In memory of Alan Rickman: why her voice and charisma are longed (videos) – The Review

The death of the British actor, star of ‘Die Hard’ and ‘Harry Potter’ series, leaving the orphan film one of the most charismatic screen presence

is always defined Alan Rickman as the villain par excellence of contemporary cinema.

‘Die Hard’ was the film that was announced as ‘villain’ of contemporary cinema

No doubt that their performances of “Die Hard” very undervalued “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” and “Quigley Down Under” and, somehow, in the eight films in the Harry Potter saga, which gave life to the very ambiguous (in their intentions) Professor Severus Snape, made it clear that we were one of the most enigmatic, sophisticated and menacing presence of the big screen.

But to limit the influence of this actor sensational, born in London in 1947 (the same city that gave birth to the also recently deceased David Bowie), in its role of evil, would be unfair.

Because, after all, Rickman was a romantic interpreter : his performances in “Truly Madly Deeply”, “Sense and Sensibility” (with Kate Winslet), “Snow Cake” (opposite Sigourney Weaver) and, without a doubt, “Love Actually,” in which he portrayed the adulterer husband Emma Thompson, drew a complex emotional man whose voice inflections were able to make us feel the vicissitudes (romances and bitterness) of characters who always made accessible

Not only that. directed “The Winter Guest “first in theater and then film it with Emma Thompson (who co-starred on several occasions), an endearing story of love between mother and daughter (papers that faced the mother and daughter in real life, and it Phyllida Law ).

Of course, Alan Rickman is recognized by a large majority of the public for their participation in the franchise wizard created by JK Rowling (and for his undeniable talent comedy “Galaxy Quest” and “Alice in Wonderland” and its sequel upcoming “Alice Through the Looking Glass”, where she lent her voice to the Blue Caterpillar).

But the winner of the Golden Globe, SAG and Emmy (for his role in “Rasputin”), recognized star of British theater (in such plays as “The Seagull” by Chekhov, “Romeo & amp; Juliet” and ” As You Like It “by Shakespeare,” Private Lives, “Coward, or” Les Liaisons Dangereuses “by Christopher Hampton, for which she was nominated for a Tony), will always be remembered for his magnetic presence, impeccable pronunciation and nostalgic look .

The film, television and theater have lost a simply mesmerizing performer.
