We all know that Sir Ian McKellen can act, but what makes him a great actor, and

我們都知道伊恩·麥克連爵士很會演戲，但究竟是什麼讓他成為一位傑出的演員，

情態副詞

more specifically, what makes him great on film?

更具體地說，是什麼讓他在大銀幕上如此出色？

There are a lot of answers to this question.

His mastery of the material, a grasp of interpersonal relationships, and

他對劇本的精通、對人際關係的掌握，

ability to listen and be at ease in the awkward zone of a film set.

以及在攝影棚的尷尬區域裡，能夠傾聽並感到自在的能力。

But acting, I think, is more than just putting yourself in the shoes of the character.

但我想，表演不只是把自己代入角色的感受。

And part of that craft is understanding and gaining control of all the involuntary things we do when we communicate.

而這門工藝的一部分，就是理解並獲得對我們溝通時所有非自主行為的控制。

The inflections of the voice, the gestures of the body and the expressions of the face.

聲音的語氣變化、身體的手勢，以及臉部的表情。

In the Lord of The Rings, Ian McKellen's eyes, in particular carry a heavy load.

在《魔戒》裡，伊恩·麥克連的眼神尤其承載了許多。

Gandalf is the moral center of the story.

He's also the one who understands the significance of.

In the broadest sweep, this means that Gandalf has to broadcast a whole lot of story information to the audience.

總體來說，這意味著灰袍法師必須向觀眾傳達大量的劇情資訊。

There's always two levels to every piece of the information itself and how the character feels about it or its importance to the main story.

每一條資訊都有兩個層面：資訊本身，以及角色對它的感受或它對主線故事的重要性。

Getting across that second level is important, especially in fantasy, when info is often obscure.

傳達第二個層面很重要，尤其是在奇幻故事中，因為資訊常常是晦澀難懂的。

Now you can write it into the dialogue itself.

超光速引擎發電機不見了，師父。

Or if you have Ian McKellen, you can just cut to an extreme close up.

或者如果你有伊恩·麥克連，你可以直接切到一個極近的特寫鏡頭。

It's McKellen's eyes that are communicating the gravity of the situation.

是麥克連的眼神在傳達情況的嚴重性。

It's something beyond worry, beyond concern, beyond even fear.

這是一種超越擔憂、超越關切、甚至超越恐懼的感受。

Gandalf, widening his eyes but glad, glazing them over, looks crazed, desperate, like the very possibility of Sauron obtaining the ring threatens to paralyze him with hopelessness.

灰袍法師睜大眼睛，卻又帶著喜悅，眼神迷濛，顯得瘋狂、絕望，彷彿索倫獲得戒指的可能性讓他因無望而麻痺。

McKellen dials in the look just right, and in doing so, establishes the stakes for the entire trilogy.

麥克連精準地拿捏了這個眼神，並藉此為整個三部曲確立了故事的利害關係。

What's even more impressive is how he builds to this wild look all across the first part of the movie, carrying the audience through the stages of unease, gradually trapping us inside Gandalf's mind so that his agitation is ours too.

更厲害的是，他在電影開頭就鋪陳了這個瘋狂的眼神，帶著觀眾經歷不安的階段，漸漸將我們帶入甘道夫的思緒，讓他的焦慮也變成我們的焦慮。

Again and again, Peter Jackson turns to McKellen to guide us, to bring us deeper into the story and the peril.

彼得傑克森一次又一次地倚賴麥克連來引導我們，帶我們更深入故事和危險之中。

It's a great gift for a director to have an actor whose reaction shots say just as much as his dialogue, sometimes more.

對導演來說，能有一位演員的反應鏡頭跟他的臺詞一樣有戲，甚至更有戲，這真是太棒了。

In fact, reaction shots are often the thing that activates a line of important dialogue.

事實上，反應鏡頭常常是啟動重要臺詞的關鍵。

Sometimes in film, we don't really hear something until we see someone hearing it.

有時候在電影裡，我們直到看到有人在聽，才真正聽到某句話。

Take this moment at the Council of Elrond when Frodo makes the momentous decision to take the Ring to to Mordor.

就像在精靈寶鑽會議上，佛羅多做出帶著魔戒前往魔多的重大決定時。

I always tear up a little at this part, but

我每次看到這裡都會有點想哭，但

not when Frodo says his line just after it, I will take it.

不是因為佛羅多接著說的那句「我願意」。

It's the simple act of Gandalf shutting his eyes that brings it home for me.

而是甘道夫閉上眼睛這個簡單的動作，才真正觸動了我。

愛、恐懼、無奈、驕傲的混合體。

Really, putting it into words defeats the purpose.

真的，要用言語表達就失去意義了。

It's all the significance of that choice in a look.

那一個眼神就包含了那個選擇的全部意義。

So much of Lord of the Rings is reaction.

The scene where the Fellowship meets Galadriel, for example, is basically all eyes.

像是「魔戒遠徵隊」遇見凱蘭崔爾的那場戲，基本上全都是眼神交流。

As I watch McKellen's performance, I'm fascinated by his choices.

看著麥克連的表演，我對他的選擇感到著迷。

When he returns as Gandalf the White and Two Towers, he emerges with these eternally calm eyes.

當他以白袍甘道夫的身份在「雙城記」中回歸時，他帶著那雙永恆平靜的眼睛出現。

But then he widens them and his face takes on this odd trance like quality, indicating with subtle change that a move closer toward divinity is also a move further from humanity.

但接著他睜大眼睛，臉上出現一種奇特的恍惚感，用細微的變化暗示著，走向神性的一步也是遠離人性的一步。

I wonder if another actor would have made a choice like that, because I don't think it's the obvious one.

我想知道有沒有其他演員會做出這樣的選擇，因為我不認為這是顯而易見的。

There are around 40 muscles in the human face and they all work together to create a variety of expressions.

人臉大約有40條肌肉，它們會協同作用，創造出各種表情。

In real life, we're not always aware of the faces we're making, but

在現實生活中，我們不一定會注意到自己臉部表情的變化，但

an actor has to be because that's where the audience is looking a lot of the time.

演員必須要注意，因為觀眾大部分時間都在看臉。

Time to read the emotional arc of the story, to appreciate how hard this is.

是時候去讀懂故事的情感弧線，去欣賞這有多麼不容易。

I invite you to try replicating some of Gandalf's faces in the mirror.

我邀請你試著在鏡子裡模仿甘道夫的一些表情。

See if you can key into that same conviction that McKellen does.

看看你能不能掌握麥克連那種相同的信念。

See if you can make your eyes literally travel as Gandalfs do when he describes the afterlife to Pippin.

看看你能不能讓你的眼睛像甘道夫在跟皮聘描述來世時那樣，真的跟著移動。

White shores and beyond a far green country into a swift sunrise.

白色的海岸，還有遠方綠色的國度，進入了飛快的日出。

Looking back across the series, I was amazed by the range of expression in McKellen's eyes.

回顧整部系列，我對麥克連眼神的豐富表現力感到驚豔。

It's not the only tool in his toolbox and it's not the only thing that makes the these films work so well.

這不是他工具箱裡唯一的工具，也不是讓這些電影如此成功的一切。

But that range expands and deepens the emotional universe of the story.

但這種豐富性擴展並深化了故事的情感宇宙。

It's a layer of performance that eliminates the need for bad dialogue.

這是一種表演層次，能省去爛對白的需要。

And if nothing else, it's the kind of acting that close Ups were made for.

就算沒有別的，這也是近鏡頭專為之設計的表演類型。
