Films in which actors have become a copy of their prototypes

If the photos were of approximately the same quality, it would be difficult to say which of these people is an actor and who is a historical person. That's what it means to fully enter into the image!

"Survivor"

Michael Panke's novel of the same name was partly based on the life of Hugh Glass, whose role was played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Hugh Glass was an American hunter and mountain guide, and became famous in 1823 after a fight with a grizzly bear. He was seriously injured, including a broken leg, but was able to travel more than 300 km without food and equipment to survive. He crawled most of the way.

A familiar plot? Yes, this is the same" Survivor " for which Leo received his long-awaited Oscar statuette. But not all critics agree that this is his best role (and when do all critics agree?). During the premiere screening in the thousand-seat hall of the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, groans and dissatisfied exclamations were constantly heard due to excessively violent scenes. And some critics even defiantly left the cinema.

"The Universe of Stephen Hawking"

The film is based on Jane Hawking's memoir about her relationship with her ex-husband. They met as students at Cambridge, fell in love, but soon Hawking learned that he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which eventually led to paralysis. At that time, Hawking was only 21 years old and doctors said that he would live for another two years. But we all know perfectly well how it ended.

Hawking lived a long life, built a career and created a family.

But back to the comparison. Just look, Eddie Redmayne really looks like a young Hawking!

"Midnight in Paris"

Woody Allen's film is a real science fiction, literally and figuratively. Let's talk about the plot? 

In the center of the events is a young man who came with his fiancee to Paris to visit her parents. Towards nightfall, he wandered into an unfamiliar alley and got into an old car that took him to the 1920s, where he met his idols — Fitzgerald, Stein, Dali…

And here is Salvador Dali, whose role was perfectly played by Adrian Brody. Um ... is Salvador on the left or on the right?

"The Monster"

The plot is based on the true story of a serial killer from Florida, Eileen Wuornos. Eileen is a very controversial character, she was pushed to murder by difficult life circumstances, but it is pointless to justify her. This is the second female maniac in the history of the United States.

Her role was played by Charlize Theron, a Hollywood beauty who easily turned into a lost street prostitute with sadistic tendencies.

"The Iron Lady"

After playing the role of Margaret Thatcher, Meryl Streep won the Oscar for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award. And the film also has an Oscar for best makeup. 

The film tells not only about Thatcher's bright political career, but also about how she spent the last years of her life — an unhappy lonely woman suffering from hallucinations and senile dementia. Meryl Streep did a perfect job. 

"The Immortal Beloved"

A biographical drama about the love and life of Ludwig van Beethoven. According to the plot, Beethoven bequeaths everything to the "immortal beloved", but who is she? His friend and secretary begins to search for a woman, learning more and more about the life of a genius.

Music, family values, gorgeous ladies and Gary Oldman as the "great deaf man".

"Ray"

And another Oscar for best actor deservedly went to Jamie Foxx, who played the American jazz singer, pianist and composer Ray Charles.

The story of a blind boy who, despite racial segregation and illness, was able to become a jazz legend. By the way, Jamie Foxx himself sat down at the piano in all the musical episodes.

"I'm not there"

In Todd Haynes ' biographical drama about the life of Bob Dylan, the main roles went to several actors at once. 

Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Ben Whishaw, Christian Bale and Marcus Carl Franklin — all these people have become a reflection of different stages of the life of the legendary author and performer.

Have you forgotten anyone? Of course! Cate Blanchett. Her resemblance to Bob Dylan is really striking.

"Lincoln"

Steven Spielberg's film about the sixteenth president of the United States, the role of which was played by Daniel Day-Lewis. 

For the image of Abraham Lincoln, Day-Lewis was recognized as the best actor of the year by many communities of film academies and film critics, he also received an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for best actor. By the way, at the" Oscar " the film was nominated in as many as 12 nominations and won two of them.

"Black Mass"

This crime drama from Scott Cooper tells about the life of James "Whitey" Bulger, an unprincipled gangster who came to life on the screens in the face of handsome Johnny Depp.

The film has no awards, only nominations: for the Saturn, Sputnik, Critics ' Choice Awards, as well as for the Screen Actors Guild Award. Well, we hope that sooner or later this moment will come and Johnny Depp will also have an Oscar. In the meantime, admire his reincarnation.
