"The Shawshank Redemption" is a movie that many people have seen, and this movie can be said to be a classic among classics.
Although the protagonist of the film was originally white, everyone seemed to be more impressed by the old black actor Morgan Freeman.
In fact, Morgan Freeman, who debuted on June 1, 1937, debuted very early and starred in his first work in 1971.
However, when he was young, he was limited by his skin color and appearance, and he did not become popular, but suddenly became popular when he was almost fifty years old. That's why we see him on screen as an old man forever.
With 1989's "Driving for Miss Daisy" and 1994's "Shawshank Redemption", two early works also received Oscar nominations for Best Actor, he can be regarded as a late actor.
After the broadcast of "The Shawshank Redemption", Morgan Freeman's image of a wise man was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and since then, most of the characters he has portrayed in the film are masters such as wise men, gods, big men, and presidents. Coupled with his low and magnetic voice, many Chinese audiences feel that he is the appearance of Jesus and God in people's minds.
To say that the acting morgan Freeman is indeed a first-class actor, he won the American Film Academy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010, arguably the greatest black actor ever in Hollywood.
Morgan Freeman first started from acting drama, and solid acting skills and acting skills are also the basis for his ability to achieve great success.
A look at Morgan Freeman's personal introduction shows that his classic filmography and awards are numerous.
Especially after he became famous in the later period, the actors he worked with were all hollywood first-class stars.
For example, the action thriller Chain Reaction, starring Keanu Reeves and Rachel Vichy.
Co-starring Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow and others in the thriller suspense film "Seven Deadly Sins".
Feature film Million Dollar Baby co-starring with Clint Eastwood and Hillary Swank
The fantasy crime action movie "Wanted" co-starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy and others
Sci-fi suspense film "Transcendental Hacker" co-starring Johnny Depp and Rebecca Hauer and others
It is reasonable to say that Morgan Freeman, who is already in his eighties, should be able to retire, but surprisingly, on May 2, 2018, the US media exposed that there were multiple women accusing Morgan Freeman of misconduct or sexual harassment on the set and in places such as production companies or film promotions.
Morgan Freeman immediately responded to the incident with a brief apology statement on the same day, expressing his apology, saying it was not his intention.
Obviously, this statement does not seem convincing, but in the end, the sexual harassment scandal was dismissed due to insufficient testimony.
But although the incident was not conclusively confirmed, it still had a great negative impact on Morgan Freeman. His perfect human image in this life can also be regarded as a complete collapse.
