Subject: seventh American art Paul Newman, who died on Friday, aged 83, as a result of lung cancer at his ranch in Connecticut, remains one of the last icons of American cinema from the years of splendour.Less monumental than Brando, who he resembled and was a long time sort of rival on the screen, more cautious in his game, certainly more fragile, but also an apostle of freedom and the breaking of dramatic conventions. Mixed blood children are often magnificent. He was born in Ohio in 1925, from a Jewish German father and a mother of Hungarian origin. From these European roots were born the glorious faces of the American dream. Without an excessive ego, the ultimate mark of quality. Because in him is portrayed a country-loving self made man, a combatant in the Pacific War, wounded in combat, who in the early 50's studied drama at Yale and attended the Actor's Studio in New York, before triumphing at the theatre, on television, soon after at the cinema. The same man who fought for civil rights was also the driver who ranked second in the 24 Hours Le Mans in 1979, doubled as a sex symbol, albeit a member of a model couple formed since 1958 with the actress Joanne Woodward. Also disappearing with him are the shadowy areas of this secret star, discreet, committed, allergic to the scandals of show business, which have definitely not penetrated the enigma. An honest man in the noblest sense of the word. The disappearance of Paul Newman brought vertigo to moviegoers this weekend, while his major roles collide on the black screen of memories. More than half a century of a *seventh American art* which is constantly changing scrolls through him. Не могу понять, к чему относится "seventh" Спасибо! |
