Throughout the history of Oscars, most of the films favored by the judges are concentrated in a few fixed genres-biopics, dramas and other "feature films", or comedies, musicals, westerns and other genres that are popular among the public. Even now, fantasy and horror movies are still not so popular among judges. But as early as the Fifth Oscar in 1933, there was such a horror film, which not only won multiple Oscar nominations, but also won a very important Best Actor Award. This is by Frederick March Starring in "Dr. Avatar".
In the Victorian era, Jackell, a successful medical doctor, believed that human nature can be divided into two aspects, good and evil. In order to prove his point, he invented a special medicine that would become another self-Hyde. Sir, the doctor gave all his evil thoughts to the cruel and evil Mr. Hyde. Jackel is suave, modest and courteous. He has a gentle and virtuous fiancee, but his desire to become Hyde is aroused by the licentious woman. Finally, a tragedy was finally out of control, Jackel became increasingly unable to get rid of Hyde, and finally chose to commit suicide.
One of Hollywood’s most famous classic movies, adapted from the novel of the same name written by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1886. After this version was put on the screen in 1931, several versions appeared one after another, but from the classic degree In terms of spread, they can't surpass this version.
The most outstanding part of the film is that in the process of Jackle transforming into Mr. Hyde, the director did not rely on special effects at all, but used excellent makeup and photography skills to transform the handsome Jackel into the ugly and weird Hyde. Frederick March also contributed wonderful acting skills. He truly achieved one person and two sides. The audience did not even notice that Jackel and Hyde were played by one person during the viewing process. And March also paid a painful price for this, his appearance was almost permanently damaged, and he had to be hospitalized for three weeks after the filming was completed.
Frederick March was born in Wisconsin in 1897. He served in the Army as a lieutenant during World War I and worked in a bank after he retired. It wasn't until a severe appendicitis operation nearly killed him that he felt the explanation was short-lived and decided to pursue his dream of acting. He performed stage plays on Broadway and worked as a temporary film actor in Hollywood. However, his career path was not smooth. It was not until 1926 that he was able to play the protagonist in the Broadway drama "The Devil in Cheese." At 30 years old, as an actor, it seems a bit late bloomer.
The "Broadway Family" starred in 1931 earned him his first Oscar nomination, and the subsequent "Dr. Incarnation" allowed him to share the Oscar winner crown with Wallace Berry, which is also the only double winner in Oscar history. Yellow Egg, this film also earned him the title of King of the First Venice Film Festival. Later "The Birth of a Star" and "The Battle of Duguli Bridge" are also classics. In 1947, with the movie "Golden Age", he once again won the Oscar winner.
As an actor, Frederick March's acting career is very long, until two months before his death, he still played a role in the movie "The Iceman is Coming". His handsome appearance, elegant temperament and excellent acting skills have made him one of the most respected stage and screen actors. The Los Angeles Times once commented on him:
Whether on the screen or off the screen, March is considered the best. March is the dream of a director, and he sets the standard. He invented the word "professional" and exemplified the word "excellence".
