It was great to come home again


It's been 14 days since I last wrote something here. The last two weeks have been like a rollercoaster of emotions. My depression had me completely under control. On the better day, I wrote in my Facebook group and my Instagram page in my series about Liam, and that gave me better thoughts for a short time. But I didn't have the energy for my blog, even though I read and collected so many beautiful stories about Liam. Yesterday I found a nice article in an Irish newspaper in which Liam talked about the filming of "In The Land of Saints and Sinners" and I thought that would be a nice story for my blog:
The theme of the movie moved me. With 'In the Land of Saints and Sinners' I was able to share my experiences growing up during the Northern Ireland conflict. I was surrounded by violence back then. I never took part in this violence, but it was everywhere. The story of the film takes place during this conflict in the 1970s. That's why it was very interesting for me to play in "In The Land of Saints and Sinners", said Liam about the shoot and praised the shooting style of director Robert Lorenz, " It was a wonderful collaboration with Robert. It was a really good script that we worked with and I looked forward to it every day when we went to the set and shot new scenes. But what I particularly enjoyed was being able to work with so many fellow Irish actors. I have known many of them for many years . Colm Meaney, for example, I have known him for 40 years now. We used to play theatre together a few times in Ireland. And my dear friend Ciarán Hinds, of course. Or with Kerry Condon. She is a great strong actress and has a great sense of humor. 
It was really nice and pleasant to be back in front of the camera with so many Irish colleagues and to be able to indulge in being Irish again. Yes, and of course the beautiful scenery of county Donegal. Where we were shooting the movie."
In October 2021 it was announced that Liam would star in the Irish-set thriller "In The Land of Saints and Sinners", and that he would once again be working with director Robert Lorenz. Liam and Lorenz had already successfully worked together on the 2021 movie "The Marksman". Liam's longtime friend Ciarán Hinds was also announced as one of the leading actors during the same time. Hinds took on the character of Vinnie O'Shea. In April 2022, it was announced that Irish actress Kerry Condon would also be joining the cast of the film and took on the character of Doireann McCann. The main filming took place in County Donegal. Additional filming took place in Dublin.
"In the Land of Saints and Sinners" celebrated its World premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 6.2023. Due to the actors strikes that took place at the same time, Liam was unable to attend the premiere.

 Maidin mhaith a stór Liam, guím lá iontach síochánta oraibh agus tá súil agam go mbeidh cupán tae ag an mbeirt againn le chéile go luath. 
Tabhair aire mhaith duit féin agus fan sláintiúil.  
Bhí mo bhreithlá ar an séú Iúil. Lá nach ndéanaim ceiliúradh air mar níor thug sé ach drochrudaí dom. Níl aon mhianta beagnach agam. Uair an chloig leat, le cupán tae, bheadh sé sin an bronntanas is fearr dom agus go bhfanfaidh tú sláintiúil.    
Go raibh maith agat as na chuimhneacháin áille a thugann tú dom, as an iliomad nóiméad ina gcuidíonn tú liom éalú ó mo smaointe diúltacha.  Cuidíonn tú go mór liom i ngan fhios dom é.  Go raibh míle maith agat . 
 ❤️🇮🇪🍀💚🤍🧡

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

Bild
  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...
