Liam und Michael Collins

I think every fan knows that Michael Collins is one of Liam's role models. 
For me personally, at school, Michael Collins was just a small episode in history class. 
Yesterday I was looking for a little informative story for my own little series about Liam, called One Photo, One Story, and found an interview from 1996 that was republished in 2022 to mark the 100th anniversary of Michael Collins' death. A beautiful, honest and worth reading interview that Liam gave to a British newspaper and shows how much knowl.edge this man has. 
In one segment, Liam talked about what it was like hearing about De Valera and Michael Collins as a young boy :
"My mother was born and crew up in Waterford, a city in the south of Ireland, which is also known as the oldest city of Ireland. My grandmother was a devotee of Dev (who was played in the movie by Alan Rickman). As a young boy I often heard the names De Valeria and Collins promounced. Alway in a hushed voice and with a hand in frond of their mouth. I can still remember how the relatives talking like that. When they talked about Collins and De Valera, I had the feeling that they were in the next room or lived in the house next door ", told Liam in a 1996 interview to the movie "Michael Collins " ,and continued," To this day, they are still spoken of passionately in parts of Ireland ...'Collins, oh, he was a traitor. Dev, oh, he didn't do this'. The sign-post to Michael Collins birthplace is occasionally still graffitied over. So there's still that thing. Anything,  that would kind of explain the hushed tones. I only started to take on interest in Irish history when I was 18 or 19 years of age. Only then did I understand the connections and the historical background of Collins and De Valera."
A nice and interesting section in the interview, as are the other sections, which are very pleasant to read.

A Liam, a chara, bhain mé an-taitneamh as an agallamh seo a léamh. Is breá liom i gcónaí agallaimh a léamh uait. Cuireann sé mo chuid fadhbanna agus imní féin orm.  Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil leat as an oiread sin chuimhneacháin áille a chuir isteach orm. Cé nach bhfuil a fhios agat sin i ndáiríre. Ach an t-am seo ar fad chuir mé isteach i mo chuid oibre agus rinne mé taighde a chuir tú stop orm ó bheith ag déanamh rudaí dúr. Go raibh maith agat, tá sé go deas go bhfuil tú ann.  
Le do thoil, a Liam Neeson, a chara, tabhair aire an-mhaith duit féin agus fan sláintiúil.  
Tá súil agam go dtig linn bualadh le chéile go luath agus cupán tae a bheith againn le chéile. Sin uile is mian liom 
❤️🇮🇪🍀💚🤍🧡

How I Became a Liam Neeson Fan!

Bild
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 an

Natasha about her mother

Bild
When Natasha was asked:" What was it like to see your mother, Vanessa Redgrave, on stage or screen when you were growing up?" Natasha answered:" Well, I didn't see her much on stage, because at that period of her life I don't think she was on stage much. I think it had a profound effect on me. I took it very real, but not only because she's such a great actress, but, you know, when I'd see her as "Isadora" ,you know, died at the end, I'd get doubly upset.  And my mother would say,' no, it's okay, I'm here. ' And I'd say, ' Well,I know you're here, but it's a true story  ,and that really happened and it's upsetting me,.' But I just love, you know, I just loved watching her movies. I loved- I've always been, you know, I could eat movies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I mean, I need them like a drug! And I used to watch always old Judy Garland movies, and Marilyn Monroe movies and Katherine Hepburn

Memory was the first film that I featured on my Liam Neeson fan page. I don't even know how many times I've seen the film. Definitely not as often as "The Marksman" .
