When he died on Halloween (Halloween), Sir turned his curtain call into a lively drama. His only son, Jason Connery, who is also a member of the entertainment industry, subsequently confirmed the news to the BBC. He said that his father was at his home in the Bahamas and "passed away peacefully in his sleep." The news together with the "first 007 actor" The title of "Death" immediately spread throughout the world through social media and traditional media.

"Bond, James Bond"

The BBC report called Sean Connery, "the perfect incarnation of Western agents during the Cold War." The official website of the 007 series of films killed him without any suspense. The obituary is at the top of the page, and the subtitle defines his definition "The iconic actor has passed away". The statement of the current James Bond actor Daniel Craig sounds moving: " I am very sad to hear the death of such a real movie master. Sir Sean Connery will be remembered as the eternal Bond, and more. He defined an era and style. What he showed on the screen Talent and charm can be measured in megawatts. He helped create modern blockbusters. In the next few years, he will continue to influence future generations of actors and filmmakers. At this moment, I miss his family and relatives. No matter he Wherever the soul returns, I hope he can have a golf course."

is currently 007. Daniel Craig

has almost been in the 007 movie selections over the years. Sean played in 1964. "Gold Finger" is the best publicly recommended by global fans. In the film, Bond found his opponent cheating when he played golf with the villain. It does not mean that he deliberately made mistakes. The wit and chicness are impressive-although 007 seems to be a high-end brand and luxurious social occasion by birth Endorsement, after this movie, whether it is coincidence or intention, Bond on the screen has never set foot on the green grass.

Pierce Brosnan was the fifth 007

Pierce Brosnan once recalled that it was when he was 11 years old that he saw "Goldfinger" in London and was deeply impressed by Sean's charm. , Only determined to be an actor.

In my personal interview experience in the past, an interesting story about the life of a famous Chinese translator can also corroborate the influence of the film: in the 1960s, Mr. Yang Xianyi was specially approved to accompany his wife Gladys B .Tayler) returned to the province of England. Due to the exhaustion, Gladys became unwell after arriving, and she entrusted her husband to go out to buy medicine. Who knew Yang Xianyi would go out early and return late. When asked, it turned out that he slipped the number halfway and went to see this history. The most famous Bond movie.

Although the production family of the same series of movies broke up in the 1960s and 1970s, after hearing the news of the death of Sir Alex Ferguson, Michael Weir, the current producer of the 007 movieBrothers and sisters Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli made the following statement: "We are shocked by the news of Sean Connery's passing. He was and will be remembered forever For James Bond in the early Yuan Dynasty, when he said the unforgettable line,'Bond, James Bond', he had entered the forest of shadow history and was indelible. He was outstanding with tenacity and wit Portrayed on the big screen what it means to be sexy and charismatic has completely subverted the world’s imagination of the spy world. There is no doubt that he contributed the most to the success of the series of films, and we will always be grateful to him."

2007, in Edinburgh At the Centennial Exhibition "Ten Decades" of the City Art Centre, a painting from the Edinburgh Academy of Art has attracted the attention of the world. This painting was made by the jazz musician Fairweather in 1952, when he was studying at Edinburgh College of Art. The man on the canvas oil painting was the 22-year-old "beater" mannequin Sean Connery. He was naked in the picture: determined side face, chestnut hair, strong chest muscles, broad shoulders and thick back, thick body hair, good size, Yushu Linfeng, Pingting Ruga... Omitting these rhetoric, a student later recalled, Connery is "beautiful beyond words."

"He moved! Like a cheetah in the jungle"

Connery was born on August 25, 1930 in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, Scotland. His father was a factory worker and his mother was a household cleaner. When he was a child, the whole family was squeezed in the shabby room of the apartment building, "the toilet was shared, and there was no public hot water." After becoming famous, he once recalled his suffering childhood. He dropped out of school at the age of 13, without any academic certificates. Send milk, build brick walls and paint and polish coffin panels. Then he made the wise choice to join the Royal Navy for the first time in his life. Firstly, he can fill his stomach for a long time; secondly, he echoed the famous saying in the British and American world, "Join the navy, travel the world"; Sanlai and Ian Fleming, the author of the 007 novel, have a common military resume, which matches his personality as a lieutenant colonel James Bond.

When he was a teenager, Sean had "Long live Scotland" and "Mom & Dad" tattooed on his body-it should be pointed out that this man who likes to show up in public in a tweed skirt was only received by the Queen in 2000. Canonized as a knight, and refused to make any statement, throughout his life will not change the ambition of seeking independence for Scotland. In the serialization of the original 007 novel, Bond initially liked to wear a cheap bracelet watch. When in distress, he took it off and put it on his hand as a hand hoop for self-defense. Similar to Sean, he used a pair of fists to play a "tough guy" in the slums of Edinburgh. "The reputation, and set a record of defeating six triad horses alone.

Sean Connery in his youth

served as a soldier for three years, Sean returned to his hometown due to gastric ulcer. In order to make a living, he worked as a truck driver, security guard, and a model for the Edinburgh College of Art, practicing fitness and playing football in his spare time. According to a BBC obituary report, "Because of his superb skills, he was once invited to join Manchester United with a weekly salary of 25 pounds. But Connery fell in love with acting while working in a community theater and chose the former between art and the'Red Devils'. He later said proudly that that was one of the wisest life choices he made."

In the 1957 BBC TV series "Blood Money", Connery's performance won praise. Before that, when he participated in the Mr. Universe contest in London in 1953, he heard that the musical "South Pacific" (South Pacific) was recruiting extras, to try his luck, and to choose from the screen. The following year, he began to play Lieutenant Buzz Adams. "Blood Money" originally selected the American actors to play the leading role in London. The director's wife recommended Connery and said, "Girls will like him..."

is the same as the Bond he will play in the future, so there is a womanhood. Self-taught Sean Connery, on the road to fame, still continued the tempering of any British film and television star, starring on the stage in the roles of Ibsen, Shakespeare and Bernard Shaw. In 1958, Connery partnered with Hollywood actress Lana Turner in "Another Time, Another Place" (Another Time, Another Place), and his star fortune rose. Turner once established his reputation as a "femme beauty" in Hollywood black and white films with his performance in "The Postman Always Rings the Bell twice" (1946). It is said that the nearly ten-year-old actress of Sean had more blue eyes on her little-known younger brother at the time, and encouraged him to act in a rivalry with her.

Although before taking over 007, Sean's role is mostly out of the ordinary. But I still got the opportunity to participate in blockbusters such as "Ice Sea Sunken Ship" and "The Longest Day", in the reappearance of "D day" Normandy landing in the brilliant "The Longest Day" set, played by Hollywood star Robert Mitchum With his pipe in his mouth, the general almost kicked the ass and kick of a confused soldier on the beach-at that time, Sean did not hide his youthfulness and tenderness. However, talented people come out from generation to generation, and new generations replace old ones. In the summer of 1961, Connery stepped into Mayfair's office. His strong hips made the producer partner Harry Salzman and the executive officer of the "United Artists Guild" Bud Ornstein want to whistle and watch him stride through the street. The two coincidentally. Said: "He moved! Like a cheetah in the jungle."

In 1961, producer Albert Blockley (the father of the current 007 producer brother and sister) and Harry Salzman joined forces from Iraq. En Fleming bought the film adaptation rights of the novel and founded Eon Production Company specifically for this. Who will play this personable and determined agent? There is no shortage of big names like Gary Grant on the shortlist. At the critical moment when casting a role, the big names all looked down on the role, and also thanks to another producer’s wife who recommended it to her husband. Sean Connery took over the film license". The original author, Fleming, came out of upper class society, and of course he was not optimistic about this "stunt stand-in man" born in an Edinburgh worker family. He immediately changed his opinion after watching the sample, and even set up a "half-Scottish origin" for 007 in subsequent novels.

Sean Connery was the first actor to play James Bond in "Dr. No" in 1962, followed by "Love from Russia", "Gold Finger" and "Ray In Action Ball, "You Only Live Twice" and "Diamond Forever", he played the legendary agent 007 one after another.

"Dr. No" was an instant success, and the director of the film, Terrence Young, also contributed. The director, born in Shanghai in 1915, was very familiar with the oriental elements in the film. In fact, he created the same Like James Bond, Yang also has an undergraduate degree in Eastern History from St. Catherine’s College, Cambridge University, and as a tank commander during World War II, he participated in the "Market Garden" military operation in Arnhem, the Netherlands— -In the late 1970s, the British film "A Bridge Too Far" (A Bridge Too Far) was adapted and shot against the background of this campaign. In the film, Sean also played a Scottish regiment officer.

The world is always wondering, how can Connery, who has been a truck driver, a mason, and a bodybuilder, play the role of a top agent who graduated from Eton College and is proficient in Japanese and German? The gestures, accents, expressions of the eyes and body language all reveal the extravagance of a "gentleman", and how to have the natural history that can be talked about from the category of butterfly pterans to the secrets of international relations? The answer is still hisThe director's friend, Terence Young, specially took him in and out of various high-end venues, and pointed him to his gestures and temperament. A small example can show the thousands of favors Sean got on the set-according to the plot setting of the novel and the personal preferences of the original author, 007 needs to wear a Rolex watch, and the producer Albert Brockley says nothing. , Took off his "Submariner" 6538 and gave it to Sean to wear it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends, a handful of enemies"

"Dr. No" has a global box office of $59.5 million with a budget of approximately $1 million. The considerable box office revenue made United Artists Cinema decide to immediately Set about shooting a sequel. The second Bond film "Love from Russia" was released in the United Kingdom on October 11, 1963. After the end subtitle "THE END" appeared, it may be the first time in film history to play domineeringly: "NOT QUITE THE END— —JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN THE NEXT IAN FLEMING THRILLER GOLDFINGER" (End, but not the end. James Bond will return in the next film "Gold Finger" based on Ian Fleming’s thriller novel). This episode hasn't been released yet, so I clearly declared goodbye to the next episode. I even said clearly what was being filmed. The subtitled eggs were written so aggressively, and it became a major tradition established after the series. Some are expensive for people, and some are popular for people. Between Sean Connery and the 007 series of films, they are rare stories of mutual achievement in film history.

"Carefully consider your wonderful words, because that may be your last word." "Do you want me to explain something?" "No, Mr. Bond, I I miss you to die!" The lines between Bond and the villain in "Goldfinger" are too vivid. In reality, since Xiao En, every 007 actor has played the role later, expressing his desire to cut or even break with the role. Shaun was the most amazing. Apart from saying "I really want to strangle him", he even went against the producer's family and set off against each other in the early 1980s. He played "Operation Thunderball" again to show "Never Say Never Again". "(Never say no).

seems to be the fate of the solid screen image of Sean's previous Bond actors, so that there are few masterpieces. Among the six Bond actors who broke this fateful circle, at present, only Sean himself is the only one. The fair argument is that perhaps it is the cold background that keeps him conscious at all times, and the ambition of seeking national independence allows him to maintain self-sustainment in the chaotic flowers. In fact, even in the gap between playing Bond, Sean once starred in an anti-war movie "The Hill". The director of that film was Sidney Lumet, and one of them was able to shoot. He is the character of "Twelve Angry Men".

"The Name of the Rose" stills

After surrendering his "license to kill", Sean still appeared in a number of screen masterpieces in the 70s and 80s. In "The Name of the Rose" directed by Jean-Jacques Arnault in 1986, Sean played the role of Brother William, who wrote the golden lines of the original author, Eco, such as "The only truth is to learn to get rid of the irrational enthusiasm for truth." "God knows everything, and we can only worship his knowledge" and so on. It is worth mentioning that although the 007 on the screen is a product of the Cold War, in order to spread and penetrate on a larger scale, it rarely regards the Soviet Warsaw Pact camp as a direct opposite. Of course, ridicule is always everywhere. In 1990's "Russian Building", he played the role of a British publisher who fell in love with a Moscow female worker; in the same year's "Hunting Red October", he played the role of the Soviet captain and drove the nuclear submarine into the United States. Mississippi River...… In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed.

After the end of the "Cold War", Sean in his early years has ushered in the second spring of his career. He cannot forget that he said to Nicholas Cage in "Break into the Dead Island", "The losers always say that they have done their best. Only the winner can make affection with the Queen of Spades." And in "Stealing the Sky", he played the opposite role with Zeta Jones, who was in full bloom at that time. He looked at her naked beautiful back, his arms raised and lowered...no Through these two movies, the young people got to know a handsome and charming old Sean, and followed the vague impression of watching 007 video tapes at a young age. They found his works and became a fan. Sean’s screen legend even continued into the "Gentlemen's League" at the beginning of this century-although he established the everlasting undead legend James Bond, Sean Connery never feared ending his character’s life on the screen. Interpret the death that is gorgeous and withered like cherry blossoms.

Stills of "Iron Selflessness"

In 1987, the old patrolman Ma Long, who he played in "Ironlessness", was jealous, but he was beaten into dice by the villain's "Chicago Typewriter". That should be the first time he performed death on the screen. But the death was tragic enough, heartily and heartily... With this wonderful performance, Sean Connery was nominated for the 60th Oscar Award for Best Supporting Actor and finally defeated the same nominee Morgan Freedom Man and others won. In his speech, he humorously started with "Ladies and gentlemen, friends, a handful of enemies, good evening!" as the opening remarks, which drew laughter from the audience.

In 2006, the American Motion Picture Association awarded Connery the Lifetime Achievement Award. He is recognized as one of the most influential and successful actors in the past half century. The award for him was Harrison Ford, who played his son in "Indiana Jones 3" in 1989. Amidst the cheers of the audience, Sean danced improvisationally with the performance of the Scottish bagpipes. He may have foreseen that he would be leaving the screen (officially retiring in 2008). In a few minutes of his testimony, he took the trouble to look back on his life and revealed his true feelings. Thank you family. "It's a long journey from the fountain bridge to the stage tonight. My feet are tired and my heart is surging!"
