Christopher Plummer, the prolific and versatile Canadian-born actor who rose to celebrity as the romantic lead in perhaps the most popular movie musical of all time, was critically lionized as among the pre-eminent Shakespeareans of the past century and won an Oscar, two Tonys and two Emmys, died on Friday at his home in Weston, Conn. He was 91.

His wife, Elaine Taylor, said the cause was a blow to the head as a result of a fall.

他饰演的海军上校冯·特拉普一开始是一个独裁的父亲,他把他的孩子当成一个军队来训练,但很快发生了转变,他表现出一位父亲的慈爱。
Plummer sows enough seeds early in the film that he is not the bully he appears to be so that when he makes the turn, it's entirely believable.
普卢默在电影的开始就奠定了基调,所以他不是看上去那样独裁,当他发生转变时,是完全不突兀的。
Plummer was originally reluctant to take on the role, and in 2018 told the Guardian he was "furious" when he found out his singing voice was going to be dubbed.
普卢默最初不愿意扮演这个角色,2018年,他告诉《卫报》,当他发现自己的歌声将被配音时,他“非常愤怒”。

“我练了很长时间声乐,但在那些日子里,他们已经决定了让专业的人来配音。我说:“我做这件该死的事情的唯一原因是为了能在舞台上拍一部音乐剧!”
"The part was not exactly Hamlet," Plummer explained to Winfrey. "There wasn't enough humour in it."
“这个角色不完全是哈姆雷特,”普卢默向温弗瑞解释道。“没有足够的幽默。”
He was very sensitive to the danger that unless they were careful the film could become very mawkish and sentimental, "and there were a lot of nuns present all the time, which always makes you feel a little bit irreverent. It does me." Plummer even came up with his own nickname for the musical: "The Sound of Mucus."
他对这种危险非常敏感,除非他们小心谨慎,否则这部电影可能会变得非常伤感,“而且总是有很多修女在场,让你感到格格不入。我就是这样。”普卢默甚至为这部音乐剧想了个别名:“鼻涕之声”。

由于在《初学者》中饰演哈尔,一个在妻子死后以同性恋身份生活的75岁老人,普卢默获得了他的第一个奥斯卡奖、金球奖奖和演员工会奖的年度最佳男配角。
Hal is loosely based on the real-life experience of writer/director Mike Mills' own father, Paul, but Plummer adds some flourishes of his own, with a relaxed physical gait that suggests an unburdening from the tension of living in the closet for so long. A wonderfully subtle piece of work.
哈尔大致是根据作家兼导演迈克·米尔斯的父亲保罗的真实生活经历改编,但普卢默加入了一些他自己的理解,以一种放松的姿态暗示着从长期隐瞒自己同性恋的紧张中解脱出来的放松。是一件非常微妙的作品。

斯科特的电影拍摄完成并准备上映,主演凯文·史派西卷入了一场性虐待丑闻,斯科特决定让普卢默饰演史派的角色盖蒂,为了在圣诞节上映,他疯狂地拍摄了六周。
