One of the reasons why people decide to become actors is a unique opportunity to live several different lives, which provides the profession. But what if you created the image forever "stuck" to the performer?
The website offers the reader a selection of films in which hostages too successful roles have made desperate attempts to force the viewer to see themselves in a different light.
Being John Malkovich
Photo source: Ivi.Gianna smiling beauty Cameron Diaz at some point I realized that can get stuck in the image of a languid blonde or, even worse, in the way of enthusiastic fools (the Grand success of the Comedy "All without mind from Mary" could be such a stigma). And decided to play Lotte, the eccentric wife of the protagonist in a strange tragicomedy spike Jones. Actually, not everyone knew — dirty, with disheveled hair, hiding the face. It was a risky step, but useful.
Restless
Marilyn Monroe is also considered life worthless puppet, who can only pout, sulk and be cranky. Monroe was lucky — her then-husband, writer Arthur Miller, invited the Director to take on the role of strange women Roslin. So, the world learned that Dolly knows how to play dramatic roles. It's not just because Marilyn said that wants to play Sonia Marmeladov, she could. But this breakthrough came later — it was the last role of Monroe.
Edward Scissorhands
Johnny Depp in his youth was sweet and sugary, so that was his name only on the role of some dude and greenhorns. Not to die in soap foam, johnny took a risk and allowed myself to literally disfigure on the set — he was almost boiled alive in a crazy costume walking robot in the tear fairy tale by Tim Burton. The result was worth it: first, Depp became friends with the chief Director in my life. Second, immediately after that, he started calling the main roles of masters and legends of cinema.
Poison ivy
The case of drew Barrymore special — she wanted to get rid of not invented by the filmmakers of the image and the reputation of alcoholics and drunks. Coming out of a drug clinic, drew played a cruel and exciting role ivy, homeless and vicious stuff, which fit into someone else's family and destroys everything to the ground. In fact, the shock in this picture left of all: the cute girl from "E. T." suddenly grew up and played at the level of serious actors. In General, got its reputation out of the darkness.
On the road
The main star of "Twilight," Kristen Stewart desperately needed something else after this endless Saga, where it was held with a dead person. And access was the road movie "On the road", for which Kristen was ready for anything. Sex scenes and nudity, scandals and fights, she even lowered her fee to get the coveted role. As a result, now, miss Stuart, the Muse of Olivier Assayas and starred woody Allen. And this, say you — a sign of quality.
12 monkeys
Brad pitt is also in the beginning of his career he was afraid to get stuck in a series of roles of heroes-lovers and charming vagrants, so agreed to play a psycho in a creepy dystopia of Terry Gilliam. Jeffrey Goines, the crazy offspring of a brilliant scientist — one of the best roles in the filmography of pitt and his first nomination for "Oscar". Further known: the glory, the rise to the top, the fees and other pleasures.
Fight club
Helena Bonham Carter wasn't always an insane barbed rose: in the late 90s, the British actress was lasting fame heroine costume dramas. Corsets, light haze of bewilderment on her face, homeliness and accent. Some fans of the book screaming: "This nasty woman for the role of Marla singer?!". As you know, after the movie came out everybody shut up. The image was fit like a glove and appears to no longer goes. Because Bellatrix Lestrange — the same Marla only with a stick and served time in Azkaban.
The Truman Show
Jim Carrey at some point, it became clear — if he doesn't play at least one major role, he will be the clown for everyone. He was incredibly lucky: to imagine another in the role of man, for whose life the world has witnessed, impossible. It is a wholly its role, the exact hit — he is charming, sweet, shy, a kind of perfect hero tales from the incubator. "The Truman show" worked for the glory: Kerry has begun to offer powerful dramatic characters.
The Scarecrow
This case is special. In addition, Michael J. Fox had all the forces to get rid of the image of Marty McFly from the Saga Back to the future, it was important for him to play without arousing suspicion: in 1991 Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and for a long time he kept it a secret. Helped actor Peter Jackson and his terrible tale of death and love. The role of Michael — Frank Bannister — murky identity in all respects, but the actor is such person that, in General, nobody would believe that this cute guy could be the killer.
Man — Swiss army knife
You may laugh, but years later this picture will be called a cult and exemplary. Because there is no other piece of material. Hank (Paul dano) gets stuck on the island. He is ready to commit suicide, but then the surf brings a "friend" — the flatulent corpse of the unknown. Together they will embark on a treacherous journey full of discoveries about the world and about yourself.
