First Audtion Groping Hands

SILVESTER STALLONE INTERVIEW WITH SEAN PENN &


His latest work is set in Burma, a tragedy that the press does not reflect and that is not known. As we approached this issue so hard? In today's world because we need heroes?


I believe that modern heroes are of various sizes and dimensions, not even necessarily have to have muscles heroes nowadays mostly need the heart and brain.
The world knows much of Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, all of these disaster-stricken areas and there are gaps in the world wars that are passed over in silence, which are kept secret, that nobody talks about, so I thought it would be interesting to face a war that has been going on and that has lasted 60 years but was held over in silence . And I also asked "Is this human nature? E 'this is the way in which we are made? And I thought that Rambo was not going to slip, he would not go to fight in a war" famous ", a war known. Rather would go but would return to his personal hell. And I thought that Burma was hell from this point of view. A hell of a war which nobody knows and nobody talks about. At this point the film could serve two masters; by part to educate, make people aware of this horrible situation, which is not known, it is not popular, which is not widespread. Secondly let Rambo to return to this his personal hell, so be sure n entertaining films but at the same time something educational.

What does Rambo in his career?

All of us have a part that is heaven and hell part. The generous side and the altruistic side. The artistic side, creative side and the destructive, nihilistic. The good and bad side. There is also the person we closed, pessimistic, vindictive, evil, that leads to self-destructive war. And I think this can be described as the conscious and unconscious. For me, after all, nowadays I consider it a privilege. I thought it was a bit 'a curse being identified with these two characters, but I think it is a privilege, the possibility of both the pessimistic side of the world that optimistic. The party is a pessimist who is disappointed that this bitter rejection of others but even that optimistic because the world is like that. E 'at 50% and 50% one thing then another and so the possibility of this man who embodies the warrior, who is the eternal soldier trying to return home and then at the bottom to discover that a house is not 'and you do not have it. So the two aspects which are those of loneliness but also the aspect of love.

The Los Angeles Times came out a table that has written an Ohio University professor who has seen all the Rambo movies and did the calculations. He saw that the first, 82 to date there has been a boom of deaths. schemro on. An average of 2.59 is more than you think the world has become more violent, or is the film most in need of action and adrenaline?

For bodycount, body count, since there is an increase in population must try to keep up and maintain the momentum. The idea really is that in a movie where there are fewer deaths and less bodies can be more dramatic as a movie with many deaths can be a film more violent because they kill more and more it seems a silly action movie but in reality it is not. In this film, also I had no choice whereas in Burma, the situation is exactly as I have described, perhaps even worse. There is this strong, big strong violence. For example, a few months ago there was this episode where Buddhist monks were killed, there was talk of 15.20 on the news or maybe 30 people dead, but thousand of monks were made to disappear from the face of this earth and violence is but unfortunately the representation of the ferocity of these people in this situation.

How come there are never any sex scenes in Rambo?

The problem is that he had an accident in etnam where you jumped off something and this is why it has a long knife.

What do you think action movie right now?

action films vary with the personality and the psychology of society. When I was a kid were the films of John Wayne, and those were action movies. Then came my generation, I, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Chuck Norris and the film is enriched to the level of fantasy, has become more fantastic, more Hollywood. Today there is a computer-based generation, advanced technology, this kind generally has become less physical, more physical and based on technology-based computers, the possibilities of special effects. Obviously not want to sound like my father or my grandfather saying "ah, well in my time, my generation were certainly better," I say simply that today is more driven to technology and less on the physical part, there is less need Jason Bourne then this is definitely different from what might be in our times. And 'course I'd like to have that level of technology since the days when you had me do a stunt or a accrobazia was that I'll knock down a tree is not that there were alternatives. Now I create all the computer.

There is a list of the chapters of Rambo in your opinion?

The first is as the first child, maybe even give you some problems but you're stuck in a very strong emotionally. The second in terms of ranking is by far the latter. The second Rambo is very American, full of fantasy with this war fought in Hollywood, very different. The realization of the highest male fantasy background. In the third I tried to do something different, with the Russians who go to fight in Afghanistan. But you must be very careful when you go to do something that has unanatura to do with politics because just two weeks before the film comes to america Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan gives a kiss to Perestroika! I then leave us. And I'm not kidding. Turning the world in Australia I certainly did not boo, I had become an enemy. With this I knew that despite the situation in Burma, even if I shot a film there would be a strata Perestroika for Burma because this is not a war ends or that is resolved with a handshake. Among other things, I must say that I contacted, I do not know anyone, Brima the consulate in Washington because I wanted to go to Burma and they told me there was nothing that was all my own imagination, a fantasy, there was no war. I tried to say that Angelina Jolie is in Iraq, George Clooney in Darfur, I want to go to Burma but they said that was out of her own and was not welcome. You're not welcome. This is to tell you how horrible the situation of war. This film is definitely for me
what gave me greater satisfaction, perhaps just because one thinks like Rambo you can make a difference, doing something, dedicated, you can try to change something. As the soldier that is dedicated to social activities and work for solidarity and try to change the world. Actually no, you're wrong. The only person who can change is yourself. People can change but there is no army and no one who can change the world but only temporarily.

you support John McCain, why? Sees it as a ransom for Rambo, and sees it as his buddy. This will be the last chapter as Rocky? O never say never?

Do not speak of political actors because the actors do not know anything. Plus of course I can express my opinion however that this rate will not move I can guarantee. Just because we are amateurs, we are not experts in politics, absolutely level surface, as a reaction and emotional response, I argue McCane because I think right now our country needs a truly mature person, a person who has experience, someone who understands the game and knows how to play, and whether we like it or not, so politics is a matter of life or aA death but in the end politics is a game and we need qualcunoche know how to participate, how to play and there is no time now for a beginner, a person who has yet to learn how to go there, it fills the office, the post of president and learn, there must be someone who has seen the maturity that we are going to a devastating eight years, we must try to recover the dignity that our country has lost in recent years. It is not fault of a single, one. The fault is unfortunately a bit 'of all. How did the global situation thus far instinctive level I trust him. It 'a person who looks me confidence, and CREDOC can do good for the country, certainly not eprchè may resemble or seem puuò or why Rambo is an ex-soldier or a veteran. I think in the future Obama or Hillary Clinton will be the big stars will also be of great presidents, but today we need someone else. And 'as if I had to choose someone for a film it is obvious that I turn to someone like Arnold Schwartzenegger, I know, that I trust rather than someone who does not know. For me it will
very difficult to say goodbye to Rambo, already has been hard to say goodbye to Rocky. Also because I feel I have much more to say about Rambo and Rmabo and if I had to abandon it forever I would be very depressed.

As directed. The direction is different than other direction. What was its approach to the representation of violence is not graphic but it does send a message? With regard also to the seriousness of the situation. And for the homecoming of the hero as a director what he thought of that scene?

As for the scene back home that speaks of this warrior as if a life begins as we see him off with a Rocky hand and disappears. It gives us the idea of \u200b\u200bsomething that I wanted to do with Rambo continues Oved. I shot a scene in which Rambo sees in the distance, his father, a father who is Indian and this is the reason he inherited all of these features to be so strong and so combative. When I pensaot it would be better, since I still have ideas to make this so you probably will not be the last Rambo I thought I'd leave this thing open, leave it undefined, as the idea in terms of directing, of course I asked myself the question of how to make the direction of the film because I do not know or are not Spielberg make a movie like Black Hawk Down, but I pesni that the best thing would be to turn attreverso the film as Rambo's eyes so that moments of tension and adrenaline still, never a quiet moment if not a few moments here and there as well. And this seemed the best situation and then also the subject of the representation of violence is represented as it is committed in that country. The scene where Rambo rips the throat of the man is not a scene shot exclusively for the purpose of shock the audience. It 'just a kind of reaction and emotional and sexual tension by Rambo that he wants to try to prove what they have done to this woman while trying to rape her and what has been done to prove to all the Burmese women who are been raped. He wants try to make this man the suffering, the pain, the humiliation of being raped. It is not simply the murder itself is not enough, this level of violence is very graphic and very realistic. And it was done to show the public especially the young people what can be a bloody war. Do not forget that wars are those pù violent civilian and not one to the other country. It 's the worst that can perpetrate violence.

Can you clarify the rumors about his participation in the project of Quentin Tarantino, Inglorious Bastards?

I've ever read. People continue to say it, but nno is not true. It 's like a kind of stupid crdo legend but not even that there is a script.

INTERVIEW WITH EMILE HIRSCH



How did the collaboration with Eddie Vedder for the music of the film?

Sean Penn: I had in mind Eddie Vedder's music when I wrote the script and I made sure to structure scenes so that the songs were part of the transitions of the film.
It 'was during the filming of the movie, to see what he was doing while she played Chris McCandless Emile, I have identified the function of the voice of Eddie and I knew what I wanted to do with his beautiful songs.

As the plaintiff has identified a so perfect in the part as Emile Hirsch?

Sean Penn Emile had seen him in a movie and there were many things that convinced me in his physical appearance, as a way of moving. I spent some months with him and one of the main points I wanted to be absolutely sure about was that he had the desire and hunger to spend eight months in those circumstances, that he was willing to get involved and it was the best bet I ever did it because I think it is the absolute best person for the part.

What makes her angry today as an artist, as a man and a citizen?

Sean Penn: I think I can find all sorts of things that make me angry today. This is a kind of fuel but I like to think not only on the basis of these reactions that I have my creative inspiration. I tend to use the word "volume" in these cases. When stupidity becomes too loud, this aroused in me a reaction more than anything else.

Have you ever taken a trip of this kind, spiritual in nature and in solitude like that of Chris McCandless? How long the shooting lasted?

Sean Penn: Perhaps my experience may seem closer in some respects to that of the character of Chris is perhaps my life as a surfer on the ocean. But there is nothing that remotely comes to that level. And the other question was? Sorry yesterday I drank too much red wine and go slow. Yes, the shooting lasted eight months.

What attracted you to this story in particular young people and what kind of lesson should come up in your opinion?

Sean Penn: I guess it was too repetitive in this respect but I think that we Americans especially, but in general throughout the Western world, we live in a society that has developed an addiction to comfort and I would like the film provoke reactions these young people to get them to consider the possibility get them out of comfort zone. E 'must perform a change focus from what others tell us to be as we grow and we choose who we want to be really. It 'a rite of passage that leads us to push this limit. I certainly do not recommend to put yourself in danger but we must make our hearts beat faster.

What is the sentiment that has guided at all stages, from choosing the subject director?

Sean Penn: There are two elements that were the anchor, a part of the story is motivated by escape from the corruption of the world, from family life, but the dominant part of the film is in research, in pursuit, find a place that had a link which was in line with what I want to be. So a sort of celebration of freedom, a quest for freedom.

avoided in practice to show you how Chris McCandless as a modern saint, balance defects and quality?

Sean Penn: For me the balance was an important issue to become the real story of Chris McCandless, maintain authenticity without letting it become a martyr or support everything that ever was. It was important to represent it as we see it, and then as we believe that he was. So the element of authenticity is important. In this equilibrium point is not dargliele all won in situations where he acted selfish, immature, thoughtless, reckless, it comes to maintaining the integrity of the elements in the film, at least in the character where the faults are underlined: his humanity, situations courageous love. In fact this is what it is. They are our flaws that make us human. I have not made any effort to avoid excessive emphasis on the holiness or defects. I thought it was interesting for the spectators to allow this character to do everything possible to become what he wants, even with the flaws that are left free to express themselves. In fact you can clearly see in acting with honesty that we can do for the authenticity of the natural world above us, so I did not make any effort either one way or another.

It 'important to make political films nowadays? The man, in your opinion, should get closer to nature?

Sean Penn: It depends. Sometimes these are political films to be well defined. The important films to me are those that express something of interest for the filmmaker, the director when he does. At this time it's easy to see why we are on the rise of political films. As far as being connected with nature are in agreement with Most people who think that nature should be considered a priority for us.

Given what happens to Chris McCandless, who does not fit in your opinion is bound to perish in the words of Darwin ?

Sean Penn: I try to be very careful in their responses to certain questions. I try to respond from the point of view of the public because I am one of the public in some way. So I think we need to free ourselves from the conditioning but none of this would be worth if you do not report what we learned in our community, family and all that surrounds it. It's about being alone but is a value that must be broadened so as to shared.

What kind of support needed to become a director with a personal style?

Sean Penn: I guess in all the films that I made the stubbornness has been my closest friend but this is a rather unique case and other people who are here with me are very important and also the Paramount me very strong from beginning to end, even economically. Bill (Polhad, producer Ed) gave me much support and has had the courage to give me so much support for a film like this even though clearly there would have been all this without Emile. They are very important. They are making good choices with the people we work with.

The film puts an emphasis on family values, how do you see this?

Sean Penn: It 's a difficult one for families, I am not one who believes in the injury of blood, if someone is part of our family we do not have a debt to them. Everything must be earned. Most of us have a tendency to be more tolerant and understanding in these circumstances with people who are not of our blood, so to speak, but the important question in this story is that any child, any person in his own way must be ready to do whatever is necessary to change skin and that includes respect for parents to find out who is really and feel that your life belongs to themselves while you live and I think everyone should do this personal journey during their lives

There is a whole religious inspiration that takes this film and its protagonist. In your opinion, is an attempt to express an act of faith?

Sean Penn: I agree that it is an act of faith, but my job is not to describe something as a religion, the most important thing is the personal aspect of religion beyond that we do so expressed or unexpressed, conscious or unconscious. The important thing is that there is faith.

The film sees Bush's father. It's been fifteen year and time seems to stand still, then there was Iraq and there is still at this time. As she sees it?

Sean Penn: 's true. Bush can tell his father about this: I've been to a concert of Bruce Springsteen and he addressed the audience saying "look how far we have and now we are coming back." These are words that I share.

Emile Hirsch, she is interesting as an actor it was already in Lords of Dogtown. In Into The Wild as he worked on the body?

Emile Hirsch: Into The Wild As far as I had to get fit, I have done many endurance challenges, challenged weather, course, working out, without a diet and this was a true gift. I have always been physical as a person before, but this film also required a level of physicality that I was new. Kayak on the rapids of the Colorado and the Grand Canyon, tuffarmici and everything I did, climbing in Alaska. We came very close to Chris's clothing, clothes but not the real things are very similar and it was cold. I suffered from the cold and heat and even some crew members have felt bad deal.

Sean Penn, which is why she takes part in a movie and what drives her to tell a story?

Sean Penn: The choices have changed as an actor in years, but now I think I fell in love with acting and then directing the choices in these fields are very similar in the way we choose a partner in life, you have to choose well if no one is left in the trap, so to speak.

Emile changed as the nature of your relationship with yourself?

Sean Penn: My perceptions and reactions to nature are different, they are more intense with regard to 'appreciation of it. The joy it gives me the nature, the ideas of exploration, see the enormity of the possibilities. The other side is a huge respect for the danger is always present in nature and when you see up close how fast can precipitate a situation that can be dangerous you can have a different perception of life, as far as my sense of mortality and I think many people can live their lives thinking that will never happen to them something bad but being in close contact with the nature of a slip can end your life or it can leave you in terms of disability so be very careful and take care of themselves in any way rely on themselves in a way.

What is the relationship you had with the family, sister, parents?

Sean Penn: The report has been trusted. We have spent the time to build over 10 years before I would allow it to make a film about their history but are open to me I have hosted at their home, told the story of their son and have been of great help to me


Emile Hirsch: I got to know Walt, Billie, the sister of Chris and I have found them intelligent and kind people. Their knowledge has enlightened me and made me realize who it was Chris. This is what influenced me in 'play the part was feeling the love he had for his sister, discover the heart of love, he speaks as if he were still alive. He has more respect for what you do when you realize that they are real people. I do not know, I know I saw the character differently when I realized that person was.

What about the wonderful interpretation of Hal Holbrook?

Sean Penn: It 's great. Nobody was better than him in doing that part. Not much else to say. My contribution was to have chosen. I said action and he did the rest. I like to feel that his work was appreciated.
