When people think of Master -Delo in 1999 "Fight Club", " The picture that can first come to my mind is Marla (Helena Bonham Carter) standing by smoking that cigarette while the camera is pushed on it. It makes sense that this recording is glued so tightly in people's heads: we may know that smoking is bad for you (like, Really bad for you), but tragically, it does not change the fact that smoking looks cool.

At the very least, the cinema looks like. Turning cigarette smoke is magical to the camera and can add some interesting visual sides to what could otherwise be a dull scene. It does not even enter the way smoking can be used to convey a character, or set the step for the scene, or as an impetus for two characters even start talking in the first place. No wonder the pieces of periods are so popular; Only there can the directors take advantage of all the cinematic benefits that smoking smoking.

The disadvantage of the film with their characters smokes, however, is that the actors often need to inhale those cigarette toxins. And, if they work for a celebrity neurotic director like David Fincher, the actor may have to smoke many of those deadly cigarettes than they can handle. This is what happened to Helena Bonham Carter, which recall in an interview in 2009 She had to make so many downloads on her smoking scenes that developed bronchitis.

"I had to have an X-ray because I got bronchitis, surprise-time for six-month recordings. And Fincher makes a lot of downloads and a lot of smoke shots," Bonham Carter explained. "He was obsessed with the smoke. He had to hover in a certain way. So I was just sitting there in the cigarette cemetery."

While many actors smoke with real cigarettes because of their authenticity, it increases for the actors to use herbal cigarettes. These are less toxic than regular cigarettes, although they have the unfortunate lack of taste. Jonon Ham, whose The leading character of "crazy men" seemingly smoked two packs a day, talked about How miserably found those herbal cigarettes:

"They take like a mix of pot and soap. ... Somebody actually watched the pilot and counted the amount of cigarettes i smoked in the pilot - it was 74 or some ridiculous number like. Scene is not shooting one taking of a scene-it's found or five set-ups, and Three or Four Takes on Each Set-up I can hear from my voice that it is a debilitating endeavor. "

Cilian Murphy, whose "character of top blinds" Also smoked countless cigarettes after episodeHe also complained to that horrible herbal taste. "My next character will not be a smoker," He told the Guardian. "They can't be good for you. Even herbal cigarettes now have health warnings."

The other question with herbal cigarettes is that they produce less smoke than real cigarettes, which is probably the reason why Fincher let Bonam Carter smoke the real ones. ("Mindhunter" actor Alex Morf later Confirmed in an interview for 2018 That Fincher "does not want the way plant cigarettes look at the film. Like Ham Put it in another interview:

"Some of the younger actors (wanted) to smoke real cigarettes, because" we really want to feel it and do it. " I was like, "let me know how it goes." Within three days they were yellow and weak.
