In attesa di tale stagione da De Niro travolta (infatti, c’è anche un film col famoso John…), non sarò pleonastico a elencarvi la marea di capolavori che ha superbamente interpretato. In modo Actor’s Studio prodigioso, tanto da divenire Egli, Egli stesso l’incarnazione dell’attore.

Di De Niro, stamattina… appena scoccata la Mezzanotte, quindi a Luna inoltrata estiva del Venerdì, 17 è già Sabato d’immensa celebrazione al più della Storia grande attore.
Già v’ho dedicato su “Cinerepublic” una mini-monografia di titanic’anniversario d’osannarne il valore.
Guai a disossarlo solo perché, per paghe alimentari, non ha alimentato la sua fama in film recenti di scarsa qualità se paragonata al ben di Dio che Lui, in quanto Eterno, ci donò per sempre, sinché morte non ci separerà mai, in quanto De Niro è immortale. E Dio c’è!

Alcuni mesi fa, in tempi ancor annoiati di mia “segregazione” domestica e giustamente asociale, come da nomea daTravis Bickle lo straniero, inserii sul mio canale “YouTube” una cinquina a Bob vincente.
Perché Bob fu Sam Ace Rothstein ma in Casinò fu perdente. Anche se io avrei scommesso tutto, simil amico di C’era una volta in America, sull’appunto suo asso!
Dalla manica, ecco 5 colpi a biografia immolata nel deniriano emularlo o forse esserlo:

Aspettando The Irishman

Robert DeNiro had a day in Hollywood today. He got a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, went to the Oscar Nominee luncheon and then an American Cinematheque tribute at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. LEAH SYDNEY did yeoman duty tracing DeNiro yesterday–he’s not often in Los Angeles– from the Chinese Theater in Hollywood to the Aero Theater in faraway Santa Monica.

At the Aero, Harvey Weinstein waxed poetic about De Niro to moderator Pete Hammond of Deadline.com: “What made me 20 plus years ago that Bob and Jane Rosenthal his partner from Tribeca came and recruited us to 375 Greenwich and thus it became in a way the independent film capital of the world.   Besides them organizing the Tribeca Film Festival after 9/11 to bring people downtown, he went to every restaurant and encouraged all of us to be better citizens.  From 9/11 to Hurricane Sandy and anything in between, he’s been there.  Unfortunately it’s been 31 years since he won an Oscar.  David, Bradley and Jennifer know that without Bob, the movie wouldn’t be half as good as it is.  He’s the soul of the movie.  So it’s about time he wins again.  He’s the best actor in the world.  And one of the best guys.”

DeNiro is infamous for short answers given with a smile. It’s just his way. When asked about putting his hand-and- footprints into the cement at the Chinese Theater, the Oscar nominee said: “It was fun.  I was with friends, Billy Crystal, Irwin Winkler.  It was fine and fun.” (Somewhere in heaven, Lucy Ricardo was smiling.)

On having  his 7th Oscar nomination for “Silver Linings Playbook”: “I wanted to work with David [O. Russell] for awhile.  “The Fighter” was terrific.  We were circling each other. “

Hammond asked if he was a Philadelphia Eagles fan–they’re the obsession of his “SLP” character. DeNiro took a beat, which produced laughter… “Personally, I’m not into football.”

DeNiro then went on to talk about SLP.  “It was complicated.  There was a lot of business to do in the scenes, a lot of characters.   There’s always the pressure.  David’s style is conducive in that he moves fast, always a sense of immediacy.  Controlled chaos really.  ”

What about DeNiro’s legendary dedication to his performances?  That he learned to drive a taxi for “Taxi Driver.”

“I did drive a cab for a couple of weeks and no one recognized me.” He added it wasn’t a problem for the passengers and wouldn’t be now: “As I get older, I don’t get recognized as much as you think.” As for prepping for roles, other than gaining
