Vito - Michael - Vincent
かの名作のドキュメンタリーを最近よく観る。コッポラ、パチーノのインタビューが面白い。パチーノはほとんどクビにされかかっていたらしい。監督のコッポラだけがマイケル・コルレオーネ役には彼しかいないと信じてくれたのだと。そのあとは歴史が教えてくれる。
コッポラにもパチーノにも拍手。
フレドー。わかるかな。ソニーとマイケルの間に挟まれてる次男。ジョン・カゼイルって役者が演じてる。ディア・ハンターとか狼たちの午後とかでもすごくいい味出してる。盟友のパチーノ曰く、ジョンのあだ名は「百万個の質問をする俳優」だそうだ。そうやって役を深めてあの名演を生み出した。
I KNEW IT WAS YOU というジョン・カゼイルの役者人生を追ったドキュメンタリーがあります。俳優にはぜひ観てほしい。ジョンは早逝で、もうこの世にはいない。でもいまハリウッドのレジェンドになってる俳優たちが生き証人として今でもジョンの才能を熱く語っています。
ドキュメンタリー『I KNEW IT WAS YOU』のトレイラーはこちら。

There is no Vincent if no Sonny, Fredo and Michael.
There is no Sonny, Fredo and Michael if no Vito.
There is no Vito if no Antonio.

Did you notice that my character “Toshi” was Zainichi too in the movie “The Ramen Girl”? Originally Toshi was Japanese, but the director and the writer and I talked about and changed into Zainichi character. #TheRamenGirl #Zainichi #在日の表象
There were some voices from the creative team of The Ramen Girl saying “Why is Korean actor playing the love interest of Brittany in this movie? We should’ve hire a Japanese actor!”
So, the director and the writer really knew me and what zainichi is. They said “Okay! Then let’s just change the character into Zainichi!” Then, my character being Zainichi even became a key to a romance between Brittany’s character and mine. The story got more interesting.
