There is a voice called Richard Burton's voice. There is a kind of alcoholic called Richard Burton.
As a Hollywood actor, his films are basically literary films, feature films, and epic films. Only a few films have been screened in our country, and one of them is the original film, so most of its circulated versions are translated versions.
Once his play is dubbed, it loses its original taste. Because sound is the soul of his performance, I deliberately found the original English version and watched it again.
Burton was 53 years old at the time of the filming. As an 8-year-old smoker and a 12-year-old alcoholic, he continued his drinking life for a full 41 years, which made his face look ten years older than that of 51-year-old Roger Moore. His face was really vicissitudes of life, and he was so old that he couldn't see the handsome shadow of his youth.
Not to mention how handsome he was when he was young, even in the late middle-aged when he was beginning to fade, as long as he had a fair complexion, even if he had a big beard to cover his face, his delicate and affectionate temperament could not be blocked.
Because his eyes are really stealing the spotlight, this is really vivid in the scene in which he was hesitant to sign and execute Annie in "Annie's Thousand Days" in 70 years, his sixth Oscar nominated work. .
His early and mid-stage acting really depended on his eyes, which is why he didn't seem to have any acting skills in most of the 1950s. Because the scenes before "Looking Back Anger" in '59 were basically distant scenes, without a close-up of his face, there would be no way to show his glamour. In "Looking Back Anger" his face had more close-ups, and the smell called "Richard Burton" appeared.
The "Wild Goose Squad" in 1978 is his later work. By this time, his acting skills have reached the stage, and he always squints his eyes and is still very powerful.
As a film that rescued the British film industry from crisis, the Queen of England attended the premiere. It was so classic that later people followed suit and paid tribute to it.
I was surprised that Burton would make this film. Although he has always been a tough guy in Hollywood, he really rarely acts in action movies.
But this is also a good thing, that is, his acting skills in this film are obviously much better than ordinary action movie stars, with more emotion and tension. Not to mention Wenxi, he will no longer have the phenomenon of excessive force when he was young, and his acting skills have improved too much.
He no longer needs to rely solely on his eyes in this play. The same flushed face and squinted eyes, a painful look of heatstroke in the sweltering heat of the desert, in the 57th edition of "A Generation of the King Alexander", it was dumb and spiritless, and in "The Goose Squad", it was always outstanding.
You must know that in "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Castle" (the box office champion of the year) in 68, he still acted mainly by eyes. At first he appeared in the dark cabin with Eastwood, and both of them were both silent. When there is no expression, his eyes are very content, glowing with a faint cold light under the bad light, and he is abnormally stealing the spotlight.
Burton in "Wild Goose" is really old, but this is not sad.
Because he has a lion-like kingly spirit when he is old, and the vicissitudes of life on his face are like the scars on the face of the lion king. This is the medal he has fought gloriously.
At the beginning of the film, the way he appeared on stage was also unexpected to me. He was sitting in an inconspicuous corner wrapped in a dark windbreaker, with white temples and exhaustion. With gouty arthritis, he is holding a wine bottle in his hands that is not very bright. But when he raised his head, it was like a lion king waking up from his deep sleep.
This is an old man who has been eroded by alcohol from the outside to the inside. He was once beautiful and depressed. However, before the ending of "Drunk drunk lying on the roadside and dying" (the lines in this film), or "Like a drunk poet dying in the gutter when he vomited" (real Chinese), there will always be What goal made this man, who had never been plain before, suddenly awakened from his drunken state.
At this time, he will regain the glory of his life, the accumulation of his life, and concentrate the last strength, let life burst out with the most dazzling brilliance.
Nearly 40 years have passed in a blink of an eye. Hollywood has produced too many films of this kind of subject, but the commercial taste is strong, and there is no such an acting master who can dominate an era.
The protagonists have sold their muscles to show their fists and spears, and they can be as cool as they are. As a result, batches of dazzling commercial film stars have emerged. Only him is what they can't imitate and can't copy.
Even though he is dressed strictly from beginning to end, he is stingy about any exposed flesh; even if he does not have a bronzed skin, his body is obviously decayed and not tyrannical, but he still has the power of a king, and he is not angry and arrogant. .
He played the once brutal and fierce anarchist, a mercenary leader who only works for money, without any great goals and noble realms, so hard and full of blood, so happy and enmity.
The reason why the classics are eternal must be so.
