Liam about his role in "Memory"

 I have always known that Liam is an actor who prepares very conscientiously and intensively for his roles by reading specialist literature,  talking to people affected and through self-awareness. Many fans don't even know that Liam moved into a homeless shelter for three days in 1986 to prepare for his role in the movie "Suspect" and to play his character as authentically as possible. 
Liam also prepared very intensively for his role in "Memory". A quality that I really like. 
Yesterday I read an interview that Liam 2022 did on the occasion of his movie "Memory" . Especially the sentence that Liam said at the end is now one of my favorite statement from him ... 
"I did a lot of research on Alzheimer's and Dementia to incorparate subtle signs of the disease  - stuttering and a general vagueness- into my role. I wasn't sure and asked Guy Pearce,  who was the director,  when we started filming,  if I wanted to show a character with is in the early -stage of Alzheimer's disease. I didn't want to exaggerate too much. In the movie,  in the scene where I visit my brother,  who also has Alzheimer's,  you can see how the disease affects people in the final stage. I have two friends in Ireland who have Alzheimer's disease. " ...
..."Of course, like almost everyone, I sometimes lose my memory. I have to write things down every now and then,  you know"?, says Liam and continuing to talk, " Sometimes I find it hard to remember names. But when it comes to memories from my childhood or things that mom or dad said to me and my sisters. I can remember that very well."
Another sentence Liam said in this interview and I really, really love is :
"I seek joy wherever I can  ... for example by admiring the blooming flowers in my garden. When the daffodils start to poke their heads out of the ground in. That is great"! I can imagine this joy , dear Liam

The Day the Music Died

My little series about Liam Neeson is growing and is being read with pleasure by my followers on Instagram and Facebook. I am very pleased that the fans are enjoying this little series, which already has almost 200 parts.  Yes, I am proud of this little work because it proved to myself that I am not as stupid and superfluous as many people have told me.  Yesterday I told in my 199th part about how Liam experienced the moment when he heard that John Lennon was shot:  Liam told in September 2017 in an interview how he experienced the death of John Lennon: "I have to say there's a part of me that died when John Lennon was shot, with regards to listening to popular music. I just could not get over it. " "When John Lennon in December 8.1980 was shot, I was on stage with Stephen Rea. We are doing this Brain Freeland play, and we were touring Ireland with it. " "I remember we were playing a week in Dublin and I was sharing a dre...

How I Became a Liam Neeson Fan!

I have been a Steven Spielberg fan since the 1970s. Almost from the very first hour, and I eagerly awaited all of his films.  When Steven Spielberg first talked about making a film about Oskar Schindler around 1990, I was thrilled. Because I had learned a lot about this remarkable person at school.  When the name Liam Neeson was mentioned my first reaction was 'Liam who?'  I had never heard of this, what was the name, Liam Neeson... and believe me, it was the early 1990s. A completely different decade... No, a completely different century. No internet where you could quickly look up who this certain Liam Neeson is! You had to wait until some specialist magazine for the cinema world appeared. No matter whether printed in German or English.  This is how the information was obtained at the time!  When the film "Schindler's List" finally came out in 1994, I went to the cinema three times in one week. The first time because it was a Steven Spielberg film ...

What people say about Liam

  I discovered a wonderful interview from 1994 that was conducted with Liam and Natasha during the filming of "Rob Roy" a while ago. I think I even mentioned it here...  The interview also featured some of Liam's associates, with whom he has professional and personal contact. Among those who spoke were directors Steven Spielberg and Michael Apted, a personal collaborator of Liam and a good friend who has been with Liam for over 40 years.  Steven Spielberg said about Liam, " When Liam plays a role he stops being Liam Neeson. " "Behind the scenes or when he comes out of the make-up van, he's completely detached from his personality. He is then Oskar Schindler, he is then fully and completely the character he will play. There is no forward or backward for Liam at the moment. Only this one moment in which he finds,  this is this 'now moment '. That is his way to working. " "When I say 'Action' he immediately...
