The dignity of a famous actor

Movies have "dignity". No, strictly speaking, it's not the movie itself. This is because the dignity exuded by the cast is tied to the image of the movie, and in the end, the dignity of a movie comes from the nobility and dignity felt by the cast. For example, Audrey's soft inclusiveness, pure beauty, and slight mischievousness shine through as characteristics of Hepburn's films, and the dignity and dignity of the cast members shine through. I feel that class is an element that determines the dignity of a movie.

In that sense, Sean Connery, known for his work as the first James Bond, was a man who greatly boosted the dignity of movies. In ` `007/Dr. No '' (62), he played the first Bond in a stylish British suit. He embodied the cool, formal and skilled playboy spy, and formed the prototype for subsequent live-action Bonds. He went on to play Bond in six films, including ` `From Russia '' (63) and ` `Diamonds Are Forever '' (71), before saying goodbye to the role in `` Never Say, Never Again '' (1983). I told you.

Even after Bond, Sean Connery's success was incredible. In `` Murder on the Orient Express '' (1974), he co-starred with famous actors such as Albert Finney, John Gielgud, and Ingrid Bergman, leaving a strong presence. In `` The Name of the Rose '' (1986), his characteristically calm performance significantly determined his reputation as an actor. In `` Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade '' (1989), I had the impression that the quality of the work was elevated when the camera captured Sean Connery's appearance.

While some Bond actors struggle to shake off the image of their role as Bond, Sean Connery not only escapes from the fixed image of Bond for no reason, but also gains a reputation as a talented actor. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as an old policeman in `` The Untouchables '' (1987), and became a top actor in both name and reality, but he was born into a working-class family and had many hardships in his youth. After gaining experience as a milkman and steel worker, he began acting in the 1950s.

After that, Sean Connery, who has grown older and has become even more bitter, played a Soviet naval officer in ``The Hunt for Red October''” (1990) is one of the best films in his filmography. By this time, Sean Connery had reached a stage of maturity, and the 1980s and 1990s could be considered a career-high period in his acting career.

In this film, Scottish-born Sean Connery plays a Soviet national, but with the exception of a few scenes such as the beginning, the dialogue is conducted in English, so some say it lacks racial or linguistic reality. I can say it. However, it is. Even if it takes away some of the reality, Sean Connery's appearance has more benefits, transforming the film into something more noble, no matter how absurd the story. Isn't that the "dignity" that great actors have?
