The multi-talented Kitano Takeshi, a.k.a. Beat Takeshi, is a Japanese comedian, actor, TV presenter, author, poet, painter, video game designer, award-winning film director and academic. He is one of the few Japanese entertainers to be famous around the world. His highly unique style and creative genius have kept him at the forefront of film and television for decades.
日本人北野武天賦異稟,他身兼喜劇演員、演員、電視節(jié)目主持人、作家、詩人、畫家、電子游戲設(shè)計師、獲獎電影導(dǎo)演以及學(xué)者,他也被人們稱之為“彼得武”。他也是少數(shù)世界知名的日本藝人。數(shù)十年以來,他獨特的表現(xiàn)形式,極具創(chuàng)造力的才能讓他一直活躍于熒屏。
Kitano’s career is so varied it’s difficult to know where to begin. In his native Japan, he is best known as a TV host and comedian. Switch on Japanese TV and you’re likely to see Takeshi in one of his many zany roles. He started in comedy in the 1970s as half of the manzai comic duo Two Beats. Their TV debut made them both household names.
北野武涉獵范圍多種多樣,讓我們不知從何說起。在日本當(dāng)?shù)兀俏恢碾娨暪?jié)目主持人,喜劇演員。打開日本電視機,我們很可能看到北野武的滑稽表演。20世紀(jì)70年代,他組成相聲搭檔“Two Beats”,并從此進入喜劇之路。電視首秀讓他們家喻戶曉。

Takeshi decided to go it alone in the 1980s and his resume greatly broadened. In 1983, he appeared in the movie ‘Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence’ and became world famous. He starred in and directed ‘Violent Cop’ in 1989, which was the beginning of his career as a filmmaker. His 1997 ‘HANA-BI’ established his international status as one of Japan's top directors.
北野武于80年代決定單飛,事業(yè)涉獵范圍擴寬。1983年,他參演《圣誕快樂,勞倫斯先生》,并憑借此片引得世界矚目。1989年,他導(dǎo)演并主演影片《兇暴的男人》,從此開啟電影制作人事業(yè)。1997年電影《花火》讓他作為日本頂級導(dǎo)演蜚聲國際影壇。
Kitano won the prestigious Silver Lion award at the Vienna Film Festival for 2003’s ‘Zatoichi’. Since April 2005, he has been a professor at Tokyo’s National University of Fine Arts and Music. He continues to paint, write, be funny, and make movies. There’s no telling in which direction his career will move next.
2003年威尼斯威尼斯電影節(jié),他憑借《座頭市》獲得銀獅獎。自2005年4月起,就任東京藝術(shù)大學(xué)教授。他的繪畫、寫作、搞笑以及電影之路依然繼續(xù)。他的事業(yè)將向何處發(fā)展無人知曉。
