题目内容
8.When asked to list typical English gentlemen,for many,Colin Firth immediately comes to mind.In his recent film,Kingsman:The Secret Service,the 54-year-old actor appears as elegant and violent super spy Harry Hart.One minute he's calm and polite,and then in the next he's skillfully violent and aggressive.For example,in one scene he says,"Manners maketh a man",before severely beating up a group of villains(坏人).Firth brings out the perfect mix of typical British style and humor through this performance.
Firth began appearing on English TV in the early 1990s,but it wasn't until he played Mr Darcy,a charming upper class character from Jane Austen's famous novel"Pride and Prejudice",that Firth's career really took off.His portrayal(形象)of the perfect fictional gentleman conquered millions of hearts,especially females'.
In many fans and critics'eyes,Firth has British good looks,British charm,and a gift for characters with a British sense of being reserved(矜持).Movie reviewer Jason O'Bryan described Firth as"always befitting the calm and stiff-upper-lip British gentlemen character".
However Firth doesn't consider himself the authority on gentlemen."I don't necessarily approach every challenge like a perfect English gentleman spy.There are many aspects in my personality that are not consistent with someone like Harry Hart,"he said to Dialogue,an English-language show on CCTV News.
But let's just take his words as another gentlemanly quality-modesty.After all,who might expect an Oscar-winning actor over 50years old to learn to fight for his first action movie?
To prepare for Kingsman,Firth trained for three hours every day over six months.He broke a tooth and got bruised everywhere,but took the damage as a symbol of his accomplishments.
In Dialogue,Firth said he had many other sides-he's passionate about literature and literary research.However,to many of his movie fans,he is indeed a gentleman and excellent actor above a11else.
