说到布拉德・皮特,可能会先想到一连串的花边绯闻,而忽略他作为演员的艺术天分。近30年的电影人生,从腼腆的奶油小生,一直演到沉稳的魅力大叔,其中也经历了离婚,酗酒,情绪失控...等浑噩的日子,但现在的他已经能幽默应对过去,变成影迷心中永远的帅大叔。
Before you start
William Bradley Pitt 
Dec 18, 1963
WHO
美国知名好莱坞演员,至今已经演出近80部电影,曾获金球奖、荷兰电影大奖、威尼斯影展、英国电影学院...等众多奖项的肯定,在今年,更以《从前,有个好莱坞》夺下演艺生涯的第一座「奥斯卡最佳男配角奖」。
WHAT
为了追寻电影梦,Brad Pitt 大学尚未毕业就离家出走到洛杉矶找寻机会,甚至当过私人司机赚取生活费。24岁开始拍摄电视剧并磨练演技,直到被知名导演雷利・史考特相中,演出人生第一部电影《末路狂花》中的骗子,深受大众欢迎。32岁以《未来总动员》首获奥斯卡提名,从此奠定在好莱坞的地位。
HIGHLIGHT
Brad Pitt 没有因为自身帅气外型而局限于某类角色,反而大胆挑战多样风格。进而获封两次「全球最性感男人」。今年逐渐从幕前的演员转为幕后制作人,所设立的Plan B Entertainment Inc. 以《神鬼无间》、《自由之心》、《月光下的蓝色男孩》夺下三次奥斯卡最佳影片奖。除了艺术天分外,Brad Pitt 还参加过高尔夫、游泳、网球校队,更有驾驶小型飞机的执照。
92届奥斯卡得奖感言
92nd OSCARS AWARDS
Brad Pitt 以《从前,有个好莱坞》这部电影席卷整个颁奖季,并成功夺下人生首座奥斯卡最佳男配角奖。
Thank you to the Academy for this honor of honors. They told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week. This is really about Quentin Jerome Tarantino. You are original; you are one of a kind. The film industry would be a much drier place without you, and I love the ethos you gave Cliff Booth "look for the best in people expect the worst but look for the best." I also want to say, while we're doing this, I think it's time we give a huge love to our stunt coordinators and our stunt crews. 
感谢学院给我这个至高无上的荣誉。他们告诉我,我只有45秒的致词时间,比参议院给予约翰•博尔顿还多45秒。这个奖项是属于Quentin Tarantino的,您是如此充满独创性第一无二存在的导演,如果没有你,电影圈一定会是更无聊的地方,谢谢您给予Cliff Booth的价值观:「找寻他人最好的一面,尽管你认为对方的为人其实不怎么样」另外,我认为是时候给我们的特技演员、工作团队最大的爱和感谢了。
Listen, I'm a bit gobsmacked. I am not the one to look back, but this has made me do so. And I think of my folks taking me to the drive-in to see Butch and Sundance, and loading up my car and moving out here. Gina and Riley giving me my first shot, to all the wonderful people I've met along the way to stand here now. "Once upon a time in Hollywood" ain't it the truth? This is for my kids who color everything I do. I adore you. Thank you!
我非常的受宠若惊,我不是一个回首往事的人,但这个奖项让我忍不住这么做。我想起我的家人带我去露天电影院看「虎豹小霸王」(Butch Cassidyand the Sundance Kid) ,让我开启这趟旅程。Gina和Riley给了我第一个演出机会,也谢谢一路上我遇到所有很棒的人。我现在能站在这里,就是因为「从前有个好莱坞」,这难道不是事实吗?这个奖项也献给我的孩子,是他们让我的生活多彩多姿,我爱你们。谢谢!
73届英国皇家电影学院获奖感言
73RD BRITHISH ACADEMY FILM AWARDS
Brad Pitt 成功夺下英国皇家电影学院的最佳男配角时,依旧不忘幽默本色,致词大开英国政治及王室玩笑。
Hey Britain, just heard you became single. Welcome to the club and wishing you the best with the divorce settlement. Thank you to the Academy for this extreme honor. I've always been intimidated over here given the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the titans that have come before, so this is especially meaningful. I am going to thank the one and only Quentin Tarantino again. I am gonna name this prize to Harry, because I am really excited about bringing him back to the states with me.
嘿,英国,刚刚听说您恢复单身,欢迎加入单身俱乐部,并祝您的离婚协议顺利。感谢学员给予我这崇高的荣誉。我每次来这都有点紧张,毕竟英国皇家戏剧学院非常有名,而过去得奖者也都是伟大的演员,今天获奖对我来说意义非凡。我要再次感谢第一无二的Quentin Tarantino。我也要把这个奖座命名为Harry,因为我很高兴也很期待能将Harry们带回美国。
* single的梗是关于英国在2020正式脱欧,布拉德借此幽默调侃自己与英国都是单身。

* 英国王子Harry宣布卸下资深皇室成员身份,并随美国太太梅根定居美洲。
访谈节录
Rolling Stone 专访
Brad Pitt 拍过将近80部电影,其中《门阵俱乐部》以及《班杰明的奇幻旅程》代表Brad从冲动的青年,一路来到成熟的大叔,而这两部电影也影响他对于生命的看法。
Q
《班杰明的奇幻旅程》跟《门阵俱乐部》其实有同一个主题:「我们该如何运用人生有限的时间?」,但结论却大不相同。在《门阵俱乐部》中,对有限的生命的回应是虚无而且混乱的,对吗?
That was a '90's conclusion. I actually never thought of what you just said, but it's probably true.
那是九十年代的结论了。我实际上从未想过你刚才说过的话,但我认为这是有可能的。
Q
《班杰明的奇幻旅程》感觉就比较正面,但看完之后还是容易感到无望。
Yeah, I think it's open to...it's your choice. I find "Benjamin" is about those universal things we all share that 95 percent that makes us all the same, wherever we are in the world. Our loves, our hopes, but also the loss that we all walk around with and hide very well, and the ultimate notion that we're all expendable. To me, it's a counter-statement to this divisive period we've been in, where we focused on the two, three, four, five percent of ways in which we' re different.
是的,我认为每个人都有自己的选择。我认为「班杰明」代表着我们一起分享的普通事物,无论我们身在何处,那95%使我们成为一样的人。我们的爱,我们的希望,甚至我们藏起来的失去,最终发现人在世上是如此渺小。「班杰明」的精神跟当今分裂的时代完全相反,现在的人往往只注意我们之间那百分之二、三、四、五的不同。
Q
你当时会担心一些技术上面的问题吗?除了《夜访吸血鬼》外,你应该没有在其他电影中化那么重的妆吧?(这边是指在《班杰明的奇幻旅程》中的老妆打扮)
Man, I swore I would never do prosthetics. I've done some glue-on beards, and they're not fun. Then Fincher came with this one and I said, "I'm in." One of his other great talents is subverting and perverting whatever existing technology there is to his own evil devices, so there was never a question for me about whether it would work. He did something very smart. He said, "We're not going to develop new technology. We' re going to take the technology that's there for gaming and for special effects, blow-up-the-world movies, and use that technology for small details - pupils dilating, aging." And the makeup guys were so good; wearing this stuff all day was surprisingly comfortable. But, no, I won't do it again.
老兄,我之前曾发誓我永远不会带假肢演戏!我粘过假胡须,但一点都不好受,然而当Fincher(班杰明的奇幻旅程导演)来找我商量拍这部片时,我马上就被说服了。他的杰出才能就是彻底颠覆现有的技术,改造成他自己的神奇拍片工具。因此,我完全相信这部电影的化妆会非常成功。他做的事情也非常聪明,他对我说:「我们不会开创新技巧,而是采用电脑游戏、特效大片的技术,并把这种化妆技术用在小细节,例如:瞳孔放大、衰老过程。」化妆师们也很棒,即使一整天都必须穿戴这些特效妆容,但却惊人的舒服。只是,不,我永远不会再化这么重的妆了!
Q
拍《班杰明的奇幻旅程》会让你想到自己生命有限吗?
Well, yeah. And I'm scared to death of it. But, you know, it made me think of things like... Angie and I do not fight anymore. What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother, is that there's going to come a time when I'm not going to get to be with this person anymore. I'm not going to get to be with my children anymore or friends ; people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.
是的,当然。我怕死了。但是,你知道,这让我想到了...Angie(Brad Pitt前妻)和我不再争吵了。透过这部电影再加上Angie母亲去世,我深刻感受到我有天也会死亡,死亡意味着我不能再跟这个人一起了、不能再跟小孩一起了,或是朋友、其他我所爱及尊重的人等。所以,如果我跟他们有什么不愉快,现在也没有关系了。
Q
如果是两年前的你来拍《班杰明的奇幻旅程》,会有什么不同吗?
Well, I think it must have been heading this way, but something crystallized for me. I don't want to waste time being angry at someone I love. Much more, this thing is fragile, and there's a ticking clock on it. And whether it be death or what, there's just going to come that time so this movie changed that for me.
好吧,我认为还是会朝着这个方向发展。但我也想通了一件事。我不想再浪费时间对我所爱的人生气。人类很脆弱,人生一分一秒都在流逝,不管是死亡或者发生其他事情,我们终究会消逝。这是这部电影为我带来的改变。
Q
你曾经有放弃当演员的念头吗?
I'm sure I did. I got this agent where they agreed to try me out in this thing called a side pocket. That means they're not signing you to anything; they're going to try it out for a month or two and see if it pays off. It was a fairly reputable agency, but they wanted me to do sitcoms. But I kept pushing: "Please send me out on some movies." They sent me out for two ; One was The Accused. Then I called up. The agent wouldn't get on the phone with me, but the assistant did. I said, "How did it go?" She said, "Have you ever thought about acting classes?" It was the best thing I heard though, because it put me in a tailspin for about a half hour. Then it made me more determined to figure out what l had to learn.
当然有。当时我找到经纪人时,他们只同意先试试看,这代表他们并没有打算帮我签署合约之类的。他们要我先试着演戏一两个月,看看我是否能为公司带来利润。这是一个相当光彩亮丽的大机构,但他们要我先试着演出情境喜剧。直到我不断催促他们给我演出电影的机会,我终于获得两次试镜机会,其中一部是《控诉》,我打电话到电影公司询问结果,一开始公司不接我电话,直到他们的助理问我:「你有没有想过去学演戏?」即使挂断电话后,我经历了30分钟的低谷,但从那之后我更下定决心,要找出我必须学习的东西。我想那是我听到最棒的一句话了!
