Unit 6 Movies

Stunts in Movies

On the screen, the US actor Tom Cruise is throwing

himself through a glass window as a large car explodes b

ehind him; the actress Helen Hunt is running from hurrica

nes as homes and cows are swept up.

And, of course, there is Stallone doing ... everything.



Unit 6 Movies

It seems to be popular these days for actors and

actresses to do their own stunts in action movies, and the

fact is that the big names are indeed doing more stunts.

According to a director, some actors do as much as

ninety per cent of their own stunts, while the last ten per

cent are generally left to stunt professionals. These are

the men and women who make a living risking their lives

on behalf of the big names in action movies.

Text 2



Unit 6 Movies

However, there is an exception. The only actor who

does not allow anyone else to do his stunts is Jackie C

han, the Hong Kong phenomenon. He takes pride in doi

ng all the stunts in his action movies. Jackie Chan has

been doing his individual brand of dramatic martial arts

for fifteen years. He is no doubt a walking miracle of ph

ysical endurance. Of course, along with that heroism ar

e numerous broken bones and a hole the size of a coin

in his head.

Unit 6 Movies

US action filmmakers do not want their movie stars

to be injured, so stunt experts are always called in to do

dangerous parts that require talent. At the same time,

they also try hard to make the audience believe that the

famous faces are performing every stunt.



Unit 6 Movies

Actors and actresses would also like the fans to bel

ieve that there are no professionals doing the stunts for

them. Many of them insist on doing their own stunts in

the movies. Then accidents are inevitable. For instance,

Helen Hunt was knocked unconscious when filming on

e scene — she opened the door of a vehicle and jumpe

d off while it was speeding through a cornfield. Helen la

ter admitted, “I have all the courage of a stunt person, b

ut I don’t have all the talent.”



Unit 6 Movies

As for the audience, there is absolutely no need for

you to worry about your favourite stars, who are braggi

ng about performing the stunts on TV talk shows. It’s en

tirely possible that someone else took the fall. As Helen

said, there is still a lot of work out there for stunt profes

sionals.

HollywoodFinal Fantasy The Lord of the Rings Gollum The Matrix: Reloaded Nicole Kidman

好莱坞《最终幻想》《指环王》古鲁姆《黑客帝国 II 》妮可·基德曼



Unit 6 Movies

Now moviemakers are developing the final computer creation — digital humans. Developing computer images that look and act just like real humans has long been the dream of many moviemakers. Pixel by pixel that dream is gradually becoming a reality.

Digital Actors Is it real, or is it digital? In many Hollywood movies these days it’s sometimes impossible to tell what’s real and what’s not. Moviemakers create landscapes, cities and even creatures from nothing but pixels ( 像素 ). These computer images look just as real as the world we live in.



Unit 6 Movies

The first attempts to create perfect digital humans began several years ago. Final Fantasy, released in 2004, showed the potential and limitations of digital actors. The movie’s digital characters looked and acted surprisingly lifelike. But somehow they still reminded audiences of cartoons, and their “acting” was less than inspiring.

Final Fantasy’s digital magic also cost moviemakers a fortune. Just creating human-looking hair cost about $20 million. And despite people’s initial excited reaction, it performed poorly at the box office. The film, which cost $137 million to make, lost about $80 million.



Unit 6 Movies

Moviemakers have been much more successful at

creating non-human characters. The Lord of the Rings

trilogy features a digital creature named Gollum. Though

not human, Gollum gives a very moving performance.

Surprisingly, this collection of pixels manages to

effectively show a wide range of human emotions. The

Matrix: Reloaded features the most perfect digital humans

so far. These lifelike digital creations appear widely

throughout the movie. In fact, audiences can never be

sure which actors are real and which are digital.

Additional Reading 3



Unit 6 Movies

So should Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and all their

Hollywood friends start looking for another line of work?

Not necessarily. Many popular movie directors say digit

al actors will never “act” as well as humans. Digital acto

rs must also rely on gifted human actors for their voices.
