The movie "Pearl Harbor" was released 20 years ago. Affleck and Kate. Beckinsale is firmly on the front line, and the other male protagonist of "Love Triangle", Josh. Hartnett "found no one."
Why didn't the once top Hollywood streams become popular? Why is the gap between Josh, who is worth $25 million, and Josh, who is worth $150 million, getting bigger and bigger?
Let's talk about the pretentious Josh. Josh Hartnett, the first half of his life.
"Pearl Harbor" has a good reputation in China, and Douban is as high as 8 points. However, the Rotten Tomatoes index is only 24%, and the IMDb score is 6.2, which has been rated as "bad film" by many film critics. Although it has been nominated for several mainstream awards, its "achievements" are even more prominent in the field of golden plums. As a money-burning war movie with less than $450 million at the global box office, it is not wrong to say that it has doubled its word-of-mouth box office.
I have to admit that this movie has brought the careers of the three leading actors to the peak. But compared to Affleck, who has won the "Best Screenplay", and the highly acclaimed British Rose, Josh is the biggest winner.
Josh originally had no star dreams, but was forced to leave his beloved rugby career after being injured, and only with the encouragement of his family did he come into contact with drama. With a height of 191 cm and a handsome appearance, Josh has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
Soon with "Pearl Harbor" red to purple, capital favor, invitations poured in. Paparazzi loved him and kept shooting. Fans hungry him and became the new "national husband". But the sudden attention and fame made Josh very uncomfortable, and he allegedly took his bag back to his hometown to hide in order to get away from all this.
If you don't say that people are the top stream, after "disappearing" for a period of time, not only have they not been forgotten, but they have also been smashed into several large cakes. One of them is the role of Superman, but josh rejects it.
The reason is simple, I just don't want to play a superhero. The rest of his life was shaped and bound, and that wasn't what he wanted.
This also explains why Josh pushed out Nolan's "Batman". But Josh's "rash" decision changed his showbiz path.
Nolan had two scripts to be developed, one for the Batman series and the other for Deadly Magic. Josh was very interested in the latter and wanted to get involved. But Nolan plans to do Batman first, and Josh is his perfect choice.
It is estimated that Josh's arrogant and athletic straight man will not go around in circles, and after rejecting the invitation of "Batman", he obediently waits for Nolan to find him to play "Deadly Magic". However the result is that Christian. Bell starred in Batman and Then Deadly Magic, and even Josh's then-girlfriend Scarlett Josh. Johnson also got his wish to join the group, and the heart-watering "Deadly Magic" had nothing to do with Josh's dime.
Since then, Josh's resources have visibly deteriorated, on the one hand, he has rejected too many times, and on the other hand, he has begun to move into the field of niche independent films.
In an interview years later, Josh said there was a misunderstanding between him and Nolan.
I guess as a big director, Nolan couldn't fail to see Josh's intentions. You don't mistake refusing to play a superhero role as being rejected. Josh is more likely to have less cooperation and less room for communication.
Hollywood has never lacked good acting men, and if they don't seize the opportunity at their peak to create the next outlet, it is likely that they will not come again.
Josh's upright personality makes his relationship with brokers and brokerage companies not good, just from the perspective of interests, the role of making money is not picked up, which brokerage company can be happy. Because the two sides have different ideas and goals, and often quarrel, Josh also feels that the company is very aggrieved not to think about him.
Companies that can accept Buddhist actors are generally weak and not active in planning for the actors' careers. Refusing to play Superman, rejecting Nolan, Josh "made" himself step by step.
So he became more and more sharp, eager to prove his acting skills by niche movies. However, he did not have a good eye for picking the script, not only did he not win the mainstream awards that he could get his hands on, but even the works that went out of the circle were rare. The more Josh tried to prove himself, the more he drifted away from the mainstream.
Josh, who had reached the age of confusion, finally let go, admitted that his past ideas were immature, and regretted rejecting Nolan. Bell was not stereotyped after starring in Batman, but through weight loss and weight gain, he won the recognition of the audience with "drama throwing face", and won the "little golden man" as desired.
Josh's original idea was undoubtedly naïve and narrow, to put it bluntly, the pattern was not enough. He only saw the actors who were stereotyped, but he never thought of making that exception himself.
Characters in the entertainment industry also have chains of contempt, and superheroes, while famous and profitable, are often not tied to acting. Josh probably felt that none of the characters deserved him, so he didn't take it anyway, regardless of the script. Blindness and ignorance have long been seen by big directors.
In addition, Josh's journey was too smooth and somewhat pretentious. With his appearance and stature, he is also a member of the football team, and he must be a figure who calls the wind and rain in school. After helplessly switching to the direction of drama, he also successfully got the role. The popularity after "Pearl Harbor" also made him a person without star dreams, less cherished.
In fact, the pursuit of niche itself is a kind of mass psychology, and Josh in his youth did not know it and rejected too many opportunities and possibilities. Offense is not to be discussed, but once labeled as "difficult to cooperate", no matter how talented the actor is, it also makes the director and the agency stay away.
When resources are broken and popularity is absent, it is the time when capital is abandoned.
With Pearl Harbor as a springboard, Josh's starting point is no lower than that of Daben, but now the two have a world of difference in presence and activity. Regardless of the gap in wealth, take the number of works listed by domestic film and television rating websites as an example, Josh 6 pages, large book 16 pages.
The core is a difference in a "Matt. Damon".
After Affleck and Damon won the Screenwriting Award, he did not continue to work behind the scenes, but successfully became a first-line actor with his handsome appearance. After years of admiration from thousands of people, his "Batman" became the object of regular ridicule for many years, and his alcoholism fell into a low point in his life.
With home type good woman Jennifer. Ghana divorced, dumped by the "bang girl" Anna, was paired with a beautiful woman by dating software to expose the video, it seems to be riding on the "black and red" road, while the good brother Damon can always pull him and never give up.
Reliable Damon's network is enough to be the straw to save Daben at any time.
Josh, who does not produce a moth, has not accumulated too many contacts because of his maverick personality. At least I didn't meet the company that understood him, and the noble people who gave him guidance.
However, the career is frustrated, and the love scene is proud. The list of Josh's girlfriends summarized by foreign media is as many as 21 people, although the moisture is very large, but it is not too much to call him a goddess harvester.
The most solid hammer ex-girlfriend: Amanda, one of the "Four Little Flower Dan". Seyfried and the "widowed sister" Scarlett, who is at the peak of her appearance. Johnson, these two people alone are enough to blow for a lifetime.
Josh's current girlfriend Tam. Hin Egton is a white-skinned, long-legged model with 3 children.
Contrasting Affleck, Josh won the round.
As mentioned earlier, Hollywood has never lacked handsome men, although Josh's slender eyes are more special, but is this enough to attract beautiful female stars?
The reason why so many big beauties can be charmed is precisely the arrogance in Josh's personality. His niche seems so unsacky, has pursuits and ideals, and even a little great. And the desire to win or lose to settle down for the prodigal son, it is all charm.
Just as the so-called character determines fate, wenqing's end point is bound to be not a popular idol.
But Josh wasn't really dashing, he had a twist that didn't accept defeat. Logically, he and his ex-girlfriend Amanda are a perfect match. Amanda's materialistic desires were very low, and she did not want to bow to capital, so she bought a farm early and moved out of Hollywood. If there is a drama, go into the city, and if there is no drama, you will teach your husband and children and enjoy nature.
Colorful showbiz, not greedy and clean stars are difficult to find, Josh and Amanda are not successful, and the time of dating is very short. Are you weird or not?
Since becoming a father, hard-tempered artists have bowed to Hollywood and started making commercial films. After all, the child's oldest is 5 years old, and the youngest is 1 year old, and he still has to earn milk powder money.
Josh & Guy. Ritchie collaborated on "Wrath of Man", and it was Jason Lee who carried the film. Statham. There is "British Guoda" that must be a complete commercial film, and the three of them have collaborated on another untitled film while it is hot, which is set for 2022.
With "Fu Lan Lan" James. Frank's collaboration "To Miss My Father" is also scheduled for 2022. Moving away from Hollywood is somewhat helpless, and with Josh's personality, he has also made a lot of determination to return to the mainstream. It can be seen that Josh is working hard, but the gap is still obvious compared to the big book with 7 plays in 2022 (including behind the scenes).
As people get older, they become mature and they are worn out of their edges and corners. No matter how pretentious it is, as long as it is still in the circle, it is inevitable. Do you think 42-year-old Josh. Hartnett, is there still a chance?
When I watched "Pearl Harbor", I thought it was incredible to "grab love with a horizontal knife" with Josh's appearance. He does not take the muscle male route, and the temperament of a mature man is not superior, and it is a little difficult to turn over.
