◆ Introduction:
Natalie1981June 9 was born in Jerusalem, and moved to new york with her family after she was 3 years old. She has a happy family, her mother is an artist and her father is a doctor. One day, when she was wandering in the streets of Long Island, luck came quietly-a talent scout took a fancy to her and recommended her to director Luca Besson. Luca is looking for a heroine for the upcoming Black Leon. Although Natalie was too young at that time, she was lucky to win the role in the end. As a result, she has never set foot in the entertainment industry, and since then, she has become a blockbuster and started a career of filming while studying.
Natalie always seems to perform with Hollywood bigwigs. Next, from 65438 to 0995, she became Al Pacino's stepdaughter in michael mann's The Wire and played Jack Nicholson's daughter in 1996' s Martians Attack the Earth. In the same year, she starred in Woody Allen's musical comedy Everyone says I love you. Natalie's relaxed performance in the play won the audience's love.
1996, Natalie's performance in the film "Beautiful Girl" received rave reviews again. The girl she plays in the play is Marty, a precocious girl, who is very scheming and bent on taking her sweetheart away from her fiancee. The film critics spoke highly of Natalie's acting skills, and it is undeniable that she is the best highlight of the whole play.
From 65438 to 0997, Natalie made an amazing decision: she gave up Lolita and Romeo and Juliet and willingly went on stage to star in Anne Frank's Diary. This move once puzzled everyone, but from Annie's nearly one-hour curtain call after each scene, we understood how excellent she was. Natalie performed on the stage for 1 year until 1998.
At the end of that century, Natalie played her most famous role-playing the noble and beautiful Queen Amidala in george lucas's prequel trilogy Phantom Threat. Despite its reputation, it is an indisputable fact that this film has made a huge box office in the world. Natalie's beautiful image is as well known as Hepburn's.
From standing in the spotlight at the beginning to today, the former girl has grown up, still pure, but with more confidence and amorous feelings of a mature woman. Natalie is using her own practical actions to prove to the world that she is the most powerful and promising actress among the new generation of Hollywood actors.
Natalie Portman, Natalie Portman
Unlike many actors who are eager to become famous, they are more eager to become famous after they become famous. Although The Phantom Threat, the prequel to Star Wars, made Natalie Portman a household name, she was called "Audrey Hepburn II" 19.
Natalie Portman was only 9 years old when he was photographed by a talent scout in a pizza shop in Long Island, new york. She was only 12 years old when she appeared in the movie Leon, which was joined by big stars such as Jean Reno and Gary Oldman. She was only 12 years old when she appeared in the drama Het Achterhuis, which really proved her acting skills.
But the problem is that Natalie Portman seems to regard acting as a little more fun. Of course, it is also a profitable sideline for her, but it is doubtful whether her interest in acting can be maintained for a long time. She said, "I don't know if acting is something I want to do all my life, because there are too many other things." I still love acting, but I may pursue other careers in the future. "
Portman has no shortage of choices. In addition to her current psychology major at Harvard University, she is also proficient in French, Spanish and Japanese. Although she is still a little shy, her mind is enough to always confuse the director and other stars. She is a little delicate, and her age doesn't look 19. She speaks with girlish breath, but her expressive ability is far beyond her actual age. In Hollywood, there are rude quasi-stars who have just left high school. Natalie Portman's existence is undoubtedly an anomaly.
Natalie Portman's acting talent is reflected in her latest film "Where is My Heart". "(Where is the heart? ) once again. In this film, Portman plays a 17-year-old girl named Novalee Nation. After leaving the trailer house in Tennessee for many years, Racine is going to California to find a new life. But in Oklahoma, Racine, who had been pregnant for a long time, was ruthlessly abandoned by her boyfriend.
Lacking money, Racine had to hide in a local Wal-Mart store and gave birth to a baby, thus becoming a local "celebrity". She decided to take this new place as her new home and fell in love with a librarian.
Novali's life in the film is completely different from Portman's life as a model student in Saisset, a suburb of new york. Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem to a doctor father and an artist mother. At the age of 3, the Portman family moved to America. Up to now, Portman is still very attached to his parents emotionally, and his parents do their best to protect their daughters. After Revlon discovered Natalie Portman, she decided not to be a model that many girls admired. Portman's parents hired an agent for her, and she started her acting career in a summer camp at a young age.
Her official appearance on the big screen began with Black Boy Not Too Cold. Portman plays an orphan adopted by a professional killer (played by Jean Reno) in this film. Director luc besson deceived the little girl who was only 12 years old at that time and made her perform some programs that were later criticized. But since then, Portman has stayed away from everything that may cause controversy. She refused to play christina ricci in The Ice Storm on the grounds that the film was "too dark". Then she rejected adrian lyne's Lolita on the grounds that it was "inferior". Last year, Portman agreed to star anywhere else with Susan Sarandon, but only if the sexual descriptions in the script were deleted.
Portman said that she decided what to do and what not to do. "I always choose what I want to do. My parents will give me some opinions and suggestions, but the final decision is always made by myself. " But she also admitted that she would not accept acting in a movie that might upset her parents. "Because, for me, it is more important to make my parents feel happy and proud. If I offend them, I will make myself angrier than losing the role in some stupid movie. "
In order to avoid being disturbed by groupies, Portman took her grandmother's surname as her stage name. But she tried to avoid revealing the name of the university she attended, but it didn't work. Although everyone knows that she chose Harvard, she refuses to give her name. She defended this: "I don't want fans to visit. I heard that when Brooke Su was in Princeton, hundreds of people visited her every year. I don't want this to end, because I don't want to associate with strangers. Some people may think that I am rude to do this, but I really don't need such a relationship. "
Portman fans don't have much in common with her even if they can get closer to her.
Portman is a typical person with superior ability. She likes to associate with people similar to her, which is one of the reasons why she chose Harvard. She said: "The people around me are excellent. Take the people in my dormitory for example. One of them once performed on the same stage with the famous cellist Yo Yo Ma, and the other has published poems. In addition, I also know some students who have participated in the Olympic Games. They are simply wonderful! "
Portman is a serious and sensitive girl who can't help blushing at the mention of her boyfriend. Rumor has it that she has some connections with hayden christensen, a little-known Canadian actress who will play Anakin Skywalker in the next Star Wars movie.
Can we still see Natalie Portman's performance on the screen? How long can we watch it? All this is undecided. Natalie Portman is much more excited when talking about clinical psychology than acting, although she also knows that her popularity will soon prevent her from pursuing a "normal" career. She said: "My previous experience as an actor will not help me to pursue a career in clinical psychology, but I can still do research in this field."

abstract
In the slums of new york, there lived an Italian named Leon. He was a professional killer. One day, Mathilde, a little girl next door, knocked on his door and asked to stay with him for a while. It turned out that the owner of the neighbor's house was a spy of the police. Just because he embezzled a small bag of drugs, he was punished by the bad police to destroy the whole family. Mathilde was rescued by Lyon and began to help Lyon housekeeper and teach her to read, while Lyon taught girls to use guns, and they got along well. The girl followed the bad policeman and retaliated rashly, but she was caught. Leon arrived in time to save the girl. They moved again, but the girl still fell into the hands of the bad police. Leon knocked down a policeman, rescued the girl again and let her escape through the ventilation duct, and asked her to take out the money he had saved. Leon disguised himself as a policeman and tried to break out of the encirclement, but the bad policeman caught him. At the last minute, Leon blew himself up. ...
An Interpretation of killer lyon
Black Boy Lyon is undoubtedly an important work that luc besson turned to, that is, from an author film to a commercial film. The film continues the killer theme of the thunderbolt killer and tells the story of a professional killer who met a girl of 13 years old in an accident.
In this film, screenwriter and director luc besson proved to Hollywood his ability to make commercial films. Luc besson is definitely a director who is very familiar with the film process and its skills and the operation mode of Hollywood movies, so that he is very skilled in the use of audio-visual language in this film.
At the beginning of the film, that is, the subtitle part, several aerial cameras are used to briefly introduce the shooting location of the film to the audience: the ocean-the road-the streets of the city-the alleys-and finally the faded black screen. Attention! This is the symbol of film noir-black, underground. The city we see is a very scattered street view, and the story background is introduced. The film was directed by a black lens.
But the director doesn't want us to know the positive image of Lyon so soon, but has a series of super close-ups to create the mystery of the characters. There is a glass of milk between a pair of hands on the table. It is this cup of milk that sets the stage at the beginning of the film to reveal the characteristics of the characters behind. In the simplest dialogue, Leon's lens reflects the image of his boss sitting opposite him and lighting a cigarette-the lens omits the anti-beating lens! In this scene, the picture of the fat man appeared twice, which gave us enough hints. This is a sign of change.
The next scene is the fat man who comes angrily in the photo. The face of the old gatekeeper is constantly blocked by the shadows of passing people, which indicates what will happen and the identity of these people-there are no redundant lines, and the changes of light and shadow are used to reveal the identity characteristics of the characters. When the fat man and others entered the room, as soon as the fat man saw the prostitute, he changed the action time and only said one sentence: one hour. -The subtext is obvious. The refinement of language is immeasurable.
LEON's appearance is even more amazing! When the fat man's five men were killed by Lyon, there were almost no close-up images of Lyon: several shots were fired and the bloody telephone receiver fell to the ground; The man standing in the corridor looked downstairs, and the camera slowly advanced from behind him, making the audience think that the murderer was behind him, but the man was strangled by a rope from above, and so on. From these short films, you can see the production style of Hollywood movies-you will definitely see what you want to see, but in a way you will never imagine!
Finally, after the fat man found that all his men had died at the hands of Leon, the picture showed him frantically looking for various ways to escape in the room, and his voice was his shortness of breath. Just as the fat man dialed the police station, a knife came out from behind him and hung around his neck-music and sound (fat man's breathing) stopped, and the picture was dark except for a beam of sidelights hitting the fat man and Lyon. The director only let us see these two people!
The appearance of prostitutes added a lot of color to the scene. The confrontation between Leon and the fat man was quite tense before. At this time, the prostitute just appeared, looked at the two and smiled awkwardly, then walked away. The director outlined a typical material girl with several shots. This is another major feature of Hollywood-the appearance of a character must undertake a certain mission, otherwise he is not allowed to appear at all. In this story, prostitutes play a role in easing the atmosphere and relaxing the audience. Because of the anger in the previous scene, the prostitute and the old lady in the scene of killing the little girl's family came to adjust the rhythm of the whole clip.
Or the scene where Lyon confronted the fat man. Finally, the fat man was scared to beg for mercy, and the siren outside the painting rang loudly. Remind us from the voice-it's time for a change.
Lyon in life only used a few short shots: buying milk at the grocery store; Take a bath in the bathroom and iron clothes in the room; Carefully wipe every leaf of his beloved potted flower by the window. Leon's handling of this pot of flowers was a foreshadowing for his later rescue of the little girl. How can you not save that girl if you treat a potted flower with such care?
Before the little girl Martita's family was killed, we can see some traces of the screenwriter through her words and deeds this morning: the purpose of the whole play is to send Martita away. Then these people at home must have a good reason to stay at home. Before going to work, my mother was entangled with my father-the scene of making love in the bathroom and the scene of my mother taking a bath in the bathtub; Needless to say, dad has no formal job; My sister does aerobics in front of the TV; Martita's only favorite brother is too young to go out. Only Mateta, a modest child, was forced to go shopping by her mother after an argument with her sister. This foreshadowed the story of the subsequent massacre and Martita's decision to take revenge. She didn't love her parents or her sister, but her favorite brother was killed by those policemen.
Martita met Leon in the corridor and said that she would buy milk for Leon. Martita watched Leon so carefully that she knew that Leon wanted two quarts of milk! This makes us not surprised by the legendary story of Martita and Leon.
When Martita came back from shopping, she found that all her family members had been killed, so she went directly to Leon's room and begged Leon to open the door. It was shot in slow motion while Martita was walking. Because when she walked here, she had to complete a series of psychological activities, such as finding that her family was killed-holding back her sadness-and decided to go through her own door to seek Leon's protection. If it is changed to normal shooting time, it is difficult for these psychological activities to be completely expressed through the lens. The assumed time of upgrade shooting used here has been extended, so that the audience can complete the reconstruction of Martita's psychological activities within the extended time of this assumption.
Leon's actions make us anxious-he has been observing the slaughter outside through the keyhole, and we all know that Leon will definitely open the door for Marta. So the door finally opened, and the warm sunshine symbolizing life shone on the little girl's face-Martita was saved!
The film arranged the relationship between Martita and Leon. And arranged a perverted police image, which is impossible in Hollywood movies and mainstream western society! But the end of the film gives the audience a satisfactory ending: Leon and the police mutually assured destruction. Although the film shows us an extremely lovely killer, the killer is a killer after all and is not allowed to survive by the whole mainstream society. However, if this film was made by our domestic director, it must be: at last, Leon died, the little girl left the discovery field in grief and walked away, and the shot was upgraded from close-range to panoramic-the end. If you shoot like this, it won't be a commercial movie!
Luc besson is smart enough to make the whole movie have two endings-one is to let Leon die, and the other is to let the little girl Martita go back to school. The ending sets the tone of the whole movie-it is for most people, in other words, the movie is commercial.
