En av de kanske mest jobbigast filmupplevelserna någonsin stavas Schindler's List. Steven Spielbergs förintelseberättelse är än idag ett sant mästerverk där det är omöjligt att inte gråta när Liam Neeson, i rollen som Oscar Schindler, bryter ihop i slutet. Liam Neeson själv var aldrig riktigt nöjd över hur han presterade i filmen vilket han berättade om i The Late Late Show.
"I think it's a wonderful film, I think Steven has done a really extraordinary film. I'm not happy with my performance at all. Because I don't see any of me in it. Just me, Liam Neeson, you know? Steven directed me very, very, very, very minutely. There were times — like there's a shot there of me with a cigarette ... I was a smoker at the time, he'd be telling me when to smoke. He'd be telling me when to breathe. I remember saying, 'I can't handle this. I'm not a puppet,' you know? Anyway there's a lot of scenes so when I see it I'm aware of Steven directing me on exactly how to hold the cigarette, and when to breathe, and when to look here and when to look there. So I'm not happy with my performance, even though I think the film is masterful."
Vi är däremot mer än nöjda över Liam Neesons insats.
