Brad Pitt: the filmography of the actor. The latest news about Breda Pitt

What is the secret of the success of a Hollywood actor? What is of decisive importance here? Personal talent? Simple luck and an elementary coincidence of circumstances? Or simply large funds invested in promotion, and their competent use? The correct answer is that all these factors matter. But the constituent parameters of this formula can vary appreciably.

The image of success

Even in Hollywood, he does not have a lot of competitors in terms of popularity. The image of Brad Pitt has long been a visible embodiment of a blinding success. Today it is not so easy to imagine that his acting career at the very beginning was not very brilliant. Brad Pitt, whose filmography numbered dozens of roles in the first plan in the most successful and box office projects, managed to work as a driver, freight forwarder and barker in a restaurant in his youth. And such a life school was not useless. She influenced the formation of character. When success comes to a person undeservedly, he does not stay long.

Start

His professional career began with small roles in television series, in particular in Dallas. The roles of the second plan were successful to William Bradley Pitt (this is the real name of the actor) just brilliant. And it did not go unnoticed. The main roles did not take long to wait. "The dark side of the sun" - many critics tend to believe that it is from this movie that the actor Brad Pitt begins. His filmography to the beginning of work on these projects, there were already about a dozen episodic roles. But his undoubted actor's talent unfolded in full only in this tape. Despite the difficult fate of this film, actor Brad Pitt became after him widely known and in demand. Suggestions for new roles began to come to him one after another.

Swift take-off

After a successful debut, the actor was given the opportunity to choose proposals for participation in new projects. He worked a lot and selflessly. Films featuring Brad Pitt went out for hire one by one. Throughout the nineties, a long string of tapes with bright works of this actor. Many of them have long been ranked among the generally recognized Hollywood classics. "Where the river flows," "Thelma and Louise," "Legends of Autumn," "Interview with the Vampire", without the slightest doubt, led Brad Pitt to the category of Hollywood stars of the first magnitude.

In 1995, he was first nominated for an Oscar for best supporting role in the film "Twelve Monkeys." That year, it was limited only to the nomination. But later Brad Pitt, the filmography of which includes many recognized masterpieces, will repeatedly become the owner of various kinds of higher cinematographic prizes and other honorable regalia.

"Seven Years in Tibet"

Everyone has already become accustomed to the fact that the films where Brad Pitt was filmed are constantly at the forefront of public attention. But this tape, which was released in 1997, has a very special fate, judging by the degree of public resonance that it caused. In support of this, it is enough to cite the simple fact that Brad Pitt, who played the main role in this film, was awarded a lifetime ban on entry into the territory of China.

This film narrative is based on real historical events. It is about the occupation of Tibet by China. Brad Pitt plays the role of the protagonist, climber, at the mercy of historical circumstances for many years stuck in this highland country. At the same time, the historical events of the end of the Second World War are depicted in the film with a fairly high degree of certainty.

"Fight club"

This, of course, is one of the most vivid and ambiguous films in the career of an actor. Brad Pitt, whose filmography by 1999, when he went to hire "Fight Club", already counted a lot of conquered peaks, could afford such risky experiments. And he did not miscalculate. Today, after years, no one doubts that this film has become a cult.

In the center of this striking paradoxical work is the image of a rebel and subversive of the foundations of the existing social system of Tyler Dörden. About the images and senses of this unusual film said and written so many that from critical articles about it you can collect a separate library. Most analysts willingly include it in a variety of ratings, which lists the best films of all time and peoples in the history of world cinematography. In these honorary lists, "Fight Club" always appears in the upper part. Last but not least, this film is due to the brilliant actor's work of Brad Pitt, who played the main role in it.

"Inglourious Basterds"

This actor can be unexpected and never disappoints his fans. Quite often, the new Brad Pitt film is unlike anything that the public used to see before. The unexpected and bright role of the fighter with the Nazis was performed by the actor in the famous picture of Quentin Tarantino "Inglourious Basterds". This very controversial work, based on alternative versions of events in world history, allowed the director to create a whole gallery of memorable images. The artistic persuasiveness of the characters, one of which was brilliantly played by Brad Pitt, turned out to be much more important than historical unreliability of the storyline events. In this film, good fights against evil with all possible and impossible means and wins in the finals.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"

This is one of the most unusual and not similar to other films with the participation of Brad Pitt. The plot is based on one of the stories of Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The protagonist of this work is doomed to spend his life in reverse time sequence. He is born into an old man and lives, gradually becoming younger, moving towards infancy.

For all the surreality of the plot, he gives a lot of creativity to such a bright and unexpected actor, as Brad Pitt proved himself. He is not one of those creators who prefer to use the same once successfully found techniques, turning them into cliches. It is this peculiarity that makes the audience look forward to the implementation of each new project in which Brad Pitt is involved. Films with his participation are not boring. And the public is rarely deceived in their expectations.

In the center of public attention

Hollywood stars are usually very difficult to protect their privacy from the intrusive attention of the public to its small details. Is not an exception and Brad Pitt. The latest news and sensations about everything that has not the slightest relation to the world of cinematography, but is a private life of the actor, are actively circulating in the "yellow" segment of the media sphere.

The situation here is further complicated by the fact that in Hollywood it is usually not easy to draw a clear boundary between where private life ends and professional begins. Girlfriends of Pitt's life for a long time were such famous actresses as Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston. But for about ten years, Brad Pitt is married to Angelina Jolie. They have six children, of which three are foster children. In recent years, the actor has been playing a healthy sporting lifestyle and is trying to avoid bad habits and obsessive attention to his person.

Award of 2014

At the beginning of this year, the name of Brad Pitt was once again the focus of the media. The actor played an episodic role in the recently released movie "12 Years of Slavery" directed by Stevie McQueen. However, the reward was received for a different reason. The fact that Pitt was also the producer of this picture (therefore, in fact, he was in it and acted, as the director admitted). It was for the production of this film that he was awarded the prestigious award named after Darryl F. Zanuck.

The painting is an epic drama from the era of slavery in the south of the United States. In the center of the narrative is the fate of a free black man kidnapped in the north and sold into slavery in New Orleans. The film received excellent reviews in the film press. Most critics very highly appreciated both the level of directing, and the actor's work.

What should be expected in the near future from Brad Pitt to his many fans? The actor himself does not like to spread about his creative plans. But there is no doubt that he will not remain without work.
