462. Reasons for choosing Roca

"Roka Roka, are you ready?"

"All right!"

On May 5, the fifth day in Winchester, Rocca ushered in the first scene of "Atonement".

Atonement is a movie of the same name by British writer Ian McEwan.

.

The story begins in 1935. In the quiet and leisurely English countryside, the wealthy Talis family spends their summer vacation in their country house.

The 13-year-old girl Briony has just started to try writing and has a rich imagination.

One day, she secretly discovered that Robbie Turner (played by Roca), the servant's son, was having an affair with her sister Cecilia (played by Kate Knightley).

It is also discovered that Robbie wrote an erotic love letter to Cecilia.

She thought Robbie was a hideous pervert.

After her cousin Lola was raped, Briony insisted that Robbie did it, which led to Robbie being wronged and imprisoned.

The Second World War broke out. After being released from prison, Robbie joined the battle to defend the motherland, and Cecilia also became a nurse.

Afterwards, the two agreed to marry after the war, but Robbie died in the Dunkirk retreat, and Cecilia also died in a big explosion.

A fatal misunderstanding between a pair of lovers ended disastrously, and the result filled Briony with remorse, and finally she restored the truth of the matter to atone for her sin.

.

The shooting of the movie is mainly divided into two parts, one is the story in the manor, before Robbie was imprisoned, and the second part is after the outbreak of World War II, Robbie went to the battlefield and died in Dunkirk.

The crew first filmed the plot of the manor, which was set in a manor on the outskirts of Winchester.

Built in 1889, the manor is in Victorian style, simple and elegant. There are gardens, lawns and fountains in the manor, which is quiet and full of artistic taste.

Walking around the manor, Roca immediately fell in love with this kind of classical manor. Living in this kind of place is like living the life of a British nobleman.

Considering that he will often film in the UK in the future, he wants to buy a manor here.

Planting roses in the manor, raising a few horses, a group of big white geese, a few lovely alpacas, and occasionally bringing children to live here for a while, traveling and vacationing, it should feel very good.

"Rocca, Saoirse, according to the rehearsal scene yesterday, let's try the play first, OK?"

Director Joe Wright said while holding the director tube.

"no problem!"

Rocca and Saoirse walked to the gate of the manor.

Robbie, played by Rocca, is the son of the manor housekeeper, a man who graduated from Cambridge University but is labeled as an inferior person.

In this scene, his dress is very simple, half-worn shirt, trousers, leather shoes, but he is tall and straight, handsome, even wearing plain clothes, his appearance is still good.

Saoirse Ronan, who plays opposite him, is 13 years old this year. She has a pair of blue eyes and has very good acting skills. She plays the role of 13-year-old Briony in the play.

Today's scene is about Briony finished writing a play, saw Robbie who was resting at the door, and took the initiative to come up to talk.

"Every part is ready, three two one, action!"

The crew officially started filming.

Robbie was leaning against the doorway wall, hunched over and shaking off one of his leather shoes, when Briony came out of the room.

"Hi buddy, I hear you're rehearsing a play?"

Robbie stood on one foot and said while putting on his shoes.

"Who told you that?"

asked Briony.

"Good news spreads far and wide!"

Robbie chuckled.

"Are you coming back to see?"

Briony lowered her head a little shyly.

"I don't know if it will"

Robbie tied his shoelaces and said with a handsome smile, "Why don't you show me the script? In the past, every time you finished writing, you would make a beautiful book and give it to me, and I would keep it!"

"But I still want you to come!"

Briony said.

"try your best!"

"I gotta go!"

Briony turned and went through the door.

"cut!"

In the director's area, Director Wright took a look at the camera and heaved a sigh of relief.

In this group of shots, Roca played very steadily, handled the details very maturely, and the performance of the young actor Saoirse was also remarkable.

Director Wright called the two over, praised the young actor Saoirse, pointed out a few details, and re-shot.

Rocca's performance in the second pass was still very stable, from language to movements, he performed very naturally.

"As expected of the person Director Nolan admires, he has great potential."

When initially selecting actors, neither he nor the crew considered Roca as a candidate.

One is that Rocca is not a British actor, and this play needs an authentic British actor.

There are too many negative news about Roca, which makes people feel that he is not a down-to-earth actor.

During the period among the three, there were rumors that Rocca was jointly banned by Pitt and Leonardo, and someone in the production department also said hello, asking the casting director to pass Rocca directly during the audition.
