Certainly one of the year’s most beautiful films, The Fabelmans is a fascinating and deeply moving X-ray of Steven Spielberg’s childhood, drawing on the intimate wounds and passion of the formidable filmmaker. And, among the film’s highlights is young Sammy Fabelman’s final encounter with an absolute Hollywood legend: John Ford.
One-eyed, equipped with an eye pad, his cap screwed down on his skull and diligently puffing on his big cigar, the director is played in this brilliant sequence by none other than David Lynch, who Spielberg never imagined he could convince to play. .
“At first I don’t know why, but I didn’t want to do it. There was a pandemic and other problems. But Stephen and Laura Dern are friends. Laura asked me to agree. Then Stephen M spoke. I told him that Peter Bogdanovich should do it instead: he knew To John Ford, he would have been perfect, but Stephen replied, “No, no, no. You’re the one to do it, David. – Well, well, well…” Lynch confided in Cahiers du cinéma.
add: “When I accepted the job, I realized that Steven Spielberg was a great guy. I mean: a really good person. I ended up loving working with him, for him. I only shot one day, but it was a lot of fun.”
In An upcoming issue of Empire magazine Featuring a lengthy interview with Lynch, he actually reveals the bargaining chip he got for taking on the role, admittedly brief but memorable: He literally paid for it… in candy! Or rather, as an aperitif biscuit. And this is not a joke.
“A big bag of Cheetos in my dressing room, yes. . I love it. I try to get it when I can. I know it’s not really a health food. So when I can get out of the house and I’m lucky enough to have one… but it’s not that often, honestly.
So when I get something I want a big bag. Because once you start gobbling them up… you’ll eat quite a bit before you slow down and say “stop”. Otherwise, with a small bag, you’re doomed to wander around for days trying to find more. It tastes absolutely amazing.
The verdict is: “The horizon line in the middle is boring” . Cheetos are exciting! “
It seems like a joke, except we remember that we’re talking about David Lynch, the one and only filmmaker. Can do a daily weather report on his Youtube channel. And hence, philosophizing about the virtues of chitose.
