The recent fire of Annihilation brought Natalie Portman back into our sights. To tell the truth, after winning the Oscar, Portman did not bring us any impressive roles.
The so-called "Shadow Queen's Curse" seems to have been fulfilled in Natalie. However, it is believed that "Annihilation" will reverse this momentum.
From Mathil in This Killer Isn't Too Cold to The Biologist in Annihilation, we've seen so many of her films over 20 years, but do you really know her?
Today, I will systematically give you a circle of countless fans of this screen goddess.
Many people may not know that Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem, Israel, but left Israel at a very young age and went to the United States. Her father was a doctor, her mother was an art-loving housewife, and she is now Natalie's agent.
At the age of 11, Natalie was discovered by a Manager at a pizzeria, giving her the opportunity to become a model.
But Natalie's ambition is not to be a model, she wants to be a great actress. Little Natalie once said, "Unlike any other child, I know what I like and what I want." ”
What were you doing when you were 13? Just entered junior high school, childishness has not come off. That year, Natalie read the script of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" and felt very good, and decided to go to the audition. The first audition was lost because she was too young, and it was Natalie who insisted on doing it again, and finally got the role of Matilda.
"This killer is not too cold" presumably does not need to be introduced too much here, the regulars in the major rankings, Douban top 250 ranked 3rd.
"This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is great from the script and director of Luc Besson to the performances of Jean Renault and Gary Oldman, but the moving interpretation of little Natalie is the finishing touch of this movie.
Previously, Natalie was surnamed Herschler, and after filming the movie, Natalie's family decided to use Natalie's grandmother's family name "Portman" as a stage name, and in the director's cut version of the movie DVD, her name is still Natalie Herschler.
Thirteen-year-old Natalie has since become Natalie Portman, a blockbuster.
From 1995 to 1996, Natalie starred in "The Line of Fire", "Everybody Says I Love You" and "Martians Playing with Earth".
Although they are all supporting roles with no heavy roles, the same crew is full of unattainable emperor superstars and famous directors, and any one of them will tremble in the film circle. An ordinary person's lifelong situation, Natalie completed in two years, when she was not yet 15 years old.
The director of "Thief of Fire" is Michael Mann, starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Everybody Says I Love You is directed by Woody Allen, starring Woody Allen, Julia Roberts, Edward Norton and Tim Rose. Martians Playing Earth is directed by ghost director Tim Burton, with the participation of Jack Nicholson, Pierce Brosnan, and Jack Black.
She worked with these big names at a young age, and natalie had obviously grown from a little girl to a girl in those two years, and her future was limitless. If it is a small flower with such luck in China, it must be to sign two TV series, five movies, release an album, and take over a dozen advertisements, take advantage of the fame to let fans and non-fans see her all day long, of course, you can also earn a lot of money, as to whether it will quickly squeeze yourself dry? Who cares so much about the future!
How did Natalie choose? She pushed out the three well-known and well-known films "Ice Storm", "Lolita" and "Romeo and Juliet" because she didn't want to play Lori anymore.
"I turned down all the characters with Lolita overtones, and I really didn't want to be the object of someone else's sexual fantasies." Natalie was freaked out by explicit letters from fans.
She plunged into the Broadway theater and played Anne Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank. The whole year of performance not only brought an hour-long curtain call after the performance, but also laid a solid foundation for her performance.
In 1999, when Natalie was 18 years old, Star Wars Prequel 1: The Phantom Menace was released, Natalie became the queen of Amidala's strong return, making people realize the charm of the growth of the former child star, and also quickly gained an international reputation.
However, after Star Wars, Natalie was once in a career predicament, when no director was willing to work with her, saying that she was a "spoiled American wayward chick". Director Mike Nichols wrote to the director of Cold Mountain to vouch for her, so that she got the role in Cold Mountain.
In 1999, with the Chinese director Wang Ying's "Fang Xin Tianya", An was nominated for the 57th Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actress in the Film Category. At one point, she refused to star because of the nude scenes in the film, and later the choreographer had to change the script.
Then, friends, this time Natalie went to Harvard to study. And it is not by relationship mixed in Oh, it is all a test! And at that time, she was also admitted to Yale, but in the end she chose Harvard Psychology, which is a fake bully.
She once said on a talk show, "I would prefer people to recognize my wisdom than just think of me as a big star."
She is Mark Zuckerberg's sister and friend, and in The Social Network, Zuckerberg claims that "Harvard has also produced movie stars", referring to Natalie. There is a theory that the girl played by Rooney Mara in The Social Network is alluding to Natalie.
After graduating from Harvard, Natalie returned to Israel to study at the Hebrew University. After reading more books, she realized that what she really loved was movies, "I really can't wait to go back and make more movies."
In 2004, she won the 62nd Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in the Film Category for the film "Stealing Hearts", and the first Oscar nomination , the 77th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress Nomination.
In 2005, she shaved her head and played Ivy in V-Word Vendetta. She then quoted "V-Vendetta" and taught a course on terrorism and counterterrorism at Columbia University as a visiting professor.
In March 2006, Natalie appeared on the Saturday night live show to promote "V-Word Vendetta", bringing a wonderful show with the host and guests.
She played an angry rapper being interviewed, Natalie in a hoodie-t-shirt looked like a tomboy, swear by the swear words, confessed that she drank every day, took drugs, raced, did not sleep, and even loved violence, and said that she cheated on Harvard's exams to get high scores. This short film was included in the V-Kills Dual Disc Collector's Edition DVD.
In late 2005, during the filming of Goya's Soul with Javier Baden, she got another Mohican hairstyle. Paparazzi took photos of her going to a nightclub with Javier Baden, and without explanation, it was almost impossible to recognize Natalie.
She once explained about this particular hairstyle: "It's a great thing to throw away those empty things."
He made his first full nude appearance in Wes Anderson's short film Knights Hotel in 2007. Since becoming famous, Natalie has been shy about nude drama. She pleaded with the director to cut out the nude footage from Stealing Hearts, and she used nudity during the filming of The Soul of Goya.
Natalie didn't get paid for the shoot because she appreciated the script, "After I met Wes three years ago, I begged to work with him, and he gave me the script as promised, I really liked it, he probably had the best taste".
After the short film went viral, Natalie said she was particularly embarrassed and vowed not to have any nudity on the screen in the future. She said: "I really regret not listening to my own intuition, from now on, I want to believe in myself, sometimes the most powerful thing people do is to say no." ”
In 2008, Natalie Portman was invited to be a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival, setting a new record for the youngest jury in Cannes set by Zhang Ziyi two years ago. In addition to the judges, she brought her own short films, included in the short story collection New York, I Love You.
Natalie also called Incarce Johansson to make a short film with her, but Scarlett's short film was not cut into the main film. To her girlfriend Scarlett, Natalie said bluntly: "Seriously, I want to touch her breasts so much!" ”
In 2010, "Black Swan" won her 83rd Oscar, when she was not yet 30 years old.
Natalie began learning to dance at the age of 4, laying a good foundation for the film's ballet, and before filming she insisted on nearly a year of devilish training, diet, swimming, dance lessons, not only to lose weight, but also to shape and practice dance.
Natalie and Mira Kunis's scene of same-sex passion in the film once led to her and her father being at odds with each other, and the father and daughter ignored each other. The role of "Black Swan" made Natalie think for a long time, but she liked the role very much and did not want to refuse, so she had to go against her father's wishes.
The belated Oscar queen finally got her out of the spell of "child star barriers", and made Natalie the first post-80s Oscar queen in Hollywood history.
Outside the scene, she fell in love with the film's choreographer, the French ballet dancer Benjamin Mippard. Since then, 10 years of engagement, 12 years of marriage, now there are children and daughters, and there are almost no other scandals.
He joined the Marvel Universe in 2011 as scientist Jane Foster in Thor. However, in "Thor 3: Twilight of the Gods", the character of Jane Foster is no longer needed because of the needs of the plot. We can only fantasize that Natalie and Scarlett, two good girlfriends, may have to meet in Avengers X.
In 2015, Natalie's "Love and Dark Story", which is also an actress, director, producer and screenwriter, was released. Because it was a Jewish story, she insisted on using Hebrew in her films. However, during filming, Jerusalem citizens protested to the crew because of religious sensitivities and personal privacy issues.
In 2016, he was nominated for an Oscar again for "The First Lady".
In fact, after "Black Swan", Natalie has hardly acted in more well-known movies except for two "Thor", and several literary and artistic films have a bad reputation. That is to say, in the past five or six years, Natalie has not only made few scenes, but also has not a film that can fully show her acting skills.
Although it is possible to find an excuse for a husband and a godson, there will inevitably be doubts in the industry. "First Lady" was nominated for an Oscar, which should make Natalie breathe a sigh of relief.
After "First Lady", Natalie seems to have come back to her senses, at least the amount of film has come up. The well-known "Annihilation" may be a new turning point.
This year she should also have a "Sound of Light" to release, about a singer named Celeste, who grew into a super pop superstar after a turbulent national tragedy, over a huge time span.
Movies of this genre have always had extremely high requirements for acting skills, and I hope that Natalie will have a more amazing performance.
In the blink of an eye, Natalie has been in the industry for almost 25 years. High IQ bully, proficient in four Chinese words, happy family, became an Oscar queen at a young age, and tried to do whatever she wanted to do, the key is still so beautiful, all aspects are winners in life (in fact, she is quite hacked).
With her acting skills, I think I can at least act for another twenty or thirty years. And the first film she directed is honestly not bad, maybe in the position of director, the future can bring us greater surprises.
Finally, here's a set of Natalie's latest photos so that everyone can lick the screen.
