Top 20 beste films met Al Pacino
Er zijn er nog maar een paar in leven en zo veel zijn er niet geboren van het kaliber Al Pacino. het script mag rammelen, de andere acteurs slecht presteren, de kans is groot dat onze “Al” je wel door de film heen sleept met zijn acteerkwaliteiten.
Hier ook nog wat quotes van ‘Big Al’:
Vanity is my favourite sin.
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You’re in a conversation and everybody’s agreeing with what you’re saying – even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don’t want to hear.
Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later and then you listen to the movie. And it sort of plays in your mind like a film, like a first rough cut of a movie.
The problem with me is, I guess, the way I express myself, you have to be with me 50 years before you can get a sense of what I’m talking about.
You need some insecurity if you’re an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven’t yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.
My first language was shy. It’s only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.
I’m an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools.
My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didn’t know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother.
