Решила посмотреть фильм летом, и вот вчера решили пересмотреть, раз уж я взялась за Кевина Спейси.
Его участие в этом фильме было для меня сюрпризом, так как я всего лишь видела имена двух главных актеров на постерах.
И, стоит ли говорить, как он снова меня поразил. Устрашающе ...
Прочла сейчас, что несмотря на уговоры студии о высоком гонораре и упоминании на постерах, задумкой Кевина было оставить в тайне его участие в фильме.
Это было как он объясняет выгодно с художественной точки зрения, а также с рекламной - не хотелось ему участвовать в продвижении фильма и давать интервью и т.д.
Хитрый гений. Да и остальные актеры - Фриман, Пэлтроу и Питт казалось бы были на своих местах.
Сам фильм на мой взгляд лучший, из тех что я видела у Дэвида Финчера, которого я не обожаю.
У него есть свой стиль, и я не скажу, что он плохой. Просто впервые он мне действительно понравился.
А что до открывающих титров- я писала о них в своей курсовой о дизайне титров, но видела лишь отрывками,и вот впервые увидела их во всей красе.
This was voted the eighth scariest film of all time by Entertainment Weekly.
Even though he's probably one of the most horrifying and sadistic killers in cinematic history, John Doe isn't seen killing anyone on screen.
читать дальшеNew Line executives originally balked at the film's ending, but Brad Pitt refused to make the film if the ending were changed.
The ending narration of Somerset quoting Ernest Hemingway was an added compromise that neither David Fincher or Morgan Freeman particularly cared for.
The decision came from New Line after poor test screenings regarding the dark ending.
One version of the sсript contained a few scenes following the final confrontation between the detectives and John Doe.
In one, Somerset is recovering in the hospital after being shot by Mills, and the captain delivers a letter to him from Mills which reads, "You were right. You were right about everything."
As preparation for his traumatic scene in the interrogation room, Leland Orser would breathe in and out very rapidly so that his body would be overly saturated with oxygen, giving him the ability to hyperventilate.
He also did not sleep for a few days to achieve his character's disoriented look.
There's a line in which Mills names motives that killers give; one of them is 'Jodie Foster told me to do it.' He is referring to John Hinckley Jr., a man that was obsessed with Jodie Foster and attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan to impress her.
The other that Mills says is "My dog told me to do it.", a reference to David Berkowitz, AKA, the "Son of Sam" -
- a serial killer who terrorized the New York City area in the summers of 1976 and 1977 and claimed that his neighbor's dog was possessed and told him to commit murder.
Denzel Washington turned down the part that went to Brad Pitt, telling Entertainment Weekly that the film was too "dark and evil." Washington later regretted his decision upon seeing a screening.
Kevin Spacey was cast two days before filming began.
The producers intended that Kevin Spacey should receive top billing at the start of the movie but he insisted that his name not appear in the opening credits, so as to surprise the audience with the identity of the killer.
To compensate, he is listed twice in the closing credits: once before the credits start rolling, and once in the rolling credits in order of appearance.
Another advantage from Spacey's point of view, as he saw it, was that he was excluded from the film's marketing during its release, meaning he didn't have to make any public appearances or do any interviews.
Before Kevin Spacey was set to shoot his first scene, he asked director David Fincher if he should shave his head for the role.
David Fincher replied "If you do it, I'll do it." Both Fincher and Spacey were bald for the remainder of the movie production.
This was regarded as the first "A" production for New Line Cinema, proving that they could attract "A-list" directors and cast.
The victim tied to the bed for a year was not an animatronic model, but a very skinny actor made up to look even more corpse-like.
Rob Bottin used a set of exaggerated teeth to make the head look smaller and more shrunken from malnutrition.
