Kate Blanchett says she didn't even think about being a movie actress in the first place.
The first time she was on the big screen was when she was 18 years old and traveled to the UK alone with a backpack, and had to leave the UK because her visa expired. In Cairo, Egypt, I met a conscripted extra: a movie called Kaboria that required a group of performers singing and dancing under the boxing ring. She went. Funny enough, now on IMDB, the film's lead actor is the first to prominently write CATE BLANCHETT, playing the blonde cheerleader.
And her own thoughts at the time were:
"After graduating from drama school, I worked in theater, and at first I didn't expect to become a film actor."
What she loves is the performance itself. While attending The Guardian's College for Women in Melbourne, she fell in love with theatre. Her love is different, not just playing. She became the head of the school's drama club, writing and acting in comedy-themed plays. She was already a grandfather: wearing a suit and tie, dressed like a boy, and shaving her hair. Her idol at the time was Anne Lennyx. She went to the University of Melbourne to study, originally majoring in art history and economics, but because she was fascinated by theater, she did not stop and transferred to the Australian National Academy of Dramatic Arts. Then the opening scene happened.
She was so poor at the time, poor in a room with brick walls, only willing to drink one cup of coffee a day. She set herself a five-year deadline: to change careers if she couldn't get mixed up in the theater world. In fact, her first stage play, Top Girls, was well received, and her Kafka Dance won the Sydney Theatre Award for Best Newcomer.
But drama really isn't very profitable.
So she still had to go to the movie.
Because of this, it was too late for her to become famous in the film industry:
She was 28 years old when Oscar and Lucinda received her two nominations for Best Actress at the Australian Film Institute Awards and the Australian Film Critics Association Awards: and that was only her fourth film — certainly not counting the cameo in Egypt. She became famous when "Old Joy Is Like a Dream" won her the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Supporting Actress.
But she never stopped doing two things.
Once it starts, it's out of control.
Hijah Gappe said of Kate Blanchett's performance in Oscar and Lucinda: "She's new, but she's versatile and can play all the complex roles. Maybe the appearance is reversed, but when needed, it can become very beautiful in an instant. ”
At the age of 29, Kate Blanchett played Elizabeth, the queen role. The British have always been picky, and let a 29-year-old Australian woman play the queen, which is even more picky nose and eye. But Director Gapper's vision is right: she is changeable and can burst into beauty when needed.
And, this is Kate's first time playing the Queen.
Kat Blanchett was never fully engaged, never stopping. She hadn't made a biopic, but it didn't matter. She hired teachers to teach classical English, she studied a lot of biographies, and she went to museums to see portraits and portraits. She lost weight, she bleached eyelashes and eyebrows. Shaving the hair on the front half of the top of her head is tough for many actresses, but it's a piece of cake for her to shave her head at every turn. The film finally won the 71st Academy Award for Best Makeup, and it is conceivable that Kate has to face a lot of complicated and gorgeous makeup every day, but she admits it.
We all know: for Best Actress alone, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Dramatic Film, the British Academy Film Award, the Chicago Film Critics Association Award, the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, the Toronto Film Critics Association Award, and so on. Nominations include the Academy Award for Best Actress, the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress, and the National Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress. And, three years later, when the Lord of the Rings needed the elf queen, Kalan Trier, she was expected to return.
Subtly, just when she was already queen, she also played a shaved female fugitive in "Rush to Heaven", speaking Italian, and then going to play an Irish female journalist in "Scoop"—without stopping, she even moved to Ireland to figure out the role, so that she could speak Irish in the movie. The work earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Dramatic Film. That is: whether it is acting in historical biographies or modern real people, the Golden Globe Awards recognize her.
This magical crossover performance has continued: in 2004's The Flyer, she played Catherine Hepburn and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. The following year, she ran back to Australia to take over the local independent production and limited release of the movie "Little Fish", playing a drug rehabilitated woman.
We felt like she was born to play the queen, to play the elf queen. Yet she loves to play all sorts of weird roles: housewives, fugitives, spies, teachers, psychics, pioneers, queens, rock singers, ace journalists, Hollywood classic actresses. She can speak Italian lines and speaks English in a variety of accents, including Irish, Russian, German, British and French. She can even play men:
In "Rock 'n' Roll Apocalypse", she went back to play Bob Dylan, won the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, and incidentally became one of the three roles in the history of the Academy Awards to be nominated for the reverse string.
David Finch says she "not only knows the ins and outs of her character, but also knows the lines of everyone's character and will contribute to the advancement of the work." Ignalitu also said that "only Kate can convey an interesting message even if she is lying on the floor." The audience has to care about the characters, and Kate can create that resonance. Complexity can always be simplified, and any level is precious." Director Sam Remy commented that Kate had "the ability to hold the whole play on her own."
What she loves, it seems, is just the performance itself. Cate Blanchett says acting is like going back to a friend's house at age 12, being able to stay up in the middle of the night and having the opportunity to do things you wouldn't normally do.
"If I had the choice, I would like to die in the rehearsal room."
This is what it means to go all out and love with all your heart. One does not do, two do not stop. Whatever role, she has to do the extreme.
Originally, it was a draft for Douban & Armani Si perfume, but I just thought that this picture was really beautiful, so I put it casually.
