The film describes a princess from a modern European country visiting Rome. She is distressed by the bureaucratic red tape and the control of attendants, and longs for a free life in the outside world. In the evening, the physician gave her sleeping pills. After the maid-in-waiting served her to sleep, she took the opportunity to put on casual clothes and sneaked out of the hotel. Just as she walked into the street and rejoiced in her behavior, the sleeping pills she had just taken had an attack. She was unstable and fell on an American reporter on a park bench. The reporter thought she was a homeless tramp, so he helped her home. The princess was so sleepy that she fell flat on the bed. The reporter threw her on the sofa in disgust and slept comfortably on the big bed. The next day, he opened the morning paper, and the news and photos of the princess's disappearance jumped into his eyes! He jumped up quickly and respectfully carried the sleeping princess back to the big bed. The reporter's professional consciousness made him call a photographer and take the princess to play. This is exactly what the princess wants. The three of them had a good time in Rome and took photos. On the other hand, the Roman authorities and the embassy of a country were in a hurry and sent a large number of troops to search for the whereabouts of the princess. It was not until the evening that the exhausted princess returned to the embassy, and a false alarm ended. A few days later, at the reception, the princess and the reporter met unexpectedly and they looked at each other affectionately. However, the status of the royal family and civilians is very different, and neither side dares to dream. Although they are soul mates, they have to leave with regret.
After the film was broadcast, the European and American film circles made a sensation. The beautiful and charming princess in the play fascinated the fans. She was played by Audrey Hepburn.
Hepburn was born in Brussels, Belgium on 1929. My father is an Irish-born British businessman and my mother is a Dutch countess. Influenced by family education, Hepburn left an elegant and charming aristocratic demeanor. At the age of four, she was sent to a private school in England for a good education. Her parents divorced when she was six, but she stayed there until she was ten.
At that time, Europe was shrouded in the smoke of war. My mother took Hepburn back to her hometown Holland. I thought it would be safer, but I didn't expect her family to fall into the hands of fascists. Hepburn, a teenager, is growing up, but she wanders between hunger and poverty all day long. At that time, the whole family was always facing the threat of death, and Hepburn still donated the money earned from his ballet performance to the Dutch resistance. In the harsh war environment, she studied ballet diligently in a local art school and was fascinated by this elegant art. At the end of the war, she was qualified to go to England for further study with excellent results, and then became a professional ballet dancer.
However, years of hunger and poverty have eroded her body, and Hepburn has always been thin. To be a professional ballet dancer, you can't do it without excellent physical fitness. Due to physical exhaustion, she had to give up the career she loved very reluctantly, and was later forced by life to become a fashion model and a showgirl.
195 1 year, Zappi, director of the Federal Film Company, took a fancy to Hepburn and invited her to star in Laughter in Heaven. Due to my low reputation and other reasons, I ended up playing an insignificant waitress role. But since then, she has started a film career.
When Hepburn first entered the film circle, he devoted himself to the art of dance for many years, ignoring his performance skills. Although she looks outstanding, she is often rejected by film companies and plays a small role at most. However, the clever and tenacious Hepburn is full of confidence in himself. In her spare time, she took part in a performance training class organized by the famous movie star Felix Elmer and devoted herself to learning performance. Hepburn, who gradually revealed his talent, rose from a humble little actor to a dazzling star in one movie after another.
The success of Roman Holiday made Hepburn famous. Born in a noble family, Hepburn is lively and cheerful, and with the charming appearance endowed by God, she plays the princess like a duck to water. More importantly, she is smart and studious. After a year's training, her acting skills have been greatly improved. When she first appeared on the screen, the feeling of formality and convergence was gone forever, and she played a cheerful person, which coincided with the role and plot. Hepburn accurately captured the princess's aversion to hypocrisy and etiquette, her desire for freedom, and her freshness to the civilian world. A princess full of youthful vitality, innocence and ignorance of the world was played alive. Hepburn 1953 won the Academy Award and was the best actress of new york film critics. Her beautiful short hair in the film was imitated as the name of Hepburn, which was all the rage.
Hepburn's sensation is not easy to explain. Billy white, the director who directed the film Sabrina starring Hepburn, once said: "Since Garbo, there has never been such a figure: the director can't help taking close-ups of her again and again-taking pictures of her dignified big eyes, seductive sweet smile, lively manners and fiery feelings. You left the cinema, but her voice and smile often appeared in front of you, lingering and unforgettable. " Indeed, Hepburn is a photographer's pet, because she is beautiful from any angle.
1955, Hepburn dominated the British and American film circles, and no one could beat him. This year, Hepburn starred in an epic film War and Peace, which was adapted by Paramount Company from Tolstoy's book of the same name. Since then, it has caused a sensation in the film industry and lasted for a long time. No one dares to set foot on this subject again. Natasha, played by Hepburn, is beautiful in appearance and refined in character. All aspects of Natasha's personality development, from her joy and eagerness when she first fell in love with Andre, to her shame and regret when she was seduced by her slutty son Anatoly, and to the deep prudence when Andre finally married Pierre after her death, are all true, vivid and full of levels, which is worth pondering. The audience wrote back and said, "Hepburn is so good. Every time I open the novel War and Peace, Natasha in Hepburn's face pops up on the page."
In addition, Hepburn also appeared in a series of works, such as Baby Monte Carlo, Pretty Man, Nun Biography, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady, Robin Hood and marion. , wrote a unique page in the history of film.
As an angel, Hepburn is virtuous and artistic. First of all, in terms of family life, Hepburn is devoted to love and family, but the marriage is not smooth. After taking a selfie of Ondina, Hepburn faked it with the actor mel ferrer and married him, although he had been divorced many times. Hepburn only had her beloved husband and children in her eyes. Soon after, she found out that Ferrer had a crush on a Spanish girl. Her sincere nature could not tolerate such deception, so she resolutely ended her first marriage. When Hepburn was hiding in Italy to recuperate, Roman psychologist Andrea Dotti comforted and healed her spiritual wounds with sincere love. As a result, Hepburn staged a Roman holiday in his life, ending with a cheerful wedding March. To this end, Hepburn gave up his film career for more than ten years.
Secondly, Hepburn's professional ethics is admirable. In her nearly 30-year film career, she has made 26 films (including a TV series) and starred in 20 films, almost the least among the famous actors in European and American film circles.
She adhered to the principle of "quality is better than quantity" and carefully selected scripts. As long as she is satisfied, it doesn't hurt to get less salary. When filming How to Steal One Million, Hepburn also took the initiative to reduce his salary from $6,543,800+0,000 to $750,000, which was in sharp contrast with those who were striving for profit.
Hepburn is very cultured and never puts on airs. All her achievements are due to the director's help. In fact, her brilliance comes from her diligence and dedication. Her acting skills are profound and touching, and she is a real performing artist. She never poses in front of the camera, let alone nudity and teasing to please the audience.
She seems to have a magic power to turn decay into magic. Some commercial directors, such as Jane Dunning and Edward, once they cooperate with Hepburn, they can purify and sublimate and make films with high artistic standards.
Hepburn's beauty is fresh and elegant, and it is really beautiful from the inside out. Her image undoubtedly satisfies people's pursuit of the most beautiful. Most of her screen models are naive, lively and kind girls, as one comment said: "Men regard her as the most ideal woman, and women regard her as the object of envy."
However, this outstanding feature of her is also her shortcoming. She has always been unable to jump out of the fresh and lovely image box, showing the lack of innovation.
Most of her films are sketches for people to appreciate, and the characters seem to come out of myths, lacking thought-provoking connotations. Hepburn said: "I don't ask for high artistic value, as long as the film is interesting and entertaining." This concept will inevitably make her performing arts have certain limitations.
It can be seen that an excellent actor must be versatile. After all, Hepburn created a beautiful era for the screen, and people will never forget her.
