11岁的一天，镜的《杀手里昂》招聘 女主角的导演吕克·贝松。虽说娜塔莉当时年龄还 小，但从未涉足表演的她却自此一鸣惊人。不过虽 然成就了一个经典，但也使得娜塔莉不得不对自己 采取保护措施，避免骚扰，把名字改成祖母娘家的 “波特曼”。
[Background]:
娜塔莉·波特曼在83届奥斯卡的获 奖感言
[About Speaker]：
1981年6月9日，娜塔莉·波特曼出生在以色列的耶 路撒冷，原来名叫娜塔莉·赫许勒。父亲是一名以 色列医生，母亲则是美国的艺术家，同时也是她的 经纪人。3 岁后她便离开以色列随全家搬到华盛顿 州，几次搬迁之后终于定居纽约。
娜塔莉·波特曼凭借她在惊悚片《黑天鹅》当中饰 演的精神分裂芭蕾舞者一角夺得了第83届奥斯卡 金像奖影后殊荣。虽然在结果公布前娜塔莉已经凭 借该片揽获不少奖项，并且是今届奥斯卡的大热， 但这位29岁的以色列—美国人在领奖那一刻仍然 无法淡定自若，用几乎颤抖的声音感谢所有人。 2010-2011年，她凭借电影《黑天鹅》里人格分 裂的芭蕾舞者角色，横扫金球奖、演员公会奖、影 评人票选奖。这篇获奖感言虽然很短，语句质朴， 将娜塔莉本人的独有人格魅力完美的结合到了一起： 低调、质朴、真实，而这也是我们最初喜欢她的那 个样子。

Black Swan (语文演讲PPT)
★剧情非常饱满，充满激情的告诉观众光荣与黑暗的荒谬。
★优美地将暴力元素铺排在整部电影里，并用漂亮的芭蕾作为外壳。
对待感情。最开始是把感情当解救空虚的救命稻草，后来是把感情当做解脱上一 段感情的工具，再后来，终于明白，感情是付出和珍惜。 有些女人，有让自己幸福的能力，无论遇见谁，在哪里，都能让自己的生活过得 滋润快乐；有些女人，有让自己不幸的能力，无论遇见谁，在哪里，都能让自己过 得很不开心。那是一种胜肽的需求，天生的悲剧主义者和乐观主义者，那就是区别， 尔后成为女人和女人之间最大的区别：40岁的时候，女人不是怨妇，就是慈母。 女人天生是需要付出的。你一直把自己当公主，你就永远不会成熟，你为人妻， 为人母，还是想着享受和剥夺，当生活的重担压着你时，你就会抱怨，变得越来越 刻薄。现在我明白了，付出是最大的快乐。一个忠诚的男人，一个乐于付出的女人， 这就是幸福的夫妻。一个花心的男人，一个斤斤计较的女人，这就是杯具。
电影对妮娜心中的黑天鹅一点点 苏醒的全过程进行了非常细致入 微的描绘。首先妮娜在电影开场 时还是一只渴望完美的白天鹅， 但是却很不自信。之后妮娜无意 间发现自己背后的抓痕，打破她 的完美的第一步，这也预示着其 实长期以来妮娜的内心一直有着 挣扎，黑天鹅一直存在。 她心中的黑天鹅试图撕破妮娜看 似完美的表面挣脱而出。这种意 识层面的撕裂也会带来真实的痛 觉，但是却不会看到真正表象的 伤口。在各种后来的矛盾中，羡 慕，嫉妒，猜疑和憎恨一点点腐 蚀着妮娜内心的防护墙。，矛盾 在一点点激化接近高潮，她心中 的另一个自己逐渐突破的心中的 牢笼，黑天鹅的种种特征开始在 妮娜的表层意识中显现出来，妮 娜的意识几乎被另一个自己所吞 噬，甚至乎她在镜中看到的自己 也已经不再是一个人的形象，。
电影中妮娜的母亲始终是一个很特 别的存在。 妮娜对完美近乎疯狂的追求也似乎 源于她母亲对她严苛的教育和要求。 她把妮娜的房间装饰成粉红色，并 且放满各种毛绒玩具，说明她不愿意 看到妮娜长大，离开她的掌控。 她也曾是一名芭蕾舞演员，于是她把 妮娜看做是自己的生命的延续，希望 妮娜能帮助自己完成未完成的梦想。 然而她又是极度神经质的，她在房间 里挂满了女儿和自己的画像，喜欢严 密的监视着妮娜的生活。她的关心和 爱护，造就的妮娜表象的完美，也造 成了她精神世界的极度脆弱和挣扎。 她越想牢牢把妮娜缩在自己的掌控范 围内，妮娜心中反抗的声音就越强烈， 力量也越强大。最终导致了白天鹅死 亡的悲剧。

Natalie Portman双语介绍
进音乐《we belong togther》第83届奥斯卡颁奖典礼于2011年2月27日在洛杉矶柯达剧院举行，之前呼声最高的娜塔莉波特曼成功凭借《黑天鹅》里德出色表现成功封后。
今天的英语名人堂就介绍给大家她的星路和选择。
进音乐《黑天鹅- Nina's Dream》赵：从最初站在镁光灯下到今天，昔日的女孩如今已长大，纯真依旧但是多了份成熟女人的自信与风情。
娜塔莉正用自己的实际行动向世界证明——她是好莱坞新一代演员中最具实力，最有前途的女星。
出生于圣城耶路撒冷的娜塔莉·波特曼家境优越，拉宾的年代，炮火连天的局面不得不使全家移民美利坚。
那一年波特曼只有三岁，不经世事，避过了触目惊心的烽烟，安谧祥和地生活在大洋彼岸，她的父亲是位著名的医师，身为艺术家的母亲而后成为她的经理人。
9岁的娜塔莉·波特曼在纽约一家披萨店里被星探发现，露华浓公司本想将她定位为模特，却被一口拒绝，从那时起，她就期待着成为一名演员。
赵：吕克·贝松的第一部英语电影在美国选角，这位怪蜀黍在丽芙·泰勒和娜塔莉·波特曼之间摇摆不定，前者个子太高了，后者又太小，不放弃的波特曼索性又到贝松跟前来了一轮表演，最终拿下电影全片的剧本。
这部片子就是《这个杀手不太冷》，青春叛逆的马蒂尔德惊艳绝伦，杀手庇护下的柔弱身影成功实现了抢镜，不过出名给她带来了无穷无尽的麻烦，为保隐私，她不得不把姓氏从赫许勒改为祖母家的波特曼，那一年，她仅仅12岁。
此时加在她身上的，是“萝莉代言人”的标签，《盗火线》里艾尔·帕西诺的继女，《火星人》中杰克·尼科尔森的女儿，《美丽佳人》中的早熟少女，演完这些后，波特曼相继推掉了《冰风暴》、《洛丽塔》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》等片约。
一头扎进百老汇的剧院，是《安妮·弗兰克日记》的热烈排演，没有电影的喧嚣，却有谢幕时的掌声阵阵。
在好莱坞女星中，娜塔莉·波特曼算是个异数，她兢兢业业地完成了四年的学士课程。

娜塔丽·波特曼PPT
Maybe all these experiences just express a little part of her distinctions. In 1999 when she has already filmed in Star War, Heat, Beautiful Girls etc and costarred with many film stars such as Al Pacino, Woody Allen, she entered Harvard at the age of 18 after graduation from high school to study psychology. Besides, she even hid her name and refused all the commercial activities to ensure her study in Harvard. She once said,” I like being with the talents, my roommates all have extraordinary experiences in different fields. ” knowing that Harvard would treat everyone equally; she concentrated more on study and achieved the BA degree in 2003.

The Senior Class Committee. it’s genuinely one of the most exciting things I’ve ever been asked to do.I have to admit primarily because I can’t deny it as it was leakedin the WikiLeaks release of the Sony hack that hen I was invited I replied and I directly quote my own email.” Wow! This is sonice!” ”I’m gonna need some funny ghost writers. Any ideas? ”This initial response now blessedly public was from the knowledge that at my class day we were lucky enough to have Will Ferrel as class day speaker and many of us were hung-over, or even freshly high mainly wanted to laugh.So I have to admit that today, even 12 years after graduation. I’m still insecure about my own worthless.I have to remind myself today you’re here for a reason.Today I feel much like I did when I came to Harvard Yard as a freshman in 1999.When you guys were,to my continued shocked and horror, still in kindergarten.I felt like there had been some mistake, that I wasn’t smart enough to be in this company, and that everytime I opened my mouth.I would h ave to prove that I wasn’t just dumb actress.So I start with an apology. This won’t be very funny. I’m not a comedian.And I didn’t get a ghost writer.But I am here to tell you today.Harvard is giving you all diplomas tomorrow. You are herefor a reason. Sometimes your insecurities and your inexperience may lead you, too, to embrace other people’s expectations, standards, or values. But you can harness that inexperience to carve out your ownpath, one that is free of the burden of knowing how things are supposed to be, a path that is defined by its own particular set of reasons.That other day I went to an amusement park with my soon-to-be 4-yeas-old son. And I watch him play arcade games. He was incredible focused, throwing his ball at the target. Jewish mother than I am, I skipped 20 steps and was already imagining him as a major leagueplayer with what is hisarm and his arm and his concentration. But then I realized whathe want. He was playing to trade in his tickets for the crappyplastic toy. The prize was much more exciting than the game to get it.I of course wanted to urge him to take joy and the challenge of the game, the improvement upon practice, the satisfaction of doing something well, and even feeling the accomplishment when achievingthe game’s goals. But all of these aspects were shaded by the 10cent plastic men with sticky stretchy blue arms that adhere to the walls. That-that was the prize. In a child’s nature, we see many of our own innate tendencies. I saw myself in him and perhaps you do too.Prizes serve as false idols everywhere(圣经里的false idol). Prestige, wealth, fame, power. You’ll be exposed to many of these,if not all. Of course, part of why I was invited to come to speaktoday beyond my being a proud alumna is that I’ve rec ruited somevery coveted toys in my life including a not so plastic, not socrappy one: an Oscar. So we bump up against the common troll I thinkof the commencement address people who have achieved a lot tellingyou that the fruits of the achievement are not always to be trusted. But I think that contradiction can be reconciled and is in fact instructive. Achievement is wonderful when you know why you’re doing it. And when you don’t know, it can be a terrible trap.I went to a public high school on Long Island, Syosset High School. Ooh, hello, Syosset! The girls I went to school with hadPrada bags and flat-ironed hair. And they spoke with an accent I who had moved there at age 9 from Connecticut mimicked to fit in. Florida Oranges, Chocolate cherries. Si nce I ’m ancient and the Internet was just starting when I was in high school. People didn’t really paythat much of attention to the fact that that I was an actress. I was known mainly at school for having a back bigger than I was and always having white-out on my hands because I hated seeing anything crossed out in my note books. I was voted for my senior yearbook ‘ mostlikely to be an contestant on Jeopardy ’ or code for nerdiest. WhenI got to Harvard just after the release of Star Wars: Episode 1, Iknew I would be staring over in terms of how people viewed me. I feared people would have assumed I’d gotten in just for being famous, and that they would think that I was not worthy of the intellectual rigor here. And it would not have been far from the truth. When I came here I had never written a 10-paper before. I’m not even sureI’ve written a 5-page paper. I was alarmed and intimidated by the calm eyes of a fellow student who came here from Dalton or Exeter who thought that compared to high school the workload here was easy. Iwas completely overwhelmed and thought that reading 1000 pages a week was unimaginable, that writing a 50-page thesis is just something I could never do. I Had no idea how to declare my intentions. Icouldn’t even articulate them to myself.I’ve been acting since I was 11. But I thought acting was too frivolous and certainly not meaningful. I came from a family of academics and was very concerned of being taken seriously. Incontrast 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 Itold you that. Their names, for the record, were Bernie Sanders, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton. In all seriousness, I believed every one of them. Their bearing and self-confidence alone seemed proof of their prophecy where I couldn’t shake my self-doubt. I got in only because I was famous. This was how others saw me and it was how I saw myself. Driven by these insecurities, I decided I was going to find something to do inHarvard that was serious and meaningful that would change the world and make it a better place.At the age of 18, I’d already been acting for 7 years, and assumed I find a more serious and profound path in college. So freshman fall I decided to take neurologist and advanced modern Hebrew literature because I was 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 Iwas fighting my way through Aleph Bet Yod Y shua in Hebrew and the different mechanisms of neuro-response, I saw friends around mewriting papers on sailing and pop culture magazines, and professors teaching classes on fairy tales and The Matrix. I realized that seriousness for seriousness’s sake was its own kind of trophy, and a dubious one, a pose I sought to counter some half-imagined argument about who I was. There was a reason that I was an actor. I love what。

This was how others saw me and it was how I saw myself. Driven by these insecurities, I decided I was going to find something to do in Harvard that was serious and meaningful that would change the world and make it a better place.At the age of 18, I’d already been acting for 7 years, and assumed I find a more serious and profound path in college. So freshman fall I decided to take neurologist and advanced modern Hebrew literature because I was serious andintellectual. 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 was fighting my way through Aleph Bet Yod Y shua in Hebrew and the different mechanisms of neuro-response, I saw friends around me writing papers on sailing and pop culture magazines, and professors teaching classes on fairy tales and The Mat rix. I realized that seriousness for seriousness’s sake was its own kind of trophy, and a dubious one, a pose I sought to counter some half-imagined argument about who I was. There was a reason that I was an actor. I love what I do. And I saw from my peers and my mentors that it was not only an acceptable reason, it was the best reason.When I got to my graduation, siting where you sit today, after 4 years of trying to get excited about something else, I admitted to myself that I couldn’t wait to go back an d make more films. I wanted to tell stories, to imagine the lives of others and help others do the same. I have found or perhaps reclaimed my reason. You have a prize now or at least you will tomorrow. The prize is Harvard degree in your hand. But what is your reason behind it ? My Harvard degree represents, for me, the curiosity and invention that were encouraged here, thefriendships I’ve sustained the way Professor Graham told me not to describe the way light hit a flower but rather the shadow the flower cast, the way Professor Scarry talked about theater is a trans-formative religious force how professor Coslin showed how much our visual cortex is activated just by imaging. Now granted these things don’t necessarily help me answer the most common questio n I’m asked:What designer are you wearing?What’s your fitness regime?Any makeup tips? But I have never since been embarrassed to myself as what might previously have thought was a stupid question.My Harvard degree and other awards are emblems of the experiences which led me to them.The wood paneled lecture halls,the colorful fall leaves,the hot vanilla Toscaninis,reading great novels in overstuffed library chairs.running through dining halls screaming.Ooh!Ah!Citysteps!Citysteps!Citysteps!City steps! It’s ea sy now to romanticize my time here.ButIhad some very difficult times here too.Some combination of being 19,dealing with 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 winter months,led me to some pretty darkmoments,particularly during sophomore year.There were several occasions where I started crying in meetings with professors,overwhelmed with what I was supposed to pull off ,when I could barely get myself out of bed in the morning. Moments when I took on the motto for my school work:Done,Notgood.If only I could finish my work,even if it took eating a jumbo pack of sour Patch Kids to get me through a single 10-page paper.I felt I’v e accomplished a great feat,I repeat to myself:Done,Not good.A couple years ago,I went to Tokyo with my husband,and I ate at the most remarkable sushi restaurant,I don’t even eat fish,I’m vegan.So that tells you how good it was.Even with just vegetable,this sushi was the stuff you dreamed about.The restaurant has six seats.My husband and I marveled at how anyone can make rice so superior to all other rice.We wondered why they don’t make a bigger restaurant,and be the most popular place in town.Our local friends explain to us that all the best restaurants in Tokyo are that small,and do only one type of dish:sushi or tempura or teriyaki.Because they want to do things well and beautiful.And it’s not about quantity.It’s about taking pleasure in the perfection and beauty of the particular.I’m still learning now that it’s about good and maybenever done.And the joy and work ethic and virtuosity we bring to the particular can impart a singular type of enjoyment to those we give to,and of course to ourselves.In my professional life,it also took me time to find my own reason for doing my work.The first film I was in came out in 1994.Again,appallingly,the year most of you were born,I was 13 years old upon the film’s release,and I can still quote what the New York Times said about me verbatim,[Ms Portman poses better than she acts],The film had a universally tepid critic response,and went on to bomb commercially.That film was 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 how much they loved it,how much it moved them,how it’s their favorite movie.I feel lucky that my first experience of releasing a film was initially such a disaster by all standards and measures.I learned early that my meaning had to be from the experience of making the film and the possibility of connecting with individuals,rather than the foremost trophies in my industry/financial and critical success.And also these initial reaction could be false predictors of your work’s ultimate legacy.I started choosing only jobs that I’m passionate about,and from which I knew I could gleanmeaningful experiences.This thoroughly confused everyone around me:agents,producers,and audiences alike,I made Gotya’s Ghost,a fo reign independent film and studied art history,visiting the produce everyday for 4 months as I read about Goya and the Spanish Inquisition,I made V for Vendetta,studio action movie for which I learned everything I could about freedom fighters whom otherwise may be called terrorists from Menachem Begin to Weather Underground.I made Your Highness,a pothead comedy with Danny McBride and laughed for 3 months straight.I was able to own my meaning and not have it be determined by box office receipts or prestige.By the time I got to making Black Swan,the experience was entirely my own,I felt immune to the worst things anyone could say or write about me. And to whether the audience felt like to see my movie or not.It was instructive for me to see ballet dancers,once your technique gets to a certain level,the only thing that separates you from others is your quirks or flaws.(怪异甚至瑕疵).One ballerina was famous for how she turned slightly off balanced.You can never be the best,technically.Someone will always have a higher jump or a more beautiful line.The only thing you can be the best at isdeveloping your own self.Authoring your own experience was very much what Black Swan itself was about.I worked with Darren Aronofsky the director whom changed my last line in the movie to:It was perfect.Because my characte Nina is only artistically successful when she finds perfection and pleasure for herself,not when she was trying to be perfect in the eyes of others.So when Black Swan was successful financially and I began receiving accolades.I felt honored and grateful to have connected with 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 Swan was an artistic risk.A scary challenge to try to portray a professional ballet dancer.But it didn’t feel like courage or daring that drove me do it.I was so oblivious to my own limits that I did things I was woefully unprepared to do.And so the very inexperience that in college had made me feel insecure.and made me want to play by others’rules.Now is making me actually take risks.Ididn’t even realize were risks.When Darren asked me if I could do ballet,I told him that I was basically a ballerina which by the way I wholeheartedly believed.When it quickly became clear that preparing for the film that I was 15 years away from being a ballerina.It mademe work a million times harder and of course the magic of cinema and body doubles helped the final effect.But the point is,if I had known my own limitations,I never would have taken the risk.And the risk led to one of my greatest artistic personal experiences.And that I not only felt completely free,I also met my husband during the filming.Similarly,I just directed my first film,A Tale of Love in Darkness.I was quite blind to the challenges ahead of me.The film is a period film,completely in Hebrew in which I also act with an eight-year old child as a costar.All of these are challenges I should have been terrified of,as I was completely unprepared for them.but my complete ignorance to my own limitation looked like confidence and got me into the director’s chair.Oncethere,I had to figure it all out,and my belief that I could handle these things contrary to all evidence of my ability to do so was only half the battle.The other half was very hard work.The experience was the deepest and most meaningful one of my career.Now clearly I’m not urging you to go and perform heart surgery without the knowledge to do so!Making movies admittedly has less drastic consequences than most professions,and allows for a lot effects that make up for mistakes.The thing I’m saying is,make use of the fact that youdon’t doubt yourself too much right now.Aa we get older,we get more realistic,and that includes about our abilities or lack thereof.And that realism does us no favors.People always talk about diving into things you’re afraid of.That never worked for me.If I’m afraid,I run away.And I would probably urge my child to do the same.Fear protects us in many ways.What has served me is diving into my obliviousness.Being more confident than I should be which everyone tends to decry American kids,and those of us who have been grade inflated and ego inflated.Well, it can be a good thing if it makes you try you never might have tried.You inexperience is an asset,and will allow you to think in original and unconventional ways.Accept your lack of knowledge and use it as your asset.I know a famous violinist who told me that he can’t compose because he knows too many pieces,so when he starts thinking of the note and existing piece immediately comes to mind.Just starting out one of your biggest strengths,is not knowing how things are supposed to be.You can compose freely because your mind isn’t cluttered with too many pieces.And you don’t take for granted the way how things are.The only way you know how to do things is your own way.You here will go on to achieve great things.There is no doubt about that.Each timeyou set out to do something new,your inexperience can either lead you down a path where you will conform to someone else’s values,or you can forge your own path.Even though you don’t realize that’s what you’re doing.If your reason are your own.Yourpath,even if it is a strange and clumsy path,will be wholly yours.And you will control the rewards of what you do,but making your internal life fulfilling .At the risk of sounding like America contestant,the most fulfilling things I’ve experienced have truly been the humaninteraction:spending time with women in village banks in Mexico with FINCA microfinance organization,meeting young women who were the first and the only in their communities to attend secondary schools in rural Kenya;with Free the Children group that built sustainable schools in developing countries,tracking with gorilla conservationists(自然保护主义) in Rwanda.It’s a cliche(这是老生常谈),because it’s true,that helping others ends up helping you more than anyone.Getting out of your concerns,and caring about some else’s life for a while,reminds you that you are not the center of the univ erse.And that in the ways we’re generous or not,we can change the course of someone’s life.Even at work,the small feat of kindness,crewmembers,directors,fellow actorshave shown me,have had the most lasting impact.And of course,first and foremost,the center of my world,is the love that I share with my family and friends.I wish you that your friends will be with you through it all,as my friends from Harvard have been together since we graduated.My friends from school are still very close.We have nursed each other through heartaches and danced at each others’weddings.We’ve held each other at funerals,and rocked each other’s new babies.We worked together on projects,helped each other get jobs,and thrown parties for when we’ve quit bad ones.And now our children are creating a second generation of friendship,as we look at them toddling together.Haggard and disheveled working parents(疲惫而凌乱的上班族家长) that we are.Grab the good people around you and don’t let them go.The biggest asset this school offers you,is a group of peers that will both be your family and your school for life.I remember always being pissed at the spring here in Cambridge.Tricking us into remembering,a sunny yard full of laughing frisbee throwers.(阳光洒满院子，人们扔着飞盘欢声笑语的场景).After 8 months of dark dwelling.It was like the school has managed to turn on the good weather,as a last memory we should keep in mind that would make us want tocome back.But as I get further away from my years here,I know the power of this school is much deeper than weather control.It changed the very question that I was asking.To quote one of my favorite thinkers Abraham Joshua Heschel:To be or not to be is not the question,the vital question is:how to be and how not to be. Thank you. I can’t wait to see how you do all the beautiful things you will do.。
