В марте надеюсь приобрести с ребятами маечку. Цена демократичная - 6 долларов.
Не получится в Москве, куплю в Англии.


Старый дизайн.

Видела отрывки фильма много раз по ночам, и наконец посмотрела фильм.
С самого начала я догадывалась, кого ищет Микки Рурк.
Образ длинноволосого Роберт Де Ниро с длинными ногтями на его красивых руках, и тем кем он в конце концом оказался незабываем.
Интересно, засну сегодня?



читать дальшеMarlon Brando was briefly considered for the role of Louis Cyphre.

Alan Parker offered the role of Harry Angel to Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson and Robert De Niro himself before Mickey Rourke was cast.

Robert De Niro's performance is an impersonation of Martin Scorsese.

Alan Parker claims that Robert De Niro's performance as Louis Cypher was so eerie and realistic that he generally avoided him during his scenes, letting him just direct himself.

In the movie, Johnny Favorite's birthday is the same as director Alan Parker's (14 February).
In the book, it's 2 June - the same as the birthday of William Hjortsberg, who wrote it.

When Louis blows salt from his egg onto the restaurant table, Harry Angel takes a pinch and throws it over his left shoulder.
The superstition is that by doing so you blind the devil (or your evil angel).

Before each murder, Harry handles or has something to do with the murder weapon -
- the Bible containing Fowler's gun, the dagger used on Margaret, Toots Suite's razor, the pot of gumbo, his own gun.

Забавно, как каждый раз ведущий знает больше фактов из личной жизни актера, чем он сам.
Реакция актера всегда - "откуда вы это знаете?" или "о, ну вы сделали свою домашнее задание!".
Иногда речь заходит о личных проблемах актера, его переживаниях. И это хорошо. Это позволяет многое понять.

Забывчивость Бобби Де Ниро так очаровательна!

Горькая ирония - в фильме из квазимоды Микки с помощью пластики сделали красавчика, а в его собственной жизни наоборот.

Al Pacino was initially interested in playing the title character and worked with the producers on developing the sсript,
but ultimately dropped out of the project due to sсript problems; Pacino felt, despite numerous revisions,
they had never been able to transcend the sсript's B-movie qualities. - вот-вот. Я тоже об этом подумала.

Посмотрев фильм, я еще раз убедилась, что Микки - великолепный актер!
И черт возьми, каким же милым, сладким он был в 70-80х!
Ужасно заглядывать в кадры его фильмов в 90е, когда он вернулся к боксу, и хоть он оставался победителем, последовала череда травм, и неудачных пластических операций.
Тем не менее, обаяние и талант никуда не делось.

И еще, я немножко в шоке. Оказывается Эрик Робертс - хороший актер?
Честно, я не ожидала от него. Впечатляющая игра.
По-крайне мере в этом фильме он просто великолепен!
На этом сюрпризы не закончились - у него самая многочисленная фильмография, которую я пока что видела! 256 фильмов!
И хоть половина из них - второсортное говно, к чему и мое удивление его таланту в этом фильме, цифра всё таки внушительна.





Michael Cimino was asked to direct this film but didn't think it was a good film for him.
As a favor to the producers, who were on a deadline, he went to New York and did all the preproduction.
When they were set to begin shooting, the producers again tried to get Cimino to direct
but he told them he thought, considering the budget, they needed someone who could work faster than he was used to working and so they hired Rosenberg.

Rickie Lee Jones had originally written and recorded an instrumental demo as a theme, but it was rejected in favor of Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind."

Надеюсь все это видели. Старо как мир, но дикоо смешно!
Это шедевр! В сети еще много таких отрывков из разных фильмов, ключевое слово при поиске ПРОМТ.
Поищите, поржите, ахах. Я до сих пор ржу от перевода Криминального чтива.
Фильм нужно было называть МЯКОТЬ БЕЛЛЕТРИСТИКИ!

ТЫ СОБИРАЕШЬСЯ СЕСТЬ, ИЛИ НЕ ЯВЛЯЕШЬСЯ ТОБОЙ?

читать дальшеNatalie Wood turned down the role of Miranda Grey.

For the sequence in which Freddie drags Miranda through the rain, William Wyler had prop men throw buckets of water over Samantha Eggar without warning between takes.
Eggar later spoke of how Wyler succeeded in making her feel "defenseless," hence deepening her performance.

According to Terence Stamp, Wyler wouldn't let Samantha Eggar off the set during the day.
He also wouldn't allow her to eat with anyone else during the lunch break.
Stamp argues Wyler knew what he was doing, as the director whispered to him one day on set,
"I know this looks cruel, but we're going to get a great performance out of her."

This film was cited by notorious serial killer Bob Berdella as a key inspiration for his crimes.

Even though Samantha Eggar was unhappy with Stamp's cold treatment of her during filming,
she couldn't have known that he was simply following Wyler's instructions and staying in character.
Stamp later said, "All the guys had crushes on her, she was so beautiful...
I had a crush on her, too, and I was friendly with her. But when we started the movie,
Willy said, 'I don't want you to have anything to do with her.' He wanted me to withdraw any friendship.
He didn't want her to have anywhere to go or anyone to talk to, except her coach.
He didn't want her to be able to come to me in the evening and say, 'God, it's so awful.'"

According to Samantha Eggar, "The ending of The Collector, in fact, is almost illegal, because the Stamp character,
Freddie Clegg, gets away with murder, and you weren't allowed to do that in those days."
However, John Trevelyan, the censor, who had recently married a woman about half his age, nodded off during the screening,
and never saw the ending of the film. He woke up and signed off on it.
Had he been awake, we might have had a very different film, or people "might have been arrested".

The circumstances of Miranda's death in the film arguably paint Freddie in a better light than in the original novel.
In the film, Freddie is in the hospital for several days, and Miranda is already critically ill by the time he returns.
In the film, Freddie never goes to the hospital, and simply ignores Miranda's pleas that she's getting sick and needs a doctor.
Also in the film, while Freddie aborts his attempt to go to the doctor,
Miranda is already dead by the time he returns, suggesting that it would have made no difference even if he had brought one.
In the novel, Freddie has many opportunities over several days to go to the doctor, even after he knows for sure that Miranda is critically ill, and simply never does.

Al Pacino was considered for the lead role

The one-take master shot scene of Lenny doing his act in a raincoat near the end of the film
came from an actual tape recorded from a show he did that was sent to Dustin Hoffman by a student who saw the show.
Lenny's exact words in the scene on stage are verbatim from the tape of his show.
