Chapter 481: The Veil (Part )
Catherine didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment - sometimes it was just like this, human language was simply not enough to describe those exquisite performances - the person on the screen was still wearing the bad outfit that would be criticized by fashion magazines, but his eyes were full of charm, attracting her heartbeat in a strong way that was completely opposite to what he just did.
"Because I know everything that happened to her. She doesn't know me, but I know everything about her - anything I want to know." Eve Blake took a comfortable puff of cigarette and handled the two doctors' questions in a casual and relaxed manner. "Of course, there are some things about her that I am not interested in, such as the idiot outside."
She sat up straight and pointed at the door with annoyance on her face: her actions were rude and impolite, but her eyes revealed a childlike innocence and childishness, making it impossible for people to feel dissatisfied with her domineering attitude at the moment.
Dr. Luther scratched his nose uncomfortably and volunteered, "She means Mr. White."
Catching the flash of embarrassment in the young man's eyes, Eve Blake laughed even harder.
"The point is, she doesn't care about him at all. She keeps telling herself that she cares just because she thinks it's her duty as a wife. It's ridiculous, isn't it?" She shrugged, with a tone of regret.
The camera turned away, and Dr. Luther and Dr. Dave exchanged a knowing look with each other.
Catherine noticed this scene, but she didn't pay too much attention to the two of them. Instead, she seized these few brief seconds and thought hard: "This is completely crazy! It seems that she has changed her performance style again?"
"No, that's not right. She's still using the method acting techniques..." Catherine quickly denied herself and muttered, "But her acting style doesn't seem as mature as in Freedom Road. It looks like she's regressed, but in fact, it's more infectious and gives people a sense of impact that hits the soul - there's no doubt that this girl has figured out a new set of techniques that suit her!"
Compared to "Freedom Road" which has a utopian metaphor at the end, the background tone of "The Veil" is much gloomier. As soon as Eve appeared, she stunned Catherine with a single shot from far to near - just a few small movements and two or three lines of dialogue, the character of Eve completely attracted her attention. It can be seen that the appeal brought by this unknown new technique is almost incomparable to Nicole's previous roles.
"Freedom Road will be her last peak... I think these rumors about her will completely disappear after The Painted Veil is released." Catherine clenched her hands with excitement. "Eve is definitely a new peak of this girl's acting skills. She has improved again! This is incredible. You know, she was already very good. Is this the result of Greta Mirren's training? But Laura Adams didn't show any signs of a complete transformation in her acting skills after she performed Tess..."
Thinking of the third personality mentioned in the film's introduction, Catherine suppressed the shock in her heart and continued to focus on the movie.
"You just said that something went wrong somewhere," Dr. Luther stood by the window in the sunny clinic, asking about Eve Black's condition with concern. "Do you mean that besides Mrs. White's attempt to commit suicide, there are other problems?"
Hearing his words, Eve Blake's body language visibly tensed up for a moment.
"Yeah. Because now I also have symptoms of temporary loss of consciousness." She curled her lips, her eyelashes trembled, and her expression was a little uneasy.
"You mean a period of time has passed and you don't remember what happened?" Luther immediately sat up straight and put out the cigarette in his hand.
"Honestly, this scares me too!" Eve Blake said loudly, blowing out a smoke ring and kicking her feet in a coquettish and willful manner.
Luther's expression changed completely - now he looked quite serious and solemn, "Can I talk to Mrs. White?"
"of course can."
Eve shrugged indifferently, closed her eyes, and slowly lowered her head - taking advantage of this gap, Luther took the cigar between her fingers.
Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered twice, and the corners of Eve's lips, which were originally raised, slowly flattened. When she opened her eyes again, there was only confusion and helplessness in her eyes.
Even though she had prepared herself mentally in advance, when the third personality "Jane" appeared with hypnosis therapy, Catherine still felt unprecedented excitement - Eve White, Eve Blake and Jane are very obviously different from each other, but Nicole can frequently switch between three different personalities within five minutes, and never confuse the character traits and micro-expression details of each personality, distinguishing the three personalities very thoroughly, allowing the audience to effortlessly identify which personality is dominating the body - this section is completely a climax of Nicole's "show of skills"!
"That's horrible, she's only 25 - I guarantee Eve will make her one of the greatest actresses of our time!"
Catherine was so excited that she paced back and forth in the room and watched this passage over and over again several times before she gradually calmed down.
"Oh my God, I wish she was a real French." She took a deep breath, sat back on the sofa, and pressed the play button again. "I never thought that Asians' acting talent could reach this level..."
In the next half hour, Catherine's attention was no longer on the plot - to be honest, this was a movie that absolutely belonged to Nicole. Whether it was Dr. Luther or the beastly husband who was like a villain, they were just embellishments for the character of Eve.
"Her performance is very delicate and layered. The two performances of rapid personality switching and personality conflict fusion are enough to be included in the history of film and become classics. Oh, if I could, I really want to vote for her for the best actress - she is so worthy of admiration..."
Even after the film was over, Catherine was still obsessed with revisiting Nicole's performance, immersed in her own thoughts: it has only been a few years since Nicole won the title of Queen at Cannes. She is too young, and the organizing committee will not be willing to let her win the second title so soon, so she must think carefully about how to give this precious vote...
