Dustin Hoffman e o Questionário de Proust

Todos conhecem certamente o célebre Questionário de Proust. Bernard Pivot, o apresentador do muito justamente famoso Bouillon de Culture da televisão francesa (1991-2001), viria mais tarde a adaptá-lo e a usá-lo no final das suas entrevistas. Inspirado por ele, James Lipton, o senhor do Actors Studio, viria a fazer outro tanto no seu Inside The Actors Studio (ai, os nervos de o Biography nos dar aquilo dobrado!). Lipton viria a ser convidado para aparecer na última emissão de Bouillon de Culture. A revista Vanity Fair (aproveito para referir que considero o romance homónimo de Thackeray um dos maiores monumentos da história da Literatura), no seu número de Fevereiro deste ano, publicou as respostas de Dustin Hoffman ao Questionário de Proust (aqui).

Porque publico isto aqui? Por causa da resposta à pergunta sobre qual a pessoa viva que mais admira, o nosso Manoel de Oliveira. Porque ri com a resposta quanto ao que mais valoriza nos amigos. Porque acaba com uma citação do meu amado Oscar Wilde. E porque... ora! Porque Dustin Hoffman é um dos meus actores de eleição!

  6. Intruso,
    Falei disso aqui:
    http://gotaderantanplan.blogspot.com/2008/10/carta-aberta-ao-biography-channel_27.html

    A todos:
    concluo que vieram todos marcar presença, como muito se faz na blogosfera. Não se deram ao trabalho de ler, ninguém se deu conta de que a pessoa viva que Dustin Hoffman mais admira é... Manoel de Oliveira.

    Em simultâneo, isto resultou num grande exercício de humildade para mim (mesmo não se aplicando aos que aqui comentaram).
    Sempre abominei bajuladores, e tive aqui a minha quota-parte (nenhuma mais patética do que uma certa criatura que me punha a ferver de sabujice, agora anda a lamber botas noutras paragens), sempre gaiteira e exuberante de parvoíce.

    Ninguém aqui me bajulou. Mas percebi que não leram. Exercício de humildade, repito.

    ResponderEliminar
  7. P.S. Excepção feita ao Pedro, que referiu Thackeray... :)

    ResponderEliminar
  8. Já há uns tempos tinha lido (terá sido no Público?) que D. Hoffman fizera essa curiosa referência a Manoel de Oliveira. Acho que muita gente ainda virá a rever a sua opinião sobre o mestre.

    [Ah! Também gosto muito do filme ali em cima - e de Anne Bancroft.]

  10. Hi

    I am new to this place. I found loads of useful information here. Please accept my little contribution towards community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you need to know how to lose 10 pounds in a week, you are believably not seeing for a basic diet and exercise plan. You can lose weight with a standard diet and workout plan, Still this takes a lot of time doing intensive cardio works out and sticking with a strict diet. Here I will outline the exact steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a workweek.

    1. Stay away from all deep-fried nutrients for the week
    2. Drink In an 8oz glass of grapefruit with breakfast every day. (this speeds up up your metabolism)
    3. Consume average portions (stop eating when you are full)
    4. Rather than eating 3 big a meals a day, eat 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
    5. Aviod eating after 9 P.M.. Calories do not burn, when you eat so late.
    6. Take proper sleep every night. Not getting plenty sleep causes been proved to be a leading factor to the body storing excess fat.
    7. Utilise a body/colon cleanse for the 7 days. This will get rid of needless fat stored just about the stomach area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
    8. I reccomend you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is tested to work, and you can get a free trial.
    9. For those people who desire to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic drink.
    10[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] A low GI diet is an outstanding method of loosing fat quickly.

    Thanks![url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com].[/url]!

  18. However, the banking Internet sector has exploded in the past five years.

    This banking Internet option has been very popular not only for customers who want to have some control over their account without having to go to the bank but for banks as well whose man hours have been freed up from performing simple tasks like balance inquiries, account transfers, and the like because the customer does it himself with banking Internet.

    Since the whole idea of banking Internet is to make banking as easy as possible, most banking Internet sites will allow you to make a transfer from a brick and mortar bank to the banking Internet site as often as you like with no charge or a small fee.

    When you utilize banking Internet options you are able to access your account, move money, pay bills, and any number of things from any computer with Internet access worldwide.
    [url=http://pcinternetbanking.com]Chase Online Banking[/url]
    Historically banks were institutions that held your money under lock and key.

    Customers now have the freedom to securely perform their banking 24 hours a day 7 days a week, where they can pay bills and set up recurring savings or payments, monitor check clearances and perform other tasks like transfers and balance enquiries through an internet connection.

    Others will also enable you to set up online banking by simply transferring your funds by check.
    [url=http://pcinternetbanking.com]Online Banking[/url]
    Paying bills, transferring funds and just plain monitoring your account are all possible with minimal stress whether you are ravelling, holidaying or working anywhere in the world.
