Godfather beyond bondage: Al Pacino

Yes, Al Pacino (Al Pacino 1940-4-25) deserves this golden award. In his film career of more than 30 years, he was nominated for six Oscars, but all of them passed him by. 1993 competed for best actor and best supporting actor with two works. His chances are twice as good as others, and he performed so well. Isn't it unreasonable not to win the lottery again?

There is no doubt that Al Pacino's performance in A Woman's Fragrance beautifies this unsatisfactory film. In the film, he plays a tragic hero with a strong character, Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slay, who was the chief of staff of US President Zhan Sen. However, because he often acted rashly and drank heavily, he lost many opportunities to be promoted to the general, so that he drank too much in the military school class, accidentally detonated the bomb, became blind, and became a life loser living in his niece's house in the countryside. He didn't want to endure this lonely, boring and aimless life any more, so he planned to go back to new york to enjoy a luxurious trip and then shoot himself. However, the commander's wishful thinking was changed by the intervention of pure college student Charlie. Charlie sticks to moral principles like a silly goose. Even at the risk of being expelled from school, he never betrays his friends. This emotion touched the lieutenant colonel who didn't trust others, only lived in the dark world and thought he had no survival value. He took the initiative to defend Charlie's behavior, and made a generous speech in front of thousands of teachers and students at Bode College, which finally saved Charlie from being expelled from the school and found his future life goal for himself.

The whole movie can be said to be tailored for the role of Lieutenant Colonel Slay played by Al Pacino, and Al Pacino really performed a dazzling look for the role of Lieutenant Colonel Slay. For example, the first scene in which the Lieutenant Colonel appeared in the dark room was already ahead. I saw pacino drinking in a chair from beginning to end, but with his meticulous sense of touch and smell, he showed the inferiority and arrogance of the blind. With aggressive dialogue and tough tone, he cried and highlighted the arrogance of the lieutenant colonel, scaring Charlie who came to apply for the job to flee. However, with the development of the plot, Lieutenant Colonel's character strengths and charming characteristics gradually emerged, including: guessing the brand and user's characteristics of perfume through the smell of perfume (this design is similar to Dr. Li in The Silence of the Lambs); Dance a wonderful tango with a strange beauty on the dance floor of a luxury restaurant; Blindly driving a Ferrari sports car to turn; Of course, you should also care about Charlie's problems and stand up and solve them for him. Pacino devoted himself to performing the role of the blind with his professional acting training. His gesture is amazing, and it also makes people feel the inner sadness of this hopeless hero. Norman Jefferson, a famous Hollywood director who worked with Al Pacino on Brave Deep Water Bomb, praised pacino's role as the blind lieutenant colonel in A Woman's Fragrance as an extraordinary performance-I have never seen anyone pretending to be blind and acting so vividly.

As for movie mogul Game, which was nominated by Al Pacino for Best Supporting Actor, this work with completely different style and content gave pacino another brand-new performance space. Based on a Broadway play, this film is written by David Mamie, who is a hot figure in Hollywood in recent years (representative works include Unselfish, Casino, Super Giant and so on). ), and is famous for its compact and aggressive dialogue. The story describes that in order to improve the performance, a housing agency company specially sent a consultant deus ex from the head office, and whoever had the worst performance among the salesmen was swept out of the house. As a result, several veterans in the company tried their best to increase their performance and even pretended to be thieves to steal the list of new customers of the company. The salesman played by Al Pacino has the best performance. He doesn't have to steal, he just needs to cheat. He adopts a circuitous promotion method of taking the retreat as the advance, and when facing new customers, he doesn't mention the sales of real estate at all. He just talks about the philosophy of life with a sincere attitude that seems to have his heart out, and vigorously promotes his philosophy of not playing cards according to the rules. When the customer has unconsciously fallen into his own ideological circle, he inadvertently turned out a real estate profile and forced the prey into a trap, thus completing a transaction of hundreds of thousands.

Al Pacino's performance in "Tycoon Game" is a calm general style, unlike the role in "Xiangpo", which has to show his teeth directly. Jack Mona Lee, who plays opposite pacino most in the film, is recognized as an outstanding senior actor in the film industry, with outstanding performance from the early comedy Friends to the later realistic and ethical films. The down-and-out salesman in the tycoon game made him the winner of 1992 Venice Film Festival. However, he praised Al Pacino as one of the best actors in the world. It is obvious that pacino's acting skills can stand the test.

In fact, Al Pacino (60 years old) seems to be in an "old luck" now. His development in acting career was not smooth sailing, and even he almost disappeared from the position of an actor for a while, because he was severely repaired by critics on the screen and Broadway stage. Fortunately, he survived because he had confidence in the performance.

Drama is something I care about and a guide to my professional life. Pacino said: The point is that you have to get through it. One must transcend one's own bondage, otherwise, what is the pleasure of going to heaven? I think if you really do it, everything will be as you wish. You just have to go ahead and see what happens. Failure is certainly a painful thing. My friend Charles Laughton once said in his poem: I have confidence in myself and I will overcome everything.

Obviously, Al Pacino has now overcome everything and embarked on a smooth road. But where did his confidence come from? I think it comes from pacino's 40-year acting career and professional acting training.

Al Pacino was born on April 25th, 1940 in East Harlem, new york. His parents are Italian, but they divorced when he was two years old. Since then, he has lived with his mother and grandparents. When I was a child, pacino often went to the movies with his mother. When he got home, he tried to show it to his grandfather and let his family share the joy of watching movies. When he was only eleven or twelve years old, all the children nearby called him an actor. From then on, he promised to develop on the road of drama performance.

In high school, pacino entered Manhattan High School, which is famous for performing arts, but dropped out of school to work at the age of 17. After earning enough money, he entered the Herberbekoff studio, which is famous for its method performance, and studied acting for two years. After graduation, he began to hone his acting skills on the stage in off broadway. At the age of twenty-six, pacino played a psychopath in off broadway's play "Indians Want to Play Nick International Studios" and won the off broadway Obi Award for Best Actor for the first time. This award finally opened the door for pacino to Broadway and Hollywood.

1969, Al Pacino appeared on the movie screen for the first time. Her debut was a low-budget popular drama "The Trouble of the Notre Dame", which was not very successful. However, in his Broadway play "Does a tiger wear a tie?" Played a drug-addicted psychopath in the film, but won the Tony Award for Best Actor. This award brought pacino another movie role, playing an addict in "Mandarin Duck in the Sea of Poison" (7 1)! Of course, the film didn't succeed. It was not until The Godfather (72) appeared that Al Pacino really became a rising star in Ran Ran.

Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino in The Godfather and The Godfather's Sequel (74), is an unforgettable classic in film history. He changed from an innocent college student to the second generation godfather of the underworld, and he was the protagonist of two films. Pacino's performance was mature and steady, but the real light was taken away by Marlon Brando, who made a comeback in the last episode, and Roberto Dinilo, who appeared in the sequel. At the same time, pacino's short stature is quite similar to that of dustin hoffman who became popular in The Graduate and Midnight Cowboy at that time, so that some viewers mistakenly thought he was Hoffman. Therefore, in those years, several excellent works starring Al Pacino, including Conflict (73) and Hot Afternoon (75), were all mediocre in sales, not caused by the two episodes of The Godfather. Since then, pacino has successively staged several poor works, including the platitudes romantic movie Love in the Sunset (77), the gay gangster movie Cruise in the Tiger's Mouth (80), the funny comedy Tell the Judge (82) and the excessively vulgar violent movie Scarface (83), and his reputation is declining day by day. However, what really gave him a fatal blow was the "revolution" (85). This masterpiece of French revolutionary history directed by hugh hudson, the director of Chariots of Fire, is a mess. A big production of $28 million, the box office record in the US market is less than1100,000! As a result, Al Pacino, the hero, became a street rat in Hollywood and disappeared from the screen for four years.

How did Al Pacino spend the low tide of his acting career? First of all, he made the film "Local Stains" for an hour, and only took it to the Museum of Modern Art for a small audience. After that, he returned to Broadway to perform stage plays, including Julius Caesar, Richard III and Paloham Basic Training, which won the Tony Award.

After four years of adjustment, Al Pacino finally made a comeback with the thrilling murder romance The Executioner of Passion (89). Actress ellen barkin's charming and passionate performance in the film attracted many young audiences, and let veteran Al Pacino take this opportunity to let a new generation of movie audiences know him. Later, in the comic film Dick Tracy (90), pacino dressed as a villain leader and a big boy, which won warm applause from film critics and audiences, and was far ahead of dustin hoffman in the same makeup performance. Then, in order to make money and pay off debts, director Coppola announced the filming of the third episode (90) of The Godfather, and finally put Al Pacino, 50, back into the spotlight. Although the sales of this film are not as good as expected, pacino has firmly established himself as a superstar.

In the 1990s, Al Pacino once again shined on the screen. After Sex, Love and Hamburg (9 1), this literary film hit a first base, followed by Tycoon Game, and then hit a second base, and it was a very powerful home run in Women's Fragrance.

However, Al Pacino's first role after winning the prize turned out to be Carriedo in Corner of the Wind, a reformed gangster who made the same mistakes in the Godfather series. Brian Dipama, the director of this film, once worked with Al Pacino on Scarface. The second cooperation is to improve the level of gangster movies. Although the final result is not entirely ideal, Al Pacino's style as a winner really benefited the film.
