《敦刻尔克》影星芬恩白头讲述了新冠疫情期间拍摄电影的挑战,但他说那都是为了使业界保持生机“所要付出的小小代价”。
因在诺兰执导的战争片中饰演主角而成名,后来又参演了黑镜的交互式特别篇潘达斯奈基的这位英国演员,日前出演了惊悚片《别告诉任何人》,影片围绕着偷窃了几千美元的青少年兄弟俩展开。
在疫情期间他拍摄了不少作品,包括即将上映的Emily Bronte传记片《艾米莉》,与参演了《性教育》的Emma Mackey共演,在片中他饰演了Bronte家的哥哥Branwell。
他告诉PA新闻通讯社:“我拍了很多作品,我很幸运。”
“情况变化很大,现在的片场环境很让人混乱。
“人人都要很频繁地做核酸检测,任何人不能在片场有肢体接触,而且大家都带着口罩。
“和之前比起来,拍电影大不相同了。以前大家真的变得像一个小家庭一样,每个人都亲密接触,你可以拥抱别人,可以和他们聊天,而且你也能看见大家的面部表情。
“现在我发现我们全副武装的时候大家走过来和我打招呼都说‘武装快乐’,还有我在酒店见到他们的时候,我认不出他们摘下口罩的样子,和他们一起工作了好几个月还这样真是离谱。”
他补充道:“与此同时,我得付出更多努力才能保持工作。这是为了使拍摄持续、使业界保持活力需要付出的很小很小的代价,而它如今应该是大家应该首要关注的。
“所以就算我们必须戴口罩,还得做一些不太方便的事,总的来说我们还是工作得不错,我们毕竟还能从事我们热爱的工作,还能拍电影,而此时世界上很多人的处境比我们糟得多。”
在DTAS中他扮演了一名欺凌自己弟弟和妈妈的残忍大哥,谈起他在影片的反派角色,他说道:“扮演反派总是非常好玩,因为你能做出其他角色无法企及的选择。
“所以扮演反派绝对是很不一样的体验。我演上瘾了,结果那之后又扮演了好几次反派,真的有意思。
“剖析一个角色的内心最深处,再去塑造他,随后完全屈服于他的这种邪恶本性,这个过程始终很有趣。”
他继续说道:“我一直喜欢扮演一些游走于邪恶边缘的角色,同时我觉得我现在也已经塑造了几个更黑暗的角色。
“我认为思考把一个角色逼到那个点上的因素很有意思。我还挺坚信所谓的愤怒、攻击性和暴力其实都只是来源于某种痛苦的。”

Dunkirk star Fionn Whitehead has described the challenges of filming during Covid but said it is a “small price to pay” to keep the industry alive.
The British actor, who first found fame in the lead role in Christopher Nolan’s war film and starred in the interactive episode of Black Mirror, Bandersnatch, currently stars in the thriller Don’t Tell A Soul, about two teenage brothers who steal thousands of dollars.
Throughout the pandemic he has filmed a number of projects including the upcoming Emily Bronte biopic Emily, opposite Sex Education star Emma Mackey, in which he plays Bronte’s brother Branwell.
He told the PA news agency: “I have filmed a fair amount, I’ve been quite lucky.
“It’s changed so much, the landscape of filming at the moment is just so confusing.
“Everyone’s getting tested very regularly and no-one’s allowed to touch on set, and they’re wearing masks.
“It is such a difference to what filming was like before. Before you really became like a little family and everyone’s really close and you hug and talk to people and you can see people’s facial expressions.
“Now I find people coming up to me when we wrap to say “happy wrap” or seeing them in the hotel, and I wouldn’t recognise them without their masks, which is really bizarre thing after working with them for months.”
He added: “At the same time I’d do much more than that to be able to keep working. It’s a small, small price to pay to be able to keep filming and to keep the industry alive, which should really be everyone’s primary focus at the moment.
“So even if you have to wear masks and do things that are slightly inconvenient for you, on the whole we’ve got it pretty good, and we’re able to do something we love and make films when a lot of people around the world are in much worse situations.”
Discussing his dark role in Don’t Tell A Soul, in which he plays the brutish older brother who bullies his sibling and their mother, he said: “Villains are always just so much fun to play, because you get to make choices that you just wouldn’t be able to make with other characters and go so much further.
“So it’s definitely a different role to play. I got hooked and ended up playing a couple of villains after that, which was good fun.
“It’s always interesting to strip a character down to his core and sort of build it up and totally give in to the sort of evil nature of it.”
He continued: “I’ve always loved playing characters which have an edge of villainy, and I think I’ve done a few roles now that kind of leaned much more into that.
“I think it’s just interesting to think about what pushes a character to that point. I’m quite a big believer in the fact that kind of anger and aggression and violence really only comes from a place of pain.”
