第81章 Movie Stars 影视明星(9)

In 1949 Peck co-founded The La Jolla Playhouse, at his birthplace, with Mel Ferrer and Dorothy McGuire。 This local community theater and landmark (now in a new home at the University of California, San Diego) still thrives today。 It has attracted Hollywood film stars on hiatus both as performers and enthusiastic supporters since its inception。

他是好莱坞影星中为数不多的大学毕业生,从影四十年,拍了五十多部影片,塑造了许多令观众倾倒的形象。他们中有理想主义的牧师、善良的农民、剽悍的职业枪手、无忧无虑的记者、严峻的职业军人。他曾四次被提名奥斯卡奖,终于在《杀死一只知更鸟》中因成功地扮演了一个不顾个人安危、为黑人伸张正义的律师而获奥斯卡最佳男主角奖。

纵观他的影史,他演的多半是正气凛然的社会上层人物,加上他在好莱坞从事公益活动的崇高地位,无论银幕上下都塑造了庄严高贵的形象。就表演而论,略嫌单薄了些,然而,这种忠诚正直的理想人物,在美国电影上已越来越少,也越来越令人怀念了。

About Brando

关于白兰度

Born in April 3, 1924, Marlon Brando was an American actor who performed for over half a century。

He was perhaps best known for his roles as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), his Academy Award-nominated performance as Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata! (1952), his role as Mark Antony in the MGM film adaptation of the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar (1953), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award, and his Academy Award-winning performance as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront (1954)。 During the 1970s, he was most famous for his Academy Award-winning performance as Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather (1972), also playing Colonel Walter Kurtz in another Coppola film, Apocalypse Now (1979), Brando delivered an Academy Award-nominated performance as Paul in Last Tango in Paris (1972), in addition to directing and starring in the western film One-Eyed Jacks (1961)。

Brando had a significant impact on film acting, and was the foremost example of the “method” acting style。 While he became notorious for his “mumbling” diction and exuding a raw animal magnetism, his mercurial performances were nonetheless highly regarded, and he is considered one of the greatest and most influential actors of the 20th century。

Brando was also an activist, supporting many issues, notably the African-American Civil Rights Movement and various American Indian Movements。

马龙·白兰度凭借《码头风云》夺得奥斯卡小金人。1957年在《再见》中扮演一位美军少校,1958年在《幼狮》中扮演一位纳粹军官,1959年在《流浪者》中扮演一位流浪汉等等。而所有的这些尝试,都得到了不错的评价。之后,马龙·白兰度更是尝试自导自演影片《小心眼儿》,出演主人公里奥。60年代末期从好莱坞淡出的马龙·白兰度,在1973年复出,并凭借《教父》一片中的黑手党教父角色,第二次卷走了奥斯卡最佳男主角的小金人。这之后的马龙·白兰度,演技日臻完美,与年轻时期的硬汉角色迥然有别。精明内敛而又霸气十足的教父唐·维克托,迷恋上一名法国少女作家,越南战场上疯狂残暴的科茨上校,对生活感到麻木的精神病医生杰克等,都在马龙·白兰度的表演中得到了升华。马龙·白兰度的最后一个演艺高潮一直持续到他去世为止,虽然数量不算多,但片片都是精品。
