Tragic death of ein Hackman at 95 On February 26, 2025, he shocked the world, while reminding many films that he was one of the best actors in his generation. Actually, you can make an argument that Hackman was the best actor everBoth his award for two academies won for "French Relationship" (1971) and "Unlawful" (1991) - among his three other nominations for "Bonnie and Clide" (1968), "I never sang for my father" (1970) and "Gorenje Mississippi" (1988) - I supported that kind of conversation. But what did Hackman think about his work and what he considered his favorite role? The answer may not be what you think.

In an interview in 1988 with Movie likeHackman was asked who his favorite movie from his own work. Based on the power of his own performance, the selection of the actor was iousubopitic: Jerry Shatsberg's "Laws" (1973), the road to the road, where Hackman and Al Pacino play Max and Leo, an unusual pair of troubled friends who decide to travel from California to Detroit together. The reason for Hackman's choice was linked to the process of making this special film:

“Yes, 'A scared '. It's the only movie I've ever made in an absolute continuity, and that has allowed me to take all the chances and really build my character. "

While Hackman was happy to name him "scare" as a personal favorite, he is also well acquainted with his more famous roles and their more widely respected role in his film. In an interview in 1989 with Theujork TimesHe considered his entire best role to be the insecure expert on wiretapping Harry Kaul in Francis Ford Coppola's "conversation" (1974), which is probably The movie about the best gene hackman ever. He appreciates the character because of the minimalist approach seeking his role:

"This was the highlight of my acting career in terms of character development. Kaul was a little constipation. The character did not break out. There was no satisfactory catharic moment in the movie. "

Although this reception confirms that Hackman has clearly retained his successful and tinted roles of big profiles near the heart, there is a reason why he had really surprising roles and scenes in greater respect than the average Moviegoer would ever doubt. In an interview with the film's comments, the actor cited some of his favorite movie moments of Genein Hackman - which differ significantly from the average list of Hackman fans, simply because he knows what is needed to craft them and how they came out of his point of view:

"The actors have moments in films less commercially successful they love. I had a scene with Candice Bergen in ''Zalay the bullet ' Which is one of my favorites. I was telling them about my ex -wife while standing around the water in the middle of the desert. I played it on horses. I think some of my best things were in ''French connection, part Ii ' - The withdrawal scene. I saw a lot of drug addiction films and withdrawal and chose a specific pain for myself. "
