I sat down with the then-30-year-old Ralph Fiennes for the 1993 press tour for "Schindler's List."

Scandal. He played one of the most significant roles in cinema history & for what we know of that monster, the real Amon, he played it very well. It was also terrifying. Especially the scene with the engineer, who wants to correct the building mistake & he has her killed. He was credited for saving Mr. Schindlers life when he said he was a magnet for females, this this indirectly allowed him to continue his work at saving the people, as well as being an income for Goeth. They should revisit Academy awards every 10 years, when an injustice is done, they should correct it.

It's an interesting point that you made here, not because Ralph wasn't deserving, but because of the point of view that none other than Liam Neeson delivered to Mr. Fiennes after he'd not been selected by the Academy. I was reading an interview with Neeson in an issue of GQ magazine, which was released not long after "Schindler's List" had been showing in theatres. In it, Liam recalls having been present at the Awards, and having met up with Ralph just after the ceremony. Basically, he put his arm around the younger actor and said something like "Ralph, I think it's great that you were nominated, and it's wonderful that you didn't win; had you walked away with the award this evening, they (Hollywood, etc.) would've hung Amon Goeth around your neck like an albatross!" I never forgot that sort of "make lemonade from lemons" advice from Mr. Neeson, who's now arguably a bigger star than thirty years ago.

Fiennes talks about how there was no apprehension about him in costume and character from the rest of the cast. However, Mila Pfefferberg, a survivor who had known the real Goeth, reportedly did visit the "Schindler's List" set and when she saw Fiennes in character, she trembled in fear. Not surprising considering the horrors she witnessed and feared would happen to her.

There was this woman on the filming set, a former concentration camp inmate who had seen in the past the real Amon Göth in action. A survivor, after so many years, she remembered the moment she saw the main villain on the filming set - she did not see Fiennes; She only saw Amon Göth, and could smell the evil incarnate. This poor woman was on the brink of hysteria, only because Fiennes' embodiment of Göth was nothing short of perfect. How horrifying... This only proves Fiennes' acting genious, no matter if he got an Oscar or not.

""In reflecting on his decision to play Amon Göth, Fiennes has referred to it as a "no-brainer." The actor recalls, "I think there are moments you're lucky to have as an actor when you're asked to be part of something that feels like it's going to be quite momentous. I didn't even say yes. I didn't even need to say yes -- it was a given." Fiennes has also been on the record regarding the challenges inherent in bringing such a heinous man to life on-screen. Regarding the extensive research he undertook, as well as the process of physically transforming himself into a hateful glutton, the actor has stated, "I think there was a price to pay for this one. When you're investigating behavior that is that negative so intensely for three months, then you feel sort of peculiar because you might have at moments enjoyed it and at the same time you feel slightly soiled by it. It just throws up all kinds of question marks, about acting, about human behavior, about how all of that is probably a lot closer to the surface than we like to think."""

In 1979 I worked on the Holocaust movie”Playing for Time”. I was part of the wardrobe department and played an SS guard when a bit more realism was needed. I can say that those playing inmates did distance themselves from us after we and they had been in costume for a bit. It’s probably psychological that when focused on one’s role you take on some attributes of that role as part of the acting method. A result is that one tends to gravitate towards others in similar roles. We, the guards, would get dirty looks from the inmate actors, or so we thought at the time.

Scandal. He played one of the most significant roles in cinema history & for what we know of that monster, the real Amon, he played it very well. It was also terrifying. Especially the scene with the engineer, who wants to correct the building mistake & he has her killed. He was credited for saving Mr. Schindlers life when he said he was a magnet for females, this this indirectly allowed him to continue his work at saving the people, as well as being an income for Goeth. They should revisit Academy awards every 10 years, when an injustice is done, they should correct it.

It's an interesting point that you made here, not because Ralph wasn't deserving, but because of the point of view that none other than Liam Neeson delivered to Mr. Fiennes after he'd not been selected by the Academy. I was reading an interview with Neeson in an issue of GQ magazine, which was released not long after "Schindler's List" had been showing in theatres. In it, Liam recalls having been present at the Awards, and having met up with Ralph just after the ceremony. Basically, he put his arm around the younger actor and said something like "Ralph, I think it's great that you were nominated, and it's wonderful that you didn't win; had you walked away with the award this evening, they (Hollywood, etc.) would've hung Amon Goeth around your neck like an albatross!" I never forgot that sort of "make lemonade from lemons" advice from Mr. Neeson, who's now arguably a bigger star than thirty years ago.
At least Fiennes is honest about how the costume made him feel.

Fiennes talks about how there was no apprehension about him in costume and character from the rest of the cast. However, Mila Pfefferberg, a survivor who had known the real Goeth, reportedly did visit the "Schindler's List" set and when she saw Fiennes in character, she trembled in fear. Not surprising considering the horrors she witnessed and feared would happen to her.

His acting was very real & scary. Therefore, his acting was absolutely superb.
For me, I've seen them all, Olivier, Richardson, Howard, Gielgud, Ralph's performance as Amon Goethe completely wipes the stage and floor as a truly brilliant and accurate portrayal of a ruthless and psychotic megalomaniac.

When he came on screen, my stomach would literally turn before he said a word. That is greatness.
There was this woman on the filming set, a former concentration camp inmate who had seen in the past the real Amon Göth in action. A survivor, after so many years, she remembered the moment she saw the main villain on the filming set - she did not see Fiennes; She only saw Amon Göth, and could smell the evil incarnate. This poor woman was on the brink of hysteria, only because Fiennes' embodiment of Göth was nothing short of perfect. How horrifying... This only proves Fiennes' acting genious, no matter if he got an Oscar or not.

Still scares the hell out of me when I watch him in that SS uniform what a actor second only to Tommy lee jones lol 😂
oh my goodness, he's so handsome and charming in interview that its as if you're just comfortably speaking to someone you'd like to get to know better because you're so drawn into his energy
You were just fantastic!
In 1979 I worked on the Holocaust movie”Playing for Time”. I was part of the wardrobe department and played an SS guard when a bit more realism was needed. I can say that those playing inmates did distance themselves from us after we and they had been in costume for a bit. It’s probably psychological that when focused on one’s role you take on some attributes of that role as part of the acting method. A result is that one tends to gravitate towards others in similar roles. We, the guards, would get dirty looks from the inmate actors, or so we thought at the time.
After watching this movie I desticley was overwhelmed with the acting by Ralph Fiennes definitely should av been an Oscar one of the best ever thank you😊😊
Ralph was apparently 31, here. How many 31 year-old actors today would be this well-spoken and captivating to listen to? Hell, even when he's unsure of what to say, he can't help but use a facial expression that makes you sit up and pay attention.
“Chilling” is what I thought when I first saw him in character. But I also thought “He’s got this.”💜
So handsome!
The Interview Decorations and Fiennes Outfit screams 90ties, you realize how much Time has gone by....the Movie itself looks timeless , could be from this Year.
