The number one cinema understands Miss (topcinema original, strictly prohibited to reprint)
Some future stars may be hidden in a play you have watched, and even become a director one day, hiding behind the camera and continuing to surprise you. One day, maybe you will suddenly realize: it was him!
Today, I would like to recommend such an interesting actor: Paul Dano.
Born in 1983, he has good luck in the film and television industry: he played with the oscar-winning daniel Day Lewis in "Blood Is Coming", acted in many good films, nominated for the British Academy Film Award for Best Supporting Actor, Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and so on.
Now, he is also a newcomer director who cannot be underestimated, and his debut film "Wild Life" has been shortlisted for the Golden Camera Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
He, who has completed the upgrade from a small piece of fresh meat to an all-round filmmaker.
(Paul Dano, right, with the actors from Wild Life)
The year 2018 that just passed was a leap forward for Paul Dano.
At the just-held Golden Globes ceremony, the American drama "Escape from Denimola", based on a real and bizarre prison escape case, received multiple nominations based on a real event: two criminals sexually bribed female staff of a prison in the United States, and then escaped, one was injured and arrested, and one was killed.
Miss Understand has recommended it before, and the drama is currently 8.2 points in Douban.
Paying attention to the play, some viewers were attracted by the real prison escape case told by the show, and some of them noticed the two major stars of the show, in addition to the acting actress Patricia Aquete, and the Cannes film emperor Benicio del Toro. Among them, Patricia Aquet also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Limited Drama/Television Movie (winner of the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series).
However, another male protagonist has also been noted, namely Paul Dano (pictured below), who plays David Sweet, a sex briber and prison escapee.
Unlike the previous styling in various films, in the play, Paul Dano not only grew a beard, but also gained a lot of weight, although he did not have the youthful handsomeness of his youth, but it made him fit well with the role and his acting skills improved a lot.
Speaking of which, the first thing that comes to mind about Paul Dano is the 2007 Oscar-winning hit movie "Little Miss Sunshine.".
In the film, he plays his somewhat autistic and rebellious older brother Devien, a follower of Nietzsche, and in order to be an air force for nine months without saying a word to his family, in order to succeed, he exercises his muscles, however, he finds himself colorblind and disqualified from being an air force.
For this role, Paul Dano tried not to speak at home. However, he later found out that (shut up and not speak) was so difficult.
Paul Dano's difference gradually made him the darling of independent films.
Paul Dano, as everyone knows, may have been just an actor, but in high school, he founded the cherry revision band, served as the lead singer and guitarist of another band, and traveled to New York to chase his musical dreams.
After graduation he came to New York from Connecticut with the band. However, the harsh reality quickly poured cold water, and Paul Dano once went to McDonald's for a job, but was rejected without exception, but fortunately he finally gritted his teeth and persevered.
In a way, though, he did give up on his music because his acting abilities surpassed his musical talents.
Paul Dano loved the stage at an early age, and he also reached the Broadway stage and performed two of Dickens's plays.
Moreover, Paul Dano has long been associated with independent films.
At the age of 17, Paul Dano starred in the independent film "Long Island Mystery". As the protagonist for the first time, he plays Howie, who has lost his family care. In the film, Howie loses her mother and does not get the care of her father, and has inexplicable feelings for a boy named Gary.
Paul Dano was very good at this "niche" role from the beginning, obviously a very difficult role, but he performed very well, and this first appearance surprised many people. Netizen comments: Paul Dano's acting skills and talent are truly amazing!
Despite his artistic talent, Paul Dano loved to play "perverts". Yes, he has unique tastes and never plays the role of "sunny normal person".
In 2004, Paul Dano played Gina Rowlands' son in the thriller Mobile Killing led by Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke, an impressively hidden psychopathic murderer character.
Even with two big-name actors, Paul Dano's performance is no less impressive.
After that, Paul Dano began to be recognized by more people.
In 2007, in the film "Blood Is Coming" starring Daniel Day Lewis, he starred in an extremely crazy and hypocritical priest, with amazing explosive power, and the Oscar was not inferior, and some people even felt that he should be nominated for an Oscar for his outstanding performance.
However, there is no Paul Dano who has no intention of developing into a commercial blockbuster, but instead he continues to take on many independent films, showing the style of a spoiled general, and these roles are more "unique".
In Young And Powerful, Paul Dano plays a star with a somewhat eccentric temper.
In "Tamako", he plays an animal protector with a somewhat paranoid personality and an unsociable personality.
In Swiss Army Knife Man, spend a lonely desert island life with the corpse played by "Harry Potter" Daniel Radcliffe.
Paul Dano honed his acting skills through these independent films, and this artistic temperament in him attracted the love of many directors.
What he has achieved the most is a "Man in the Book of Love". In the film, Paul Dano perfectly portrays Kevin's lonely and divided spiritual world, and in his dreams, he fictionalizes an ideal girlfriend ruby for himself, while in reality, Paul Dano and screenwriter and heroine Zoe Kazan are real lovers.
There have been few reports of them, and the two fell in love in 2007 by starring in the play "What We Want" and are still very affectionate to this day.
In 2018, Paul Dano made his film debut, Wild Life, officially joining the ranks of independent directors, and the screenwriter is also his girlfriend Zoe Kazan. In the film, Jack Gyllenhaal, Carey Mulligan, and Ed Oxenbold work together to play a broken family story.
The first time as a director, the film's score on Douban reached 7.3 points, which was a very good result, and many people were impressed by Paul Dano's directing skills. Some netizens commented: This is actually Paul Dano's directorial debut, it is actually a directorial debut, and the last scene is simply amazing, so like it.
The story in the film is mainly based on Joey, played by Ed Oxenbold, to look at the changes in parents and family.
In the film, Joey's precocious puberty is painful, his father's incompetence makes him flee home and choose the dangerous profession of going to the forest to fight fires, while his mother is looking for someone else, Joey has to spy on his mother and lover indoors, discover all the unusual things in life, and try to get life back on track.
Joey's maturity is different, endowed by Paul Dano, who can show such a wonderful film in the first directorial work, which fully reflects Paul Dano's directing ability.
Actor Paul Dano, the darling of independent films, has finally entered the independent film industry as a director.
A talented film young man, the future can be expected.
