Hollywood actor, winner of the Golden Globe Award, winner of the Venice Film Festival and nominee for the Oscar, Liam Neeson continues to inspire viewers with his new works and brilliant play. World fame to the actor brought a role in the cult picture "Schindler's List", and after the overwhelming success followed by other characters in the exciting genres of modern cinema. Today, Niso is 65 years old, and it seems that age does not affect his performance at all. He is still full of energy, ready to save people and stand up for the weak.
"Remember the consequences"
In one of his latest works, the thriller "Passenger", from the hero Liam Neeson, human lives again depend. The actor himself is serious about the life choice and recognizes that all human actions have their consequences:
"Looking at the hero in the" Passenger ", we involuntarily think about what the person is ready to go to save his family. My hero lost his job and does not know how to tell his wife about this. He has financial difficulties, and suddenly there is an opportunity to earn extra money. But what can this turn out for the hero and his family? The plot unfolds with increasing tension, and the picture turns into a psychological thriller. It reveals very deep and important topics, the viewer watches the choice of the protagonist, his psychological experience, which subsequently leads to the "domino effect" or "butterfly effect", when one event or act can trigger a series of phenomena on the other end of the planet. In the life of every person comes a period when his actions lead to serious consequences. We must remember this and know that every detail is important, even the most seemingly insignificant. "
"Painstaking work"
Filming took place in a suburb of London, and the plot takes place in the vicinity of New York. Liam said that the crew had done a lot of hard work to recreate the smallest details of the location:
"The action takes place in the same train, on the route which I had to travel more than a dozen times in my life. My house in New York is just in this direction. And given that the shooting took place in England, it was amazing how accurately the team recreated the situation. I recognized all the stations without the slightest effort. And even the hamburger wrappers lying around in the garbage cans were American. Everything was very harmonious. With director Jaume Collet-Serra, I'm working not for the first time. We understand each other with a half-word. Together we discuss scenes and analyze the plot. Jaume has a wonderful intuition, he studies every detail and does not miss anything. Separately it is necessary to note the operator's work. It is very difficult to shoot a train in a car. In general, the whole team worked perfectly. In the process of such complex filming, you understand that we are improving day by day, and our professionalism is growing. So, soon we will be able to easily take pictures even inside the cabinet. "
"The main thing is to stay alive"
By his age Liam Neeson is easily and often says that he feels himself a couple of decades younger. Compliments about his beautiful physical form the actor takes with a philosophical attitude, and admits that, despite the already established role of "tough guy", never in his life did not fight:
"I did not support fights, and I did not fight either on the street or in bars. Maybe it's all about boxing, which I've been fond of since my early years. Getting involved in any alteration, you need to understand what it can lead to. Perhaps your opponent has a weapon, and he will apply it. Then no professional skills can not save. Masters of different martial arts taught me in due course how to behave in such situations: at the first signs of approaching danger, find the path of retreat and leave. Here the principle operates - be a coward, but stay alive. This is what many experienced people know in this sense. By the way, I bring up my sons on the same principle. "

"I'm ready"
Neeson said that the cardinal transition from the "Schindler's List", which brought him world fame, to numerous brilliant roles in the films of the action genre, he owed a happy accident and his own initiative:
"In Shanghai, at the film festival, where my wife represented her film, I met Besson. The "Hostage" scenario was then ready. I read it, became very interested and went myself to Besson with a proposal of his candidacy for the main role. I remember, I then said: "Of course, you might not have considered me as the main character, but given my boxing past and excellent physical shape, I think I can cope with all the complicated tricks. In general, it's up to you to decide, but if anything, I'm ready! "And after a while he called and we started shooting. Honestly, I did not think that the picture would have such a stunning success and, as time showed, was very wrong. "
