Tommy Lee Jones 汤米·李·琼斯
Born: 15 September 1946
Birthplace: San Saba, Texas
Best Known As: Craggy-faced star of Men in Black
Tommy Lee Jones won an Oscar for his supporting role in The Fugitive (1993), and got just as much attention as the movie's star, Harrison Ford. After that came leading roles in Oliver Stone's Heaven and Earth (1993), Cobb (1994), The Client (1994, with Susan Sarandon) and Men in Black (1997, with Will Smith). Jones grew up in Texas, studied English at Harvard (where he roomed with Al Gore) and started his career on the stage. He got into the movies, debuting in 1970's Love Story. He worked steadily in the movies in character roles, and in 1982 won an Emmy for the TV movie of Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song. In the '80s his roles got bigger and better, and his supporting role in JFK (1991) earned him an Oscar nomination. His turn as the worried dad of an American soldier in In the Valley of Elah (2007) brought him another Oscar nomination (his first for a leading role). Jones's other movies include Coal Miner's Daughter (1980, starring Sissy Spacek), Space Cowboys (2000, with Clint Eastwood), The Missing (2003, with Cate Blanchett) and the Coen brothers' 2007 film version of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men.
我观之我见
一望无际的荒凉，冷漠而丝毫没有人情味的杀手，因为贪财而招致黑帮追杀的退伍老兵，还有一个总是比罪犯慢一拍的警察，再加上冷酷的杀人情节，突兀的剧情走向，这些构成了科恩兄弟的奥斯卡小众影片——《老无所依》。影片似乎是在诉说不可估摸的命运，人生充满了不确定性，Llewellyn 无意中发现的钱财和毒品，一向随心所欲杀人的冷血杀手最后却出了车祸，一辈子生活在对早年荣光向往中的老警察最后无奈的辞职。另一方面，影片似乎又在感慨这个世界已经世风日下、人心不古，罪犯们杀人已经不需要理由、只要自己想、自己方便就可，而这种恶也并不是今时今日才有，只不过在今天扩大化了。总之一句话：一切都是虚无。
