Growing up environment

Tom Cruise was born on July 3, 1962. His father was an electrical engineer in New York and his mother was a drama actress. His family life was full of hardships. This allowed Cruise to develop a hard-working spirit and an optimistic attitude towards life. His early wish was to be a priest and he studied at San Francisco Theological Seminary. He came into contact with film and television literature by chance. He participated in a performance of a musical on campus. From then on, he became fascinated by drama and performance and joined a local theater. Later, he used the money he prepared to travel to Europe to seek development in the entertainment industry in New York. In Hollywood in the 1980s, there were a group of youth idols who were extremely talented in acting and were known as "stupid" stars. Tom Cruise was one of them. Other actors who hold this "laurel" include Jude Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and many more. To this day, only Tom Cruise and Demi Moore have gone through the test and successfully transformed from playing high school idols to playing adult roles, becoming super movie stars with both fame and fortune, and only Croton has achieved a box office performance of more than 1 billion US dollars. Ruth alone. From a youth idol to a mature film giant, Tom Cruise relies not only on his handsome appearance and charming smile that everyone loves, but also on his firm will and serious style. In order to find a job, Cruz moved his wife and children at least a dozen times. The ever-changing environment made Cruise as physically strong as an athlete, but his academic performance was very poor: not only was he dyslexic, but the constant transfer of schools also made it difficult for him to master learning methods.

When Cruise was 12 years old, his parents divorced, and his life with his mother and three sisters settled down. Cruise became the only "man" in the family.

Enter acting

The muscular Cruise originally planned to be a professional wrestler, but an accidental knee injury shattered his dream. After that, he spent a year in retreat in a monastery, and finally chose the career of actor as his life goal. No one asked anything of him, but Cruise set a deadline for himself: to become a productive actor within ten years. He initially appeared in some plays at his high school, but soon dropped out and moved to New York. There, he ate hot dogs and rice every day, searching for every audition opportunity, "like a wild beast in the jungle." And these countless auditions ended in failure because he was "not handsome enough" or his performance was "too enthusiastic". In 1981, in order to win a small role in a sitcom, Cruise traveled a long way to Los Angeles on the West Coast. Although he was once again rejected from the set because his skin was too dark, this trip to Los Angeles was the first turning point in Cruise's acting career - here he met a woman named Paula ·Wagner's agent, who helped him step onto the road to stardom. On Wagner's recommendation, Cruise finally landed a fleeting, small role as a teenage arsonist in Brooke Shields' flop "Endless Love." After playing the role, which earned him no pay, Cruise hitchhiked back to New Jersey. After returning home, he learned that he had landed a small role in Taps. But due to the temporary withdrawal of another actor, he ended up playing a more important role - the militant cadet David Sean. This breakthrough made Cruise ecstatic, and his chiseled face began to attract the attention of directors and producers.

Youth Idol

In 1983, Tom Cruise starred in four movies. "Losin' It" was the first film to feature Cruise in a starring role, playing the sensitive older boy Woody. The dull storyline and Cruise's childish performance caused the film to fail miserably at the box office and critically, but the blow made Cruise realize that he could not be a teenage idol who could be manipulated by others. Another movie "Risky Business" in 1983 was Cruise's most famous work. His image of a rich man in a period of youth confusion aroused the excitement of his contemporaries. In the same year, he persuaded the great director Francis Coppola to play the role of Strong Steve in "Outsiders" (1983), starring Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze and many others. Rising stars are appearing in the film. Since then, they have been known as the "smelly sect". Cruise's star status was solidified in 1986 with "Top Gun," a youth drama about a U.S. Navy fighter pilot. Handsome pilots, fast motorcycles, fierce air battles, beautiful girls, and beautiful music... This modern heroic myth has fascinated many boys and girls. But the "cool" Tom Cruise did not get carried away because of this. He knew very well that this movie, which choreographed the flying movements of fighter jets to pop music melodies, was nothing more than a recruitment advertisement for the U.S. Navy, and it was far from what he was pursuing. Far.

Prove talent

In order to get rid of his status as a sex icon, Cruise began to try a very popular film format at the end of the 1980s: old-young couples.

In 1986, when "Top Gun" was a success, he co-starred with film veteran Paul Newman in "Color of Money", in which he played the young and energetic billiards genius Vincent. , the film brought Paul Newman an Oscar; in 1988, he played Rain Man's brother Charlie in "Rain Man" (although critics focused on the starring role of Da Sting Hoffman, but the ever-changing role of Charlie is more difficult than the always dull "Rain Man"); in 1992, Cruise and Jack Nicholson starred in the courtroom film "A Few Good Men" "Few Good Man" (Few Good Man), the film also received an Academy Award nomination. In addition, his performance as disabled Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic in the anti-war film Born on the Fourth of July (1989) earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. Nominated for the Lead Actor Award and the Academy Award for Best Actor. Although Cruise's courage and acting skills have been tested many times, until 1994 there were still some people who ignored his achievements in serious films and stubbornly believed that he was just an actor who won by his appearance. In 1994, when Anne Rice, the author of the novel "Interview with the Vampire" learned that Cruise would star in the movie of the same name based on the novel, she wrote an article publicly opposing the arrangement. But after the film was released, her attitude changed 180 degrees. She published a lengthy article in Variety magazine praising Cruise's portrayal of the vampire Lestat. "I think Tom's Lestat will be as timeless as Laurence Olivier's Hamlet."

Brilliant achievements

In 1996, Cruise's two movies "The Spy" Mission: Impossible and Jerry Maguire were released one after another. From then on, critics no longer used words like "sexy idol" to describe him. The action blockbuster "Mission: Impossible", which cost more than 60 million US dollars, was Cruise's first solid step from actor to director. His results are comparable to those of Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson, but Cruise was only 34 years old at this time. "Mission: Impossible" also made Cruise another top action hero after Harrison Ford. And the universal acclaim received by the romantic drama Sweetheart was a testament to Cruise's comedic potential. In 1999, Cruise changed his acting career and co-starred with his beloved wife Nicole Kidman in Stanley Kubrick's posthumous work, the sex-themed thriller "Eyes Wide Shut." At the end of the year, he starred in Paul Thomas Anderson's family drama "Magnolia" (Magnolia), for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Cruise will undoubtedly be a model that everyone admires in Hollywood in the 21st century: under the age of 40, he has already joined the $20 million club; he is second only to the gray-haired Harrison Ford in terms of box office performance; he has his own production company Company; "Mission: Impossible: The Next Generation" starring him set off a box office frenzy in the summer of 2000 despite mediocre reviews. In 2001, he collaborated with director Cameron Crowe again after "Sweetheart" to film the fantasy thriller "Vanilla Sky". In mid-2002, he also collaborated with Steven Spielberg on the science fiction blockbuster "Minority Report".

Summary evaluation

Cruise is different from many actors and stars in that he does not have talented acting skills. His success relies entirely on his continuous learning and hard training to overcome his own weaknesses. , supplement useful experience. The spirit of hard work in his early years helped him greatly. Finally, he relied on his perseverance and hard work to achieve success and glory step by step. Cruise's first film was "Taps" (1982), a comedy that reflected life in the military camp. Cruise has since embarked on a road of struggle intertwined with tears and sweat.

Subsequently, he performed in some films: "Risky Business" (1983), "The Outsider", "All the right moves" (1983) and "Legend" (1985), But there was little response. Cruise continues to hone his acting skills in silence and silence, and he firmly believes that if you work hard, you will be rewarded. Sure enough, "Top Gun" ("Top Gun") in 1986 became an instant hit, and Cruise immediately became a screen idol in the minds of millions of American youths with his heroic and handsome image as a pilot in the naval masterpiece "Sweetheart". Later, "The Color of Money" and "Cocktail" (1988) also achieved good results, but it was "Rain Man" that really made Cruise a movie star. ("Rain Man" 1988) and "Born on the Fourth of July" (1989). Although Dustin Hoffman was the leading star in "Rain Man" and outshone Cruise, Cruise's outstanding acting skills in the film were greatly appreciated by the audience and the director. Immediately afterwards, "Born on the Fourth of July" pushed him to the peak of luck, and he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Actor.
