Matt Damon, once the Golden Boy of Hollywood

Many people have dreams of overnight fame, but in addition to luck, they should have the strength to back them up to be more complete. When the actor has not been successful, he has the impulse to write a screenplay, and with the joint efforts of his friends, an Oscar best original screenplay came into being, so the actor became famous overnight.

Hollywood is a place of stars, handsome and beautiful women here, but there are not many people who can be called geniuses, and Matt Damon can be said to be one of them. Born in 1970, the Hollywood Golden Boy looks a little far from the word idol, but he has created a Hollywood miracle, even now it seems that Matt Damon's success is a rather dramatic American dream, so let's start from where the dream began.

For many, Harvard University in the United States may be a dream in their hearts, but the young Matt Damon dropped out of school after only three years in this world-renowned university, and he has a new dream, that is, to go to Hollywood to become a best actor. Like everyone who pursues the dream of stardom, Matt Damon's trip to Hollywood hasn't been smooth sailing, and he doesn't even have any films to make. But after years of silence, Matt Damon and his friend Ben Affleck co-created a true Hollywood dream.

Years of effort and failure led Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to write a screenplay together, and Mindcatcher appeared. The script, adapted from English homework, made the two men famous overnight, not only winning the Oscar for original screenplay, but also laying the foundation for their acting careers. Being able to get a foothold in Hollywood with a script is indeed a miracle, and Matt Damon portrays in this film as a mathematical genius who can create miracles. Since then, the name Genius seems to have an indissoluble bond with Matt Damon.

Will, the mathematical genius played by Matt Damon in the play, is extremely intelligent but extremely confused about the future, and in his contact with psychologist Sean, he slowly finds himself. This is a traditional inspirational film, and Matt Damon is facing the famous actor Robin Williams, leaving aside the script, the difficulty of his acting is conceivable. Matt Damon obviously learned a lot of acting tricks from Robin, and interpreted his genius role well with a plain life performance, so Matt Damon's acting skills were fully affirmed, and he also confirmed his strength as an actor to Hollywood.

In the role played by Matt Damon, genius is a fairly important genre. If Mick in "The King of Gamblers" is talented but lacks charm due to the script, then Ripley in "Genius Ripley" is absolutely brilliant. In this film, a remake of Alandron's "Sunshine", Matt Damon plays Ripley, a poor boy who dreams of a luxurious and comfortable life and decides to replace the rich boy Dickie. Matt Damon shows Ripley's calmness and meticulousness in the film, trapping the audience in a game of genius intelligence, and even taking care of the criminal, afraid that he will not be able to hide his sins. Perhaps pandering to a certain notion, a person with strong inferiority must be a genius in some ways, so Ripley, who comes from a poor family, naturally resonates with the audience more than the wandering rich dickey. Matt Damon uses his acting skills to confuse the concepts of good and evil.

If you want to classify it, Matt Damon is undoubtedly a master of acting, which can be seen in his opponents with many powerful actors. In fact, long before the fame of "Mindcatcher", Matt Damon's acting skills have been revealed in a film called "Life and Death". In the film, Matt Damon is not the protagonist, he plays a drug-addicted soldier, for this role, Matt Damon lost forty pounds and had to endure the consequences of this, but he succeeded in portraying the pain of the soldier Elario, and the confrontation with Denzel Washington is also very exciting, and because of this film, he has attracted the attention of the big director Coppola, that is, as the protagonist of "Rainmaker" directed by Coppola.

Matt Damon's success is definitely a manifestation of strength, under the direction of the great director Coppola, he plays a fledgling lawyer who longs for justice, and his inner despair and persistence make the viewer feel moved. "Rainmaker" is a relatively literary film, so Matt's performance, although it is good enough, can not reach the level of box office medicine, and the same year's "Mindcatcher" also has such a factor here. Commercial films were therefore a top priority for Matt Damon, and it just so happened that Saving Private Wren came out, which was enough to bring Matt Damon into the realm of commercial cinema.

There is no doubt that Spielberg and Tom Hanks are almost representative figures of American commercial films, and working with these two people has brought Great opportunities to Matt Damon, and from the perspective of the character setting in the film "Saving Private Renne", the role of Renne, although it cannot be called a full protagonist, its symbolic significance is extremely obvious, and the slaughter of the American humanitarian spirit makes Matt Damon face new challenges. People all over the world have seen Matt Damon's performance in the film and seen his wonderful rivalry with Hanks, so Matt Damon's box office appeal can be said to be fully established.

As we can see, Matt Damon's success is very step-by-step, with each step being solid. From the hard performance in "Life and Death" to the honing of his acting skills under the guidance of Coppola in "Rainmaker", from the Oscars for his self-written "Mindcatcher" to the establishment of box office appeal in "Saving Private Ryan", he has become the most intelligent of many young actors in Hollywood. Hence the performance of "Genius Ripley". After being a first-line movie star, Matt Damon does not seem to be eager to highlight himself, but often stars with other heavyweight movie stars, which makes his position more consolidated.

Perhaps because of the personal relationship, Matt Damon's collaboration with George Clooney was quite close. In Hollywood, although George Clooney is not as good as Tom Hanks, he is undoubtedly also a most intelligent actor, which is very similar to Matt Damon, so Matt Damon has participated in many films starring George Clooney, "Eleven Arhats", "Twelve Arhats", "Cirena" and the newly produced "Thirteen Arhats", there is no doubt that the Rohan series is a standard commercial film, and relies on the power of group drama, so in this series, Everyone has to do something real if they want to shine, and matt Damon's image is no less than that of George, Peter and others.

Matt Damon also played an important role in films such as "Cinrina" and "Confessions of Dangerous Thoughts", which almost labeled George Clooney, which shows Matt Damon's recognition of George Clooney. Of course, as a first-line actor, it is impossible to do without your own representative work, that is, the "Spy Movies" series. For many commercial film fans, the series can be said to be completely Matt Damon label, cold and full of tenacious agent image can be said to be unique even in the history of Hollywood spy films, the film shows a thrilling story with a calm perspective of European films, and Matt Damon's performance undoubtedly plays a crucial role in the rhythm of the film.

If Martin's overweight in "Infinity" weakened Matt Damon's acting skills, then "Brothers Grimm" can be said to be a wrong choice for Matt Damon. The story of "Brothers Grimm" is very creative and refreshing, but Matt Damon's performance can only be regarded as decent and not particularly brilliant, and the slightly comedic image seems to be some distance from the image of Matt in the audience's mind, fortunately, the film is still well received, and Matt has not been affected. In fact, it is difficult to define Matt's role, there are cold agents, genius teenagers, drug-addicted soldiers, justice lawyers and calm Rohans, these mixed characters can be embodied in him alone, perhaps this is the biggest difference between Matt Damon and his friend Ben Affleck.

As a Hollywood A-list actor, Matt Damon's works are actually not many, but almost every one of them can be included in the collection, whether starring or performed by his supporting roles, it can be seen that Matt Damon is indeed a very intelligent actor, more importantly, Matt Damon does not seem to be satisfied with the achievements of an actor, he is still insisting on his own screenwriting career, "Jerry" is a film full of exploration.
