We often emotionally fall in love with a movie because of a person, and Al Pacino (1940-present) is such a charismatic spokesperson. Whether it is a tragic gangster, an unforgivable Scarface Star, a dehumanizing demon king Satan, a shrewd detective who persists in brutality, or a dictatorial, wild and violent, lonely and grotesque, cynical... His sharp eyes, emotional body language, dramatic monologues and explosive performances always make the audience in a situation unable to extricate themselves. For half a century, this performance artist, who is both right and evil and not angry and arrogant, has gradually become a drama god who is worshipped by Hollywood.
He sat in the darkness, and the darkness began to speak
"People always compare me to other people, I listen but never take it seriously. Only Pacino, I personally think he is definitely the most elegant actor of our generation. Robert De Niro said of Pacino.
Pacino, who only made his debut in 1971, won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor the following year for "The Godfather", ushering in the most brilliant 70s of his acting career. After becoming famous, he has always adhered to the concept of "not being a star, only being an actor", and only looking at the quality of the script and never considering commercial elements when casting.
The elegance of the Corleone family is carved into the bones
So, with the exception of "The Godfather II," most of the works we see in Al Pacino's list of films are works like "Conflict" and "Hot Day Afternoon", which are based on real events and reflect reality. It is also these unique roles that make Pacino, who has just entered the film industry, nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for three consecutive years.
The alternation of the old and new godfathers
Some people say that Pacino's success is due to the promotion of directors such as Coppola and Sidney Lumet, but if you think of his youth, he can spark with the top actors such as Marlon Brando and John Keizer, and you have to admire his potential to be strong in the face of strength.
This second kills all eyes
Michael Mann said, "Pacino is an untraceable acting genius. But Beverly Deanjilo, who bore him twins, doesn't think so, "He doesn't spend less time in the mirror every day than I do, and each time he's figuring out how to perform a situation in forty different ways." In this way, Pacino, who is talented and persistent, has become more and more pure in acting.
During the dance, I cried three times
In the 1990s, because of the realistic artistic value of the movie "Smelling the Woman", he finally reached the top on the occasion of the eighth nomination and won the first little gold man in his life. At this time, Al Pacino's name and influence also went far beyond the connotation of "movie emperor". In the next typical Hollywood "old and young match", far from the golden years of the 1970s, he became a mentor to promote new people. Sean Pan in Dawn of the Lovers, Johnny Depp in The Faithful, and Colin Farrell in The Trickster all lament his dramatic performances, and no one can really compete with him. Even George Clooney couldn't help but tremble when he met Pacino in "The Thirteen Arhats", "Seeing your mood is like seeing Brando!" ”
Smell the most perfect picture of a woman
Even though Pacino is in his eighties, he is still the godfather of methodism in the eyes of fans; even if he has never given any woman identification, he is still the ideal lover of tenderness in the eyes of women; even if he is affirmed by the American Film Association Lifetime Achievement Award, he still passionately declares that "aging is not a reason for success, and to this day, the desire to perform is still burning in my heart like a fire." ”
