谁曾在《指环王》电影中扮演梅里·布兰迪巴克?

福尔曼在布拉格附近的一个小镇长大。他的父母,活动家老师鲁道夫·福尔曼(Rudolf Forman)和一名新教家庭主妇在纳粹集中营去世后,由两个叔叔和家人朋友抚养。在1960年代,他了解到他的亲生父亲不是Rudolf Forman,而是犹太建筑师。在1950年代中期,福尔曼就读于布拉格艺术学院电影学院。毕业后,他写了两部剧本,第一部是内切特(Nechte)到namně(1955年;《把它交给我》),是由捷克著名导演马丁·弗里奇(MartinFrič)摄制的。福尔曼是第二部电影剧本的助理导演,这部爱情小说名为《Štěňata》(1958年,小熊)。

在整个1950年代末和60年代初,福尔曼都曾担任其他电影的编剧或助理导演。他执导的第一部主要作品是ČernýPetr(1964; Black Peter)和Láskyjednéplavovlásky(1965; Loves of a Blonde),在国内和国际上均取得了巨大成功-后者获得了奥斯卡最佳外语电影提名-福曼被誉为捷克新浪潮的主要才能。他的早期电影以对工人阶级生活的考察和对社会主义生活方式的热情为特征。这些元素在《霍尼·玛·帕年科》(1967;《消防员的舞会》)中也很明显,该小说以讽刺性的方式探讨了社会和道德问题。 1968年苏联入侵后,捷克斯洛伐克禁止消防员舞会时,福尔曼移民到了美国。他成为美国1975年获得公民身份。

Forman’s first American film was Taking Off (1971), a story about runaway teenagers and their parents. Although not a box-office success, it won the jury grand prize at the Cannes film festival. The movie was also notable for being the last of Forman’s works to incorporate his early themes. Most of his American films are also bereft of the earlier social concerns that defined his Czech films, although he clearly demonstrated his mastery of the craft of direction and showed a remarkable ability to work with actors.

One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) was an independent production that had been turned down by every major studio, but it catapulted Forman to the forefront of Hollywood directors. A potent adaptation of Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel, it starred Jack Nicholson as Randle P. McMurphy, an irrepressible free spirit who cons his way from a prison work farm into a mental hospital. Against his better judgment, he enters into a war of wills with the sadistic head nurse (played by Louise Fletcher). The film became the first since It Happened One Night (1934) to win all five major Academy Awards: best picture, actor (Nicholson), actress (Fletcher), director, and screenplay (Bo Goldman and Lawrence Hauben).

Hair (1979) was Forman’s much-anticipated version of the Broadway musical, but it was a disappointment at the box office, despite receiving generally positive reviews. The director then made Ragtime (1981), a handsomely mounted, expensive adaptation of E.L. Doctorow’s best-selling novel about early 20th-century America. The historical drama starred James Cagney in his first credited big-screen appearance in some 20 years; it was the actor’s last feature film. Ragtime, however, also failed to find an audience, although it received eight Oscar nominations.

Forman rebounded from those mild disappointments with the acclaimed Amadeus (1984), Peter Shaffer’s reworking of his stage success. F. Murray Abraham gave an Oscar-winning performance as the jealous Antonio Salieri, and Tom Hulce earned praise as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The lavish production won eight Oscars, including for best picture and Forman’s second for best director. After that triumph he took a five-year break from directing, reappearing with Valmont (1989), an adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s classic novel Dangerous Liaisons. However, Forman’s version—which starred Colin Firth, Annette Bening, and Meg Tilly—was generally compared unfavourably to Stephen Frears’s adaptation, which had been released the previous year.

In 1996 Forman returned to form with The People vs. Larry Flynt, a biopic of the pornographic magazine publisher whose legal battles provoked debates about freedom of speech. The dramedy featured strong performances, notably by Woody Harrelson in an Oscar-nominated turn as the controversial Flynt, Courtney Love as Flynt’s wife, and Edward Norton as his frustrated attorney. Forman earned an Academy Award nomination for his directing. He also garnered praise for Man on the Moon (1999), in which Jim Carrey channeled the genius of the late comic Andy Kaufman. The fine supporting cast included Danny DeVito, Love, and Paul Giamatti. Less successful was Goya’s Ghosts (2006), a costume drama starring Natalie Portman as a model for the artist Francisco de Goya (Stellan Skarsgård) and Javier Bardem as a church official who rapes her after she is unjustly imprisoned during the Spanish Inquisition. In 2009 Forman codirected the musical Dobre placená procházka (A Walk Worthwhile).

In addition to his directorial efforts, Forman occasionally acted in films, including Heartburn (1986), Keeping the Faith (2000), and Les Bien-Aimés (2011; Beloved). He also cowrote (with Jan Novák) the memoir Turnaround (1994).
