Look at the dead king: the fourteenth issue of "Lost Face", the American post-80s male god we locked in, has been active on the big screen for 20 years, starring in more than 40 movies. Just after his 38th birthday, he will continue to star in many new movies in the new year.
He began to perform on stage at the age of four, and is a veritable "old drama bone". Because of his resemblance to the face of the late genius actor Heath Ledger, he was favored by many people. He was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and we used to call him "Luceff."
On the big screen, Lutherf has a wide range of plays and outstanding acting skills, whether it is a small white-collar worker who is obsessed with literature and art, a stallion man who is full of muscles and drunkenness, or a craftsman who walks a tightrope in a 100-meter building, and a highway racer who shuttles through the traffic, he can easily control it.
At the same time, he is also versatile and has a wide range of interests, in addition to being a good actor, he has dabbled in radio hosting, dancing, graphic design and other fields, and also tried to become a film director.

His innocent and affectionate smile is undoubtedly a weapon that captures the girl's heart, and his interesting and dedicated soul is the ultimate mystery he has come all the way. With many fans around the world, he has never stopped exploring and studying acting, and is still trying various challenging roles.
Born in 1981 into an acting family, Grandpa Mike Gordon has directed films such as "Sword Man" and "Whispering on the Pillow", his father Dennis Levitt has worked as a news director on television, and his mother Jane Gordon has represented the Peace and Freedom Party in the election to Congress.
He joined a musical theater troupe at the age of four, was discovered by the Economic Man for rehearsing the role of scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, and then began to appear in various TELEVISION commercials and family dramas.
The male god has begun to take shape in the Zhengtai period
In 1992, Luceff starred in the film "Big River Love" as the childhood of his older brother Norman, and Brad Pitt played the adulthood of his younger brother Paul in this film. Although the two generations of male gods could not be in the same frame in the movie, With this film, Luceff won the Best Actor Award for Young Artists Under 10, and the road to acting easily took the first step.

Next, he starred in many movies such as "Emergency Stalking Order" and "Baseball Angel". In 1996, the 15-year-old Luthoff played an alien pretending to be a Jewish teenager in the sitcom "Crooked Stars Hit the Earth", and his funny talent in the play made the show an unprecedented success, and Luceff also became a household name for his teen idol, and won the Hollywood Young Star Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award in the same year.

As a young man, Hessef studied under an acting teacher who had a deep influence on him. In the interview, he said that in his childhood learning experience, the teacher never treated him as a child, but talked to him as an actor and an artist. The teacher taught him about the way to create a role: to invest in the role, to try all the ways, not to doubt yourself. What Lutherf learned from his teacher was not only acting, but also how to be a good person.
For his peers, the job of child star is a rare life experience, and Luceff is also full of gratitude. He once said, "It's not common to have a good parent who loves you and supports you. I also play baseball, gymnastics, and piano, and acting is just one of those things. I wasn't forced to learn acting, but because I loved acting. ”
Luthoff starred with Heath Ledger in Ten Things I Hate About You.
Still, his long life as a child star has left him burned out and confused, "I hate acting like a fool in commercial movies," he says. In the final season of "3rd Rock Form the Sun," Ruthof chose to leave show business for a break, where he attended Columbia University, where he majored in French poetry, history, and literature.
After experiencing the precipitation of the campus, Lutherf's enthusiasm for the career of an actor has not been extinguished, and he is determined to continue to make films, expressing himself and realizing himself through the process of interpreting various roles.
Luceff's play path has always been very wide, and he dares to challenge various roles. In the 2003 gay-themed film Shining Days, he played a homosexual Mormon; in 2004, he took over a same-sex film "Mysterious Skin", in which he starred as a teenager who was seduced by a coach in his childhood and therefore embarked on the road to help.
"Shining Days"
Mysterious Skin
In Mysterious Skin, Neil is a decadent, pale, slender teenager who travels through the town all day. When looking at the man on the street, there is a vague emptiness in his eyes and a obsession with sexual pleasure. The role was portrayed by the 23-year-old Luthoff as clear, dangerous and charming, who used superb acting skills to interpret the inner world of Neil, a marginal character.
As Neil's friend in the movie puts it: "I was also infatuated with him, but I advise you not to, ordinary people have a heart, and the position of his chest cavity is only a hole." 」 Since then, Lutherf's acting skills have been recognized by the industry.
Later, He took the lead and starred as an ordinary high school student who investigated the truth of his girlfriend's death in "Pursuit of Murder", and a rich second-generation criminal who experienced loss, cheering up and regaining himself in "Be Careful".
"The Pursuit of the Murderer"
"Be Careful"
In 2009, Lutherf co-starred with Zoe Danscher in the film 500 Days with Summer. Many domestic audiences began to know Luthof, and it was also from this movie that it began. Starting from the perspective of the male protagonist Tom, this film records that in five hundred days, he and Summer went from the deep love and honey of the hot love to the pain after the breakup, and finally bid farewell to the residual heat of "summer" and entered the story of "autumn" (summer and autumn correspond to the names of Tom's predecessor and new love in the film).
Summer's parents divorced, so she has an independent personality and is quite assertive. From the very beginning of their acquaintance, she clearly realized that the love affair with Tom was just a comfort for her to pass the loneliness of life during this period. But Tom moved his true feelings in this love affair in the office that ended in no problem, immersed in self-dedication and emotion, and could not accept the facts for a long time.
The director uses a fresh and romantic tone to interpret the topic of "differences in emotional concepts between the sexes" very interestingly. Personally, I think that "500 Days with Summer" is the most charming one that shows the character's personal characteristics in the works starring Lusev. Tom's elegant British style and literary youth's unique sense of kindness and infatuation, I believe that every fan sister is powerless to resist.
Over the next two years, Joseph teamed up with Christopher Nolan, the most prominent director of our time, to make two big productions of great weight — Inception and Batman: The Dark Knight Rises.
Inception
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises
Although these two films are supporting roles with limited roles, Lutherf's performance is still eye-catching. In "Inception", Lutherf starred as Arthur, a well-trained and calm gentleman colleague next to the male protagonist Xiao Lizi. "How to use the camera to capture Arthur's weightlessness in the corridor" is still a topic of conversation among Nolan fans.
In Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, he plays Blake, a police officer who is introverted and righteous. At the same time, his other identity is Robin, Batman's loyal assistant, who plays a key role in the film.
The year 2011 to 2012 was a blowout year for the work of Saburo Serf. In addition to the above two films, he has also starred in the films "Anti-Cancer Me", "Heather", "Ring Messenger" and "Fatal Emergency".
"Anti-Cancer Me"
Heather
The Ring Messenger
Fatal Emergency
The film "Anti-Cancer Me" is adapted from the personal experience of screenwriter Will Reeseer, telling the story of the four good young adams who unfortunately suffered from cancer, and from this experience of fighting cancer, harvested the people and things that should really be cherished in life.
In the film, Lutherf fights the disease desperately, while Seth Logan, who plays Adam's nemesis, is responsible for funny and exploiting his friend's illness. Although the dead party has no heart and lungs from beginning to end, and even does not bother to use a cotton swab to change adam's medicine, but directly hands on it, it is fiercely warm at the end of the film, so that the audience suddenly has a sour nose in addition to joy.
By the way, the friend who screenwriter Will Rissel had been standing behind him to support him when he was treated was Seth Rogan.
2013 may be a year of special significance for Luceff. This year, his first film "Don Juan" was finally released. Lutherf directed and acted himself, and in the film, he competed with two powerful beauties, Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore.
The entry point of the film "Don Juan" is very interesting, through a young man who relies on fitness bubbles, relies on yellow films to vent, relies on church to repent, and spends his days with yellow films, masturbation, and infidelity, showing the impetuousness and confusion of people's treatment of sex and love in the fast food era.
The film is anti-erotic with the gimmick of eroticism, and a large number of av clips are boldly added to the editing. Lutherf shows his muscles at 360 degrees in the film, and the bed scene with the two heroines is also very beautiful. Unfortunately, the film as a whole is top-heavy, and the treatment of opposition and narrative is also a bit childish.
In 2014, Lusev and his girlfriend who has been in the circle for many years officially entered the marriage hall, and many students may be heartbroken when they see here. According to my observation, Mrs. 囧 is white and beautiful, low-key and temperamental, or the CEO and co-founder of Frost Robots, I believe that everyone will send blessings with tears.
After the baptism of married life, Luceff became more and more calm and full of the charm of a mature man. He went on to star in films such as Sin City 2, Walking in the Clouds and Snowden.
Sin City 2
Walking in the Clouds
"Snowden" is a far-reaching biographical film about Snowden, who works at the CIA and discovers that the government has implemented a mass surveillance program of citizens' telephones and social networks, so a large number of confidential documents have been leaked. After the incident, Snowden was wanted by the US authorities and had to flee to Russia several times to seek political asylum.
Snowden
In November 2016, for starring in the film, Ruthof received an Act of Rights Award from aclu (American Civil Liberties Union). At the same time, he also donated most of the film's remuneration to aclu.
Luceff's appearance in "Snowden" means that he is not only an actor who pursues art, but also a citizen who personally tries to influence and try to change the world. Although many times people are small in the face of the state apparatus, they still do their best to move forward in the darkness and oppression.
The most touching part of this film is the end when Snowden bypasses the heavy security checks and walks strongly and calmly towards the bright world in front of him. As The Buddha-figure Snowden said, "There are moments in life when darkness is sinister and the future is uncertain, but it is these critical moments that give us greater motivation to move forward." We should never despair about it. ”
Thoreau once wrote: "The true meaning of travel is not movement, but to bring your soul to find the spring light of life." "Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitte's film journey will not stop and will continue to bring us infinite brilliance and light.
