Child actors who have played at the level of adult professionals
История кинематографа | 13.08.2024There are roles in cinema that are difficult for an adult professional actor. What can we say about children who do not yet have any experience or psychological stability. However, in the history of cinema there are examples of how professionally and responsibly young actors approach their difficult task. Natalie Portman played the role of young Matilda in Luc Besson's action movie very early - at the age of 12. Her parents were against her daughter's participation in the project, but she was able to insist on her own. The role of a little assistant to an assassin was not easy for her. In the frame, the girl had to smoke and put a revolver to her temple. As a result, this film made Natalie Portman a star. Macaulay Culkin. We know him, first of all, from the role of Kevin from the comedy “Home Alone". However, in the actor's filmography there is also a psychological thriller “Good Son”, where a twelve-year-old teenager plays a violent psychopath manipulator.
And here is an example from the Soviet cinema. Alexey Kravchenko began his career with the role of the boy Fleur in the film “Go and See". At that time, Kravchenko was 14 years old. The film tells about the atrocities of the fascists on the Belarusian land, it is replete with cruel and terrible scenes. The young actor took a very responsible approach to his work, but after filming he left the cinema for ten years - the filming process turned out to be so difficult psychologically and physically for him. The Exorcist is considered one of the scariest films in the mystery genre. Linda Blair played the main character, a demon-possessed girl, when she was 13 years old. Her performance was at the highest level. Linda herself admitted that she had mostly positive emotions from the filming process.
