ドイツのアート系ビジュアル出版社"TASCHEN"はこちら眺めているだけでも楽しい！海外Visual Bookをご紹介！Jack Nicholson was over thirty, and more than a decade into his acting career, when "Easy Rider" finally made him a star. His reputation as a rebellious anti-hero was furthered by three notorious confrontations in films of the 1970s: "Five Easy Pieces," "The Last Detail," and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nes""t." He has played villains in "The Shining" and "Batman," a hot-headed marine colonel in "A Few Good Men," and a ruthless mob boss in "The Departed." However, some of his best performances are in less showy roles where his skill is conveyed through subtlety. Jack has often turned down big money parts in order to take riskier roles such as the grim, introverted men in "Ironweed," "The Crossing Guard," "The Pledge," and "About Schmidt." Undoubtedly, Nicholson is a very fine actor, and in "Chinatown" he gives what may be his most memorable performance.
