Oscar winner Brandon Fisher starred in those classic films

Author of this article: Li Xiaotian

A former actor Brandon Fisher, who has been in the industry for many years but has never been concerned by the Oscar, has super unexpectedly achieved a salted fish turnover, and won the 95th Oscar with the film "Whale", which is really shocking and full of uproar.

Many fans can't help but ask:

Who is he?

Why is he?

What has he starred in?

Good question.

Brandon Fisher is not new, and it is easy to answer who he is. Starring what, it's also very good to answer. That's who, who has starred in "The Mummy" and "Tarzan", as far as he, the tall and strong buddy, he is Brandon Fisher. Oh!

As for Brandon Fisher, why did this buddy win the award? This site has already written two articles:

Brandon Fisher won the Oscar, planting the seeds in this film 17 years ago

However, in addition to "The Mummy" and "Tarzan of the Apes", when asked what other well-known films Brandon Fisher has acted, most people will be stunned. Because there are not many films worth watching starring this new Oscar actor, except for the Oscar for Best Picture "Crash", it is indeed lackluster.

But lackluster doesn't mean there isn't.

I also searched for good quality films starring Brandon Fisher after he won the award, and I tried to find everything I could find. Also because I have to brush the film, this article came out a little late.

In chronological order, let's plate it up.

Although around 1991, Brandon Fisher as a newcomer has launched films such as "The Verdict of Not Guilty" and "Sleeping Giant", the first work that starred and was officially remembered was released in 1992's "School Vice". Moreover, in terms of filming, "School Vice" is also Fisher's real debut.

"Campus Storm" is also a very magical work, which at that time belonged to a typical three-nil work, unknown actors, unknown directors, unknown screenwriters, everywhere it was like a small production of the grass team. But after its release, it successfully set off a wave and became a movie hit at that time.

Then again, Stanley Jaffe, the producer of "School Vice," is not unknown. He successfully launched Sean Penn and Tom Cruise as early as 1982 with "Lights Out", a bit of the current Jiao Xiongping.

Also because of Stanley Jaffe, "School Vice" suddenly collected many potential newcomers at that time, including Brandon Fisher, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Chris O'Donnell, Cole Hauser and others. Looking back now, these are all a bunch of big coffees later. Brandon Fisher won the Oscar. Ben Affleck won two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. Matt Damon also has an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and won the Golden Globe actor. Cole Hauser continues to have excellent works in hand with films such as "Yellowstone" and is still active in the first line.

Chris O'Donnell looked at the smaller grades, but he was the first of them to become popular, and during the filming of "School Vice", he won the contract of "Smell and Know Women", partnered with Al Pacino, and it was a storm. Then, he got the role of "Robin" in "Batman and Robin", which was very popular for a while in the 1990s.

Therefore, "School Vice" is a very magical work. After its release in 1992, it also successfully caused a heated discussion among teenagers in the United States. Moreover, the handsome costumes of several leading actors have even been imitated for a while, and the topic is more popular than the "Quite Ju theme" in the film.

Indeed, the bloody campus, overflowing friendship, and boiling youth in "Campus Vice" are all fascinating, and this film does not look too outdated so far.

Brandon Fisher is the male number one in "School Vice". He played the protagonist in his first debut, and Fisher's starting point is not low.

"Campus Vice" is a typical campus youth film. It's about what happened in the pre-college class, and people today don't understand what the prep class is. To put it bluntly, although not a college student, concentrate on studying, and then concentrate on the university exam, one step away from university. This group of children is in a state of stepping in the door before entering the university, life is facing choices, character is also facing tests, where to go, quite interesting.

Among them, Brandon Fisher performed quite well, performing that subtle sense of being out of place and always wandering outside the mainstream. Being Jewish, I was careful to protect myself in an era of anti-Semitism. So, although I look at others tall, my mind is meticulous, and there is a natural contrast cute, which is quite interesting. Stubbornness in youth, Fisher handled it quite well.

What is more interesting is that the villain played by Matt Damon is particularly stylish and very outstanding, and has become the two highlights of the film with Fisher, or even better. Moreover, Mada did start from "School Vice", was excavated, and then began to ponder acting skills, and then launched the more influential "Mind Catcher", and became a Hollywood first-line celebrity.

As for Ben Affleck, there was not much room for performance, not very good, but by that time he had already established a deep friendship with Mada, and together with Cole Hauser, plus Cassie Affleck, formed a foursome and jointly created "Mind Catcher".

Brandon Fisher since "School Vice", as a well-known Hollywood newcomer, as a supporting role with Joe Pesci starred in "Dr. Beggar" (1994), in another female-dominated film "Childhood Pact" (1995), the performance is good, both films have a Douban score of 8.0, both are good. It's just that the resources are not easy to find, and I didn't deliberately look for them, so I won't talk about it.

During this period, as a starring actor, he starred in several works such as "Rock Story" (1994), "Trembling Woman" (1995), "Sparrow Becomes Phoenix" (1996) and so on, with low scores, belonging to the category of bad films and can be ignored.

In 1997, Brandon Fisher's brilliant work "Tarzan of the Apes" (then translated as "Tarzan of the Forest").

As the first English-language writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, Kipling's The Book of the Jungle holds an important place in English literature. The story of "Tarzan" has been filmed in Hollywood as early as the 1930s. In 1967, Disney filmed "Prince of the Forest", which made "Tarzan" a classic image in film history.

In 1994, Disney launched a live-action version of "Prince of the Forest" ("Tarzan"), starring Chinese actor Jason Scott Lee, which caused quite a stir and was well received. The 1997 version of "Tarzan of the Forest" is both a reboot of Lee's truncated version and a sequel.

In the story in the Lee cut-off version, "Tarzan" is obviously younger and belongs to the teenage version, and the version starring Brandon Fisher is more adult. The Lee cut-off version is a live-action version of the animated version of the movie, while the Brandon Fisher version is a live-action version of the animated TV series version of the 1960s-1970s, and the rhythm and character modeling of the film are biased towards the TV series version, humorous and light, and the rhythm is relaxed.

Crucially, Brandon Fisher truly became famous and possessed the ability to navigate front-line commercial productions. Therefore, the importance of this film to Fisher is self-evident.

Of course, to watch "Forest Tarzan" again with the current eyes, basically except for selling meat, showing muscles, there is nothing else, the limitations of the times are still obvious, and there is no need to delve into it.

With "Tarzan of the Forest", Brandon Fisher won the contract of "The Mummy", and officially launched the first "Mummy" two years later in 1999.

This is an out-and-out film and television classic, and it is also the first peak of Brandon Fisher's film history, and it can't be blown over. It was also this film that made Brandon Fisher officially become a Hollywood superstar and entered the top.

In 2001, he also successfully launched the sequel "The Mummy Returns", which continued to sell. Interestingly, in this sequel, the current Hollywood first muscle man "Dwayne Johnson" is still only a supporting role with few roles in the film. However, because this supporting role Scorpion King was played quite well by Johnson, he also won the shooting of the spin-off movie of "The Mummy Gaiden" "Scorpion King".

As a serious story, "The Mummy 3" was launched late in 2008, but unfortunately it has reached the end of the crossbow, and despite the joining of Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh and others, it has unfortunately become a bad film.

This year's Oscar actor Brandon Fisher and actress Michelle Yeoh have officially cooperated in "The Mummy 3". Two actors who have never been faced squarely by the Oscars, suddenly proved together, salted fish turned over together, and there is also a good story of cooperation.

On the eve of the release of the eye-opening "The Mummy", Brandon Fisher also made a literary masterpiece, namely "Gods and Beasts", which is very worth talking about and is an overlooked unpopular masterpiece.

To ask Brandon Fisher before "Whale", the best quality film in the film he participated in was undoubtedly "Crash". But the embarrassment of "Crash" is that this is a group movie, and Brandon Fisher's performance in the film can only be considered decent, not outstanding. And "Gods and Beasts" is the best acting performance before "Whale".

"Gods and Beasts" was released in 1998 and is a classic masterpiece, the acting and story are very good, and it is definitely worth watching.

Starring is a duo of male protagonists, starring Ian McLean and Brandon Fisher. Ian McLean's more famous roles are Gandalf the wizard in The Lord of the Rings, and Magneto in the X-Men series.

Director Bill Condon is also quite famous, and the more well-known films he directed include "Beauty and the Beast", "Professor of Kinsey Sexology", "Dream Girl", "Mr. Holmes", "Twilight 4 Up/Down" and so on. "Gods and the Beast" won Bill Condon an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and then was nominated again for "Chicago".

"Gods and the Beast" not only won director and screenwriter Bill Condon an Oscar, but also made the male protagonist Ian McLean also nominated for the Oscar of that year. In addition, Lynne Redgrave was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Oh, and the winner of that year's best picture was "Shakespeare", the actor was Roberto Bernini ("Life is Beautiful"), the best director was Steven Spielberg ("Saving Private Ryan"), and the best supporting actress was Judy Dench ("Shakespeare"). Some people say that this Oscar is the darkest Oscar ceremony in history, because "Shakespeare" stole too many awards from "Saving Private Ryan", which is a public relations victory for the big gangster Harvey Weinstein.

Because the focus of public opinion is focused on the verbal lawsuits of "Shakespeare" and "Saving Private Ryan". This makes the award for "Gods and Beasts" for best adapted screenplay seem a little silent and not much attention. It's a pity.

"Gods and the Beast" is a biopic by James Whale, the great director who created Frankenstein, telling the story of Wheeler in the last moments of his life in 1957.

James Wyler, as one of the early big directors in Hollywood, in addition to the "Frankenstein" and "Frankenstein's Bride" two-part series, he has also directed "Blue Bridge of Broken Souls", "Hell's Angel", "Painting Xuan Palace", "The Man in the Iron Mask", "The Invisible Man" and other excellent works, a proper first-line guide.

However, by 1957, the aging Wyler had long been abandoned by the times, snubbed Kurama in front of the door, and lived a lonely and boring life.

At this time, he no longer has nostalgia for life and is bent on death. And he focused his goal on the garden gardener he hired at home, that is, the character played by Brandon Fisher.

The gardener, a former Marine who fought in the Korean War, had well-developed limbs and looked like a guy lacking literary and artistic cells. Sure enough, when Wyler greeted him, he had no idea that his employer was a once-famous Hollywood director and knew nothing about his work.

James Wyler, who is gay, teased the little gardener from time to time and asked him to be a model for his paintings.

The little gardener slowly got into the play. Wyler's fundamental purpose is to train the gardener to be a modern version of Frankenstein and guide him to kill himself.

The whole film constantly intersects the modern and the classical, not only to understand Wyler's later life, but also to tell how he made Kenfrantine, and Wyler's film career. As a biopic, the content is huge but not messy, which is quite good.

In this way, the focus of the entire film seems to be focused on James Wyler, played by Ian McLean, and the nomination for the Oscar actor confirms this view. Ian McLean really shines in the film, very much like Al Pacino in "Smell the Woman". It's just that Al Pacino plays a fictional character that can be played openly, while Ian McLean plays a real character, and the role is confined and cannot be played without restrictions.

The story line of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" and "Gods and the Beast" are very similar, both are the stories of the former bosses bent on death. However, Al Pacino's aura in "Smell and Know Women" is too powerful, in contrast, Chris O'Donnell, who plays with him, has a very low sense of existence, and even makes people not feel his presence, it seems that if you change an actor to play it, the effect is the same.

As mentioned above, Chris O'Donnell and Brandon Fisher debuted in "School Vice", but Chris O'Donnell became famous earlier because of "Smell and Know Women". But what I didn't expect was that the same opportunity, Chris O'Donnell used, obviously inferior to Brandon Fisher, Fisher in "Gods and Beasts" compared with O'Donnell, the sense of existence is obviously different.

"Smell the Woman" can continue to be established without Chris O'Donnell, but "Gods and the Beast" cannot be a play without Brandon Fisher. Ian McLean played very well in the film, but Brandon Fisher was not worried, and his performance was also very good, and he even deserved an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Seeing that the character in the film is a very muscular man, but he is also a very self-absorbed muscle man, who has always been interested in James Wyler and carefully protects his straight man, Brandon Fisher has taken out the curiosity and suspicion of the character, and is not a dispensable tool figure at all. Chris O'Donnell is a complete tool man in "Smell the Woman". Brandon Fisher is slightly weaker than Ian McLean, but indispensable, enough to carry Ian McLean alone without losing color, the image is clear, there is delicacy in the thick, it is a test of acting skills, and Fisher's performance is still very good.

Now, I don't know if it's because of "Gods and Beasts" that Brandon Fisher got the role of "The Mummy". I believe there is.

In short, "Gods and Beasts" makes people see that Brandon Fisher is not just a muscle man, but a thinking muscle man. There are muscles, and there are acting skills. Then, the spring that belonged to him came.

Literary films include "Gods and Beasts", commercial films have "The Mummy", and the superstar career can afford both, which is quite good.

Next, he starred in the Oscar for Best Picture "Crash".
