@@PANDAPILCH I'd totally understand if this video's dislike numbers were 20% or more compared to the likes. But barely 10 people can represent a raging crowd. You verified this the moment you talked about it.
I forgot briefly that this video is 29min & 48sec long, because I was so caught up in what Al was saying. His voice is very calming, & he's such a deep-thinking, insightful guy. I was hanging on every word.
Referhing to hear from a women's perspective that's not all about gushing over his dreamy eyes or what-have-you. A shame, really. Seems they totally miss his depth, razor sharp and highly uinque acting abilities He's truly an underrated National Treasure. When anyone mentions a top ten actor of the top of their head for some reason his name doesn't seem to come up. More often it's Brando, Denero, James Dean, John Wayne, or whomever. Pacino so very much deserves a spot in that list as much as anyone. HIGHLY gifted, unique, and yes sexy. Even now. Rant over. :-)
The intelligence shines through his radiating persona asit does in his movies, and in his plays. Behind the uniquely gravelly voice, and the hollow cheeks, and the deep-et, bright eyes, there is a wonderful wordsmith at work. LIntening to Al Pacino is as engaging as seeing him, in the flesh or on celluloid - and good grief, he speaks in complete sentences most of the time -- last of the greatest of acting Masters pas de doute. And now that you have been mesmerised by this interview, go and see The HUmbling, again, and again, and then once more.
i have only just started seeing his interviews after seeing scarface on tv again after so long. always loved heat, scent of a woman, insomnia and more. he seems so down to earth, approachable, humble and kind. thank you Sir.
I can't remember who it was that said this, but someone once said, that many of the older actors or artists stop searching at one point in time and thats the moment where their work loses most of its appeal. The person went on to say that Al Pacino is one of the people who has never stopped searching. This really resonates in this interview!
Ok first: someone give this interviewer a beer because he did an absolutely fantastic job; listened intently without interrupting and asked questions the were interesting both for Al to answer and for the audience to hear about. Now, as for Al Pacino, I’ve been slowly working through his filmography since February and gee! What a rollercoaster! Last movies I saw were The Humbling and Manglehorn and though I thought the last one was better (and personally more satisfying) as a whole, both are difficult movies that not many actors, let alone Hollywood stars, would consider to play. They are not meant to break box office records or to propose an specially original way of making movies. They are just about human nature, specially when age has changed you, for better or worse. It’s great to admire someone who shines with intelligence, passion for his art and good humor.
Pacino has been my creative idol throughout my life, and remains my #1 dream interview. I haven't had any luck getting him yet. But congrats to you on getting him, and doing such great work in the interview!
Al Pacino is one of the person who belongs to special type of people, who with age don’t lose any drop of their charisma but even multiple it. Just admiring!
At times I have no idea what he's talking about. But that's because he knows so much about acting and he has so much experience and has probably spent long hours thinking about this stuff that he's gotten so deep into the subject that I'm guessing most people would feel a little left behind whilst listening to him talk.
Aww Al" You look great for your age and still handsome as ever. I feel like Ive known him for years as much as I've been watching him. Such a good person. . God bless you 🥰
I absolutely love this man. His charm, charisma,intensity make him the actor he is today. His shyness and humility touches me. I'm mesmerized by him, especially when he is on screen
Great interview as always. I love Al, down to earth, humble and so funny. He doesn't look like hes 74 there, looks younger. Please, do a new interview with him
I love his interviews because it never feels like he’s being interviewed. It’s as if he just sits and has these wonderful conversations with people, where he happens to have very poignantly, intelligently, and eloquently answered questions.
He is and always will be my favorite actor. Pacino is the best actor ever. I watched all his movies. I love to watch his interviews. He is amazing. I love his characters... I love him.
Yea same here man! But gotta keep pushing and hang in there! We just gotta use this time to learn from then to know how o better tackle the next opportunity. Which school btw if you don't mind me asking
Thank you for this wonderful interview. Al seems so earnest, truthful, well-spoken, and open to sharing his process. He is as mesmerizing an inteviewee as he is an actor. And his eyes, oh my goodness, his eyes...so riveting and expressive and they emotionally draw the viewer right in. Loved this interview so much, thank you!
Great interview. You could tell he was in his defensive "Al, Pacino, Movie Star Interview" mode at the beginning but you did a great job of drawing him out and engaging him.
Pacino I love u. I agree with u so much when you say it's private. I am a songwriter and rapper and I love my art and craft. Before anyone hears the final product or will even see me in the studio I am rehearsing over and over, rewriting lyrics, etc etc. I want to know the material so when I am under the light I am free and can just pour out
Camera acting, for me, is much more difficult and far less fun that live performance acting. For me, growing up, acting was great fun because it was all performance - you get an interplay between the audience and the actors - it is a shared experience that is generally very pleasant for all. In camera acting, the people who are or get really good at it - they have to draw all of that energy from deep within themselves. The few people on set when filming aren't there to admire your performance or even enjoy it. They are there to record it and it becomes almost antiseptic and sterile, for me. Pacino is quite right about having to work to bring yourself inline with a character. Gary Oldman, another of my favorites, said the same thing. He speaks of how much work it takes to get really good, how much practice one must devote to develop their chops. He spent hours and hours every day practicing and working on his craft while others were out having a social life. It definitely has shown up in his work. Tom Hardy has a similar discipline. These are the actors who, with their individual style and talent combined with the fruits of their discipline, can absorb US into their world and we forget who we are for a couple of hours. Isn't escaping ourselves what "theater" is all about?
"We can make choices - we can regenerate everything. I (as we) just need honest support. I.e. other(s) when you pronounce the word anemi- it seems as the army of supporters - for galaxy car-plane-aircraft (other solar systems stuff) travelings"...I hope to see you soon mr Al
Deaest Al, you sound like Marlon or Burton in that suit, when they tried to convinced audience to stop loving them. But the audience has been loving them even more. Despite their fame, I remain Sean Coneri film-addicted - and, as jews people could say, a little bit scaried of Spilberg S. movies. Eg. "ET" was really my favorite, but "Jurisyic park" was kind of fiering me (fierce). I love "dinoco" and dinosouers planets - hence, Simeone is great and I really, really adore your spirit in that movie.
If I have an opportunity - I would like to present (as a gift) to Mr Al Pacino my Book (I have a few of them-like novels or scripts)- - no necessary to read or to do something with it or them - just to give the present - and to shake hands. In the meantime - Thank You for all great moments and times we spend with you and we will in the coming period
Al did you get someone to hit you up in about 20 minutes? Right about 21 minutes it gives a break and certain level of coolness how you handled the call. " Sorry about this" Just trying to think like you would
To do what Al achieved ,ones self has to really want it!, Obviously Al has something in him that projects talent. But it takes hard work in developing the skill. I thought at 20 yrs young that this was something I wanted. I enrolled in HB studio on bank st in Greenwich village. I improvised what Michael Beckett asked of us. I think without having to memorize a script I actually shined.Over night I had to develop this Character. An angry husband of a deceitful wife. For many years I struggled very confused as to , did I make the correct decision. I would say as of 15 years ago,I now can say I no longer am struggling. I enjoy my privacy and realize that life style is not for me being so erratic.
Man can you ever go on a video with more than 1000 views that doesn't have at least one dislike.. why do people feel the need, just don't watch the video
