On February 6, domestic and foreign media reported a regrettable news that Christopher Plummer, the male protagonist of "The Sound of Music", had unfortunately died at home on Friday North American time at the age of 91. He is not only an actor at the Canadian national treasure level, but also a regular in Hollywood and oscars, and has been fighting for his acting career all his life.
He became popular very early, starring in the musical film The Sound of Music in 1965 and playing the "Colonel" in the film, together with Julie Andrews and Richard Haydn, perfectly interpreting the story of music that brings power to people. It also made "Edelweiss" a household name, and it is still a classic.
Although The Sound of Music gave him fame and fortune, Christopher Plummer never seemed to like it. He even annoyingly called it "The Sound of Snot", and "Edelweiss" was not sung by him in the movie, and as for the specific reason, everyone still knows.
Christopher Plummer has been nominated for several Academy Awards during his 75-year acting career. In 2012, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 84th Academy Awards for his performance in Beginners. He said excitedly at the time: "I really feel so excited to nominate an old boy in his 80s. ”
When he was in his 80s, he still called himself a boy, and he was indeed very young. His life has brought countless good works, such as "Thorn Bird", "Beautiful Mind" and more than 100 works. There have been three marriages, and there are also a group of very good children, and I believe that future generations will also follow the example of their fathers.
The news of Christopher Plummer's death is sad, but 91 years old is also the end of his life, and I believe that this "old boy" will be very happy in heaven.
