Brief biography films

Charles Bronson Charles Bringson, I would be surprised at this fact if I did not know that our world had long gone crazy. Who is the first Brondus - I don’t know and I don’t want to know, because there was only one Charles Bronson - a great American actor on planet Earth on planet Earth. And this is by no means an exaggeration. If you heard something about this guy and perceive him as a hero of cheap primitive militants, you are very mistaken.

An interview with the famous film critic of Roger Ebert with Charles Bronezon from April was preceded by the following words: “Charles Bronson is considered the most popular movie star in the world. Not in America. " Of course, he was not at that time the most popular in the USSR, although we knew him from a “magnificent seven” and, especially in China, but the “rest of the world” in the representation of the Americans was also not small - it was at least Western Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan.

It was in the most developed countries of the world that Brondes was considered a superstar that the achievement in itself is outstanding. Bronds on the set of “Thirst for Death” with director Michael Winner Bronson on the set of “Thirst for Death” with director Michael Winner And when the main film of Bronson was released in the same year - “Thirst for Death”, Charles became one of the most popular actors and at home.

If you look with a cursory look at the career of Bronson and take a closer look at the actor himself at the turn of the XX, then the main question that comes to mind: how did he succeed? Charles Frame from the film "Mechanic" Charles Frame from the film "Mechanic" by the time he became a movie star, Charles was fulfilled fifty dollars, which is a very solid age for the actor of militants and westerns.

I cannot recall a single other actor who could become a Hollywood star so late, acting in films where physical training is the fundamental part of the actor's work. Among the actors of other genres, this happens, but also not often: the example of Leslie Nielsen, who became the main comedian of the planet after and years, is by no means indicative. Nielsen is also an exception to the rules.

Age was not the only minus of Bronson. The star actor does not have to be beautiful, but he must be charming! It is difficult to call the Bronson itself in isolation from his heroes: narrow “Tatar” eyes, a prickly look, face -dotted face ... Bronson in Western S. In translation into Russian, this sounds extremely disgusting, but I would not say that the Italians were too cruel to him.

American journalist Stephen Hunter in an article about Bronson wrote about him: “Charles Bronson always possessed an ambiguous charisma:“ Was he a ugly handsome man or a beautiful ugly man? From the point of view of the craft possessed, there was also a lot of gaps: Charles was quite a single -plane actor who was ideally suited for militants, military films and westerns, but in all other genres looked out of place.

Bronson with his wife, actress Jill Airland Brondes with his wife - actress Jill Airland, if you look at Bringson with a critical look, he was too ordinary for the star: a middle -sided guy, without much charm and does not have a clearly expressed acting talent. In theory, such people become cinemas very rarely, but in real life Charles managed to climb into the Hollywood Olympus, scattering all his competitors to the sides.

And there were many competitors in the struggle for the title of “king of militants”! Brinner and S. McQueen in the “magnificent seven” by Yu. McCuin in the “magnificent seven” by the end of the legendary John Wayne was still in the ranks, Kirk Douglas did not go into circulation, a little earlier became the stars of charismatic and more charming Yul Brinner with Steve Maccuin. Bert Reynolds and Clint Eastwood Bert Reynolds and Clint Eastwood almost simultaneously with Charles the world recognized the incomparable Clint Eastwood, next to which, what a sin to hide, the figure of Bronson seems to be a small and figurative sense, although I met another opinion.

Sean Connery and Roger Moore possessed Sharm James Bond, which was an important advantage in absentee confrontation with any of the competitors. In this solid by the names of the company, Charles Bronson was not just lost, but managed to conquer an honorable place under the Hollywood sun and even many years after his death he was not forgotten by the public, occupying the place of one of the main characters of all time in the history of the movie - somewhat behind Schwarzenegger and Stallone ...

How did he succeed? I have one hypothesis that explains why the summer Brondus ascended the Hollywood Olympus and was able to hold out on it for a very long time. At all times, adolescents and young people are looking for examples for imitation, and the main examples on which they are guided by are by no means who are not fathers who are often there are no other close relatives, but stars of show business: movie star, musicians and athletes.And it is quite natural that of all the male roles that exist in the world of cinema, the younger generation most often addresses “good cool guys”.

It is unlikely that many adolescents want to imitate Jim Carrie’s comedic heroes, but Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger are those actors who would like to move around millions of ordinary teenagers in the same. Breeson with Delon in the detective militant “Farewell, friend! The difference and more charismatic and charming competitors were that it was that it was that it Most of all, for a role -playing model of an ideal father, which is needed by almost any teenager - and it doesn’t matter whether he is growing in a full family or not.

It is exactly what the real father should be. And age in this case was the advantage of Bronson over his competitors. John Wayne at that time was already Star, he was a grandfather for teenagers, and most other heroes of westerns and militants are younger than Charles. It was difficult for young spectators of years to perceive the virtual father of the Summer Clint Eastwood and Steve Maccuin, who looked even younger on the screen, and Bronson, who was far over forty, fit perfectly into this image.

Charles in the military film "You cannot defeat them all" Charles in the military film "You will not be able to defeat them all" in such perception by the audience, Charles's inconspicuousness also played a significant role. Bronson was not perceived as a celestial. Almost any Hollywood star on the screen looks like an inhabitant of Olympus, unattainable for ordinary mortals, but Charles was the same as we all - an ordinary person living in the neighborhood.

A nondescript boy of medium height could not imagine himself with some kind of Clint Eastwood, since such male copies in nature are not common. Even having bought a “magnum” if you lived in the States, it was almost impossible to become “dirty Harry”, but turning into Charles Bronson, quite. Become strong, be courageous, buy a gun and you are almost Brondes.

Of course, women have some other ideas about the ideal man, so in the girl’s environment Charles Bronson was never popular. The biography of Charles Bronson is interesting not only because an unremarkable guy was able to become his own among competitors as Yul Brinner, Clint Eastwood and Sean Connery, grunting his handful of fame, but also how he did it. His path to the tops of the Hollywood hills was extremely long and winding, when Charles hit 20 years, it would not have occurred to anyone that he would become an actor.

And the point is not just that Bronson was born in an extremely poor mining family. The problem was that the American Charles Buchinski did not speak English very well ... 76 Bronson is almost our fellow countryman, since he leads his pedigree from the Russian Empire. His father was of Tatar origin and emigrated to America from Lithuania, and his mother was born in the USA, her ancestors also came from those places.

Charles Buchinski was born on November 3 and became the eleventh child in a poor mining family of all Buchinsky had 15 children. In his youth, Charlie worked at the mine for 4 years, and in the year he was drafted into the army and fought in bomber aircraft in the Pacific. It was the army that radically changed his life. She helped him break out of his Pennsylvania deafomani and taught him to speak English correctly.

Without this life turn, the world would hardly have learned about the actor of Bronson. In the early years, he starred under his real name, and only at the end of the year actor Charles Bronson was born. For about ten years, the destiny of Charles was episodic and secondary roles in films, most of which sunk into oblivion. Of the more or less known on his account, the comedy “Pat and Mike”, as well as the Apache and Vera Cruise Westerns, where he played Indians.

His roles in these films were not even second -wing, but episodic. After this picture, it might seem that his cinema began to establish: Breeson was given the main roles in Western “Disassembly in the But-Hill” and the military film “When Hell open”, Unfortunately, these paintings were unnoticed and again in the destiny of Bringson became small roles in the cinema and on television.

That year he made a good box office, but by no means became the rental champion with the exception of the USSR, where he got in 2 years, and where he called a real splash. If you read somewhere that after filming in it, “real glory came to Charles” - do not believe. Glory always gets the main characters, and not to those who surround them.
