I will never forgive the Oscars for robbing Fiennes and Nesson for best actor and supporting actor from Schindler’s List.

[@jasnazivkovic613]

I agree! Great injustice! Oscars are awarded according to strange rules!

[@conallen1]

The actor category was tough, tbh I think Fiennes deserved the Oscar he delivered a better performance than Tommy Lee Jones...but for actor? Tom Hanks did as brilliant a performance in Philadelphia. At least it won best film that year :)

[@jasnazivkovic613]

@Dean Bennington Because of the theme of the film - I agree!

[@conallen1]

@Dean Bennington that's why it's called an "opinion" or preference. Hanks performance was brilliant playing a man dying of AIDS, far better than whimsical Forrest Gump but remember just because I prefer his performance over Neeson doesn't make his work any less valid or "brilliant" as well. It was a tough year with many strong performances. Far different than by today's standards.

[@tonymontana4284]

The Oscars is a popularity contest.

[@muttleysmith726]

There is something hauntingly beautiful in this man's eyes... Just love his eyes.

[@Serai3]

His eyes really are extraordinary. When he first got famous, there were portrait photos in the magazines that emphasized his eyes - a really strange color combination, mostly teal, with a ring of black at the edges and a ring of gold in the center surrounding the iris. I've never seen eyes like that anywhere else. They're fully as unique as Elizabeth Taylor's famously violet eyes.

[@ronnie_5150]

Steven Spielberg actually said he picked Fiennes for the role because he had a "sexy evilness" about him.

[@Serai3]

@@ronnie_5150 And then right after this he went and starred in "Strange Days", playing a completely different character. It was amazing.

[@lisannelups9236]

Hes just very British.

We are looking at one of the greatest actors in the world. Ralph Fiennes is certainly on the level of Sir Laurence Olivier.

[@arriuscalpurniuspiso]

He was just as good as Marlon Brando. So was Liam Neeson

[@TheManorBeast]

The minute Ralph responds by not just giving the interviewer and the world the response they wanted (göeth was insane etc) but to go in depth about how power corrupts the mind, the interview took on the same power the film had Horrific ugly truth

[@cherylhulting1301]

Yes. Ralph once said that he went back to Hannah Arendt's philosophical writings on the banality of evil for inspiration.

[@jonathanbirch2022]

The truth is that this “grey zone” exists inside every human being where the standard dichotomy of good and evil breaks down, and average people find it incredibly easy to simply go along with or commit genocide

[@johndavis7094]

Wonderful warm human beings. Ralph Fiennes couldn't be farther from Amon Goeth. Fantastic actor! A very warm and approachable guy! Hats off to the whole cast!

[@charlesmartella]

The way she looked at him then looked away at the 30 second mark. Embeth Davidtz oozes sheer beauty.

[@detectivefiction3701]

Very interesting discussion of a remarkable movie. I always love seeing Ralph Fiennes in his youthful prime. He has the most stunning turquoise colored eyes.

[@dominettavisconti2812]

Absolutely true. You get lost....

[@brianmallen8887]

There's something about the interview woman, no disrespect to the two actors but it's like I want to hear her talk more than them. Her questions and comments, she's brilliant- so concise, no rambling. No ass-kissing either. That said, there are no words to describe Ray Finnes performance in Schindler's list.

[@detectivefiction3701]

Something else I notice is that it sounds as though Fiennes was still "doing" Goeth's Austrian accent in this interview. Like Fiennes had affected that accent for so many months while filming that it had begun to seep into his actual voice.

[@chairmanalf7856]

[@sallywhite7678]

I love Ralph Fiennes! So so talented! I have only seen “shorts” of this movie on YT. I’m wondering, has anyone ever noticed in some movies, not all, the evil person is always played by a handsome actor? No matter how much the make up department tries to “dirty the actor up”, they just can’t!🫢❤️🐈

Neeson and Fiennes delivered such powerful performances. Since I first saw this movie (3X) in 1994, I have said many times it is the best movie ever made. Here we are almost 30 years later and I still say that.

[@EdjeMr1975]

Why everyone keeps saying that ..i think its becouse he looks psycho

Ralph is the only actor to give a performance so good he couldn't win an Oscar

Excuse me sir, but I beg to differ!

[@artsoundsgreatASMR]

Ralph has such a calming voice here i finally realized who he reminds me of in mannerisms, young Morrissey.

[@mayorofsimpleton5674]

That’s it! Thank you. Although I must say, Mr Fiennes is quite a lot more agreeable, though morrissey does still crack me up.

[@stefanopicceni8738]

Ralph deserved not one but ten Oscar, one of the most expressive and appalling performance in movie's history!!

[@DJP-ph7yj]

The bit that is Oscar worthy, (dunno who beat him to it - but shouldn't have) is his whole delving into and the utter believability of the role. How is someone to portray the depraved megalomaniac that he portrayed so honestly, with the ghastly sense of fear he put into the role??.

[@johnbarrett4846]

Embeth is a great actress and her performance alongside Robin Williams in Bicentenial Man made me cry and still does.

[@AA-yc9dq]

That was first movie to ever make me cry, I was 12.

[@phillaw7952]

What Embeth said about Goeth being sexually attracted to Helen came through clearly in the film. But as she said, he could not see her as a woman because she was a Jew.

As brilliant as Schindler's List is, Ralph Fiennes gives one of the best acting jobs I have ever seen anywhere as that Nazi.

It's interesting to me that when Fiennes describes the dehumanisation of the Jewish race by the nazi regime, he is describing perfectly how the British treated the Irish. Our hands aren't clean - and yes, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[@ParisHoney1998]

It’s a method used to oppress so many, even today. The Jewish, the Irish, Africans, Native Americans, Asian people - I’m sure I’m forgetting many. I think it’s a method created (or at least perfected) by White Supremacy. This idea that there’s only one way to be perfect (White), to the point it even oppressed other White/European people. He described it well, I agree.

[@jonathanbirch2022]

Europeans used the same eugenics policies of describing black Africans as racially inferior due to skull size and shape. Belgians used it in Rwanda which eventually cause a split between the ethnic groups there and the genocide in the 90s

[@gorankopcic7827]

Top 6 actor performances in a history (for me, at least): 1. Al Pacino - Tony Montana, Scarface 2. Ralph Fiennes - Amon Goeth, Schindler's list 3. Peter Ustinov - Nero, Quo vadis 4. Gary Oldman - Stansfield, Leon 5. Sean Penn - Kleinfeld, Carlito's way 6. Gary Oldman - Dracula, Bram Stoker's Dracula
