1、这个杀手不太冷女主 影后 娜塔莉波特曼2016哈佛毕业演讲稿这个杀手不太冷女主 影后 娜塔莉波特曼2016哈佛毕业演讲稿 hello,class of 2016. i am so honored to be here today. dean khurana, faculty, parents, and most especially graduating students. thank you so much for inviting me the senior class committee. it s genuinely one of the most exciting things i

2、ve ever been asked to do. i have to admit primarily because i can t deny it as it as leaked in the wikileaks release of sony hack that hen i as invited i replied and i directly e my on email wo! this is so nice! i m gonna need some funny ghost riters. any ideas? this initial response no blessedly pu

3、blic as public as from the knoledge that at my class day e ere lucky enough to have will ferrel as class day speaker and that many of us ere hung-over, or ever freshly high mainly anted to laugh. so i have to admit that today, even 12 years after graduation i m still insecure about my on orthiness.

4、i have to remind myself today you re here for a reason.today i feel much like i did hen i came to harvard yard as a freshman in 1999 hen you guys ere, to my continued shock and horror, still in kindergarten. i felt like there had been some mistake, that i asn t smart enough to be in this pany, and t

5、hat every time i opened my mouth i ould have to prove that i asn t just a dumb actress. so i start ith an apology. this on t be very funny. i am not a edian. and i didn t get a ghost riter. but i am here to tell you today harvard is giving you all diplomas tomorro. you are here for a reason. sometim

6、es your insecurities and your inexperience may lead you, too, to embrace other people s expectation, standard, or values. but you can harness that inexperience to carve out your on path, one that is free of the burden of knoing ho things are supposed to be a path that is defined by its on particular

7、 set of reasons. the other day i ent to an amusement park ith my soon-to be 4-year-old son. and i atched him play arcade games. he as incredibly focused, throing his ball at the target. jeish mother that i am, i skipped 20 steps and as already imagining him as a major league player ith hat is his ai

8、m and his arm and his concentration. but then i realized hat he ant. he as playing to trade in his tickets for the crappy plastic toys. the prize as much more exciting that the game to get it. i of course anted to urge him to take joy and the challenge of the game, the improvement upon practice, the

9、 satisfaction of doing something ell, and even felling the acplishment hen achieving the game s goal. but all of these aspects ere shaded by the little 10 cent plastic men ith sticky stretchy blue arms that adhere to the alls. thati-that as the prize. in a child s nature, e see many of our on innate

10、 tendencies. i sa myself in him and perhaps you do too. prizes serve as false idols everyhere. prestige，ealth, fame, poer. you ll be exposed to many of course of there, if not all. of course, part of hy i as invited to e to speak today beyond my being a proud alumna is that i ve recruited some very

11、coveted toys in my life including a not so plastic, not so crappy one: an oscar. so e hump up against the mon troll i think of the mencement address people ho have achieved a lot telling you that the fruits of the achievement are not alays to be trusted. but i think that contradiction can be reconci

12、led and is in fact instructive.achievement is onderful hen you kno hy you re doing it. and hen you don t kno, it can be a terrible trap. i ent to a public high school on long island, syosset high school. ooh, hello syosset! the girl i ent to school ith had prada bags and flat-ironed hair. and they s

13、poke ith an accent i ho had moved there at age 9 from connecticut minmicked to fit in. florida oranges, chocolate cherries. since i m ancient and the internet as just starting hen i as in high school. people didn t really pay that much of attention to the fact that i as an actress. i as knon mainly

14、at school for having a back pack bigger than i as and alays having hite-out on my hands because i hated seeing anything crossed out in my note books. i as voted for my senior yearbook i most likely to be a contestant on jeopardy for code for nerdiest. when i got to harvard just after the release of

15、star wars: episode 1, i kne i ould be starting over in terms of ho people vieed me i feared people ould have assumed i d gotten in just for being famous, and that they ould thinks that i as not orthy of the intellectual rigor here. and it ould not have been far from the truth, when i came here i had

16、 never ritten a 10-page paper before. i m not sure i ve ritten a 5-page paper. i as alarmed and intimidated by the calm eyes of a fello student ho came here from dalton or exeter ho thought that capered to high school the orkload here as easy. i as pletely overhelm, and thought that reading 1,000 pa

17、ges a eek as unimaginable, that riting a 50-page thesis is just something i could never do. i have no idea to declare my intentions. i couldn t even articulate them to myself. i ve been acting since i as 11. but i thought acting as too frivolous and certainly not meaningful. i came from a family of

18、academics and very concerned of being taken seriously. in contrast to my inability to declare myself, on my first day of orientation freshman year, five separate students introduced themselves to me by saying, i m going to be president. remember i told you that. their names, for the record, ere bern

19、ie sanders, marco rubio, ted cruz, barack obama, and hilary clinton. in all seriousness, i believed every one of them. their bearing and self-confidence alone seemed proof of their prophecy here i couldn t shake my self-doubt. i got in only because i as famous. this as ho others sa me and it as ho i

20、 sa myself.driven by these insecurities, i decided i as going to find something to do in harvard that as serious and meaningful that ould change the orld and make it a better place. at the age of 18, i d already been acting for 7 years. and assumed i find a serious and profound path in college. so f

21、reshman fall i decided to take neurobiology and advanced modern hebre literature because i as serious and intellectual. needless to say, i should have failed both. i got bs, for your information, and to this day, every sunday i burn a small effigy to the pagan gods of grade inflation. but as i fight

22、ing my through aleph bet yod y shua in hebre and the different mechanisms of neuro-response, i sa friends around me riting papers on sailing and top culture magazines, and professors teaching classes on fairy tales and the matrix. i realized that seriousness for seriousness s sake as its on kind of

23、trophy, and a dubious one, a pose i sought to counter some half-imagined argument about ho i as. there as a reason that i as an actor. i love hat i do. and i sa from my peers and my mentors that it as not only an acceptable reason, it as the best reason. when i got to my graduation, sitting here you

24、 sit today, after 4 years of trying to get excited about something else, i admitted to myself that i couldn t ait to go back and make more films. i anted to tell stories, to imagine the life of others and help the others do the same. i have found or perhaps reclaimed my reason. you have a prize no,

25、or at least you ill tomorro.the prize is a harvard degree in your hand. but hat is the reason behind it? my harvard degree represent, for me, the curiosity and invention that ere encouraged here, the friendship i ve sustained the ay professor graham told me not to describe the ay light hit a floer b

26、ut rather the shado the floer cast, the ay professor scarry talked about theatre is a transformative religious force ho professor coslin shoed ho much our visual cortex is activated just by imagining. no granted these things don t necessarily help me anser the most mon question i m asked: what desig

27、ner are you earing? what s your fitness regime? any makeup tips? but i have never since been embarrassed to myself as hat i might previously have thought as a stupid question. my harvard degree and other adards are emblems of the experiences hich led me to them. the ood paneled lecture halls, the co

28、lorful fall leaves, the hot vanilla toscaninis, reading great novels in overstuffed library chairs running through dining halls screaming: ooh! ah! city step! city step! city step! city step! it s easy no to romanticize my time there. but i had some very difficult times here too. some bination of be

29、ing 19, dealing ith my first heartbreak, taking birth control pills that have since been taken off the market for their depressive side effects, and spending too much time missing daylight during inter months led me to some pretty dark moments, particularly during sophomore year. there ere several o

30、ccasions here i started crying in meetings ith professors overhelmed ith hat i as supposed to pull off hen i could barely get myself out of bed in the morning. the moments hen i took on the motto for my school ork, done, not good. if only i could finish my ork, even if it took eating a jumbo pack of

31、 sour patch kids to get me through a single 10-page paper. i felt that i ve acplished a great feat. i repeat to myself: done, not good. a couple of years ago, i ent to tokyo ith my husband and i ate at the most remarkable sushi restaurant. i don t even eat fish. i m vegan. so that tells you ho good

32、it as. even ith just vegetables, this sushi as the stuff you dreamed about. the restaurant has six seats. my husband and i marveled at ho anyone can make rice so superior to all other rice. we ondered hy they didn t make a bigger restaurant and be the most popular place in ton. our local friends exp

33、lains to us that all the best restaurants in tokyo are so that small and do only one type of dish: sushi or tempura or teriyaki, because they ant to do that thing ell and beautifully. and it s not about quantity. it s about taking pleasure in the perfection and beauty of particular. i m still learni

34、ng no that it s about good and maybe never done. and the joy and ork ethic and virtuosity e being to the particular can impart a singular type of enjoyment to those e give to and of course, to ourselves. in my professional life, it also took me time to find my on reasons for doing my ork. the first

35、film i as in came out in 1994. again, appallingly, the year most of you ere born. i as 13 years old upon the film s release and i can still e hat the ne york times said about me verbatim. ms portman poses better than she acts. the film had universally tepid critic response and ent on to bomb mercial

36、ly. that film as called the professional, or leon in europe. and today, 20 years and 35 films later, it is still the film people approach me about the most to tell me ho much they loved it, ho much they moved them, ho it s their favorite movie. i feel lucky that my first experience of releasing a fi

37、lm as initially such a disaster by all standards and measures. i learned early that my meaning had to be from the experience of making film and the possibility of connecting ith individuals rather than the foremost trophies in my industry: financial and critical success. and also these initial react

38、ions could be false predictors of your ork s ultimate legacy, i started choosing only jobs that i m passionate about and from hich i kne i could glean meaningful experiences.this thoroughly confused everyone around me: agents, producers, and audiences alike. i made gotya s ghost, a foreign independe

39、nt film and study our history visiting the produce everyday for 4 months as i read about goya and the spanish inquisition. i made for vendetta, studio action movie for hich i learned everything i could about freedom fighters hom otherise may be called terrorists, from menachem begin to weather under

40、ground. i made your highness, a pothead edy ith danny mcbride and laughed for 3 months straight. i as able to on my meaning ant not have it be determined by box office receipts or prestige. by the time i got to making black san, the experience as entirely my on. i felt immune to the orst things anyo

41、ne could say or rite about me, and to hether the audience felt like to see my movie or not. it as instructive for me to see for ballet dancers once your technique gets to a certain level, the only thing that separates you from others is your quirks or even flas. one ballerina as famous for ho she tu

42、rned slightly off balanced. you can never be the best, technically. some ill alays have a higher jump or a more beautiful line. the only thing you can be the best at is developing your on self. authoring your on experience as very much hat black san itself as about. i orked ith darren aronofsky the

43、director ho changed my last line in the movie to it as perfect. my character nina is only artistically successful hen she finds perfection and pleasure for herself not hen she as trying to be perfect in the eyes of others. so hen black san as successful financially and i began receiving accolades i

44、felt honored and grateful to have connected ith people. but the true core of my meaning i had already established. and i needed it to be independent of people s reactions to me. people told me that black san as an artistic risk, a scary challenge to try to portray a professional ballet dancer. but i

45、t didn t feel like courage or daring that drove me do it. i as so oblivious to my on limits that i did things i as oefully unprepared to do. and so the very inexperience that in college had made me insecure and made me ant to play by other s rules no is making me actually take risks i didn t even re

46、alize ere risks. when darren asked me if i could do ballet i told him i as basically a ballerina hich by the ay i holeheartedly believed. when it quickly became clear that preparing for film that i as 15 years aay from being a ballerina. it made me ork a million times harder and of course the magic

47、of cinema and body doubles helped the final effect. but the point is, if i had knon my on limitations i never ould take of the risk. and the risk led to one of my greatest artistic personal experiences. and that i not only felt pletely free. i also met my husband during the filming. similarly, i jus

48、t directed my first film, a tale of love in darkness. i as quite blind to the challenges ahead of me. the film is a period film, pletely in hebre in hich i also act ith an eight-year-old child as a costar. all of these are challenges i should have been terrified of, as i as pletely unprepared for th

49、em but my plete ignorance to my on limitations looked like confidence and got me into the director s chair.once here, i have to figure it all out, and my belief that i could handle these things contrary to all evidence of my ability or do so as only half the battle. the other half as very hard ork.

50、the experience as the deepest and most meaningful one of my career. no clearly i m not urging you to go and perform heart surgery ithout the knoledge to do so! making movies admittedly has less drastic consequences than most professions and allos for a lot of effects that make up for mistakes. the t

51、hing i m saying is, make use of the fact that you don t doubt yourself too much right no. as e get older, e get more realistic, and that includes about our on abilities or lack thereof. and that realism does us no favors. people alays talk about diving into things you re afraid of. that never orked

52、for me. if i am afraid, i run aay. and i ould probably urge my child to do the same. fear protects us in many ays. what has served me is diving into my on obliviousness. being more confident than i should be hich everyone tends to decry american kids, and those of us ho have been grade inflated and

53、ego inflated. well. it can be a good thing if it makes you try things you never might have tried. your inexperience is an asset, and ill allo you to think in original and unconventional ay. accept your lack of knoledge and use it as your asset. i kno a famous violinist ho told me that he can t pose

54、because he knos too many pieces so hen he starts thinking of the note an existing piece immediately es to mind. just starting out of your digest strengths is not knon ho things are supposed to be. you can pose freely because your mind isn t cluttered ith too many pieces. and you don t take for granted the ay ho things
