Ian Charleson
Oyuncu · 1949 – 1990 · Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Ian Charleson (11 August 1949 – 6 January 1990) was a Scottish stage and film actor. He is best known internationally for his starring role as Olympic athlete and missionary Eric Liddell, in the Oscar-winning 1981 film Chariots of Fire. He is also well known for his portrayal of Rev. Charlie Andrews in the 1982 Oscar-winning film Gandhi. Charleson was a noted actor on the British stage as well, with critically acclaimed leads in Guys and Dolls, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Fool for Love, and Hamlet, among many others. Over the course of his life Charleson performed numerous major Shakespearean roles, and the annual Ian Charleson Awards were established in his honour in 1991, to reward the best classical stage performances in Britain by actors aged under 30. The Houghton Mifflin Dictionary of Biography describes Charleson as "a leading player of charm and power" and "one of the finest British actors of his generation." Alan Bates wrote that Charleson was "definitely among the top ten actors of his age group." Ian McKellen said Charleson was "the most unmannered and unactorish of actors: always truthful, always honest." Charleson was diagnosed with HIV in 1986, and died in 1990 at the age of 40. He requested that it be announced after his death that he had died of AIDS, in order to publicize the condition. This was the first show-business death in the United Kingdom openly attributed to AIDS, and helped to promote awareness of the disease.

Film7.6DramTarih20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında İngiliz sömürgesi altındaki Hindistan'da geçen film, bağımsızlık mücadelesi için İngiliz yönetimine karşı "Pasif Direniş"i örgütleyen Mahatma Gandhi'nin hayatından bir kesit anlatıyor. En iyi biyografik çalışmalardan biri olarak kabul edilen Gandhi, 11 dalda aday olduğu Oscar ödüllerinden "en iyi film" ve "en iyi yönetmen" dahil tam 8 ödülle döndü. Gandhi rolünde sinema tarihinin en iyi performanslarından birine imza atan usta oyuncu Ben Kingsley'nin ise "en iyi erkek oyuncu" dalında heykelciğe uzanmasıysa pek zor olmadı. Cenaze sahnesinde yaklaşık 300.000 kişinin yer almasıyla da bir film sahnesinde yer alan en kalabalık insan sayısı rekorunu da elinde bulunduran film, çarpıcı sahneleriyle hafızalardan silinmeyecek bir yapıt. Hindistan bağımsızlık hareketinin lideri Gandhi'nin gerçek hayatından sinemaya aktarılan bu gerçekçi yapım, ülkemizde yıllarca yasaklanmış ve gösterime girememişti..
