إلياس كازانتزوغلو ( Elias Kazantzoglou ؛ باليونانية: Ηλίας Καζαντζόγλου, el ؛ 7 سبتمبر 1909 - 28 سبتمبر 2003) ويُعرف بإسم إيليا كازان ( Elia Kazan ؛ ( /ˈliə kəˈzæn/ EE-lee-ə kə-ZAN),[1][2][أ] was an American film and theatre director, producer, screenwriter and actor, described by The New York Times as "one of the most honored and influential directors in Broadway and Hollywood history".[3]

منتج ومخرج مسرحي وسنيمائي أمريكي من أصل يوناني. ولد في اسطنبول وهاجرت عائلته في صغره إلى الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. حاز على جائزة الاوسكار مرتان كأفضل مخرج ورشح للجائزة مرتين أخرتين.

His films were concerned with personal or social issues of special concern to him. Kazan writes, "I don't move unless I have some empathy with the basic theme."[4] His first such "issue" film was Gentleman's Agreement (1947), with Gregory Peck, which dealt with antisemitism in America. It received eight Oscar nominations and three wins, including Kazan's first for Best Director. It was followed by Pinky (1949), one of the first films in mainstream Hollywood to address racial prejudice against African Americans. A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), an adaptation of the stage play which he had also directed, received twelve Oscar nominations, winning four, and was Marlon Brando's breakthrough role. Three years later, he directed Brando again in On the Waterfront, a film about union corruption on the New York harbor waterfront. It also received 12 Oscar nominations, winning eight. In 1955, he directed John Steinbeck's East of Eden, which introduced James Dean to movie audiences.[بحاجة لمصدر]

A turning point in Kazan's career came with his testimony as a witness before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1952 at the time of the Hollywood blacklist, which brought him strong negative reactions from many friends and colleagues. His testimony helped end the careers of former acting colleagues Morris Carnovsky and Art Smith, along with the work of playwright Clifford Odets.[5] Kazan and Odets had made a pact to name each other in front of the committee.[6] Kazan later justified his act by saying he took "only the more tolerable of two alternatives that were either way painful and wrong."[7] Nearly a half-century later, his anti-communist testimony continued to cause controversy. When Kazan was awarded an honorary Oscar in 1999, dozens of actors chose not to applaud as 250 demonstrators picketed the event.[8]

Kazan influenced the films of the 1950s and 1960s with his provocative, issue-driven subjects. Director Stanley Kubrick called him, "without question, the best director we have in America, [and] capable of performing miracles with the actors he uses."[9]:36[10] Film author Ian Freer concludes that even "if his achievements are tainted by political controversy, the debt Hollywood—and actors everywhere—owes him is enormous."[11] Orson Welles said "Kazan is a traitor [...] [but] he is a very good director."[12] In 2010, Martin Scorsese co-directed the documentary film A Letter to Elia as a personal tribute to Kazan.[13][14]

السيرة

ولد في إسطنبول عاصمة الخلافة العثمانية بتركيا لأبوين يونانيين يعملان في تجارة السجاد فهو من أصل يوناني. هاجر إلى الولايات المتحدة في الرابعة من عمره مع أبويه. درس في وليامز كوليدج ثم درس الدراما في جامعة يال بأمريكا. قبل أن ينضم إلى فرقة "نجموعة المسرح" بنيويورك كممثل. كما عمل في المسرح الفيديرالي حيث عمل بشتى الحِرَف: مسؤولاً عن الاكسسوارات ، ممثلاً ، مساعد مخرج، ثم مخرجا وأخرج مسرحيات ذات توجهات اجتماعية. في تلك الفترة كانت له توجهات يسارية وقد انضم إلى الحزب الشيوعي الأمريكي لفترة وجيزة ما بين السنين 1934 إلى 1936.

بعد اقفال محترف مجموعة المسرح توجه إلى هوليوود حيث عمل ممثلا في فيلمين وعاد بعدها إلى نيويورك ليعمل مخرجا في مسرح برودواي فسطع نجمه هناك مما حدا بشركة فوكس بالاتفاق معه. أخرج فيلمه الروائي الطويل الأول عام 1945 وكان اسم الفيلم "شجرة تنمو في بروكلين"، وتوالت افلامه ذات الطابع الاجتماعي الغزير فتناول الخطأ القضائي في "بوميرانغ" (1947)و"جنتلمان (1947)، الذي نال العديد من الاوسكارات، وتناول موضوع العنصرية في الجنوب الامريكي في فيلم بينكي أي الوردي عام 1949. ظهرت براعته الاخراجية في فيلم "ذعر في الشوارع" والذي صوّره في شوارع نيو أورلينز كما في تحفته السينمائية عربة تدعى الرغبة (1952) التي تناول فيها مسرحية بنفس العنوان لتنيسي وليامز. في فترة المكارثية تراجع امام الضغوط وأدلى شهادة وشى فيها عن بعض زملائه مما شوه سمعته في نظر الأوساط اليسارية. قدّم أفلاما عديدة بعد ذاك: فيفازاباتا (1951)، على رصيف الميناء (1954)، شرقي عدن (1955)، النهر المتوحش (1960)، امريكاامريكا (1963)، روعة على العشب والتدبير (1969)، الزائران (1971)، آخر العمالقة (1976).

فاز للمرة الأولى بجائزة عام 1952 عن عربة تدعى الرغبة وفي المرة الثانية عام 1999 نال اوسكاراً تكريمياً لمجمل اعماله مما أعاد اثارة الجدل حول ما فعله في فترة المكارثية وقد صفر ضدّه عدد من حضور حفل الاوسكار.

The trailer for Viva Zapata (1952) with Marlon Brando and Anthony Quinn

Kazan became known as an "actor's director" because he was able to elicit some of the best performances in the careers of many of his stars. Under his direction, his actors received 24 Academy Award nominations and won nine Oscars.

He won as Best Director for Gentleman's Agreement (1947) and for On the Waterfront (1954). Both A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and On the Waterfront were nominated for twelve Academy Awards, respectively winning four and eight.

With his many years with the Group Theatre and Actors Studio in New York City and later triumphs on Broadway, he became famous "for the power and intensity of his actors' performances".[23] He was the pivotal figure in launching the film careers of Marlon Brando, James Dean, Julie Harris, Eli Wallach, Eva Marie Saint, Warren Beatty, Lee Remick, Karl Malden, and many others. Seven of Kazan's films won a total of 20 Academy Awards. Dustin Hoffman commented that he "doubted whether he, Robert De Niro, or Al Pacino, would have become actors without Mr. Kazan's influence."[3]

Upon his death, at the age of 94, The New York Times described him as "one of the most honored and influential directors in Broadway and Hollywood history".[3] Death of a Salesman and A Streetcar Named Desire, two plays he directed, are considered to be some of the greatest of the 20th century. Although he became a respected director on Broadway, he made an equally impressive transition into one of the major film directors of his time. Critic William Baer notes that throughout his career "he constantly rose to the challenge of his own aspirations", adding that "he was a pioneer and visionary who greatly affected the history of both stage and cinema".[23] Certain of his film-related material and personal papers are contained in the Wesleyan University Cinema Archives to which scholars and media experts from around the world may have full access.[24]

His controversial stand during his testimony in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA) in 1952 became the low point in his career, although he remained convinced that he made the right decision to give the names of Communist Party members. He stated in an interview in 1976 that "I would rather do what I did than crawl in front of a ritualistic Left and lie the way those other comrades did, and betray my own soul. I didn't betray it. I made a difficult decision."[23]

During his career, Kazan won both Tony and Oscar Awards for directing on stage and screen. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan presented him with the Kennedy Center honors award, a national tribute for lifetime achievement in the arts. At the ceremony, screenwriter Budd Schulberg, who wrote On the Waterfront, thanked his lifelong friend saying, "Elia Kazan has touched us all with his capacity to honor not only the heroic man, but the hero in every man."[3]

In 1999, at the 71st Academy Awards, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro presented the Honorary Oscar to Kazan. This would be a controversial pick for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences due to Kazan's history regarding his involvement with the Hollywood Blacklist in the 1950s.[25] Several members of the audience including Nick Nolte and Ed Harris refused to applaud Kazan when he received the award while others such as Warren Beatty, Meryl Streep, Kathy Bates, and Kurt Russell gave him a standing ovation.[26][27]

Martin Scorsese directed a film documentary, A Letter to Elia (2010), considered to be an "intensely personal and deeply moving tribute"[28] to Kazan. Scorsese was "captivated" by Kazan's films as a young man, and the documentary mirrors his own life story while he also credits Kazan as the inspiration for his becoming a filmmaker.[13][14] It won a Peabody Award in 2010.[29]
