure of secretly observing the audience's reaction.
Meryl Streep watched her own movies at most;
Johnny Depp said that he didn't like to look at himself like this, and kept his distance from it after the movie was made;
Julianne Moore has claimed that she has not seen any of the films she has starred in.
Dreifer is undoubtedly one of the most serious symptoms.
At the premiere of [Star Wars vii: The Force Awakens], the contract forced him to sit in the theater. Soon, he began to feel waves in his stomach.
The opening camera special effects subtitles began, the theme song sounded, and from this moment on, the audience was in a commotion, and he was sure that he was going to throw up.
He grabbed his wife by his side, his hands as cold as the winged Kylo Ren of his previous life.
This may be the only time he's seen his own films from start to finish.
Usually, he would hide and not look. Because his surname is Dreifer (driver), Chinese fans gave him the nickname "Old Driver", but when he faced his performance, he did not drift like an old driver, and was comfortable with everything, but like driving a car, a cigarette ran away.
In that interview with the National Public Radio, he was afraid that he had "fled" in such a desert.
The verbs people used to describe the accident of this interview were very deliberate, "going out" or "leaving", and in this flat back, no one could figure out what the expression on Dreifer's face was.
But what if it's not a public figure? What if ordinary people openly face such expressions of emotion?
Imagine a situation where the article you just wrote was "recited with emotion" by someone else, or worse, if you just wrote a love letter and was read out, would you cover your ears and start screaming, panicking and fleeing the scene?
Even putting Adam The Old Driver, the actor, on the set of a movie is always wrong. Dreifer was always on the run, fleeing to a quiet place to digest everything.
J.J. Abrams loved his director so much that he caught him playing the broken soul Kylo Ren, but even Abrams said, "Sometimes he's so immersed in his own world that you don't know how to talk to him." He wasn't in a bad mood either, just brewing, wrestling with all the ideas about acting. ”
His preparation for the role has reached the level of "perversion".
He can't watch his performance because "I can see all the mistakes, I can see all the things I want to change, but it's been filmed and can never be changed."
He would even play back these mistakes in his head for months to come, and he felt that it drove himself crazy and the people around him. And the "only way to feel better" is to learn as much about his character as possible.
