Recently, the news of "Sleeping Curse 2" was brushed off.
"Princess" Ellie Fanning and "Witch" Angelina Jolie played funny selfies on set, which can be said to be very cute.
Speaking of cuteness, the little girl in the following GIF is also cute.
There may be many people who have seen this picture, but most of them don't know who she is, she is Ellie, we Ellie is cute from small to large.
Ellie Fanning
Ellie Fanning was born in 1998 to a professional baseball player and a tennis player to a tennis mother, with an older sister, Dakota Fanning, who is four years older than herself.
When Ellie was one year old, the family moved from Georgia to los Angeles, the movie capital, because Dakota, who was five years old, had become a child star.
Ellie's acting career can be roughly divided into four parts: at the beginning with her sister Dakota, when she played the role of her sister;
Later, she could no longer play her sister's childhood in the movie, but she was also a small supporting role; gradually played some important roles and even became the heroine;
Become a popular little flower in Hollywood and start trying to stand alone.
1. Dakota's sister
Ellie Fanning entered Hollywood because of her sister Dakota Fanning. Dakota Fanning performed in a theater near his home at a very young age, and later stood out among the many children and got a job of broadcasting advertising in the United States. She has since signed contracts with professional agents and has secured roles in several films.
In 2001, the movie "I Am Sam" starring Dakota was released. Her angelic face and extraordinary talent for acting impressed the audience, and she is also known for this film.
At that time, the film needed an actor who was a younger Dakota character, and the fat water did not flow to the outsiders, and Dakota found his sister Ellie, and Ellie must be more like Dakota when he was a child.
Ellie Fanning stepped into show business that year, when she was two years old.
Since then, the doors of Hollywood have been open to Ellie Fanning.
2. The little supporting character in the movie, Ellie
Although at first, Ellie's role was still a younger version of her sister Dakota in the film, but this period was not long, and as Ellie grew older and her acting skills improved, she began to appear in the film alone.
In this period, Ellie mainly performed in her true colors, playing some beautiful and cute little girls, who were not yet ten years old, and there was no big challenge in acting.
However, During this period, Ellie has begun to frequently collaborate with Hollywood stars, such as Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett's daughter in "Babel Tower", "Space-time Clues" with Denzel Washington, and then with Ryan Reynolds on "Nine Degrees of Space".
In 2008, in The Wonders of Benjamin Button, he continued to work with Pete and the Great Demon King as the childhood Daisy.
This should also be the first time I noticed Ellie's film, at the time I didn't know who this angelically beautiful little girl was, but I just thought this little actor was really cute.
After watching the movie many times, there was a kind of idea of "how nice it would be if I had such a playmate when I was a child" and "How nice it would be if my daughter would grow up like this in the future." ”
This movie is also one of my personal favorites so far, Ellie's appearance in "The Wonders of Benjamin Barton" is like Zhou Xun in "Daming Palace Words" to me, like the arrival of elves.
3. The sharp edge is gradually revealed, and the awards are awarded
2010's "Somewhere" was a very important film for Ellie, and she won the acting award for the first time.
In the movie, Ellie plays a little girl who has been living with her mother for a long time, and because her mother has to go out on errands, Cleo has to live with her father who has never met for a while.
This dad was originally a drunken playboy who was not comfortable with the role of father he needed to play. The father and daughter have gradually developed feelings from strangeness to affection, and everything is subtly changing.
The film not only won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, but also earned Ellie the Teen Hollywood Award for Best Actress of the Year. Although it is not a very important award, it is undoubtedly a recognition of her acting skills.
In 2011, he was a producer in Spielberg, J. In "Super 8" directed by J. Abrams, Ellie played the girl Alice, who was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Young Actor, and her acting skills were further affirmed.
Later, he collaborated with big stars in a series of movies, mostly as supporting roles, including the familiar "Sleeping Curse".
In 2015's "Three Generations", Ellie tried to broaden her drama path, challenged herself, cut her long hair, played a woman who wanted to become a man, and began to contact LGBT movies.
She was not yet 18 years old at the time, and for a beautiful female star, cutting her hair short was no small challenge, and it took a lot of courage to take over the film.
4. The sweet burden of Hollywood's popular little flowers
Although Ellie had starred in several films before 2016, in my opinion, 2016's Neon Devil was the first film she singled out.
In the film, Ellie played a young female model who broke into Los Angeles alone.
At first, she was cold on the surface, but in fact she was very confident in her beauty. After being appreciated by the big guys in the circle, the ambition gradually revealed.
After the demons of desire in the heart appear, they are devoured by the jealousy and hatred of others.
After her death, only pure beauty remained.
The director tried to make Ellie's character the most perfect model in the movie, so Ellie in the film always bloomed with a stunning beauty.
In the past 2017, Ellie's three works are very eye-catching.
"Under the Peony Flower" not only received a nomination for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival, but also gave Sofia Coppola the best director.
The film is about a wounded soldier, Colin Farrell, recuperating from a temporary stay at a church girls' school, and a group of women who have not seen a man for a long time, Nicole Kidman, Kerstin Dunst, and Ellie Fanning, are all in a spring and get rid of a "palace fight" scene.
In the film, Ellie plays Alicia, a cunning and bold girl who has just opened her heart, and in the scene where she actively seduces Colin Farrell, after being discovered by Miss Martha, she changes from a full of fire to an innocent eye, and also the evil person sues first, saying that the soldier overlord is the bow, which really plays the bad precocious girl.
My favorite Ellie movie last year was Gone Sidney Hauer.
The film has only 7.2 points on Douban, which seems to me to be obviously underrated.
Logan Leman in "The Wallflower Boy" plays the male protagonist Sidney Haure, and Ellie plays the female protagonist Melody.
The film mainly tells the short life of the writer Sidney Hauer, the three-line narrative, and the love line between the male and female protagonists is very pleasing.
Melody has only loved Sidney alone in her life, and has fallen in love with him since that kiss in the first grade of elementary school. Unfortunately, Melody moved later, and it was not until they met again that they finally made love.
They are reunited in the sunny early summer, and Melody is both afraid to meet Sidney and secretly happy to find that Sidney likes her. The beautiful girl with blonde hair fluttering softly in the breeze may be the first love in the minds of many high school boys.
There is a scene in which Melody and Sidney quarrel and separate after marriage, and after a hard time reconciling, they have dinner together, and Sidney's cheating lover comes to stir up trouble.
One second Ellie was still full of love, and the next second it turned into shock, disappointment, and pain, and tears of sadness dripped down the corners of her trembling mouth.
The changes in mood and eyes are gradual, layer by layer, and deeply moving.
Another film that has attracted a lot of attention is "The Secret of Party Talking".
The film is about a London punk boy and an alien girl.
The whole film is very fun, with a lot of laughs, and the music and punk elements are also very attractive.
Ellie's singing scene in the movie is especially good, from a cute alien girl to a punk girl. At first, I didn't know how to sing with a microphone, and the stage-skipping sound triggered the audience's laughter, and after the outbreak, a song burned the whole audience and became the punk star of the town.
In the movie, she spits out others every time she kisses, which is also full of bad taste.
In the picture below, can you still see that it is Ellie?
Originally, Ellie and Sweet Tea's new film "A Rainy Day in New York" this year was very exciting, but Woody Allen was cold, and the movie was probably yellow.
Ellie's next film, Galveston, has been screened at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and it has been commented that "her performance elevates a story that could otherwise easily degenerate into vulgarity by more than one notch."
In recent years, there have been many comments on the Internet about Ellie or her sister Dakota being crippled.
Please, Macaulay Kalkina in "The Little Devil Is Home" is the one who is crippled. Fanning's two sisters are like this, throwing anywhere is the most beautiful one in the crowd!
The sweet looks are Ellie's luck, on the other hand, a burden to her. Her sweet looks not only limit her acting path, but also make it easy to ignore her acting skills.
Although it can be seen that in the past two years, she has been trying out some different types of roles to give herself more challenges. But most of the characters are still beautiful little sisters, or fairies in fantasy movies, and the plot is mostly based on love.
Fortunately, Ellie is still very young, although she has acted in movies for so many years, she is only 20 years old this year. Yes, you read that right, only 20 years old. But it is already a small flower in Hollywood.
At such an age, future success has just begun.
