Stephen leans ntau dua thaum txhua tus neeg khiav tawm thaum nws los txog rau tej yam xws li kev xav paub ntxiv txog Hilary txoj kev noj qab haus huv. Nws yog tus yam ntxwv tshwj xeeb, thiab peb tsis tuaj yeem pom qhov no ntau zaus.

Ua ntej kuv paub nws kuv tau saib cov khoom zoo li Miv rau ntawm lub Pobzeb Kub Kub thiab A Streetcar Named muaj siab, txawm tias lawv tsis muaj dab tsi ua nrog Empire of Light. Kuv tsis tau saib lawv, tab sis lawv tseem ceeb heev hauv keeb kwm cinematic tias nws yog qhov tseem ceeb kom pom cov neeg ua yeeb yam thiab cov dab neeg no thiab nkag siab txog kev hlub ntawm xinesmas uas yog ib feem ntawm qhov no. Ntau cov yeeb yaj kiab tau hais los yog nthuav tawm thoob plaws hauv qhov screenplay, qee zaum tsuas yog thaum hloov lub marquee sab nraud. kuv saib Raging Bull vim zaj movie no. Muaj feem ntau tsis muaj kev hais txog nws hais lus, tab sis nws yog nyob rau hauv tsab ntawv raws li ib qho ntawm cov npe uas yuav nyob rau hauv xinesmas. Kuv xav tias qhov ntawd yog qhov amazing. Thaum nws tuaj rau suab paj nruag, Sam muab txhua tus playlist ntawm lawv tus cwj pwm tuaj yeem mloog tau. Kuv siv qhov ntawd, nrog rau cov suab paj nruag thoob plaws hauv qhov screenplay thiab suab paj nruag uas kuv nyiam, uas kuv xav tias Stephen yuav nyiam thiab. Qhov ntawd tsis yog 80s xwb. Muaj ib zaj nkauj uas kuv mloog tau hu Riptide; Nws yog ib txoj kev niaj hnub no, tab sis nws ua rau kuv muaj kev vibe, thiab Stephen yuav nyiam nws.

Thompson: Thaum Sam coj, nws qhia koj tias yuav ua li cas thiab Sam coj ntau npaum li cas koj nkag siab Stephen?

Pawg Ntseeg: Peb tau ua ntau rehearsals, yog li nws tau mus rau qhov chaw uas koj yuav paub tus cwj pwm. Sam tsis tas yuav qhia koj tias koj xav ua dab tsi, tab sis koj yuav los nrog koj lub tswv yim, koj rov hais dua, thiab nws yuav pab koj taug kev mus rau qhov chaw uas nws tsim nyog rau zaj dab neeg. Nws tsis yog hais txog kev xis nyob; rau kuv, nws yog ntau dua los thawb kuv tus kheej ua ib tus kws kos duab tab sis tseem ua rau nws muaj kev nkag siab zoo hauv cov ntsiab lus ntawm qhov screenplay. Qhov ntawd tso cai rau kuv ua txhua yam vim kuv paub tias kuv tuaj yeem tso siab rau lawv kom coj kuv rov qab los ntawm cov khoom uas kuv nyiam hauv paus rau kuv tus kheej, uas yog qhov tseeb. Nws mob siab tiag tiag, yog li ntawd zoo siab heev.

Thompson: Kuv txaus siab los ntawm qhov tseeb thiab qib ntawm cov ntsiab lus uas tau nkag mus rau hauv qhov nthuav dav. Lub foyer tsis yog nyob rau hauv ib tug yeeb yam ua yeeb yam; nws tau tsim tshwj xeeb hauv qhov chaw nyob ze.

Pawg Ntseeg: Nws yog ob peb lub tsev los ntawm qhov chaw qub xinesmas, uas yog Dreamland hauv Margate. Nws yog insane vim thaum koj nyob rau ntawm lub teeb, koj cia li xav zoo li koj nyob ntawd. Thaum koj yuav ntsia, lub teeb yuav dhau los, tab sis nws pom tseeb tias theem teeb pom kev zoo. Thaum koj taug kev sab nraud, nws yuav yog lub tsev pheeb suab grey loj, thiab koj xav tias, 'Wow! Qhov no tshwm sim li cas?' Roger Deakins tau ua haujlwm zoo nrog Mark Tildesley, tus tsim tsim khoom, hais txog lub teeb pom kev zoo thiab nws cov qauv tsim. Nws zoo kawg nkaus.

Thompson: Koj tau raug hais hauv kev sib tham rau Best Actor nominations xyoo no. Ntau tus neeg koj tau ua haujlwm nrog rau qhov no tau dhau los ntawm qhov ntawd. Puas muaj ib qho ntawm lawv tau muab tswv yim rau koj txog qhov khoom plig txawv txawv no lub caij npuas?

Pawg Ntseeg: Ua ncaj ncees rau koj, kuv tseem tsis tau nkag siab tiag tiag. Kuv tsuas xav kom tib neeg saib daim movie no thiab tuaj yeem pom kuv qhov kev ua yeeb yam hauv qhov ntawd. Kuv tsis tau tsom ntsoov rau tej yam koj hais txog. Lawv tsis tau muab lus qhia rau kuv ib yam li tsis tsom ntsoov rau nws. Lawv tau hais tias yog nws tshwm sim, nws tshwm sim, tab sis siv lub sijhawm no los tso cai rau tib neeg pom tias peb tau ua txoj haujlwm zoo li cas tseem ceeb rau kuv txawm li cas los xij.

Thompson: Peb tham txog peb txoj kev sib txuas nrog cov khoom siv los ntawm UK, thiab nws yog ib zaj yeeb yaj kiab British heev. Rau cov neeg tsis paub txog lub sijhawm kab lis kev cai no thiab qee qhov ntawm cov pob zeb, cov neeg sab nraud tuaj yeem txuas nrog nws li cas?

Pawg Ntseeg: Kuv xav tias kev noj qab haus huv puas yog ib txoj hauv kev, thiab qee cov ntsiab lus yog universal. Kev ntxub ntxaug lwm tus, thiab xinesmas yog lwm qhov. Muaj ntau yam uas lawv tuaj yeem txuas nrog. Lub suab yuav txawv, thiab qhov zoo nkauj yog, tab sis cov neeg ntawm no tau ntsib ntau yam zoo ib yam li cov neeg nyob hauv UK. Cov no yog tej yam uas yuav tso cai rau lawv hais txog zaj dab neeg. Raws li kuv tau hais, nws yog ib daim ntawm lub neej uas lawv tsis tshua pom nyob rau hauv cov nqe lus ntawm 80s UK thiab cov khoom, tab sis nws yog fascinating.

Empire of Light yog nyob rau hauv theaters tam sim no.
