When people evaluate great actors, what often gets mentioned most is range.

大家在評價很棒的演員時，常常最常提到的就是 range。

How many different characters they can play, how many different emotions they can realistically, movingly show.

他們能演多少不同的角色，能真實、動人地展現多少不同的情緒。

But I think a criteria that's just as telling as range is depth.

但我認為，跟 range 一樣重要的標準是 depth。

How many different ways an actor can portray the same emotion.

一個演員能用多少種不同的方式來詮釋同一種情緒。

I spent the last few weeks watching pretty much every film Jack Nicholson ever made, and

我過去幾週看了傑克·尼克遜幾乎所有的電影，

那種 intensity 是他的 calling card。

Today I'd like to explore the ways that Jack Nicholson conveys and uses anger in his work.

今天我想探討傑克·尼克遜在他的作品中，如何 convey 和運用憤怒。

The angles he approaches it from, the spins and emphases he puts on it in order to see what makes Jack Nicholson so great.

他從哪些 angles 去切入，以及他對憤怒做了哪些 spins 和 emphases，來看看是什麼讓傑克·尼克遜如此偉大。

Anger is an emotional response, a reaction to something.

憤怒是一種 emotional response，是對某件事的 reaction。

That reaction manifests psychologically but also physically.

這種 reaction 在 psychological 上，同時也在 physical 上 manifests 出來。

Everyone's had that sensation of being convulsed with anger.

每個人都有過那種被憤怒 convulsed 的 sensation。

What Nicholson shows again and again in his roles is how anger can literally possess the body like a spirit.

尼克遜在角色中一再展現的，是憤怒如何像個 spirit 一樣，真正地 possess 了身體。

Because if it's a mistake, maybe we could do something about it.

因為如果那是一個 mistake，也許我們能做些什麼。

This is the moment when anger becomes aggression.

這就是憤怒變成 aggression 的時刻。

Half the time that aggression in Nicholson's work is realized as actual violence against someone else, whether it's psychotic violence or in some way justified.

尼克遜作品中的 aggression，一半的時間是實現為對他人的實際暴力，無論是 psychotic violence 還是某種程度的正當化。

The other half of the time, this theatrical anger takes place in Nicholson's own personal space.

另外一半的時間，這種戲劇性的憤怒發生在尼克遜自己的個人空間裡。

He flails around, sometimes as a threat or a suggestion of violence to come.

他揮舞著，有時是作為一種威脅或即將到來的暴力的暗示。

A lot of the time it's just a release, a discharge of pent up energy.

很多時候，這只是一種釋放，一種積壓能量的宣洩。

To me, these moments, the weird contortions and spasms that Nicholson makes, are more poignant than actual attacks on people.

對我來說，這些時刻，尼克遜做的怪異扭曲和 spasms，比實際攻擊他人更令人動容。

They're a kind of exploration of the relationship between body and mind.

它們是一種對 body 和 mind 之間關係的探索。

而且從來不會讓人覺得是過度表演。

I think that's because these gesticulations are all unique to the particular anger that they spring from, whether it's focused, pointed anger or generally frustrated anger or petulant, childlike anger.

我認為這是因為這些手勢都源自於特定的憤怒，無論是集中的、尖銳的憤怒，還是普遍的沮喪憤怒，或是任性、像小孩一樣的憤怒。

I'm not taking any more of your smartness and sarcasm.

我再也受不了你的聰明和諷刺了。

For Nicholson and everybody else for that matter, anger can be a form of desperation.

對尼克遜來說，以及對其他所有人來說，憤怒可以是一種絕望的表現。

A noise so loud that you don't have to hear your own insecurities.

一種響亮的噪音，讓你聽不到自己的不安。

In Mike Nichols Carnal Knowledge, for example, Nichols plays a playboy who objectifies women and refuses to commit.

例如，在麥克·尼可斯的《肉體之慾》中，尼可斯飾演一個玩世不恭的浪子，他物化女性且不願承諾。

One of his lovers asks him to get married and he exploits, explodes.

他的一個情人要他結婚，他卻利用、爆發。

Half the time you look like you fell out of bed.

你有一半的時間看起來就像剛從床上摔下來一樣。

Nicholson acts a kind of anger here that it's easy to see right through.

尼克遜在這裡演出的憤怒，很容易就能看穿。

The larger and louder it is, the closer he is to recognizing a vulnerability in himself.

越大聲，他越接近承認自己內心的脆弱。

That's the challenge for an actor, playing this emotion.

這就是演員的挑戰，詮釋這種情緒。

大部分的憤怒都不是那種精神錯亂的暴力。

It's only a thin veneer for what's brewing below.

它只是下面醞釀著什麼的薄薄一層偽裝。

And you have to be able to turn up the volume while preserving traces of this deeper motivation.

而你必須能夠放大音量，同時保留這更深層動機的痕跡。

In the Border, for example, Nicholson plays a border agent who gets caught up with his partner's human smuggling operation.

舉例來說，在《邊境》這部電影裡，尼克遜飾演一位邊境官員，卻捲入了他搭檔的人蛇走私行動。

When the partner starts killing his competition, Nicholson realizes that he's gotten in too far.

當搭檔開始殺害競爭對手時，尼克遜意識到自己已經陷得太深了。

The key emotion in this exchange isn't anger, but fear.

在這段互動中，關鍵情緒不是憤怒，而是恐懼。

Fear that he won't be able to get himself out.

Nicholson bursts with anger here, but it's in the silent moments where the actual feelings lie.

尼克遜在這裡爆發出憤怒，但真正的情感藏在那些沉默的時刻裡。

Your fucking life is gonna be fly shit before I ever get involved in murder.

在我介入殺人之前，你他媽的命就會變得像鳥屎一樣。

This is why Nicholson's characters seem real in their anger.

這就是為什麼尼克遜的角色在憤怒時看起來如此真實。

Even with great writing and great direction.

即使有很棒的劇本和很棒的導演。

It's only the actor who can make a character polyphonic, like more than one thing is happening at the same time.

只有演員才能讓一個角色變得多聲部，就像同時發生了好幾件事一樣。

And even when you do that, the particular expression of anger has to rise out of the particular character's personality.

即使你這樣做了，憤怒的特定表達方式也必須源自角色的特定個性。

For example, take these two examples of anger, which are both underlaid with a strong sense of superiority.

舉例來說，看看這兩種憤怒的表現，它們都潛藏著強烈的優越感。

those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.

而這些牆必須由持槍的男人來守護。

Not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home, and

就算你聽到我家傳來砰然巨響，

one week later, there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body.

而且一週後，那裡飄出腐爛人體的惡臭，

And you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're gonna faint.

你得拿手帕摀住口鼻，因為那股濃烈的惡臭讓你覺得快暈過去。

Both of these men feel smarter and more Important than the person they're lecturing to.

這兩個人都覺得自己比正在說教的對象來得聰明、來得重要。

But the first is a lifelong military man in Nicholson barely moves his body or head.

但第一個是個一輩子的軍人，尼克森幾乎不移動身體或頭部。

Every swivel of the neck is measured and exact.

脖子的每一次轉動都精準且到位。

He's so restrained that a simple lean forward feels like he's lost it.

他太剋制了，光是往前傾一點，就好像他快失控一樣。

The second man is smug and in his own space.

第二個人傲慢自大，活在自己的世界裡。

His movements are freer, looser, and they even seem to mock Greg Kinnear's homosexuality.

他的動作更自由、更隨意，甚至好像在嘲笑葛雷格·金尼爾的同性戀。
