Bradley Cooper: The Method Man
布萊德利．庫柏的幸福劇本
—Jeff Curran
6/3
One of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood today is Bradley Cooper, who starred in the critically-acclaimed Silver Linings Playbook. The film tells the story of a bipolar man who tries to win his wife back after he was sent to a mental hospital for badly beating up her lover.
To prepare for the role, Cooper studied up on the manic depression his character, Pat Solitano, suffers from. Cooper employed a tactic known as “method acting,” which involves completely immersing oneself in the role. He says that he had to “become” Pat, and to do that, he couldn’t bring any part of his own life with him to the studio. Cooper also states that he hopes the film will change people’s perceptions of mental disorders, which are often stigmatized in America.
This seriousness and dedication to moviemaking is what sets Bradley Cooper apart from other actors, and it’s beginning to earn him respect and adulation from both his peers and his fans. Cooper has mostly been known for his supporting roles in comedies or as romantic love interests in movies with little depth. With Silver Linings Playbook and the upcoming period drama Serena, Bradley Cooper is showing audiences that he is capable of great acting.
布萊德利．庫柏是當今好萊塢最有名的男演員之一，他在大受好評的《派特的幸福劇本》中擔綱演出。這部電影描述一名患有躁鬱症的男子在痛毆妻子的情人而被送進精神病院後，試圖要挽回妻子的故事。
為了演好這個角色，庫柏鑽研劇中人物派特．索利塔諾罹患的躁鬱症。庫柏採用一種稱為「方法演技」的表演法，這種方法是要完全融入角色當中。他說他必須「變成」派特，而且要達到那種境界，他不能將自己生活的一絲一毫帶進拍攝現場。庫柏也表示，他希望這部片能改變人們對精神疾病的觀感，因為精神疾病在美國常被污名化。
對於拍片的認真與投入正是布萊德利．庫柏與其他演員的不同之處，而這也讓他開始贏得同業與影迷的尊敬和讚揚。庫柏一直以來主要是以喜劇中的配角或在沒什麼深度的電影中飾演主角的戀愛對象為人所知。藉著《派特的幸福劇本》和即將上映的時代劇《賽麗娜》，布萊德利．庫柏要向觀眾證明他的表演實力。
