If you are a little unfamiliar with this name, I believe few people don't know the movie The Shawshank Redemption, and Morgan Freeman is the simple and honest black uncle in the movie.
The Shawshank Redemption, as one of the top ten classic movies in the world, also succeeded in making this middle-aged black actor the most popular "black actor" in Hollywood.
In the play, Morgan Freeman's wise, open-minded and alert image even overshadowed the protagonist Tim Robbins, which also expressed people's recognition of the old actor's acting skills to some extent. As one of the most powerful actors in Hollywood, Morgan Freeman's road to fame is far more bumpy than we thought.
In fact, Morgan Freeman is not a newcomer in this ups and downs entertainment circle. Before the movie became popular, the black actor, who was nearly 30 years old, had appeared in many TV movies. Morgan Freeman officially debuted at 1962.
Morgan Freeman was born in a poor family and fell in love with the charm on the stage when he was a teenager. Originally, according to his father's plan, young Morgan Freeman should become an excellent air force pilot. At that time, when he chose to volunteer, he reported the drama according to his inner choice. At first, he could only play an insignificant small role in Broadway plays, even without lines, but he was destined to be extraordinary.
Gradually, Morgan Freeman began to set foot in Hollywood film industry with his fame accumulated on Broadway, but due to the influence of domestic environment at that time, Morgan Freeman's road to fame was doomed to be full of bumps.
"What ultimately supports us may not be material, not wealth, but our original ideas." Morgan Freeman has always had a star dream in his heart, and it is this belief that has supported the black actor to persist in this industry for more than 30 years.
Morgan Freeman was born at the bottom of society, and his life was not good when he was young. The so-called poor children take charge of the family early, and the poverty of life makes this child take on the heavy responsibility of the family very early. He envies those well-dressed upper-class people, and he is always trying to escape from this suffocating life.
After a performance at school, he discovered his innate talent for acting. After that, I fell in love with acting and began to often appear in campus drama songs. Soon, this young black guy gradually became famous in the local area. Although I officially debuted on Broadway with "I Love the Matchmaker" 1967, it did not stir up any waves in the entertainment circle and lasted for many years with "Men in Black" 1987.
Later, he participated in many well-known classic films such as The Shawshank Redemption and Seven Deaths, the most famous of which was invictus, a 2009 biopic, in which he played the black president Mandela who made great contributions to South African history. Even after the play, President Mandela, the prototype of the film, said that "only Morgan Freeman can truly interpret me". The actor won the recognition of the fans with his superb acting skills.
In 20 10, the American Film Academy awarded the lifetime achievement award to the black actor who was nearly seventy years old. This veteran actor who has worked hard in Hollywood for many years has finally been recognized by the industry. As a golden supporting actor in Hollywood, Morgan Freeman was nominated for Best Actor in four Oscars, and finally won the Best Supporting Actor in the 88th Academy Awards by his own efforts. But behind all the efforts, there is no hardship.
However, it is such a late bloomer who was caught in a peach scandal in 20 18 and was finally abandoned by the Hollywood market. The origin of the incident came from the joint inspection of 16 actresses, and 8 of them complained about Morgan Freeman's rational harassment, saying that they had seen Morgan Freeman's improper harassment behavior many times.
After that, although Morgan Freeman responded quickly, he actually indirectly admitted the existence of the above-mentioned behavior, which caused an uproar for a time. Although this matter was finally dropped because there was no substantial evidence, Morgan Freeman was completely influenced by this matter and was finally abandoned by the Hollywood entertainment circle.
This powerful actor with ugly face and spots has created a movie empire belonging to him with his own efforts. Although he didn't get a perfect ending in the end, it doesn't affect our affirmation and praise of his classics. Drama is like life, and every choice is actually his original choice. Therefore, we also hope that Morgan Freeman can bring us more classic images after the silence.
