This article is accompanied by images taken from Colin Feith and stills from the film: "BJ's Single Diary", "Ace Agent", "The King's Speech", "Window Of Love", "The Most Poisonous Woman's Heart", "Pride and Prejudice".
Uncle Colin has a nickname, "Weak Chicken Gentleman", which means that the appearance is too Sven, and the hand is not tied to the chicken.
I first met my uncle through BJ's Single Diary in 2001. Throughout the movie, he is quiet, reserved, likes to frown, looks a little cold, and makes people embarrassed when he opens his mouth, in short, it is a strange thing. Compared to Hugh Grant, another British gentleman in the film who is as bright as a crystal wine glass, the barrister is clearly a frosted old silver spoon. But in the end I fell in love with him. Especially at the end, when he and Renee Zellweger are kissing on the street, the audience is as surprised as the heroine to find that the original old-fashioned like him also has a very hot kiss! Renee exclaimed, "Wait a minute, good boys don't kiss like that." The uncle said proudly, "Oh, yes, they fucking do." ("No, they'll be TMD.") ”）
Hum, the key moment burst is our Uncle Colin's unique gentleness. Beneath the iceberg may be a dormant volcano, and the elegant gentleman may also have unexpected surprises.
For example, in the new movie "Ace Agent" in 2015, he and the strange director Matthew Vaughn jointly created a new category of agent movies. Colin plays Agent Hart, who wears a couture suit from beginning to end in London's Savile Street, black-rimmed glasses, Oxford shoes, and a long-handled black umbrella, leaning against a street corner (waiting for women around the world to knock him down). The disturbed Uncle Guinness's dark beer, and he lectured Mao Child with some displeasure: Manners make the man. (Etiquette fulfills the capitalized person). The don't listen, then close the door and beat the dog, use a small and a half black beer cup to accurately hit the bandit, three times five divided by two to clean up the remaining lao, and then drink the beer in the cup - this is the perfect mature man: get on the wine table, get down the boxing ring, the gentleman fights, not only to be able to clean up people, but also to be able to drink gracefully.
Such a courteous and stylish gentleman agent is really handsome!!!
This was his first time in a fight scene, and before Hart's role, he played the image of a mild-mannered British gentleman, such as the 2010 Oscar-winning film The King's Speech, in which he was King George VI with a severe stutter.
The film has few branches and a clean temperament, but the details are very delicately handled, like Rembrandt's oil paintings, with a divine glow under the oppressive tones. A prince who has lost his voice, more peaceful than his father, more calm than his brother, but he can't make his own voice, and in the shadow of loneliness and stuttering, he can't see himself, and he is often crazy about it. The cowardly king did not end up being a genius in speech, but gave a wonderful World War II speech, inspiring the masses and giving himself confidence. What every adult needs to face most is actually the inner unbearable, and this story of sincere self-facing has also brought Colin Feith an Oscar.
So when I learned that the uncle who was most unlikely to go out to fight in the world wanted to take over the action scene, my curiosity exploded.
In order to take over the secret agent movie, the 55-year-old Uncle Colin began a 6-month 3-hour physical training every day, and the crew also sent a former special forces instructor to teach him how to hold a gun, roll over, shoot; and invited weapons experts to guide him how to operate firearms and fill ammunition... When the British gentleman in a straight suit practices a neat leg and foot, the chemistry is really amazing.
An accomplished film actor is also willing to take great pains to transform in the year of knowing his destiny, all because of his childhood dreams. He said he was a fan of James Bond when he was 8 years old, especially fascinated by the crazy and exaggerated villains in the early 007 movies, which is probably why he was willing to accept the challenge.
Every man has a dream of being a bad boy from an early age, and the little boy will usher in the sensitive period of and at the age of five or six, if this stage is suppressed by the original family, there will be a brief madness like American Pie in adolescence. This is a magical history of spiritual growth, but it is real.
Uncle Colin, who is now a gentleman, was also a rebellious bad boy.
He was born in 1960 in England into a relatively conservative family, four people, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, three missionaries, the father of the University of Winchester lecturer, the mother is a well-known lecturer in religious studies at an open university. Such a family can only educate good babies, he recalled in his childhood: "I don't smash the window glass of other people's homes, nor do I fight in groups - if I really fight, I guess I am also the one who was beaten." I chose to read books to escape reality, and reading Dostoevsky, Hardy, and Austin did not have an appetite for me. I like Camus. ”
Colin spent time in Nigeria with his parents as a child, returning to the UK at the age of 5, but soon after returning to St. Louis, USA. Describing that time, he described it as "like an unhappy clown in a bunch of rock and roll players with long hair, out of tune with his surroundings." His parents returned to England for him, but the situation did not improve. The adolescent Colin, in the eyes of others, is a hairy boy who gets into trouble everywhere, dirty and dirty, and proud to death. His studies were incurable, but he was keen to organize rock bands, playing guitar and lead singer himself, and keen to cover songs from the American rock band The Doors... It is rumored that on the day of the British college entrance examination, Colin opened his eyes and cursed a dirty word and fell back to sleep, naturally it is impossible to enter the university. His parents were heartbroken, but he was a little proud, "At that time, I summed up everything as resisting the shackles of the system."
God has left a path for everyone. Colin Feith, who fell in love with acting at the age of 14, eventually enrolled in a private acting school and embarked on the road to acting.
His first film was 1984's Love in the Window, which tells the story of Guy Burgess, one of the "Cambridge Five", who falls in love with the same sex at an aristocratic school, in which Colin plays the male protagonist's best friend, a somewhat stunned nerd. The funny thing is that although he is a straight man in the film, he has been charmed by this movie. But it wasn't until he starred in the movie "Single Man" in 2009, playing a middle-aged teacher who had lost his same-sex partner, that he officially "came out" in the movie.
Many domestic fans fall in love with Uncle Colin because of the six-episode TV series "Pride and Prejudice" in 1995, and he is Mr. Darcy who does not smile. In fact, he was 35 years old, 11 years after he starred in his first movie.
After "Love in the Same Window", he took over the youth film "Dutch Girls", the war film "The Lost Empire", the feature film "Apartment Zero", the suspense film "Killing Machine", and even the classical film "The Most Poisonous Woman's Heart"... But in the British film industry where small fresh meat is piled up, it has not been squeezed into the front line. Hugh Grant, who was the same age as him, once laughed at him, "falling in the pile of people no one recognizes", directly beating Colin's performance to the group level, which made him depressed.
He wanted to give up his career as an actor, especially after falling in love with actress Meg Tilly in 1989 for filming "The Most Poisonous Woman's Heart", and the two spent a period of Walden-style seclusion together.
Meg Tilly had two children before she met Colin, and after the two fell in love, her son Will was born in 1990. One of them did not want to go to the United States to develop, and the other hated the old-fashioned British, and simply ran with his three children to the deserted suburbs of British Columbia to start a carpenter's house. It is said that it is very backward, there is no tv set, except for making furniture, the family lives a secluded and primitive life.
The fairytale romance lasted only 5 years, and when Colin left Canada and returned to England, Meg Tilly left the primeval forest with her three children and went to Los Angeles. Only their youngest son, Will, maintained the bond between the two.
In 1995, the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice saved his career. Unlike Hugh Grant's uninhibited image of a British gentleman, Colin Feith always shows the gentle and decent side of the gentleman. In "Pride and Prejudice", when he plays Mr. Darcy returns from swimming in the lake and meets his sweetheart in a dripping white shirt, at this moment, he is not only fascinated by Elizabeth in the play, but also women all over the world.
Since then, Colin's image of an English gentleman has been fixed, he always plays an arrogant and rigorous man, carrying a fire in his heart, but he can meticulously manage his mood, which is down-to-earth and painful.
In life, he also grew from an unruly bad boy to a good man who was down-to-earth and reliable.
In 1995, when Colin Feith was filming Silvermine Island, he met a young intern assistant, Livia Gigiri, fell in love with her at first sight, and began to pursue her wildly. Livia is Italian, and in order to obtain the consent of the woman's parents, the 35-year-old Colin strives to learn Italian – a complete replay of the plot in "True Love First". Who says the old-fashioned British gentleman is not romantic enough?
He began his second marriage in 1997, after which Uncle Colin was accompanied by Livia at every important time in his life. At the age of 49, he won the Venetian Film Emperor, and did not forget to show love to his wife in Italian when receiving the award: "Italy really treats me not thin." Every time I leave this, I don't leave empty-handed. What used to be taken away was fine wine and food, and later it was the wife and two sons. Now there is another beautiful silverware. "Humorous and warm.
I think the British are a bit of an "axis", like Hugh Grant, who only plays the British and only takes romantic comedies. Uncle Colin is also, since setting the tone of "gentleman", after starring in "The English Patient", "Shakespeare's Love History", "British April Day", "The Girl with Pearl Earrings", "Watery Poplar"... It seems that they are all adding emphasis to their "classical temperament" one by one. He is not in a hurry to break through anything, so he is down-to-earth to himself, adding some new elements at the right time, but creating one surprising chemical reaction after another.
The man didn't really grow up until he was 35, from a boy to a man, and his career was just getting started. Zhang Ailing said that "to be famous early", this is not suitable for him. People's charm blooms sooner or later, some people are fruits, the most delicious at the moment of picking; some people are juices, which need to be mixed and polished; and Uncle Colin is ice wine with a long fermentation cycle, which needs to be quietly sealed, baptized by years, and finally overflowing with aroma.
The latest gossip about Uncle Colling is that he published a paper on brain cognition in Current Biology, a sub-journal of cell, a top international biology academic journal, and together with Reese, a neuroscientist at University College London, developed a study of the association between brain structure and cognition in young people in the UK.
Wow, don't underestimate the old-fashioned British gentleman. They are the Dalmore 62 at the beginning of "Agent King", dripping and sealing the throat.
