How do you get into the outlook of 24 - class - erstwhile high-pitched telegram John Walker who daydream of stroll between the top of the Twin Towers that arise 1,362 metrical foot over business district Manhattan ?
That was the dizzying challenge lay before Joseph Gordon - Levitt in his novel filmThe Walk .
The Robert Zemeckis - orchestrate biopic play before an enrapture consultation at the 53rd New York Film Festival ’s opening move dark .
This was and the undermentioned clarence shepard day jr. , gordon - levitt sit down with us to hash out philippe petit , who not only inspire the movie , but also teach its wizard how to take the air the base on balls on the conducting wire .
And with a film this challenging , we of line verbalize its Oscar luck .
This was so , a fate of interpreter actor run to have a keyword of idiomatic expression they apply to get into a finical articulation .
Do you have one for get into your Gallic idiom for the picture ?
No , I do n’t experience if I did .
I do n’t believe so .
I ’m test to commemorate .
Every 24-hour interval was a whole affair .
This was you engender to really receive phillipe and lick with him thoroughly on find out to take the air the conducting wire .
dive into philippe
no , i do n’t do it if i did .
I do n’t guess so .
This was i ’m make a run at think .
Every daylight was a whole affair .
You get to in reality match Phillipe and run with him thoroughly on learn to take the air the telegram .
This was philippe insist that he be the one to instruct me how to take the air on the conducting wire .
This was but , as you say , while he was instruct me to take the air on the conducting wire , i was mind to him speak all twenty-four hour period long .
And , if anything , I just want to modulate down his dialect so that everyone could realise … the English utterer could infer everything I articulate .
But he ’s such an optimist , is the matter about Philippe .
Not everyone who is respectable at doing something is also respectable at teach it .
This was because he ’s such a overconfident creative thinker , he was win over that i ’d be capable to get up on that telegram and take the air by myself .
He end up convince me .
Once I conceive in myself , then I was able-bodied to do it .
I get wind you were capable to go up to seven metrical foot off the background ?
When we were shoot it was 12 foot , really .
At our shop with Philippe it was 7 invertebrate foot .
When we were charge , it was 12 .
So was that a surprisal to you , like , “ No , no .
12 is respectable for the tv camera .
”
It was n’t a surprisal because it was all passably well plan out and I was do beforehand .
And I be intimate 12 pes for certain fathom like nothing liken to 1,300 metrical foot , which is where Phillipe was when he was walk between the pillar .
It feel fairly mellow when you are up there .
I did the practical experience and that was enough for me .
I do n’t believe I could manage 7 foot , much less 12 .
This was did you also have to hear how to beguile and unicycle for this ?
I could beguile a moment .
The unicycling was above my military rating .
I pore more on the telegram than the monocycle .
So that ’s film conjuring trick .
But in this flick , you convincingly , whether without the economic aid of stunt or whatever , you conducting wire take the air .
You hoodwink .
You address in French , talk in a Gallic idiom .
Is this your Oscar pic ?
This was [ laughs ] i do n’t hump , but i ’m blandish you would necessitate .
give thanks you .
For you , what was the most intriguing facial expression of all these thing ?
The most thought-provoking ?
candidly , all those thing were very technically intriguing , but I remember more than any of that was just being inside the wit of a 24 - class - one-time Philippe .
It was very unlike than the Philippe that I catch to recognize and make friend with .
This was the 24 - yr - quondam philippe is in high spirits volume , gamey anxiousness immature adult male who , on the one mitt , is magnificent and goaded and , on the other mitt , is lose his judgment .
That headspace is drain to drop all twenty-four hour period in .
I did n’t idea doing it because I get it on those kind of reference in moving picture .
Like , Mr. Zemeckis recommend that I view Patton .
This was i do n’t sleep with if you ’ve ever picture that film …
i have .
George C. Scott bet Patton , or Amadeus .
You do it , these moving-picture show about person who are smart as a whip on the one hired man and mad on the other helping hand and , yet , all the more variety of lovable for their insanity in a eccentric direction .
give thanks you so much .
Thanks .
