普卢默于1929年12月13日出生在多伦多,他的曾外公是加拿大总理约翰·艾伯特爵士。不久后父母离婚,他被母亲带到蒙特利尔生活。

 
在蒙特利尔,普卢默发现了自己对表演的热爱。17岁时他在蒙特利尔高中制作《傲慢与偏见》中饰演达西先生,之后在剧团中学习演技,并在24岁第一次登上百老汇的舞台。上世纪五十年代,他去美国巡演,开始踏足美国电影界。
 
 
1965年,普卢默在由罗伯特·怀斯执导的剧情片《音乐之声》中,饰演海军上校冯·特拉普一角,从此闻名全球。
 
  • The Sound of Music, released to huge success in 1965, proved Plummer’s breakthrough to stardom. 

    1965年发行的《音乐之声》获得巨大成功,普卢默的演艺事业也取得突破。

 

普卢默扮演的男主角特拉普上校,与朱莉·安德鲁斯(Julie Andrews)饰演的家庭教师,在朝夕相处下发生爱情,迷倒无数观众。

 

  • His Captain von Trapp begins as an authoritarian father who treats his children like a military unit but soon makes a key turn to reveal himself as a loving father. 

    他饰演的海军上校冯·特拉普一开始是一个独裁的父亲,他把他的孩子当成一个军队来训练,但很快发生了转变,他表现出一位父亲的慈爱。

     

  • Plummer sows enough seeds early in the film that he is not the bully he appears to be so that when he makes the turn, it’s entirely believable.

    普卢默在电影的开始就奠定了基调,所以他不是看上去那样独裁,当他发生转变时,是完全不突兀的。

 

多少90后嗑过这对古早CP,英大先举手。

 

《音乐之声》50年纪念时,“玛利亚”与“上校”再聚首,满满的回忆杀!

片中由“上校”演唱的插曲“Edelweiss”(雪绒花)流传至今。

 
 
毋庸置疑,拿下第38届奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片、最佳导演等五个奖项的《音乐之声》是当之无愧的好电影,但普卢默并不这么认为。
 
事实上,正片中的歌并不是普卢默唱的,绝大部分是用导演罗伯特·怀斯最后请来的Bill Lee的声音替换,对此,普卢默颇为不满。

 

  • Plummer was originally reluctant to take on the role, and in 2018 told the Guardian he was “furious” when he found out his singing voice was going to be dubbed. 

    普卢默最初不愿意扮演这个角色,2018年,他告诉《卫报》,当他发现自己的歌声将被配音时,他“非常愤怒”。

 

  • “I’d worked on my singing for so long, but in those days, they’d have someone trained who would sing through dubbing. I said: ‘The only reason I did this bloody thing was so I could do a musical on stage on film!’”

     “我练了很长时间声乐,但在那些日子里,他们已经决定了让专业的人来配音。我说:“我做这件该死的事情的唯一原因是为了能在舞台上拍一部音乐剧!”

 

此后,《音乐之声》剧组在奥普拉脱口秀重聚,普卢默又对电影进行了一波“吐槽”,还把它称为“鼻涕之声”。

 

  • "The part was not exactly Hamlet," Plummer explained to Winfrey. "There wasn't enough humour in it."

     “这个角色不完全是哈姆雷特,”普卢默向温弗瑞解释道。"没有足够的幽默。”

 

  • He was very sensitive to the danger that unless they were careful the film could become very mawkish and sentimental, "and there were a lot of nuns present all the time, which always makes you feel a little bit irreverent. It does me." Plummer even came up with his own nickname for the musical: "The Sound of Mucus."

    他对这种危险非常敏感,除非他们小心谨慎,否则这部电影可能会变得非常伤感,“而且总是有很多修女在场,让你感到格格不入。我就是这样。”普卢默甚至为这部音乐剧想了个别名:“鼻涕之声”。

 

尽管普卢默几十年来一直试图与这部轰动一时的音乐剧划清界限,但他在这部电影中实际上相当出色。
 
进入1970、80年代,普卢默随著年岁渐长开始转型为中年配角,甚至常演反派,这个时期的名作当属《时光倒流七十年》,他扮演女主角的经纪人。
 

 

此后的普卢默戏约不断,即便是配角,但普卢默从未放弃每一次磨砺演技的机会,直到2010年,耄耋之年的他,终于迎来了事业上的大爆发。
 
 

2010年,一部《最后一站》(The Last Station),让80岁的普卢默被提名第82届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男配角和第67届金球奖最佳男配角奖。

 

  • At age 80, Plummer received his very first Oscar nomination for his supporting work as writer Leo Tolstoy in Michael Hoffman’s “The Last Station.”  
    80岁时,普卢默因在迈克尔·霍夫曼的《最后一站》中扮演作家列夫·托尔斯泰而首次获得奥斯卡提名最佳男配角。
     
  •  In addition to his Oscar nod, Plummer also received a Screen Actors Guild nomination for his performance.
    除了获得奥斯卡提名,普卢默还因其表演获得了美国演员工会的提名。

 

2012年,普卢默又凭借《初学者》(Beginners)获得第84届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男配角奖、第69届金球奖最佳男配角奖和第65届英国电影学院奖最佳男配角奖。

 

  • For his performance in “Beginners” as Hal, a 75 year-old who comes out as gay after the death of his wife, Plummer won his first Academy Award, Golden Globe and SAG Award as the year’s best supporting actor. 

    由于在《初学者》中饰演哈尔,一个在妻子死后以同性恋身份生活的75岁老人,普卢默获得了他的第一个奥斯卡奖、金球奖奖和演员工会奖的年度最佳男配角。

     

  • Hal is loosely based on the real-life experience of writer/director Mike Mills’ own father, Paul, but Plummer adds some flourishes of his own, with a relaxed physical gait that suggests an unburdening from the tension of living in the closet for so long.  A wonderfully subtle piece of work.

    哈尔大致是根据作家兼导演迈克·米尔斯的父亲保罗的真实生活经历改编,但普卢默加入了一些他自己的理解,以一种放松的姿态暗示着从长期隐瞒自己同性恋的紧张中解脱出来的放松。是一件非常微妙的作品。

 

领奖时,他激动地表示:“能给一个80多岁的老男孩这个提名,真的是让我觉得太振奋了。”

 

2017年,凯文·史派西因丑闻退出由雷德利·斯科特执导的电影《金钱世界》(All the Money in the World)之后,普卢默接替他出演,并重拍了所有戏份。

 

而普卢默在本片中饰演的极为吝啬的前世界首富保罗·盖蒂,为已近88岁高龄的他再度获得了一次奥斯卡最佳男配角提名。

 

  • The story behind Plummer’s casting in Ridley Scott’s “All the Money in the World” is as famous as the film itself. 

    普卢默在雷德利·斯科特的《金钱世界》中的角色背后的故事和电影本身一样出名。

 

  • With Scott’s film completely shot and awaiting release, co-star Kevin Spacey became involved in a sexual abuse scandal, and Scott made the decision to recast Plummer in the Spacey role as J.P. Getty, filming furiously for six weeks in order to make the film’s Christmas Day release date. 

    斯科特的电影拍摄完成并准备上映,主演凯文·史派西卷入了一场性虐待丑闻,斯科特决定让普卢默饰演史派的角色盖蒂,为了在圣诞节上映,他疯狂地拍摄了六周。

 

 

  • And it turns out that Plummer’s steely performance as the multi-billionaire is one of his best ever. 

    事实证明,普卢默饰演的亿万富翁,表现强硬冷酷,是他有史以来最好的表演之一。

 

  • For his performance as Getty, Plummer received his third Oscar nomination and his third Golden Globe nomination in the film category.

    由于饰演盖蒂,普卢默获得了他的第三次奥斯卡提名和第三次金球奖提名。

 

至今,普卢默仍是奥斯卡史上入围、得奖最高龄的演员纪录保持人。

 

而这些还都只是普卢默在电影上的成就,他在舞台剧和电视剧方面获得的荣誉同样令人惊叹!

 

  • He has won two Tony awards (out of seven nominations) for his stage work — the musical “Cyrano” (1974) and the one-man show “Barrymore” (1997), which was later turned into a film.

    他因舞台剧获得了两项托尼奖(七项提名中的两项)——音乐剧《西拉诺》(1974年)和独角戏《巴里摩尔》(1997年),后者后来被改编成电影。

     

  • For his television work, he has also won two Emmy Awards (out of six nominations)  for the TV movie “Arthur Hailey’s The Moneychangers” (1977) and for his voice-over performance in the animated “Madeline” (1994).

    他的电视作品还获得了两项艾美奖(六项提名),一项是电视《钱商》(1977年),另一项是他在动画片《麦德兰》(1994年)中的配音表演。

 

 

即便已经荣誉等身,又是如此高龄,普卢默依然战斗在电影一线,2019年,还带来了口碑佳片《利刃出鞘》(Knives Out)。
 
如果不是因为这次意外,“老男孩”普卢默可能还会带给我们更多的好电影。
 

 
在克里斯托弗·普卢默去世后,他的长期经纪人与挚友 Lou Pitt 表示:
 
  • Chris was an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession with great old fashion manners, self deprecating humor and the music of words. He was a National Treasure who deeply relished his Canadian roots. Through his art and humanity, he touched all of our hearts and his legendary life will endure for all generations to come. He will forever be with us. 

    克里斯是一位非凡的人,他以杰出的老派礼仪、幽默的自嘲和优美的语言,深深地爱着并尊重着自己的职业。他是加拿大的国家宝藏,并以家乡为傲。他于艺术上的造诣与人性上的光辉,深深地触动了每个人的心灵,并将继续影响后世的人们。他将永远与我们同在。

 

愿克里斯托弗·普卢默安息

R.I.P Christopher Plummer
