The man he briefly knew as his father, Harry Bloom, was a legendary political activist who fought for civil rights in South Africa. But Harry died of a stroke when Orlando was only four years old. After that, Orlando and his older sister, Samantha Bloom, were raised by their mother, Sonia, and family friend, Colin Stone. When Orlando was 13, Sonia revealed to him that Colin was actually his biological father.Orlando attended St. Edmunds School in Canterbury but struggled in many courses because of dyslexia. He did embrace the arts, however, and enjoyed pottery, photography and sculpturing. He also participated in school plays and was active at his local theater. As a teen, Orlando landed his first job: he was a clay trapper at a pigeon shooting range. Encouraged by his mother, he and his sister began studying poetry and prose, eventually giving readings at Kent Festival. Orlando and Samantha won many poetry and Bible reciting competitions. Then Orlando, who always idolized larger-than-life characters, gravitated towards serious acting. At the age of 16, he moved to London and joined the National Youth Theatre, spending two seasons there and gaining a scholarship to train with the British American Drama Academy. Like many young actors, he also auditioned for a number of television roles to further his career, landing bit parts in British television shows "Casualty" (1986), "Midsomer Murders" (1997) and "Smack the Pony" (1999). He also appeared in the critically acclaimed movie Wilde (1997).He then attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. It was there, in 1998, that Orlando fell three stories from a rooftop terrace and broke his back. Despite fears that he would be permanently paralyzed, he quickly recovered and returned to the stage.

I don't think so. Even with his ridiculous unkempt appearance as the roguish Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, I wanted him to be in every scene. Although this adventure flick disappointed me in terms of its ghost-ridden plot and over-the-top action sequences, I found it worth seeing because of Depp's extraordinary efforts to create another memorable screen character. And he succeeds with flying colors: Jack Sparrow is every bit as unforgettable as Depp's squeamish Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow."It was a different kind of role for me," Depp declared. "It was a great opportunity to invent this pirate from the ground up, to create a different kind of pirate than you have seen before."The filmmakers wisely gave Depp the freedom to do what he wanted in developing Jack Sparrow's persona. "We just let him go and he came up with this off-center, yet very shrewd pirate," explained producer Jerry Bruckheimer. "He can't quite hold his balance, his speech is a bit slurred, so you assume he's either drunk, seasick or he's been on a ship too long. But it's all an act perpetrated for effect. And, strange as it seems, it's also part of Captain Jack's charm."Depp claims he modeled Sparrow after Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards -- because "Pirates were the rock stars of their day." He also admits throwing a bit of Pepe Le Pew, the cartoon character, into the mix.Depp's unique creation emerges as man with a mischievous nature and an optimistic outlook. No matter how many bad things happen to Captain Jack, he continues on his mission to find his ship, the Black Pearl. He's determined to get it back from the scoundrels who took it from him. Depp describes Jack as "a guy who was able to run between the raindrops. . . . He can walk across the DMZ, entertain a troop and then sashay back to the other side and tell the enemy another story. He tries to stay on everyone's good side because he's wise enough to know he might need them in the future."Director Gore Verbinski (The Ring)compares Jack Sparrow to Lee Marvin's character in Cat Ballou. "He's not the villain and he's not the love interest. He really just floats through the story affecting all around him while pursuing his goal."Characters affected by Jack Sparrow in Pirates make up a motley crew indeed -- one that includes the treacherous Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), a handsome blacksmith (Orlando Bloom), the governor's beautiful kidnapped daughter (Keira Knightley), and a host of frightening supernatural creatures.While Verbinski goes overboard with too many swordfights and fighting skeletons, I admired the exciting ship-to-ship cannon battle. With more disciplined editing, this pirate flick could have been one of the best.If you missed Pirates on the big screen earlier this year, fear not, mateys. You can catch it on DVD or VHS (from Buena Vista Home Entertainment) beginning December 2. The DVD extras look promising. There are commentaries by Verbinski, Depp and Bruckheimer as well as a feature titled "An Epic at Sea: The Making of Pirates of the Caribbean," an interactive history of pirates called "Below Deck," and a blooper reel.2.影迷观后感Surprisingly GoodAuthor: Brad2002Although I had expectations ( from watching the trailers ) that this might be a good movie, I was still surprised that it's as good as it is. The story is actually more complex than I had expected, involving cursed pirates and their quest to rid themselves of the curse. I won't say more than that so as not to spoil it if you haven't seen it.There aren't as many action scenes as I had thought there would be in a pirate movie, but the ones that are in the movie were very fun and enjoyable. After seeing it, I think it had the right balance of action and drama. There are also, of course, a lot of funny bits interspersed between the action and drama. Some really good special effects also add to the enjoyment of this movie.I wasn't much of a fan of Johnny Depp until I saw this movie. I think he deserved to win the Academy Award for best actor. It's largely because of his performance, IMO, that the movie was so good. Most of the supporting cast did well, mind you, just that Johnny Depp stood high above the rest. I did find Orlando Bloom's performance a bit wooden, but other than that the acting was good.Basically, it's a really fun movie and I'd give it about 8 out of 10
