Пересматривая фильм, не перестаю удивляться как героям, так и актерам.
Особенно конечно Дэниелу, и мальчику, играющих Кристи.
Обязательно прочитаю его книги. И это однозначно один из моих самых любимых фильмов.

Делаю перепост записи. Смотрю на дату - почти ровно год назад смотрела.
Видать в в конце февраля и начале марта у меня Day-Lewis state of mind.



Daniel Day-Lewis insisted on remaining in his wheelchair in between takes.

According to the "Making of My Left Foot" segment on the Special Edition DVD, Daniel Day-Lewis broke two ribs during filming
from assuming the hunched-over position in his wheelchair for weeks of filming.
He also would refuse to come out of character. On visits to the set canteen, other people would have to help him with food.
On one visit from his English agent, Day-Lewis again refused to come out of character as Christy Brown, and his frustrated agent took off.

Miramax spent over 3 times the film production budget on its publicity campaign to get the film noticed for Oscar consideration.

Many of the scenes were filmed through a mirror, as Daniel Day-Lewis could only manipulate his right foot to perform the actions seen in the film.
