This guy did some incredible stuff. A credit to humanity.

Oh Marcel, wonderful performer. I've seen many popular bands, pop groups, performers etc. But seeing Marcel live was the most emotional, amazing performance I've ever seen in my life, breathtaking. I will always hold his performance in my memory and heart forever ❤️

It seems ironic that perhaps the world's most famous mime artist speaks so fluently in a foreign language Blessings and peace to everyone whatever method we use to communicate with each other.

Learn this man’s history. He was important in the French resistance in WWII. He saved thousands of Jewish children by leading them over the Alps to safety in Switzerland. He isn’t just a mime. His art has an incredible depth born of his remarkable life.

Or in the realm of comedy, he has the only spoken line in Mel Brook's "Silent Movie."

Just watched "Resistance" for the second time. What a hero! I was on a first date at Wake Forest and he came into the audience and gave my date a broom to sweep. Of course I laughed. He looked at me astonished and took me up to the stage. he made me hold a monster earth and face away from the audience. When I got bored and turned to watch him, he whacked me on the head! It warms my heart to have "met" such an incredible human being such as Marcel Marceau. If you haven't watched the movie, you don't know what an amazing person he was. He saved the lives of hundreds of young Jewish children.

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live on two occasions. Fantastic!

I also had this chance. It was in 1975 or 1976, in Besançon (France).

I remember watching him on TV when I was a kid. His performance got stuck so deep and I can't understand why. I payed attention to many other french artist and movies and so on because of Marcel Marceau. What a beautiful person.

Learn his history. He is far more than an artist. He is a hero from WWII in the French resistance. He saved thousands of children. His father died in Auschwitz in 1945.

So tragic. :(

Qué maravillosa visión lo expresado por Marceau! Gracias!!!

great artist ...

One of my favorite interviews of all time. Thanks for your years of dedication, Jim.

Such an amazing creative art! Such a unique way of expression.

Beautiful. Lovely view on art and life :)

Truly unintentional asmr. I'm not into mime but I enjoy this interview.

Thank you SOO Much for sharing this.

Marcel is the one and only

He also inspired Michael Jackson as the real creator of Moonwalk through his "Upwind walk" (i.e. marche contre le vent, in french).

Respect!

So many of the greats in comedy, acting and dance, had mime in their skill set, and background. Charlie Chaplin, Dick Van Dyke, Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, Robin Williams, Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, yet we never see it anymore on television. Everyone wants the great joke, the best line, the sitcom script. Nobody creates character, plot, and atmosphere with their bodies, limbs and face for our entertainment.

Marcel has touched the common denominator of background Silence of the Universe in Art that mime can be : threading and joining the dots with the thrust of his life, art and creative style (and I am delighted to know the martial art of fencing …) the need for (wo-)mankind to appreciate the poetry of movement that ABANDONING THE USE OF WORDS ( as we do in taiji ☯️ often realized as meditation in movements) we and Marcel in mime TREASURE the BALANCE between YIN & YANG [ mentioned many times by both. in this interview : note 3 …Trinity … of intimate, willing abandonment of all else to see the central recreation of life common to all primary groups … and in humans - good families ….by nature …promoting win-win openings to even healthy sensuality of appropriate intimacy that contradicts the human degradation of pornography ⋯ some of the marvellous great concepts embraced in this interview]

He’s like a Fred Armisen character.

Superb, though I feel the dark side he talks about is now winning.

Very interesting. What an amazing artist! I don't get his hair, though----almost looks like it is long and wrapped around his head in some way (not important---I know. Sorry).

and he claimed not to make his art analytical.
