Superbowl vs Pacino RC, February 4, 2008 Ontem foi disputada a Superbowl nos EUA, e só o nome da competição me faz recordar um daqueles filmes que está na lista dos mais subvalorizados pela crítica. Em “Any Given Sunday” (Oliver Stone, 1999), Al Pacino acrescenta ao seu vastíssimo currículo mais uma grande cena. Tony D’Amato: I don’t know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we’re gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we’re finished. We’re in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell… one inch at a time. Now I can’t do it for ya, I’m too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I’ve made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I’ve pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me. And lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that’s… that’s… that’s a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losin’ stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game – life or football – the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I’ll tell you this, in any fight it’s the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I’m gonna have any life anymore it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that’s what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can’t make you do it. You’ve got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That’s a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That’s football guys, that’s all it is. Now, what are you gonna do? Notícias Opinião Memórias
Sou um forte apreciador deste ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, mas suspeito: qualquer filme em que Al Pacino entre OU realizado por Oliver Stone conjuga sempre bem com o meu gosto cinematográfico… Cumps cinéfilos. Reply
Se é esse o critério então também sou suspeito. Na maioria das vezes qualquer um deles dá-me garantias de um bom filme.Este “Any Given Sunday” é um dos meus filmes de desporto preferidos e, inspirado por este artigo, desconfio que o vou rever muito brevemente. Obrigado pela visita e pelo comentário Sam. Reply
Pois, também concordava com isso, mas agora já tenho algumas dúvidas a colocar o Stone na equação, é que o Alexander ficou uns bons furos abaixo do esperado, mas sim… este Um Domingo Qualquer é um bom filme… e também já tinha falado desta cena no meu blog…http://fightclub77.blogspot.com/ Reply
