Oscar for Best Acting at 82… A wave of condolences on the death of Colonel’Sound of Music’

Christopher Plummer, an actor in Colonel Trap from the classic musical movie’The Sound of Music’, died at his home in Connecticut, USA on the 5th (local time). 91 years old. His wife, Elaine Taylor, who had been with him for 51 years, died. The New York Times cited the bereaved family and revealed that the death of the deceased was caused by a fall in the head. ‘The Sound of Music’ counterpart actor Julie Andrews mourned in a statement, “Today the world has lost a competent actor, and I have lost a precious friend.”

The deceased was born in Toronto, Canada in 1929, as the great-grandson of former Canadian Prime Minister John Abbott. After the divorce of his parents, he grew up in Quebec, traveling to and from the palace of his great-grandfather. I studied to become a pianist when I was young, but while I was in high school in Montreal, I woke up to acting when I watched the movie’Henry V’, directed by Lawrence Olivier. When he was a teenager, he was selected as a stage director in a student play and made his Broadway debut in the 50s while working as an actor in Canada. She has also regularly appeared in authentic plays of the British National Theater and Royal Shakespeare Company, including Shakespeare’s drama’Hamlet’,’King Lear’ and’Henry V’. He was nominated for the Tony Award seven times and won the Tony Award twice for the musical’Sirano’ in 1974 and the autobiographical play’Barrymore’ by famous actor John Barrymore (Grandfather Drew Barrymore) in 1997.
On the screen, director Sidney Lummett made his debut as a playwright in the romance’Stage Struct’ (1958) behind the scenes of a theater in New York, and has appeared in over 100 Hollywood movies over half a century.

The successive work is definitely’The Sound of Music’. This musical film, which was released in the United States in 1965 when the deceased was thirty-six, won five awards, including Academy Awards for Best Works, Directors, and Music Awards the following year. It’s the foundation. The deceased played Colonel Trapp, a stubborn father who lost his wife and raised seven siblings alone. After healed by Maria (Julie Andrews), a youthful tutor from the convent, Colonel Trapp goes on an exile in Switzerland with the whole family. The screening time of over 170 minutes, such as’Edelweiss,’ which the deceased sang while playing the guitar, was filled with beautiful songs, and at the time of its first opening at the Daehan Theater in Seoul in 69 years in Korea, it was rumored to be “a masterpiece to see with children from 3 years old to the elderly”. Together with’Lawrence of Arabia’, the case was full.

Previously, the deceased, who was close to obscurity in Hollywood, rose to stardom as a character full of excellence that turns 180 degrees into love in this movie. In fact, he himself had a hard time playing a hard character in three dimensions, and criticized this work as being overly sentimental. In an interview with People Magazine in the United States in 1982, “For a terrible role like Bourne Trap, I had to mobilize all the tricks I knew to fill in the empty body of the role. That damn movie haunts me.” It was also a bitter attitude toward fame. In the same year, the British daily The Times said, “Thank God, I am not a superstar. My God, being a superstar must be extremely tired and limited.” However, the deceased later admitted to several official statues that he was proud of his youth and understood why’Sound of Music’ was so loved and was a great family musical.

The deceased took on a charismatic role, such as the noble appearance, rich voice with heavy bass and sharp eyes, such as the adventure film “The Man Who Wanted to Be King” starring Sean Connery and Michael Kane, and “Murder Order”, which played Sherlock Holmes. From the Pixar animation’Up’, which challenged the voice of the old villain, to the fantasy action’Star Trek 6-The Unknown World’, the sci-fi thriller ’12 Monkeys’, and the thriller’Insider’. At the age of 90, he worked vigorously until the end of the year, starting with the role of a wealthy mystery writer caught in a suicide case in the thriller’Nives Out’.
In an interview with the American movie channel’Turner Classic Movie’ in 2008, “(In the beginning) my role was tense, urban and sophisticated young people. It was boring and boring,” he said, welcoming the wider freedom of roles as he grew older.

It has also set a record for the oldest award in all the Academy Acting Awards. In 2010, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Tolstoy in’The Last Life of Tolstoy’, and two years later, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award for’Beginners’ two years later. In this film, the deceased plays an old man who confesses to his son that he is gay after being sentenced to terminally ill with his wife. At that time, holding an Oscar trophy on the 84th Academy Awards winning stage, “You are only two years older than me. Where have I been in my whole life?” The deceased, who won the Emmy Awards in 1977 and 94 for the TV drama “Money Changer” and “Madeline,” became the 19th actor to achieve the “Acting Triple Crown” with Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Awards following Ingrid Bergman and Jeremy Irons.

In 2017, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor at eighteen with the true film “All the Money,” by Jean Paul Getty, the oil tycoon, and even set a record for the oldest acting award nomination ever. In’All the Money’, the deceased, who originally starred Kevin Spacey, got off on charges of sexual crimes, and joined six weeks before the release and showed the prowess of completely retaking the lead role. Director Ridley Scott, who was in charge of directing, told an English Guardian at the time, “This man is a real coloring book. I can do anything.”
The deceased boasted of British actor Taylor, who had failed two marriages and signed the third hundred years in 1970. There is also Amanda Plummer, the only daughter of her first wife, American actor and singer Tommy Grims.

The news of the death waved mourning in Hollywood. Actor Helen Mirren, who took a breath in’Tolstoy’s Last Life,’ said in an official statement to various foreign media, “He was strong both as a man and as an actor. When it comes to his dedication to his profession, he said, “It was an actor in the sense of the 19th century. He was fearless, energetic, courageous, knowledgeable, professional, and a monumental actor for everything that could be an actor.” “Beginners” director Mike Mills also said in a statement, “It was a great honor to work with Christopher. When we met, he was in his 80s, and Christopher was dignified, spiteful, educated, and always wanted to find a good laugh.”
Actor Chris Evans, who was with me in’Nives Out’, posted on his Twitter account, “It’s really heartbreaking. It’s an incredible loss,” he wrote. “Mr. Plummer is an actor who brought more than 50 years of experience with actors like Orson Wells,” said Pitt Doctor of’Up’ to the American entertainment media variety. “He was confident and stubborn, but he kept his promises well. When I recorded the role of Charles Muntz in’Up’, every take was strong, honest, trustworthy, and gave me a greater dimension and depth than anything we could have imagined.” Actor Hugh Jackman said on his Facebook page, “I am very sad about the news of my acting hero Christopher Plummer.” “I cried from the first scene when I saw his (play)’King Lear’. It was just pure perfection.” Director Ridley Scott mourned in a statement that “great man, great talent, great life.”
